Today, I celebrate The International Waffle Day with an irresistible creation: Wild Garlic Waffles with Salmon and Green Asparagus. Wild garlic adds an unmatched flavor to the waffles. Its intense aroma and health benefits make it a perfect addition to this recipe. The wild garlic adds a wonderful green color, making the waffles delicious and beautiful. The highlight on the waffles is the grilled salmon. Its tender texture and rich taste make it a treat for any occasion.

The fresh and aromatic grilled asparagus has tender tips and a crunchy texture that harmonizes well with the wild garlic waffles. To round off the taste experience, I serve a delicious lemon-dill sauce, which gives the dish a fresh touch. Garnish with lemon slices, and this combination of spicy wild garlic, tender salmon, and crunchy asparagus is unbeatable.

VARIETY OF WAFFLES WORLDWIDE

Waffles are prepared worldwide, from sweet to savory, crispy or fluffy, everyone can find a waffle variation to suit their taste. But the culinary diversity doesn’t stop there. Vegan, gluten-free, sweet, or savory – the possibilities are endless. So, let the irons heat up and celebrate waffles – not just today, but every day. After all, waffles are more than just a pastry, they are a symbol of pleasure, joy, and friendship.

Let’s start the journey in Belgium, famous for its delicious waffles. Belgian waffles are well known for their thick, fluffy texture and are served with powdered sugar, fresh fruit, and cream. A variation of Belgian waffles is Liège waffles, made with hail sugar in the batter. It creates a caramelized crust that gives these waffles their unique taste. Perfect for those with a sweet tooth! A traditional German waffle is a heart-shaped waffle sold at fairs and folk festivals. They have a characteristic heart shape and are sprinkled with powdered sugar or served with hot cherries and cream.

WAFFLES OUT OF MY FUSION KITCHEN

Waffles are a popular breakfast dish in the USA. American waffles come with syrup, butter, and fresh fruit. They are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. In Scandinavia, waffles are part of a coffee break. Scandinavian waffles are thin and served with cream and strawberry jam. A simple but delicious treat! In Hong Kong, waffles are a popular snack. Hong Kong waffles are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. They are served with ice cream and sweet toppings such as fruit or chocolate.

In Iran, we love the Persian rosette waffles – Nan Panjeereh. Furthermore, there are some of my fusion waffle recipes, e.g. baklava waffles from 1001 Nights or my gluten-free heart waffles on a stick with rose water.

Wash the wild garlic and baby spinach and spin dry in a spin dryer. Place in a blender with the eggs, milk, melted butter and mix. Place the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl.

Peel the ends of the asparagus and cut off a bit. Brush the asparagus with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill for a few minutes on the barbecue or the OptiGrill as I did. Remove and keep warm.
