Today I Cooked... A recipe diary. Monday, September 19, 2016 Peaches Overnight Oats Parfait My longtime favorite has been this recipe from Joy The Baker, but if I don't start changing up my flavors, I'll go running back into the toasty arms of my beloved bagels slathered in cream cheese. While I ate my breakfast last week at my work desk, I was struck by inspiration for a new variety, and it is better than I anticipated! Reminiscent of a yogurt parfait, but with more heft and less being-starving-twenty-minutes-later. A few notes: I tried really hard to give measurements here, but for me it's really an unscientific process of what fits in a mason jar and looks like it'll be a good ratio. Kefir, if you don't already know, is a yogurt with the consistency of a thick liquid, making it a good fit to replace some milk and add some probiotics to your overnight oats. The oats soak it up really nicely, but if you don't have Kefir, I'm sure you could stir together some plain yogurt and milk before pouring it over the oats. I was surprised by how good this was with these simple ingredients, but other add-ins that I think would be delicious would be unsweetened shredded coconut, pecans, almonds, a touch of brown sugar instead of honey, or maybe a pinch of nutmeg. The beauty of overnight oats is their flexibility. For two mason jars of overnight oats: 1 cup oats 2 peaches 2 tablespoons chia seeds 1/2 cup Almond milk (or whatever your preference) 1/2 cup Kefir Honey Set two sealable jars in front of you. Peel and dice peaches. Alternate filling with diced peaches and oats, stirring as you go and splitting evenly between the jars. Add 1 Tbsp chia seeds to each, stir. Add almond milk, stir. Drizzle with honey to taste, stir. Add Kefir, stir (stirring is key since the Kefir is a little thick, some of the oats may miss the nice liquid). You want the liquid to cover the oats, plus a little extra, since the oats will soak up what's there. Seal and place in your fridge overnight, or at least four hours. Monday, August 29, 2016 Thai Peanut Curry with Salmon and Veggies Salmon: 1 salmon fillet (I use frozen, because that's the stage of life we're in here) Spices to taste Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lay salmon on tinfoil and rub salmon with paprika, garlic powder, salt, pepper, turmeric, curry powder and ginger. Place in tin foil and drizzle with olive oil. Wrap in foil and place in a baking dish. Bake for 10-12 minutes if unfrozen, roughly 30 if frozen - until it flakes easily with a fork. Peanut Sauce: 1/4 of a yellow onion 2 garlic cloves 2 T red curry paste 1/2 can coconut milk 2 T honey 1 T sesame oil 2 giant spoonfuls of peanut butter (sorry, I am trying to have exact measurements here, but sometimes it's hard!) Chopped peanuts (for garnish! Chopped cilantro (for garnish!) Dice onion and garlic and sauté for five minute in some olive oil over medium heat. Add red curry paste, cook two minutes longer and mix curry paste well with onion. Add coconut milk, stir well and bring to a light simmer. Stir in honey, sesame oil, and peanut butter, simmer until it thickens into a nice sauce. Keep sauce on low heat until other recipe elements are ready. Veggies: I chopped up carrot, bell pepper and cauliflower and sautéed them in another frying pan in some olive oil. I put in the carrots first to allow them to soften, then the cauliflower, and the bell pepper last. I added some of the spices that I used on the salmon (curry powder, paprika, etc.) and let them char a bit in the pan. Serve salmon and veggies over rice, top with peanut sauce. Garnish with cilantro and chopped peanuts. Tuesday, August 9, 2016 Guest Post: Bacon and Bell Pepper Quiche Crust: 1 ½ cups cold salted butter cut into small pieces 3 cups flour 1 egg 5 tablespoons cold water 1 tablespoon white vinegar 1 teaspoon salt Filling: Onion, thinly sliced 1 ½ bell peppers, chopped 8 slices bacon, fried and chopped 2 tablespoons butter 8 eggs 1 ½ cups milk 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese Salt and pepper to taste Any crust will work for the quiche. I made an extra crust awhile back and had stuck it in my freezer so I used it for this quiche. Here’s what I did to make the crust. In a large bowl, combine the cold cubed butter with the flour using a pastry cutter (or forks if you don’t have a pastry cutter) until the mixture is crumbly. Beat an egg in a separate bowl. Add the beaten egg to the flour mixture. Then add the cold water, vinegar, and salt. Stir all ingredients together until combined. Divide the dough in half and put each half in its own gallon sized plastic bag. Slightly flatten each ball of dough until it forms a disk about ½ an inch thick. Seal the bags and place them in the freezer. If you want to use the crust right away, pull it out about 15-20 minutes later. Otherwise pull the frozen crust out and leave it on the counter for about 30 minutes before rolling it out. Preheat the oven to 400°. To make the filling, melt the butter in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and bell peppers and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes. Remove the sautéed vegetables from the heat and allow them to cool. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, pepper, and a bit of salt. After it is whisked well, add the vegetables, bacon and cheese to combine. In a pie dish, place your crust and then pour in the egg mixture. If you have extra egg mixture, you can spray a muffin tin with cooking spray and then fill the tin with leftover mixture. These will bake faster than the quiche, but will still taste really good. Also you can freeze them after they are cooked. Cover the quiche lightly with aluminum foil, and bake for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and cook for an additional 10 minutes. food allergies and considerations: Could easily be made crustless, just be sure to grease the pan really well. Filling additions are easily adjusted, so you could leave out the bacon to make this vegetarian, but otherwise...bacon! Sunday, August 7, 2016 Stuffed Chicken with Pesto, Mozzarella, and Tomatoes I have a semi-part-time job which involves cooking nice dinners for small groups of people, and it's highly enjoyable, particularly when I get to choose the dish. I forgot how much I enjoy the challenge of creating a meal that many people enjoy regardless of differing tastes and dietary requirements. Here's what I made tonight, an easy crowd-pleaser: Stuffed Chicken with Pesto, Mozzarella, and Tomatoes 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts 1 cup pesto 1 lb mozzarella cheese 1/2 lb cherry tomatoes Olive Oil Bread Crumbs Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a baking sheet or glass pan. Dredge outside only of chicken in olive oil, then breadcrumbs. Butterfly the chicken halves by slicing the long, thin side nearly all the way through (but leave enough to keep the pieces together). Spread pesto evenly across all four pieces. Slice mozzarella and spread evenly across all four pieces. Slice cherry tomatoes in half, place roughly 4 tomatoes on each open piece of chicken. Fold chicken closed and securely fasten with toothpicks. (Pull sides of chicken as tightly together as possible, potentially using multiple toothpicks. The risk is having some melted cheese and pesto drip out, not to worry if you do, just spoon back over the top of the chicken once cooked). Slice the rest of the cherry tomatoes and place on top of chicken and in the pan. Bake at 375 for 30-40 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through. These chicken breasts were quite large, so I cut them in half and found that this comfortably served 8 with sufficient side dishes, or you could make the chicken the focus of the meal with a small salad on the side. note: I tried to include measurements here for those that prefer them, but you should follow your instincts and use less cheese, if you aren't a cheese fanatic like us sisters, or more tomatoes, if you have an abundance, etc. etc. I would consider stuffing some spinach leaves in there in the future, as well. Could easily be gluten-free w/out breadcrumbs, or with gluten-free ones, so that's why it is tagged as such. Sunday, March 20, 2016 Kale & Chickpeas, Or, The Only Thing I Want To Eat 2-3 bunches kale (any type), torn 1 can chickpeas, rinsed Olive oil Juice of 1-2 lemons about 1 TB red pepper flakes 5-6 cloves garlic, chopped salt Heat the oil in a skillet. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook until aromatic. (Don't let the garlic get crispy or dark.) Add chickpeas, cook until they start to darken. Add lemon juice and salt, Add kale. Eat when kale is cooked. Sunday, November 22, 2015 Thanksgiving Leftover Cornish Pasties I never considered the brilliance of attempting this at home, however, until one year in college when I was kindly invited over to my dear friend's family's home (where I gratefully spent many a college holiday) for Thanksgiving, and learned that they make pasties out of their leftovers each year. I ask you, did you ever believe that there was a way to make Thanksgiving leftovers, arguably one of the top 10 food genres on the planet, EVEN BETTER? Well, this surpasses it all, and is shockingly not going to require you spend too much more time in the kitchen the day after you've just churned out a feast that made you want to order takeout for three weeks after the leftovers run out. Preheat oven to 375 2 single pie crusts (or one double), unbaked Thanksgiving leftovers! 1 egg for egg wash All need to do is make a few extra pie crusts when you are making your pies. Last year, for six of us, my friends and I made two extra (single) pie crusts in preparation while we were in the Thanksgiving cooking craze, then threw them in the fridge. On Friday, we rolled them out (keep it a little on the thicker side) and cut them into 6 equal circles (we traced the circles with a plate, whatever seems to work). We then invited each guest into the kitchen to fill half of their circle of dough with whatever leftovers their heart desired. A winning combination is definitely sweet potatoes and/or mashed potatoes, stuffing, and turkey. Be sure to leave space need the edge to seal the dough. Add a little gravy to keep it moist but be careful not to overdo the liquid- save the cranberry sauce and most of your gravy for dipping. Fold the empty half of each circle of dough over the filling, creating a semi-circle pressing down on the edges with a fork to seal. Be sure to mark each person's pasty - traditionally, Cornish pasties were marked with the individual initials of each family member to distinguish them. Brush with an egg wash and place in the oven. Check at 20 minutes, but they'll likely need longer. Bake until crust begins to brown. Enjoy with caution, as it may cause you to declare the leftovers BETTER than your meal the day before. Party Menu Clockwise, we have: Endives with goat cheese. In the blue bowl, fava puree with cherries and parsley. Cucumbers on the side for dipping. A salad with grapefruit, avocado, endives, spring greens, marcona almonds, and a mustardy-lemony-mapley dressing. These tomato puffed pastries - they were the only thing I probably wouldn't make again. Or, would make in the summer with better tomatoes or use some slow-roasted tomatoes. These no-bake cookies. (FYI, I made them with vegan butter substitute for some vegan guests. Worked just fine.) Smitten Kitchen's orange olive oil cake, cut into cubes with whipped cream for dipping. Newfangled cheese ball. Just above that, apricot butter with bread. Ottolhengi's gorgeous beet dip with chili and yogurt. I wish I had seen his suggestion to thicken with mashed potatoes, but tasted amazing. The cumin chickpea puree from this recipe. Not pictured, we also had: Grape, rosemary and ricotta toasts. Stuffed dates. Lemon cookies. Chipotle-orange pecans. And last but not least, probably my favorite: Candied chocolate-dipped oranges. Plus, some guests brought extremely tasty sriracha-roasted cauliflower with sesame dip. Saturday, November 21, 2015 Chocolate-Covered Candied Oranges Friday, November 20, 2015 Apricot Butter Ingredients: 1/2 cup dried apricots, chopped 1/4 cup cognac or other brandy 2 TB brown sugar 2 sticks unsalted butter, softened Salt Equipment: Long match or stick lighter. Soak apricots in cognac in a small saucepan for 10 minutes. Then turn on heat and bring to a boil. Once boiling, ignite! Whee! The alcohol will shoot some tall blue flames into the air and will burn for a good little while. Once the flames die off, turn heat to medium, add brown sugar, and stir until sugar is dissolved. Take off heat, scrape into a food processor, and allow to cool. Add the butter and process. Salt the mixture to taste and eat on bread. Sunday, November 8, 2015 Warm Potato Salad with Arugula Group One: 3 lbs (I would estimate this is about 6-8 cups) of small new potatoes - I've used red, white, and purple, all to good effect 8 cloves garlic, unpeeled 1/4 cup olive oil Salt Group Two: 2 tsp whole grain mustard 1 TB balsamic 1/3 cup olive oil or lemon olive oil Group Three: Baby arugula - recipe says two handfuls, but I use an entire 5oz prewashed package Good parmesan, finely grated so it will melt into the potatoes (or goat cheese as in the original) Salt & pepper As the recipe says, the key to the whole thing is to roast the potatoes very slowly so they will become incredibly soft, not crispy. For this reason, get the smallest potatoes you can, or chop them into halves or quarters. Toss the Group One ingredients together and spread on a baking sheet. Bake at 250 for up to an hour until they are light brown and completely soft. You really don't want them to be "al dente" at all, so leave time to bake them for as long as need be. Whisk the Group Two ingredients together to make the vinaigrette. As soon as the potatoes come out of the oven, squeeze the garlic cloves out of their skins into a serving bowl and spread the garlic around with a fork. Throw in the hot potatoes and then the vinaigrette. Make sure to do this while the potatoes are hot so they will absorb the vinaigrette. Before they get too cool, add the parmesan and toss so it will melt. Once they have cooled to "warm," add the arugula, which should wilt just a little and be well-dressed. (I find this recipe makes plenty of vinaigrette, but if there isn't enough for the arugula to be dressed, make more.) Season and serve warm. Wednesday, November 4, 2015 Baked Delicata Slice up one or two delicata squash. LEAVE THE SEEDS IN and the skins on, and discard the ends. Slices should be no more than 1/2 inch thick. Toss the slices in a bowl with enough olive oil to generously coat them, plus salt. Lay them out on a baking sheet and drizzle with just a liiiiittle bit of honey, then flip them over so the honey side is down. Bake at 350 until the bottoms are a deep, caramelized brown and the edges are wrinkling and caving in - about a half hour. The seeds will get a little crispy and the squash itself will be completely soft, as will the skins. Eat them hot as a side dish, hot or cold as a snack, or chopped up as a salad ingredient. Saturday, October 24, 2015 Baked Apples Immediately when thinking of fall treats, a memory popped to mind of our mum pulling a tray of baked apples out of the oven when I was a kid. She used to sometimes throw them together as a spontaneous sweet treat - easy to make, and not terribly bad for you, as desserts go. I texted her for the recipe, and in less than an hour we had perfect bowls of warm, sweetly spiced apples, the puddles of their juices melting into scoops of vanilla ice cream. For me, it was a lovely serving of nostalgia and also kitchen redemption ( ;) ). I immediately felt like I was sitting at our kitchen table with a cozy snack before bed. I hope that they can bring you the same sentimentality, or help you to create new autumn memories. 4 apples 1//4 cup of brown sugar 1/4 cup nuts (pecans or walnuts, most likely) 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon cloves 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg 2 tablespoons butter Drizzle of maple syrup Vanilla Ice Cream Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Carve out center of apples with a paring knife and spoon, removing all seeds and leaving bottom somewhat thick (about a 1/2 inch). In a small bowl, mis brown sugar, nuts and spices. Feel free to play with different spices (allspice, pumpkin pie spice), or to add some dates or currants to the mix. Pack the mixture into the apple cores. Put a small pat of butter on top of each, roughly 1/2 tablespoon. Drizzle a little maple syrup on top if you like. Bake for 30-45 minutes, until soft. Pour the juices from apples from pan on top before serving, warm from the oven with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Sunday, October 18, 2015 Kaycee's Organic Raspberry Princess Muffins Adapted from The Disney Princess Cookbook Kaycee's Adaptations: Substitute raspberries for blueberries Substitute organic gluten free flour Substitute organic brown sugar and butter Eat with your Dad on a chilly Sunday! Sunday, October 11, 2015 Sweet Potato, Apple and Onion Galette Serves 4 as an appetizer, 2 as part of a main course 1 single refrigerated pie crust (If I had had premade pie crust on hand, I would have been tempted to speed the dinner process along by using it. However, that's why I don't keep storebought pie crust on hand- it really is so much better when you make it yourself, even when you mess it up slightly and it's hard to roll out or too sticky) (Requested edit: I like smitten kitchen's and Joy the Baker's pie crusts, if you are in need of a trusty recipe) 1 small sweet potato, or half a large one (peeled, cut in half lengthwise and sliced) 1 apple, cored and sliced 1 quarter of an onion, thinly sliced 1/4 cup sharp white cheddar, cubed 1 tsp sage 1 tsp rosemary 2 T butter, cubed Preheat oven to 375. Roll out pie crust on a flat surface, transfer to a baking pan (do this before filling the crust, don't make the same mistake I did). Dab crust with a few cubes of butter and cubes of cheddar, gently shake some of the spices over. Artfully layer the sweet potato, apple and onion slices, starting with a circle in the middle and tucking butter and cheddar cubes throughout. Be sure to leave 3/4 - 1 inch around the edge for the crust. When finished, top with any leftover butter and cheddar, and the rest of the spices. Use your discretion on the amounts of apple, sweet potato and onion - you want the same amount of apple and sweet potato, less onion, and for your crust not to be overloaded. Fold the edge of the crust over the edges. Because this is a galette, it's supposed to be a little imperfect compared to its fussy cousin, pie. Bake for 40 minutes, rotating halfway through. Serve with a bowl of soup or a hearty salad, or as the sort of appetizer that makes the main course feel embarrassed to follow. I would imagine that if you caramelized the onions, this would be even better, but didn't get to that point last night - let me know if you do.

I like to have a 2:1 broccoli:tomato ratio, but you can adjust accordingly. Normally I use somewhere between 1/2 and 1 container of tomatoes. While those heat to bursting, wash and thinly slice your broccoli. I cut off the rough ends of the stem but leave as much of it as possible, then work almost in a shaving motion from stem to floret. Shave it as thinly as possible: you end up with almost one-dimensional little broccoli tree figures. Chop up your feta into small crumbly cubes. Try to use a nice feta and be generous here. Toss with broccoli and tomatoes. Now, time for dressing. In a bowl, whisk a big scoop of yogurt with a generous drizzle of olive oil, several squeezes of lemon juice, and possibly a touch of water to thin. Add salt and pepper to taste. You want this to be really tangy and a touch salty. Use enough to generously dress the salad, that's key. Fold your dressing into the bowl with the broccoli, tomatoes, and feta, and enjoy. Food allergies and ethics Vegetarian and gluten free, with no fuss at all. Tuesday, April 21, 2015 Coconut Curry Here's what I used: Group One: 1 onion 2-3 jalapenos depending on your spice preference 4 large garlic cloves 3 inch piece of ginger, freshly grated (about 1 TB) Group Two: Water from one coconut (I bought a fresh one at an Asian market and I think it made all the difference - use a screwdriver to make a hole through the eye and drain the water) 1 TB soy sauce 2 TB lime juice Salt (taste and adjust) Group Three: One sweet potato, diced One bell pepper, diced Cubed fried tofu (also from Asian market) Fresh cherry tomatoes Basil leaves to garnish I just softened the Group One ingredients on the stovetop in some oil, pureed them in the blender with the Group Two ingredients, and used the sauce to cook the Group Three ingredients until sweet potatoes were soft (adding tofu and tomatoes later in the cooking time). You might need to add a little water during cooking. Group Three could really include whatever. But the sauce was killer! Thursday, April 2, 2015 Corn & Purple Rice Dinner Salad The ingredients are just a good nutty rice (in this case, long grain purple rice, which is a thing! - one rice-cooker cup), the corn from 3 cobs (quickly boiled), and healthy doses of grated Gruyere, fresh chopped parsley, chopped dried cherries, olive oil, salt, and lemon juice or white balsamic vinegar - mixed together and served warm. Friday, March 27, 2015 Sriracha Fried Avocado Tacos Tuesday, March 24, 2015 Buttermilk Pudding I bought buttermilk to make muffins last weekend which i totally screwed up & tossed :( I used this recipe to use some of the buttermilk left over but I did not make it chocolate because I wanted something to go with blackberries (on sale!). I zested a lemon into the hot mixture & the juice of said lemon because mixture was already tart from the buttermilk. I had intended to make vanilla pudding but lemon seemed ideal with the tart flavor. I did add a tsp or so of vanilla at the end. YUM Monday, March 16, 2015 Roasted Cabbage with (Faux) Lemon Aioli Roasted Cabbage with (Faux) Lemon Aioli Pre-heat your oven to 400°F. Slice the stem off one head cabbage. Wash well. Slice into rounds, about one or two inches thick. Rinse again for good measure. Place in glass baking dish, drizzle with olive oil, and season generously with salt and pepper. Let roast for 40-45 minutes, until it is beginning to crisp. In the meantime, mix a bit of olive oil and lemon juice with 2 tablespoons mayo and 1.5 tablespoons mustard. Mix well, and adjust to taste. I like to think with just a small splash of water. To serve drizzle your faux-aioli over the cabbage rounds. Delightful as a warm first course salad, as a side to go with steak or pork chops, or integrated into any St. Patrick's day supper! Food Allergies and Ethics About as veggie as they come. Vegan only if you skip the faux aioli or use a vegan mayo substitute. Gluten free, just check your condiments as always. Tuesday, March 10, 2015 Late Winter Meals: Eating Lately (Refried Beans with Veggie Hash and Eggs, Sausage Soup, and Polenta Bowls) Sausage Soup I've made soooo many variations of sausage soup this year. I took photos of none. But! Look! Someone else already did a better job than I ever could on the food photography and recipe development front! Lucky for you, Deb Perelman's version is delicious and hearty, with sausage, lentils, chard, and garlic. I subbed the carrots and celery for potatoes and red peppers and think it was the favorite attempt of the season. Refried Beans with Veggie Hash and Eggs A pretty standard improvised weeknight meal for us. I just pick my favorite veggies -- usually red peppers, potatoes, jalapenos, garlic, shallots, and kale -- chop 'em up and saute them in olive oil, with tons of salt and pepper. Right before they're finished I clear two little spaces in the pan for my eggs, crack 'em and fry in a bit of butter while the veggies finish cooking. Serve it up with hot refried beans and either rice or warm corn tortillas. Sharp cheddar and avocado are always welcome additions, and spooning on some of this hot chili garlic sauce is a must. Polenta Bowls A long time ago, Annalise tried to sell me on Joy the Baker's Baked Polenta with Tomato and Basil. Ever the know-it-all, I assured her I wouldn't like it. Then I moved to Boston now I make my own version of it at least weekly. My apologies for the condescension, sweet sister. Clearly, you know what's up and what's good. We skip the baking, preferring bowls of soft, cheesy stovetop-polenta made as per the instructions of the package, plus a little extra Parmesan and butter. I like to make a simple marinara from tomato paste for our bowls. So easy, so good, so damn cheap. Just dice some garlic and onions, cook in olive oil, add a 6 oz. can of tomato paste, Italian spices, 1 and 1/2 cups water, and a pinch of sugar. Then simmer. I sometimes throw in white beans, mushrooms, peppers, or whatever else for substance and nutrients. Want to make a quick meal, and have no time for marinara? Just throw some grape tomatoes in when you add the polenta to the boiling water. They'll burst, and you can just serve it all up with some pesto. Or add a pat of butter and wilted greens. All gluten free. Sausage soup - not vegetarian. But you got that, right? None of this is vegan. Sorry about that, but the theme of this winter was "it snowed and I ate cheese."

Mix together dry ingredients in one bowl and wet in another. Add wet to dry and combine. Divide batter into a greased standard 12-muffin tin and bake for 15 minutes. Kale in Harissa-Yogurt Broth 4 cups broth (nothing too strong - I used bone broth that I make every few months and keep frozen, my one weird unvegetarian dietary tendency) 2 TB harissa paste or spice mix (or as much as you can stand) 1/2 TB fresh ginger paste (or more if you like) 1 bunch kale, destemmed (or whatever leafy greens) Salt 1/2 cup to 1 cup plain yogurt Heat the broth, stir in the spices, adjust the flavor, cook the kale in the broth. Stir in the yogurt when you serve. Monday, January 19, 2015 Cleansing Citrus Toddy Or, if you're still savoring the spiced and cozy, consider our moonshine toddy, apple toddy, or bourbon toddy. Monday, January 12, 2015 Za'atar Roasted Bone-In Chicken Thighs If you don't have za'atar, you can make your own following these instructions, or substitute a blend of thyme and oregano. The original recipe, from Deborah Krasner's unparalleled Good Meat, calls for fresh cardamom pods and wild greek oregano. Za'atar Roasted Chicken Thighs adapted from Good Meat, by Deborah Krasner 2-4 lbs bone-in chicken thighs (we found 3.5 pounds serves about 7 people) 1 whole lemon, zested 1/3 cup olive oil 3 tablespoons sesame seeds 5 cloves garlic, diced 4 tablespoons za'atar 1 teaspoon cardamom 1 teaspoon coriander 2 teaspoons whole black pepper pods 1 tablespoon sea salt In a mortar and pestle, begin crushing pepper pods, diced garlic, and salt with a touch of olive oil. As pepper begins to break down, add sesame seeds and za'atar. Continue crushing. Add the juice of the lemon as well as its zest, cardamom, coriander, and, slowly, all of the olive oil. Crush until a mostly uniform paste is formed. Brush each side of each chicken thigh with the paste and let marinate overnight, or for four hours at a minimum. It's easiest to let it marinate flesh side up directly in the baking dish you plan to cook the thighs in. Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Bake chicken on a rack placed on the very top rung of your oven for 45 minutes total -- again, flesh side up in a shallow glass or ceramic baking dish. Halfway through, flip the meat so the skin side is up and can get crispy during the final baking time. We served this with mushroom risotto and kale salad for a lovely Sunday dinner. Would be great with plain rice and a bit of yogurt and spinach, with mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, squash...so many possibilities for something so easy and satisfying. Food Allergies and Ethics Gluten-free, just check your spice blends. Obviously, not vegetarian or vegan. We have been enjoying buying meat from Whole Foods and cuing from their five-step animal welfare rating system. Bone-in chicken thighs are a relatively affordable cut of meat and cost less than white chicken meat, which makes it easier to handle the prices that come with Whole Foods. Local butchers and local meat are a better way to go, as well, if you have access.

Wednesday, December 31, 2014 Simple Garlic Soup Simple Garlic Soup adapted from recipes by The Splendid Table, Brooklyn Supper, and Serious Eats 3 heads garlic 3-4 medium yellow potatoes 1/4 yellow onion 1 box beef broth (if available: any kind of stock, or even water and wine, will do) Olive Oil Salt Black Pepper Thyme Heavy Cream (optional) Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Chop the tops off of 2 heads of garlic and drizzle with olive oil. Roast in oven for 20 minutes or until fully soft. Remove from heat and let cool. While your garlic is roasting, peel and smash the cloves from the remaining garlic head. Rinse and dice your potatoes, and dice your small piece of onion. Cover the bottom of a soup pot with a generous layer of olive oil and add garlic, potatoes, onion, pepper, salt, and thyme. Heat to medium-low and let saute slowly with the lid on. Check every five minutes to make sure nothing is getting too brown. After 15 minutes or so, add the beef broth and let simmer. Once your roasted garlic heads are cool, remove the skin and add to your pot. After simmering for a bit longer, add a bit of water to thin things out (unless you weren't using stock to begin with), then use an immersion blender until smooth. Drizzle in heavy cream or milk if you have it on hand, stir and enjoy. Serves two. Food allergies and ethics Gluten-free so long as you use gluten-free broth, I prefer Pacific Brand. To make vegetarian, substitute beef broth for a flavorful veggie stock. Vegan if you use veggie stock and skip the heavy cream. Monday, December 22, 2014 Brown Butter Rosemary Cornbread Stuffing Stuffing, the usually humble, down-to-earth dish who is content to never be the star of the Thanksgiving show became a fancy-pants, bougie-fied (not a word, don't care) food in my hands and I have no regrets. There was a brief moment in time between the cooking and eating of said stuffing where I feared I had gone too far, but one bite and a friend's declaration that it was the best stuffing he'd ever had and all doubts were laid to rest. So now that you know this dish is over the top, I can tell you that I made my own cornbread to then make into stuffing. I can admit that I browned butter not once, but twice. And I can reassure you again that it is so worth it. Please indulge me and add this to your Christmas meal, or next Thanksgiving, or any other reason you have to feast, because really, who says stuffing is just for Thanksgiving? Not I, and not this stuffing. cornbread recipe barely adapted from Joy The Baker 1/2 cup (1 stick) plus 1 tablespoon unsalted butter 2 large eggs 1 cup buttermilk 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 cup coarse ground cornmeal 1 teaspoon salt 3/4 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 cup granulated sugar 1 tablespoon grated orange zest 3 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8×8 square baking pan, line with parchment paper. Brown the butter in a small saucepan. Heat slowly over medium-low heat until it begins to crackle and brown. Remove from heat, whisk together with eggs, buttermilk, and orange juice. In a large bowl, blend orange zest and rosemary into sugar, pressing the zest and spice into the sugar to release the flavor. Add the rest of the dry ingredients to the large bowl with the flavored sugar, whisk to combine. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stir to combine. Pour batter into pan and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. stuffing: 6 tablespoons butter Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Drizzle the remaining butter and chicken stock over the top. Bake 30-45 minutes, until crisp and brown on top. Saturday, December 20, 2014 Guest Post: Sweet Potato Biscotti Merry Christmas and Happy Eatings, Everyone! I am honored that these sisters have graciously agreed to allow me the opportunity to share with you a recipe I just recently tried. Knowing this family is very good about eating healthy, I was a little concerned as to how my horribly UN-healthy fare filled with full-fat, refined sugar, gluten and plenty of “vitamin C” (cholesterol) would be received. But my fears were alleviated when I scrolled through these culinary delights and occasionally found my old friends, “cheese, butter, and heavy cream.” And even the party twins, “BOOZE & PIE”! So here goes…enjoy! SWEET POTATO BISCOTTI For The Biscotti: 3 C all-purpose flour 2 t baking powder ½ t salt 1 t cinnamon ¼ t nutmeg ½ c butter ½ c sugar ½ c brown sugar 3 whole eggs ½ c sweet potato puree ½ c chopped candied pecans For The Icing (optional): 1 bag white chocolate chips 1 T shortening Preheat oven to 350 deg F. Mix together all dry ingredients and set aside. In a separate bowl, cream butter & sugars together, then add eggs and puree. Next, add the dry ingredients into the wet. Fold in pecans. Place dough onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or silicone mat. Shape into a 15”x16” log and bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and place log on a cooling rack. Let cool for 30 minutes or more. Slice into ¾” to 1” slices* and return the slices to lined cookie sheet, bake for 8-10 minutes. Flip slices over and bake on other side for 8-10 minutes. Remove from oven and cool on cooling racks. These are good without the icing, but for extra scrumptiousness, melt chips and shortening in microwave in 30 second increments until melted. Dip one side of biscotti slices in white chocolate and let dry on cooling racks until firm. *Slices may then be sliced in half lengthwise for a more authentic biscotti size. Wednesday, December 17, 2014 Tom Kha, no Gai Ingredients: Veggie bullion (or chicken broth) 3 TB lemongrass in a tube (or 4 stalks lemongrass, chopped into 4-inch lengths and smashed with the back of a knife) 3 TB ginger in a tube (or a big, hand-sized hunk of ginger, peeled, chopped and smashed with back of knife) 4-5 Thai chilis, stems chopped off (or Sriracha to taste) Juice of 1 - 2 limes Chopped kale - or, if you prefer, the more traditional add-ins of chicken and/or mushrooms 1 can coconut milk 2 TB fish sauce (vegetarian fish sauce can be found at Vietnamese markets) To top: Fresh cilantro leaves, and I highly recommend fried garlic from an Asian market (or homemade, but it's easily purchased), which packs a great flavor punch on all kinds of soups, from tomato to pho. Equipment: A fine mesh strainer. Mix 8 cups of water with half the amount of bullion called for so it's not overpowering. Add lime juice, chilis or sriracha, ginger, and lemongrass, and boil for 10 minutes, tasting and adjusting along the way to see if you need more of anything to make the broth pop. Then, strain to remove the ginger and lemongrass pulp. Return to a boil and add whatever ingredients you want. I made it simple with just kale. Boil until these are cooked. Add about 1/2 to 3/4 of your can of coconut milk, to taste, plus fish sauce. Again, taste and adjust before serving. Some recipes recommend a bit of sugar this point; I left it out, but follow your tastebuds. Ladle into bowls and serve with a small bowl of rice and a small well-baked sweet potato on the side. Top with fresh cilantro and fried garlic.

Food Allergies and Ethics Gluten-free Wednesday, November 26, 2014 Mulled Wine Pear Pie DUDE BEANIE I WANT TO MAKE THIS! BLOG IT! So here it is, just in time for you to dash out and grab the ingredients to add another pie to your Thanksgiving menu (I'm being presumptuous, but I can almost guarantee that by this family's standards, you don't have enough pies planned for Thursday and that ought to be remedied.) My new favorite equation is booze + fruit = pie, and this season needed a replacement for my ever beloved Bourbon Peach. As I considered exploring other fall flavors in place of the tragically overused pumpkin, I realized that pear and wine may be a perfect match, and a quick google search resulted in baking this Pear, Red Wine and Rosemary Pie. That yielded a slightly disappointing result - I felt that the syrup was too fussy, and the taste was not nearly as flavorful as I'd hoped. But a lightbulb went off in my head, and I set about making a mulled wine version of my own with a less involved syrup process, some soaking of the pears in the syrup, and more prominent spices. This is one of those pies in which the baking process is just as lovely as the eating. The pears turn a stunning, jewel-toned purple, and the smell of the spices and wine simmering into syrup is just the thing your home would like to be filled with in November. for the syrup: 1 bottle (probably cheap) dry red wine 1 cup sugar 3 sticks cinnamon 6 whole cloves 2 whole star anise (feel free to add your own spices, or even some orange zest, but don't go overboard - you'll add more spices later and my first round was far too heavy on the cloves) Place all ingredients into a medium pot, bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until reduced to 1/3 of original volume. Strain spices from syrup, pour over sliced pears in a large bowl and allow to soak 2-3 hours (if anyone tries longer or shorter, let me know how it turns out!) for the pie: 1 double pie crust, unbaked 3 lbs of Bartlett or Anjou Pears, peeled and sliced 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves 1 tablespoon butter, cut into pieces 1 beaten egg Granulated sugar Preheat oven to 375. Roll out one pie crust to fit a 9-inch pie pan, place in bottom of pie pan. Toss flour and spices in the bowl with wine-soaked pears. Place filling (syrup included, but use your eye to judge if you feel there's too much liquid and adjust accordingly) in pie crust and dot with butter pieces. Roll out other crust and place on top. Pinch edges of crusts together to seal, flute and decorate as desired. Cut slits to ventilate. Brush crust with a beaten egg and sprinkle with granulated sugar. Bake for 30 minutes at 375, then reduce oven to 350 and rotate pie. Continue baking for 60-75 minutes or until crust is golden and juices are bubbling. Tuesday, November 18, 2014 Moonshine Hot Toddy Then came my personal favorite remedy that I had already been gladly utilizing: the hot toddy ("Eat honey & lemon if U have it. Warm it up & add whiskey. Do you have bourbon left from pie? It would work too.") The hot toddy has become my go-to comfort when sick - so never fear, Mum, this sick daughter's throat is well coated with toddy love. Tonight I was inspired to do a fall twist on the classic version, which turned out better than I expected. So here you go, a rare same-night posting: For 1: Hot water Cinnamon Apple Spice herbal tea from Celestial Seasonings (or similar) Apple Pie Moonshine 1 quarter of an orange Honey Fill your mug slightly over half-full with hot water. Add tea bag, the juice of the orange, honey and moonshine as desired. Perfect for any cold evening, whether sickness or weather-related. Mum-recommended. Previous Toddy Inspiration: by Kate: Italian Amaretto Cookies and Bourbon Hot Toddies by Sarah: Apple Toddy Friday, November 14, 2014 Classic Turkey Soup Ingredients 2 turkey breasts, combining to about 1 to 1 1/2 pounds of meat 2 ribs of celery 5-7 carrots 1 yellow or sweet onion 1 cup wild rice 8 cups veggie or turkey broth Olive Oil Sage Salt Pepper Cook the turkey breasts ahead of time in the crockpot with 3 cups of your broth (more if needed to completely cover the meat), sage, pepper, and salt. You could do this the day before or the day of, just make sure you get it in at least four hours prior to cooking. I usually cook on high the entire time, but if you notice the meat is done in advance or cooking quickly switch to low for the duration. Cover the bottom of a large soup pot with olive oil and place on burner turned to medium high heat. Add the full cup of wild rice and stir to coat with olive oil. While the rice and oil are heating, dice your onion finely. Add onion to heat and stir with rice. Start chopping your carrots and celery. I like the celery chopped finely and the carrots with a little larger dice. After the onions have softened a bit, add the broth that you left out of the crockpot, the celery, and the carrots. Bring to a low boil, then turn down just a bit. It typically takes the rice 30-40 minutes to cook through. While soup is simmering, shred the turkey breasts using two forks. Add to the main soup pot along with the broth they cooked in, let simmer for another 10 minutes, and enjoy. Depending on how your rice cooks, you may find you need a little more liquid: I added about 1/2 cup of water and that worked out fine. We ate this as a very hearty soup, almost a stew. Food Allergies and Ethics Gluten-free and dairy-free, just check your broth. Monday, November 10, 2014 Perfect Oven-Fried Potatoes Easy peasy perfect oven-fried potatoes. Picture says it all, right? Ingredients Yellow potatoes (4-5 good-sized, could also use a larger number of tiny fingerlings) Butter (1-2 Tbsp) Salt Pepper Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Put somewhere between 1-2 tablespoons of butter in a glass baking pan and place on the top shelf of your oven so that the butter heats with the oven. (You can do more or less butter depending on the size of your potatoes and your personal butter preference.) Puncture your potatoes with a fork and place them together on a plate, then microwave for 5ish minutes or until tender. The first time you do this, stop halfway through and check. Watch not to turn them to mush, you want them to be cooked through, soft, but holding their shape. Sometimes if I have bigger potatoes, I flip them halfway through, too. Next, quarter the steaming potatoes with a sharp knife. You could oven-fry 'em whole or halved, too, but you'll get a better crisp if you quarter them. Pull out the baking pan and add your potatoes to the sizzling butter. It's ok to do this even if the oven isn't at 425 yet, you'll just have to watch your baking time. Don't be alarmed if the butter has browned a bit, then you just have brown butter fried potatoes and what's not to love about that! Toss with salt and pepper. Add more butter if you need after you see how coated the potatoes are. I go for a nice coat but not dripping. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown. I like to finish off with a quick broil to get them even crispier. Flip them halfway through if you want, though sometimes I'm too lazy and it's fine. Obviously, you can do this with more than 4-5 potatoes, I have just found that to be a nice size to serve alongside breakfast or lunch for P and I and have some leftovers. These are also delightful with a little grated cheese and a glass of red wine. Which I think counts as a reasonable working gal's dinner. Thursday, November 6, 2014 Harissa Broth Vegetable Soup with Chickpeas + Swirled Feta This soup received rave reviews from several guests with very diverse palates. The swirled feta takes it over the top and is well worth the bit of extra effort. Ingredients for Soup 2 yellow onions 1 head garlic 1 anaheim chile pepper 2 red bell peppers Large handful of kale 1 small butternut squash 4 yellow potatoes 1 14.5 oz can diced fire-roasted tomatoes 1 can chickpeas 32 fl. oz. veggie broth 1 Lemon 2 T harissa Salt Pepper Za'atar if already in your cupboard Olive Oil Ingredients for Swirled Feta Whole fat, plain greek yogurt 1/2 block feta Fresh parsley Several squeezes of lemon Za'atar (again, if already in your cupboard) Salt Pepper Assembly Cover the bottom of your soup pot with a generous pour of olive oil and set on medium heat. At this point, I recommend also puncturing the skin on your butternut squash and microwaving it to soften. I also do this with the potatoes if I'm in a hurry and don't have time to wait for them to cook through all the way in the soup. Dice your onions, chile pepper, and red bell peppers and add to the pot. Season with salt, pepper, and za'atar if using. While those soften, mince or crush your entire head of garlic. If you have one, place garlic in a mortar & pestle along with a big squeeze or two of lemon, two to three tablespoons harissa (depending on how hot your harissa is), and another pour of olive oil. Crush to form a paste. If you don't have a mortar and pestle, just stir this all together and be sure to really mince/crush your garlic. Add your harissa paste to the soup pot and toss well with onions and peppers. When onions are translucent, add the vegetable broth. While broth simmers with the onions, peppers, and harissa paste, pull out your softened butternut squash and softened potatoes. Chop and add to soup. Rinse your squash seeds and roast them like this if you'd like an extra soup topping. Rinse your canned chickpeas and add to soup along with fire roasted tomatoes. As a last step, rinse and de-rib your kale, then toss in a few handfuls of that as well. Finally, while the soup simmers, you can whip up this amazing swirl of feta, yogurt, and fresh herbs to top each bowl with. Put 1/2 block of feta into your food processor along with a big handful fresh parsley, some squeezes of your lemon, salt, pepper, and za'atar or more harissa if you want. Process. Depending on how wet your feta is, you may want to add a small bit of olive oil, too. After the first process, add tablespoons of plain whole greek yogurt until you have a nice creamy consistency. If you don't have a food processor, finely chop your parsley and mix by hand. Taste and continue to season the soup as you like - I think I poured in a bit of the wine I was drinking at one point. Serve with a generous dollop of the feta cream on top and crusty bread on the side. Food Allergies and Ethics: Vegetarian, vegan if you skip the swirled feta. Gluten free, but please check your veggie broth. I use Pacific brand. Monday, October 27, 2014 Sea Salt & Vinegar Roasted Squash Seeds Until we find a way to divert food waste again, I'm trying to be more mindful about reducing the amount of it that ends up in one of Boston's trash incinerators. This morning, poised to toss the innards of a gorgeous acorn squash, I realized one squash's worth of roasted seeds would make a lovely afternoon snack. Whether you have the seeds from just one acorn or butternut or delicata or kabocha, or a whole slew of pumpkin seeds from Halloween prep, you can do the same. Let's use as much of our veggies as possible, people! Sea Salt & Vinegar Roasted Squash Seeds Preheat oven to 350. Rinse your seeds well, and then spread on the bottom of a glass baking pan or baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes, plain, to get them dried out. Once beginning to crisp, reduce the heat to 250. Pull out seeds and coat well with olive oil, sea salt, cracked black pepper and white wine vinegar. (Be generous with the vinegar if you want that puckery taste!) Let bake for another 30 minutes. Pull out and enjoy warm as a snack or on top of soup, like this roasted red pepper and potato or this chopped veggie soup with crema and seeds. To save for later, let them cool completely and then store in a glass jar with an airtight lid, then use as a topper on a hearty salad like our warm quinoa and chickpeas mix. Sunday, October 26, 2014 Chopped Fall Slaw with Brussel Sprouts Ingredients About a dozen brussel sprouts 1 pint grape tomatoes White wine vinegar Lemon Olive oil Sea salt Cracked black pepper Maple syrup Assembly Rinse your brussel sprouts and cut of their woody bottoms. Chop in a food processor or shred manually with a sharp knife. Place into salad bowl and toss with several large squeezes of lemon, olive oil, sea salt and black pepper. Next, rinse and finely chop your tomatoes. (I did this in the food processor too, just be careful not to turn them into tomato paste.) Add to the sprouts. Add a bit of white wine vinegar and maple syrup to taste, toss, and enjoy. Food Allergies & Ethics: Vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free.

Da bi ga sutra ujutro jeli, danas ga ujutro morate početi spremati. Ali rezultat na kraju je vrijedan toga. Inače, fuul je poznat još i pod nazivima fool, foul, ful, fūl te madames, mudammas, medammis i midammas. Sastojci: 450 g suhog, očišćenog boba (ne svježeg!) 1/2 šalice crvene leće 3 do 4 češnja češjnaka 1 žličica kima sol 3 žlice maslinovog ulja ili otopljenog maslaca Priprema: Namočite bob u vodi, oko 8 do 10 sati. Procijedite. U velikoj tavi pomiješajte bob, crvenu leću, luk, češnjak i kim te potopite vodom (neka vode bude oko 5 cm iznad boba i leće). Zakuhajte, smanjite temperaturu na minimum, poklopite i kuhajte narednih 8 do 10 sati (možete kuhati preko noći), povremeno skidajući pjenu koja se nakuplja na površini. Uklonite s vatre te protisnite bob i leću s drobilicom za pire krumpir. Dodajte limunov sok te po ukusu posolite. Premjestite bob u veliku zdjelu te ga poškropite maslinovim uljem ili rastopljenim maslacem. Servirajte uz pečena ili tvrdo kuhana jaja i lepinje.

Rastopljena čokolada ne smije biti prevruća - tek topla, da se može liznuti. Pjenasto izradite margarin sa šećerom, vanilin šećerom i 8 žumanjaka - a na koncu, uz mješanje, dodajte i restopljenu čokoladu. Pomješajte brašno i prašak za pecivo, pa žlicu po žlicu (uz neprekidno mješanje) dodajte u smjesu jaja i maslaca. Dobro očistite metlice miksera. U 8 bjelanaca dodajte prstohvat soli i žlicu šećera u prahu - pa umutite čvrsti snijeg. Snijeg oprezno umješajte u smjesu brašna i jaja - kuhačom, a ne električnim mikserom. Kalup za tortu premažite maslacem i pobrašnite. Ulijte tijesto i snažno ga protresite da se izravna. Biskvit pecite na oko 170 st. Celziusa oko 60 minuta. Da li je tijesto pečeno provjerite drvenim štapićem, čačkalicom ili ražnjićem. Kada zabodete čačkalicu u biskvit, ona mora izaći suha. Pečeni biskvit oslobodite od kalupa i ostavite da se potpuno ohladi. Hladni biskvit prepolovite koncem ili dugačkim nožem. Četiri velike žlice marmelade stavite u veliku šalicu za čaj, dodajte čep likera od marelice i žustro promješajte. Doljnji dio torte premažite marmeladom (3-5 mm) i poklopite, a nakon toga tortu premažite i izvana. Malo deblji sloj (2-3 mm) marmelade možete ostaviti na vrhu torte. Ako Vam je marmelada pretvrda, možete je razmekšati zagrijavanjem u vrućoj vodi (u kojoj ste prije toga topili čokoladu). Čokoladna glazura: Margarin za glazuru prokuhajte na laganoj vatri, dok se ne prestane kipjeti, pa pustite par minuta da odstoji i da se malo ohladi. Margarin prelijte preko izribane ili izmrvljene čokolade i pjenjačom umješajte dok ne dobijete glatku masu. Ako se za vrijeme miješanja glazura počne stvrdnjavati, omekšavajte je na pari. Dobro je imati pripremljen lonac s vrućom vodom za čuvanje glazure dok premazujete tortu. Glazuru oprezno premažite preko torte vlažnim, širokim nožem ili slastičarskom špatulom. Glazuru možete napraviti i od 120 g gorke čokolade, 1 žlice ulja, 60 g margarina, 60 g šećera i 6 žlica vode. Čokoladu i margarin rastopite na pari i dobro pomješajte sve sastojke, pa premažite tortu. Zobeni keksi Sastojci: 2/3 šalice maslaca 2/3 šalice šećera i 1 žlica meda 2 jaja 1 i ½ šalice zobenih pahuljica 1 i ½ šalice brašna 1 žličica sode bikarbone ½ žličice soli 100 g brusnica šaka nasjeckanih oraha 2 - 3 rebra bijele čokolade, nasjeckane na kockice (može i tamna) vanilin šećer Priprema: Mikserom izradite pjenasto maslac i šećer. Dodajte jaja i med i dalje miksajte. Potom dodajte zobene pahuljice, izradite, stavite brašno koje ste pomiješali sa sodom bikarbonom, solju i vanilin šećerom. Na kraju miješajte brusnice, orahe i čokoladu. Smjesu ostavite u hladnjaku sat vremena. Vadite pomoću žlice za sladoled male hrpice koje ćete staviti na masni papir i malo spljošiti prstima kako bi se formirao okrugli keks (ne previše).Smjesa je malo mljackava, ali tako mora biti. Pazite da ostavite dovoljno razmaka između hrpica kako se keksi ne bi zalijepili jer se rašire za vrijeme pečenja (ostavite oko 2 prsta prostora između svakog keksa). Pecite na 180 stupnjeva 10-12 minuta ili dok na krajevima ne poprime lagano smećkastu boju. Kada kekse izvadite iz pećnice, ostavite ih 10-15 minuta u tepsiji da se ohlade. Čuvajte u limenoj kutiji, a između svakog sloja stavite masni papir da se ne bi zalijepili. Torta od sira (Cheesecake) Sastojci: 20 dkg keksa Lada (Kraš) 10 dkg maslaca 40 dkg sira Philadelphia 2 jaja 1 žlica limunovog soka 18 dkg šećera 1 vanilin šećer 2 kisela vrhnja, crvena Dukat 6 dkg šećera 1 vanilin šećer Priprema: Smrviti kekse, rastopiti maslac i zajedno izmijesiti. Smjesu staviti u kalup za tortu, ostaviti u hladnjaku da se stvrdne. Od 2 bjelanjka istući čvrst snijeg, u drugoj posudi žutanjke miješati sa šećerom, vanilin šećerom i limunovim sokom. Miksati 15 min i dodati sir. Na kraju lagano umiješati snijeg od bjelanjaka. Tu masu lagano izliti u kalup u kojem su keksi i peći 25 - 30 minuta na 180°C. Izvaditi iz pećnice i preliti masom 3. (vrhnje, šećer, vanilin šećer) koju smo prethodno dobro izmiješali, ponovno staviti u pećnicu i peći još oko 10 min. Pustiti da se ohladi i preko noći ostaviti u hladnjaku.

Stavite konzervu ananasa u zdjelu, procijedite. Umočite piškote u sok od ananasa iz konzerve pa slažite u zdjelu koju ste obložili folijom. Redajte red piškota, red vrhnja, red komadića ananasa, red piškota.... sve dok ne utrošite materijal (piškote moraju biti na vrhu). Tortu ostavite u hladnjak da prenoći. Sutradan je ukrasite šlagom i poslužite. piškote 1 konzerva ananasa u komadićima 4 dl kiselog vrhnja 7 žlica šećera 2 vrećice šlaga Priprema: Žlicom umiješati vrhnje i šećer (ne mikserom).

Zapečena povrtna palenta prelivena sirnim umakom Sastojci: palenta origano timijan 100 g graška 100 g kukuruza luk 2 paprike tikvica 2 rajčice vrhnje jaje 100 g feta sira Priprema: Palentu skuhajte prema uputstvima, ali u vodu dodajte još prstohvat origana i timijana. Narežite luk i popržite. Dodajte narezanu papriku, tikvicu i rajčice te grašak i kukuruz. Dinstajte oko 10-15 minuta, zasolite i popaprite prema ukusu. Namastite pleh, ulijte palentu i preko nje stavite dinstano povrće. Umutite vrhnje, jaje i feta sir te time prelijte palentu. Pecite oko 20 minuta na 220C. Krumpirske kiflice sa sirom Sastojci: svježi kvasac 1 jaje 150 g instant pire-krmpira 300 ml mlijeka 150 ml ulja soli i malo šećera 800 g fino prosijanog brašna sir za nadjev Priprema: U mlako mlijeko stavi kvasac i pusti da se otopi. Tijesto: Sve sastojke, zajedno s kvascem, redom staviti u mikser i ako treba dodati još mlijeka. Neka tijesto bude meko. Ostaviti na toplom da se digne pa ga podjeliti na tri jednaka dijela. Tijesto tanko razviti pa isjeći nožem 12 istih trokutova. Trokute nafilovati sirom pa zarolati u kiflice. Pustiti da se kiflice još malo dignu (ne treba previše, jer će se svejedno dići u pećnici) pa premazati žumanjkom. Posipati suncokretovim ili nekim drugim sjemenkama. Lepinja Sastojci: 1 svježi kvasac 1/2 šalice tople vode 3 šalice brašna 1 1/4 žličice soli 1 žličica šećera 1 šalica mlake vode Priprema: Rastopite kvasac u 1/2 šalice tople vode. Dodajte šećer i miješajte dok se ne otopi. Ostavite 10 - 15 min dok kvasac ne odreagira. U velikoj zdjeli umiješajte brašno i sol. U sredini napravite malo udubljenje i u njega istresite otopljeni kvasac. Polako dodajte 1 šalicu tople vode i miješajte drvenom kuhačom dok smjesa ne postane elastična. Tijesto istresite na pobrašnjenu površinu i ostavite da se odmara oko 10 - 15 min. Tijesto tada više neće biti zbijeno i elastično. Obložite veliku zdjelu sa slojem ulja i stavite tijesto u posudu. _Zatim okrenite tijesto naopačke, tako da cijelo bude nauljeno. Ostavite da se diže na toplome oko 3 sata, dok mu se veličina ne udvostruči. Kada se tijesto diglo, urolajte ga u "zmiju" i razrežite na 10 do 12 manjih dijelova. Dijelove uobličite u loptice i položite na pobrašnjenu površinu. Ostavite da odstoji još oko 10 min. Zagrijte pećnicu na 260°C, a žicu na koju ćete položiti tepsiju postavite na najnižu razinu (na dno pećnice). Tepsiju također prethodno zagrijte. Svaku kuglicu tijesta razvaljajte u krugove tako da čine lepinju. Svaka lepinja bi trebala biti 12 - 15 cm u promjeru, debljine oko 0,5 cm. Svaku lepinju pecite oko 5 minute, dok se ne napuhne. Zatim je okrenite i pecite je još oko 2 min. Ponovite postupak za svaku lepinju. Napomena: U kutiji za kruh lepinje mogu stajati oko tjedan dana. Pretplati se na: Postovi (Atom)
