Login to cooktime24 in order to save your favorite recipes If you have not registered yet, register now! By 8 am yesterday morning, my kitchen already looked like this. Because I waited until Christmas Eve eve to do all of my holiday baking, I had a marathon session in the kitchen yesterday. I absolutely love spending the entire day baking, especially when it involves whipping up treats to share with others. I made quite a few new recipes, but rather than post about each of them over the next week (I figure you're probably sugared out by now), I decided to share some of photos I took over the course of the day (thanks iphone!) and point you in the direction of the recipe in case you see anything you want to try. The day started with a batch of biscotti . These were packed with mini chocolate chips, toasted almonds and coconut, and even though I don't like nuts, I nibbled on more than my fair share of the ends/scrap pieces. Highly recommend! (You can see the biscotti in the kitchen shot above.) Continuing my obsession with gingerbread this holiday season - gingerbread granola ! Loved this, and it's relatively healthy with just a few tablespoons of canola oil and the only sugar coming from the molasses. I knew I wanted to make fudge this year but wasn't sure what kind. After seeing Dara's chocolate nutella fudge on Maria's site recently, it quickly became the one. This is beyond easy to make - no candy thermometer required - and Shane loved it (and he's not even a Nutella fan). Dara sprinkled hers with sea salt, and though I love the salty/sweet combo, I decided to play it safe and skip the salt since I was gifting the fudge. Soft and Chewy Molasses Spice Cookies. A tried and true favorite here. They sort of remind me of a Christmas-y version of chocolate crinkle cookies, and that's a very good thing. My very first fruitcake. Wouldn't necessarily be my first choice when it comes to holiday baking, but it was pretty much the only thing my step-father told me he wanted for Christmas so I was happy to oblige. That dried fruit was soaked in a ton of dark rum before being baked into the cake. More rum was brushed over the loaf when it emerged from the oven. I didn't tase it since it was a gift, but I'll report back. Something tells me it'll be boozy :) A cheesecake project that's still in the works (that's homemade peppermint bark on top of the batter). If it turns out, I'll share it with you on Monday! I spent my Friday night in front of the tv watching the Bruins (Marchand hat trick - woo!) and dipping homemade peppermint marshmallows in chocolate. I even broke out the real camera to take a few good pictures for you :) Homemade marshmallows have become one of my go-to holiday gifts. They're not a ton of work, and they keep for weeks so if you want to get ahead, they're perfect. Plus, who wouldn't love to stick one of these in a big mug of hot chocolate this winter? Wishing you all a very happy holiday season! :) Homemade Peppermint Marshmallows adapted from Alton Brown (inspired by My Kitchen Addiction ) 3 packages unflavored gelatin 1 cup ice cold water, divided 12 ounces (1 1/2 cups) sugar 1 cup light corn syrup 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar 1/4 cup cornstarch nonstick cooking spray 12 oz semisweet or bittersweet chocolate 1 1/2 teaspoons vegetable or canola oil crushed candy canes Add 1/2 cup of the water to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Sprinkle the gelatin over the water and set aside. Add the remaining 1/2 cup water, the sugar, corn syrup and salt to a medium saucepan. Cover and set over medium high heat. Cook for 3-4 minutes (no need to stir), then uncover and continue cooking (without stirring) until the mixture reaches 240 F on a candy thermometer. Remove the pan from the heat. Turn the mixer on low, and slowly pour the sugar syrup down the side of the bowl into the gelatin mixture. Once it's all added, increase the mixer to medium high and beat until the mixture is thick and the outside of the bowl is just lukewarm, about 8-12 minutes. Add the extracts during the last minute of beating. Meanwhile, combine the confectioners' sugar and cornstarch in a small bowl. Spray a 13x9 metal pan with nonstick cooking spray then coat the bottom and sides with the cornstarch mixture. Reserve the leftover cornstarch mixture for dusting the marshmallows later. When the marshmallow mixture has finished beating, pour it into the prepared pan. Coat a rubber spatula with nonstick cooking spray and use it to spread the marshmallow in an even layer (you can also use damp fingertips to spread it into the corner if that's easier for you). Dust the top of the marshmallows with some of the remaining cornstarch mixture. Set the marshmallows aside (uncovered) for at least 4 hours, or up to overnight. Turn the marshmallows onto a cutting board and use a pizza wheel (either sprayed with cooking spray or well dusted with the cornstarch mixture) to cut them into small squares. Dust the sides of all of the marshmallows with the cornstarch mixture (to keep them from sticking together). Add the chocolate and vegetable oil to a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second bursts at 50% power, stirring in between each interval, until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Dip one end of each marshmallow in the chocolate then sprinkle with the crushed candy cane pieces. Transfer to a sheet of wax paper and set aside until the chocolate has set. Store the marshmallows in an airtight container for 2-3 weeks. Source: traceysculinaryadventures.blogspot.com From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite... I'll be featuring several Easter breads over the next few weeks, and I thought this would be a good recipe with which to begin the series. It's the easiest of the lot to make and it will be doing double duty as a table prize and centerpiece at an upcoming church luncheon. Those of you who are long-term readers of One Perfect Bite probably remember the Flower Pot Bread that was used in the same way. This year, however, I was asked to find a bread that was edible as well as decorative. I found this recipe at Allrecipes and it was just what I was looking for. Fortunately, this will be a group effort and my responsibility is limited to demonstrating how the bread is made. The real work will be done by a dozen other gals who will actually bake the coffee rings. I don't anticipate there will be any problems if the recipe instructions are followed, but this bread differs from some of the others that are floating around. The eggs that are inserted into the dough are not cooked prior to baking. That means they must be carefully handled when they are dyed. This braid is especially attractive when the eggs are intensely colored, but pale or brightly hued, they must be thoroughly dry before they are inserted into the dough. Moisture will cause them to bleed and spoil the appearance of the bread. Alton Brown has a recipe in which eggs are baked rather than boiled or steamed. I'm including a link to it, here , because it's a technique you might want to use with your Easter eggs. This bread is best served freshly made but it will keep a day or so if you intercept the eggs before serving. Here's the recipe. Braided Easter Egg Bread ...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite courtesy of Allrecipes.com Ingredients: 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour, divided 1/4 cup white sugar 1 teaspoon salt 2-1/4 teaspoons (1 package) active dry yeast 2/3 cup milk 2 tablespoons butter 2 eggs 4 to 5 uncooked eggs, dyed and thoroughly dried 2 tablespoons butter, melted Directions: 1) Combine 1 cup flour, sugar,salt and yeast in a large bowl. Mix well. 2) Combine milk and butter in a small saucepan and heat until milk is warm and butter is softened but not melted. 3) Gradually add liquid mixture to flour mixture, stirring constantly. Beat in eggs and 1/2 cup of reserved flour. Add remaining 1 cup flour in two parts, stirring well after each addition. When dough comes together turn onto a floured surface and knead until dough is smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. 4) Lightly oil a large bowl, place dough in bowl and turn to coat all surfaces with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour. 5) Deflate dough and turn it out on a lightly floured surface. Divide dough into two equal size rounds; cover and let rest for 10 minutes. Roll each round into a long rope about 36 inches long and 1-1/2 inches thick. Use ropes to form a loosely braided ring, with spaces to insert eggs. Seal ends of ring and transfer to a lightly buttered baking sheet. Use fingers to slide eggs between braids of dough. Cover loosely with a damp towel and let rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 45 minutes. 6) Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees F. When dough has doubled in size, brush with melted butter and bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until golden brown. Let sit for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool. Yield: 1 ring. One Year Ago Today: TapenadeTwo Ways - Black and Green Olive Spreads Two Years Ago Today: Avgolemono - Greek Lemon Chicken SoupSource: oneperfectbite.blogspot.com 1 (14 -16 lb) frozen young whole turkey 1 Combine all brine ingredients, except ice water, in a stockpot, and bring to a boil. Stir to dissolve solids, then remove from heat, cool to room temperature, and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled. 2 Early on the day of cooking, (or late the night before) combine the brine and ice water in a clean 5-gallon bucket or 20-quart stock pot. (If you make the brine the same day you need to use it, just use a 7 lb bag of ice and 2 cups of cold water to chill it down fast.). 3 Place thawed turkey breast side down in brine, cover, and refrigerate or set in cool area (like a basement) for 6 hours. Turn turkey over once, half way through brining. If not refrigerated, add a couple pounds more ice halfway through to keep it good and cold. 4 A few minutes before roasting, heat oven to 500 degrees. Combine the apple, onion, cinnamon stick, and cup of water in a microwave safe dish and microwave on high for 5 minutes. 5 Remove bird from brine and rinse inside and out with cold water. Discard brine. 6 Place bird on roasting rack inside wide, low pan and pat dry with paper towels. Add steeped aromatics to cavity along with rosemary, sage, oregano, lemon and orange. Tuck wings under breasts and coat whole bird liberally with canola (or other neutral) oil. 7 Roast on lowest level of the oven at 500 degrees F. for 30 minutes. Remove from oven, pour in 3 cups of broth and scrape up any fond (browned bits) on the bottom of the pan. Cover breast with double layer of aluminum foil, insert probe thermometer into thickest part of the breast and return to oven, reducing temperature to 350 degrees F. After 45 minutes, add 1 more cup of broth. Set thermometer alarm (if available) to 161 degrees. A 14 to 16 pound bird should require a total of 2 to 2 1/2 hours of roasting. Let turkey rest, loosely covered for 15-30 minutes before carving. 8 For the gravy, strain the turkey pan juices from the roasting pan through a sieve and into a 4-cup glass measuring cup; discard the solids. Spoon off the fat from atop the pan juices. Add enough chicken broth, about 1 to 2 cups, to the pan juices to measure 4 cups total. Melt the butter in a heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the flour and whisk for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in the broth. Simmer until the gravy thickens slightly, whisking often, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Serve the turkey with the gravy.

Cook until the fat renders and the bacon is crispy. Transfer bacon to a paper-towel lined plate. 2 Add onion, salt and pepper to fat in pot. Place star anise and cloves in a small cotton spice bag (or wrap in cheesecloth); lay the flat of a chef's knife across the spices and smash your fist on the blade to crack them (or use a mallet). Add the spice bag to the pot as well. Cook over low heat until onions break down and caramelize, about 45 minutes, stirring every few minutes. 3 Place a 4 qt saute pan over high heat and add 1 tbsp olive oil. When oil begins to emit wisps of smoke, add beef and pork. Stir constantly for 4-5 minutes until the meat is brown and broken into small chunks. Transfer to a colander set over a bowl. Return the saute pan to the high heat. 4 Deglaze saute pan with 1/2 cup white wine, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. When wine has reduced by half, turn off the heat. 5 When onions are mahogany brown, add celery and minced garlic. Cook over low heat for 30 minutes, until intensely fragrant. Remove and discard the spice bag. 6 Add the meat and reduced wine to Dutch oven. Add another 1/2 cup white wine, evaporated milk and beef broth. Add porcinis. Cook very slowly over low heat, covered, for 3 hours, stirring every 30 minutes. 7 Add 1 tbsp olive oil to saute pan and heat until shimmering over medium heat. Add sliced garlic and saute until fragrant, 30-45 seconds. Add tomatoes (with any juice in the cans), along with oregano, marjoram and basil. Cook over medium heat until most of the liquid evaporates, 25-30 minutes. 8 Reduce heat to low and add tomato paste, ketchup, sherry vinegar, Worcestershire sauce and 1/4 cup white wine. Simmer 30 minutes. 9 Add 1 tbsp olive oil to tomatoes and turn heat up to medium high. Stir vigorously and constantly for 2-3 minutes. Add tomatoes to meat mixture. Continue to simmer over low heat, uncovered, while preparing pasta. 10 Bring 4 quarts of water to a boil in a deep, narrow pot. Add salt. Add spaghetti when water is at a rolling boil. Stir for a few minutes to minimize sticking, then reduce heat to keep a steady but not violent boil. Start checking after 5 minutes; the pasta should be not-quite al dente; there should still be a little crunch in the center. Drain the pasta and add to the meat sauce, along with parmesan cheese. Cook another 4-5 minutes until pasta is al dente. Source: food.com 1/2 cup peanut oil or 1/2 cup vegetable oil 1 lb linguine 4 -5 chicken breasts 2 -3 eggs 1 cup progresso Italian seasoned breadcrumbs 1 large dashes kosher salt 1/4 teaspoon pepper 1/2 cup white wine 1/2 cup pasta water (or more, depending on how saucy you like) 2 tablespoons butter 1/2 cup butter 1/2 chicken bouillon cube (optional) 4 -5 garlic cloves 4 -5 teaspoons lemon juice parmesan cheese 1 Get your ingredients ready to go! Put the butter somewhere to soften, like a sunny window. 2 Prep your cheese by shredding it or grating it. If you use a container cheese like Kraft, get that out. 3 Place 1/2 a cup of white wine in a 1 cup (like the measuring cup from Pyrex.). 4 Get a ramekin/small bowl and mince 4-5 cloves of garlic into it. Add a teaspoon of lemon juice for every clove added. Set this off to the side with the white wine. 5 Now prep your breading station. Get two bowls out. Beat 2-3 eggs vigorously in one bowl. In the other, combine your bread crumbs with the salt and pepper. 6 Fill your pasta pot full of water, put it on a back burner, and turn the heat on and don't salt the water until you're ready to throw the pasta in the pot. 7 Get your largest frying pan and add the oil. Don't turn on the heat yet. 8 Now that everything is ready, you can prep the chicken while minimizing the risk of cross contamination. I am fed up with cutting chicken with a knife for this recipe. I just use some good kitchen-quality scissors. Cut away any discolored, fatty or bloody pieces. Then cut the chicken in 1/2 inch strips. Uniformity is important, so try to make the pieces the same size for even cooking. 9 Breading: Put a handful of the raw chicken strips/pieces into the egg. Take a couple of pieces out and roll them in your bread crumb mixture. Set them on some wax paper or better still, one of those thin and flexible cutting sheets. Do this until all the chicken is evenly breaded and ready for frying. 10 Turn on the oil to 7 (on a scale from 1-9.) I find that Hi-Medium is the perfect temperature for this. 11 Salt the almost boiling pasta water with about 2-3 tablespoons kosher salt. Right after, put your colander/strainer in the sink so it's there when you need it. 12 The hardest parts are done! But before you put one piece of chicken in that oil, make sure you have a place to put it once it is done. I learned from Alton Brown to avoid setting fried chicken on a paper towel to blot away the excess oil. Instead, line the counter with a few paper towels and place a cooling rack on top of the towels to allow the fat to drip off. Your chicken will be much less greasy as a result. 13 Check the oil to see if it sizzles by throwing a drop of water on it. When it's sizzling, add a single layer of the breaded chicken pieces. They should sizzle on contact. The original recipe says to cook the meat for 30 seconds on both sides, but my experience has been roughly 3 minutes per side. Just use your best judgment and avoid undercooking any of the chicken. All it takes is one piece of undercooked chicken to ruin the whole night. Use some tongs to help yourself turn the chicken. 14 Place the cooked pieces on the cooling rack. 15 Put your pasta in the water once it's boiling and set your timer. 16 Once all of the chicken is one the cooling rack, reduce the heat from 7 to 3 or 4. Take a bunch of paper towels and sweep/wipe the pan clean quickly with some paper towels over the garbage can. The pan is still super hot, so be careful. Put the pan right back on the burner. 17 Add a ladle or two of the starchy pasta water to the cup you set aside with white wine in it. 18 The pan might be smoking a bit, but it will stop when you add the wine and water and the liquid will turn a brown color. This is deglazing the pan and it adds a lot of flavor. If you are the type that thinks everything is flavorless and dull, throw half a bouillon cube into the pan and allow it to dissolve. 19 Add the stick of butter to the frying pan. After it's all dissolved and clear, add the lemon and garlic to the wine and butter sauce. 20 Once the pasta is the tenderness you prefer, turn off the burner, strain the pasta quickly in the colander and return it to the pot with 2 tablespoons of butter. You can turn up the heat a bit to aid melting. I like to add a bunch of Parmesan here, like a cup of it. This is a matter of your taste. If you typically don't like a lot of cheese on your pasta, wait until dinner is on the table and use it as needed. 21 Add the chicken back to the frying pan with the sauce. Mix well, and be careful not to over cook the chicken. 22 Add the chicken to the pot with the butter and noodles and mix gently. Dinner is done.

While shrimp are brining, place tomatoes, chili sauce, horseradish, sugar, pepper, and salt in food processor and blend until smooth. Refrigerate cocktail sauce until ready to serve. 2 Place a baking sheet or broiler pan under oven broiler and preheat for 5 minutes. Rinse the shrimp under cold water and dry on paper towels. In a large bowl, toss shrimp with olive oil and sprinkle with Old Bay seasoning, if desired. 3 Place shrimp onto a sizzling sheet pan and return to broiler immediately. After 2 minutes, turn the shrimp with a pair of tongs. Return the shrimp to broiler for 1 minute. Transfer to a cold cookie sheet. Refrigerate immediately. Source: food.com 1 lb Tomato 9 cups low sodium chicken broth 3 cups short-grain rice 20 saffron strands 2 sprigs rosemary , leaves stripped from sprigs 3 teaspoons kosher salt , divided 1 teaspoon smoked paprika 2 tablespoons olive oil 3 lbs chicken quarters 1/2 lb fresh green beans , trimmed and halved 1 cup red bell pepper , chopped 1/2 cup green bell pepper , chopped 2 garlic cloves , minced 1 Spritz 4 to 5 pieces of newspaper with vegetable oil and put in the bottom of a charcoal chimney starter. Fill the chimney with half of the charcoal and light the newspaper. 2 When the charcoal is lightly covered with gray ash, carefully pour onto the bottom grate of a kettle grill and spread evenly. Top with the remaining unlit charcoal, spreading evenly so as not to suffocate the lit charcoal. Set the second grate in the kettle and cover until ready to cook. 3 Meanwhile, halve the tomatoes and remove the seeds to a fine mesh strainer set over a small bowl to catch the juice. Grate the seeded halves on the large hole side of a box grater and discard the skins. Combine the reserved juice and grated tomato and set aside. 4 Warm the chicken broth in a kettle or 4-quart saucepan over high heat until it reaches 200 degrees F. Remove the broth from the heat and cover to keep warm. 5 Combine the rice, saffron, rosemary, 1 teaspoon of the salt, and paprika in a small mixing bowl. 6 Heat the olive oil in the paella pan on the prepared grill. Season the chicken on all sides with the remaining 2 teaspoons of salt. Once the olive oil shimmers, add the chicken and cook until golden brown on both sides, approximately 5 to 6 minutes per side. Move the chicken to the outer edges of the pan. Add the green beans, red bell pepper, green bell pepper and garlic to the center of the pan and cook until they begin to soften and darken in color, approximately 2 to 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes and their juice and cook until most of the liquid has dissipated and the tomatoes thicken and darken, approximately 4 to 5 minutes. 7 Add the rice mixture to the center of the pan and cook, stirring constantly for 1 minute. 8 Redistribute the chicken pieces on top of the rice. Add 4 cups of the warm chicken broth and stir to distribute the rice evenly in the pan, making sure that all rice is completely submerged in liquid. From this point forward do not stir the paella. 9 After 8 to 9 minutes, when all of the liquid is absorbed and the rice appears dry, add an additional 4 cups of broth. Continue to cook without stirring, until the liquid is absorbed, about 8 to 9 minutes. The rice should be firm to the bite and the grains have a tiny white dot in the center. Add the remaining cup of broth as needed, until the rice is cooked through. Watch the fire to make sure it is heating evenly and adjust the pan to prevent uneven cooking. 10 Remove the pan from the heat, cover with a tea towel and rest for 15 minutes before serving.

Place over medium-high heat until boiling, reduce to a simmer, and maintain for 3 minutes. Turn off heat and add ice. 2 Cut pork butt into 2" cubes. Place in a large zip top bag. When the brine is cool, pour it in as well. Press out as much air as possible and seal the bag. Refrigerate for a minimum of 3 days, turning bag a couple of times a day. 3 Keeps 2 weeks in the refrigerator; after that, drain and freeze. Note that this is NOT edible as is; it still has to be cooked!

Add oil and heat until shimmering. Add onion, bell pepper and celery. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until onion and celery are soft and translucent, 6-8 minutes. Add garlic, pickled pork, bay leaves, dried thyme, cayenne pepper, hot sauce and beans. Add water. Turn up to high and heat until boiling, stirring occasionally, 6-8 minutes. 2 Reduce heat to maintain a strong simmer. Cover tightly and cook 90 minutes, stirring every 30 minutes. Remove the lid and cook, uncovered, 30-40 minutes longer, maintaining a strong simmer. If you want your sauce a bit thicker and more gravy-like, use a potato masher to crush some of the beans. Remove bay leaves. 3 Bring 3 cups water to a full rolling boil. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, melt butter over high heat. When foaming subsides and butter begins to brown, add rice and salt.

LIBANONSKI PUDING OD RIŽE I PISTACIJA( može i orah ili lješnjak) SASTOJCI: 4 šalice mlijeka 10-12 čajnih žličica šećera (ili meda) ½ šalice riže 2-4 žlice gustina 2 čajne žličice vode od narančinog cvijeta Smrvljeni pistacio za dekoraciju(orah ili lješnjak) PRIPREMA: Isperite rižu pa pustite da se posuši. 2.Kuhati mlijeko sa šećerom(ili medom) i rižom na laganoj vatri oko 15 minuta ili dok se riža ne smekša, svih 15 minuta treba neprestalno miješati. Kako se riža smekšava, dodajte vodicu od narančinog cvijeta i gustin, miješati još 5 minuta ili dok se puding ne stvrdne.

U umak gdje se piletina kuhala dodati opranu rižu, pirjati oko 2-3 minute zatim zaliti sa vodom da prekrije rižu. Kuhati na laganoj vatri dok riža omekša i upije svu tekućinu, dobijete nesto kao rižoto. Ako je potrebno dodavati ekstra vode tokom kuhanja. Na pola kuhanja probajte ako treba dodati još soli. Zadnjih 5 minuta kuhanja riže dodati sok od limuna i maslac, promiješati i maknuti sa štednjaka. U malo maslinovog ulja umiješati ostatak cimeta i sa time premazati pileća prsa. Staviti u pećnicu da se zapeče par minuta , treba dobiti tamnu boju. Pećnica postaviti na najvišu temperaturu i ostaviti da se malo zapeče, pazite nemojte predugo da se piletina ne osuši. Nakon toga ste gotovi I na Vama je sada samo da uživate u okusima ovog vrhunskog jela. PRŽENA PILETINA S KUSKUSOM Sastojci: 1/2 kg ili 1 pakovanje pilećih prsa, 3 žlice soya sos-a, 3 žlice ulja, 2-3 mrkve, 2 paprike (zelena i crvena ako imate), 2-3 šake Žutih mahuna smrznutih Podravka, 1 šalica kus-kusa, prstohvat soli, 4 dcl vode, 1 oveću glavicu crvenog luka. Priprema: Piletinu narežite na trake te na manje komadiće (veličina zalogaja), narezanu piletinu stavimo u posudu te prelijemo soya sosom i stavimo u frižider dok pripremamo ostale sastojke. Očistimo i narežemo povrće (na manje komade). U oveću tavicu ili sl. stavimo ulje, pričekamo malo da se zagrije te frknemo piletinu i pržimo dok ne dobije zapečeni izgled (5-10 min). Kada je piletina dobila traženi izgled izvadimo je van (privremeno – na tanjur) te u tavicu stavimo luk. Kada je luk poprimio staklasti izgled dodamo preostalo povrće i sol te par minuta pirjamo. U povrće dodamo vodu (2dcl) i poklopimo (povremeno miješajući). U međuvremenu stavimo 2 dcl vode u posebni lončić da prokuha. u posebnu posudu stavimo šalicu kuskusa te ga prelijemo sa prokuhanom vodom (2 dcl) i ostavimo 5-10 min da nabubri. Kada je povrće omekšalo u njega stavimo kuskus (koji je trebao upiti svu vodu) . Sve promiješamo i po želji dodamo još soli ili soya sosa. Sada povrću i kuskusu dodamo prženu piletinu i poslužimo. KEKSIĆI KARDAMOM/BADEM Sastojci: 140 g brašna ,2 žličice praška za pecivo, prstohvat soli, 170 g mljevenih badema ,1 žlica sjemenki kardamoma (ili 1/2 žličice mljevenog) ,170 g šećera,1 žličica ruma ,2 jaja + 1 bjelanjak . Priprema: Pećnicu ugrijti na 160*, brašno pomiješati s praškom za pecivo, solju, šećerom (od kojeg ste odvojili 2 žlice), mljevenim bademima i zdrobljenim sjemenčicama kardamoma. Dodajte rum i 2 umućena jaja pa zamijesite tijesto. Oblikujte ga u valjak, lagano pritisnite da izravnate gornji dio pa položite na pleh, na papir za pečenje. Pecite 30 min.

Šnitice vratite u pećnicu (poslagane po papiru za pečenje) i pecite još 15-20 min. Ovi keksići osvajaju divnom egzotičnom notom, a jednom kad vam se kardamom svidi, htjet ćete ga upotrijebiti opet i opet… MLIJEKO OD BADEMA Sastojci: 100 g neoljuštenih badema, 1 L vode, 3-4 datulje. Priprema: Bademe namočimo u vodi preko noći, namakanje deaktivira lagano toksične enzime iz opne – inhibitore probave, dobro namočene bademe nije potrebno ljuštiti, namočene bademe isperemo a vodu od namakanja bacamo. Takve ih stavimo u blender dodamo vode i nekoliko datulja i dobili smo izvrsno domaće bademovo mlijeko koje može biti zamjena za kravlje, a može i stajati do 3 dana u hladnjaku (1 šalica ima oko 70 kalorija). ENERGETSKE KUGLICE Sastojci: 1 šalica badema, 1 šalica datulja, mogu se dodati i grožđice, smokve ili neko drugo voće, mljeveni kokos, čokolada Priprema: jednu šalicu badema izmeljemo u blenderu, ne skroz do praha ali da bude sitno, nakon toga dodajemo jednu šalicu datulja iz kojih smo predhodno izvadili koštice i miksamo dok se ne dobije smjesa koja se može oblikovati rukama u oblik kuglica koje nakon toga stavljamo u frižider. Nakon toga preostaje nam da uživamo u poslastici za podizanje energije i raspoloženja. Zahvaljujemo Bernardi Valković što je podijelila ovaj recept sa nama. PUNJENE DATULJE PRELIVENE ČOKOLADOM SASTOJCI: 1 paket datulja 20-tak četvrtina oraha 10 dag čokolade 1 žlica ulja PRIPREMA Zarezati datulje po duljini, samo s jedne strane i izvaditi im košticu. Umjesto koštice staviti četvrtinu oraha (ili koliko stane). Stisnuti datulju oko otvora de se zatvori. Rastopiti čokoladu s uljem i umakati jednu po jednu datulju. Pustiti da se čokolada stvrdne. RIŽA S LEĆOM SASTOJCI: 50 g basmati riže 50 g crvene leće 25 g maslaca 1 maleni nasjeckan luk prstohvat zgnječenog svježeg đumbira 1,25 ml (1/4 čajne žlice) zgnječenog češnjaka maleni štapić cimeta 2 klinčića 1 lovorov list 1,25 ml (1/4 čajne žlice) mljevenog korijandra prstohvat mljevene kurkume prstohvat svježe mljevene morske soli 1 maleni zeleni čili, raspolovljen po duljini PRIPREMA: Dobro operite rižu i leću u hladnoj vodi. Ocijedite. Ocijeđenu rižu i leću stavite u zdjelu i pokrijte s 200 ml tople vode. Namačite 30 minuta, a zatim dobro ocijedite, ali spremite vodu od namakanja. Zagrijte maslac u posudi. Dodajte luk i 2 – 3 minute pržite na laganoj vatri, miješajući. Dodajte đumbir, češnjak, cimet, klinčiće i lovorov list, te nastavite pirjati još 1 minutu. U posudu stavite rižu i leću, a zatim dodajte korijandar, kurkumu, sol i čili. Miješajte nad vatrom oko 2-3 minute, dok se riža i leća ravnomjerno ne uvaljaju u maslac. U mješavinu izlijte spremljenu vodu od namakanja i pustite da provri. Smanjite temperaturu i čvrstim poklopcem pokrijte posudu. Kuhajte na laganoj vatri 8-10 minuta, bez miješanja, ili dok riža posve ne upije vodu. Promiješajte, izvadite i bacite čili, te odmah poslužite. HUMUS(NAMAZ OD SLANUTKA) SASTOJCI: 2 žlice sezama,100 ml vode u kojoj se kuhao slanutak, 200 g kuhanog slanutka,2-3 žlice limunova soka, 2 češnja češnjaka,50 ml maslinova ulja,1 žlica nasjeckanog peršina,½ žličice mljevenog papra. PRIPREMA: Sezam kratko popecite u tavi bez masnoće pa pola količine sameljite u električnoj sjeckalici. Vodu od slanutka, u koju ste dodali malo soli, kratko prokuhajte i malo ohladite. Slanutak, zajedno s vodom, limunovim sokom i češnjakom, usitnite u električnoj sjeckalici da dobijete glatku masu. Umiješajte maslinovo ulje, peršin, papar i mljeveni sezam. Pripremljeni namaz stavite u hladnjak i ostavite da se dobro ohladi. DOLME SASTOJCI: Teglica listova vinove loze u slanoj vodi,3 šalice riže, 1kg mljevenog mesa(masnijeg), sirup od šipka, 6 pomidora, peršin, celer, 2 crvena luka, 5 režnjeva češnjaka, pasata, sirup od šipka, sol, papar I kumin. PRIPREMA: Oprati listove vinove loze I namakati ih u vodi dva sata prije punjenja, kako bi se temeljito isprala slana voda. Rižu namakati pola sata, oprati I iscjediti pa staviti u posudu. Dodati sitno isjeckani crveni luk, sitno nasjeckani češnjak, peršin, celer,dva sitno narezana paradajza I mljeveno meso. Dodati, sol papar I kumin, te sve fino promješati. Napuniti listove vinove loze sa smjesom. Prije slaganja napunjenih listova vinove loze u lonac, na dno možete, po želji, postaviti rebra(junjeća, teleća, janjeća) I sviježi bob. Posložimo napunjene vinove loze u lonac (na rebra I bob). Potrebno je još posebno napraviti preljev, tako da u mikser postavimo 4 paradajza, sirup od šipka I pasatu, malo posolimo I prelijemo po napunjenim listovima vinove loze. Prije početka kuhanja treba još doliti vode, tako da voda prelazi sastav lonca za 10 cm. Na lonac staviti keramički tanjur I nešto teže na njega kako dolme nebi “plesale”. Tako poklopljeno kuhati odprilike sat vremena na laganoj vatri, nakon toga maknuti keramički tanjur I kuhati na laganoj vatri još pola sata uz povremeno drmanje lonca. Nakon toga posao je gotov I možemo poslužiti te uživati u ukusnom jelu. COUS COUS S POVRĆEM SASTOJCI (za 4-6 osoba): 200 g patlidžana 1 žličica svježe metvice sol 500 ml vode 150 g cous-cousa 150 g cherry rajčica 100 g mrkve 4 žlice sezamova ulja 250 g tofua 2 češnja češnjaka 100 g luka PRIPREMA: U većoj tavi na zagrijanom ulju popecite nasjeckani luk i češnjak. Dodajte mrkvu narezanu na kolutiće, podlijte s malo vode i kratko pirjajte. Nakon toga dodajte oprane patlidžane i tikvice narezane na kockice, a paprike na rezance. Pospite Vegetom, metvicom i pirjajte na laganoj vatri 10-ak minuta. Dodajte tofu narezan na kockice, cherry rajčice i nastavite pirjati još 10-ak minuta. Cous-cous stavite u kipuću, posoljenu vodu, kuhajte 3-4 minute, ocijedite i dodajte povrću. PATLIDŽAN U TAHINI UMAKU ( SEZAMOVA MAST) Patlidzan ogulite na trakice (jedan potez ogulite, drugi ostavite); nakon toga izrezite patlidzan na ploske debljine prsta (moze i malo deblje). Ako ima sjemenke, odstranite ih posto su gorke. Ploske patlidzana stavite u teglu sa puno soli (neka ih sol prekrije) i drzite ih tako 30-45min kako bi patlidzan dehidrirao. Nakon toga ih dobro isperite u vodi i iscijedite rukom. Patlidzan tada poprzite na grill tavi ili na rostilju te ga prebacite u posebnu teglu i zalijte tahini umakom i zacinite s malo balzamika. Red patlidzana, red tahine. Uz patlidzan, preporuca se i drugo povrce, tako da uz patlidzan mozete poprziti i papriku, rajcicu… (isto to povrce se moze posluziti i sirovo s patlidzanom). Na kraju mozete dodati malo kiselih maslina i/ili svjezeg korijandera. KOFTA S TAHINIJEM SASTOJCI: 1/2 kg mljevenog mesa (govedina) 5 krumpira 2 šalice grčkog jogurta 1/3 šalice limunovog soka 1 šalica vode 1 žlica mljevenog češnjaka 2 žličice soli 1/2 šalice tahini 1/2 šalice mljevenog luka 1 žlica 7 arapskih začina 1/2 šalice badema 1 žlica maslinovog ulja peršin PRIPREMA: Grčki jogurt – ako ga ne nađete u dućanu postoji više načina kako ga možete napraviti sami ali najlakše je uzeti čvrsti jogurt, u cjediljku staviti filter za kavu ili gazu i na to izvrnuti jogurt. Pustiti ga preko noći da se ocijedi u frižideru. Dobro pomiješati meso, 1 žličicu soli, 7 začina i luk. Rastegnuti meso u okruglu posudu i na kraju prstima napraviti rupe po cijeloj površini. Krumpir narezati na ploške i premazati ga maslinovim uljem i malo soli. Pekao sam ga u vrećici za pečenje kako se ne bi isušio. Meso i krumpir peći odvojeno 25 min. na 200°C Posebno pomiješati grčki jogurt, tahini, pola žličice soli, češnjak, limunov sok i vodu. Smjesa ne bi trebala biti gusta. Pomiješati i pirjati 5 min. Poslagati krumpir po cijelo površini mesa i zaliti sa pirjanom smjesom (smjesa treba lako pokriti cijelo meso ispod krumpira), staviti u pećnicu na dodatnih 20 min na 200°C. Kad izvadimo jelo iz pećnice dodati po površini peršin i bademe koje smo prethodno malo zapržili na maslinovom ulju.
