Gooooooood morning HOP

Am back in the USA until the end of the month and therefore back online as well ... Missed you

As i travel I have a book in which the people I meet can write poems, stories or ... recepies ...

This is how I have learnt how to make proper ceviche, bake my own bread, make enchiladas in salsa verde etc ...

I figured we could all share receipies ?

SOL S BREAD (that is the name of the dfriend who gave me teh receipie)

1 CUP 1/4 OF LUKEWARM WATER
2 FULL SOUP SPOONS (ya know ... da big ones ... watcha call it again ?) of unrefined sugar OR honey OR sugar
2 FULL SOUP SPOONS (ditto) of dry grain yeast
3 cups of WHEAT (1 1/2 of white wheat and 1 1/2 or wholewheat)
1 full soup spoon of salt
6 full soup spoons of oil (3 of regular and 3 of olive oil)
sunflower seeds or olives or sundried tomatoes or anything you want the bread to taste like ...

Mix lukewarm water with sugar. then add yeast and cover to let raise for 5/6 minutes.

in teh meantime put wheat and salt in a large bowl as well as the oil (I would recommend seeing how the yeast part goes before adding the oil though cause yeast can be tricky !!)
Once yeast has raised (probably not the proper word ???) put everything togetehr and mix gently with wooden spoon for short time.

Cover and let rest for 15 minutes

Now is whenyou need musKles a bit ....
put the dough on a table where you have spread some white wheat first and start massage the dough (i know it is not teh right word I mean petrir in French or amasar in spanish ... anyone help ?) little by little yiou add some white wheat to it so it sticks less while you are "massaging" it in order to let air bubbles be trapped in it.
Massage for 10 minutes
Then add whatever seeds you wish and massage again for 5 minutes
Put back in large bowl and cover and let it raise for 45/60 minutes

it is now almost double of the volume...

cut in two pieces or three or ... give it teh shape you want and pre heat the oven (medium temperature) put bread on a plate for oven with a bit of wheat on it and let bake for 45/55 minutes

Bread is ready and then ... ENJOY

Shine on

Cast Iron Corn Bread

This is the recipe my mother taught me

Stir together:
1-1/2 cups corn meal
2 cups flour
2/3 cup sugar
2 tablespoons baking powder (don't forget this, my mom has a tendency to forget this and the whole thing comes out flat as hell!)

Mix in:
2 cups milk
2 eggs
1/4 cup canola oil

Spoon into a large, well seasoned, cast iron pan. cook at 350 for about 20 minutes, or until it starts to brown and a tester comes out clean. take out of oven and sprinkle sugar on the top!!

Fruit don't talk...they listen...and wait.

When it comes to food Bec, there is No. Such. Thing. as too late! wink
(I get that email every year, also making it clear that it isn't ever too late to laugh either! grin )

For those who enjoy fondue, this was a big hit recently....

On stove top mix over heat

16oz Honey Meade
16oz Orange Juice
A few table spoons honey to taste
minced garlic, rosemary, sage, thyme (I don't measure them, it's just to taste)

Bring to a boil.

meanwhile, plate a bunch of raw shrimp or small pieces of chicken.
Veggies are also good for this.

Pour mix from stove top pan to fondue pan.

Skewer your meat choice and allow it to cook in the fondue pot.
It comes out so yummy that we were running out of stuff to shove in it. wink

Chocolate Marshmallow Pie
Make the day before you wish to eat it.


Base:
1 x 200gr packet of tennis biscuits – crushed
100gr margarine


[*]Mix ingredients together and line dish

Filling:
250gr marshmallows
120gr dark chocolate – broken into pieces
190ml milk
Pinch of salt
5ml vanilla essence
250ml whipped cream

[*]Combine marshmallows, chocolate, milk and salt in the top of a double boiler
[*]Allow to melt, stirring occasionally
[*]Allow to cool completely
[*]Combine cream and vanilla essence and whip until soft peaks form
[*]Fold gently into the chocolate marshmallow mix
[*]Pour into dish with biscuit base
[*]Allow to set overnight

Note from Ash3s – You don’t need to make the biscuit base. I normally serve it in small, heart-shaped ramekins with a dollop of cream on top. You can also substitute the dark chocolate with any other chocolate that will melt easily. Hazelnut chocolate is a favourite of mine, or you can use a peppermint chocolate for a variation.

Enjoy!

OMG.
I'm pretty sure that would kill me, because I'd eat it all in one go.

Ask me about flow, and prepare to listen for the rest of your life, or tell me to stop talking eventually...

All in one go? Yes, it possibly could kill you... But, at least it would be a happy death tongue2

Smashed chicken:

Take a chicken breast fillet per person. Flatten it (with a hammer, or between two plate, or by riding over it with a unicycle, or whatever).
Mix up some mayonnaise and hot mustard (English or German are both good). Coat the chicken.
Sprinkle with grated cheese.
Bake until chicken is done.

Nom it all.

Ooooo, that sounds nice. And reminds me of an Indian version of it.

Mix plain greek (yes, I did say Indian version) yoghurt with a heaped teaspoon of chicken tikka paste. Add a sprinkle of salt. Marinade your chicken overnight in the fridge, in the yoghurt mix.

Grill / bake until chicken is done smile

Chicken Adobo:
Tangy, sweet and very garlicky with a strong black pepper kick. Very simple Filipino food.

3 lbs. boneless chicken thighs cut into chunks
8 cloves of garlic finely chopped (more or less according to taste)
1 cup cane vinegar (or rice wine vinegar)
1 cup water
1/4 cup white sugar
black pepper and salt to taste
oil

In a large skillet warm the oil on medium heat and saute the garlic until golden. Add the chicken and season with salt and pepper (be generous with the pepper, it's supposed to be spicy!) Add the vinegar, water and sugar. Bring to a boil briefly then reduce to simmer. Cook until the chicken is done and most of the water is evaporated.

Serve as is on rice or pasta. Also good in tortillas or pita bread in a wrap
