Filling for Vegetarian Hallacas (Monica)

Ingredients
2 medium size yellow onions
2 medium-to-large size eggplants diced in ¾” each cubes
1 cup of green olives cut in half
1 cup of black olives cut in half
¼ cup of capers (optional)
2 1/2 cups of previously cooked garbanzo beans
1 spoon of tomato paste
Olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

(sliced potatoes, carrots and raisins – to be added when filling the hallacas)

Preparation
In a large size frying pan, add olive oil and heat up a little bit. Dice 2 onions in very small cubes, adding salt and pepper to taste, and sauté in the prepared pan at low heat for about 7 minutes until the onion looks soft.
Add the diced eggplant, seasoned with more salt and pepper, some more olive oil, and sauté until the eggplant starts to soften.
Add 1 spoon of tomato paste and the 2 cups of olives, mixing well until the tomato paste dissolves. Let is cook for about 2 minutes.
Add the garbanzo beans, mixing all ingredients, and sauté for about 5 minutes.
Add a little bit of liquid to the mix, to create a mildly creamy texture. Check the flavor and add more salt and pepper if needed.
Remove from the heat and let cool down for about 1 hours before making the hallacas.

When making the hallacas, I put sliced potatoes, sliced carrots, and raisins to the masa of each hallaca before adding the vegetarian filling.

Instant Pot Basmati Rice

Since we’re al dente fans, our perfect Indian basmati rice is Test 3’s results – fully cooked, firm with a bite, yet has a tint of softness. But if you prefer softer basmati rice, follow Test 5’s ratios and pressure cooking methods.

  • Softer Rice: If you enjoy softer rice, increase the liquid amount rather than cooking time.
  • Rinsing the Rice: If you’re rinsing the rice, it’ll throw off the rice-to-water ratio. So, be sure to reduce 3 tablespoons of water from the 1 cup of water stated in the recipe.

Instant Pot Ratatouille (Vegetable Stew)

Instant pot ratatouille! This is a classic French vegetable stew made in a pressure cooker. This pressure cooker vegetarian recipe is packed with summer vegetables that your body would love. This stew is typically on the stove top but why wait hours for it to simmer when you can have it on your dinner table in 30 minutes. Serve this nutritious stew with crusty homemade bread, pasta or rice.

EQUIPMENT

  • Instant Pot

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 large eggplant also known as aubergine chopped

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Cut the veggies into cubes and set aside.
  • Turn on your instant pot and select saute (more settings), add olive oil and leave until hot.
  • Add chopped onions and saute until soft (this should take about 3 minutes) add chopped garlic and continue to stir for another minute.
  • Next, add in the chopped zucchini, eggplant and red bell pepper and continue to saute for another 2 minutes. Followed by the tomato puree, basil, thyme, salt and the chopped tomatoes. Mix to combine for another minute.
  • Finally, pour the vegetable stock over it, stir to combine making sure nothing sticks to the bottom of the pan and if there is, make sure to scrape it off to avoid getting a BURN notice.
  • Secure the lid of the instant pot and turn the valve to the seal position. Select the manual or pressure cook button then cook on high pressure for 3 minutes.
  • Once the cycle is completed, carefully do a quick release. Stir to combine, if there is too much liquid in the ratatouille, turn on the saute function and stir until the liquid reduces in size.
  • Serve as desired and enjoy.

Olive Oil

 

PREPARATION

  1. Cut 2 lbs of fish in pieces of about 6-7” long and lightly season it with salt, pepper, adobo, and a little bit of olive oil (don’t salt too much, as the sofrito will also have salt). Let it rest for 10 – 15 minutes.
  2. On a medium to large size Sautee pan, add enough olive oil to Sautee 3 cloves of diced garlic, 1 diced onion, ½ diced red pepper, ½ green pepper, 1 diced tomato, and 4-5 green diced onions; add salt and pepper, and cook these vegetables until soft.
  3. When the vegetables are soft and creamy, add the coconut milk and let it cook at medium heat for about 4-5 minutes.
  4. Add the cod filets and cook them covered for 3 minutes, then uncover them and turn the fish adding some of the sauce on top. Taste the fish and adjust salt as needed, then cook for another 3 minutes (uncovered, if there is too much liquid).

Sourdough Spelt (swiss)

Vorteig

21:30 Uhr

100 g Wasser, ca. 30 Grad warm
40 g ASG
100 g UrDinkel Ruchmehl (Dinkelmehl Type 1050)

ASG zum Wasser in eine Schüssel geben und zusammen vermischen.
Mehl dazugeben und alles gut verkneten
mit plastikfolie abdecken, über Nacht bei ca. 20 grad gären lassen

 

Brühstück
100 g UrDinkel Vollkornmehl
150 g Wasser

Wasser aufkochen
direkt über das Mehl giessen und alles klumpenfrei mischen
mit Frischhaltefolie zugedeckt im Kühlschrank zwischen 8-12 Std. gären lassen.

____________________

nächster Morgen

Falls sich nach 8-12 Std. Dein Sauerteig noch nicht verdoppelt hat, empfehle ich dem Hauptteig etwa 10 g Frischhefe beizugeben.

Hauptteig

in Küchenmaschine

240 g Wasser, ca. 35 Grad (210-250g – je nach Mehl)
Sauerteig Vorteig
Brühstück
380 g UrDinkel Ruchmehl (Dinkelmehl Type 1050)
13 g Salz

3-4 Min. mischen auf Geschwindigkeit 1-2
10 Min. mischen bei Geschwindigkeit 4
3 MIn. mischen bei Geschwindigkeit 5

Mit der “Fensterprobe” den Teig prüfen. Wenn der Teig noch klebrig ist und reisst, weiter kneten, bis er die Fensterprobe besteht.

rechteckiges Pyrex mit Olivenöl einstreichen, Teig rein, abdecken
für 2-4 Std. bei Raumtemperatur gären lassen.

nach 30 minuten stretchen und falten

Hierzu ziehst Du an einer Seite des Teiges diesen in der Schüssel leicht hoch und legst den Teig an den gegenüberliegenden Schüsselrand. Dies geht am besten, wenn Du Deine Hände vorgängig in etwas Wasser tunkst.

Dann den Teig wieder zudecken und für die restliche Gärdauer ruhen lassen.
Noch drei mal stretchen und falten vor dem Backen

Parchment paper zuschneiden auf schwarzen Gusseisentopf.

Den Backofen mit Gusseisentopf  und Deckel auf 480F (250 C)
Ober-Unterhitze vorheizen. Ohne Umluft.
Wahrscheinlich muss ich den Topf etwas länger drin lassen, damit
er auf die Temperatur kommt, auch wenn der Ofen schon auf 480 F ist.

 

Nach der Gärzeit den Teig auf eine bemehlte Arbeitsfläche stürzen (Reismehl)
und den Teig von oben und unten einmal in die Mitte falten. Danach die linke Seite des Teiges in die Mitte legen und die rechte Seite des Teiges darüber legen.

Anschliessend dieses «Teigpaket» mit etwas Mehl stauben,
mit dem Verschluss nach oben auf das Backpapier
legen und in den heissen Gusseisentopf versenken.

Deckel schliessen und den Topf zurück in den Ofen geben.

Das Brot im Topf für 40 Min. backen.

Deckel entfernen
die Ofentemperatur auf 410 F (210 C) Grad reduzieren
für weitere 10-15 Min. knusprig ausbacken

Nach dem Backen das Brot auf einem Gitter auskühlen lassen.

Haltbarkeit
In einem Stoffbeutel (oder einem Brotkasten) ca. 3-5 Tage.
In Folie eingepackt und tiefgekühlt ca. 2 Monate.

Gut zu wissen
Fensterprobe

Wenn Du ein kleines Stück des Teiges dünn auseinanderziehst und durch das „Teigfenster” eine Zeitung lesen kannst, ist der Teig genügend geknetet und für die Weiterverarbeitung perfekt.

Brotgrösse:

Grundsätzlich können aus allen meinen Rezepten zu Kleinbrote (Semmel, Brötchen) auch sog. Grossbrote, also Brote (und natürlich auch aus den Grossbroten Brötchen) gebacken werden. Hierzu kann die Backtemperatur so belassen werden, allerdings muss die Backzeit je nach Grösse der Brote angepasst werden. Die untenstehenden Werte sind Richtwerte, jeder Ofen backt wieder anders:

Als Fausregel gilt:

Teiggewicht / Backdauer

40-200 g – 25-30 Min.

300-600 g – 30-40 Min.

600-900 g – 40-50 Min.

900-1200 g – 50-60 Min.

Wenn Du auf die Unterseite des Brotes klopfst und es sich „hohl“ anhört, dann ist es fertig gebacken. Wenn es allerdings dumpf klingt, sollte es noch 5-10 Minuten gebacken werden.

Sauerteig Marvin herstellen

20201201 11 Uhr
AST Marvin – halbe Menge angesetzt
https://www.brotpassion.de/sauerteig-marvin/

10g Klaus Honig
25g Dinkel (Farm) gesiebt
75g Brotmehl (Ksusha)
75g Quellwasser

Alle Zutaten in eine Schüssel füllen und gut mit den Händen kneten, bis ein weicher Teig entsteht. Die Schüssel fest verschließen (am besten mit einer Haube, so kann man den Teig beim Wachsen beobachten) und bei Raumtemperatur 36 bis 48 Stunden stehen lassen, bis der Teig sich gelockert und einen Alkoholgeruch entwickelt hat. Um für die Bakterien optimale Arbeitsbedingungen zu schaffen Schüssel während der gesamten Fermentation zugedeckt lassen.

Ich liess ihn 2 Tage auf dem Metallregal im Computerraum bei ca 21-25 Grad.

20201203 6 Uhr
Teig Temperatur 21.4 C

zum bisherign Teig hinzügen:

140g Brotmehl (Ksusha)
15g Dinkel (Farm)
75g Wasser

vermengen, dann zu einer Kugel formen
Schüssel auswaschen und Kugel wieder rein,
abdecken und weitere 24 Stunden auf Metallregal reifen lassen.

 

20201204 8 Uhr
Teig Temperatur 21.0 C

Schritt 3

alle Mengen von hier an halbieren !!!!

 

 

• 50 g Teigmischung aus Schritt 2 (Rest in grosses Glas im Kühlschrank)
• 100 g Weizenmehl 550 (Brotmehl Ksusha)
• 50 g Wasser (das war zu wenig Wasser für diese Teigart), habe noch etwas zugefügt.
Ball geformt und in hohes Glas, abgedeckt
rund 24 Stunden bei Raumtemperatur gehen lassen.

Schritt 4
Marvin fühlt sich wohl, wenn er sichtlich gewachsen ist. Der Sauerteig kommt jetzt für 2 Tage (mild-säuerliche Brote) oder 4 bis 5 Tage (säuerliche Brote) in den Kühlschrank in das oberste Fach. Dort herrschen optimale Bedingungen für ihn.
Er ist zur Weiterverarbeitung bereit, wenn er unter der Haut eine gelbliche Farbe hat und leicht butterig riecht. Anfangs bilden sich noch wenige Bläschen, aber von Fütterung zu Fütterung erhält Marvin seine typisch feste grobporige Struktur.
Sollte Marvin mal stechend riechen, dann ist er mehr als reif für eine Fütterung. Auch wenn die Hautoberfläche etwas dunkel oder wässerig geworden ist, weil er länger nicht gefüttert wurde – so ist sein Herz intakt. Die Oberfläche entfernen und wie gewohnt füttern. Solange Marvin vom Schimmel nicht befallen ist lässt er sich gut reaktivieren.

Nun kann Marvin im Kühlschrank nachreifen und ist bald fertig für seinen ersten Einsatz

Marvins Fütterung
Die Fütterung erfolgt immer nach demselben Prinzip: ein Teil Wasser + ein Teil Sauerteig + 2 Teile Mehl, also genauso viel Wasser wie Sauerteig + doppelte Menge an Mehl
Beispiel:
50g Sauerteig Marvin + 50g Wasser + 50g Weizenmehl 550 + 50g Dinkelvollkornmehl
50g Marvin Grundansatz werden in 50g Zimmer-warmen Wasser aufgelöst. Zum im Wasser gelösten Sauerteig kommt das Mehl hinzu. Alle Zutaten mit den Händen kneten bis sie sich verbunden haben –  aus der Masse eine feste, geschmeidige Teigkugel formen, die eine glatte Oberfläche ohne Risse aufzeigt.

Bei schmalen Gefäßen forme ich Marvin nicht zu einer Kugel sondern zu einer Art Schnecke wie im Bild zu sehen.
Nach der Fütterung kann Marvin direkt im Kühlschrank geparkt werden oder ein paar Stunden bei Raumtemperatur reifen, bis er entweder für das Backen verwendet wird oder aufgepolstert in den Kühlschrank zur Nachreife kommt.

Utes Weihnachtsstollen 2020

Zutaten

1 Kilo Rosinen
1 Flasche Rum

1250 g Mehl (Dinkel geht auch)
vier Würfel Hefe
1/4 l Milch (geht auch Mandelmilch)

150 g Butter + 500 g Butter
Vanille Zucker
100 g gehackte Mandeln
100 g gemahlene Mandeln
250 g Zucker
100 g Orangeat
100 g Zitronat
abgeriebene Zitronenschale und Saft
15 Tropfen Bitter Mandelaroma

nach dem Backen (erst am nächsten Tag, wenn Stollen gut ausgekühlt ist !!!!)
flüssig buttern (ca. 180g Butter – nicht zu heiss)
Butter gut einziehen lassen und erst dann Puderzucker drauf (durchs Sieb)

und mit Zucker verschönern

 

 

 

Am Vorabend wird ein Kilo Rosinen in Rum eingeweicht. Es geht auch Weintraubensaft oder Apfelsaft oder ein Gemisch aus allem, wie ihr mögt. Ich habe alles ausprobiert am besten schmeckt es mit Rum

Dann werden 1250 g Mehl und vier Würfel Hefe in eine Schüssel gebracht und mit 1/4 l lauwarmer Milch zu einem Vorteig gerührt. Eine Prise Zucker hilft beim gehen

 

Während der Teig geht werden 150 g Butter aufgelöst mit einem Vanille Zucker, 100 g gehackten Mandeln, 100 g Orangeat, 100 g Zitronat etwas abgeriebener Zitronenschale und Saft und 15 Tropfen Bitter Mandelaroma. Das kann man in einem Töpfchen beiseite stellen

 

 

Wenn der Vorteig schön gegangen ist wie oben abgebildet, dann werden 500 g Butter in Würfel geschnitten und dem Vorteig hinzugefügt

 

Dazu kommt noch 100 g gemahlene Mandeln, 250 g Zucker und eine Prise Salz.

Den Inhalt des zur Seite gestellten Töpfchens mit Butter, Zitronat etc. hinzufügen.

Das Ganze wird jetzt wunderbar geknetet bis ein richtig schöner geschmeidiger Teig daraus geworden ist

 

Und dieser leckere Klumpen wird jetzt 1 Stunde in Ruhe gelassen zum Gehen an einem warmen Ort.
Abgedeckt mit einem Geschirrtuch

 

So schön locker sollte er dann aussehen nach dem Gehen

 

Während dessen werden die Rosinen in ein Sieb gegeben damit sie abtropfen können, bevor sie in den Teig hinein gearbeitet werden

 

Schön vorsichtig damit die dicken Rosinen nicht kaputt gehen

 

 

Dann wird der Teig in drei oder vier Teile geteilt und im Ofen noch einmal gehen gelassen (40 Minuten)

bei ca. 140 Celsius (Umluft) 1 Stunde backen

bei Ober/Unterhitze ca. 180 Celsius

 

 

Es kann sein dass die Stollen sehr breit auseinander laufen.
Deshalb habe ich mir dieses Jahr mal eine Stollen Backform gekauft

 

Die beiden äußeren saßen einfach nur auf dem Blech der mittlere ist mit der Backform gebacken

Nach dem backen schön auskühlen lassen und am nächsten Tag flüssig buttern und mit Zucker verschönern.
Gut verpackt hält er sich lange ? nur nicht bei mir. ??

other version from the internet:

Ingredients

Cod (fish), 1 fillet
Figs, fresh, 5 small (1-1/2″ dia)
Garlic, 2 cloves
*Herbes de Provence, 28 serving
*Crisco 100% Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 2 tbsp

Directions

Coat all sides of the cod filets in generous rubs of fresh minced garlic, sea salt, and Herbs de Provence. Let sit in the spice rub in the fridge for an hour.

Heat olive oil over medium heat in a non-stick pan. Sear fish on all sides until done.

If you have some brown sugar, add like a teaspoon per cup of figs… make sure to cover the pan with the figs after you’ve seared them off well, reducing the heat..

You need to cook them until they are really, really soft and smashable, almost a thick jam consistency… cook figs separate from the fish and serve over the fish once it’s done.

Beurre Blanc sauce

YIELD
Makes about 1 cup
ACTIVE TIME
15 min
TOTAL TIME
20 min

INGREDIENTS

1/4 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup white-wine vinegar
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallot
1/3 cup heavy cream
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon white pepper, or to taste
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, cut into tablespoon-size pieces and chilled

PREPARATION

Boil wine, vinegar, and shallot in a 2- to 3-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat until liquid is syrupy and reduced to 2 to 3 tablespoons, about 5 minutes. Add cream, salt, and white pepper and boil 1 minute. Reduce heat to moderately low and add a few tablespoons butter, whisking constantly. Add remaining butter a few pieces at a time, whisking constantly and adding new pieces before previous ones have completely liquefied (the sauce should maintain consistency of hollandaise), lifting pan from heat occasionally to cool mixture.
Remove from heat, then season to taste with salt and pepper and pour sauce through a medium-mesh sieve into a sauceboat, pressing on and then discarding shallot. Serve immediately.
Cooks’ Note
Wine mixture can be reduced, and cream and seasoning added, up to 1 hour ahead. Boil cream 1 minute before adding butter.

Sorbet de fruit

Ingrédients pour 1 L de sorbet : 100 g de sucre semoule, 30 g de glucose ou de miel, 150 ml d’eau, 500 g de purée de fruits, 2 cl de jus de citron

Matériel : 1 casserole, 1 fouet, 1 spatule, 1 bol, 1 sorbetière

Difficulté : 3

1. Préparer un sirop en portant le sucre, le glucose et l’eau à ébullition. Écumer et refroidir.

2. Mélanger le sirop avec la purée de fruits.

3. Ajouter le jus de citron au mélange.

4. Préparer la sorbetière en démarrant le refroidissement et entreposer un bol (qui contiendra le sorbet sanglé) au congélateur. Sangler le sorbet : laisser la sorbetière refroidir et foisonner.

5. Des bulles d’air vont s’incorporer à la masse et augmenter son volume de 30 à 50%. Réserver le sorbet dans un bol au congélateur pendant au moins 1 heure avant dégustation.

Plus du Chef : Pour conserver la texture parfaite de votre sorbet, vous devrez équilibrer sa densité (avec un densimètre qui mesure la teneur en sucre de vos fruits). C’est la raison pour laquelle nous vous conseillons de sangler vos sorbets à la dernière minute et de les consommer au plus vite.

giant white corn snack

Goya Foods

Giant White Corn or Maiz Mote Pelado.

Soak dried corn in 8 cups of water for 12 to 18 hours, or longer, if desired. When finished soaking, discard water and use paper towels to dry the kernels.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F
Place a single layer of corn kernels in a roasting pan, add oil and toss until thoroughly coated. Put into the oven for roasting and stir every 5 to 6 minutes. Bake the kernels in oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown.
Use paper towels to absorb excess oil as corn is placed on the towels. While still oily, select any desired seasoning and sprinkle over the kernels, turning them to season completely. Seasonings that can be chosen include: kosher salt, garlic salt, popcorn seasonings, or any desired favors of choice.
Shortly after removing the corn from the oil and when cooled, the kernels may be somewhat chewy from the absorbed oil. If too chewy, they have not cooked long enough. Allowing the corn to air dry for a day or so in a cool dry area increases the crispness.

Vegetarian Gravy

  1. Put margarine in a pot and saute the onions and garlic over med-high heat.
  2. Reduce heat back to medium after onions and garlic have become golden brown.
  3. Make a roux by gradually adding the flour, while continuously stirring to avoid lumps.
  4. Still stirring, add soy sauce and water to the mixture.
  5. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Once the gravy has reached desired thickness, turn off the stove and you are done!

fresh sage

This recipe turned out really well. I used veggie broth instead of water, and reduced the soy sauce to 1 T. because my broth was salted. The gravy was still a little on the salty side, but tasty. I also added some dried sage, thyme and parsley.

The only alteration I made was adding a bit of garlic powder(along with the cloves) and a bit more water than soy sauce.

I add some rosemary and thyme to give it a bit more flavour, which I find complements this recipe very well. I’ve used this over potatoes, veggie burgers, veggie roasts, etc.

GLUTEN-FREE FRENCH BREAD

Iris says: “This delicious bread comes the closest to French bread I’ve had since going gluten, egg and yeast free. It has a crispy outside with a soft and chewy inside. Note that I use white rice flour, which is NOT the same as sweet white rice flour. I don’t recommend changing the flour, so if you can’t have white rice flour, experiment at your own risk.”
INGREDIENTS
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons whole psyllium husks
  • 1 tablespoon oil (canola, olive, etc.)
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened applesauce
  • 1¾ cups white rice flour (254 grams)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly oil a baking sheet.
  2. Stir together milk and apple cider vinegar. Let sit for a minute, then stir in psyllium and let sit for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, stir in the oil and applesauce.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Make a well in the middle, pour the wet mix in and stir. It will eventually get clumpy and you’ll need to knead it until it comes together in a dough. Alternatively, you can use a food processor to mix them together.
  4. Form into the shape of a French bread, about 8 inches long. Place on baking sheet and brush liberally with extra oil.
  5. Bake for 40 minutes. Allow to rest at least 20 minutes before cutting.
  6. Note: Make sure your oven is preheated so you can get the bread straight into the oven. It won’t rise much but you want to make sure the baking soda and baking powder are working in the oven.

Molten Chocolate Cakes (Monica – mama de John)

INGREDIENTS

  • ½ cup unsalted butter (1 stick, 4 ounces), plus more for buttering the molds
  • 6 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, chopped into small pieces
  • 4 large eggs
  • ¼ cup sugar

2 teaspoons flour, plus more for dusting the molds

 

PREPARATION

  • Using the double boiler method, melt the chocolate and the butter. (Alternatively, you can put the butter in a medium bowl and melt it in the microwave, then add the chocolate to the hot butter and stir until melted).
  • Crack 2 eggs into a bowl, and add 2 more yolks (discard the extra whites). Add the sugar, and beat or whisk until light and thick, about 2 minutes. Add egg mixture and 2 teaspoons flour to the melted chocolate; beat until combined.
  • Butter and lightly flour five 4-ounce molds or ramekins (make sure not to miss any spots, or the cakes will stick). Tap out the excess flour. Divide the batter among the molds. (At this point you can refrigerate them for up to 3 hours; just bring them back to room temperature before baking.)
  • When you’re ready to bake, heat the oven to 450. Put the molds on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until the cakes have puffed up a bit, the tops are barely set and the cakes still jiggle slightly when shaken, 7 to 9 minutes (in my oven, it is exactly 8 minutes. But, better under baked than over baked). Let sit for 1 minute.

Put a plate on top of the ramekin and (with a potholder to protect your hand) carefully invert the cake onto the plate. Let it sit for 10 seconds, then lift up the ramekin. Serve immediately, with ice cream, sorbet or whipped cream.

 

 

Empanadas with Black Beans (Monica – mama de John)

 

Dough

 

Corn flour (PAN, Venezuelan brand)

Salt to taste

Olive oil (or any other oil) to taste

Triguisar or sazon Goya for flavor and color

 

Preparation of dough

 

Mix all the ingredients in a bowl and work inside the bowl until you get a soft but semi-firm dough

 

Black Beans

 

Cook the black beans to the desired consistency. While the beans cook, dice onion, green and red peppers, garlic, scallions and tomatoes. Sautee this mixture, for about 5 minutes, and add any desired seasoning (I use adobo, black pepper, oregano and triguisar). Once this mix is cooked, add to the beans and let the simmer at mid-heat. Let them cook for about 20 minutes until most of the liquid is reduced. They must have a consistency that allows for the empanadas to be fried without liquid dripping off.

 

Using a roller, extend the dough, add a small amount of black beans and fold dough over the mixture to cover it. Then give it a half moon shape.

 

Fry empanadas in a deep fryer or in a pan with enough oil.

Hirsefrühstück mit Rosinen und Äpfeln (für 2 Personen) (Ute)

Nachfolgend finden Sie zwei wichtige Rezepte für ein warmes Frühstück „Das Hirse-Rezept“ des Zentrum für Traditionelle Chinesische und Integrative Medizin und „Das Hühnersuppe-Rezept“.

Beide Rezepte sollen das Qi im Körper stärken und das Blut nähren.

Hirsefrühstück mit Rosinen und Äpfeln (für 2 Personen)

Zutaten:

(E) Butter, (E) Hirse, (E) Rosine, (E) Apfel süßlich, (E) Zimt, (F) Wasser heiß, (M) Ingwer, (H) Dinkelflocken

Zubereitung:

1 Tasse Hirse (ca. 130g) in den Topf geben und kurz rösten bis sie duftet, die Butter (ca. 20g) dazugeben und mit der Hirse schmelzen. Dann eine Hand voll Rosinen (Geschmackssache, je mehr desto süßer), einen mittelgroßen, klein geschnittenen Apfel in den Topf geben, nach Belieben Zimt darüber stäuben und 2 Tassen Wasser (also die doppelte Menge Wasser wie der Hirseanteil, ca. 350ml) dazugeben. Danach etwas frischen Ingwer (etwa 1-Euro-großes Stück klein geschnitten, oder als Ganzes, um es am Ende dann herauszunehmen und nicht mitzuessen, je nach Belieben) dazugeben und zum Schluss einen Esslöffel Dinkelflocken einrühren. Alles bei kleiner Flamme und geschlossenem Deckel etwa 10min köcheln lassen.

Falls das Frühstück zu trocken und zu körnig ist – noch etwas Wasser zugeben, falls zu weich, dann beim nächsten Mal weniger Wasser nehmen. Es ist möglich, das Hirsefrühstück zu pürieren, weil dann eine gleichmäßige Süße erreicht wird – schmeckt besonders Kindern besser.

Variationen:

  • anderes Obst (z.B. frische Birnen (E), Pfirsiche (H), Mango (E), etc. jedoch keine Bananen)
  • gehackte Walnüsse (E) oder Sonnenblumen- o. Kürbiskerne (E), Mandeln (E)
  • Sojamilch/Reismilch (E) zum Schluss dazu
  • 1 Ei (E) am Ende unterrühren (ist sättigender und das Frühstück bekommt eine cremigere Konsistenz)
  • salzig würzen mit Brühe, Kräutern und Gemüse (Möhren, Lauch, Tomaten etc.)

Getreidevariationen:

  • Polenta (E) (Maisgrieß), am besten salzig kochen, z.B. mit Tomaten, Kräutern
  • Hirseflocken, Dinkelflocken, Haferflocken (M) (Flocken müssen nicht so lange kochen und quellen schneller)
  • Sojamilch/Reismilch (E) zum Schluss dazu
  • Getreide: Quinoa (F), Amaranth (F) oder Reis (E) (Variationen: Süßreis (Mochi), Klebreis, Reismischungen, etc.)

coconut yoghurt

What You Need

Ingredients
3 (14-ounce) cans coconut milk
3 tablespoons tapioca starch (see Recipe Notes)
6 probiotic capsules, or 4 tablespoons store-bought coconut yogurt
2 tablespoons agave syrup

  1. Shake 3 cans of coconut milk
  2. pour 1/2 a cup of coconut milk into the small pyrex measuring cup
  3. add 3 tablespoons of tapioca starch and mix well

  7. Add 3 Tablespoons of ground Flax seeds.
  8. Continue cooking, whisking occasionally, for 7 minutes, until the the tapioca starch has thickened the mixture.
  9. Cool the milk: Put into Bain de Marie (biggest metal bowl with ice cubes and cold water): Cool the milk until it’s just warm to the touch, about 100°F. (about 30 minutes)
  10. boil 1 1/2 liters of water
  11. place the small yoghurt jars into the sink and fill them with boiling water to sterilize them. Let stand a few minutes, then pour the water out.
  12. Add the probiotics: Twist open 6 probiotic capsule and pour the powdery contents over the milk (discard the capsule’s casing). Whisk to combine.

vegan pasta salad

4 cups elbow macaroni shells (GF for gluten free eaters)
1/2 red pepper, diced
1 cup celery, diced
1/4 cup diced red or green onion
1 cup silken firm tofu (make sure it’s silken or it won’t blend right)
2-3 Tbsp dried dill or 4-5 Tbsp fresh
3-4 Tbsp agave nectar or cane sugar (or honey if not vegan)
1/4 tsp sea salt, black pepper & garlic powder
2 Tbsp vinegar (white wine is best)
2 Tbsp grape seed or olive oil
1 Tbsp spicy mustard for tang
(water to thin)

Instructions
Cook noodles according to package instructions, drain and set aside.
Chop veggies and set aside.
Prepare dressing by adding silken tofu, dill, salt, pepper garlic powder, agave nectar (or sugar), vinegar, grape seed oil, and spicy mustard to a blender and blending until well combined. Scrape down sides as needed. If having trouble blending add water in Tablespoon amounts until it has enough liquid to churn properly.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. I added more dill, mustard, salt and agave.
Toss drained noodles and veggies with the dressing in a large serving bowl. Chill for at least 1-2 hours before serving. The flavors will meld and the salad will thicken up the longer it chills.
Serves 8. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to a few days.

Quinoa Salad Recipe with Lime + Fresh Mint (vegan)

This cool, refreshing salad (which just so happens to be vegan and naturally gluten-free) reminds me of tabbouleh- a Middle Eastern style pasta dish I used to love. What makes a quinoa salad taste so fabulous? Fresh mint, lime juice and good tasting extra virgin olive oil.

Ingredients:

1 cup uncooked quinoa
2 tablespoons fruity extra virgin olive oil
Juice from 2 limes
2-3 fresh mint sprigs, leaves removed and chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves or parsley
Sea salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste
A handful of sweet and ripe cherry or grape tomatoes, quartered
2 tablespoons diced red onion- or use 2 chopped scallions
1 garlic clove, minced

Instructions:

Cook the quinoa in 2 and 1/4 to 2 1/2 cups fresh water, covered, until all of the water is absorbed. Add a small pinch sea salt, if desired. Note: I use my rice cooker to do this. The quinoa turns out fluffy, tender and perfect.

Scoop the cooked quinoa into a bowl and add the remaining ingredients. Toss lightly with a fork until combined.

Taste test and adjust seasonings.

Cover and chill- the longer, the better. In fact, I think this salad tastes even better the second day- so plan ahead if you need a make-ahead dish for a party.

Makes 4-6 servings.

2015-12-25 13.49.42Pro Person 1 Kg Kartoffeln schälen (Gewicht der ungeschälten Kartoffeln)

1 Drittel klein schnippeln und mit viel Wasser bedecken, 25 Minuten kochen, oft rühren, damit es nicht anbrennt

2 Drittel roh lassen, im Entsafter pressen – je nach Gerät einige Minuten zentrifugieren,
damit die Masse schön trocken wird

Die Trockenmasse in kleine Stückchen zupfen und eventuelle Kartoffelstückchen
aussortieren und der Kochmasse zufügen.

Von der zentrifugierten Flüssigkeit setzt sich Stärke ab, die kann man auch der Kochmasse beifügen

An die Trockenmasse Kartoffelstärke (1 EL) und Salz (2 EL) zufügen.

Kochmasse mit Pürierstab klumpenfrei mixen. Dann wieder unter Rühren aufkochen.

Der Hälfte des heissen Breis (99.8 Grad Celsius) über die Trockenmasse giessen und mit einem grossen Holzquirl verrühren. (das geht am besten zu zweit, wobei eine Person die Schüssel festhält, während der andere rührt.)

Dann die zweite Hälfte der Kochmasse zufügen und verrühren. Die Masse ist ausreichend
verrührt, wenn beim Rühren schmatzende Geräusche entstehen.

(Die Masse muss glasig werden. Ansonsten Kartoffelstärke in kaltem Wasser anrühren, und aufkochen und zur Masse zufügen.)

Masse abschmecken und evtl. mehr Salz zufügen. Die Masse sollte jetzt schon gut schmecken.

coconut bread

Ingredients

2/3 cup coconut flour (sift it )

2/3 cup of buckwheat flour


 1⁄2 cup coconut cream (full cream at the

top of canned coconut milk), warmed gently

2 Tbsp. coconut oil


1⁄2 tsp. salt


1 tsp. aluminum-free baking powder

6 eggs

ground Chea seeds

 

1. Using a whisk, or an electric mixer on medium speed, beat eggs in a large bowl until foamy. Add coconut cream and coconut oil to the eggs and whisk, or with mixer on low, mix well.

2. Into a medium bowl,  sift (!) coconut flour. Add buckwheat flour, chea, salt, baking powder.

3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). With a brush, oil a loaf pan with melted coconut oil. Cut a piece of parchment paper the width of the bottom of the loaf pan and long enough to overlap the ends of the pan. Brush parchment paper with coconut oil, set aside.

4.Stir flour mixture into egg mixture just until a smooth batter forms.

5. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and bake for about 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center of a loaf comes out clean. Cool in pan for 5 minutes. Run a knife along the sides of the loaf to loosen and then lift loaf out of pan by the ends of the parchment paper. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

1.Sifting is important. . . Coconut flour clumps, so make sure to sift before combining with other dry ingredients.

2.Not all coconut milk is created equal. . . If the cream at the top of the canned coconut milk is very thick or waxy, replace tablespoon for tablespoon with the canned coconut liquid, up to 3 tablespoons, for a lighter loaf. Always warm coconut cream gently to a liquid before adding to egg mixture.

3.Batter will be fairly stiff. . . For a thinner loaf, spread batter evenly in bottom of pan. For a thicker loaf, spoon batter into one end of the prepared loaf pan, covering about 2/3 of the bottom and bake an extra 5 – 10 minutes.

 

Hashed Brussels sprouts with Lemon Zest (NYT)

This is a pain-free way to cook a whole lot of brussels sprouts, so long as you have a food processor. (And if you’re cooking Thanksgiving dinner, you deserve to have a food processor.)

TIME

25 minutes

YIELD

8 to 12 servings

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice, more to taste
  • Grated zest of 1 lemon
  • 2 to 3 pounds brussels sprouts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons black mustard seeds, cumin seeds, or poppy seeds
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine or vermouth
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  1. Place lemon juice in a large bowl. Cut bottoms off sprouts, and discard. Working in batches, use a food processor fitted with the slicing blade to cut sprouts into thin slices. (If cutting by hand, halve sprouts lengthwise, and thinly slice them crosswise. The slices toward the stem end should be thinner, to help pieces cook evenly.) As you work, transfer slices into bowl with lemon juice. When all sprouts are sliced, toss them in juice and use your fingers to separate leaves. (Recipe can be prepared to this point and refrigerated, covered, for up to 3 hours.)
  2. When ready to serve, heat oil and butter over high heat in a skillet large enough to hold all sprouts. When very hot, add sprouts, garlic and seeds, and cook, stirring often, until sprouts are wilted and lightly cooked, but still bright green and crisp, about 4 minutes. Some leaves may brown slightly.
  3. Add wine and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, 1 minute more. Turn off heat, add salt and pepper to taste, and more lemon juice if desired. Stir in the lemon zest, reserving a little for top of dish. Transfer to a serving bowl, sprinkle with remaining zest and serve.

Coconut Brown Rice

626-111_coconut_brown_rice_300

1  1″ piece peeled fresh ginger
1 cup brown jasmine rice
3⁄4 cup unsweetened coconut milk
1⁄2 tsp. kosher salt
Cilantro sprigs for garnish

1. Using the back of a large knife, pound the ginger until it becomes bruised and somewhat stringy and releases some of is juice. This will take a few good whacks.

2. Rinse the rice in a strainer under cold running water for 30 seconds. Transfer the rice to a 1 1⁄2-quart saucepan and add the coconut milk, 3⁄4 cup cold water, and the salt.

3. Add the ginger to the pan and stir well to combine with the rice, making sure that the ginger is as fully submerged in the rice as possible. Place the pan over high heat and bring the liquid to a boil while stirring with a large spoon to prevent the rice at the bottom of the pan from scorching or burning. (Don’t worry if the liquid thickens considerably as it comes to a boil; that’s a result of the combining of the fats in the coconut milk with the starch in the rice.)

4. Allow the rice to boil for 15 seconds, while continuing to stir. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, until the liquid is completely absorbed and rice is tender, about 45 minutes. Remove the pot from heat; allow the rice to continue to steam, covered, for 10 minutes. Fluff rice with a fork and garnish with sprigs of cilantro.

ensalada de Klaus (spanish translation)

Ingredientes:

– 3 ramas de Ajoporro

– 2 latas de Piña

– 500 grs de Jamón Cocido (o salmon ahumado o queso Munster)

– 6 Huevos

– 4 o 5 ramas completas de Celery

– Mayonesa, si es posible usa mayonesa light.

 

Preparación:

– Lavar el ajoporro y el celery. Debes asegurarte de lavar muy bien el ajoporre ya que este generalmente contiene arena en el interior.

– Primero hacer un corte transversal a cada ajoporro. Luego utilizando toda la parte blanca y hasta una cierta parte del área verde del ajoporro, picar las partes transversales en finas rodajas de aprox. 1/2 cm  (Saber cuanto del ajoporro utilizar depende de que tan fresco esta el mismo y si te gusta su parte verde).

– Después, Picar el celery en finas ruedas (también de 1/2 cm de ancho aprox.)

– Volver a lavar estos vegetales con abundante agua usando un colador.

– Cocinar el ajoporro en una sartén con un poquito de agua hirviendo por 5 mins (el agua debe cubrir apenas los vegetales, sin exceder).

– Cocinar el celery  en una sartén con un poquito de agua hirviendo por 5 mins (el agua debe cubrir apenas los vegetales, sin exceder).

– Por otro lado, picar las ruedas de piña en 6 partes cada una

– Picar el jamón en cuadros de 1 cm.

– Poner a hervir agua en una olla mediana, cuando el agua este hirviendo colocar los huevos cuidadosamente con una cucharilla, dejarlos hervir por 10 minutos. Luego apagar la llama y llevar la olla al fregadero y colocar agua fresca para dejar enfriar los huevos. Quitar las cascaras y picar en rebanadas.

 

– En un bowl alto, colocar primero el ajoporro, pues la piña picada. Seguido agregar el jamón cocido ya picado. La capa siguiente es el celery, pues los huevos. Después se debe agregar la mayonesa haciendo una película que cubra toda la superficie de la ensalada dentro del bowl para que no entre aire y así todos los ingredientes de la misma puedan reaccionar y mezclarse adecuadamente.

 

Ojo: No se debe revolver la ensalada en este momento. Es importante dejar cada capa reposar individualmente mientras se refrigera por unas horas.

 

– Cubrir el bowl con Emboplast. Llevar al refrigerador  y dejar por un mínimo de 2 horas (de 2 a 24 horas). Para un mejor resultado es recomendable hacer esta ensalada en víspera (de un día para otro), ya que un tiempo mayor al de 12 horas permite que los componentes de la ensalada unan sus sabores.

– Al sacar del refrigerador puedes mezclar (revolver) la ensalada. Esto se hace justo antes de servir.

 

– Este tipo de ensalada no necesita sal u otro condimento. Pero si alguien desea agregar sal, puede hacerlo al gusto y al momento de servir.

 

Buen provecho!!!  Que la disfruten!!!

Smashed celeriac for a salad

1 celeriac, peeled

olive oil
1 handful fresh thyme, leaves picked
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
sea salt
freshly ground black pepper
3-4 tablespoons water or organic stock
Slice about 1cm/½ inch off the bottom of your celeriac and roll it on to that flat edge, so it’s nice and safe to slice. Slice and dice it all up into 1cm/½ inch-ish cubes.

Put a casserole-type pot on a high heat, add 3 good lugs of olive oil, then add the celeriac, thyme and garlic, with a little seasoning. Stir around to coat and fry quite fast, giving a little colour, for 5 minutes.

Turn the heat down to a simmer, add the water or stock, place a lid on top and cook for around 25 minutes, until tender.

Potato, pear and celeriac gratin

The addition of pears enhances the celeriac’s sweet, aromatic quality. Serve with something hearty, such as slow-cooked shoulder of lamb or pork. Serves six as a side dish.

1 knob butter
About 400g floury potatoes
About 400g celeriac
2 firm, medium pears (about 300g)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
400ml double cream
100ml whole milk
1 clove garlic, peeled and halved
1 bay leaf
1 good grating nutmeg

Heat the oven to 170C/335F/gas mark 3. Rub a gratin dish with the butter.

Peel the potatoes and slice them thinly, either with a sharp knife or a mandoline. Cut the outer layer off the celeriac and slice this thinly, too. Peel, quarter and core the pears, and slice each quarter thinly lengthwise. Combine the vegetables and pear in a bowl, season and toss. Arrange the mixture in the gratin dish, pressing it as flat as possible so there are not too many gaps and air pockets.

Put the cream and milk in a saucepan with the garlic halves, the bay leaf, the nutmeg and plenty of salt and pepper, and heat until just below boiling. Pour over the veg in the dish (take the bay leaf out at this stage, but keep the garlic in).

Bake for an hour and a quarter to an hour and a half. The gratin is ready when the top is golden and bubbling, and a small, sharp knife easily pierces the vegetables all the way through. You may want to turn up the heat to 190-200C (gas mark 5 or 6) for five minutes at the end for a bit of extra bubbling crispness. Leave to rest and cool for five minutes or so before serving.

Screen Shot 2013-02-09 at 11.07.47 PM

 

RISOS – ROLLOS DE CARNE CON TOCINETA

INGREDIENTES:

–       2 lb. Carne: puede ser muchacho cuadrado o chocosuela cortado en milanesa.

–       Aceite canolla, palillos de pasapalo.

–       ½ lb. Tocineta (Bacon) ahumada.

–       1 cebolla mediana picada en cuadritos

–       2 cucharadas de harina de trigo

–       ½ tasa de vino tinto

–       1 tasa o 1½  tasa de Agua caliente

–       1 Cubito o una cucharadita de pasta de caldo de pollo disuelta en el agua.

 

PREPARACIÓN:

 

La milanesa de carne se pica por la mitad. Cortar la tocineta en trozos de 1½ o 2”. Poner la pieza de carne estirada en una tabla de picar, luego poner un pedazo de tocineta sobre la carne. Enrollar e insertar un palillo para sujetar la pieza enrollada (carne parte exterior, tocineta parte interior).

 

Calentar una sartén y colocar un poquito de aceite de freír. Poner la carne a freír hasta que la misma dore dorada (ojo: este paso es solo para dorar la carne, no para cocinarla completamente). Retirar la carne de la sartén y reservar. En la misma sartén, sofreír la cebolla hasta transparente. Colocar al sofrito las 2 cucharadas de harina. Dejar espesar hasta que tome un color tostado bonito o dorado. Agregar el vino tinto, el agua caliente con el cubito (Caldo de Pollo) y sal al gusto. Cocinar a fuego medio. La salsa debe quedar liviana (no muy espesa), si es necesario licuar la salsa.

 

Luego colocar la salsa con los rollos de carne en una olla de presión por ¾ horas a fuego moderado (mediano). Si la salsa seca, colocar un poco mas de agua. Probar si esta al gusto y estar atento de que la salsa debe cubrir las piezas de carne.
