Inspirations... Chili Chicken Fingers!

Inspired by one of the best group of people, I have had the pleasure of working with, here's my take on an all time favourite "Tupelo Chicken" from Hard Rock Cafe. Served with home made Honey mustard sauce, this is a very good beer companion, hands down! ROCK AND ROLL!

A catering for a new Christian!

Last Saturday was a special catering day for me. Not just for the fact that another child was brought to this world to be a Christian, but also for the fact that this child is very special and dear to my heart. My neighbour and good friend, theater writer and director Anna Elina, waited for this child for a long time. So I am very pleased to be the one serving for this very special occasion.

A simple but classic table setting with royal blue trimmings, held the buffet that consisted of the all time favorite: Lumpiang Shanghai (spring rolls), Vegetarian Quiche, Prawn crackers, Summer Salad, home made Malt bread, and the new addition to our menu, Kilawing Salmon (Ceviche).

Don't stress, don't fret! The party fairies are here!!!!

From Wikipedia:
Dulce de leche is a thick, caramel-like milk-based Argentinian sauce or spread.


Literally translated as "sweets made of milk," it is prepared by slowly heating sweetened milk to create a product that derives its taste from caramelised sugar. Its origin is widely debated, but there's no doubt that it's origin was in Argentina or Uruguay. and it remains popular throughout Latin America, where it is known by this name in Argentina, Uruguay, Bolivia, Paraguay, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, and Costa Rica; in Chile, Ecuador and Panama (where it is known as manjar); in Peru and Colombia (where it is known either as manjar blanco or arequipe depending on regional variations); in Mexico and Nicaragua (where it is known as cajeta); and in Brazil (where it is known by its Portuguese name doce de leite).


A French version, known as confiture de lait, is very similar to the spreadable forms of dulce de leche. A Norwegian version, Hamar pålegg ("Hamar spread"), better known as HaPå, is a relatively thick and not so sweet commercial variant.

Syllabub

Inspired by Nigellas Syllabub, I tried making the same with the liqueur I could find in my alc. cabinet. I found a cranberry and cherry liqueurs. And it was a huge success! So here it goes. I hope you enjoy this too.

Ingredients and procedure:

1. Juice 1 lemon and strain the pulps and seeds, place the juice in the mixing bowl and add
3/4 cups of sugar.

2. Whisk in a 250 ml tub of Mascarpone cheese.

3. Add 1/4 cup (well... go nuts!) of cranberry or cherry liqueur and a 250 ml whipping cream. Continue to whisk until thick. Set aside.

4. This is what I found in my cabinet!

5. Arrange 6 pcs. of dessert glasses. Crumble about 1 pc. of a vanilla biscuit. Digestive will also do.

6. Layer it with the cream mixture about 1/2 inch thick.

7. Add a layer of raspberry sauce.

I used a small bag of frozen raspberry (if using fresh, you need about 1 ½ cups) run it in a food processor with about 1/4 cup sugar. Strain to get rid of the seeds.

8. Add a thin layer of crumbled biscuit and almond flakes. (for texture)

9. Add another layer of cream.

10. Cover with cling wrap and refrigerate for about 2 hours before serving. Preparing this a day before serving, works well.

11. Top with some cherries and some more almond flakes. Enjoy!!!

Danke Donuts

Danke Donuts:
In Club Manila in Dubai:
Peewee: Isn't "Danke" African?
Toni: No, its German for "Thanks"
Jinky: (with indignation-taray!) No! Its American! Danke Donuts!


Ingredients and directions:



1. In a medium bowl, combine the following:

250 ml unflavored yogurt (non-fat is ok too)
170 grams sugar
2 eggs
1 tbsp. Vanilla
45 grams melted butter

(Mix well, till sugar is dissolved)




2. In a separate bowl, mix together:

500 grams triple A grade flour
2 tbsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt

(You can also use all purpose flour, of course, but if you want a softer and long lasting dough, then go for the finest flour. I did!)

Incorporate this flour mixture to the yogurt mixture until it forms into a soft dough.






3. Turn it over in a floured surface. (Do not knead)
Just pack it until all ingredients are incorporated.











4. Roll out the dough with a rolling pin to about 1/4 inch thick and using 2 round cutters, form your donuts until all the dough have been used.










5. Let the cut dough rest for about 10 mins on a baking paper lined tray.
While waiting, start to heat up about 400ml of vegetable oil. Depending on how big your pan is, donuts should be immersed in the oil.










6. If you have an oil thermometer - it should be about 350 F or 175 C.

Or to test it, drop one of the small rounds (munchies) it should take about 30 seconds to brown each sides, then your oil is ready.
If too hot, turn down the heat and add a bit more oil to pull down the temp.










7. Fry the donuts until golden brown. Be careful not to overfry them especially if you think you like it crispy. Well done donuts tend to harden faster.

Drain them on paper towels.








8. For quick ones, combine powdered sugar and ground cinnamon (ratio: 8:1) in a plastic box with lid or plain food plastic bag and coat the donuts before serving.

(Normally, I'd do this to the munchies, and maybe put a bit of chocolate powder in there too)




Yield: 30 pieces (depending on how big the cutter is) + the munchies

Meatloaf Express

This is another one of my favorites that I learned to make here in Finland. This is so easy that I make this whenever. I hope you'll like it.
Difficulty: Easy

Mix together:

1 kilo of ground meat. ( you can use all chicken, or mixed with pork or beef)

1/4 cup raisins (optional)
1/2 cup of croutons
1 egg
1/2 cup milk

TIP: The amount of ground meat depends on the size of your baking tins. I need about 1.2 kilos for the moulds I am using.



This is a regular 60 gms pack of onion soup powder.
Pour it over the meatloaf mixture.

No need to add salt. Just a bit of pepper.

For some who couldn't use MSG (monosodium glutamate) use instead:
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 tsp. salt
½ tsp. pepper







I have 2 similar silicon moulds here.











I lined the other one with bacon slices.

The other one, I brushed with vegetable oil and dust it generously with bread crumbs.











Line the moulds with a thin layer of the meat mixture, and lay the 6 minute eggs.













Then cover it with the rest of the mixture.

Place in a 200 degs C pre heated oven for about 25 mins.









Turn the meat loaf over a baking paper on a tray...




















... and put it back in the oven in 300 degs C for about 8 to 10 minutes



















Or until golden brown. Watch it closely so it doesn't burn.













Serves: 6
