How to Make a Delicious Indian Mustard and Yogurt Chutney
Posted in: Recipes | Comments (0)
This is one of my all time favourite chutneys. It goes with almost every south Indian meal you can imagine as it incorporates so many of the essential ingredients in south Indian cookery. I love to serve it as an accompaniment with barbecued meat and vegetable dishes along with a fresh green salad. You might also enjoy this flavoursome chutney with poppadoms or samosas. The creamy chutney is so full of bright and tangy flavours that anyone trying it will think you’ve slaved for hours. The fact that it only took you 10 minutes is safe with me.The chutney is also great used in other ways. I have used it to marinade chicken and lamb tikka for barbecues. Let the meat marinade for a couple of days for amazing results. I have also used it instead of plain yogurt in naan and other bread recipes. Simply substitute the chutney when asked for plain yogurt and prepare to be amazed at the flavour of your fresh bread.Serves 4Preparation Time: 10 minutesINGREDIENTS250ml (1 cup) fresh plain yogurt
2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 Teaspoon turmeric
1 Tablespoon mustard seeds
3 fresh curry leaves (optional) Don’t use dried curry leaves for this recipe
3 Tablespoons finely chopped mint leaves
1 Tablespoon honey or fine caster sugar
1 inch piece of ginger – finely chopped
1 clove garlic – smashed and finely chopped
Juice of one limemethodIn a bowl, mix the yogurt, chopped mint leaves, honey or sugar, ginger and garlic.Using a fork, really beat the yogurt mixture hard so that it becomes very smooth and creamy.Now, in a small saucepan, pour in the two tablespoons of vegetable oil. Heat over medium heat and then add the mustard seeds. When they begin to pop, pour in your 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric and the curry leaves if using.Pour the hot oil over the yogurt mixture and whisk quickly so that the yogurt doesn’t curdle. The chutney will turn a soft yellow colour.Add the lime juice and stir well to combine.Once you’ve tried this mustard and yogurt chutney, you are probably going to want to experiment. Try adding other ingredients that you like. Add chopped green onions or a tablespoon of cumin, for example.Be sure to let me know how you used it. Did you like it?

Carrot Cake Like Grandmother Makes
Posted in: Recipes | Comments (0)
Carrot Cake like grandmother makes, where did it come from? When my wife and I first met I was not to much of a cake eater. Lemon pie was my favorite but, when she gave me a slice of her carrot cake I became a cake eater on the spot. Carrot cake may be eaten plain, but it is commonly either glazed or topped with white icing or cream cheese icing and pecans or walnuts, usually chopped. It is often coated with icing or marzipan made to look like carrots. The cake is popular in loaf, sheet cake and cupcake form, but round layer is probably the most popular.According to some people carrot cake is a misleading name, they say the cake more closely resembles a quick bread in method of preparation. All the wet ingredients, such as the eggs and sugar, are mixed together, all the dry ingredients are mixed together, and the wet are then added to the dry and final consistency which is usually denser than a traditional cake and has a coarser crumb. My wife says you mix the dry ingredients then mix theminto the wet. Difference of opinion makes the world go round.Carrots have been used in sweet cakes since George Washington crossed the Delaware River, during which time sweeteners were scarce and expensive, while carrots, which contain more sugar than any other vegetable besides the sugar beet, were much easier to come by and were used to make sweet desserts. The origins of Carrot Cake are disputed but it is thought to come fromSweden. Now my wife says it came from her grandmother and she probably got it from her grandmother.The popularity of carrot cake was likely revived in the UK because of rationing during the Second World War.Carrot cake was not generally available in restaurants and cafeterias in the U.S. in early 1960. They were initially a novelty, but they were so loved that carrot cake became standard desserts. In 2005. The Food Network list carrot cake with cream cheese icing as their number five of the top five food craze of the 1970s. When my wife worked for a large insurance company different departments would bring snacks for break periods. When it wasmy wife’s department turn she would make carrot cupcake and take them to the office. Later when she went to work for a small attorney’ office instead of doughnuts she would bring her cupcakes.Carrot cake is often referred to by some folks as Passion cake and I can see why once you taste it. Many carrot cake recipes include optional ingredients, such as nuts, raisins, pineapple, or coconut. The most common icing on carrot cake is a cream cheese icing. Now if you want a really greatcake recipe you have come to the right place because we are going to tell how to make a 3 layer Cake like grandmothers make.Carrot Cake3 Cups grated carrots
4 eggs

How To Make A Healthy Lean Meatloaf
Posted in: Recipes | Comments (0)
What you will find in this recipe is essentially a new spin on a low-fat, infinitely healthier way to prepare a meatloaf that is also infused with flavor. The ground mushrooms supply the moisture that leaner cuts of ground beef and veal usually lack, ensuring a juicier meatloaf.Ingredients are:
(1) 1 pound button mushrooms, brushed of dirt
(2) 3/4 pound ground round of beef
(3) 1/2 pound ground veal
(4) 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (not quick cooking)
(5) 1/4 cup pasteurized egg substitute
(6) 2 tablespoons minced dry onion
(7) 2 teaspoon rubbed sage
(8) 2 teaspoon dried thyme
(9) 1 teaspoon salt
(10) 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
(11) 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
(12) 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, optional
(13) 1 medium tomato, sliced paper thinPreheat oven to 350 degrees.Place the mushrooms in a food processor fitted with the chopping blade. Pulse once or twice to chop lightly, then process until ground to the consistency of very coarse meal. If you don’t have a food processor, chop the mushrooms with a large knife until they look like fine meal, moving knife all over the cutting board as you rock it back and forth.Scoop a handful of the ground mushrooms into some paper towels. Form a closed packet, then squeeze over the sink to remove all excess moisture. You may have to turn the packet several ways to get all the moisture out of the mushrooms, particularly if your hands are small. Place the squeezed mushrooms in a large bowl and repeat with the remaining ground mushrooms, working in batches.Making sure hands are clean, crumble the ground rounds and ground veals into the bowl, stir well, and add the oats, egg substitute, onion, sage, thyme, salt, garlic powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper, if using. Work the mixture through your fingers, squeezing gently until ingredients are well blended and of a uniform consistency.Shape the mixture into a small loaf, about 8 inches long, like a small football. Place the loaf in a medium baking dish and lay tomato slices over the top, overlapping as necessary to form a line of slices along the length of the loaf.Bake until well brown and firm, about 50 minutes; an instant read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the loaf should read 165 degrees. Let stand 5 minutes at room temperature before slicing and serving.

How To Make A Smoked Salmon Roll With Sesame Toasted Seeds on Top
Posted in: Recipes | Comments (0)
Place the sushi mat inside of the gallon sized plastic freezer bag, this ensures that the sushi rice does not become embedded into the mat, and is easy to clean up when you make sushi from home. We want this to be simple to prepare, but look extravagant, so the less work, the better. Lay the Nori seaweed square on top of the plastic covered sushi roll mat. Wet your hands thoroughly. Add a handful of prepared sushi rice in the middle of the Nori and gently spread the rice out to the edges.Press down gently on the rice and flip the Nori over so that the rice side is down. Make sure to have the rest of your ingredients out and ready for this step. Lay the ¼” by ¼” slice of cream cheese to the Nori side of the sushi roll. I generally cut the cream cheese to about 75% of the length of the Nori sheet and then stretch it out to the edges. This adds an amazing creamy texture to the salty and savory smoked salmon. I know that you will agree that this is easily the best sushi recipe to use for salmon sushi available to make sushi at home. Next we are going to add the salmon to our Salmon sushi roll recipe, doubling the thin strip up to add extra salmon in the middle of the roll.Make sure that there is a good balance of smoked salmon and cream cheese in each bite of the Salmon sushi roll. I love the flavor combination provided by including both smoked salmon and cream cheese in a dish. It definitely makes for the best sushi on earth. Sprinkle the fresh cut crisp green onions across the length of the Nori sheet next to the cream cheese and smoked salmon combination. The aroma and crispiness of these onions adds a fresh flavor to the sushi roll that cannot be beat. The spiciness of the roll increases as you add more crisp green onions, so don’t overdo it. Roll the sushi mat over the roll, away from you, creating a nice seal with the rice, and press down gently. You want a tight, firm roll as it adds to the appearance, and the ease of eating for this roll. Roll it again to ensure that it is fully sealed. Sprinkle sesame seeds across the top of the sushi rice, but don’t overdo it! Sesame seeds are potent and can dominate the flavor of this sushi roll.Using a wet serrated knife, cut the Salmon sushi roll in half once, then each of those pieces in half again, and again until there are eight equal pieces of this delicious cooked sushi roll. Make sure to wipe the knife off between cuts so that the knife does not stick to the rice or Nori, and you’re your creation. Place all of the sushi roll pieces onto a square or decorative plate in an ornate pattern. The patterns that you can create with this are endless. The coloring of this sushi dish requires nothing more than appropriate and balanced placement on a classic black plate. The beauty of this roll stands alone.
What if you could make your own sushi? I know how hard it can be to try something new, but if you want to really impress family and freinds you’ll need to learn my simple method that works amazingly well. This method is simple to pick up and will take some practice, you can read or watch a video on how to do it here: Sushi Recipes. Don’t give up hope, it’s NOT impossible.

How to Make a Pie Is Knowing How to Make Pie Crust and Meringue Recipe
Posted in: Recipes | Comments (0)
Learning how to make a pie can sometimes feel overwhelming. If even one detail is overlooked or poorly executed, it can often result in failure. These tips should make your pie a hit every time.Pie Crust 101Often a homemade pie is dubbed a failure because the crust was too dense or because it just wasn’t flavorful. Whatever the reason it ends in failure, it usually involves the crust. By following these tips, you can learn how to make a pie with perfect crust:
Make sure all your ingredients are very cold. The colder the ingredients, the flakier your crust will be.
If you handle the dough too much, it will cause excessive gluten formation and will make tough dough that is difficult to roll out.
Chill the dough before rolling it out. For easy rolling, flatten the crust before placing it in freezer.
Use as little flour as possible when rolling out dough.
To make your crust extra-crispy brush it with water and sprinkle with sugar before baking.
To make your crust shiny brush it with a beaten egg combined with two tablespoons cream.
Cut vents in the top of crust to allow steam to escape
Bake pies on the lowest rack in your oven so that the bottom crust gets adequate time to cook without overcooking the top crust.
Pie Filling 101If not properly prepared, pie filling can become runny and cause the crust to be soggy. The following ideas will help you learn how to make a pie with a perfect filling:
To avoid the starchy flavor that cornstarch and flour tend to give fruit fillings, try using arrowroot, potato starch or tapioca starch.
If you are using a very juicy fruit, you can soak the fruit in 2-3 tablespoons of sugar and then strain off the excess liquid. In addition, you can cook the pie directly on the bottom of the oven to ensure a crispy crust.
If your fruit filling is still runny when the crust is done, allow the pie to cook for another 5-10 minutes, making an aluminum foil tent to keep from burning the crust.
Use drained juices from canned or frozen fruits instead of water.
Meringue 101When making meringue, a number of different problems can cause your fluffy concoction to deflate. To keep your meringue from falling short, remember these tips:
Plastic bowls are not suitable for making meringue, because even though it may appear that they are clean, they tend to hold on to greases and oils which will destroy a meringue. Ceramic, glass, or stainless steel bowls work best.
Room temperature eggs will whip to higher volume than cold eggs. However, cold eggs provide for easier separation. To solve this problem, use cold eggs and allow them to sit for 10-15 minutes before whipping.
Any trace amount of yolk can ruin your meringue, so carefully separate eggs in individual bowls to avoid this problem.
Sausage-Apple PieOnce you’ve learned how to make a pie with a good pie crust, then you can experiment with non-fruit pies. After all, it’s the same pie crust that you use for a cherry pie that you use for a pot pie or meat pie.Mix a pound of pre-cooked breakfast sausage, quarter cup of chopped onion, one egg, one chopped apple and pour into a pie pan, on top of the bottom unbaked pie crust. Sprinkle a quarter-cup of shredded cheddar cheese and cover with the top pie crust. Seal the edges, cut steam slits in the top crust and bake at 350°F for an half an hour, or until the crust is golden brown and the center cooked through.It may seem like a lot of work to learn how to make a pie, but the end result will justify the effort. Once you perfect your technique you will see it’s as easy as pie!

Gently squeeze the strips between fresh paper towels to remove any excess moisture, but take care not to crush or tear them.6. Build the lasagna by sprinkling the bottom of the prepared baking dish with 1 teaspoon whole wheat brad crumbs. Lay 1/3 of the zucchini slices in the bottom of the pan, overlapping as necessary. Spoon 1/3 of the red sauce over them, then spread 1/2 the cheese mixture over the sauce. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon bread crumbs, then layer with 1/2 the remaining sauce over them, then spread the rest of the cheese mixture over the top. Sprinkle with remaining 1 teaspoon bread crumbs. Finish with remaining zucchini sauce. Sprinkle with grated parmesan.7. Bake until bubbling and quite hot, about 50 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
