In fact, I probably would make this several times this week, except Chris and I have just got back from a blissful weekend break in Barcelona, and I NEED to recreate some of the gorgeous food we stuffed ourselves silly with whilst we were there. Chris’ mum took the kids away for a few days to Wales, so we pretty much had the plane tickets booked before she finished her sentence of ‘we’d like to take the children away…....
If you are an orange chicken fan, then today’s recipe is a must try. What Is Orange Chicken? Orange chicken is one of many iterations of Chinese takeout dishes that involve fried chicken pieces tossed with sauce. In this case, the sauce is a mix of soy sauce, water, and orange juice, plus some cornstarch thickener to make the sauce just thick enough to coat the chicken. The key to giving the sauce a great orange flavor isn’t just the orange juice, though; it’s the orange zest, so don’t skip that ingredient!...
These smoked red jalapeños add pizzazz to almost anything grilled. Fold minced chipotles into your burger mixture, form patties, and grill. Top the burgers with melted jack cheese, sliced avocados, and a little cilantro. If you want even more heat, double down and add strips of roasted poblano chilies. What Are Chipotles in Adobo? Chipotle peppers are ripened red jalapeño peppers that have been smoked until they’ve dried and lost most of their moisture (a process that can take several days)....
(Or do as I do and eat this as a meal!) Roasted Cauliflower Cauliflower is just a great blank canvas to do all sorts of things with. It soaks up flavour well, it can be simmered in sauces (like curry), roasted (try this Parmesan Roasted Cauliflower next time), pan fried, blitzed to make Cauliflower Rice or pureed to make creamy low-carb Cauliflower Mash. It can also be lavished with a cheesy, creamy sauce for the ultimate Cauliflower Cheese!...
Oh deliciousness! The title says it all. While it doesn’t taste like cookie dough, it has a good cookie dough cream cheese flavor. It is absolutely delicious and somewhat addicting. We love it when it is extra cold and can just eat it with a spoon. Cooking Lesson: Cream cheese is an American invention brought about in the late 1800s by a guy who was trying to duplicate the French cheese Neufchatel....
I’ve made this one with a peppermint whipped cream filling, rich chocolate ganache on the outside, and a crushed peppermint candy sprinkled on top, giving it a particularly festive, wintry air. The light, springy cake practically melts in your mouth. If you’re looking for a show-stopper dessert for your holiday table, this is it. I based the sponge cake part of this recipe on a classic chocolate genoise. This style of cake doesn’t contain any leaveners, like baking soda or baking powder....
I started the week off with Cottage Pie, wedged in a Stovetop Mac and Cheese on Wednesday and am finishing off the week with this Chocolate Self Saucing Pudding. It seems that this week was Comfort Food Week here on RecipeTin Eats and I missed the memo. My own memo.😂 When I was younger, I was so fascinated with self saucing puddings. I always thought they were magical. One batter transforming into a cake that looks so innocent when it comes out of the oven, then when you break into it – boom!...
Swiss meringue buttercream, on the other hand, is light, luxurious, easy to make, and perfectly pipe-able. It’s far less sweet than American buttercream and has an irresistible silky texture. I used it to frost this Chocolate Layer Cake—a crowd favorite in my family. If you’re looking for a frosting to smooth over a cake or pipe into rosettes, a Swiss meringue buttercream is the answer to your cake decorating prayers....
My husband lived in Italy a couple different times growing up. In our religious culture we don’t drink coffee or alcohol so there were numerous Italian grandmothers and mothers from church who would make similar chocolate variations of tiramisu. While this may not be the way most Italians enjoy it, I can promise you there are numerous ones who do! Watch the video to wet your appetite and see just how I make this fun dessert....
My mother is hispanic by ancestry and looks, and even though she doesn’t speak a drop of Spanish she still cooks what she was taught by her mother, grandmother and relatives, growing up in Tucson, Arizona. Thus we alone on our block had chorizo, or Mexican sausage scrambled up with eggs. I didn’t even know that chorizo was the name of the sausage and not the dish until I was in my twenties....
It’s spicy, soft, and usually some crazy vibrant orange red color from the chili the meat is mixed with. There’s almost always some in the fridge; my mother typically uses this sausage to mix in with scrambled eggs for breakfast. This week we tried our hand at a chorizo version of mac and cheese. (As if regular mac and cheese wasn’t good enough, hah!) Aye aye aye, this turned out great!...
What kind of rice should I use in Cilantro Lime Rice Pilaf? Any all purpose long or shot grain white rice is acceptable. Do not use any easy-cook or specialty rices like arborio, minute rice, or quick rice. Can this recipe be made with brown rice? Yes it can, but the steaming time on the rice will need to be increased significantly. Instead of 15 minutes, steam the rice with the lid on for 50 to 60 minutes....
Babka is a traditional Jewish bread from Eastern Europe. It was originally a clever way to use up extra dough by layering it with sweet fillings like cinnamon or jam when making challah, a braided enriched bread. While it’s long been a staple of Jewish delis and bakeries in New York City, babka has exploded in popularity in the last several years thanks to a new style created at Breads Bakery, a popular bakery chain....
Karen Martini is a great Australian chef known for her contemporary takes on traditional food, in particular Middle Eastern, Mediterranean and classic English. She is the founding chef of Sydney’s famous Icebergs Dining Room and Bar located at Bondi Beach, the author of 3 hugely popular cookbooks, owner of Mr Wolf pizzeria in Melbourne as well as a TV presenter. What I love about Karen Martini is that she keeps the base flavours of traditional foods authentic but adds something simple to make it extra special....
First we toss strips of pork loin in a rub of cumin, salt, pepper, and garlic, and let that sit for a bit while we get the water going for the pasta and prep the other ingredients. Then we quickly brown the pork in a little olive oil. This almost cooks the pork through, so we remove it from the pan to make the sauce. The sauce comes together with chicken broth, orange juice, a little vinegar, soy sauce, and sugar, which we simmer with carrots until they are cooked through....
What Is Ratatouille? Ratatouille is a classic summer dish from the South of France. It’s essentially a stew of vegetables, including tomatoes, eggplant, summer squash, bell pepper, onions, and garlic. The trick to the best ratatouille is to cook the vegetables separately, then combine and cook them together at the end. This way the individual vegetables get the right amount of cooking they need, and they cook together long enough for the flavors to blend....
If you’ve ever experienced any of these, this post will help you. Many of the questions below troubleshoot chocolate chip cookies and other drop cookies, but the tips and tricks will also apply to cut-out cookies, gingerbread, and even crinkle cookies. Why Did My Cookies Spread Out in the Oven? When cookies spread and come out too flat, it’s often because the butter was too soft or melted. It could also be that the recipe doesn’t have enough flour....
Do you know where much of our citrus comes from during the summer and fall months? Chile! That’s right: When it’s summer here, it’s winter in Chile, so Chilean lemons, mandarins and navel oranges are readily available. Today we’re excited to share some of our favorite citrus recipes that are sure to amp up the flavor and nutrition of just about anything. Let’s dig in! How to Use Citrus in the Kitchen While you might typically eat your favorite citrus fruits out of hand, there are some easy ways to incorporate lemons, mandarins and navel oranges into your everyday cooking....
Our Copycat-Chick-fil-A nuggets are good and all, some may even call them great – but the only way to eat the nuggets is with a generous side of this sauce! It is sweet, tangy, and mustard-y, and we cannot get enough of it. While it goes perfectly hand-in-hand with the nuggets, you can use this sauce on almost any chicken – and you really should. It is just that darn good....
