Mozzarella Onion Rings

Ingredients:

• • 100g Mozzarella cheese
  • 1 onion

• • 50g flour
  • 100g bread crumbs
  • 2 eggs

• Cooking oil

Directions:

Prepare the Cheese and Onion:

1. 1. Slice the Cheese: Slice 100g of mozzarella cheese into strips that are about 0.5 cm wide and long enough to fit inside the onion rings. Set aside.
   2. Slice the Onion: Peel and slice 1 onion into rings about 1.5-2 cm thick. Separate the onion rings and choose pairs with a 0.3-0.5 cm difference in diameter. This will allow you to sandwich the mozzarella strips between the rings.

Assemble the Onion Rings:

1. Stuff the Onion Rings: Place a mozzarella strip inside the gaps between each pair of onion rings. Ensure the cheese fits snugly and is completely enclosed by the onion rings to prevent it from leaking out during frying.

Prepare the Coatings:

1. 1. Set Up Coating Stations: Prepare three bowls:
      • • Bowl 1: 50g of flour.
        • Bowl 2: Crack 2 eggs into the bowl and whisk them well.

       

      • Bowl 3: 100g of bread crumbs.
   2. Coat the Onion Rings:
      • • First, coat each stuffed onion ring in flour, ensuring all sides are covered.

       

      • Next, dip the floured onion ring into the whisked eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.
      • Finally, coat the ring in bread crumbs, pressing gently to adhere. For extra crispiness and to prevent cheese leakage, repeat the egg and bread crumb coating step.

Fry the Onion Rings:

1. Heat the Oil: Heat cooking oil in a deep pan or fryer over medium heat. The oil should be deep enough to submerge the onion rings.
2. Fry Until Golden Brown: Carefully place the coated onion rings into the hot oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even frying.

Drain and Serve:

1. 1. Drain Excess Oil: Remove the fried onion rings from the oil and place them on a paper towel to drain any excess oil.

1. Serve Hot: Serve the mozzarella onion rings hot, and enjoy the gooey, cheesy goodness!

Tips and Sharing:

• • Cheese Alternatives: Try using other types of cheese like cheddar or pepper jack for a different flavor profile.
  • Dipping Sauces: Serve the onion rings with a variety of dipping sauces such as marinara, ranch, or spicy aioli for an extra layer of flavor.

• Make Ahead: You can assemble the onion rings ahead of time and freeze them before frying. Simply fry them straight from the freezer, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
• Storage: Leftover onion rings can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat them in the oven or air fryer to maintain their crispiness.
• Customization: Add your favorite spices to the bread crumbs for an extra kick. Paprika, garlic powder, or Italian seasoning work well.

      • Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

1. 1. First Rise:

        • Sprinkle the cranberries and raisins evenly over the dough.

       

      • Roll the dough tightly from the long side, creating a log shape.

      • Gently twist the two pieces together, keeping the filling side facing up.

        • Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

       

   4. Cool and Serve:
      • Allow the bread to cool slightly in the pan before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.

Chocolate-Coated Peanut and Cookie Balls: A Delightful No-Bake Treat

Ingredients

For the Filling:

• 500g (17.6 oz) cookies, crushed
• 120g (4.2 oz) peanuts, crushed
• 120g (½ cup) sugar
• 60g (½ cup) cocoa powder
• 250ml (1 cup) milk
• 150g (⅔ cup) butter
• A pinch of vanillin (or a few drops of vanilla extract)

For the Glaze:

• 80g (2.8 oz) dark chocolate
• 80g (2.8 oz) milk chocolate
• 20ml (1 ½ tbsp) vegetable oil
• 50g (1.8 oz) peanuts, chopped

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Filling

• Crush the Cookies and Peanuts: Begin by crushing 500g of cookies into small pieces. You can do this using a food processor or by placing the cookies in a plastic bag and crushing them with a rolling pin. Once crushed, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Then, crush 120g of peanuts until they are roughly chopped, and add them to the bowl with the cookies. Stir them together to ensure even distribution.
• Make the Chocolate Mixture: In a medium-sized saucepan, combine 250ml of milk, 120g of sugar, 60g of cocoa powder, and a pinch of vanillin or a few drops of vanilla extract. Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring continuously until the sugar is completely dissolved.
• Add the Butter: Once the sugar has dissolved, add 150g of butter to the saucepan. Stir until the butter has melted and the mixture is smooth and well combined.
• Combine with Cookie-Peanut Mixture: Pour the warm chocolate mixture over the crushed cookies and peanuts in the mixing bowl. Stir thoroughly until all the dry ingredients are evenly coated with the chocolate mixture, and the consistency is thick and sticky enough to form into balls.

2. Shape the Balls

• Form the Balls: Using your hands, scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls, about the size of a walnut. Place each ball on a tray lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
• Chill the Balls: Once all the balls are shaped, place the tray in the refrigerator or freezer for about 30 minutes. This helps firm up the balls, making them easier to coat with the chocolate glaze.

3. Prepare the Chocolate Glaze

• Melt the Chocolate: In a heatproof bowl, combine 80g of dark chocolate and 80g of milk chocolate. Add 20ml of vegetable oil to the mixture, which will help the chocolate glaze remain smooth and shiny once set. Melt the chocolate and oil together using a double boiler or in the microwave in 20-30 second intervals, stirring in between until completely melted and smooth.
• Add the Peanuts: Stir in 50g of chopped peanuts into the melted chocolate. This adds extra texture and enhances the nutty flavor of the coating.

4. Coat the Balls

• Dip the Balls: Remove the chilled cookie-peanut balls from the fridge. Using a fork or a skewer, dip each ball into the melted  chocolate glaze, making sure it is fully coated. Let any excess chocolate drip off before placing the ball back on the tray.
• Set the Coated Balls: Once all the balls are coated, place them back in the fridge for the chocolate glaze to harden. This should take about 20-30 minutes.

5. Serve and Enjoy

Once the chocolate coating has firmed up, your delicious chocolate-coated peanut and  cookie balls are ready to be served! You can arrange them on a platter for a party, pack them in a gift box for a homemade present, or store them in an airtight container in the fridge for a delightful snack whenever you crave something sweet and crunchy.
