  • Savory Cabbage and Carrot Frittata with Mozzarella

    Savory Cabbage and Carrot Frittata with Mozzarella

    Savory Cabbage and Carrot Frittata with Mozzarella

    Table of Contents

    Ingredients
    Here are the ingredients you’ll need for this delicious frittata:

    Vegetables and Herbs:

      • 1/2 cabbage (approximately 600g, finely shredded)
      • 1 onion (finely chopped)
      • 2 carrots (grated)
      • A few sprigs of parsley (finely chopped, for garnish)

    Batter:

      • 4 eggs
      • 4 tablespoons of flour
      • 1/4 cup of milk (50 ml)
      • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
      • 1 teaspoon of baking powder
      • 1 teaspoon of salt
    • 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
    • 1 teaspoon of oregano

    Cheese:

      • 100g of mozzarella cheese (shredded)

    Making It Step by Step

    Step 1: Prepare the Vegetables

    Start by prepping your vegetables. Finely shred the cabbage using a knife or a food processor. Grate the carrots and finely chop the onion and parsley. Set them aside. This mix of vegetables will add color, crunch, and nutrition to your frittata.

    Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables

    Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until soft and translucent. Add the shredded cabbage and grated carrots to the pan. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage softens and the carrots are tender. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Once cooked, remove the vegetables from the heat and set them aside to cool slightly.

    Step 3: Prepare the Egg Batter

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until they are well beaten and slightly frothy. Add the flour, milk, olive oil, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and oregano to the eggs. Whisk everything together until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. This batter will bind the vegetables together and give the frittata its fluffy texture.

    Step 4: Combine the Vegetables and Batter

    Once the sautéed vegetables have cooled slightly, gently fold them into the egg batter. Make sure the vegetables are evenly distributed throughout the mixture. This will ensure that each bite of the frittata is packed with flavor and texture.

    Step 5: Add the Mozzarella Cheese

    Fold in the shredded mozzarella cheese, reserving a little to sprinkle on top of the frittata. The mozzarella will melt as the frittata cooks, adding a delicious creaminess to the dish.

    Step 6: Cook the Frittata

    Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease an oven-safe skillet or baking dish with olive oil. Pour the vegetable and egg mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese on top.
    Place the frittata in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the frittata is set and the top is golden brown. To check if it’s done, insert a toothpick or knife into the center; it should come out clean when the frittata is fully cooked.

    Step 7: Garnish and Serve

    Once the frittata is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and extra flavor. Serve the frittata warm, either on its own or with a side of salad, bread, or yogurt for a complete meal.

    Cooking Tips

      • Vegetable Variations: Feel free to add other vegetables to the mix, such as bell peppers, spinach, or zucchini. Just be sure to sauté them before adding them to the batter to remove excess moisture.
      • Cheese Options: If you prefer, you can swap out mozzarella for other cheeses like cheddar, gouda, or feta. Each will give the frittata a different flavor and texture.
      • Even Cooking: To ensure the frittata cooks evenly, avoid overloading the batter with too many vegetables or cheese. Stick to the proportions in the recipe for the best results.
    • Make It Spicy: If you like a bit of heat, you can add a pinch of chili flakes or cayenne pepper to the egg batter for a spicy kick.

    • In the Freezer: You can also freeze this frittata. Once it’s completely cooled, slice it into individual portions, wrap each piece in plastic wrap, and store them in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 2 months. To reheat, thaw overnight in the fridge and then reheat in the oven or microwave.

  • Lemon Custard Layered with Savoiardi Biscuits

    Lemon Custard Layered with Savoiardi Biscuits

    Lemon Custard Layered with Savoiardi Biscuits

    Table of Contents

    Ingredients

    For the Dessert:

    • Savoiardi biscuits: 200 g
    • Milk: 100 ml (for soaking the Savoiardi biscuits)

    For the Lemon Custard:

      • Eggs: 2 large
      • Lemon juice: 30 ml (approximately 2 tablespoons)
      • Sugar: 60 g
      • Cornstarch: 50 g
      • Milk: 500 ml (for the custard)
      • Condensed milk: 2 tablespoons
    • Butter: 30 g

    Instructions (Step-by-Step)

    Step 1: Prepare the Lemon Custard

      1. Separate the eggs: Begin by separating 2 large eggs into yolks and whites. Place the yolks in a medium bowl and set the whites aside for another recipe or discard them if not needed.
      2. Mix the egg yolks and sugar: Add 60 g of sugar to the egg yolks and whisk together until smooth and pale. This should take about 2-3 minutes of vigorous whisking.
      1. Add the lemon juice and starch: Once the egg yolks and sugar are well combined, add 30 ml of lemon juice and 50 g of cornstarch. Whisk until smooth, making sure there are no lumps.
      2. Heat the milk: In a medium saucepan, heat 500 ml of milk over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Be careful not to let it boil.
      3. Temper the egg mixture: Slowly pour a small amount of the hot milk into the egg mixture, whisking constantly. This will help prevent the eggs from scrambling. Gradually add the rest of the hot milk while whisking continuously.
    1. Cook the custard: Pour the entire mixture back into the saucepan and return it to medium-low heat. Stir constantly with a whisk or spatula until the mixture thickens and reaches a smooth, pudding-like consistency. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
    2. Add condensed milk and butter: Once the custard has thickened, remove it from the heat. Stir in 2 tablespoons of condensed milk and 30 g of butter. Mix until the butter is fully melted and the custard is smooth. Set the custard aside to cool slightly.

    Step 2: Assemble the Dessert

      1. Soak the Savoiardi biscuits: Pour 100 ml of milk into a shallow bowl. Quickly dip each Savoiardi biscuit into the milk, making sure not to soak them for too long, as they can become too soggy. The biscuits should be moist but still hold their shape.
      1. Layer the biscuits: In a serving dish or individual dessert cups, arrange a layer of soaked Savoiardi biscuits at the bottom.
      2. Add a layer of custard: Spoon a generous layer of the lemon custard over the biscuits, spreading it evenly.
      3. Repeat the layers: Continue layering the soaked Savoiardi biscuits and custard until you run out of ingredients. The top layer should be custard.

    Step 3: Chill and Serve

    1. Chill the dessert: Cover the dessert with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or until it is fully set and chilled. This allows the flavors to meld together and the custard to firm up.
    2. Garnish and serve: Before serving, you can garnish the dessert with a sprinkle of lemon zest, a dusting of powdered sugar, or some fresh berries for added flavor and decoration.

    Cooking Tips

      • Soaking the biscuits: When soaking the Savoiardi biscuits in milk, be sure to dip them quickly. They absorb liquid very fast and can easily become too soggy if left in the milk for too long.
      • Make it tangier: If you prefer a stronger lemon flavor, feel free to increase the amount of lemon juice to 40 ml. You can also add some lemon zest to the custard for an extra citrusy punch.
      • Use a double boiler: If you’re worried about curdling the eggs while making the custard, you can use a double boiler to gently heat the custard mixture. This method provides more control over the temperature and helps prevent the eggs from cooking too quickly.
      • Add vanilla: For a richer, more complex flavor, you can add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the custard mixture when cooking it. Vanilla pairs beautifully with lemon.
    • Serving ideas: This dessert can be served in a large trifle dish, in individual cups, or even as a layered dessert in glass jars for a beautiful presentation.

    Storage

      • Refrigeration: Store the dessert in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 3 days. Make sure to keep it chilled until ready to serve, as the custard needs to stay cold.
      • Freezing: This dessert does not freeze well due to the custard’s delicate texture. It is best enjoyed fresh and chilled from the fridge.

    Nutritional Insights and Serving Suggestions

    These chocolate-topped buns with pistachios are not only a treat for the taste buds but also offer some nutritional benefits.

    Key Ingredients:

    Milk: Provides calcium, vitamin D, and protein, essential for bone health and growth, especially for children.

    Yeast: Besides helping the dough rise, yeast adds B vitamins and some minerals to the buns.

    Eggs: A great source of high-quality protein and various essential vitamins and minerals, including vitamin B12, riboflavin, and selenium.

    Pistachios: These nuts are rich in healthy fats, protein, fiber, and antioxidants. They add a delightful crunch and nutritional boost to the buns.

    Tips for Perfect Buns

      1. Proper Yeast Activation: Ensure the milk is warm, not hot, to activate the yeast effectively. Hot milk can kill the yeast, while cold milk won’t activate it properly.
      1. Kneading: Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic to develop the gluten structure, which helps in getting soft and fluffy buns.
      2. Rising Time: Let the dough rise in a warm place. If your kitchen is cold, you can place the bowl in a slightly warm oven or near a warm spot in your house.
      3. Topping Spread: Ensure the topping mixture is spread evenly over the buns to achieve a uniform chocolate flavor and an appealing look.

    Serving Suggestions

      • Breakfast Delight: Serve these buns warm with a glass of milk or hot cocoa for a delightful breakfast treat.
      • Tea Time: Pair with a cup of tea or coffee for an indulgent afternoon snack.

    • 30 g (2 tbsp) butter
    • 250 ml (1 cup) milk
    • 40 g (⅓ cup) corn starch
    • 250 ml (1 cup) cream
    • 150 g (⅓ cup + 2 tbsp) condensed milk

    Step-by-Step Instructions

    1. Prepare the Bananas

    Start by slicing the 3 bananas into thin, even pieces. The slices should be small enough to cook through quickly and break down easily into a smooth puree.

    Fry the Bananas

    In a large frying pan, melt 30 g of butter over low heat. Once the butter has melted, add the banana slices to the pan. Cook the bananas gently for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they soften and become lightly caramelized. The gentle frying process enhances the natural sweetness of the bananas and brings out a rich, buttery flavor.

    2. Make the Banana Base

    Once the bananas are soft, use an immersion blender to blend them into a smooth puree. You can also use a regular blender if you prefer. The goal is to create a creamy, lump-free banana mixture.

    Add Milk and Cornstarch

    Pour 250 ml of milk into the banana puree and add 40 g of cornstarch. Stir the mixture well to ensure the cornstarch dissolves completely, avoiding any lumps. Cornstarch will act as the thickening agent, giving the mousse its silky texture.

    3. Thicken the Banana Mixture

    Transfer the banana mixture to a saucepan and cook it over medium heat. Stir constantly to prevent the mixture from sticking to the bottom of the pan. Cook until the mixture thickens into a smooth custard-like consistency, which should take about 5-7 minutes. Once thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat.

    4. Cool the Custard Base

    Pour the thickened banana mixture into a bowl. To prevent a skin from forming, cover the surface of the custard base directly with plastic wrap (in contact). Set it aside to cool to room temperature.

    5. Whip the  Cream and Condensed Milk

    While the custard base is cooling, prepare the cream mixture. In a separate bowl, whip 250 ml of cream with 150 g of condensed milk using a hand mixer. Beat until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. The cream should hold soft peaks, but be careful not to overwhip it, as you want a smooth, airy texture for the mousse.

    6. Combine the Cream and Banana Mixture

    Once the banana custard base has cooled, beat it with a mixer until smooth. Gradually fold the cooled banana custard into the whipped cream and condensed milk mixture. Continue to gently mix and beat the ingredients until they are fully combined, creating a light and creamy mousse.

    7. Chill and Serve

    Transfer the banana mousse into a pastry bag for easy serving. You can pipe the mousse into individual serving glasses or bowls for an elegant presentation. Alternatively, simply spoon the mousse into your preferred serving dishes.

    For the best results, chill the mousse in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and gives the mousse a more structured texture.

    Optional Toppings

    For extra flavor and texture, you can garnish the banana mousse with a sprinkle of cocoa powder, grated  chocolate, or even chopped nuts. Fresh banana slices or a drizzle of caramel sauce also make excellent finishing touches.

    Crispy Fried Vegetable Fritters

    Table of Contents

    Ingredients

    • 2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 2 tablespoons corn flour
    • 1/2 tablespoon yeast
    • 1/2 tablespoon salt
    • 1/4 tablespoon turmeric powder
    • 1/4 tablespoon black pepper
    • 1/4 tablespoon cumin
    • 1 cup warm water (you may need more if the batter is too thick)
    • 1 egg
    • 1 cup spring onions, chopped
    • 3/4 cup coriander, chopped
    • 1/4 cup carrot, grated
    • 1 small  potato, grated
    • Oil for frying

    Step-by-Step Instructions

    Step 1: Prepare the Batter

    1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the 2 cups of all-purpose flour2 tablespoons of corn flour1/2 tablespoon of yeast1/2 tablespoon of salt1/4 tablespoon of turmeric powder1/4 tablespoon of black pepper, and 1/4 tablespoon of cumin. Mix the dry ingredients well, ensuring all the spices are evenly distributed.
    2. Add Warm Water: Slowly pour in 1 cup of warm water, stirring constantly as you add the water. The mixture should start to form a smooth batter. If the batter is too thick, gradually add more warm water, about a tablespoon at a time, until you reach a thick but smooth consistency. The batter should not be too runny, but it needs to be thin enough to coat the vegetables and allow the fritters to fry evenly.

    Step 2: Add the Vegetables

    1. Beat the Egg: Crack the egg into a small bowl and beat it lightly. Add the beaten egg to the batter and mix well to incorporate it fully.
    2. Incorporate the Vegetables: Now, add the 1 cup of chopped spring onions3/4 cup of chopped coriander1/4 cup of grated carrot, and 1 small grated potato to the batter. Stir until all the vegetables are evenly coated and distributed throughout the batter. The fresh vegetables will give the fritters a delightful texture and flavor.

    Step 3: Let the Batter Rest

    1. Rest the Batter: Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen cloth and let the batter rest for about 30 minutes. During this time, the yeast will activate, causing the batter to rise slightly, which will result in a light and airy texture for the fritters.

    Step 4: Heat the Oil

    1. Prepare for Frying: In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the oil over medium heat. You will need enough oil to deep fry the fritters, so aim for about 1-2 inches of oil in the pan.
    2. Test the Oil: To check if the oil is ready, drop a small amount of batter into the pan. If it sizzles and rises to the surface, the oil is hot enough for frying.

    Step 5: Fry the Fritters

    1. Scoop the Batter: Using a spoon or small scoop, carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan, as this will lower the oil temperature and cause the fritters to cook unevenly. Fry the fritters in batches if necessary.
    2. Fry Until Golden: Let the fritters cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they turn a crispy golden brown. Use tongs or a slotted spoon to flip the fritters halfway through frying, ensuring they are evenly browned on all sides.

    Step 6: Drain Excess Oil

    1. Drain the Fritters: Once the fritters are golden and crispy, remove them from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. This helps keep the fritters light and less greasy.

    Step 7: Serve

    1. Serve Hot: These vegetable fritters are best served hot, straight from the fryer. Pair them with your favorite dipping sauces, such as yogurt dip, spicy ketchup, or a tangy tamarind sauce. They are also delicious on their own or alongside a fresh salad.

    Directions

      1. Preheat the Oven:
