ok so before we get off topic on the other tread i have posted this so we can all add our favorite food and favorite desert...

try and do both... hey maybe we will learn some new things to make...

Recipies are always welcome!!!!


I will start....

Favorite Food:čevapi (pronounced in english like chev-api)




Favorite Desert: Tufahija



Ingredients:

2 kg Yellow Apples
1/2 kg sugar (for macrobiotic version use Brown Sugar, Barley Malt or Rice Syrup)
1,5 dcl white wine
1,5 dcl water
Juice of 1/2 Lemon
15 dkg of Walnuts
1/2 l of cream (or Soya Cream for macrobiotic or vegan version)

Note: You can make Tufahija from just a few apples with less use of sweetener and other ingredients.


If you are using little pot for cooking, put 1/2 kg of sugar and add 3 dcl of water or if you have wine, then 1,5 dcl of white wine and 1,5 dcl of water. And if you are cooking more apples, then use bigger pot and 1 kg of sugar and water to be about 1 cm above the sugar.
While water is on fire start peeling apples. Don't peal all immediately because it will change color.


Remove the middle from apple, with all seeds and little more around. When water starts boiling add lemon juice and put first apples for cooking.
While. u taking care about cooking ones, the same time peal the others and remove middle. Just the number which can be cooked in the pot at the same time.


While apples are cooking use tablespoon to pour water on upper part which is not under water. When lower part become softer turn apples to cook from other side too.


Take care that apple not become too soft, because when u take out apple from cooking water it will continue with softening till not become cold. When u touching apple it should be softer just on outer layer


When all peeling is finished and while cooked apples are cooling, you can grind walnuts. For 2 kg of apples you can need around 15 dkg of walnuts.
When you finish apples cooking , add to walnuts few spoons of water which stayed after cooking. Mix it and add more if it is needed that mixture be smooth and thick.

Mix cream untill become thick.

Add few spoons of cream to walnuts and mix it.
Fill every apple with little coffee spoon. It should be rich with filling.
When all apples are filled, decorate with cream.

Note: For preparing this delicious Tufahija dessert, you can use Golden Delicious Apples or Ida Red. Many kinds of apples cant be cooked in water because they become too soft.

Chot Poti (Chick Peas in Tamarind) Favourite Snack !!!!






Ingredients:
2 cans chickpeas (washed and drained)
1/2 block of fresh tamarind (found packaged in most Indian stores)
1 potato (peeled and diced into about the same size as the chick peas)
Spices: 1/2 tsp chili powder, 1/2 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp turmeric, 1/2 tsp coriander powder
fresh coriander
green chillies
3 eggs (hard boiled) then sliced
1 onion sliced thin like matchsticks
1 tomato
1/4 cucumber

How to:
1. Boil chick peas and potato in water along with 1/2 tsp of all spices as indicated above and 1 level tsp salt.

2. Using a blender, make a sauce with tamarind (having squeezed out the tamarind well), 2-3 green chillies and a handful of coriander leaves.

3. Add only some of the sauce to the chick peas and potatoes and continue to boil until the sauce gets thicker and the vegetables are soft but not mashed. Save the remainder of the tamarind sauce for adding later when serving.

4. Heat up 3 tsps of cumin powder and 1 tsp of chilli powder in a dry fry pan without using any oil. Heat until browned. (You may want to put the extractor fan on at this point).

5. Add just 1/2 of the quantity of the heated cumin and chilli powder to the chot poti (chick peas and potato) leaving the rest for serving later.

6. Before serving, add the matchstick-like onion slices, some sliced cucumber, sliced egg and sliced tomato and then pour into a serving dish.

7. Decorate the top with the remaining egg slices and cucumber slices and sprinkle the warmed spices over the top.

8. Serve with a bowl of the warmed spices on the side, a jug of tamarind sauce, and some chopped green chillies. Guests can add these items as they please when serving themselves a bowl of chot poti.

Pizza all the way...

A great cooked pizza (got to be deep pan) with Sweetcorn, Green Chilli, (spicy chicken or chinese chicken), red onions, black olives and mushorroms.

For desert: Tarte aux pommes (Apple tart) with hot custard or just Ice Cream with Belgian Waffle..


When it comes to lentils, The only one i'll ever eat is kidney beans... I love Kidney Beans (only the way my mother cooks.. she rocks) with boiled white rice!

Uh-oh what is the best thing to use as a substitute for the white wine? I usually use either ginger ale or water mixed with lemon juice. In recipes that call for wine. some times grape juice will work if you omit most of the sugar in the recipe.

Im not sure ginger ale or water with lemon juice would totally change the desert all the alchole is burned out of the wine during the cooking process maybe white grape juce would work if it was natural juice with not additives but i wouldnt cut the sugar.

Baklava



12 oz frozen phyllo dough
3 cups ground walnuts
3/4 cup plain bread crumbs
6 cups granulated sugar
3 tablespoons butter or oleomargarine


Thaw the frozen phyllo dough. A couple of hours is plenty, and you can use the microwave to speed up the process. It is easier to make the baklava if the sheets are relatively sturdy. We are able to find it in 1 pound boxes with 13"x17" sheets, which is a convenient size. Melt the oleo or butter in a small bowl. Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Place a set of four to six sheets of phyllo on the bottom of a 9"x13" pan greased with additional oleo or butter. Cut or fold the sheets of phyllo to fit. If they are thin or stick together, you can add a layer or two. Press the phyllo down a bit with your full hand. On top of the phyllo dab oleo until the surface is about half covered. Sprinkle on about 7T ground walnuts, then about 1 1/2T plain bread crumbs, making a thin layer over the phyllo. Proportions are approximate; suit your personal taste.

Over the phyllo and filling add more layers of phyllo and filling, pressing down a bit with your hand after each layer of phyllo. Finally add one more layer of phyllo on top. If you have a bit more than 12 ounces of phyllo, you can put more sheets into the layers of phyllo. Press down the last layer a bit more firmly. Next cut the uncooked baklava into pieces. We cut into fourths parallel to the long sides of the pan, then a bit on the diagonal. Use a sharp thin knife. You can use your fingers to help hold the dough in place while cutting. Bake this in the oven for 40-45 minutes until it is a medium brown.

While the baklava finishes baking place the sugar with 4 cups of water into a saucepan and boil, stirring gently until the sugar is dissolved and the syrup is a light yellow color. With the baklava and syrup both hot, gently pour the syrup all over the baklava being sure to cover each piece. Allow to cool before serving.

Haha - it does, doesn't it? It's really sinful but oh so delicious! Whenever I feel like having one, I head over to Chili's. I've never baked on but after finding this recipe, I might give it a try!


Molten Chocolate Cakes Recipe:

1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, cut into pieces

6 ounces (170 grams) semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate, cut into small pieces

3 large eggs, separated

1/3 cup (65 grams) granulated white sugar

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar

1 tablespoon granulated white sugar

Molten Chocolate Cakes: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and place rack in center of oven. Generously butter 4 - 3/4 cup (180 ml) molds, ramekins, or custard cups and dust the insides with granulated white sugar. Place the prepared molds on a baking sheet and set aside while you make the chocolate cakes.

In a stainless steel bowl suspended over a saucepan of simmering water, melt the butter and chocolate. Remove from heat and set aside while you whip the egg yolks.

In your electric mixer beat the egg yolks and 1/3 cup (65 grams) sugar until thick, pale, and fluffy. (When you slowly raise the beaters the batter will fall back into the bowl in slow ribbons.) Beat in the vanilla extract and then fold in the melted chocolate mixture.

In another clean bowl whip the egg whites until frothy. Add the cream of tartar and continue to whip until soft peaks form. Gradually add the 1 tablespoon of granulated white sugar and whip until stiff peaks form. With a rubber spatula or wire whisk gently fold the beaten whites into the chocolate mixture, just until incorporated. Do not over mix or the batter will deflate. Divide the batter between the prepared molds, filling about 3/4 full. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until the outside edges of the cakes are set but the middle still looks a little wet. You may have cracks on the top surface of the cakes.

Immediately remove from oven and let them rest for a minute or two. Run a palette or sharp knife around the edge of each cake and then invert onto the center of each serving plate. Carefully remove the mold. Sprinkle the top of each cake with confectioners sugar and place a dollop of softly whipped cream, clotted cream, creme fraiche, or vanilla ice cream on top of each warm cake.

Note: You can prepare the chocolate mixture several hours ahead of time. Simply make the recipe, pour into the prepared molds, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate. Bake just before serving. When the batter is cold the cakes may take a minute or two longer to bake.

Makes 4 - 3/4 cup (180 ml) individual cakes.

My favourite food is very traditional local food:

Finnish Pea Soup



Ingredients:

500 g peas (dried)
3 - 4 l beef broth (from cubes, if you like)
500 g minced meat
1 teaspoon cooking oil
1 tablespoon marjoram
1 tablespoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt (more if needed)

Directions:

Soak peas in water overnight.

Add peas and bring them to a boil in the beef broth.

Add marjoram or thyme.

Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 1 - 1.5 hours.

Heat oil in a pan and on medium heat, add the mince meat and stir fry till nicely browned.

When peas are cooked and mushy add the meat and stir together.

Serve hot, season with salt and mustard.


And dessert...

White Chocolate Cheesecake

Bottom:
170 g unsalted butter
75 g pecans
170 g flour
1 tbsp powdered sugar

Melt the butter. Chop the nuts finely. Combine everything and spread into a buttered springform pan, lined with a round of parchment paper or cut out teflon sheet. (You can attempt to do this without lining, but I wouldn't dare.)

Bake at 175° for 22-25 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove and let cool completely in the pan.

Filling:
200 g cream cheese
300 g white chocolate
25 g sugar
500 ml (2 cups) heavy cream (35-40% fat)

Melt the chocolate. Mix sugar and cream cheese and add the chocolate to this. Beat the cream until it holds soft peaks - don't overbeat it. Fold in with the rest. Pour into the pan, and smooth the top. Refrigerate for at least three hours.

Topping:
500 g strawberries

Trim the strawberries to a fairly even size, and decorate the top of the cake.



:statisfie I will run now to kitchen to make these... as I suddenly feel myself so hungry.

I doubt if I could name a favorite food. My taste seems to change almost hour to hour. But overall I like foods that are either bitter or spicey. Spicey is always a safe choice for me. If one of the ingredients is Haberano peppers I will almost always like it.

I don't have all the ingrediants but for a main dish today my taste buds call for:

Five Meat Habanero Chili



This is my modified version of a Cook-book recipe, the original recipe called
for some haram ingredients such as bacon.



Ingredients
  1. * 4 slices hickory-smoked turkey breast
  2. * 3/4 pound ground beef
  3. * 1 pound bulk ground turkey
  4. * 3/4 pound cubed beef stew meat
  5. * 1 1/2 cups chopped onion
  6. * 2 cloves garlic, minced
  7. * 1 stalk celery, chopped
  8. * 1 to 4(or to taste) habanero peppers, minced,
  9. the original recipe calls for 1/2 habanero and for it to be seeded
  10. * 1/2 large green bell pepper, chopped
  11. * 1/2 large red bell pepper, chopped
  12. * 1 (28 ounce) can tomato sauce
  13. * 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
  14. * 2 cups cubed cooked chicken
  15. * 3 (14.5 ounce) cans fire-roasted diced tomatoes, with juice
  16. * 1 (15 ounce) can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
  17. * 1 (15 ounce) can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
  18. * 1 (15 ounce) can butter beans, rinsed and drained
  19. * salt and pepper to taste
  20. * 3/4 cup sour cream (optional)


Directions

1. Place the smoked turkey in a large pot with a little olive oil, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the turkey slices on a paper towel-lined plate crumble or cut into small pieces. In the same pot, stir in the ground beef, ground turkey, and beef stew meat. Cook and stir until the ground meat is crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink. Drain and set meat aside in a bowl. Discard any excess grease.

2. Reduce heat to medium, then stir the onion, garlic, celery, habanero pepper, green bell pepper, and red bell pepper into the same large pot; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the tomato sauce and cumin, then add the beef and ground turkey mixture, smoked turkey, and chicken. Stir in the diced tomatoes, cannellini beans, pinto beans, and butter beans. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 2 hours. Serve with a dollop of sour cream.

For desert (this I have the ingredients for, actually a prepared mix in a box) is Tiramisu the mix I use is the Oetker brand from Ontario, Canada and for the to be added ingredients I use 1/2 cup Espresso coffee and 1/2 cup fresh cream (We finaly found a neighbor with a milk cow)

but I'm trying to eat more healthy now so I've started going to subway. but I don't feel full up with a subway but I guess your not meant to eat till you feel full.

Be carefull, some of the specials come with pork product on them like pepporoni or salami. I know it sounds weird but I'm like the only Italian inthe world that won't eat pork:phew

I once orders a pizza at my fovorite spot, when the waitress brought it out it had pepperoni all over it. Theyvsaid just take it off....I said NO make me a new pizza!

Hmmm yeah also sometimes when subway is really busy they don't change there gloves so gloves that touch pork also end up touching your food aswell...... always make sure the staff change there gloves when its really busy :statisfie...........though i find subway overpriced and it barely filling to be honest.

There is no pork or salami in Subways where I am from :) so it's all good!

We have non-halal restaurants here but for most fine dining restaurants that I frequent, there is no pork. It's something that I make sure before I proceed to sit down and have a meal there ;)

By your name, i would think you liked a sweet cherry pie? ;D I could be wrong, maybe apple pie?lol

Lucky you! I live in US, they suck down pork here like it's going out of style! It's not common for Christians not to eat pork, My family never has because it's an old testament law, and we still uphold the ones we legally can....sometimes;D....we will tar and feather someone if we get a chance, but they frown upon that here:hmm:, usually an anoying cousin or something;D

I just make sure to ask if it's made with pork or pork byproduct. My wife and her family don't eat it either, but thats also an old Indian cultural thing that ties in with Hinduism. She's a Christian but they just choose to follow it, biblicly too.
