Batch Processing French Fries - Homemade Par-Fried French Fries to Save Time & Money!!!
Author: 
Recipe type: Accompaniments
Serves: 1200g
 
On the odd occasion when you have a little spare time, it's a good idea to do a bit of bulk processing that will save you a ton of time later. Bulk processing French fries is really simple, and can save a load of money when compared to bought frozen pre-cut fries.
Ingredients
  • 1200g Potatoes
  • 30g Salt
  • 250ml Cheap white vinegar
  • Boiling water to cover
Instructions
  1. The first step is to peel the potatoes, followed by cutting them into fries of even thickness. You can choose any thickness you like, mine are medium, or about 8mm... if you go thinner cut down the par-frying time, and if you're going thicker, bump it up.
  2. Place the cut potatoes in a mixing bowl, add 30ml of salt and 250ml of cheap white vinegar.
  3. Pour in enough boiling water to cover the fries, give them a quick stir to separate, and allow these to stand for 30 minutes. This gives the time for the vinegar to draw out and neutralize the starch in the chips.
  4. After this time you will visibly see how cloudy the water is.
  5. Strain the fries through a large colander and rinse them thoroughly.
  6. Tip the fries out onto a large dish towel and pat them dry thoroughly.
  7. Heat a large pot or wok of oil to 180c or 350f and fry the chips in batches for 6 minutes per batch.
  8. Transfer the fries to a baking tray lined with kitchen paper and a rack. Allow them to cool for 30 minutes before transferring the pan to your freezer.
  9. After a couple of hours the fries will be frozen solid and it's time to portion them into packets and return them to the freezer.
  10. To cook the chips, fry them from frozen at 180c or 350f until crisp and golden.
  11. You can also bake them like oven chips by placing them in a single layer in a baking tray. Bake them in a preheated oven at 250c until they are crispy and golden, giving them a shake every five minutes to ensure even cooking.

The Most Amazing Hot Dog Recipe - The Incredible Chip Dog - The Hot Dog with EVERYTHING!!!
Author: 
Recipe type: Fast Food
Cuisine: American
Serves: 2
 
Today is the final episode in our short series covering incredible and unusual hotdogs. You can check out the entire series by clicking the info button on the screen. Today's featured hotdog is the inimitable chip dog. Tasty and aromatic cheese griller sausages with fresh lettuce, more cheese and a healthy dose of french fries all wrapped in a tortilla makes for a full meal in one easy to manage package.
Ingredients
For 2 Chip Dogs
  • 4 Cheese griller sausages
  • 2 Handfuls of fresh frilly lettuce
  • 4 Handfuls of ready to fry French fries
  • 80g Mature cheddar cheese, grated
  • 2 x 12 inch (30cm) tortillas
  • Tomato sauce and mustard to garnish
Instructions
  1. To make 2 chip dogs you need 4 cheese griller sausages, 2 handfuls of fresh crunchy frilly lettuce, 4 handfuls of cut french fries, 80g of grated mature cheddar and 2 large tortillas.
  2. Fry the chips until crisp and golden, then transfer them to a low oven to keep warm.
  3. Drop the cheese grillers into the oil and fry these for 60 to 90 seconds. The grillers fry very quickly so keep an eye on them... as soon as they start to blister on the skin, they must be removed from the oil.
  4. Place a tortilla on a large platter and arrange a generous handful of lettuce in a stripe across the center of the wrap making sure some of the frilly ends stick out past the edge of the tortilla.
  5. Arrange a generous helping of the french fries on top of the lettuce.
  6. Garnish the fries with tomato sauce and mustard.
  7. Place 2 of the cheese grillers on top of the fries with a slight overlap and the ends protruding over the edges of the tortilla.
  8. Sprinkle 40g of the cheese over this.
  9. Roll up the tortilla to enclose everything and secure this with 2 toothpicks. Continue with the second dog and serve immediately with the accompaniments of your choice.
  10. And there it is, the inimitable chip dog.... pure art in a wrap.

Fancy Dipping Crackers - How to Make Fancy Crackers for Cocktail Parties and the Big Game Barbecue!
Author: 
Recipe type: Cocktail Snacks / Finger Foods
 
Today we're going to make 3 different fancy dipping crackers that will be real hit at any cocktail party or big game. They are quick and easy to make, they look amazing and will certainly make an impression on everybody.
Ingredients
  • 370g All-purpose flour (or cake flour)
  • 2.5ml Salt
  • 10ml Baking powder
  • 80ml Oil
  • 125ml Water
Instructions
  1. To start, place 370g of all-purpose flour or cake flour in your food processor.
  2. Add 2.5ml or a half teaspoon of salt and 10ml or 2 teaspoons of baking powder.
  3. Pour in 80ml of oil and mix this all on high speed for 15 to 20 seconds. Tilting the machine back and forth while mixing helps to get a good even mix.
  4. Pour in 125ml of water and machine this on high speed until it starts to come together, about 30 seconds.
  5. You can test the dough by pressing it between your fingers. If it holds together it is ready.
  6. Turn the crumbly mass out onto your work surface and compress it into a block. Wrap the dough in cling-wrap and allow this to rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.
  7. After resting, unwrap the dough and cut it into 4 pieces. Flatten each piece into a rectangle.
  8. Working with 1 piece at a time, run these through your pasta roller starting on setting 1 and working to setting 4.
  9. As each sheet is rolled, dust them with flour, trim of the ends to square them up and put these aside until all 4 sheets are rolled.
  10. Attach the tagliatelle cutter to your pasta machine and run 2 of the sheets through the cutter.
  11. Leave the remaining sheets aside.
  12. Fir the twisted dipping straws, simply twist a strand of the cut pasta then transfer it to baking sheet lined with parchment.
  13. Repeat this until half of the cut pasta is used.
  14. To make the dipping spirals, cut rectangles of foil to 12cm by 20cm or 5 inches by 8 inches.
  15. Roll a piece of foil up on a long round object, like a spoon handle, or one of these bag closers.
  16. Twirl a strand of the cut dough at an angle around the foil.
  17. Remove the foil from the handle and transfer this with the pasta twirl to the baking sheet.
  18. Continue until all of the spirals are complete.
  19. For the dipping spoons, first dock the dough sheet by pricking holes in the dough. Cut the dough sheets into triangular shapes across the width of the sheet.
  20. Arrange the triangles on a baguette pan with the handles of the spoons, or the thin end draped ove the high ridge of the pan.
  21. Bake the crackers in a pre-heated oven at 250c or 480f for 5 to 7 minutes until crispy and lightly golden.
  22. And there we have it.... 3 different styles of dipping crackers to make your partly platters shine.

In today's episode we're going to be making a hot dog that really stands out from the crowd. Frankfurter sausage with crispy fried streaky bacon, flipped egg and salad all served on a length of crusty baguette makes for a breakfast of note.... this is the breakfast dog.
Ingredients
For 2 Breakfast Hotdogs
  • 2 Frankfurter sausages
  • 4 Rashers streaky bacon
  • 2 Eggs
  • 30ml Butter for frying
  • Salad greens
  • 1 French baguette
  • Tomato sauce and mustard (or sauces of your choice)
Instructions
  1. To start, cut your baguette at an angle into lengths just a bit shorter than the frankfurters.
  2. Turn these length-ways and make 2 cuts downward, 1 third of the width of the roll in from either edge.
  3. Remove the center section of the roll.
  4. Butter the flat faces on the inside of the roll.
  5. Place a generous dose of salad leaves into the channel of each roll and put these aside.
  6. Cut angled incisions into the frankfurters with each incision going about 2 thirds of the way through the sausage.
  7. In addition, unpack 4 rashers of streaky bacon and 2 eggs.
  8. Heat a large pan over medium high heat and add 30g or 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the sausages and bacon to the pan.
  9. Fry the bacon until it is crispy and golden, and the sausages until the crisp up on the edges.
  10. When the bacon and sausages are almost ready, crack the eggs into the pan.
  11. Use your lifter to break the yolks and spread them across the whites of each egg.
  12. Also press in or fold the edges of the whites to form a long rectangular shape.
  13. By this stage the bacon can be removed from the pan and kept warm.
  14. Flip the eggs to cook the top side. The tops only need to fry for 30 seconds.
  15. Lift one of the eggs from the pan and place length-ways on one of the baguettes.
  16. Line the inside edges of the baguette with 2 slices of crispy bacon and fill the remaining space with a frankfurter. Continue with remaining dog.
  17. And there it is... a full breakfast in a crispy baguette. Simply garnish with the condiments of your choice and serve.

Today we're going to make a hybrid hotdog.... or the simplest sausage roll ever. A hotdog sausage wrapped in puff pastry with tomato sauce and mustard is amazing, however there is a trick to making this work, otherwise you will end up with a gooey mess.... and here it is...
Ingredients
For 6 Hotdogs
  • 6 Vienna sausages
  • 2 x 400g Rolls puff pastry
  • Tomato sauce (ketchup)
  • Mustard
  • 1 Egg, beaten
Instructions
  1. Slice the vienna sausage at an angle all the way down the length of the sausage.
  2. Flip the sausage over and repeat this.
  3. When the sausage bakes in the pastry with the sauces, the sauce pulls in to the sausage instead of making the pastry wet and doughy.
  4. Continue with this until all of the viennas are cut.
  5. Unroll the puff pastry and place a vienna at the end of the roll.
  6. Give the vienna a dose of tomato sauce and mustard.
  7. Use the plastic separator yo roll up the puff pastry to enclose the vienna.
  8. Press down the edges of the pastry, and trim off the sausage roll.
  9. Add another sausage to the pastry and continue the process until all of the sausage rolls are formed.
  10. From a standard 400g pack of puff pastry, you should get 3 rolls. Simply multiply out the recipe to get the quantity you require.
  11. Line a baking sheet with parchment and transfer the sausage rolls to the sheet.
  12. Brush the hybrid hotdogs with beaten and bake them in a preheated oven at 200c or 400f until crispy and golden and nicely puffed up.
  13. Serve the baked hotdogs immediately with the accompaniments of you choice.

Fish Nuggets - How to Make Golden, Crispy Fish Nuggets - Homemade Fish Nuggets
Author: 
Recipe type: Seafood / Fish
 
These fish nuggets are out of this world. Spiced up with cracked black pepper and cayenne, they can serve as a main course, as part of a seafood platter, or as snacks at a cocktail party... and if you omit the cayenne pepper, kids will love them too.
Ingredients
  • 800g Monkfish, or any firm white fish
  • 250g All-purpose flour
  • 30ml Cracked black pepper
  • 15ml Cayenne pepper
  • 15ml Fine salt
  • 4 Eggs
Instructions
  1. Starting with the coating, combine the salt, cracked black pepper and cayenne pepper with the all-purpose flour and stir this until totally combined.
  2. Place the eggs in a jug and whisk these thoroughly until all of the albumen has broken down.
  3. Pour the eggs into a large bowl.
  4. For the fish, I am using monkfish, but you can use any firm fish.
  5. Remove the fillets from the spine and cut the fish into bite-size pieces.
  6. To coat the nuggets, start by sprinkling a layer of the seasoned flour over a large platter. This is where the coated fish will set, and the thin layer of flour will prevent the coating from sticking to the platter and getting damaged. Put this aside.
  7. Drop 6 to 8 pieces of fish into the seasoned flour and toss them to coat. This dries the surface of the fish in preparation for the egg. Transfer these to another platter and continue until all of the fish has had its first coating.
  8. Working with one nugget at a time, dip the nugget in the egg to wet all of the flour, then transfer it to the flour to get a good solid coating all over. Transfer this to the setting platter and continue until all of the nuggets are coated.
  9. Allow the coating to set for 20 minutes before continuing.
  10. Half fill a large pan with oil and heat this to 160c or 320f. Carefully lower the nuggets into the oil and fry the fish for 3 minutes until crispy and golden. Use a slotted spoon to remove the nuggets from the oil and drain any excess oil on kitchen paper.
  11. For this quantity of fish, you will need to fry the nuggets in 2 or 3 batches.
  12. Serve the nuggets immediately with lemon or lime wedges and dipping sauces and accompaniments of your choice.

How to Make Long Eggs - Long Cylindrical Eggs Made Easy!!!
Author: 
Recipe type: Eggs / Breakfast / Salads
 
Long eggs allow you to slice uniform cooked egg slices to dress salads, garnish breakfast, and simply confuse your guests. After visiting a long egg factory, I decided to see whether it was possible, and practical to make these at home without all the fancy equipment.
Ingredients
  • 4 x Large eggs
Equipment Required
  • 1 x Elastic band (long, or more joined)
  • 1 x 100ml Measuring cylinder
  • 1 x 250ml Hi-ball tumbler
  • 1 x Digital pot or pot on induction range
Instructions
  1. To start, separate the egg yolks from the whites and whisk both thoroughly.
  2. Loop the elastic over one handle of your pot, stretch it across the pot and loop it over the other handle.
  3. Place the high-ball tumbler in the center of the pot.
  4. Invert the measuring cylinder and position this in the center of the tumbler.
  5. Lift the elastic band and position this across the center of the measuring cylinder. This will prevent the the tumbler and cylinder from floating when the pot is filled with water.
  6. Pour the egg white into the space between the cylinder and the tumbler.
  7. Fill the pot with hot water until the water level is about a half inch above the level of the egg white.
  8. When I say hot water, the water must be around 60c or 120f. If it is too hot, the tumbler could crack. This heat also prepares the tumbler for the heat to come.
  9. Set the temperature of your pot or induction cooker to 85c.
  10. Place a thermometer into the pot to monitor the temperature. When the temp hits 80c,start your timer. 30 minutes after this point, the egg white will be sufficiently set.
  11. Remove the elastic band. Carefully remove the measuring cylinder from the egg white leaving the set egg white with a gaping tunnel all the way through it.
  12. It helps the jiggle the cylinder back and forth to allow a little air down the side of the cylinder to break the vacuum below.
  13. Place a funnel into the center of the egg white and pour in the egg yolk until it is level with the top of the white.
  14. By this stage the temperature of the water will be at your target of 85c.
  15. Allow this to cook for a further 35 to 40 minutes.
  16. Towards the end of this time, you can test the egg yellow with a skewer. When it comes out of the yellow dry, the yolk has set properly.
  17. Remove the tumbler from the water.
  18. Using the handle of a dessert spoon press the handle carefully down the side of the egg. Work your way all the way around the edge of the egg.
  19. This will allow air into the glass and the egg will slide out much easier.
  20. All that remains is to slice your cylinder egg slices....

How to Make Egg Rolls - Egg Rolls au Gratin - Superbly Tasty Egg Rolls
Author: 
Recipe type: Eggs / Breakfast
 
Egg rolls are an all-time favorite. These eggs rolls reign supreme in the realm of egg rolls, and whether you serve them as finger snacks or as an accompaniment to breakfast, you will never be disappointed.
Ingredients
  • 4 Large eggs
  • 1 Tomato
  • 50g Good quality aged salami
  • 50g Finely shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 100g finely shredded mature cheddar cheese
  • 45ml Snipped garlic chives
  • 15ml Butter for frying
  • Salt and cracked black pepper to taste
  • Cayenne pepper for garnishing
Instructions
  1. To start, slice the tomato into thin slices.
  2. Slice the cured, aged salami into 1mm slices.
  3. Finely shred the Parmesan cheese.
  4. Whisk the eggs thoroughly... there must be no albumen visible in the egg.
  5. Finely shred the mature cheddar cheese, and snip about 3 tablespoons of fresh garlic chives.
  6. Add a tablespoon of butter to a 32cm pan. When the butter is sizzling, spread it around to coat the base of the pan.
  7. Pour in the egg and swirl it around to spread it evenly across the pan.
  8. Sprinkle 2 thirds of the chopped chives over the egg, followed by half of the shredded Parmesan cheese.
  9. Spread the thinly sliced salami across the egg, followed by the second half of the Parmesan cheese.
  10. Arrange the thinly sliced tomato around the edge of the pan with any leftover slices in the center.
  11. Season the whole lot with salt and cracked black pepper and remove the pan from the heat.
  12. Slide the egg from the pan onto a large chopping board.
  13. Sprinkle half of the mature cheddar cheese over the egg.
  14. For this part, you need teflon fingers.... starting on one side, roll the egg up as tightly as you can. If you don't have heat-proof fingers, allow the egg to cool for a few minutes first.
  15. Trim off the ends of the roll. This step is the most important of all.... put the ends in your mouth and enjoy the first taste.
  16. Cut the remaining roll into slices of 15mm or 3 quarter inch thick.
  17. These can be served just the way they are, but going the extra mile makes them extra special....
  18. Transfer the rolls to a baking sheet and sprinkle the second half of the cheddar cheese over the rolls.
  19. Place the pan in the center of your oven with just the grilling element on full blast for 5 minutes.
  20. Serve the egg rolls au gratin sprinkled with dusting of cayenne pepper and garnished with the remaining snipped chives.

Super Extra Crispy Deep Fried Chicken Wings - These Chicken Wings are Unbelievably Crispy and Yummy!
Author: 
Recipe type: Chicken
 
Just a week or so ago we published the super-crispy pigs wings. The video was met with much interest, and quite a few of our viewers asked me to do the same super-crispy coating using chicken wings..... and here it is.
Ingredients
  • 8-12 Full chicken wings (16-24 winglets)
  • Oil for frying
  • 120ml Chicken seasoning of your choice
  • 500ml All purpose flour
  • 30ml Salt
  • 60ml Cornstarch
  • 140ml Chicken stock
  • 2 Eggs
Instructions
  1. To start, trim of the wing tips and cut through the center joint of each wing.
  2. Place the wings in a large pan in a single layer. Sprinkle half of the seasoning of your choice evenly over the wings making sure to coat both sides.
  3. Transfer the wings to a large vacuum bag in a single layer and vacuum seal the bag. It is always a good idea to double seal both ends of the bag.
  4. Place the bag in your dishwasher on the high setting, or 70c, and let this wash for 60 minutes. Alternatively place the bag in a digital pot with temperature control at 70c and let it cook for 60 minutes.
  5. While the wings cook, add the other half of the seasoning to the flour and cornstarch and mix this until combined.
  6. Pour chicken stock into the seasoned flour a little at a time, using a whisk to mix it into the flour. If the whisk gets clogged, simply clear it and continue until all of the stock is added.
  7. Put this aside to dry a little while the chicken completes its cycle in the dishwasher or pot.
  8. Once the cycle completes, get into the coating with your hands and break down any bits that are too big.
  9. Remove the wings from the bag. Notice that there is almost no weight loss.
  10. Whisk the eggs in a large bowl. Working with one wing at a time, dip the wing in the egg to wet it all over.
  11. Drop the chicken into the coating and dredge it to get a good solid coating all over.
  12. Transfer the coated wing to a platter to set while you continue with the rest of the wings.
  13. Allow the coating to set for 20 minutes before continuing.
  14. Half fill your wok or large pan with oil and heat this to 160c or 320f.
  15. Fry the wings for 4 to 6 minutes until super-crispy and golden.
  16. Remove them from the oil and drain any excess oil on kitchen paper.
  17. Serve the wings immediately and savor the incredibly crispy and tasty treats.

Bacon, Mushroom and Chive Dipping Sauce - Simply the Best Dip Recipe EVER!!!
Author: 
Recipe type: Cocktail Snacks / Party Snacks
 
Today we're going to make the most amazing dip I have ever tasted. This bacon, mushroom and chive dip works equally well as a spread, as a filling for baked potatoes and even as a topping over steaks.
Ingredients
  • 400g White mushrooms (you can also use Portabellini or Porcini)
  • 200g Good quality oak or hickory smoked streaky bacon
  • 30g + 30g Butter
  • 250ml Cultured sour cream
  • 250g Cream cheese (Chive flavored)
  • (add 30ml of finely chopped fresh chives if you cannot find flavored cream cheese)
  • Crostini to serve
Instructions
  1. Chop the mushrooms into thin slices and put these aside.
  2. Cut the streaky bacon across the grain into thin slices. Try to use properly smoked bacon as this adds a tremendous depth to the flavor of the dip.
  3. Heat a large pan over medium high heat and add the bacon.
  4. Stirfry the bacon for 5 to 6 minutes until it starts to caramelize on the edges.
  5. Add the mushrooms along with 30g of butter. Continue to stirfry this for 2 minutes.
  6. Add a further 30g of butter. Continue to stirfry the mixture until deep golden and caramelized. This will take 6 to 8 minutes.
  7. Transfer the bacon mushroom mixture to a tall jug.
  8. Add the sour cream and chive flavored cream cheese to the jug. If you cannot find flavored cream cheese, simply add 30ml of finely chopped fresh chives to the mixture.
  9. Use your stick blender to zap this all until fine.
  10. To serve, slice a few French rolls into slices and toast them lightly under the grill in your oven until lightly golden.
  11. Arrange the slices around a platter accompanied with the best dip ever.
