How to Make Moroccan Preserved Lemons - Middle Eastern Cuisine, Moroccan Preserved Lemons
Author: 
Recipe type: Preserves
Cuisine: Moroccan
 
Preserved lemons are widely used in Middle Eastern cuisine to add a unique flavor and tang to curries and tagines. The process of making your own preserved lemon is quick and easy, however you will have to wait for a month to pickle before using them. This is how to do it....
Ingredients
  • 850g Lemons
  • 55g / 60ml Coarse Kosher salt / Himalayan rock salt
  • 250ml Lemon juice
  • 250ml Lime juice
  • Extra water to top up
Instructions
  1. To start, you will need 250ml of lemon juice and 250ml of lime juice, 55g or quarter cup of coarse kosher salt, or Himalayan rock salt, and 850g of lemons.
  2. Cut down through each lemon twice, leaving just about 5mm uncut at the base.
  3. Open a lemon up and drop a proportionate amount of salt into the lemon. In other words, if you have 6 lemons, drop one sixth of the coarse salt into the lemon.
  4. Continue until all of the lemons are filled.
  5. Transfer the lemons to a sterilized 1.5 liter preserve jar. Pack them tightly.
  6. Pour in the lemon and lime juices and top the jar up with filtered water until the lemons are covered.
  7. Close the lid, and you're finished. Place the jar in a cool dark cupboard for a full month before using.
  8. Stay tuned, as in a month when these are ready to use, we will be doing a couple of Moroccan curries and tagines using these preserved lemons.

How to Make Mrs Ball's Chutney - Easy to Make Mrs Ball's Chutney Recipe
Author: 
Recipe type: Preserves and Sauces
Cuisine: South African
Serves: 5-6kg
 
Mrs HS Ball's Chutney is one of South Africa's greatest contributions to the culinary world. In SA it is a household name, and it is also exported to North America, the UK, Europe, Australia and New Zealand. This is how to make your own Mrs Balls chutney at home.
Ingredients
  • 650g Dried peaches
  • 250g Dried Apricots
  • 1 Liter + 1.25 liters Brown grape vinegar
  • 2.5kg White sugar
  • 500g Onion chopped
  • 120g Salt (Kosher, non-iodated)
  • 75ml Cayenne pepper
  • 30ml Dried chilli flakes
Instructions
  1. To start, place 650g of dried peaches and 250g of dried apricots in a large bowl.
  2. Pour a liter of brown grape vinegar over the dried fruit. Stir the fruit around briefly to separate and get everything submerged.
  3. Cover the bowl and allow this to stand for 24 hours, giving it a stir every few hours during this time.
  4. The following day the fruit will have absorbed almost all of the vinegar. Strain the fruit in a colander, and save any syrup that runs into the catch bowl.
  5. Transfer the fruit to your food processor and machine this until almost fine. The texture should resemble that of ground beef.
  6. Tip the ground fruit into a bowl, add the reserved syrup and stir this in.
  7. To continue, chop 500g of onion, measure 120g of salt, 75ml of cayenne pepper and 30ml or 2 tablespoons of dried chilli flakes.
  8. Place all of these along with the ground fruit into a large pot. I am using a digital pressure cooker without the lid.
  9. Pour in 1.25 liters of brown grape vinegar and stir until everything is well combined.
  10. Pour in 2.5kg of white sugar and stir this until the sugar has dissolved.
  11. Bring the por to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer and allow this to continue cooking for about 2 hours until it has thickened to a syrup, glossy sauce. It will darken substantially during this time as well.
  12. Sterilize your bottles in your dishwasher and pour the hot chutney into the hot bottles. Put the lids on and you're done.
  13. Enjoy your chutney with any type of curry, with burgers, hot dogs.... in fact just about any food enjoys a splash of Mrs Balls chutney.

Mega Cheese and Bacon Deep Fried Onion Rings - Deep-Fried Onion Rings Filled with Cheese & Bacon!!!
Author: 
Recipe type: Deep-fried
 
Whether you present these incredible deep-fried onion rings as a starter or as an accompaniment to your main course, these crispy golden packages will have your guests talking for decades. This is how to make them....
Ingredients
  • Streaky bacon
  • Large Onions
  • Processed cheese slices
  • All-purpose flour (seasoned with salt and white pepper to taste)
  • Eggs
  • Oil for deep-frying
Instructions
  1. To start, top, tail and peel the onions.
  2. Cut the angled ends from the onions, leaving you with the more cylindrical center section of the onions.
  3. Keep all of the off-cuts for salads or stir-fries.
  4. Working from the outside ring of each onion, separate the rings, grouping the first ring and third ring as a pair, and the second and fourth as a pair.
  5. Notice when you place the smaller ring of the pair inside the larger ring, that there is a sizeable gap. This is exactly what we want.
  6. Cut a slice of the processed cheese into strips and line the inside of the bigger onion ring with the cheese.
  7. Take a slice of streaky bacon and repeat this exercise.
  8. Press the smaller ring into the larger ring and the first ring is done. Continue until all of the rings have been processed.
  9. To coat the rings, first sprinkle a layer of seasoned all-purpose flour over a large platter. This is where the coated rings will set, and the flour prevents the rings from sticking to the platter and getting damaged.
  10. Pour a couple of cups into a large dish and beat a few eggs in a jug.
  11. Dredge the ring in the flour. This will dry any damp spots on the ring.
  12. Dip the ring in the egg to wet it all over.
  13. Dredge the ring in the flour to coat it all over.
  14. Return the ring to the egg to wet all of the flour.
  15. Then back into the flour for a final, good solid coating.
  16. Transfer this to the platter to set.
  17. Continue with the remaining rings. Allow the coated rings to set for 20 minutes.
  18. Half fill a large pan or wok with oil and heat this to 170c or 340f.
  19. Carefully lower the rings into the oil in batches and fry them for 5 to 7 minutes until crispy and golden, turning them over every 60 seconds.
  20. Use a slotted spoon to remove the rings from the oil and drain any excess oil on kitchen paper.
  21. Serve the rings while piping hot and enjoy.
  22. And there it is, a beautiful crispy golden onion ring filled with melted cheese and bacon.

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.

Pickled Gherkins - How to Make the Perfect Pickled Gherkins for Burgers and Sandwiches
Author: 
Recipe type: Preserves
Serves: 1.8kg
 
Nothing quite completes a burger like pickled gherkins. The sweet and tangy taste along with the crunchy texture seems to elevate any burger to new heights. This is how to make the perfect burger pickles...
Ingredients
  • 1.2kg Crunchy gherkins (or mini-cucumbers)
  • 45ml (3Tbs) Kosher salt
  • 1 Liter white vinegar
  • 110g White sugar
  • 15ml (1Tbs) Coriander seed
  • 15ml (1Tbs) Hot mustard seed
  • 45ml (3Tbs) Black peppercorns
  • 2 Bay leaves
Instructions
  1. To start, top and tail 1200g of gherkins.
  2. Zap the gherkins through the thinnest slicing disc of your food processor.
  3. Place the sliced gherkin in a large non-reactive bowl and pour in 45ml of salt, a little at a time, mixing it in between applications.
  4. Put this aside and allow it to stand for 60 minutes.
  5. While the pickles stand, place 110g of sugar, 15ml of coriander seeds, 15ml of mustard seeds, 45ml of black peppercorns, 2 bay leaves and a liter or white vinegar on a medium size pot.
  6. Bring the mixture to a boil, lower the heat to simmer, and allow this to continue for 30 minutes.
  7. After this time, strain the mixture through a sieve and put this aside.
  8. Back to the gherkins. Drain the water that has drawn from the gherkins and pour in a liter of fresh water. Mix the gherkins around in the water to rinse.
  9. Half fill a large baking tray with hot water and stand your bottles in the tray. The hot water will eliminate the risk of shocking the glass jars when the hot vinegar is poured in.
  10. Fill the jars to just below the brim with the sliced gherkins.
  11. Pour in enough of the vinegar solution to cover the gherkins.
  12. Close the jars and allow them to cool in the hot roasting pan.
  13. The pickles will last indefinitely stored in a cool cupboard, however they should be refrigerated after opening.

Total time: 
Serves: 20-30
 
Peppadews, and registered brand Peppadew originate in South Africa and must be undoubtedly South Africa's greatest culinary contribution this century. These piquant pickled peppers have a thousand different and delicious applications and today we're going to look at one of my favorites.... peppadew poppers. These are very similar to chilli poppers, but with a unique flavor all their own, and far less fire.
Ingredients
  • 100g Blue Cheese
  • Yogurt (approx. 45-60ml)
  • 20-30 Pickled peppadews
  • ½ Cup Finely crushed cornflakes
  • ½ Cup All-purpose flour
  • 2 Eggs
Instructions
  1. Starting with the filling, add just enough yogurt to a 100g of strong blue cheese to make a paste. The paste must be just thinned enough to be pipe-able.
  2. Use a fork to mix this until smooth.
  3. Spoon the creamy mixture into a piping bag.
  4. Use the edge of a ruler to squish the cheese down the bag, then snip about 10mm or just less the a half inch from the tip of the bag.
  5. Use the ruler again to press the mass of cheese down to the tip.
  6. For the coating, whisk 2 eggs thoroughly until all of the albumen has broken down.
  7. Combine the finely crushed cornflakes and all purpose flour.
  8. You will need to count out 20 to 30 pickled peppadews and drain the syrup from them.
  9. Use the filled piping bag to pipe the cheese mixture into each peppadew.
  10. To coat the poppers, sprinkle a layer of the cornflake mixture over a large platter. This where the coated peppadews will set, and the crumbs will prevent the coating from sticking to the platter and getting damaged.
  11. Working with one popper at a time, roll the popper in the crumb mixture.
  12. Transfer this to the egg to wet all of the crumb.
  13. Then back to the crumbs to get a good solid coating all over.
  14. Transfer this to the platter to set and continue with the rest of the poppers.
  15. Allow the coating to set for 20 minutes.
  16. Half fill your wok or a large pan with oil and heat this to 180c or 350f.
  17. Carefully drop the poppers into the oil in batches. The poppers will fry very quickly... about 45 to 60 seconds.
  18. Use slotted spoon to lift the golden poppers from the oil and drain any excess oil on kitchen paper.
  19. Continue frying the remaining poppers.
  20. Serve the poppers piping hot and enjoy....

How to Make Potato Crisps - Best Recipe Homemade Potato Crisps - Super Crispy, Super Tasty!!!
Author: 
Recipe type: Potatoes
 
Potato crisps are a tote favorite across the globe. Today we're going to look at how to make low carb potato crisps that are super crispy and super tasty.
Ingredients
For the Flavor Powder
  • 30ml Dried mixed herbs (Italian or Herbs Provence)
  • 2.5ml Garlic powder
  • 2.5ml White pepper
  • 5ml Salt
For the Crisps
  • 2-4 Large potatoes
  • 3 Liters water
  • 60ml White vinegar
  • 30ml Salt
Instructions
  1. Place the mixed herbs, garlic powder, fine ground white pepper and salt in your spice grinder. The fine powders help the grinder grind the herbs to powder by adding extra resistance in the chamber.
  2. Transfer the fine blend to a sprinkle bottle.
  3. To cut the potatoes in thin slices, you can use a regular potato peeler, however these slices are too thin and will over-brown before crisping.
  4. Better than the regular is the ceramic peeler which will give you slightly thicker slices. The problem with this is that if you go even slightly skew, the wafers will be horribly uneven, resulting in burnt edges.
  5. The best way to achieve perfect slices is with a very sharp thin blade knife. Cut the slices to 1mm thickness.
  6. Transfer the sliced potato to a mixing bowl and pour in 3 liters of water.
  7. Add the salt and white vinegar and mix this around yo separate all of the potato wafers.
  8. You will immediately see the vinegar liberating the starch from the potato.
  9. Allow this to soak for 30 minutes.
  10. Drain and rinse the potatoes and lay them out flat on a clean dish towel.
  11. Place another towel over these and pat them dry.
  12. Half fill a large pan or wok with oil and heat this to 180c or 350f.
  13. Carefully drop the wafers in to the oil. As the crisps fry you will notice that the violent frying as the water content is driven from the potato becomes more and more gentle.
  14. Within a couple of minutes the crisps will be causing no frying reaction at all, and they will be crisp and golden.
  15. Remove the crisps from the oil and drain on kitchen paper.
  16. Continue with any remaining potato wafers.
  17. As the crisps cool they will crisp up even more.
  18. Transfer them to a large roasting tin. Sprinkle the flavoring powder over the crisps and toss them around gently to coat.
  19. Sprinkle again to cover any blind spots, toss again, then serve with a dipping sauce of your choice.
  20. And the we have it.... a mountain of awesomely crisp, golden, low carb potato crisps ready to be snacked.

Deep Fried Mash Potato Croquettes - Super-Crisp on the Outside, Soft & Creamy on the Inside!!!
Author: 
Recipe type: Potato
Serves: 24
 
Yesterday we looked at delicious oven baked mash potato. Today we're going to make crispy deep-fried mashed potato croquettes. This recipe can be made equally successfully with instant mash or real homemade mash.
Ingredients
  • 500g Cooked and mashed potato (or instant)
  • 100g Diced pepperoni or salami
  • 250ml All-purpose flour
  • 6 Eggs, beaten
  • 500ml Fine breadcrumbs
  • Oil fry deep-frying
Instructions
  1. Mix the diced pepperoni into the potato. You can experiment with all sorts of alternatives here.... flaked fish, smoked chicken, or really anything you fancy.
  2. Cover the mash and allow it to cool to room temperature.
  3. Place 2 x 12 hole silicon mini muffin pans on a baking sheet.
  4. Fill the holes with potato mixture.
  5. Transfer the muffin trays to your freezer until the potato pucks are frozen solid.
  6. To coat the croquettes, pop a potato puck from the mold.
  7. Dip it in the egg.
  8. Dredge it in the flour to coat, then back into the egg to wet all of the flour.
  9. Dredge the potato in the breadcrumbs to get a good solid coating, then transfer it to large platter that has been sprinkled with breadcrumbs. The layer of breadcrumbs prevents the croquette from sticking to the plate which would result in damaged coating.
  10. Continue this process until all of the croquettes are coated. Allow the coating to set for 20 minutes before continuing.
  11. Half fill a large pan or wok with oil and heat this to 160c or 320f.
  12. Carefully drop the croquettes into the oil in batches and fry each batch for 4 to 5 minutes until super-crisp and golden.
  13. Remove the croquettes from the oil and drain on kitchen paper.
  14. And there it is.... a whole load of amazingly crispy, golden and tasty deep-fried potato croquettes.
