Super Crispy McDonald's Style Hash Browns - Golden Crispy Hash Browns at Home!!!
Author: 
Recipe type: Potatoes / Fast Food
Cuisine: American
 
Hash browns make an amazing snack, accompaniment or garnish while adding a delicious crunch to any meal. These hash browns are particularly crispy and crunchy and unlike most hash browns the crispiness lasts for ages.
Ingredients
  • 4 Medium potatoes
  • 60ml White vinegar
  • 60ml Corn starch
  • 60ml Rice flour
  • 5ml Ground white pepper
  • 5ml Garlic flakes
  • 5ml Salt
  • Oil for frying
Instructions
  1. Peel the potatoes and grate them using the coarse side of the grater.
  2. Place the grated potato in a mixing bowl and add the vinegar. Mix this in briefly and allow the potato to stand for a couple of minutes.
  3. Pour in enough boiling kettle water to cover the potato and allow this to stand for 5 minutes. The vinegar liberates the starch from the potato while the hot water dissolves the separated starch. You will actually see the milky starch in the water.
  4. Drain the shredded potato and rinse it thoroughly under cold running water. Squeeze most of the excess water from the potato and return it to the mixing bowl.
  5. Pour in the cornstarch and rice flour a little at a time, mixing it in thoroughly after each addition.
  6. Pour in the ground white pepper, garlic flakes and salt and mix these in thoroughly.
  7. Pour the potato out into an 8 inch or 20cm square baking tin.
  8. Spread the mixture out evenly compressing it and flattening it as you go.
  9. Use the back of a spoon to smooth out the surface.
  10. Transfer the pan to your refrigerator for 60 minutes. This chills the mixture while the flour autolyses.
  11. After 60 minutes transfer the pan to your freezer for 30 minutes.
  12. Remove the pan from the freezer and turn the potato out onto a chopping board.
  13. Use a sharp knife to cut the potato into 9 equal squares. You can leave them as squares, or cut each one in half diagonally to make triangles.
  14. Fill a large pan with oil to a depth of a half inch and heat this to 180c or 350f.
  15. Carefully drop the hash browns into oil and fry them for 15 to 20 minutes turning every few minutes to ensure even coloring.
  16. Remove the hash browns from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain any excess oil on kitchen paper.
  17. Season the hash browns with fine salt and serve immediately.

Super-Crispy Deep-Fried Onion Rings. How to Make Perfect Fried Onion Rings!!!
Author: 
Recipe type: Vegetables / Deep-fried
 
Onion rings can be the best or worst accompaniment for burgers or grills. Unfortunately more often than not battered onion rings turn out as oil soaked UFO's that repeat on you for days afterwards. This recipe gives the foolproof solution, and the perfectly crispy, tasty and aromatic onion rings ever.... with much less oil residue.
Ingredients
  • 1 Large onion
  • 250ml Full-cream milk
  • 45ml Cornflour
  • Oil for frying
For the Coating
  • 250ml All purpose flour
  • 10ml Garlic powder
  • 5ml Hot smoked paprika
  • 5ml Salt
  • 2.5ml Hot English Mustard powder
  • 2.5ml Ground white pepper
Instructions
  1. Top and tail and peel the onions and slice them into half inch thick rings. Carefully remove the first three rings from each round. You can use the inner rings for salads or soups.
  2. For the coating, combine the all purpose flour, garlic powder, hot smoked paprika, salt, hot English mustard powder and ground white pepper.
  3. In a jug, whisk together the cornflour and milk and pour this into a dish.
  4. Dip each onion ring into the milk solution then dredge it in the flour mixture. Transfer the rings to a platter.
  5. Once the first coating is complete, sprinkle some of the flour mixture over a large platter. This is where the coated onions will set, and the layer of flour prevents the coating from sticking to the platter and getting damaged.
  6. Dip each ring in the milk solution again, then into the flour to get a good solid coating. Transfer the coated rings to the platter. Allow the coated onions to set for 20 minutes.
  7. Fill a large pan with oil to a depth of 1 inch and heat this to 180c or 350f.
  8. Carefully drop the rings into the oil and fry them for 5 to 6 minutes turning halfway through.
  9. Remove the rings from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain any excess oil on kitchen paper.
  10. Serve the onion rings immediately, or keep them warm in your oven at 70c or 158f until required.

How to Make Jalapeno Tabasco Sauce - Making Green Tabasco Sauce at Home!!!
Author: 
Recipe type: Sauce / Hot Pepper Sauce / Tabasco
Cuisine: American
 
Tabasco sauce is legendary and has become a household name in just about every country across the world. Today we're going to make the Jalapeño version of Tabasco, but if you have access to Tabaso chillis, you can use these if you prefer. This recipe does not take 3 years like the original Tabasco recipe does, but will yield a sauce that tastes almost exactly the same as the legend.
Ingredients
  • 375g Jalapeno peppers
  • 7g Prague powder #2
  • 190ml White grape vinegar
  • 30ml White grape vinegar
  • 15ml Tapioca flour (if you use xanthum gum, follow the package instructions)
  • Extra vinegar for the relish (to use the pulp)
Instructions
  1. Weigh out the peppers and the Prague powder. The Prague powder will inhibit and growth of unfriendly bacteria and preserve the color of the chillis during fermentation.
  2. Cut the stems away from the peppers and slice them into rings. If you have sensitive skin, you may want to wear gloves. Whatever you do, don't rub your eyes or nose.
  3. Place the chopped peppers and the Prague powder in your food processor and process until fine.
  4. Transfer the processed chillis to a large mouth glass jar. Using a canning funnel really helps when doing this.
  5. Place a double layer of kitchen paper over the top of the jar and tie this securely in place with a length of butcher's twine. And elastic band will also do fine.
  6. Place this in a dark place at a temperature of around 22 - 25c or 72 - 77f for 4 weeks to ferment.
  7. After fermenting, you will notice that the flesh of the peppers is quite mushy. You may also have a little white fungus growing on the surface of the chilli. This is friendly bacteria and can simply be stirred into the chilli.
  8. Pour in 190ml of white grape vinegar, put the lid on and give it a good shake from a minute or two. Place the jar back in its dark home and allow this to stand for 2 weeks. Give it good shake every day or two as this helps the vinegar to break down the solids.
  9. After 2 weeks, transfer the peppers to a tall jug and use your stick blender to liquidize any solids that remain. Place the smooth liquid back into its jar, put the lid on and allow this to stand for a further 2 weeks in a dark place, giving it shake-up every day or two.
  10. After 2 weeks, strain the pulp through a fine filter and gently press the pulp down to extract as much of the liquid as possible. From this quantity you will get about 250ml of liquid.
  11. Transfer the pulp to another sterilized jar and add just enough white grape vinegar to cover the pulp along with 10ml of white sugar. Stir this together, put the lid on, and in 2 weeks you will have an amazing pickled jalapeño relish.
  12. Now on the the sauce.... you will notice that it is still quite thin and if allowed to stand, the solids in the liquid, as fine as they are, will settle to the bottom of the liquid.
  13. To stabilize this and to make the sauce syrupy like the original calls for a very special thickening agent. Tapioca flour does the job perfectly. Xanthum gum also does a great job as it has the same properties as tapioca. You cannot use flour or cornflour.
  14. Mix the tapioca flour with 30ml of white grape vinegar and stir this into the pepper sauce. You will notice a color change. This is temporary as when the tapioca cooks it turns transparent and will not affect the color of the sauce at all.
  15. Pour the sauce into a small pot and bring this to a boil over medium heat, stirring continuously.
  16. You will notice as it comes to a boil how it suddenly turns syrupy and the sauce will coat the back of the spoon.
  17. Remove from the heat and allow this to cool for 15 minutes.
  18. Use a funnel to transfer the sauce to suitable miniature bottles, pop the corks or caps on and you're done.

How to Smoke Peppers - How to Make Smoked Chilli Flakes at Home
Author: 
Recipe type: Smoking / Drying
 
Smoked chilli flakes add a whole new flavor to your food while also adding the heat. I am using Jalapeños, but you can use and peppers of your choice. To Provide the smoke, I am using the Smoke Daddy Vortex.
Ingredients
  • Jalapeño peppers
  • 20ml Bicarbonate of soda
  • 1 lt Water
Instructions
  1. Dissolve 20ml of bicarbonate of soda in a liter of cold water. The chillis will be soaked in this solution the preserve their color. Green and red chillis will darken as they smoke and dry, but will retain their characteristic color instead of turning an unsightly black.
  2. To prepare the peppers, cut of the stems and quarter them length-ways. Transfer the peppers to the bicarb solution and allow them to soak for 5 minutes.
  3. Drain the chillis and transfer them to stainless steel mesh sieves or spatter screens.
  4. A while back, I unboxed and introduced the Vortex passive smoke generator. This is what we're using today.
  5. Place the peppers on the right hand side of your barbecue, and the Vortex smoker near the center. Use your blow torch or a heat gun to set the Vortex smoking. In addition ignite the left hand side burner.
  6. Aldo note the probe thermometer on the right hand side. This helps to monitor the target temperature of 67c or 153f.
  7. Let the peppers smoke for a total of 4 hours.
  8. Remove the peppers from the barbecue. You will notice that they have shriveled significantly, but are not totally dried.
  9. At this stage, you can store the chillis in oil, or continue with the drying process by placing the peppers in an oven at 67c or 153f until totally dried. This can take anything from 4 to 10 hours.
  10. Once totally desiccated, chop the chillis into flakes and store indefinitely in an airtight container.

Irish Guinness bread is without a doubt one of the nicest breads I have ever tasted. In addition, it is also one of the simplest breads to make. In fact, even if you have never boiled an egg, you will be able to make Guinness bread.
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
  • 250ml Rolled oats
  • 500ml Whole wheat flour
  • 125ml Brown sugar
  • 10ml Baking soda (bicarb)

  2. In a second mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, vanilla extract, cultured buttermilk and Guinness draught beer.
  3. Use a ball whisk to mix this until well combined, then add the dry ingredients. Mix this together until you have a batter that resembles porridge.
  4. Pour the batter into an 8 inch square non-stick pan. If your pan is not non-stick, give it a good rub-down with butter.
  5. Bake the bread in a preheated oven at 220c or 425f for 30 minutes. Reduce the heat to 200c or 400f and continue yo bake for a further 30 minutes.
  6. Let the loaf cool in the oven for 30 minutes before turning it out onto a cooling rack.

How to Make Authentic Falafel - Crispy Fried Garbanzo Bean/Chickpea Fritter Recipe!!!
Author: 
Recipe type: Vegan / Vegetarian
Cuisine: Middle Eastern / Mediterranean
 
In our previous 2 episodes we covered tahini paste and hummus. Today we're making falafel with tahini sauce and hummus.
Ingredients
  • 450g Dry chickpeas / garbanzo beans
  • 1 Onion, chopped
  • 60ml Parsley
  • 5 Cloves garlic, chopped
  • 25ml All-purpose flour
  • 7.5ml Salt
  • 10ml Ground cumin
  • 5ml Ground coriander
  • 2.5ml Fine black pepper
  • 2.5ml Cayenne pepper
  • 1.25ml Ground cardamom
  • Oil for frying
  • Tahini paste and olive oil to thin
  • Hummus
Instructions
  1. Place the chickpeas in a large bowl and cover with twice the depth of water. You cannot use canned chickpeas, the recipe will fail. This recipe can be challenging and as a result, I have included a troubleshooting addendum below. Be sure to read this before starting.
  2. Cover the bowl with cling-wrap and allow this to stand overnight.
  3. The following day, drain the chickpeas and rinse them thoroughly.
  4. Transfer the chickpeas to your food processor along with the chopped onion, parsley, garlic, flour, salt, ground cumin, ground coriander, pepper, cayenne and cardamom.
  5. Process the mixture until it resembles couscous. Place it in a bowl, cover with cling-wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours.
  6. To form the falafel, use a 30ml measuring scoop. Compress the mixture into the scoop and shake the molded shape out into your hand. Gently shape it into a ball and transfer this to a platter.
  7. To make sesame coated falafel, roll the formed ball in sesame seeds scattered across a platter.
  8. Continue until all of the balls are formed.
  9. Half fill a large pan with oil and heat this over medium heat to 160c or 320f.
  10. Carefully drop the falafel into the oil and fry for 2 to 3 minutes per side until crispy and golden.
  11. Remove the falafel from the oil and drain and drain on kitchen paper.
  12. Serve the falafel on a bed of hummus. Thin the sesame paste with extra olive oil and pour this over the falafel. Garnish the plate with fresh coriander and serve immediately.
Troubleshooting
  1. If the balls will not hold together:
  2. ) Your chickpeas are too old
  3. ) The mixture has not been processed fine enough
To fix this
  1. ) Return the mixture to your processor and process until it resemble couscous
  2. ) If it still does not hold together, add 2-3 tablespoons of flour and 1-2 eggs and mix this into the mixture thoroughly

Recipe type: Sauce
Cuisine: Middle Eastern / Mediterranean
 
Tahini paste originates in the Middle East and has gained wide popularity in almost every country of the world. It is one of the main ingredients in hummus, and can be thinned further to make a pourable sauce.
Ingredients
  • 125ml Hulled sesame seeds
  • 30ml Extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
  1. Measure the hulled sesame seeds and the extra virgin olive oil. I am going to process this with a stick blender which is ideal for small quantities, however you can do this in a small food processor, or of you have a large processor, double or triple the recipe to do this.
  2. Place the sesame in a pan over medium heat. Stir the seeds continuously to avoid burning. The toasting process will take 5 to 6 minutes. About halfway through, you will notice the seeds starting to clump together as a result of the oil being released.
  3. Towards the end, the seeds will be very fragrant and will have darkened to a golden color.
  4. Place the sesame in a tall jug and pour in 2 thirds of the oil. Process this with your blender until smooth.
  5. You will notice here that the paste is still a little thick, so Add the remaining oil. Process again to combine this.
  6. Pour the paste into a bowl for immediate use, or store it in an air-tight container in your refrigerator for a few months.
  7. Stay tuned for our next episode where we're using this sesame paste to make hummus.

Smoked Garlic Powder using Smoke Daddy's Vortex Smoke Generator

Okay, we've just had a look at the Smoke Daddy Vortex coming out of the box, now let's give it a test run. To do this, I am going smoke some garlic. Using a bit of heat from the barbecue, I am also going to dry the garlic out, then grind it to a powder.
Ingredients
  • Garlic (at least 2 full heads to make it worth your while)
Instructions
  1. To start, separate the heads of garlic. There are easier ways to this, but you actually want to remove the skins exactly like this for this procedure.
  2. To skin the cloves, cut the stem end off. Place the clove on the board and crush it by banging the knife blade down on the clove. Grab the pointed end of skin and the entire skin will simply slip off. Transfer the crushed clove to a mesh strainer or a splatter screen.
  3. Place the Vortex near the center of the barbecue. The burner to the left of the Vortex will be the only burner running. Notice my probe thermometer on the right. This will help me monitor my target temperature of 67c or 168f.
  4. Using a blow torch or heat gun ignite the one side of the circle on the Vortex. Swing the unit around 180 degrees and ignite the other side to get the double burn. Depending on your wood pellets, you may have to repeat this a couple of times.place the mesh basket of garlic near the thermometer, ignite the left-hand burner, close the lid, and you're on your way.
  5. Set a timer for 4 hours to time the process.
  6. After 4 hours, remove the garlic from the barbecue. It will be lovely and golden, with an aroma from heaven. Most of the garlic will be pretty dry by this stage, however, some of the thicker bit might still be a bit spongy. Pop this into your oven at 67c or 168f with the door slightly open and continue to desiccate the garlic until completely dry.
  7. Run the dried garlic bits in your spice grinder for a few seconds to reduce it to a powder.
  8. And here is all that is left of the pellets in the Vortex.... just a little clean ash. Simply empty this out, give the unit a rinse, and it's as good as new.

Crusty White Farm Bread - How to Make Rustic, Flavorful Bread at Home!!!
Author: 
Recipe type: Bread & Dough
 
This rustic farmhouse bread is amazing. It can be free-formed, rolled and baked in the shape of a baguette, or baked in a bread pan. Most amazing though, is the amazing crust.... thick and chewy, with a flavor from heaven.
Ingredients
  • 950g Strong white bread flour
  • 60g Butter, grated
  • 15ml Sugar
  • 10ml Salt
  • 12.5ml Instant yeast
  • 30ml Milk powder
  • 600ml Warm Water
Instructions
  1. Measure out the flour, grate the butter and measure the salt, sugar, milk powder, instant yeast and warm water.
  2. Place the mixer bowl on your stand mixer and add the grated butter. Attach the beater paddle to the mixer for this stage.
  3. Run the mixer on low speed for 60 seconds until the butter has been rubbed into the flour.
  4. Add all of the remaining dry ingredients and mix these in until well combined.
  5. Pour in the warm water and run the mixer on low speed to form the dough. When all of the water has been absorbed, and there is no loose flour at the bottom of the bowl, stop the mixer and exchange the beater for the dough hook.
  6. Allow the dough hook to knead the dough on medium-low speed for 8 to 10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
  7. Remove the bowl from the mixer, scrape the dough down from the sides of the bowl, cover the bowl with cling-wrap and allow the dough to rise for 45 minutes in a warm place.
  8. After rising, the dough will be at least doubled. Punch it down and turn it out onto a floured work surface. Flour the top of the dough as well, then knead the dough briefly, adding a little extra flour every time it becomes too sticky. Using a dough scraper also helps tremendously.
  9. Roll the dough into a large log and divide it into 4 equal pieces for baguette-style rolls, 2 pieces for 2 large 900g loaves, or leave it in one piece for extra-large loaf.
  10. I am doing baguette-style rolls which will be featured in another recipe tomorrow when I make gourmet pancetta, blue cheese, garlic and butter rolls.
  11. Knead the dough briefly and shape it into loaves, or in this case, roll it into lengths to fit your baguette pan or baking sheet.
  12. Transfer the rolls to the pan and cover them lightly with cling-wrap. Allow to rise again for 30 minutes. While they rise, preheat your oven to 200c or 400f.
  13. After 30 minutes the loaves will have doubled in size. Dust the tops of the loaves with flour then slash the loaves with a sharp blade. Spray your oven with a mist of water and bake the loaves for 30 minutes. Spray more water into the bottom of the oven halfway through.
  14. Bake 35 minutes for a 2 large loaves and 40-45 minutes for the extra large loaf.
  15. Test for doneness by flicking the loaves --- if it sounds hollow it is done.
  16. Once baked and golden, remove them from the oven. If you're using a perforated baguette pan, allow them to cool on the pan, otherwise transfer the loaves to wire racks to cool.
  17. All that remains is to savour these wonderful breads.

Homemade Apple Cider Vinegar - Make Real, Healthy Apple Cider Vinegar at Home!!!
Author: 
Recipe type: Vinegar / Condiments
 
Apple cider vinegar is used in tons of different cuisines and despite the fact that there is a permanent glut of apples in the marketplace, cider vinegar is stupidly expensive. This is how to make it at home.
Ingredients
  • 1.5kg Apples (your favorite variety)
  • 1.5lt Pure water / mineral water (non-chlorinated)
  • 120g Sugar
Instructions
  1. Cut your apples into blocks, including the cores, and place this in a large non-reactive bowl. In another bowl, combine the sugar and mineral water. Don't use tap water as the chlorine in the water will inhibit the fermentation process. Stir the mixture until all of the sugar has dissolved.
  2. Pour the sugar solution over the apple and add a little more mineral water to top up if necessary. Cover the bowl with cling-wrap and prick a few tiny holes in the plastic to allow the CO2 to escape.
  3. Place this out of the way on your counter at room temperature. Let this stand for 7 to 10 days, stirring each day.
  4. Every day you will notice a froth on top of the bowl. This is the fermentation in progress. After 7-10 days, the mixture will have the aroma of an apple cider.
  5. Strain the fermented mixture to remove all of the solids. Pour the liquid into suitable sterilized containers.
  6. Cover the containers using multiple layers of cloth, secured with elastic bands. Place the jars in a dark cupboard for 6 weeks to mature.
  7. And there you have it, home made apple cider vinegar.
