So what has she just asked me for? A chicken camembert ban and cranberry sauce toasty in a pitta bread......OK so what s so un-foreign about that one then? Grrrrrrrrr
I miss her and now I'm worried.
Guess I would let myself die instead of giving up chocolate. It would be worth it!
Baileys ganache
8 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
¼ cup thick (do you call it heavy) cream
2 to 4 tablespoons Baileys you could use kalua but Baileys is best
If you microwave the chocolate and cream only give it 20-30 seconds blasts and stir it between times or you will end up with something ghastly. So once it has melted stir in the baileys and add a pinch of slat - you need to let it cool but not get cold you have to pour it on
Taking Lactaid first.
I've never heard of lady fingers being called cat's tongue; how interesting.
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
1 small minced red onion
2 tablespoons Pesto
Pinch of salt and a pinch of black pepper
1 pound Minced (ground?) turkey breast
1 minced garlic clove
Mushrooms if you like them or chilli perhaps
Mix together well and shape into 4 burgers - if it isn't holding together well beat an egg and pour a tiny tiny bit in which should help. I usually shape them then egg and flour them before shallow frying for about 5 /6 mins each side. I just spray the pan with oil or rub oil round it with a paper towel so it does pick up loads of fat. Then when it is done take them out and keep warm. Meanwhile split a pitta bread into a pocket. Mix together in chopped onion, celery pepper, cucumber add some Greek yoghurt or creme fraiche and then either add cranberry jelly or sweet chilli sauce to give it some zing put that mixture into the pocket with some watercress add the burger and voila lunch
Variations on this include using crystallised ginger in with the brownies instead of fruit. If you want to use oranges then use Cointreau instead of amaretto - loads of variations and very very sickly but if you have a sweet tooth, enjoy
Me, the old tart, out on a Saturday evening! Can you imagine that?
Omg, $29. 00, it is similar, fruit, whipped cream, pudding, some kind of sponge cake, another has lady fingers, surrounding the fruit and pudding.
Our Jello, your jellies, are called Jello, of Gelatin. Then, there are fruit Tarts, on a cake-like bed, looks like pudding.
Going to wait and make it. Looking up lady fingers to see if they are angel food cake or sponge, looks like what you are calling cats tongue.
Need to put chocolate in mine, so maybe lady fingers, chocolate mousse pudding, whipped cream, strawberries throughout, blueberries on top, drizzle with dark chocolate syrup, put in the Birds Custard layered. Maybe that would work.
Nowadays it is just the meat and veg ones. You need minced steak really but it can be the cheapest steak just try for a low fat content or you will have to skim it all off. Fry off the mince with a finely chopped onion and add virtually no gravy but probably about a tablespoon just to moisten it (depending on how much mince you use of course) then add diced cooked potato carrot and swede (rutabaga to you) and season with salt and pepper (I like pepper so I go heavier on that and I mean white not black pepper - it has more bite). If you wanted to spice it up you could add chilli (not for me though). Set aside to cool Roll out the pastry (Use the easy made stuff it works well and choose the type you prefer - I prefer shortcrust but flaky or puff work just as well. (NOT FILO). TO build your cornish pasty you cut your pastry into 8inch diameter circles. I used a small plate as a template. Then you spoon your mixture into the centre of the circle , moisten the edges of the pastry with egg wash (just beaten yolk with milk) and draw up two opposing sides and pinch them together them work your way down to the table top on either side - it looks a bit like the body of a dinosaur especially if you crimp the edges as you go. Then brush with egg wash and bake in a hot oven until golden brown. Bon appetit!!
