My BREAD DUMPLING/ FILLING/ BREAD STUFFING/ SEMMELFÜLLE/ KNÖDEL

Dolly2 Comments

Classic dumplings is a delicious side dish and if something remains they can be processed well, just like as filling or stuffing turkey or chicken meat, in a soup, ragout or fricassee. A versatile recipe. In german they called it “Semmelknödel”. Making of dumplings, bigger dumplings, has to do on the right composition and the corresponding proportions of constituents on the fineness and dryness of the flour, to see the freshness of eggs and enough processing of the dough.

This is the same filling which I used yesterday for our “ROASTED TURKEY BREAST IN TURBO BROILER WITH RED CABBAGE”!

It is to advise especially beginners, to insert a test dumpling in the boiling salted water or the broth every time to check how the same device, and then to see whether the dough mixture is correct; the dumpling cooking falls apart, so you need more flour or grated bread and egg yolk; is the dumpling too tight so it deals something more of the milk or water, or even a whole egg, to make it loose.

YOU NEED…….

GOOD FOR 4 PERSONS

* 1 tsp. Butter
* 2 Eggs
* 3 tsps. Flour (for forming dumplings)
* 1/2 Liter Milk
* 1 bunch Parsley, finely chopped
* some Salt
* 500g White bread cut into cubes (2 or 3 days old)
* 1/2 (half) Onion, finely chopped and lightly saute in butter

HOW TO…….

Heat the milk and pour over the bread cubes. Soak for 45 minutes.

Then add salt, finely chopped parsley, onion and eggs, knead well.

Shape dumplings with flour: well press the dough together and form balls.
20-30 Minutes (depending on size) dumplings in slightly salted water soak or cook.

THANKS GIVING 2012

DollyLeave a comment

Thanksgiving also Thanksgiving, harvest festival is a traditional celebration after the harvest in the autumn, in which God is thanked for the gifts of the harvest. Usually celebrated here in europe.
In North America, Canada and the US each have their own Thanksgiving celebrations in October and November.
Today November 22, 2012 is the celebration in America, the fourth Thursday of November. The Thanksgiving celebrated in the United States and Canada English for “Thanksgiving” is a form of Thanksgiving, but strongly deviates from the Festival after European traditions.

Our dinner tonight “ROASTED TURKEY BREAST IN TURBO BROILER WITH RED CABBAGE”, it has nothing to do with “Thanks Giving” in America…hehehe…simply because my hubby and the kids wants to have it for dinner tonight:-)

To the traditional Thanksgiving dinner, there are dishes that should have played it at the first Thanksgiving Feast: a roasted and stuffed Turkey or Roasted Turkey with a wide selection of side dishes and desserts like cranberry sauce, yams and sweet potatoes, Apple and pumpkin pie or Apple Pie and pumpkin pie, as well as various vegetables such as squash, green peas and corn.

Ours is the european way, if you are interested here is the recipe for you. Covers for 4 persons. Cooked in my Turbo Broiler.

Add 1 small onion, chopped. Add the cabbage, stir, and saute it for 3 to 5 minutes until it wilts. Add 1/3 cup of apple vinegar to the skillet. Sprinkle 2 tbsp. of brown sugar over the cabbage and stir it. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for an additional 10 minutes before serving.

* Potatoe wedges season with salt and roll for a few minutes in a little bit oil.

NECK OF PORK VENISON ART

DollyLeave a comment

Venison may be eaten as steaks just like this recipe of mine, neck of pork or schopfbraten in german. You can also use scalope instead. Venison is widely available in European supermarkets through the traditional hunting season, October to December.

I served it with rice topped with cranberries marmalade. AMAPINOY Remember!!!:-)

The main cuts available to European consumers are derived from the saddle and the hind leg.

APPETIZER OR PAMPAGANA

DollyLeave a comment

Appetizer o pampagana?… tinadtad na sibuyas, kamatis at luya ito ang mga sangkap na di ko alam kung matatawag ngang pampagana o parang ensalada. Masarap sa pinirito o inihaw na isda, karne ng baboy at iba pang pagkaing nakukuha sa dagat. Para sa aking mister timplahan ng anchovy sauce ay solve na, pang ulam na niya!
Heto naman ay ginawang pang side dish ng anak kong lalake sa lumpiang shanghai…yes nabasa ninyo ng tama sa “LUMPANG SHANGHA!”! 😛
Narito ang larawan masdan at husgahan…lol…

YOU NEED…….

* kamatis
* sibuyas
* luya
* salt to taste

HOW TO…….

* Simple lamang paghalu-haluin lahat ng mga sangkap at p’wede nang kumain.
P’weding lagyan ng siling labuyo, lalong maanghang gawa ng luya. P’wede ring lagyang ng suka o bagoong!
Timplahan nang naaayon sa inyong panlasa.

SILI AT KAMATIS (CHILI AND TOMATOES)

Dolly1 Comment

Sili at kamatis, napapanahon ngayong taglamig, siguro mga huling anihan na, mura ang kilo kaya minsan ay aking niluluto na katapat ng fried fish or meat. Ito ay hindi lamang kapares kundi nakakapagbigay gana sa pagkaing walang sabaw. Simple at madaling lutuin, kailangan lang ng anchovy sauce o bagoong balayan, kaunting mantika, luya at sibuyas. Igigisa lahat at titimplahan ng anchovy sauce o bagoong balayan at lalagyan ng kaunting tubig na tama lang makaluto sa sili at kamatis. Masarap na kasamang pang ulam ng fried fish o di kaya ay fried cutlet 😀

Yong siling haba ay hindi maanghang lalo na yong pula na mataba. Kung gusto ng maanghang ay may roon din. Pero mas gusto namin ang hindi maanghang. Maari ring gawing ensalada. Para sa grill meat o inihaw na isda. Sa panahon ng tag-init ng araw sa araw-araw na panahon ay panahon din ng pag-grill o ihaw-ihaw. Masarap ding kapares ng inihaw na isda o karne ang ensaladang sili at kamatis.

Ito namang maliit na sili na mapula na tawag sa Pilipinas ay “siling labuyo”, aking inilalagay sa suka na may halong nabalatan na bawang at luya. Magandang sawsawan ng inihaw o di kaya ay napritong isda o karne. Kapag napapanahon ay murang-mura ang kilo ng mga ito.
