Bournvita chocolate Brownies- Celebrating Dad- in- law’s birthday….

The best way to start a new year is with a perfectly baked chocolate brownies, which is little crisp from outside and moist from inside. Actually I wanted to post a lot during Christmas and new year, but due to unexpected travelling, I couldn't plan anything for my blog.


Yesterday was my daddy’s (father- in- law's) birthday and so this is the perfect post on this occasion. Nothing much has changed after marriage, I was my dad’s pet and now I am my dad- in - law's pet. He’s so loving, caring, friendly, supportive and more over I can share anything with him. He loves to try new cuisine and whenever he visits us, I try new recipes. Whatever I make, even though it didn't come out quite well, he will be like “ yummy, perfect, I want more”... :)



He loves my cakes and bakes a lot and so I thought the brownie will be an ideal dish for this occasion. I have made chocolate brownies before, but here I have added bournvita for the extra taste and colour. I am sad that he couldn't taste it, but when he visits us I am sure going to make this delicious chocolate brownies. He will love it. Just try this easy, simple brownies and you won't stop with one….

Crispy braised Iberico pork collar Recipe

Image
It is not cheap, but if you come across it don't hesitate and buy an   Iberico  pork  collar  (aka boneless neck, Cabecero). Mine was 1800 g. It is a well marbled, exquisitely flavorful cut that can be roasted, braised, or sliced into steaks for quick searing. ... While  iberico  is best known for the famous slow-aged hams, the other cuts are succulent, moist & delicious. I made pulled pork from one half. Today I made this from the other half. First I peeled, halved and then sliced 800 g of onions and sweated them in 40 g of butter, turned the heat up a bit and softly fried them for about 40 mins, nicely caramelised and brown. Took out the onions and added some more butter in the pan to sear the meat. Then turned the heat down again and added  sea salt, black pepper, 3 tbsp  Worcestershire  and 6 finely hacked cloves of garlic , 1.2 liter of beef stock , the reserved onions and 2 leaves of laurel . Put the lid on and let it simmer for 3 hours. Then I took out the oni
