Strawberries and vanilla cream with milk chocolate crumble Recipe


Heat the oven to 170°C (150°C fan), then start on the crumble. 

In a large bowl, whisk 25g plain flour, 2 tsp cocoa, 4tsp milk powder, 25g dark soft brown sugar and a pinch of salt to combine, then add 1/2 tsp vanilla bean paste and 30g fridge-cold unsalted butter, cut into 1,5 cm cubes. Use your fingertips to squeeze the butter cubes into the dry ingredients until you have a rough crumble. 

Tip out on to a small, oven tray lined with greaseproof paper and bake for 22 minutes, stirring once halfway to break it up. Remove from the oven, stir again to turn the mix to a fine crumble, then leave to cool completely.

Defrost 200g frozen strawberries (later in the year use fresh ones, of course), halve them (or quarter them if they’re on the large side) and put in a bowl. Add 1,5 tsp lime juice and 10g caster sugar, toss gently to combine, then refrigerate.

Put another 100g strawberries in the small bowl of a food processor and blitz smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Pour into a small saute pan, add 1 tsp pomegranate molasses, 1/4 tsp sumac and another 10g sugar, turn the heat to medium-high and bring to a simmer. 

Once the mix starts to bubble, turn down the heat to medium, cook gently, stirring occasionally, for five to six minutes, until glossy and slightly thickened, then set aside to cool completely.

Put 60g creme fraiche, 60ml double cream, 1 tsp vanilla bean paste and 10g sugar in a large bowl and whisk by hand for two or three minutes, until you have soft peaks. Refrigerate until ready to serve (you want it nice and cold).

Divide the cream mixture between two small shallow bowls, then make a well in the centre with the back of a spoon. Top the cream with the blitzed strawberries, and swirl them in slightly. 

Drain the macerated strawberries of their liquid, then divide them between the two bowls. Finally, sprinkle over a good spoonful of the crumble, finish with the zest of a lime, and serve with the remaining crumble to spoon over to taste.

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

Pani Puri with Homemade Puris

Image
P ani Puri is one of my favorite chaats from childhood. Whenever we go out, we used to thoroughly enjoy the chaat from the roadside street vendors. In every nook and corner, you can see a pani puri stall. We used to have competition, as who will have more puris. Every Indian like pani puri to the core. It is said that this not only satisfies your taste buds but also keeps the kid in you alive. Once during fasting time, in Bangalore, after breaking the fast I had 30- 35 pani puris without eating anything. I like to have them anytime of the day. After coming to the US it has become very rare to find pani puri. We will get the pani puri kit in all the Indian stores. I started making it from scratch as we don’t find the puris most of the time in stores. My daughter loves it a lot. She won’t eat anything else if pani puri is there for snacks. Pani puris have different names like the puchkas, gol gappas and so on. Pani means water and puri are the fried puffed dough balls. Yesterday was my s
