Aubergine 'carpaccio', techina, thyme and pine nuts Recipe


Blacken 2 big aubergines (on the hob or under the ovengrill), cool a bit and peel the burned skin off. Lightly dust with fine salt and put in the fridge for a while to dehydrate.

Pre heat the oven to 190C. Cut the underside from bulb of garlic, lightly oil a piece of alu foil, place the garlic upright on the oiled foil and close the packet and put in the oven for 40 mins.

For the techina use the stick blender to mix 50g raw tahin with 1 tbsp lemon juice and add cold water, bit by bit, till the thickness of mayo.

Add a bit of salt and squeeze 3 or 4 garlic cloves in to the mix.

Toast 1 tbsp pine nuts in a dry pan and reserve.

Slice the green part of 2 spring onions.

Remove the stalk and cut the aubergines lengthwise in 4 slices and arrange them on 2 plates. Then cover with cling film and press or beat them to cover most of the plates.

Season with sea salt 

Squeeze 1/2 tomato empty upon each plate and use a piping bag to create nice circles of the techina. Add 1/2 tbsp young, hacked thyme, the pine nuts and the onion.

Take a tsp date syrup and use the tip of a knife to whip splatters on a place, then repeat with the 2nd plate.

Finally sprinkle some pul biber (Turkish pepper) on top

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

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
