kuVarijacije - Twisted Snail Buns

Ovomesečna tema za igru kuVarijacije su Twisted Snail Buns sa bloga Soul Kitchen. Nešto slično sam već pravila i iskrena da budem taj prvi recept mi se više dopao. Kod ovog recepta sam imala problem da mi se testo lepilo za podlogu, pa se prilikom rolanja deformisalo i nije mi na izgled ispalo onako lepo kao što sam očekivala. A ako bih dodatno pobrašnila podlogu, testo bi se skupljalo. U svakom slučaju, pecivo nije loše, pojelo se naravno.

Potrebno za palačinke:

• 200gr brašna
• 1/2 kašičice soli

Za to vreme, staviti spanać u vatrostalnu činiju, pokriti streč folijom i ubaciti u mikrotalasnu na 1'. Ako ne koristite mikrotalasnu, blanširajte kratko spanać u vreloj vodi. Dobro ocediti i sitno iseckati. Dodati spanać u masu za palačinke. Ako je masa previše gusta, dodajte još malo piva (ja sam dodala još 50ml).

Ispržite palačinke.

Za fil pomešajte krem sir, mrvljenu fetu i biber. 

Premažite svaku palačinku filom, pa preko stavite 2 režnja  šunke. Uvijte i poređajte u pleh. Pospite rendanim kačkavaljem i kratko zapecite u vrućoj rerni tek toliko da se sir otopi. Služiti toplo.

Daring Bakers May 2015 - Lamingtons / Čupavci

It's been awhile since I participate in Daring Bakers Challenge. This month I decided I have to enter no matter what. And the challenge was great! Although lamingtons (here called čupavci) are really often made here in this part of the world and everybody will tell you that it's their favorite childhood treat, for me it's not that case. My mother don't like coconut and she simply don't make coconut cakes. So the lamingtons in my house are started to make when I began to cook. At one time I used to make it quite often, but then simple I forgot about them. The challenge Marcellina in cucina gave was great for me, but I decided to step out of my comfort zone and try something different. The result was great! For the sponge cake I used Marcellina recipe, but then I sandwich them with my homemade strawberry jam and coat them in white chocolate ganache made with coconut milk. The idea came by itself, since by the time I thought how to make lamingtons, my jam was on the stove and when I enter the pantry to grab jars for jam, there it was a can of coconut milk. If you don't like white chocolate use dark. You wan't use all of the jam from the recipe for the lamingtons, of course but I'm pretty sure you will find some other way to use it.

Lamingtons

Ingredients for the sponge:

• 5 eggs
• 225gr sugar
• a pinch of salt
• 150gr cornflour
• 50gr plain flour
• 1,5 tsp baking powder

for the jam:

• 1kg chopped fresh strawberries
• 500gr sugar
• juice from half a lemon

for the chocolate icing:

• 200ml coconut milk
• 200gr white chocolate
• about 150gr shredded coconut 

Directions:

First make the jam. Combine the strawberries with the sugar and leave on a room temperature a couple of hours or in a fridge overnight.Add the lemon juice and bring to a boil. Cook over a high heat for 10-15'. Divide it between sterilized jars.

Preheat the oven to 180C. Line a 23x33xm pan with parchment paper.

Whisk the eggs and sugar until the mixture is pale and triple in volume, for 10'. Sift both flours, salt and baking powder over the egg mixture and carefully fold it in. Spread the mixture into prepared pan and smooth the surface. Bake for 20-25'. Immediately take the baked cake from the pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool. Cut the sponge in 5x5cm squares and then cut horizontally each square. Sandwich them together using a jam, then dip each part in chocolate icing and roll in coconut.

For the chocolate icing, combine the coconut milk and chopped white chocolate in a saucepan and warm it up over a middle high heat to melt.

Recepti sa jagodama / Strawberry Recipes

Danas za vas imam jednu lepu kolekciju recepata sa jagodama. 
Otvoreni tart sa jagodama je klasika. Ja sam ga pravila u ovim mini verzijama, ali naravno možete napraviti i jedan veliki.
Limunada sa jagodama je divno letnje osveženje.
Sočni jagoda pužići su nešto što sam prvi put pravila. Odozgo nešto kao skonsi (scones), a ispod sočni sa puno fila i soka. Možete ih jesti i tople I hladne. Meni su se čak vise dopali hladni.
Krambl će vas se možda učiniti kao nešto opšte poznato, ali u ovom slučaju mrvice su nešto potpuno drugo, bez trunke maslaca ili ulja ili bilo kakve masnoće. Da bi vam bile onako fino krckave i da ne bi odmah potamnele, koristite domaće prezle, ali na način kako ih ja spremam. Na kraju ću vam i to objasniti.
Nadam se da ćete naći nešto po svom ukusu...

• 1/4 kašičice suve majčine dušice
• 100gr hladnog maslaca
• 1 jaje

za fil:

Priprema:

Za testo pomešajte brašnp, so, biber i majčinu dušicu. Dodajte maslac sečen na kockice i vrhovima prstiju utrljajte maslac u brašno da dobijete masu nalik na prezle. Dodajte umućeno jaje i umesite testo. Uvijte ga u foliju i stavite u frižider na 30'.

Za fil, operite sremuš, pa ga stavite u vatrostalnu činiju, dodajte 1 kašiku vode, 1 kašiku ulja i labavo poklopite činiju streč folijom. Ubacite u mikrotalasnu na 1 minut, izvadite sremuš iz činije i kad se malo prohladi sitno iseckajte.* Pomešajte umućena jaja, mleko, sir i kačkavalj, pa dodajte sremuš, malo soli i bibera.

Zagrejte rernu na 180C.

Ohlađeno testo razvući tanko, pa njime obložite pleh.* Sipajte fil, po njemu poređajte mrvljeni plavi sir i pecite oko 40' da blago porumeni. Prohladite tart pre služenja.

* Ako ne koristite mikrotalasnu, kratko blanširajte sremuš u vreloj vodi (1 minut). Dobro ga ocedite.

* Ja sam koristila jedan pravougaoni pleh dimenzija 24x9cm i tri okrugla prečnika 11cm, a može se peći i u jednom okruglom plehu prečnika 24-26cm.

Ramp Tart

Ingredients for the pastry:

Directions:

In a kneading bowl, mix the flour, salt, pepper and thyme. Add the diced butter and rub it in flour using your fingertips until mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Add the whisked egg and knead the dough. Wrap it in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for 30'.

For the filling, wash the ramp and put in a heatproof bowl.Add one tablespoon of water and oil. Cover with plastic wrap and put in a microwave for 1 minute. Take the ramp from the bowl and when it is cool enough for you to handle it, chop it up.* Whisk the eggs, milk, ricotta and cheese, then add the ramp, a pinch of salt and pepper.

Preheat the oven to 180C.

Roll the dough thin and line the pan.* Pour in the filling, top it with crumble blue cheese and bake for 40'. Cool slightly before serving.

* Or if you don't use a microwave, blanch the ramp in a hot water for 1 minute. Drain well.

* I used one rectangle pan 24x9cm and three round pans 11cm in diameter. You can bake it in a one 24-25cm round tart pan.

Za krem, prvo propržiti mak u sivom tiganju da zamiriše, pa ga ohladiti.

Umutiti penasto maslac i šećer, pa dodati limun kremu i mleko, a na kraju i mak.

Koru iseći na tri trake. Prvu koru staviti na tanjir, pa je četkicom lagano premazati sirupom. Na koru premazati polovinu fila, pa ponoviti postupak, kora, sirup, fil i završiti korom.

Za preliv, pomešati šećer u prahu sa sokom od limuna da dobijete željenu gustinu i odmah prelijte preko kolača. Ostavite da se stegne.

Priprema:

Stavite sve sastojke u činiju koja može u mikrotalasnu. Stavite je u mikrotalasnu na 30 sekundi, izvadite i promešajte, pa opet vratite na 30 sekundi. Ponovite postupak još par puta dok se masa ne zgusne. Ako prvi put kuvate ovakav krem u mikrotalasnoj, smanjite vreme posle drugog puta na 10-15 sekundi da ne biste dobili kajganu. A ako nemate ili ne koristite mikrotalasnu, skuvajte krem na pari. Možete je čuvati u frižideru oko 7 dana.
