CHURROS ENGLISH RECIPE FOR TODAY

Churros-detalle

CHURROS

Ingredients :( for 24 churros)

1 bowl of water
1 bowl of flour (same size as bowl of water)
1 teaspoon yeast
1/2 teaspoon salt
Olive oil (for frying)


We put the water on the stove, when it begins to boil, we remove from the heat and we add the flour mixed with the salt and the yeast.

At first it will look like a "paste" but we keep kneading until it comes off the walls of  the bowl.

Let stand for a couple of minutes to cool down a bit and proceed to refill the churro or cookie presser. If we do not have a churro or cookie presser , we can use a pastry sleeve with a starry nozzle.

On a dry and clean surface we will stretch the mass of the churros and let it warm completely before proceeding to cut it.

We may cut the churros of a size approx. of 12 cms. long or to length of choice.

Heat oil in a frying pan and fry the churros in batches. It is not advisable to put many at a time, as it cools the oil a lot and will take longer to brown. I advise that the oil is not excessively hot, as they will brown on the outside very quickly and run the risk of being raw inside.

Once fried, we put on a kitchen paper towel to remove excess fat. Sprinkle with sugar and serve warm.

Both for breakfast and for a snack, the churros combine perfectly with a hot chocolate.

CHURROS SPANISH RECIPE FOR TODAY

Churros-detalle

CHURROS

Ingredientes:( para 24 churros)

1 tazón de agua
1 tazón de harina( mismo tamaño que tazón de agua)
1 cucharadita de levadura en polvo
1/2 cucharadita de sal
aceite de oliva( para freír)


Ponemos el agua al fuego, cuando empiece a hervir, retiramos del calor y añadimos de golpe la harina mezclada con la sal y la levadura.

Al principio parecerá un "engrudo" pero seguimos revolviendo hasta que se desprenda de las paredes ( siempre fuera del fuego).

Dejamos reposar un par de minutos para que se enfríe un poco y procedemos a rellenar la churrera. Si no tenemos churrera, podemos utilizar una manga pastelera con una boquilla estrellada.

Sobre una superficie seca y limpia vamos estirando la masa de los churros y dejamos entibiar totalmente antes de proceder a cortarla.

Cortamos los churros de un tamaño aprox. de 12 cms. de largo, pero como siempre, ésto va en gustos.

Calentamos abundante aceite en una sartén y vamos friendo los churros por tandas. No es aconsejable poner muchos de cada vez, pues enfría mucho el aceite y tardarían más en dorarse. Yo aconsejo que el aceite no esté excesivamente caliente, pues se dorarían por fuera muy rápidamente y corremos el riesgo de que queden crudos por dentro.

Una vez fritos, vamos colocando en un papel de cocina para eliminar el exceso de grasa. Espolvoreamos con azúcar y servimos bien calentitos.

Tanto para el desayuno como para una merienda, los churros combinan a la perfección con un chocolate caliente.

Sausage Egg Nests RECIPE FOR TODAY

Sausage Egg Nests
Serves: 6
Serving Size: 2 Sausage Egg Nests
Ingredients
2 medium Russet potatoes (to provide 3 cups shredded, cooked potato)
2 Sweet Chicken Italian Sausages
2 slices of bacon
1/2 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
3 cups potato, cooked
6 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
1/3 cup green onion, sliced + extra for garnish
1 teaspoon canola oil or canola oil spray
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Directions
Preheat oven to 425°F and bake potatoes for 25-30 minutes, until halfway baked. Note: Potatoes must not be fully cooked before shredding, otherwise they will fall apart when shredded. When poked with a knife, potatoes should still be somewhat firm in the middle. Let cool. Grate until you have 3 cups of shredded potato and set aside. This step can be done a day ahead of time. Just store potatoes, covered, in the refrigerator.
Next, cook the bacon until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and dice once cool. Drain off the bacon fat and sauté the yellow onion in the same hot pan for 3-5 minutes. Combine onion, ground pepper and salt to the potatoes. Toss until combined.
Decrease oven temperature to 400F.
Lightly rub or spray a 12-cup muffin tin with canola oil and press a generous ¼ cup of the potato mixture into each cup, distributing potatoes around the bottom and up the sides. The potatoes will shrink, thus a little overflow is okay. Apply a very light brushing of oil or spray of oil over the potatoes and bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown on the edges.
Meanwhile, cook sausage in a skillet over medium-high heat until browned. Add green onions, cook for an additional 1-2 minutes and remove from heat.
Lightly beat eggs, add sausage, green onions and ¼ cup cheddar cheese.
Allow potato cups to cool for a few minutes and then add 3 tablespoons of egg mixture to each until hash brown nests are nearly full. Sprinkle tops with remaining cheddar cheese, about 1 teaspoon per nest, and place back into oven for 15-20 minutes, until set.
Garnish with bacon and finely chopped green onions if you have extra. Once slightly cooled, remove egg cups from tins using a fork and a spoon.

Shrimp Ceviche - BELIZEAN STYLE RECIPE FOR TODAY

Shrimp Ceviche - BELIZEAN STYLE
Ingredients:
1lb. of raw (uncooked) cleaned shrimp
2 cups diced ripe tomatoes
1 large onion diced
1 bunch cilantro chopped
1 habanero pepper minced
5 lemon ( lime) squeezed/ juiced
1 tsp salt (or to taste)
Instructions:
Rinse your shrimp under cool water. .
In Belize we rarely eat raw meats of any kind. Ceviche is an exception.
You may cook your shrimp, if you do we recommend a flash boiling technique. Boil some water, and dump in the shrimp for 3-5 minutes, the second they turn pink pour out the water in strainer.
After the shrimp is cooked chop it up into small pieces.
Once the shrimp is prepared you will essentially make a salsa with the other ingredients. Chop the tomatoes and onions into nice quarter inch chunks. Add pepper, lime juice and salt to taste. Chop up cilantro very fine.
Add the shrimp!
If you opted for raw shrimp let it soak in the lime juice for 20-30 minutes so that is can “cook” in the acidity of the lime juice.
Serve with fried corn tortilla chips
