Imagen 0

TRASEROS DE POLLO AL HORNO CON PATATAS A LA PROVENZAL
 
4 traseros de pollo                                  
2 patatas medianas
1 cebolla mediana                                  
2 dientes de ajos grandes
Media cucharadita de hierbas provenzales
½ copa de vino blanco
1 vasito de caldo de pollo
1c/s de zumo de limón
1 ramillete de perejil
Sal y pimienta
Aceite de oliva

ELABORACIÓN:
 
Limpiamos los traseros de pollo, los salpimentamos y los doramos en una sartén con un chorro de aceite de oliva. Una vez dorados los retiramos y los reservamos.
Picamos la cebolla en juliana y la pochamos en el mismo aceite de dorar el pollo.
Ponemos en una fuente que pueda ir al horno las cebollas pochadas y encima colocamos el pollo.

Machacamos en el mortero los dientes de ajo con un poco de sal, con el perejil y con las hierbas de Provenza. Machacamos todo y le añadimos el caldo y el vino blanco. Removemos bien y ponemos sobre el pollo. Ponemos también un chorrito de zumo de limón.
Metemos en horno precalentado a 190º ó 200º. Lo haremos unos 45 minutos, dependerá un poco del tamaño de los traseros de pollo y del horno.


Mientras el pollo se va haciendo pelamos las patatas y las cortamos en panadera de unos 4 mm. Las freímos por tandas en abundante aceite y una vez fritas y escurridas las ponemos con el pollo.
Yo levanto el pollo y lo coloco encima de las patatas.


Para que el pollo quede mejor asado lo voy regando cada poco con su propio jugo. 3, ó 4 veces le damos la vuelta.


Para comprobar que está asado vemos que la carne suelta con facilidad del hueso.

Crispy Honey Garlic Salmon RECIPE FOR TODAY

Crispy Honey Garlic Salmon
Ingredients

2 tbsp honey
1 tbsp lemon/lime juice (freshly squeezed is best)
2 - 3 large garlic cloves, crushed
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
6 x 3 oz each salmon fillets, skin on/off
1 - 2 tsp coconut oil or extra virgin olive oil
2 green onions, finely chopped

Directions

In a small bowl, whisk together honey, lemon/lime juice, garlic, salt and pepper. Place salmon fillets in a large resealable Ziploc bag and pour marinade over. Squeeze as much air out as possible and seal the bag. Gently move fillets around inside the bag to make sure they are all evenly coated. Place flesh side down and let marinate 15 minutes.
Preheat large non-stick skillet on low - medium heat and add oil, making sure it coats the bottom of the skillet evenly. Place salmon fillets flesh side down leaving enough space in between them. Cover with a lid and cook for 3 minutes. Remove the lid, cook another minute and flip over. Repeat: cover, cook for 3 minutes, remove the lid and cook for another minute. If your skillet is not large enough, I recommend cooking in two batches. If you over crowd the skillet, cooking time increases by a few minutes for each step. Serve hot garnished with green onions, alongside quinoa and steamed broccolI.
Storage Instructions: Refrigerate covered for up to 5 days.

PREP TIME
COOK TIME
TOTAL TIME

INGREDIENTS
Mini Cheesecake Cupcakes
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • caramel sauce or strawberry sauce for topping, optional
3 Ingredient Strawberry Sauce

  • 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
Easy Caramel Sauce
  • 2 cups light brown sugar
  • 1 stick plus 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • sea salt for serving, if desired

INSTRUCTIONS
Mini Cheesecake Cupcakes
  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  2. Line a muffin pan with paper liners. (I recommend using the paper liners over foil)
  3. Combine graham cracker, butter and sugar in a small bowl. Texture should be similar to wet sand. Divide crust evenly into the bottom of the lined muffin tin.
  4. Bake for 5-6 minutes or until golden brown.
  5. Take out of the oven and cool completely.
  6. Meanwhile assemble the cheesecake filling. Beat cream cheese in a stand mixer with the paddle attachment.
  7. Add in sour cream, sugar, eggs and vanilla. Mix until combined. Make sure to scrap the sides of the bowl.
  8. Pour cheesecake mixture into cooled muffin tin. It will be about 2 tablespoons of filling each. Fill almost all the way to the top.
  9. Place in the oven and bake for 20 minutes or until the cheesecakes are set. They will still jiggle a bit. Do not over cook them. If they start to crack they are getting over cooked.
  10. Allow them to cool in the muffin tin completely. Place in the refrigerator to chill and serve cold with your favorite toppings.
Ingredient Strawberry Sauce
  1. Add strawberries, lemon juice and sugar to a small saucepan. Simmer on low for 15 minutes, mashing up strawberries with the back of a wooden spoon. Take off heat and allow to cool.
  2. Place in a food processor and pulse until creamy and thick. Place back in the fridge and serve cold.
Easy Caramel Sauce
  1. Add all of the ingredients except for the vanilla to a saucepan. Cook over low-medium heat until thickened stirring occasionally. About 8 minutes. If the sauce isn't getting a lot thicker turn up the heat a bit and keep and eye on it making sure to whisk constantly. (The sauce will thicken as it cools in the refrigerator).
  2. Stir in vanilla.
  3. Take off of the heat and allow to cool in the saucepan. Transfer to a container and place in the refrigerator to firm up and cool.

PALMERITAS DE JAMÓN Y QUESO SPANISH RECIPE FOR TODAY


Image may contain: food and indoor

PALMERITAS DE JAMÓN Y QUESO
Ingredientes :

– Una placa de hojaldre cuadrada

– 6 Lonchas de Jamón Dulce muy finas

– 4 Lonchas de queso ( a elegir el que más te guste)

– Un poco de azúcar.

– 1 huevo


Palmeritas saladas de jamón y queso:


Desenrrollar el hojaldre dejando el papel de horno que incorpora y espolvorear un poco de azúcar por encima de la masa( no nos pasemos : simplemente es para darle un toque dulce al snack salado).

Poner encima las lonchas de Jamón y las de queso cubriendo toda la superficie de la masa.

Para formar la palmera empezar enrrollando por una punta hasta llegar justo al medio y acabar con la otra punta hasta llegar al otro extremo.

Corta con un cuchillo ancho y afilado ( no de sierra) del tamaño no superior a un 1 cm ( podeis comprobar que el cuchillo se pegará a la masa dificultando el corte, un truco para que no pase esto es mojar con agua la superficie del cuchillo por cada corte, conseguiremos que el corte sea limpio y que nuestras palmeras salgan más bonitas).

De forma individual y ligeramente separadas las ponemos en una bandeja de horno con papel sulfurado ( o de horno) y las bañamos con huevo batido.

Hornear a 170 grados durante 15/20 minutos ( los tiempos y temperaturas de horno son como siempre orientativos ya que depende mucho de horno que tengamos ).

Una vez sacadas del horno , dejar enfriar y a disfrutar!!!.

Bacon and Brussels Sprouts Skewers RECIPE FOR TODAY

Image may contain: food
Bacon and Brussels Sprouts Skewers
Ingredients
1 pound bacon
2 pounds brussels sprouts
1 teaspoon ghee
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Small wooden skewers
DIRECTIONS
Cut each strip of bacon in half lengthwise. In a frying pan on medium heat, cook the bacon until it's partially cooked but still soft and pliable. (If you overcook the bacon, it will be difficult to weave it onto the skewer.) Remove the bacon from the pan, and set it aside. Remove most of the bacon grease from the pan, leaving just enough to coat it.
Cut the brussels sprouts in half lengthwise. Add the sprouts, ghee, garlic powder, and sea salt to the frying pan. Sauté on medium heat until the sprouts are tender and browned.
Preheat the oven to 375ºF.
Assemble the skewers by threading 1 end of the bacon onto the end of a skewer. Add a brussels sprout slice, and weave the bacon around the sprout and back through the skewer, creating a wave pattern between the sprouts. Move the bacon and the sprout down the skewer, and repeat this process 2-3 more times for each skewer.
Bake the skewers in a baking pan for 5-10 minutes, or until the bacon is fully cooked.
