Christmas Trifle

My mother always made trifle for Christmas , as she is no longer with us I had a go this year. Her is a picture of a slice. As can be seen the custard has set , its not a soggy mess, thats due to using Fosters Egg Custard.

The fellow from the simple cooking channel explains the recipe below but you can see what a mess it becomes if you use pouring custard.

Broken Glass Jelly

Tessy and I went to a Christmas party on Sunday and we made a Broken Glass Jelly dessert for the party. You need a mould but its very easy to make.  Everyone seemed to like it!

Ingredients

3 packets of  flavored jelly . We had lemon, raspberry and lime
1 can sweetened condensed milk
300ml cream
1 cup apple juice
1 & 1/2 heaped table spoons unflavored gelatin

Method

Prepare the jelly in three individual bowls as per the instructions on the pack. Allow to set.
Chop up into  largish chunks about half of the jelly from each bowl and place the jelly bits into the mould. Boil the apple juice in a microwave and mix in the gelatin until its dissolved. In a separate bowl mix the condensed milk and cream, pour in the apple juice and mix well. Pour the milk mixture over the jelly and close the mould. place in the fridge until set.

Easy Christmas Cake

Here is David's recipe for Christmas Cake. Its a version of the 4 Ingredients fruit cake which I have made.

Easy butter cakes

I had no desert the other day so thought I might try to bake something. I had no shop cake mix so found the following recipe via google. The result was some lovely cakes I have been taking to work for morning tea.

Ingredients.

2 cups self raising flour
1 cup sugar (I use about 2/3 as I don't like it to sweet)
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla flavoring
2/3 cup milk
3 tablespoons butter melted. (about 100gms)

In a mixing bowl put in the dry ingredients and form a hole in the middle. Crack in the eggs then add the other ingredients. Mix well for a few minutes, you can use an electric mixer but I just use a wooden spoon. When the batter is well mixed and smooth pour into greased cake tins and bake at about 180 deg for about 20 minutes or until cooked.

The simple recipe makes a good base for other type of cakes. I added some blueberries and they were delicious.

Curried Sandwiches II

Had an egg, had some curry, so I finally made some curried sandwiches last night.

Maltese Cheese Pie (Torta tal-Rikotta)

I decided to make a traditional Maltese dish the other night, Maltese Cheese Pie. Delicious with a small salad or by itself.

Ingredients:

600 gms  ricotta cheese.
2 sheets puff pastry
1/3 cup chopped parsley
3 eggs beaten.

Method

Add most of   the 3 beaten eggs and the parsley  to the cheese  but save about a teaspoon of the eggs for latter. Mix all together. Season with salt and lots of pepper.  Place a sheet of pastry  in a greased pie dish to form the bottom. Fill with the cheese mixture. Cover the top with the second pastry sheet. Fold over the edges and close with a fork.  Paint the pie with the remaining beaten eggs so it will brown. Cut a few vents in the top to allow steam to escape. Bake at 180C  for about 45 minutes or until golden brown.

Aussie cooks

An article on some of the Aussie Youtube chefs I follow:

Local lads lift lid on byte-sized barbecues
Rachel Wells
July 3, 2011

Aussie Griller, or Karl Petersen, has joined the growing ranks of Australian men with their own cooking channel on YouTube.

Australian men are heating up internet cooking channels.

''ALL right, guys, we've got some awesome winter man food here,'' says Aussie Griller, as he goes about making a 'Man Stew' of beef, bacon, beer and potato on a Weber barbecue.

Aussie Griller, or Karl Petersen as he is otherwise known, is a Melbourne-based customer service worker who last September launched his own cooking channel, specialising in simple man-friendly meals, on YouTube.

In doing so, he joined a growing number of Australian men - most of them amateur cooks - to have launched their own YouTube cooking channels, attracting millions of global viewers.

''We have definitely noticed a rise in the number of Australian men hosting their own cooking channels,'' says YouTube spokeswoman Kate Mason. ''There are quite a few of them out there now and some of them have got a really significant global audience.''

One of the most popular is Perth-based father of one, Rob Nixon. In 2008, while working as ground staff at Perth Airport, he launched Nicko's Kitchen ''as a bit of a hobby''. Almost three years later he has two more channels, Nicko's Bakery and Nicko's Baby Food, and almost half a million viewers a week.

His channels, which are based around ''simple foods that anyone can make'', are now so popular here and overseas that just over a year ago he quit his job to work on them full-time. He films five cooking shows a week and now makes a living out of it.

''I've always been passionate about my cooking,'' says the 28-year-old, ''so I thought I'd start making a few cooking videos and a few people started watching them and then a few more and then before I knew it this little hobby of mine became a full-time job.''

Pizza!

Pizza and kebabs are my favorite fast food. I often make a version of the prosciutto and bocconcini pizza in summer when I have fresh basil. The good thing about home made pizza is you can control the amount of cheese and other fats. Good for the waist line.

Sticky and delicious

Here are two dessert recipes I'll be adding to my must try list.

Had a go at making  one of Greg's 5 cup fruit cake. Turned out OK and was really delicious but I think Greg's cup is bigger then mine.

Ingredients

1 cup self raising flour

1 cup shredded coconut

1 cup sugar (you can use less, I used about 1/2)

1 cup milk

1 cup dried mixed fruit

method

Sticky Date Self-Saucing Toffee Pudding

David the One Pot Chef has another great recipe this week:

Maltese Baked Potatoes with pork chops (Patata il-Forn)

I haven't had this dish for years but decided to give it a go. I checked out several recipes but settled on a 4 Ingredients version of my own invention. Most recipes need curry flavoring and chicken stock so why not combine both? So here's Ralph's Maltese Baked Potatoes. (You can find the real version here)

Ingredients (for 2)

3 large potatoes
2 pork chops
1 large onion
1 packet chicken curry instant soup


Method

Slice up the onion ans spread it over the bottom of a greased baking dish. Sprinkle about 1/3 of the soup mixture over the potatoes. Lay the pork on top on the onions and sprinkle another 1/3 soup powder over the meat. Cut the potatoes into thick slices and layer over the meat. Sprinkle the remaining soup powder over the potatoes. So as to not disturb the flavoring, pour in some water from the side of the dish. Cover the meat with water. Cover the dish with some aluminum foil. Place in the oven at 200deg. After one hour remove the foil and cook for another 1 and 1/2 hours. The potatoes should be golden brown when ready.

the potatoes are crunchy and the meat just falls off the bone. Delicious!

Port Bar Parramatta

My wife and I decided to have Sunday lunch in Parramatta today. We went to the Port Bar on the banks of the Parramatta River. Great food and at reasonable price. Recommended.

seafood risotto

Crab pasta

Rice pudding

My mother regularly made rice pudding in winter, a delicious warm comfort food. Sadly that recipe went to heaven with her but last night I converted a 4 ingredients version into a dessert I'm sure she would have liked.

Ingredients

1/2 cup of rice
1 liter milk
2 table spoons of brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla flavoring
butter
some raisins
cinnamon powder

Place the milk, sugar ,rice vanilla in a greased baking dish . If you like them throw in the raisins, Shake some cinnamon in and mix well. Put a few knobs of butter on the top and add a bit more cinnamon (or nutmeg).
Cook in the oven for two hours at 150 degs.

5 minute chocolate cake

I made this a few months ago. Turned out OK but a bit too eggy. The Americans use some type of  egg in a jar mixture which I don't think is available in Australia. Give it a go if you need a quick choc cake fix.

Lemon Slice

Here David's latest treat. Looks delicious

Chocolate Pie

Here is a delicious chocolate pie from David the One Pot Chef. I made this for a Christmas party and it went to fast I didn't have to chance to have a slice!

Cooking with Karma

Cooking With Karma is the latest Aussie YouTube video channel. Here is Karma with her first recipe vegetable frittata . Looks good.

Cooking fish

My lovely wife usually gets me to cook fish and chips for Sunday lunch. Salmon is her favorite fish. Rather then frying it in oil I just add some lemon slices and fresh parsley, season and wrap in foil. They cook in about 20 minutes in our toaster oven. Delicious steamed in their own juices.

Tip: Chux cheese cloth

In making cheese you need to filter the curds from the whey. That's what cheese cloths are for but I'm not sure where to get a cheese cloth from. What I use is a plain Chux wipe cloth.  Its completely reusable, just wash after use, allow to dry and store in a sealable  plastic bag.

How to make cheese

Making cheese is easy, just boil some milk then  add some white vinegar to separate the curds. Drain in a cheese cloth  add some salt and voila! Cheese.

Watch this video to see how easy it is.

2 tablespoons chocolate sauce

1 teaspoon instant coffee dissolved in one tablespoon boiling water

Extra ADULTS ONLY  dessert recipe

Impossible Coconut Pie

I made this last night .Its the simplest dessert pie to make and just about fool proof. The coconut will rise to the top and the flour sink to the bottom to form a crust.  Its great with some ice cream or custard sauce.

INGREDIENTS

1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
4 eggs
1/2 cup plain flour
2 cups milk
1 cup shredded coconut
2  tsp vanilla flavoring
¼ teaspoon salt


METHOD

Put everything in a blender and whizz for 20 seconds. Pour in greased baking dish and bake for about 45 minutes at 200deg C

4 ingredients Maltese meat pie (torta tal-laham)

Now that Easter is over meat is on the menu again. For lunch I cooked us a quick and easy version of the Maltese meat torta. Must have been good as we both had seconds!

Ingredients

2 sheets frozen puff pastry

1 can Tom Piper braised steak with onions

1 cup frozen pies  (you can use just about any vegie but the Maltese use pies)

some butter

Method.

Put the pastry aside and let them defrost. Grease a pie dish and lay down a sheet of pastry.
Empty the can of braised steak  into the dish. Add the cup of peas , it doesn't really matter if they are still frozen. Mix well. Cover with the remaining sheet of pastry. Seal the edges with a fork.  Spread some butter over the top so it will brown. Cut 2-3 vents into the top to allow the steam to escape.  Then cook at 200 deg C for 45 minutes all until the top is golden brown.

Allow to cool then enjoy! Any leftovers can be frozen and heated in an oven latter.

4 ingredients Maltese Baked Rice (Ross il-forn)

I loved my mother's "Ross il-forn" baked rice , but it used to take her some time to prepare. I developed a simple but delicious version that only require  four main ingredients.

Ingredients:

2 cups rice

3  eggs

3/4 cups shredded cheese.

1  425g can  of Spaghetti sauce with beef

In a greased dish pour the rice , can of  sauce  and cheese.  Add 4 cups of water. Beat the eggs and add to the mixture. Mix well and add seasoning if required.

Place in a preheated oven at 200 C .  After 1/2  hour or so it will be partly cooked. The rice would have absorbed half  of the water but still sloppy. At the 1/2 cooked stage take out of the oven and mix  well to stop the eggs separating. Place back in the oven and cook until the water is absorbed.

Let it cool and eat!

Super duper easy Home made yogurt!

I thought I would take advantage of the cheap milk now available and make some yogurt. The results were delicious!

Ingredients :
1)  Milk . I used a  2 liters of full cream

  2) Some fresh natural yogurt as a culture starter.  used about 3-4  tablespoons. Not the flavored variety.

Method.

Heat the milk in a saucepan until it boils, stirring  regularly with a wooden spoon to prevent burning. Turn off when it boils. Allow to cool for 15-20 minutes, until it reaches 45 C . I used a cooking thermometer to check.  Add yogurt and mix in.

Now you need to keep it warm while the culture grows.  I poured the liquid into a plastic container, sealed it and placed it in a beach cooler bag. Then shoved and old blanket in the bag  over the  plastic container and zipped up the bag.  The next morning , after about 12 hours to allow the culture to grow . I opened the bag and voila! Fresh yogurt!

But wait there's more.

Ralph's World Famous 4 Ingredients Bread & Butter Pudding

Here's my recipe for bread and butter pudding which was published in the best selling"  4 Ingredients 2"  by Kim McCosker and Rachel Bermingham. They misspelled by first name but its me! I made it tonight so here's the recipe:

Ingredients
1 packets Fosters Egg Custard (make sure you use a custard which will set not remain a sauce)

2 &1/2 cups milk

Raisin Toast  slices.( I used 6 thick  Cafe style which are nice and spicy)

butter

Remove the crust from the bread , butter both sides and layer in a greased dish.  Pour the milk in a bowl and add the custard powder. Whisk until the power is dissolved. Carefully pour the liquid over the bread. Allow to soak through for at least 20 minutes.  (Stale bread works best as it absorbs the liquid better)
Cook in an oven at about 180 degs C for 30-45 minutes.  When the custard boils its done just allow the top to brown a bit. You can cover with some aluminum foil  if you are concerned it might burn.

Now I'm going to cut a slice and have it with some ice cream. Yum! Yum!

Eureka !! I have invented a 4 ingredients impossible pie !

I have had two of my recipes published in the 4 Ingredients books. Today I sent in another one. . I have managed to cook a delicious Impossible Pie using only four ingredients. Here it is the super easy, super tasty  Ralph's Impossible Pie.

Ingredients:

1 cup shredded coconut

1/2 cup plain flour

1 can sweetened condensed milk

1 packet Forster Clarke's Egg custard

( for the purpose of the 4 Ingredient books water and salt & pepper seasoning are not regarded as ingredients)

Put everything in a blender. Add a can of water to dilute the milk.
Blend until well mixed. Pour into a non stick pie dish and bake at 200 deg until golden brown. Let it cool and set. The coconut will rise to the top and brown and the flour sink to the bottom to form the crust. You need a custard powder that will set firm.

Delicious with ice cream!
