Winter vegetable tagine recipe


The Arabic Food Recipes kitchen (The Home of Delicious Arabic Food Recipes) invites you to try Winter vegetable tagine Recipe. Enjoy the Moroccan Cuisine and  learn how to make Winter vegetable tagine. 

Brighten up a winter's day with a vibrant vegetable tagine. The slow, gentle cooking brings out the sweetness of golden root vegetables such as carrots and kumara, accentuated by the natural sweetness of apricots, dates and honey, with the nuttiness of chickpeas for protein. Add a spoonful of aromatic spices, such as saffron, ginger and turmeric and it’s like basking in warm rays of sunshine.

Ingredients (serves 4)

1 tbs olive oil
2 onions, thinly sliced
2 large carrots, peeled, cut into 8cm lengths
1 large parsnip, peeled, cut into 8cm lengths
300g kumara, peeled, cut into 2cm pieces
300g butternut pumpkin, peeled, cut into 2cm pieces
2 tbs tomato paste
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp ground saffron (see Notes)
1 tsp each ground ginger and turmeric
2 cinnamon quills
Vegetable stock or water, to cover
400g canned chickpeas, drained, rinsed
2/3 cup (100g) dried apricots
8 soft, pitted dates
2 tbs honey
2 tbs chopped flat-leaf parsley or coriander
1/2 cup (40g) flaked almonds, toasted
Harissa and couscous, to serve (optional: see Notes)

Method

Heat oil in a large flameproof casserole over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until softened.

Add carrot, parsnip, kumara, pumpkin, tomato paste, cayenne, saffron, ginger, turmeric and cinnamon quills. Pour in enough vegetable stock or water to just cover and bring to a gentle simmer. Cover and cook gently for 45 minutes.

Add the chickpeas, apricots, dates, and honey. Season, then simmer for a further 20 minutes or until vegetables are tender and the mixture is thick and soupy.

Scatter with herbs and almonds. Serve with harissa and couscous, if desired.

Notes

Ground saffron is from selected supermarkets. Harissa is a Tunisian chilli paste from gourmet shops and delis.

Citrus Ginger Cake with Spiced Orange Compote Recipe


The Arabic Food Recipes kitchen (The Home of Delicious Arabic Food Recipes) invites you to try Citrus Ginger Cake with Spiced Orange Compote Recipe. Enjoy our collection of Christmas Recipes and  learn how to Make Citrus Ginger Cake with Spiced Orange Compote. 

The flavor of this spiced orange compote improves with time so make it a day ahead or the morning of your party. Serve chilled in a clear bowl so the colors show through.

10 servings

Active Time: 35 minutes

Total Time: 1 hour 35 minutes

Ingredients

1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup mild-flavored extra-virgin olive oil
2 large eggs, at room temperature, separated (see Tip)
2 tablespoons freshly grated orange or Meyer lemon zest
1/3 cup fresh orange or Meyer lemon juice
5 tablespoons chopped crystallized ginger, divided
1 cup whole-wheat pastry flour
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons confectioners' sugar
Spiced Orange Compote, (recipe follows)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350°F. Oil an 8-inch round cake pan (see Variation), line with parchment paper and oil the parchment.

Stir together honey, oil, egg yolks, zest, juice and 3 tablespoons crystallized ginger in a medium bowl. Sift whole-wheat pastry flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder and salt into a large bowl. Beat egg whites with an electric mixer on high in another medium bowl until soft peaks form, 1 to 2 minutes.

Stir the honey mixture into the flour mixture with a wooden spoon. Gently fold in the egg whites with a rubber spatula until they are well combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.

Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes. Run a knife around the edges of the pan to loosen the cake and turn it out onto the rack. Let cool completely.

Just before serving, sift sugar evenly over the top of the cake and garnish with the remaining 2 tablespoons ginger. Serve with Spiced Orange Compote on the side.

Tips & Notes

Make Ahead Tip: Prepare through Step 4, tightly wrap in plastic wrap and hold at room temperature for up to 1 day. | Equipment: 8-inch cake pan (see Variation), parchment paper

Tip: To bring an egg to room temperature, set it out on the counter for 15 minutes or submerge it (in the shell) in a bowl of lukewarm (not hot) water for 5 minutes.
Variation: You can use a 9-inch cake pan for this recipe, but you will get a thinner cake. Reduce the baking time to 25 to 30 minutes. You can find 8-inch cake pans at well-stocked kitchenware stores or online at surlatable.com.

Spiced Orange Compote Recipe

10 servings, about 1/2 cup each

Active Time: 50 minutes

Total Time: 50 minutes

Ingredients

8 small oranges, preferably seedless
2 cups water
5 tablespoons sugar
1 vanilla bean
1 cinnamon stick
2 whole cloves
1 star anise

Preparation

Use a 5-hole zester to remove zest from oranges into long, thin, spindly strips (see Variation). Bring water to a boil in a small saucepan. Add the zest to the boiling water and cook for 3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a small strainer (reserve the cooking liquid). Rinse with cold water; separate and drain on a paper towel.

Stir sugar into the reserved cooking liquid; bring to a simmer. Cut vanilla bean in half lengthwise; scrape the seeds into the sugar water and add the pod along with cinnamon stick, cloves and star anise. Continue to simmer until the sauce reduces to 1/2 cup and thickens slightly, 20 to 30 minutes. Remove from the heat.

Meanwhile, slice off an end of each orange so they stand upright steadily. In careful sculpting slices, remove all the remaining peel and white pith from the oranges with a very sharp knife. Slice the peeled oranges into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Remove any extraneous pith or rind and any stray seeds.

Discard the vanilla pod and whole spices. Stir the zest into the sauce. Layer the orange slices in a serving bowl, spooning the sauce between layers to distribute the zest evenly throughout.

Tips & Notes

Make Ahead Tip: Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days.

Variation: If you don't have a 5-hole zester, use a vegetable peeler to remove long strips of the outer skin (zest) of the orange. Cut the zest into thin slivers.

Chocolate Coconut Meringues Recipe


The Arabic Food Recipes kitchen (The Home of Delicious Arabic Food Recipes) invites you to try Chocolate Coconut Meringues Recipe. Enjoy our collection of Christmas Recipes and  learn how to Make Chocolate Coconut Meringues.

These chocolate, coconut and almond meringue cookies are so light and airy, they are a perfect little treat that’s not too heavy.

30 cookies

Active Time: 25 minutes

Total Time: 3 hours

Ingredients

4 large egg whites
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4 teaspoon coconut extract or imitation coconut extract
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tablespoons semisweet chocolate chips or finely chopped chocolate
2 tablespoons trans-fat-free white chocolate chips or finely chopped white chocolate, such as Sunspire

Preparation

Position racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 250°F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper or nonstick baking mats.

Beat egg whites, cream of tartar, coconut, almond and vanilla extracts and salt in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until combined. Gradually beat in sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, beating until stiff, shiny peaks form, 6 to 8 minutes.

Sift cocoa over the mixture and gently fold together with a rubber spatula until combined.

Spoon the meringue into a gallon-size sealable bag (or pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch tip). Seal the bag, pressing out as much air as possible. Cut a 1/2-inch hole in one corner of the bag. Pipe the meringue into 2-inch circles, about 1 inch apart, on the prepared baking sheets.

Bake on the upper and lower racks for 50 minutes. Turn off the heat and let the meringues stand in the oven with the door closed until completely dry, about 1 1/2 hours.

Melt semisweet and white chocolate (see Tip) and drizzle or pipe onto the cooled meringues. Let stand until it sets.

Tips & Notes

Make Ahead Tip: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Some crispness may be lost during storage.

Kitchen Tips: To melt chocolate, place chocolate in a bowl and microwave on Medium for 45 seconds. Stir; continue microwaving on Medium in 20-second intervals until almost melted, stirring after each interval. Continue stirring until completely melted. Or place in the top of a double boiler over hot, but not boiling, water. Stir until melted.

To decorate cookies with melted chocolate, use a pastry bag fitted with a fine writing tip to pipe the melted chocolate or dip tines of a fork in chocolate and drizzle. You can improvise a pastry bag with a small plastic bag. Add melted chocolate to the bag, cut a tiny hole in one corner and squeeze the chocolate out.

How to make Macaroni and Cheese


20050918 Macaroni & Cheese
Recipe for Macaroni and Cheese. Made with cheddar cheese, butter, milk, parmesan cheese, cayenne pepper and macaroni.


Ingredients for Macaroni and Cheese:
  • ½ cups butter

  • 4 cups milk
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup Parmesan or Monterey Jack cheese
  • ½ tsp cayenne pepper, or to taste
  • cooked macaroni

  1. Make a roux using half cup of butter (a stick) and half a cup of flour.
  2. Add 4 cups of heated milk and stir until smooth to complete the white sauce.

Make Your Own Gingerbread House for Christmas


 The Arabic Food Recipes kitchen (The Home of Delicious Arabic Food Recipes) invites you to try Make Your Own Gingerbread House for Christmas Recipe. Enjoy our collection of Christmas Recipes and  learn how to Make Your Own Gingerbread House for Christmas.

Christmas isn’t Christmas without crackers, candy canes and your very own gingerbread house.

Gingerbread house kits are now readily available but considering how easy (and how much fun) it is to make your own house we suggest you start planning your own edible grand design that will make a wonderful centrepiece over the Christmas season.

This is a great project for kids and adults to work on and you can be as creative as you like. Use the template as your guide (or risk uneven foundations!) but feel free to play around with the trimmings. There is no limit to what can be used as decoration so scour your pantry and the supermarket to come up with quirky, edible decorations which personalise your very own house.

The extra time to allow icing to dry is very important and should not be skipped or else your house may collapse. Your gingerbread house will be edible for one week but will last a lot longer for display purposes. Keep it out of direct sunlight to ensure nothing melts!

For the Gingerbread
250g unsalted butter
200g dark brown sugar
7tbsp golden syrup
600g plain flour
2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1 ½ tbsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground cinnamon

To Decorate
200g bag flaked almonds
1 can white ready-made icing
Icing sugar for dusting
Mini chocolate finger biscuits
Chocolate flake or chocolate roll
Selection of coloured sweets such as musk sticks, smarties, jubes, edible silver balls, candy canes

Method
Pre-heat fan oven to 200C. Melt the butter, sugar and syrup in a pan until mixed and smooth. Mix the flour, bicarbonate of soda, ground ginger and ground cinnamon into a large bowl, then stir in the butter mixture to make a stiff dough. Add a splash of water if it won't quite come together.

Cut out the six pieces of the gingerbread house template provided. Put a sheet of baking paper on your work surface and roll about one quarter of the dough to the thickness of 5mm.

Cut out one section, then slide the gingerbread, still on its baking paper, onto a baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough, until you have two side walls, a front and back wall and two roof panels.

Pick out the most intact flaked almonds and gently push them into the roof sections, pointy-end first, to look like roof tiles. Bake all the sections for 12 mins or until firm and just a little darker at the edges. Leave to cool for a few mins to firm up, then trim around the templates again to give clean, sharp edges. Leave to cool completely.

You might find it easier to decorate the pieces at this stage while they are flat. If so, use the icing to stick sweets on the side of the house to represent windows, doors and other embellishments. Allow to dry for a few hours.

Gather the front, back and two side pieces of gingerbread and the board/plate you’ll be displaying the house on. Pipe icing generously along the wall edges and carefully join the walls together so that the four pieces are sitting on your board/plate. Use extra icing to secure in place. Use a jar to support the walls from the inside and allow to dry for at least a few hours but ideally overnight. This is essential to ensure the house is strong enough to support the roof pieces.

Remove the jar and affix the two roof panels with icing. You’ll need to hold these in place initially to keep them secure until the icing starts to dry. Allow to dry completely, again ideally overnight. Any gaps left where the pieces don’t quite fit can be filled in with extra icing. Now it’s time to decorate!

Cut the chocolate flake or chocolate roll on an angle and affix to the roof with icing to make the chimney. The mini chocolate finger biscuits can be used along the side of the house and the door. Pipe a little icing on top to represent snow. Sift icing sugar onto the roof of the house and even the whole board for a snowy finish.

DECORATING TIPS
- For a thatched roof look use mini wheat cereal
- Pretzels can be used along the facade of the house to create a log cabin feel
- Decorate upturned ice cream cones as trees with icing and green sweets, topped with a star
- Use lollies and sweets to create a winding path from the front door of your house
- Personalise your gingerbread house with the street number of your real house and add gingerbread figures to represent the people who live inside

1-ounce (25 grams) dark chocolate-covered coffee beans
Edible glitter
Gold mini balls
About 10 edible gold stars

Directions

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).

Line the sides and bottom of an 8 by 3 1/2-inch deep, round loose-bottomed cake tin with a layer of reusable silicon baking parchment. When lining the tin with the parchment, cut the material into strips that are twice as high as the tin itself (it is easier to use two shorter strips of parchment, than one long strip); the height of the strips protects the cake from catching on the outside of the cake tin.

Place the fruit, butter, sugar, honey, coffee liqueur, orange zest and juice, mixed spice and cocoa into a large wide saucepan. Heat the mixture until it reaches a gentle boil, stirring the mixture as the butter melts. Let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat and leave to stand for 30 minutes.

After 30 minutes, the mixture will have cooled a little. Add the eggs, flour, ground almonds, baking powder and baking soda, and mix well with a wooden spoon or spatula until the ingredients have combined.

Carefully pour the fruitcake mixture into the lined cake tin. Transfer the cake tin to the oven and bake for 1 3/4 to 2 hours, or until the top of the cake is firm but will has a shiny and sticky look. At this point, if you insert a sharp knife into the middle of the cake, the cake should still be a little uncooked in the middle.

Place the cake on a cooling rack. Once the cake has cooled, remove it from the tin.

To decorate, place the chocolate-covered coffee beans in the centre of the cake and arrange the gold stars around the perimeter of the top of the cake. Then sprinkle some gold mini-balls over the whole cake and sprinkle the top with edible glitter.

Moroccan Skirt Steak with Roasted Pepper Couscous Recipe


The Arabic Food Recipes kitchen (The Home of Delicious Arabic Food Recipes) invites you to try Moroccan Skirt Steak with Roasted Pepper Couscous Recipe. Enjoy the Moroccan Cuisine and  learn how to make Moroccan Skirt Steak with Roasted Pepper Couscous. 

Thin cuts of beef, such as skirt steak or sirloin steak, cook very quickly when seared in a hot skillet—just right for a busy weeknight. We love how the spicy Moroccan flavors on the steak complement the sweet, roasted pepper-studded couscous. Serve with: Arugula salad and a glass of Pinot Noir.

4 servings
Active Time: 35 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

2 medium bell peppers
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 whole lemon, plus more lemon wedges for garnish
1 teaspoon plus 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, divided
2/3 cup whole-wheat couscous
1 pound skirt steak (see Note) or sirloin steak, 3/4 to 1 inch thick, trimmed
2 tablespoons chopped green olives

Preparation

Position rack in upper third of oven; preheat broiler.
Place bell peppers on a baking sheet and roast under the broiler, turning every 5 minutes, until charred and softened, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a clean cutting board; when cool enough to handle, chop the peppers into bite-size pieces.
Meanwhile, combine cumin, coriander, salt, turmeric, cinnamon and pepper in a small bowl. Grate 1/2 teaspoon zest from the lemon. Juice the lemon into a 1-cup measure and add enough water to make 1 cup. Pour into a small saucepan and add the lemon zest, 1 teaspoon of the spice mixture and 1 teaspoon olive oil. Bring to a boil. Stir in couscous, cover, remove from heat and let stand.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet (preferably cast-iron) over medium heat until shimmering (but not smoking). Rub the remaining spice mixture on both sides of steak. Cook the steak 2 to 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Let rest on the cutting board for 5 minutes. Stir olives and the peppers into the couscous. Thinly slice the steak and serve with the couscous and lemon wedges, if desired.

Tips & Notes

Ingredient Note: Skirt steak is a thin, flavorful and relatively inexpensive cut of beef. It is sometimes referred to as fajita steak. Look for it in well-stocked supermarkets or ask your butcher to order it for you.
