Potato Corn Chowder

Ella - Home Cooking Adventure — Wed, 09 Oct 2024 14:00:00 +0000

This Potato Corn Chowder bursts with the comforting flavors of tender potatoes and sweet corn in a creamy base. It is easy and quick to prepare and a perfect dish for a cold evening or a cozy meal.

This chowder begins with cooking the bacon until crispy. Then it’s time for sautéing onions, garlic, and celery, creating a savory base for the dish. Add diced potatoes, which bring a satisfying, starchy texture that thickens the soup as it cooks. The star ingredient, corn, brings a natural sweetness that beautifully contrasts with the creamy, velvety broth.

This potato corn chowder recipe is versatile, letting you adjust it to suit your tastes, whether you prefer a lighter broth or a thicker, creamier consistency. Serve it with crusty bread or crackers, and enjoy this satisfying soup as a delicious way to savor the simple yet comforting flavors of potatoes and corn.

How to make this easy potato corn chowder

To start, cook diced bacon in a large soup pot over medium-high heat until it’s browned and crispy. Once the bacon is crispy, transfer it to a bowl and set it aside. Leave the rendered fat in the pot for added flavor.

Next, add diced onion and celery to the pot, cooking until softened, which should take about five minutes. This builds a savory base for your chowder. Stir in minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Now it’s time to add your broth—vegetable or chicken—along with diced potatoes, corn kernels, dried thyme, salt and pepper. If you’re using fresh corn, don’t forget to toss in the cobs for that extra burst of flavor! Cover the pot, bring it to a boil, and then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for about 15 minutes until the potatoes are tender, checking occasionally to stir. If you want a creamier chowder, you can mash some of the potatoes against the side of the pot as they cook!

After 15 minutes, carefully remove the corn cobs. Now it’s time to add the cream. Gently heat the soup without bringing it to a boil, as boiling can cause the cream to separate. Give it a taste and adjust the seasoning with a pinch more salt or pepper if needed. Remember, the flavors will deepen as they meld together!

Finally, ladle the chowder into bowls. Garnish with fresh herbs and those crispy bacon bits for an extra touch of flavor.

Hope you will try it out and enjoy this warm and hearty dish. It is perfect for chilly days or any time you need a little comfort food.

Chicken Apple Skillet

Ella - Home Cooking Adventure — Wed, 02 Oct 2024 08:13:42 +0000

This Chicken Apple Skillet is a flavorful, hearty dish that combines seasoned chicken with the sweet, tangy notes of apples. To prepare, sear boneless chicken breasts or thighs until golden brown, locking in their natural juices. Next, add thinly sliced apples, such as Gala or Honeycrisp, which bring a sweet balance to the savory chicken. A sprinkle of herbs like thyme or rosemary enhances the aroma and adds an earthy note to the dish.

Deglaze the skillet with chicken or vegetable stock and add garlic, honey and apple cider vinegar to create a light, flavorful sauce that ties the ingredients together. As the dish simmers, the sweet and savory flavors meld into a delicious harmony, with the apples softening just enough to complement the tender chicken.

Serve this chicken apple skillet over mashed potatoes, rice, or alongside roasted vegetables for a comforting, satisfying meal. With its simple preparation and perfectly balanced flavors, this dish makes an excellent choice for a cozy weeknight dinner or a special autumn meal.

How to make Chicken Apple Skillet

To start, cut your chicken breast into even ¾ inch or 2 cm strips, ensuring uniform size so they cook evenly.

Next, season the chicken generously with salt and pepper on both sides and sprinkle with dried thyme or rosemary.

Heat some olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, ensuring the pan is hot before adding the chicken. Place the seasoned chicken strips in the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan, so the chicken sears properly. Cook the chicken for 4 to 6 minutes on each side, allowing it to develop a golden brown crust while locking in the juices. You’ll know the chicken is ready to flip when it easily releases from the pan. Once done, transfer the chicken to a plate.

How to prepare the apples and the sauce

In the same skillet, add your apple slices, making sure they’re spread out in an even layer to ensure proper caramelization. Cook the apples for about 3 to 5 minutes on each side, turning them carefully once they soften and begin to brown.

I’ve used Gala apples for their natural sweetness and firm texture, but Honeycrisp apples or Granny Smith apples will be as good. Feel free to choose the variety that best suits your taste.

Next, stir in finely minced garlic and pour in your chicken or vegetable stock to deglaze the pan, scraping up any flavorful bits that have stuck to the bottom. Add honey, butter and apple cider vinegar. Let the mixture come to a gentle simmer, allowing all the flavors to meld together. As it cooks, the sauce will reduce slightly, filling the kitchen with a delightful sweet and savory aroma.

Once the sauce is ready, return the chicken to the skillet, making sure each piece is tossed and coated in the flavorful mixture. Allow the chicken to warm through and absorb some of the sauce, creating a perfect balance of savory, sweet, and tangy flavors.

For a final touch, garnish with fresh rosemary or thyme. Serve your chicken apple skillet alongside creamy mashed potatoes, fluffy rice, or crusty bread to soak up every last bit of that delicious sauce.

And there you have it, a simple yet flavorful Chicken Apple Skillet, perfect for any occasion. Hope you will try it out and enjoy it as much as we did. If you do, don’t forget to share the photos with me on Instagram. Would love to see how it turns out for you.

Apple Crumble Muffins

Ella - Home Cooking Adventure — Wed, 18 Sep 2024 13:55:48 +0000

These Apple Crumble Muffins are a delightful combination of soft, moist muffins, infused with juicy apple pieces topped with a crunchy, buttery crumble. These treats begin with a tender muffin base, flavored with cinnamon and packed with juicy apple chunks. The muffins are made even more irresistible with the addition of a golden-brown crumble topping made from flour, sugar, butter, and a touch of cinnamon, adding a crisp texture that contrasts beautifully with the soft interior.

Perfect for breakfast, a snack, or dessert, these muffins capture the essence of autumn in every bite. The apples bring natural sweetness and moisture, while the crumble topping offers a satisfying crunch. They can be made with a variety of apples, from tart Granny Smith to sweet Gala, depending on your flavor preference. Serve them warm, fresh out of the oven, or store them for later enjoyment. Pair them with a hot cup of coffee or tea for a cozy treat.

Easy to make and loved by the whole family, these Apple Crumble Muffins are a comforting treat perfect for any occasion.

How to make apple crumble muffins

Begin by preheating the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lining a 12-cavity muffin pan with paper liners. Peel, core, and chop the apples into small pieces, tossing them with a tablespoon of flour in a medium bowl. This little trick will help keep the apples from sinking to the bottom of the muffins. Set aside.

In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. In a large bowl, mix eggs with sugar and vanilla extract. For the best results, make sure the eggs are at room temperature. Start mixing slowly at first, then increase speed until the mixture becomes creamy and fluffy. Gradually, begin to incorporate the oil, pouring it in a slow, steady stream while you continue to mix.

Next, slowly alternate adding the dry ingredients and buttermilk into the wet mixture, a little at a time. Be careful not to overmix, as we want to keep the batter light and airy. Once everything is just combined, go ahead and add the apple pieces. Using a spatula, gently fold them into the batter. Take your time to ensure the apple pieces are evenly distributed throughout, so every bite is packed with juicy apples.

Divide the batter evenly into the muffin cups, filling them just below the top.

How to make the crumb topping

For the crumb topping, combine sugar, flour, cinnamon, and melted butter in a medium bowl, until the mixture forms a nice, crumbly texture.

Sprinkle the crumbs on top of each muffin, ensuring they’re all well-covered for that perfect crunchy finish on every bite.

Bake for about 25 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick comes out clean. Once done, let them cool slightly, just enough so they’re warm but not too hot.

Now it’s time to enjoy these delicious apple crumble muffins! Give them a try, I’m sure you’ll fall in love with them just like we did. If you do, don’t forget to tag me in your Instagram stories or posts. Enjoy!

Caramel Panna Cotta

Ella - Home Cooking Adventure — Fri, 19 Jul 2024 10:04:34 +0000

This Caramel Panna Cotta is a sophisticated and delicate Italian dessert that combines the creamy elegance of panna cotta with the rich, deep flavor of caramel. It is a delectable finish to any meal, whether it’s a casual dinner or a special occasion.

This eggless and gluten-free treat begins with a simple caramel made from sugar and water, which is carefully cooked until it reaches a golden amber hue. The caramel coats the bottom and sides of the ramekins, creating a beautiful, glossy layer that will crown the dessert when inverted.

The vanilla panna cotta mixture is poured over the set caramel in the ramekins. After chilling for several hours, the panna cotta firms up to a perfectly silky texture.

When ready to serve, invert the ramekins onto plates, revealing the delightful caramel layer now sitting atop the panna cotta. This dessert is not only delicious but also looks beautiful, especially when garnished with fresh berries and sprigs of rosemary or mint. The freshness of the berries and herbs adds a vibrant contrast to the rich, creamy caramel panna cotta.

How to make Caramel Panna Cotta

Begin by preparing the caramel. Place the sugar and water in a saucepan over medium-high heat, and cook without stirring until the sugar dissolves and takes on a caramel color. Immediately divide the caramel among 4 ramekins, each with a capacity of 4-5 oz (120-150ml). Rotate the ramekins to coat the bottoms and sides with the caramel, then set them aside.

Next, prepare the panna cotta. Dissolve the gelatin in 2 tablespoons of cold water and let it swell for 5 to 10 minutes. In a medium saucepan, bring the cream, milk, sugar, salt, and vanilla to a simmer over medium-low heat, ensuring it does not boil. Once the sugar has dissolved, remove the mixture from the heat and let it cool for 5 minutes before adding the bloomed gelatin. Stir until the gelatin has completely dissolved.

Evenly divide the panna cotta mixture into the caramel-coated ramekins. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the panna cotta to set.

When ready to serve, dip each ramekin into a bowl of hot water for about 30 seconds to loosen the caramel. Run a sharp knife around the edges of the panna cotta, then invert each ramekin onto a plate. Garnish with fresh berries and sprigs of fresh rosemary or mint.

Hope you will try this amazing Caramel Panna Cotta and enjoy this elegant and delightful dessert! If you do, make sure to share the photos with me on Instagram. Would love to see how this recipe turns out for you.

Chicken Patties – The Best Recipe

Ella - Home Cooking Adventure — Thu, 27 Jun 2024 14:51:57 +0000

These Chicken Patties are a versatile and delicious dish, that is easy to prepare and perfect for any time of the day. For these patties, I use ground chicken meat but ground turkey will be as good. I like to season them with a blend of spices and herbs to create a savory and satisfying flavor. To enhance the texture and taste I like to combine the chicken with breadcrumbs, onions, garlic and vegetables like carrots or potatoes.

We like to shape the mixture into round, flat discs and cook them in various ways, including pan-frying or baking. As a leaner alternative to beef patties, these chicken patties provide a healthier choice for those mindful of their dietary intake.

You can serve chicken patties in multiple ways, as a classic sandwich on a bun with lettuce and tomatoes, in a wrap, as a protein-rich topping for salads, or as an appetizer alongside your favorite dipping sauces.

These chicken patties will surely become a family favorite and a staple in many households.

How to make chicken patties

To make these delicious chicken patties, begin by placing ground meat into a large bowl and adding finely chopped onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, two eggs, grated potato and carrot, chopped fresh parsley, salt, and pepper. Next, mix everything together until well combined. Be careful not to overwork the mixture to ensure the patties stay tender.

How to pan-fry chicken patties

Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Take spoonfuls of the chicken mixture, flatten them slightly, and transfer to the hot skillet. Cook the patties for about 4 minutes on one side until golden and crispy. Flip and cook for another 4 minutes on the other side. Transfer the patties to paper towels to drain any excess oil.

How to bake chicken patties

For baking, preheat your oven to 400ºF (200ºC) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the patties on the lined baking sheet and lightly spray them with olive oil. Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until the patties are golden brown and fully cooked through.

Serve these versatile chicken patties as an appetizer with your favorite dipping sauce, or pair them with your preferred side dishes for a complete meal. Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container and reheat before serving.

Healthy Oatmeal Brownies

Ella - Home Cooking Adventure — Thu, 20 Jun 2024 15:37:18 +0000

These Healthy Oatmeal Brownies are a delicious guilt-free treat perfect for any occasion. Made with nutrient-rich ingredients, our healthy brownies combine the classic richness of chocolate with the hearty goodness of oats for a perfect balance of flavor and nutrition.

For the recipe I use high-quality oats, unsweetened cocoa powder, semisweet chocolate and natural sweeteners like honey or maple syrup to offer just the right amount of sweetness, while keeping these brownies free from refined sugars.

To add an extra layer of nourishment, I’ve included creamy peanut butter and buttermilk, which not only enhance the texture but also boost the overall health benefits. The result is a moist brownie that’s rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals.

Perfect for breakfast, a midday snack, or a post-dinner dessert, our healthy oatmeal brownies are a great addition to any diet.

How to make oatmeal brownies

Begin by preheating the oven to 350°F (180°C). Butter the sides and bottom of an 8-inch (20 cm) square baking pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and honey until well combined. Add the vanilla extract and peanut butter (or vegetable oil) and mix well to combine. Incorporate the buttermilk, continuing to mix until the batter is smooth.

Next, add the salt, baking powder, cocoa powder, and oats to the bowl, mixing well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed. Fold in ⅓ cup (60g) of chocolate chips or chunks, blending them into the batter.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips or chunks on top for an extra chocolatey finish.

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the brownies to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these delicious, chocolatey treats warm or at room temperature.

Classic Custard Pie

Ella - Home Cooking Adventure — Sat, 09 Mar 2024 14:50:38 +0000

This amazing Custard Pie is a classic dessert with a rich, creamy texture. With its buttery crust and smooth custard filling infused with a hint of nutmeg it’s the perfect dessert for any occasion. Each bite bursts with flavor offering a delightful explosion of creamy goodness.

Whether it’s the highlight of a family gathering or a sweet treat on a lazy afternoon, this custard pie never fails to impress. Its simple ingredients and comforting taste make it a timeless favorite for dessert lovers of all ages.

How to make Custard Pie

The recipe for this custard pie is quite easy and can be made in advance. Start by preparing the crust, blind bake the crust and then prepare the custard filling.

How to prepare the crust.

In a large bowl, mix together the butter, powdered sugar, and salt until light and fluffy. Add the egg and continue mixing until well combined and creamy. Gradually incorporate the flour into the butter mixture until fully combined, being careful not to overwork the dough. Wrap the dough with plastic wrap, shaping it into a disc, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Roll out the chilled dough between two pieces of parchment paper or plastic wrap until it reaches about 13 inches (33cm) in diameter. Press the dough onto the bottom and edges of a 9-inch (23cm) pie pan, crimping the edges as desired. Refrigerate the crust for about 30 minutes before baking.

Line the chilled crust with parchment paper and fill it with dry beans, rice, or pie weights to prevent it from puffing up during baking. Bake for 20 minutes. Then, remove the weights and parchment paper, and return the crust to the oven to bake for another 10 minutes. If the edges begin to brown too quickly, cover them with a tart shield or aluminum foil shield.

Allow the partially baked crust to cool slightly on a wire rack. Lower the oven temperature to 325°F (160°C).

How to prepare the custard pie filling

Whisk together the eggs with sugar and salt until well combined. Gradually incorporate the milk and cream, followed by the vanilla extract and freshly grated nutmeg. Be careful not to overmix the mixture to avoid creating air bubbles. Sieve the custard mixture to remove any coagulated bits of egg.

Gently pour the filling into the pre-baked pie crust. Grate some additional nutmeg over the top of the pie for added flavor.

Bake the pie for 40-45 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still has a slight wobble. If necessary, cover the edges with a tart shield or aluminum foil shield while baking to prevent over-browning.

Carefully remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack at room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate the pie for several hours or overnight before serving.

Hope you will give it a try as I am sure everybody will be delighted. If you do, don’t forget to share the photos with me on Instagram. Enjoy!

Gently, pour the filling into the baked pie crust. Grate some more nutmeg over the top of the pie.
Bake for 40-45 minutes until set at the edges but still a bit wobbly in the center. cover the edges with a tart shield or aluminum foil shield while baking.
Carefully remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack at room temperature.
Once cooled, refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
