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.

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.

Hope you will try these delightful chicken patties. If you do, make sure to share the photos with me on Instagram. Enjoy these flavorful and easy-to-make chicken patties at any meal!

It is a perfect addition to your holiday table or for pairing with your morning cup of coffee or afternoon tea.

Our Poppy Seed Babka starts with soft dough that’s carefully mixed and rolled out. Then, we generously spread a tasty filling of ground poppy seeds, meringue and sugar. After rolling it all up, we bake it until it turns a golden brown color and smells amazing.

When you take a bite of our Poppy Seed Babka, you’ll experience the softness of the dough and the satisfying flavor and texture of the poppy seeds. It’s a delicious treat that’s sure to please any time of the day!

How to make poppy seed babka

The recipe for this poppy seed babka is easy and with great results each time. Begin by preparing the dough and let it rest until doubled in size. Continue with preparing the poppy seed meringue filling and then start to assemble the babka. Let it rest again in the pan, brush with beaten egg and bake until golden brown. Optional, brush the babka with sugar syrup.

How to prepare the dough

In a medium bowl, combine yeast, 1/2 tsp (3g) sugar, and 1/4 cup (60ml) lukewarm milk. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes to activate the yeast.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the remaining milk, activated yeast mixture, egg yolks, vanilla extract, sour cream, and melted butter. Knead the dough until it pulls away from the sides of the bowl, either by hand or using a hand mixer or stand mixer.

Shape the dough into a ball, transfer it to an oiled bowl, and cover it with plastic wrap. Let it rest for about 1 hour at room temperature until doubled in size.

How to prepare the poppy seed meringue filling

For this recipe it is essential to use ground poppy seeds. If you can not find ground poppy seeds in stores you may need to grind your poppy seeds before going further with the recipe.

Whip the egg whites with a pinch of salt until foamy. Gradually add sugar and continue mixing until stiff peaks form. Add the ground poppy seeds and vanilla extract, and mix gently to combine. Set aside until ready to use.

How to assemble the babka

Roll the dough on a floured surface into a rectangle of about 18×10 inches (45x25cm).

Spread the poppy seed mixture evenly over the dough, leaving about a 1/2-inch (1cm) border around the edges.

Roll up the dough and cut the log in half lengthwise using a sharp knife. Braid the two pieces together, keeping the open layers exposed so the cut ends remain on top.

Transfer the poppy seed babka to a 9×5-inch (23x13cm) loaf pan lined with parchment paper. Cover with a kitchen towel and let it rest for 40-45 minutes at room temperature.

How to bake the poppy seed babka

While the babka is resting, preheat the oven to 350F (180C). Brush the bread with beaten egg and then reduce the oven temperature to 320F (160C).

Transfer the babka to the oven and bake for about 50-55 minutes, covering with aluminum foil after about 30 minutes if it browns too fast. Remove from the oven and let it rest in the pan for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, prepare the sugar syrup. In a small saucepan, add water and sugar and boil for 2-3 minutes. Brush the babka while still warm with the sugar syrup.

Let the poppy seed babka cool completely before cutting it into slices.

Treat your loved ones to the simple pleasure of our Poppy Seed Babka, a delightful pastry that’s guaranteed to bring joy with every slice.

Cinnamon Wool Roll Bread

Ella - Home Cooking Adventure — Wed, 27 Mar 2024 18:42:23 +0000

This Cinnamon Wool Roll Bread is a delightful treat perfect for holidays or for whenever craving something sweet. It combines the comforting flavors of cinnamon with the soft, fluffy texture of freshly baked sweet bread.

What sets this Cinnamon Wool Roll Bread apart is the addition of tangzhong and its unique presentation. Tangzhong is an easy technique used for achieving softer and fluffier bread.

Despite its elegant appearance once baked, making this bread is quite simple. It involves preparing a yeast dough and filling it with a mixture of cinnamon, sugar, and butter. Roll it up and bake it in a round pan until golden brown.

You can always experiment with different fillings, including savory variations, to customize it to your taste preferences.

When served each slice reveals beautiful swirls of cinnamon sugar buttery mixture. Whether enjoyed on its own or paired with a hot cup of coffee, this bread is sure to delight anyone craving a cozy and indulgent treat.

What is Tangzhong

Tangzhong is a useful technique for achieving a softer, fluffier, and more flavorful yeast bread. It’s particularly popular in Asian-style bread baking but has gained popularity worldwide for its beneficial effects on bread texture and shelf life. It involves making a water roux by cooking a portion of the flour and milk or water from the recipe into a paste, which is then added to the rest of the ingredients.

How to make wool roll bread

To begin, let’s prepare the tangzhong. In a small saucepan, combine the flour and milk, and place it over medium-low heat. Stir continuously until the mixture thickens. Once thickened, allow it to cool slightly.

While the tangzhong cools, let’s activate the yeast. In a medium bowl, mix together the yeast, 1 teaspoon (5g) of sugar, and 2/3 cup of lukewarm milk. Allow this mixture to rest for 5-10 minutes to activate the yeast.

How to prepare the yeast dough

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt. To this dry mixture, add the activated yeast, tangzhong, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Begin kneading the dough until it becomes smooth and slightly pulls away from the sides of the bowl. This can be done by hand or with the assistance of a hand mixer or stand mixer.

Transfer the kneaded dough into an oiled bowl and cover it with plastic wrap. Let the dough rest for about 1 hour at room temperature, or in a warm space, until it doubles in size.

Next, prepare the butter cinnamon mixture by combining the butter with cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl. Set this mixture aside until ready to use.

How to shape the wool roll bread

Grease and line a 10-inch (25cm) springform pan with parchment paper. Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball.

Roll out each ball of dough lengthwise into a rectangle until it reaches approximately 12 inches (30cm) in length. Spread 1/6 of the butter-cinnamon mixture over the top half of the rectangle. Then, cut the bottom half into thin strips.

Fold the long edges of the rectangle and roll the dough into a log. Place the log, seam-side down, into the bottom of the prepared pan. Repeat this process with the remaining dough pieces.

Cover the pan and let the dough rise for 45 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350F (180C).

Before baking, brush the surface of the bread with beaten egg. Then, bake the wool roll bread for 25-30 minutes, or until it turns golden brown.

Allow the bread to cool slightly before serving. If you try it out, make sure to share the photos with me on Instagram. Would love to see how it turns out for you.

Carrot Cake Thumbprint Cookies

Ella - Home Cooking Adventure — Sat, 23 Mar 2024 14:30:00 +0000

These Carrot Cake Thumbprint Cookies blend the sweet taste of carrots with the cozy flavor of oats and toasted walnuts. Baked to perfection, they’re soft and chewy with a slightly crispy exterior enhanced by the satisfying crunch of walnuts.

But the best part? The center is filled with a dollop of creamy cream cheese frosting, adding a rich and indulgent touch to every bite. The combination of textures and flavors in these cookies is simply delightful.

They’re perfect for any occasion, whether you’re treating yourself to a snack, satisfying your sweet tooth after a meal, or sharing them with friends and family.

How to make carrot cake thumbprint cookies

Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (180°C) and lining baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg until well combined. Set this dry mixture aside for now.

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and both sugars until light and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, add the vanilla extract and mix until fully combined.

Gradually incorporate the flour mixture, the grated carrot and toasted walnuts into the wet ingredients until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

How to shape the thumbprint cookies

Using an ice cream scoop or spoon, portion out equal-sized balls of dough, about 1 inch (2.5 cm) in diameter, and place them onto the prepared baking sheets. Make sure to leave about 2 inches (5 cm) of space between each cookie to allow for spreading during baking.

Using your thumb or a ½ teaspoon, make an indentation into the center of each cookie to create a well for the filling.

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-11 minutes, or until they are slightly golden around the edges. While the cookies are still warm, gently press down the centers to create a deeper well for the filling.

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5-10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

While the cookies are cooling, prepare the cream cheese frosting by mixing together the cream cheese, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

Once the cookies have cooled completely, fill each indentation with a dollop of the cream cheese frosting. Dust the filled cookies with a sprinkle of cinnamon powder for an extra burst of flavor.

Now, these delicious carrot oatmeal thumbprint cookies with cream cheese frosting are ready to be enjoyed!

Easy Chocolate Easter Cake

Ella - Home Cooking Adventure — Wed, 20 Mar 2024 14:26:17 +0000

Celebrate Easter in style with our delectable Chocolate Easter Cake. This irresistible treat promises to be the highlight of your festive table. It consists of a moist and rich chocolate cake topped generously with a luscious cream cheese frosting. Decorated with charming chocolate eggs, this cake is a delightful centerpiece for your Easter gatherings. Each bite combines the perfect balance of sweet and tangy flavors.

Let the richness of chocolate and the creaminess of the frosting transport you to a world of pure bliss. Our Chocolate Easter Cake is more than just a dessert—it’s a celebration of joy, love, and the sweetness of life.

How to make Easy Chocolate Easter Cake

Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease an 8-inch (20cm) pan with butter and line it with parchment paper for easy removal of the cake later.

Next, melt the chocolate and butter together using a bain-marie until smooth. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.

While the chocolate mixture is cooling, beat the eggs with sugar and salt using a whisk or mixer until they become thick and turn a light yellow color. Mix in the vanilla extract.

Once the chocolate mixture has cooled, add it to the egg mixture and mix until well combined.

Using a spatula, gently fold in the sifted flour until fully incorporated. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.

Bake the cake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until it is set. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean or with a few crumbs clinging to it, the cake is done.

Once baked, run a sharp knife completely around the inside edge of the pan to loosen the cake. Let it cool for 10 minutes, then carefully invert it onto a serving plate and allow it to cool completely.

While the cake is cooling, prepare the cream cheese frosting. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, honey, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Once the cake has cooled completely, spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the top of the cake.

Finally, decorate the cake with chocolate eggs of different sizes and colors for a festive touch. Then, slice and serve, and enjoy your delicious Easter chocolate cake. If you try it out, make sure to share the photos with me on Instagram. Would love to see how it turns out for you.

Easy Meatball Soup

Ella - Home Cooking Adventure — Mon, 11 Mar 2024 17:17:18 +0000

Savor the hearty goodness of our flavorful Meatball Soup. Made with tender meatballs and fresh vegetables, it’s a comforting dish perfect for chilly days or whenever you crave a comforting meal. This soup holds a special place in our family’s culinary traditions and is a cherished dish in many European countries.

Picture succulent meatballs, made from your choice of meat, either chicken, turkey, pork, or beef, gently simmered in a rich, aromatic broth alongside tender chunks of potatoes and an array of vibrant vegetables.

Each spoonful is a blend of savory flavors, enhanced by hints of herbs and spices. We love to use fresh lovage for this soup for its incredible flavor, although fresh parsley or celery leaves can serve as suitable alternatives.

What truly sets our meatball soup apart is its creamy richness, achieved by adding sour cream mixed with egg yolk just before finishing the soup, making every bite extra satisfying. Served hot with crusty bread, it’s a meal that fills you up and feels like a warm hug.

Whether it’s a cozy night in or a quick lunch, our meatball soup is a tasty choice that everyone will love. So, grab a bowl and enjoy the comforting taste of homemade goodness.

How to make meatball soup

Begin by heating oil in a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook for about 5 minutes until it becomes softened. Stir in the carrots and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Then, add the celery root, garlic, and red pepper, and cook for another minute.

Pour in the vegetable stock or water, adding chili pepper if desired, along with salt and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Allow the vegetables to cook for roughly 20 minutes until they reach a tender consistency.

While the soup is simmering, prepare the meatballs. In a medium bowl, combine the ground meat, semolina flour, egg, uncooked rice, salt, pepper, and chopped fresh parsley. Shape the mixture into 1-inch (2.5 cm) balls using a cookie scoop and wet hands, then place them on a plate.

Carefully transfer the meatballs to the simmering soup along with the potatoes. Allow the soup to return to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for an additional 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are tender and the meatballs are fully cooked.

In a separate medium bowl, mix together the sour cream, egg yolk, and minced garlic. Add 2 ladles of hot soup to the mixture, stirring well, then return it to the pot. Let it boil for 1 minute before finishing with fresh herbs such as lovage or parsley, as well as salt and pepper to taste.

Remove the soup from heat and serve it hot alongside crusty bread.

Hope you will give this soup 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 your comforting meal!

Classic Custard Pie

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.
