Words & Brush Recipe Corner: Belgian waffles

Belgian waffles 

By PASCALE PEREZ-RUBIN, Jerusalem Post, AUGUST 6, 2022 

https://www.jpost.com/food-recipes/article-713840

 

Check your pantry for toppings that your family members like eating on waffles  such as maple syrup, chocolate, raspberry or strawberry jam, powdered sugar, silan ( date syrup )  or honey. Some people also like to add whipped cream or ice cream to their waffles. 

Makes 12-14 waffles. 

Ingredients

1¾ cups flour, sifted (can combine with whole wheat or spelt flour)

1 packet baking powder

2 Tbsp. powdered sugar

Pinch of salt

100 gr. butter, melted

2 large eggs, beaten

1¼-1½ cups milk, buttermilk, sour cream or whipping cream

2 tsp. vanilla or lemon zest

Butter for the pan

Serving suggestions:

• 1 container sweet whipping cream
• ¼ cup powdered sugar
• Melted chocolate, maple syrup or honey
• Cut-up fresh fruit, such as apples, pears, grapes, mango, strawberries or other berries

Directions 

Heat the waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Mix the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt together in a large bowl. While mixing, add the melted butter, beaten eggs, milk or other liquid, and vanilla or zest. Mix vigorously until all the lumps have disappeared. 

Lightly grease the waffle maker. Pour 2-3 tablespoons of the mixture onto the waffle maker so that it fills up all the sections. Close the device and let the waffle cook until it has turned golden brown. Remove the waffle and place it on a serving platter. Make the rest of the waffles in the same fashion until you’ve used up all the batter, greasing the device each time.

You can serve the waffles plain, with just a little sugar or powdered sugar on top. But if you’d like to make them even more special, serve them with maple syrup, melted chocolate, whipped cream and/or cut-up fresh fruit and a ball of ice cream. 

Level of difficulty: Medium.Time: 1 hour.Status: Dairy.

ENJOY !!

Words & Brush Recipe Corner: Gazpacho Taste Of Summer

 Gazpacho Taste Of Summer

By Lisa Starr, Meatland

https://www.meatland.net/recipes

Ingredients

1 kg cherry tomatoes*
3 cucumbers, roughly chopped
1 large red pepper, cut in chunks
1 green pepper (or another red pepper)
1/2 red onion, cut in chunks
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar OR lemon juice
2 teaspoons crushed garlic
2 tablespoons olive oil
Generous sprinkle chili flakes/Sriracha
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves **
Maldon salt to taste
Coarse pepper to taste

* Or 8 very ripe red tomatoes plus 2 to 3 tablespoons of tomato paste for added flavor. Cherry tomatoes are sweeter though and don't need chopping.

** Basil can be replaced with 1/2 - 1 teaspoon each cumin and smoked paprika for a more traditionally Spanish taste but I love the freshness of basil.

GARNISH: Fresh basil leaves, halved cherry tomatoes, cucumbers peeled into ribbons and rolled, drizzle of olive oil, pistachios, coarse pepper

Directions

1: Blend/process soup ingredients together till very smooth - if it doesn't all fit into your blender then blend some of ingredients and then add remaining once there is more space - and refrigerate for at least 3 hours till very cold.

2: Garnish with the suggested toppings and serve in ice-cold bowls. Feel free to add tomato juice ice-cubes for added chill.

Enjoy

Words & Brush Recipe Corner: Minted Roast Zucchini Platter

 Minted Roast Zucchini Platter

By Lisa Starr, Meatland

https://www.meatland.net/recipes

Ingredients 4 large zucchini, halved and tops trimmed* 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 1/2 cups Greek yoghurt (notes for dairy-free) 2 teaspoons crushed garlic 1 teaspoon dried mint (see notes how to make this) 1 teaspoon crushed coriander seeds (notes) 2 tablespoons lemon juice Maldon salt (preferable) and coarse black pepper Fresh mint leaves to garnish 1/2 tablespoon olive oil to garnish * Either pale green or dark green will do. If they are very large then I cut them lengthwise into 1/4 so you get 4 wedges from each. Directions 1: Heat the oven on grill, toss zucchini with 2 tablespoons olive oil and season very well with salt and pepper.  2: Arrange cut side up on a paper-lined tray and grill for 15-20 minutes till golden-edged and soft. 3: Mix yoghurt with dried mint, garlic, lemon juice and seasoning and spoon most of yoghurt onto a flat platter. 4: Add the zucchini, spoon remaining yoghurt over, drizzle over 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil, fresh mint leaves and coriander seeds if using.  DRIED MINT HOW-TO: This is a fabulous trick. Place fresh mint leaves in a single layer on a plate and microwave for approximately 1 minute. Check after 50 seconds. It takes 1 minute 20 seconds in my microwave to dry but it can dry faster in stronger powered microwaves. Leaves should still be bright green but dry. Crumble with your fingers to make crumbled dried mint for cooking. You can also keep leaves whole and rehydrate them in mint tea. No more using fresh mint once and it rotting before you can use it again. Dried mint is wonderful here, sprinkled over lamb, added to citrus syrups and drizzled over fresh fruit, and many more options. COOK'S NOTES: Look out for dairy-free yoghurt as an alternative or experiment with soya cream. Adding the lemon, olive oil and garlic will make it much like the yoghurt results. Delicious as a dairy dish but you do have parve options. Coriander seeds from spice shops are wonderful when lightly crushed - in a food processor or even with a rolling pin - and added to roast zucchini and also roast eggplant dishes.

Enjoy
