Leafy Greens with Onion and Walnut Recipe

lettuce loose-leaf

walnuts chopped

maple syrup

0 As required salt

extra virgin olive oil

red onion

garlic

chilli flakes

Numbers raisins

water

lime zest

Numbers cucumber

kale

First, remove the tough stems from the kale, and tear it into 1- 2 inch pieces. This would yield around six lightly packed cups of kale. Transfer these greens to a bowl of cold water.

Preheat the oven to 350 degree Fahrenheit. Meanwhile, in a bowl chop the walnuts and toss them with the maple syrup and a pinch of salt. Spread the nuts on a small baking pan and bake for about 10 minutes, stirring once or twice, until the nuts are lightly browned and have a toasty fragrance. Cool it at room temperature.

In a large saute pan or skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Peep the onions and slice them in a bowl. Add the sliced onion to the pan along with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes and stir frequently until the onion turn soft. Turn the heat to low and cook slowly for about 20 minutes stirring occasionally until the onions turn brown and soft.

Once the onions are soft, add the garlic and red chili flakes and stir for about 30 seconds until you smell the garlic. Add the raisins and again stir for about 30 seconds. Add water and stir briskly, loosing any flavourful bits from the bottom of the pan. Add 1/4 teaspoon salt and stir to combine. Bring it to a boil and cook over medium flame until the greens are tender and the water has evaporated. This should take about 10 minutes. Stir in the lemon zest.

Arrange the greens on a plate or bowl and sprinkle with maple toasted walnuts, and serve fresh.

Pottage is a traditional British recipe, which has been in existence since medieval times. This dish is quite dynamic, since the ingredients can be changed according to one's own wish. It was earlier known as "A mess of Pottage", since the ingredients were simply added in a saucepan and cooked over wooden fire, without the use of any specific ingredients. This non-vegetarian recipe normally uses a grain like oats or barley, vegetables and meat if it is available. It can also be made as a vegetarian dish by excluding the chicken and using tofu or even soy. It is a stew, but can also be consumed as a soup. Serve this on a winter night, as it is quite hearty and warm with pieces of your choice of bread and cold meat-cuts. Enjoy!

How to Make Cake at Home: Homemade Cake Recipe, Bake a Cake at Home & Cake Ingredients

sugar

baking soda

milk

vanilla essence

Making a homemade sponge cake was never so easy. Begin by mixing sugar and butter together. Whisk well until light and fluffy with a manual whisker or a fork. Once done, add the beaten eggs and blend well. Beat further so that the mixture turns white and creamy.

Sift together the all-purpose flour and baking soda. It is done to evenly distribute the baking soda in flour. Gradually, add this to the egg mixture. If required, add a little milk and mix till the batter is fluffy and soft. You may not add the entire milk if you feel the consistency of your cake is fine and it pours down like canned condensed milk. Add vanilla essence and blend well. Vanilla essence is important to camouflage the smell of eggs and to make the cake taste delicious.

Now, take a baking tin to cook the cake and grease it well using some butter or cooking spray. Then, sprinkle some maida or all-purpose flour on it. It will prevent the cake from sticking to the base. You can also line it with butter paper so that when the cake is baked, it can be taken out easily. Pour the prepared cake batter into the prepared tin and place it on a stand in a pressure cooker. Do not add water to the cooker and ensure that the tin does not touch the base of the cooker. You can also keep the baking dish on an inverted steel plate. Increase the flame and pressure cook for two minutes. Now, remove the whistle and cook on low flame for 35-40 minutes. If you are using an electric oven, cook at 180 degrees for 30-35 minutes.

Insert a knife or a metal skewer into the cake and if it comes out clean, then the cake is ready. Remove from the oven/cooker and allow to cool on a wire rack. This cooling process is done so that the cake doesnt break down in between and comes out nice and clean. Once cooled enough, turn the cake tin upside down to remove the cake. You can also use the butter paper to lift off the cake, but you have to be a pro to make it happen quickly as it can also break the cake. So, its better to turn the tin upside down for a better cake. Before decorating, cut an even slice of the cake from the top to prevent any doomed top. But make sure you do this step when the cake is still warm and not completely cold. Now, take some whipping cream and line the cake with it evenly and scrape any extra cream. Once done, you can use cherries to decorate the cake or even tutti-frutti, it completely depends on your choice. The cake is ready now.

To make whipping cream for a cake at home, all you need is a mixing bowl, some heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, vanilla extract and an electric mixer. Take the bowl and add heavy whipping cream in it along with powdered sugar and vanilla extract in it. Whip them all together at medium-high speed. One must understand here that it should not be overdone. If the cream comes out grainy and curdled, its a hint that you have over-whipped the cream. The soft whipping cream will be done in a few minutes, say about 2-3 minutes. Make sure to stop in between and check the consistency of the whipping cream. The perfect whipping cream will have a sturdy peak in it when lifted off. It should not be too soft or liquidy, and curdled or heavy. Once done, you can transfer in a cone as well to decorate your cake.
