Previous years i have attempted the 'Risotto' which is not anywhere near as hard as i thought it would be and with a little help from Jamie oliver, a friends mum and a few practices i have it down pat and have altered the recipes to suit my needs.
My most fav one is chorizo sausage, bacon and mushroom with plenty of white wine in it too!
This year however, i have set a rather large challenge and am going to attempt to make the famous dessert 'Croque en Bouche' which is delish, and even though i am more of a savoury fan i absolutely love the sweet pastry with the custard center and the amazing toffee on top. I mean seriously, who could honestly resist that! mmm... my stonach is growling at the thought of it.
I am also attempting to make perfect omelettes which i have been taught by my brother and his girlfriend. Seeing as breakfast is by far my most favourite meal of the day i am keen to master this one asap.
The omelettes are rather easy:
Simply separate 3 eggs (whites from yolks), and beat each or them lightly.
The whites do NOT need to be peaking, just simply combined together.
Cut all your ingredients into bite sized pieces- this can be any combination of things. Some suggetions are:
chorizo (yes i love it and use it frequently)
spring onions, grilled/ sundried tomatoes, mushrooms, bacon, cheese, holoumi, feta or goats cheese, asparagus.
Anything you like really.
In a hot pan heat some butter or oil and pour in the egg white and make sure it covers the whole pan.
Then pour over the egg yolks and gently swirl it through with a fork.
let it sit for a second then add your topping to the top of the egg.
Cook until base is browning and then using 2 flips, gently flip one side over.
this will only need to cook like this for a short while.
Serve on a plate with yummy crunchy turkish bread or something similar.
Its truly amazing, a little fussy but totally worth it!
Will keep you updated when i start attempting them both!!
Garlic lover.
