Indian Cooking Recipe

Are you a fan of Japanese food? Have you been thinking of trying to cook Japanese food on your own, and yet have been hesitant? Japanese food is actually very simple and easy to prepare, as long as you have the right ingredients and equipment. There are many easy Japanese recipes available everywhere, and more and more have tried successfully to create their own Japanese dishes at home.

For many, a sushi roll is an easy Japanese recipe to follow. This is actually a very easy process. First you need to prepare sushi rice. You will need three cups of Japanese rice, three and one-fourth cups of water, one-third cup rice vinegar, three tablespoons of sugar, and a teaspoon of salt.

Cook the rice and let it steam. Mix rice vinegar, sugar and salt in a saucepan. Heat until the sugar dissolves, and wait for the mixture to cool. Place the rice in a wooden bowl, and pour the vinegar. Use a spatula to mix the rice.

Directions:

Dissolve yeast in warm water in a 2 1/2-quart bowl. Add milk, salt, sugar eggs, shortening and 2 cups flour. Beat on low speed scraping bowl constantly, 30 seconds. Beat on medium speed scraping bowl occasionally, 2 minutes. Stir in remaining flour until smooth. Cover and let rise in warm place, until double, 50 to 60 minutes. (Dough is ready when indentation remains when touched.) Turn dough onto floured surface; roll around lightly to coat with flour. Gently roll dough 1/2-inch thick with floured rolling pin. Cut with floured doughnut cutter. Cover and let rise until double, 30 to 40 minutes.

Heat vegetable oil in deep fryer to 350F. Slide doughnuts into hot oil with wide spatula. Turn doughnuts as they rise to the surface. Fry until golden brown, about 1 minute on each side. Remove carefully from oil (do not prick surface); drain. Dip the doughnuts into Creamy Glaze set on rack; when slightly cooled spread Chocolate Glaze on top. Doughnuts may be dipped into sprinkles or other toppings after Chocolate Glaze is applied if desired. Heat butter until melted. Remove from heat. Stir in confectioners’ sugar and vanilla extract until smooth. Stir in water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency. Heat butter and chocolate over low heat until chocolate is melted; remove from heat. Stir in confectioners’ sugar and vanilla extract until smooth. Stir in water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until of desired consistency.

With this, you can make any kind of sushi that you want, by putting in whatever ingredient you want inside the sushi. Notice that the only equipment you needed for this was a bamboo rolling mat, so it is best to get one for yourself. Sushi is an easy Japanese recipe that is sure to be a hit with family and friends

Butter Chicken main course

As a busy mom and wife, I am always looking for easy and time saving chicken recipes, and this one fits all of those ‘mom’ requirements.

What I like about this recipe is the fact that it is made with every day ingredients that you most likely have on hand. To save time, I will make step 1 the day before and then refrigerate it in a container. The next day, I will reheat the step 1 ingredients in the microwave for 1-2 minutes and then proceed with step 2. I do this so that I am not spending an hour in my kitchen on a busy work or school night.

Ostriche alla Tarantina (Oysters Taranto Style) are breaded and baked with parsley and olive oil. The best pairing is with Franciacorta DOCG, a bubbly wine from Lombardy made like and priced like French Champagne. If you are watching your budget, go for an Italian Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc.

Another popular local seafood dish is Seppie Ripiene (Stuffed Cuttlefish) that consists of small cuttlefish stuffed with chopped mussels and squid, breadcrumbs, capers, and grated Pecorino cheese and then baked. Recommended wine pairings include Franciacorta and Sauvignon Blanc.

If you’re in the mood for some unusual pasta, get some orecchiette, literally little ears; a hard wheat pasta native to Apulia. Then make Orecchiette con Cime di Rapa (Orecchiette with Turnip Greens). Add garlic and chili to the greens or a substitute such as Broccoli Rabe. An alternative recipe calls for the greens, onions, prosciutto ham, and lots of grated Pecorino cheese. In either case the secret for great pasta is cooking it in the same water that was used to cook the greens. And don’t eat the stalks or the leaves. Standard wine pairings include Italian Chardonnay, Riesling, or Sauvignon Blanc.

Frittata di Arugula e Due Formaggi (Arugula and Two Cheese Omelet) is made from eggs, arugula, Ricotta cheese, and grated Pecorino Romano cheese. This quick meal goes well with an Italian Riesling or Pinot Grigio.

Mix together cheese, pickle relish, mustard, chili sauce, and mayonnaise until smooth. Split franks lengthwise but do not cut all the way through. Stuff the franks with the cheese mixture. Grill franks over hot coals until heated through and the cheese is slightly melted. Serve on hot dog buns.

NOTE: You can make these franks on an indoor grill or under the broiler if the weather doesn’t permit outdoor grilling

How To Host a Wine Tasting

I hope you haven’t allowed the ‘rituals’ of wine tasting to keep you from exploring many types of wine. Learning about and trying different types of wine can really be a lot of fun. It can be a nice way to spend an evening with friends and family sharing a bottle of wine that you just discovered.

The rituals really do serve a purpose and aren’t that hard once you understand what they are and why wine drinkers do them.

Alsace is located in eastern France and borders Germany. Although its wine-producing area is quite small, in fact the second smallest of France’s eleven wine regions, it is quite well known for distinctive wines. The overwhelming majority of Alsatian wine is white. The Sylvaner grape tends not to be highly regarded but perhaps in the right winemaker’s hands…

1) Sight. You are looking for 3 major things: color, intensity and clarity. The wine should be clear and not cloudy. Gently tilt the half full glass of wine away from you. Swirl it. Observe the colors and clarity. Make sure to have a white backdrop such as a table clothe or white wall.

As you learn more there will be specific characteristics you will be looking for but for now just enjoy the richness of the colors and the way the wine swirls around the glass.

2) Smell. Again, gently swirl the glass so that the wine mixes with the air to bring out it’s full aroma. Now, stick your nose in and sniff. Breathe it in deeply. Savor it. Take some time to fully process the smells.

Again, as you gain experience you will be able to describe several layers of aroma and subtle hints of other smells, but for now just stick to the 3 basics: floral, fruity or spicy.

Don’t forget, the sense of smell is very personal. There is no right or wrong. If you think it smells fruity than it smells fruity.

Studies show that using resveratrol will substantially reduce cases of memory loss, lengthen tolerance, fight aging and the most recent studies show that it can actually combat retroviruses like herpes simplex and HIV.

A roman saying goes like “In Vino Sanitas” which construes to mean “In wine there is health”. There is no doubt that there are abundant health benefits to be reaped from red wine. However, it might not be affordable to all, because low quality red wines will not contain substantial amounts of resveratrol. The reason why one would need resveratrol supplements which are manufactured with high concentrations of the compound.

Three Restaurant Reviews

I would have never heard of Ruth’s Chris except that I sometimes watch a local cable television show which highlights all of the area restaurants on its weekly program. They did a review of Ruth’s Chris steaks, and while practically drooling on camera, they described how the steaks are drizzled in butter and cooked in a 5000 degree oven that literally makes the butter sizzle all the way to the table. While I enjoy steak as much as the next person, I’m not that much of a steak fanatic. Given that I’m rather picky about having a quality cut of meat that’s cooked just so, and since I try to watch my calorie intake, more often than not I go for a salad or a nice salmon rather than a steak. The restaurant stuck in my mind however, because I was intrigued by their oven. 5000 degrees? I never knew such an oven existed! How do they even take the steak out? Fireman’s gloves? I’m not sure if pot holders would quite do the trick.

In New England, our nearest restaurant location is in Boston. For me, raised in the suburbs of New Hampshire, Boston is something of a logistical nightmare to navigate with its one-way streets, traffic jams, parking nightmares, and outrageous prices. I wanted a special birthday for the man I love, however, so I swallowed my resistance and we headed off on the hottest day of the year for an afternoon of a Boston Harbor cruise followed by dinner reservations at Ruth’s Chris Steak House inside Boston’s old City Hall.

Even though I take issue having to pay for parking in any way shape or form, it was a relief knowing a valet would be there to collect the car and free us from worry other than the inherent worry of handing over the keys of my sole means of transportation to a stranger who might pop the clutch or worse, pop a wheelie as soon as they round the corner out of sight.

For someone who enjoys history as much as I do, getting to eat dinner at a restaurant located inside such an historical building was a treat in and of itself. The entryway was romantically dim. Despite the fact that we had reservations right at 5:00 (when the restaurant opens) and the fact that there were no other patrons standing in the reception area other than the two of us, I was mildly annoyed that the two hostesses still found a way to make us wait there for a few minutes before someone finally ushered us down into the belly of the building where we were seated in one of the dining rooms. Since it was early, we had the room to ourselves. We were offered a wine list which we declined, and water and bread were served to us by not one but two attentive waiters who stood just outside the dining room throughout the entire dinner. It was comforting to know they were there to attend to our needs, but slightly unnerving that all they had nothing to do but stand there and watch us eat. Even though I think of myself as a princess, I’m not accustomed to actually being treated like royalty.

The menu is eclectic, including a variety of steaks, seafood, and chicken dishes. Salads are fresh, topped with dressings made at the restaurant, and desserts are heavenly, especially the homemade butter pecan ice cream and the bread pudding, which can be ordered as a combo. Service is attentive and polite without being obtrusive, and ordered items come at appropriately spaced intervals to allow you to finish the previous selection, whether it be an appetizer or a salad.

During the summer months, lunch and dinner can be eaten outside under a beautiful veranda that looks out over the Kanawha River and its falls. A popular site for weddings, it is always wise to call the Glen Ferris Inn for reservations.

Pasta Dishes- Food For Thought

Pasta Dishes: Mediterranean Pasta

Americans and many other countries in the world have only recently warmed to term pasta. Having made only spaghetti and macaroni for generations the term authentic Italian pasta recipes was truly a blank canvas.

Home cooks and chefs today are becoming more sophisticated about what really are authentic Italian recipes. Well, Italian recipes are and can be simple or elaborate, practical or as foolish, store bought or made at home. But even more today, Italian recipes had become the world’s most important culinary art, and almost where ever you go you will find an Italian restaurant on the corner of a road.

In the beginning people didn’t knew much about how to boil pasta, missing some of the basic information. At the question: “How much water and salt does one need for one pound of Italian pasta?” S/he wouldn’t  probably answer at all.

The Cold Water Trick

Do not have oil to use, or cannot use it? Then try using the cold water trick when cooking Italian pasta. What you do is boil your pasta as usual. Then rinse it thoroughly with cold water. This is can be tricky if you are making pasta as a main dish and want it hot. But what you are doing is rinsing the starch off the noodles so that you can easily separate them without breaking them.

Lets move now to Italian pasta sauces determining the best  kind of tomatoes for making sauces, which is of course the diced tomatoes packed in water, not puree are best. When making “pesto” best is to pound the leaves to release the oil, blanch the garlic, and toast the pine nuts. The range of Italian sauces goes well far from simple cream sauces. Had you never tasted those made with beans and lentils? Seafood? Poultry and meat?.

Simple

For hundreds of years Italian cooking has followed a very simple principle: food is best when it’s cooked fresh and in season. The reason for this culinary fragmentation is simple: With the exception of the nobility and the clergy, before most Italians simply didn’t travel, and as a result every town and every valley has something unique. The main benefit of Italian cuisine is its healthy balance, the basic ingredients being cooked in a simple style whilst retaining their original goodness and freshness.
