2016 recap

Well, last year’s attempt at getting back into blogging didn’t quite go according to plan.  To be frank, my whole year didn’t go quite according to plan.  Nothing terrible happened to me but the year just seemed to fly by and I managed my time very badly indeed.  That said, I did 2 beginners blocks of flamenco dancing and also started silversmithing classes, both of which I really enjoy and hope to continue into 2017 and beyond.

Had great times in the kitchen, cooking up a storm, although still haven’t learned to decorate sugar cookies or make quite as many new dishes as I planned.

Beading took a bit of a back seat, with only 3 projects getting finished but have some new ideas and plans in the pipeline and I’d like to incorporate some of my silver work in with it once I develop my skills a bit.

I’ve been crocheting up a storm, it’s such a nice hobby to do on the couch, in front of the tv, on cold dark winter nights.

Again, I’ve failed badly at my attempt to dedicate more time to dressmaking.  I’m really mad at myself, as I love clothes and it is one of my ambitions to become skilled at making them.  I actually think I may be putting too much pressure on myself, so this year I aim to just chill and enjoy the process.

I’m about to embark on an embroidery sampler project, which I’m really looking forward to – I don’t know many stitches at the moment, so it will be a bit of a journey of exploration.  Can’t wait for my linen to arrive.

Anyway, enough chitter chatter, I have a ton of unfinished projects just begging to be completed.

 

Jelly & Custard Cupcakes

It’s was my brother-in-law’s birthday last weekend, so I baked him some cakes:

Piña Colada cupcakes – by special request.  I even put little umbrellas in them.

Oodles of Obliciousness - Pina Colada Cupcakes

I also made jelly and custard cupcakes.  These are always a great hit with the little ones (and big ones too!)

Oodles of Obliciousness - Jelly & Custard Cupcakes

The Piña Colada ones were from Love Cupcakes, my hands down favourite cupcake book.  The jelly and custard ones are also based on a recipe in the book but I’ve tweaked it so many times it doesn’t bear much resemblance to the original.  Here’s my recipe for them:

Ingredients
for the cakes:
  • 125 g unsalted butter (at room temperature)
  • 125 g caster sugar
  • 1.5 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs (large, at room temperature)
  • 125 g self-raising flour
  • 0.5 tsp baking powder
  • 3 tbsp milk
  • raspberry jam
for the frosting:
  • 125 g unsalted butter (at room temperature)
  • 0.5 tsp vanilla extract
  • 250 g icing sugar
  • 3-4 tbsp (heaped) custard powder
  • milk
Servings: cupcakes
Instructions
To make the cupcakes:
  1. Pre-heat oven to 180 degrees c and line a muffin/cupcake tray with cupcake cases.
  2. Put the butter, caster sugar, and vanilla extract in the bowl of your mixer and beat until pale and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs and mix to combine (don't worry if it looks a little curdled at this stage, adding the flour will sort that out).
  4. Add the flour and baking powder and beat again until combined.
  5. Add the milk and beat again.
  6. Divide the mixture evenly between your cupcake cases, bake for approximately 20 minutes, until a skewer comes out clean, and turn out on a wire rack to cool.
  7. Once cupcakes have cooled, using an apple corer or knife, removed a section of cake from the centre, taking care not to go straight through to the cupcake case. Fill the space with raspberry jam and pop the piece of cake you removed back in.
To make the frosting:
  1. Beat the butter and vanilla until pale and fluffy
  2. Add the icing sugar and beat, slowly at first, until the mixture comes together. Add the custard powder and beat again to incorporate
  3. At this point, you will probably find the frosting to be a little too thick. Add milk, one tablespoonful at a time, until it reaches your desired piping constituency.
  4. Add the frosting to the cupcakes using either a piping nozzle of your choice or spread on with a palette knife.
Recipe Notes
  • I use a very heaped tbsp sized measuring spoon to measure the mixture into the cupcake cases.  This will give around 16 cupcakes.
  • I find squeezy seedless jam ideal for these cupcakes.
  • I prefer about 4 very heaped tablespoons of custard powder in my frosting, as I like it to be quite custardy.
  • I like to use large nozzles, as they allow me to cover the cake quickly and easily (cake decorating is not a skill I possess!).

New Year, same old Oblibby

Happy New Year, Oodlers.  Hope 2016 brings you everything you wish for.  I always have mixed feelings at New Year; excitement at the fresh start and all the projects I’m looking forward to undertaking in the next 12 months, mixed with sadness (and a touch of anger) at everything I’ve failed to achieve in the past year.  I know I can’t do everything, but I really, really want to structure my life so I become more productive and use my free time better this year.  We shall see…

When I’m making up my project list for this year* I’m definitely adding a couple of things from these books I got a Christmas.  Both look wonderful and have so many things I’d like to make.  I think I’ll got with the orangutan from Edward’s Menagerie and the bull from Animal Heads as the first one from each book.

Oodles of Obliciousness - Christmas 2015 Crochet Books

*Actually, I think maybe listing the projects I want to do and ticking them off as they’re complete might be the way forward for me.  Ideally I’d only like to have one large and few small projects on the go at any given time, as I’m terrible for starting larger projects and having so many on the go I become overwhelmed and end up doing nothing.  I’ll report back on the list situation and let you know if it’s working or not.

I’m also looking forward to trying out my new cooking and cocktail books.  The Nopi one will be great for dinner parties and special occasions, whilst Spuntino is full of hassle-free food to cook at weekends.  Tequila Mockingbird is full of literary based cocktails, so looking forward to posting some fab booze pics soon.

Oodles of Obliciousness - 2015 Christmas Cookbooks

On the subject of cooking, I’m definitely going to get back to posting regular recipes here.  I’m also going to slightly change the way I cook and start doing more batch cooking for midweek meals, instead of cooking something from scratch every night.  I’m hoping this will free up a bit more time to spend on my crafty projects, as I’d really like to do a fair later in the year.

One of my current makes is taking a little longer than expected.  I’m making a Fair Isle tank top, using a pattern from Debbie Bliss’ Blue Faced Leicester DK book.  I’m using Patons Merino Extra Fine DK in shades Camel (105), Wine (132), Olive (171), Chartreuse (174), Blue Nile (155), Black (199), and Cream (102).  It’s a long time since I’ve knitted anything and had forgotten just how much longer it takes to do than crochet.  I’m really enjoying making it although it has to be said it’d definitely a design which needs my full attention.  Here’s my progress so far.

Thanks for looking.  I would love to see what you’re making or cooking, or even projects you’d like to do at some point in 2016.

 

Patatas Bravas with Chorizo and Poached Egg

Hello again!  You may have noticed, my last attempt to keep updated didn’t quite work out according to plan, but the good news is I now know what was causing my fatigue and I’m well on the way to recovery.

I posted a picture of this on my facebook feed and one of my friends asked for the recipe, so I thought what better way to kick start my blog again.  This one’s for you, Moogle ;).

Ingredients
  • 1 baking potato (peeled or unpeeled, depending on your preference; I prefer the skin on)
  • 50 grams chorizo (cut into chunks)
  • 0.5 tin chopped tomatoes
  • 1 clove garlic (crushed)
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 0.5 tsp chilli powder (increase or reduce this amount to suit your own taste. I prefer a little more, but whilst the dish should be spicy, it shouldn't be searingly hot)
Servings:
Instructions
  1. Pre-heat your oven to 200 degrees and brush or spray a baking tray with oil.
  2. Cut the potato into 2cm (approx) cubes, place on the baking tray and spray or coat with more oil. Sprinkle salt on top and bake for around 20 minutes until the potatoes begin to crisp up on the outside and soften in the middle.
  3. Sprinkle the chorizo on top of the potatoes then cook in the oven for another 5 minutes or so.
  4. Whilst the potatoes are cooking, mix together the tomatoes, garlic, paprika, and chilli (don't worry about pre cooking the garlic, as the sauce will cook in the oven later).
  5. Add the sauce to the potato and chorizo mixture, reduce the oven temperature to 160 degrees and cook for a further 10-15 minutes or so until sauce has started to thicken -
  6. When your potato mixture is almost done, poach your egg.
  7. Put the potatoes in a dish, top with the egg, and sprinkle with a little more sea salt.
Recipe Notes

If you want to be really decadent, you could deep fry the potatoes in true Spanish style, and top with a fried egg.

Spicy Chicken and Butternut Squash Tagine

This tagine is a spicy, but the heat is balanced out by the sweetness of the dates and apricots.  The added bonus of being able to bung everything in the oven after some basic prep work makes this an ideal week night dinner.  If you’re not a chicken fan, this would also be great with lamb or a mixture of roast vegetables.

Recipe Notes

I serve this with plain couscous.

It also keeps well as leftovers for lunch the following day.

As always, I'd love to hear your feedback on any of my recipes you've tried.

Tortilla Española

Potato, egg, and onion.  It can’t be amazing, can it?  It absolutely can!

Let me introduce to the foodie wonder that is tortilla española.  It’s a bit like an omelette, but then again, it’s not.  The texture is different and it tastes better cold than hot.  This is one of my favourite tapa dishes, especially in the summer.  Okay, I have many, many favourites, but tortilla española is definitely near the top of my list.

  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 medium potatoes
  • 1 large onion
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 6 large eggs
Servings: as a main meal (or 8-12 as a tapa)
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 165 degrees c. Finely slice the potatoes and onions using a food processor, mandolin or knife. Heat the oil in a large, shallow frying pan then add the sliced potato, onion and salt and saute until just cooked.
  2. Break the eggs into a large bowl or measuring jug, beat, then add the cooked potato and onion.
  3. Transfer the mixture to a smaller frying pan or baking tin (if using a pan, make sure it's suitable for oven use). Cook on the hob for a couple of minutes until bottom of mixture has just started to set. * For guidance, my pan is 21.5cm dia by 5cm deep. Make sure your pan is not too shallow - it won't work in a crepe pan.
  4. Move the pan to the middle shelf of the oven and cook for 20-30 minutes until the top is a light golden colour and the eggs have set.
  5. Now tip the tortilla out onto a plate and allow to cool down to room temperature. You can have it warm if you wish, but somehow it always tastes better when it has cooled down.
  6. Slice into wedges or cubes and serve.
Recipe Notes

I love this with a nice cold glass of manzanilla....or a nice glass of red...or a beer.

I really hope you give this one a go.  If you do, please let me know how you get on.

Keema Matar

I’ve had a couple of weeks off blogging, as I’ve been battling to overcome a virus for a few months.  I’ve shaken it off now though and getting back to full strength.  We’re heading over to India again for this week’s recipe.  Simple, tasty, and not too spicy – I give you Keema Matar, which is basically the Indian version of mince and tatties.

  • 1 tsp ground cumin

  • 250 grams frozen peas
  • 120 ml (1 cup) full fat Greek yoghurt
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • fresh coriander (chopped)

Instructions
  1. In a large pot, heat the oil and saute the onion until soft.
  2. Add the garlic, ginger, chilli, cumin, and turmeric and cook for a couple of minutes.
  3. Add the lamb mince and cook until nicely browned. Now add the salt, yoghurt, and peas, cover with a lid or foil, and cook for a further 10 minutes or so.
  4. Stir in the lime juice and serve, topping each portion with chopped coriander and flat breads or rice.
Recipe Notes

I really hope you enjoy this one - it's become a bit of a favourite in this house.  If you're a bit afraid of curry, or not a lover of anything too spicy, this would be perfect for you.  Very aromatic and tasty, with just a bit of underlying spice.

I had my first attempt at making parathas to accompany this - they were so good, but it's also great with chapatis or naan.  If you're aiming for a lower carb option, it is really nice with cauliflower 'rice' too.  As I was typing this up, a thought popped into my head that this would also be tasty topped with potato as a shepherd's pie, or even as a baked potato topping.

Thanks for looking.

Espinacas con Garbanzos

..or spinach and chickpeas. This is one of my favourite tapas, and is basically what it says on the tin – a stew of spinach and chickpeas.  I’ve used frozen spinach and tinned chickpeas for this recipe because they’re quick and this is a great meal to rustle up if you’re not quite sure what you’d like for dinner.  Of course, you can use fresh spinach and/or dried chickpeas if you wish; just remember to soak the chickpeas then boil them (without salt) until they are tender and cooked.

Ingredients
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 thick slices ciabatta bread (a day or 2 old is best. If you don't have ciabatta, use a couple of large, thick slices of any unseeded bread)
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 0.5 tsp chilli powder
  • 4 cloves garlic (crushed)
  • ground black pepper
  • 4 tbsp sherry vinegar
  • 2 tins chickpeas (drained)
  • 1kg bag frozen, chopped spinach
  • 1 tsp salt
  • smoked paprika
Servings: as a main meal (8-10 as a tapa)
Instructions
  1. Heat the oil over a medium heat in a large pan or casserole pot. Whilst the oil is heating cut the bread into cubes. Add the bread cubes to the hot oil and shallow fry until they crisp up and turn golden.
  2. Add the cumin, chilli, garlic and black pepper (I use 20-30 twists of the grinder) and heat for another minute or two until you start to smell the garlic.
  3. Pop the bread and spice mix into a food processor, add the sherry vinegar and blitz into a thick paste. Return the mixture to the pan and add the drained chickpeas. Stir together to coat the chickpeas with the bread paste.
  4. Add the frozen spinach and salt, cover and cook over a medium low heat, stirring every 5 or 10 minutes, for half an hour or so until the spinach is thawed and the stew and hot throughout.
  5. Serve in a bowl with a drizzle of olive oil and sprinkling of smoked paprika. This is delicious with warmed slices of your leftover ciabatta with alioli spread on it.
Recipe Notes

Add the frozen spinach, cover and cook over a medium low heat, stirring every 5 or 10 minutes, for half an hour or so until the spinach is thawed and the stew and hot throughout.

Pork & Chestnut Casserole

This year, spring has been a long time coming, so I decided to use the leftovers from Sunday dinner to make a nice hearty casserole.

With this one, the pork can easily be swapped with venison or beef.  If your meat hasn’t been pre-roasted, don’t worry, just cook for an extra 30-45 minutes then add  the chestnuts and cook for a further 30 minutes.

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 300 grams baby button mushrooms (halved)
  • 500 grams roast pork (cubed)
  • 2 cloves garlic (crushed or finely chopped)
  • 2 tsp rosemary (chopped)
  • 10 juniper berries (crushed)
  • 1/4 cup red wine
  • 1 pork stock cube
  • 200 grams chestnuts
Servings:
Instructions
  1. If you are using an oven-proof pan, pre-heat your oven to 160 degrees c. Heat the oil in a large pan or casserole and cook the onions with half a teaspoon of sugar until they start to caramelise.
  2. Add the halved mushrooms and keep cooking until they also start to brown.
  3. Now add the pork, garlic, rosemary, and juniper and give a good stir to combine the ingredients. Pop the stock cube into the pot, along with the wine and quarter of a cup of water. Stir again. Add the chestnuts, put the lid on the pot and cook in the oven for half an hour or so.
  4. If you feel you want to add some gravy (I did), do that just before serving. Serve with mash and green beans (or peas if you forget to pick up some green beans!)
Recipe Notes

Make sure you use chestnuts, not water chestnuts.  I once went to a local restaurant where the 'partridge with chestnuts' came with water chestnuts - not a very pleasant culinary experience.

Mexican Cottage Pie

Everyone loves a cottage pie, so I thought I’d give it a nice Mexican twist.  The inspiration for the topping came from the wonderful Thomasina Myers, who is a bit of a hero of mine, not least because she won Masterchef.  The Mexican street food in her Wahaca restaurants is so, so good.  The last time we were in London, we went to the original one near Covent Garden for lunch, which was brilliant.  I thoroughly recommend her book Mexican Food Made Simple.  There are also Wahaca – Mexican Food at Home and Chilli Notes books, which are on my wishlist.

A couple of the ingredients listed in this recipe are a bit more difficult to source than the ingredients in my previous recipes, but they’re not essential; where a suitable alternative exists, I’ve also given that (or you can leave them out completely).  You’ll also notice the cooking time is a bit longer, however the meat and bean mixture can be made in advance.  Actually, the pie freezes really well; should you wish to freeze it, I recommend cutting it into individual portion sized pieces, wrapping in cling, then popping in a freezer bag.

Without further ado, I give you Mexican Cottage Pie.

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion (sliced)
  • 3 bell peppers (sliced)
  • 5 or 6 red chillies (finely chopped or ground to a paste or 1 tsp chilli powder plus more to taste)
  • 4 cloves garlic (grated or crushed)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika 1
  • 1 tbsp mole (or square of 80%+ dark chocolate) - optional
  • splash balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tsp dried epazote - optional
  • 1 tsp dried tarragon
  • 750 grams pork shoulder steaks
  • 500 ml passata
  • 1 or 2 cans red kidney beans (drained)
Pie Topping
  • 3 cans sweetcorn (large cans - drained)
  • 3 tbsp cornmeal (or plain flour - not cornflour)
  • 10 grams butter
  • 1 tsp salt
Servings:
Instructions
  1. If you're using an oven proof pan, preheat your oven to 150 degrees.
  2. Heat the oil over a medium hot heat, add the sliced onions and peppers, salt and sugar, and cook for 10 minutes or so, stirring occasionally. You want the vegetables to be soft and starting to brown.
  3. Add the grated/crushed garlic, cumin, coriander, epazote, tarragon, smoked paprika, and half the chillies.
  4. Add the pork, then stir well to coat the meat and vegetables with the spice mix. Now, add the passata, vinegar, and mole (or chocolate) and stir again. Taste the sauce and add the rest of the chillis if you wish. Put the lid on your pan.
  5. If using an ovenproof dish, transfer to the oven and cook for 90-120 minutes until meat is tender and falling apart. If you are not using an ovenproof dish, cook for the same amount of time on a gentle heat, stirring every now and again to stop the mixture sticking. Add the beans then transfer the filling to a large ovenproof dish.
  6. Adjust the oven temperature to 175 degrees. Put the topping ingredients into your food processor and blitz into a very course paste.
  7. Spread the topping onto your pie filling and bake for 30-40 minutes or so until the pie topping starts to form a crust.
