Lazy Mans Stir-Fry - Fast And Easy

Lazy Mans Stir-Fry - Fast And Easy

I came home from having 3 beers ,  I was a bit tired form the Party and was really hungry, but too lazy to cook.  So by just looking around  here and there in my Kitchen,  an idea came to me. With this   the “Lazy Man’s Stir-fry”  was born.

What a great and super fast  recipe when you need  something in a hurry and you have no idea what you want. With a stir-fry  all you need  is to find anything in your  cupboards or fridge form  veggies  to leftover meats and you have a meal.

I find with the stir-fry  it all goes well  with really any kind  of herbs, spices and  sauces all in one fry-pan, all goes in, add  corn starch or flour with water and presto, sauce.  Now keep  looking in your cupboards for  any type of  rice or pasta, it all goes well.  Now you do have the option to fry the  rice and pasta with a little oil in the pan and add then add  your stir-fry to it, but I like it just the way it is.

I hope you enjoy this and please tell me you recipe and adventure in Cooking.

Can you use Chopstick, I do but after awhile my fingers get tired and then I have to switch over to a fork.  Someday I guess I will have to practise it more and see if I can get to the point where I can pick-up a single piece of rice. 

I like my Stir-fry with a lot of fresh herbs and for me it has to have a good dose of hot sauce, now that's just awesome.

Pizza Procottio With Arugula

Pizza  Procottio With  Arugula

Ahh the pizza, I know that I have not done a recipe for it, I just kept making them and have my friends and Family gobble them up.  So  I figured  that all the cooking channels  were making them  and  no one would  take interest  in another pizza video.

 Now I have to say that this is my signature pizza and everyone’s  favorite here  around me.  I just love to make this one with a stone-ground flour because it gives a really nice texture and taste.  Also by lowering the amount of yeast I get it to the firmness  I want.

I did not use any tomato sauce because I wanted  it to  have a more of a crisp clean taste of the arugula with  the full flavor of the prosciutto coming through with a hit of saltiness. Now if you want to use a tomato sauce then you can  boil  say about two tomatoes and then smash them and then strain them  into a bowl. Add salt, dash of sugar, pepper  and a drop of virgin olive oil and there you go, tomato sauce…

I know this will be your best pizza that your family and friends will enjoy.

  

*************************************************************************************************************

Recipe....

2 Cups - 50/50 whole grain stone-ground flour.

1 Tsp. - Active yeast
3 to 3 Tbsp. - Olive oil (parts)
1/4 Cup - Beer
1 Tsp. - Sugar
1/2 Tsp. - Salt

Water as needed.

Topping;
-  Procottio
-  Arugula
-  Parmesan cheese

Options;
- Tomato sauce
- Sweet Peppers
- Sun dried tomatoes
- Onions

Alternative;
- Wholewheat or white flour.
- 2 1/2  Tsp. - Active yeast for more rise.



*************************************************************************************************************

I added  only 1 Tsp. of Yeast to the dough because I want a more firm pizza and this way there is less then a rise. Now if you like a more airy  dough then add up to 2 1/2 tsps of yeast and let it rise all the way. 

A good grade olive oil can make the different's between a  awesome taste or just a regular "it's ok" taste. Sprinkle it on the spread out dough but try not to over do it and have the whole thing covered.   

The saltiness of the  Procottio goes just great with the subtle  taste of olive oil. Add different  herbs to the pizza and see how you can enjoy it more.

Make sure that you let the pizza cool off for about  5 mins just enough in order not to dry out the procottio and  not to cook or over heat the arugula.

Make sure that after it cools down that you get it to the table right after you add your toppings, because of those hungry Friends and Family. They will not be able to wait with the aroma of this pizza..

lol !!  Well this was the only thing left of the two pizzas after my Girlfriend and I got a hold of them.. Trust me, Make more for you will need it.

Blacken Chicken - Galinha Preta

Blacken Chicken  -  Galinha Preta

Galinha Preta  or Blacken Chicken  just a awesome  smooth  delicate taste,  and talk about tender.  The extra  soya  just gives it a perfect  flavor and  a aroma that just fills your house.

I like this dish because you can make it in one pot and you can use any part of the chicken. So go out and see the specials  and make it your way.

I hope you enjoy making this as much as I enjoyed making the video below.

********************************************************************************************************

Recipe...

1 1/2 Lbs. -  Chicken thighs or any parts.

4 Tbsp. - Soya  sauce
3 Tbsp. - Cooking oil
2 Tbsp. - Vinegar
1/2 Tsp. - sugar
3 Gloves - Garlic
3 - Bay leaves
1 to 1/2 Cups - Water

Salt and peeper to taste



********************************************************************************************************

Remember to have the heat on high as possible to braise  the chicken with the skin down first to get the fat into the pan for that awesome flavour. Now if you want  you can remove the skin and that will make it a more of a low-fat meal. 

After braising keep the heat  down on medium low to slowly bring all those juices to the chicken and by  slow  cooking it will give a more tender meat that will melt in your mouth. This dish can also be baked in an oven proof dish on a hot oven for about 25 to mins. 

I know you and yours will enjoy this awesome dish. So easy and done really fast and easy all done in one pot. Please make extra because you will need it, because it will go fast.

I love this recipe because it is soooo  easy to make and the kid’s just love it.  Sometimes you really do not want to make and  go with all that fuss by baking. Now with this it just takes a few minutes and I can say that the cookies have a Hugh  “high five” when they see them.

Perfect  for a party  or the Holidays. I have even made them once for a wedding where we used  a certain colour to be part of the table settings.  It really look awesome on the tables.  

Try them and please let me know how it worked out for you. 

******************************************************************************************************

Recipe....

I  package of  round and flat bottom plain baked cookies.

-  Low fat or regular peanut butter.
-  Package of chocolate sprinkles.
-  Bananas

Options;
- Natella
- Add peanut butter to the top of the cookie and add sprinkles.



******************************************************************************************************

So easy to make with no fuss. Use low fat peanut butter or get an all natural  one for the health food store. I sometimes I add the peanut butter to one of the cookies and Natella to the other, either way it's awesome. 

Remember to make extra for I know it will all disappear   from experience, and do not worry about the little ones having some extra because they are good for them.

Try using different colour sprinkles and you can add a little peanut butter or Natell to the top of the cookie and add some sprinkles to it, awesome in looks and  taste.

Fish Curry - An Outstanding Dish

Fish Curry

This Is An Outstanding Dish If You Like Fish With Curry, Here All  Flavors  And Spices   Just Mingle Together   With  A Hint Of Heat.

I must say that I really like to make a lot of Indian dish’s with all it’s  full flavors of the spices and that awesome heat, just bring it on.  Of course when I ‘am  cooking  for my Friends and Family I try to keep the heat at a minimum but  then I add it to my plate to keep me and everyone happy.  

Now with a curry dish you really do not have to go through all the trouble of using so many types of spices. If you want, just pick-up a package of premix curry and  that will do it all for you.  With the mix you do not have to roast the spices,  just add it to water , coconut milk or yogurt and there it is, a perfect  Indian curry dish without all the fuss.  Try it with other meats and see how easy it can be.  

Enjoy…:)    

****************************************************************************************************

Recipe....

1 1/2 lbs. - Tilapia or other fish

1 Tbsp. - Coriander

1 Tsp. - Turmeric

1/2 Tsp. - Chili powder

1/2 Tsp. - Cumin

1 Tsp. - Mustered 

2 to 3 - Bay leaves

4 Cloves - Garlic

1 Tbsp. - Tomato paste

1 to 2 Tbsp. - Lemon juice

1/2 to 2/3  Cup - Coconut milk

Salt and pepper to taste.

Options;

- Omit all spices and use the pr-mix curry powder

- 1/3 Cup green onions

- 1/4 Cup parsley 

****************************************************************************************************

When working with the raw spices make sure that you gently roast it on low heat while then mixed with your  garlic and bay leaves to give you a full aromatic flavour. 

Add green onions to the recipe if you like or add plain onions to the pot with the Garlic. Most of the time I use the white part of the green onion at the beginning then the green part at a later part of the simmering. Try your way and see what you like best. 

To make this dish even better and to make my life easier I slice up some wraps and just put them into the toaster and presto the perfect toasted roti bread. 

Try it our way and enjoy, but make extra for I know your Family and Friends will just love it. Don't forget some extra hot sauce on the side for the ones that like it extra hot.

The herbs  and  paprika gives it that  sausage taste, now if you want  more of a Farmers  sweet  taste then just add a little honey  to it and watch all the smiles as you  make them.  How about adding some chilly and really spice up your life.. Best of all this  recipe goes with any side dish..

1 Med – Onion

2 to 4 – Minced garlic

Pre-fry the onions  and the garlic  slowly with  2 Tbsp. of cooking oil.

Bake - Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes until sausages are no longer pink in centre.

************************************************************************************************************

Make then really any size you want, but remember that because they have no casing on  they are very fragile and can break very easily. 

Remember  to keep an eye on the frying process because too hot and it will cook the outside but will be raw on the inside. The right timing will be between  6 to 8 mins.. Also try it BBQ or wrapped up in foil for camping, anywhere you can enjoy it.

So moist and tender in the centre and 100% delicious. Please make some extra because your Family will ask for more, or make extra and freeze them for another day.   

Perfect for a Morning Breakfast with sausages and eggs. Here I split them in half to heat them up more faster and at the last minute of frying I added a tsp. of honey and boy !!  was it awesome.

Mule Kicked Taters - A Must Try.

Mule Kicked Taters 

Mule Kicked  Taters, Just Right For A Snack, Ball Game Or  Just A side Dish…..:) 

I just love to make these taters they are so ease. Now why do you ask why I crush them like I did in the video. Well when it gets spread like that it crisps all around on the edges and it gives  a nice BBQ taste and the great all around “crunch” factor.

I find that by using the whole potato it will be less than a spread with the halved one. Now on the other hand , the more the potato spreads the more  crunch you get on the edges, a little more messy but  an awesome  treat.

Anyway  you  kick it, I ‘am sure you will enjoy them.  Try them with different cheese’s   or even some bacon  bits,   mmmm, mmm and mmmm.. So get you mule kicking….:)

Enjoy….:) 

**************************************************************************************************************

Recipe...

2 Lbs. -  Whole or halved potatoes. 

3 to 5 Tbsp. - Olive oil

Kosher salt as per taste

Pepper as per taste

Rosemary as per taste 

Adam cheese
Parsley 

Options 

Bacon bits

Sour cream

Other cheese's 

Other herbs 

**************************************************************************************************************

Use the potatoes with the skin on or off, it's really up to you how you want it. Now by using the whole potato and not halving it, you get a more controlled spread but less of a crunch when you bake it. 

Do not forget to make some extra because I know that they will disappear  real fast. Make many with different topping for all to enjoy..

Orange Cranberry loaf cake - Fast And Easy

Orange Cranberry loaf cake

Orange cranberry loaf cake, easy to make and fast to make. The orangery juice with its pulp   and the sweet bitterness  give it the perfect taste between sweet and tangy.  I can eat this all day and let me tell you that it did not last, in fact, it disappeared in less than two minutes at my friend's place. Just show you that when you make this cake, please make two….:) 

*************************************************************************************************************

Recipe.....

2 Cups - Flour 

1 - Orange juice and pulp

3/4 to 1 Cup - Cranberry

1/2 Cup - Plain yogourt

3/4 to 1 Cup - Sugar

1/4 Cup - Butter

1 - Egg

1 Tbsp. - Orange zest

1 1/2 Tsp. - Baking powder

1/2 Tsp. - Soda

1/2 Tsp. - Salt

*************************************************************************************************************

I add the berries like this top to  the top and it will find its place into the batter by itself. If you want more berries or layers just let the loaf bake for about 20 minutes or so to get the top a little hard and then add more to the top part of the loaf. In this way, you get a more even and better-looking loaf when you slice it

             

Make sure that you keep an eye on your loaf in the oven  for it varies on the baking time because of the oven temperature or the moisture in the loaf.  It is better to check it out with a toothpick once or twice than to have it over baked. 

After about ten minutes or so you should transfer it to a drying rack to get an even dry all around the loaf. By preparing the loaf pan the way it shows in the video should get the loaf to pop right out with ease, I would shake the pan a little first to loosen the loaf.
