Torrijas

In the Easter holidays I travelled to Seville and I always went to the same café. In the shop window there were loads of different sweet and salate food but I always fixed in the "torrijas" so now I will put the recipe so you can taste it. There are lot of variants, I will write some of them. Enjoy it :)

Ingredients:

-6 slices day-old bread
-1 / 2 liter milk
-2 eggs
-Olive oil
-3 tablespoons sugar
-Cinnamon

Preparation:

Step 1: Pour the hot milk (with sugar already built) on a plate and let the bread soaking do not overcook, take off and become a source to drain, after an hour to soak.

Step 2: The bread is passed by the beaten eggs and fry until browned on both sides ..

Step 3: sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar to taste. French toast can be eaten cold or hot and served a lifetime as a good dessert and a great and healthy breakfast.


Variants / Cheats / Secrets:

Tip 1: Cut the bread into slices of a thick finger. Tip 2: Remove the toast from the pan, drained and placed in a tray. Finally, sprinkle with cinnamon or sugar to taste. You can also make french toast with syrup. Tip 3: you can add a few lemon peel by heating the milk. If you let it boil, let it cool slightly.. Tip 4: orange stripe in the egg. Tip 5: French toast can be decorated with strawberry or currant jelly. Tip 6: another variant according to the traditional toast is to add a bit of strong coffee or coffee liqueur to the milk (or both) and end with the usual process. Tip 7: bread soaked in milk with cinnamon, is dipped in egg and fried, is a source prepared a syrup of sweet white wine, a little water and sugar, put the toast to warm to suck a little
syrup.

Torrijas sweet wine: instead of the milk is soaked with sweet red wine (1 / 2 liter) served with a little honey.

French toast. A variant of the family are French toast French toast (the movie Kramer vs. Kramer explains them very well): bread dipped in egg and milk are poured into the pan with a little oil or butter ... simple and delicious.

Torrijas Seville. Another variant is the Torrijas Seville, which sends Lan recipe: To make this simple dessert, we need day-old bread crumbs that have a consistent, white wine, eggs, honey and olive oil, cut into oblique slices (since sell well.) Beat two eggs, bread soaked in white wine rather insisting on the edges so there is no dry, pass through the egg and let it drain well, eventually fry in hot oil and then bathe in honey diluted with a little water.

Torrijas my style. Heat the milk with lemon peel, sugar and cinnamon, when it's cooked, take a glass of brandy and cool too little, because with the hot milk, soak up more. It is left to drain a bit in a colander, and dipped in egg, fried, put on kitchen paper and then dipped in sugar and cinnamon. (525)

Biscuits and chocolate cake!

The other day was my birthday and I was very excited abou make this cake because when I was a child and celebrated with my friends my birthday, my lovely aunt make this cake for me. Now I made this for all my family and they like it a lot, even the little children like it. Now it's your time to prepare it.

-400 g chocolate
-250 gr butter
-5 eggs
-300 gr sugar
-2 strips and biscuits mean square (this may vary depending on the mold)
-1 cup milk
-3 tablespoons of instant coffee or coffee maker.

Preparation:

Put the chocolate in a water bath to get rid. I've put a pan of water in another saucepan with the chocolate. Can also be done by putting very hot water in a bowl and put the chocolate inside. Then without moving the chocolate, water is removed and surprise, the chocolate is melted.

Separate the whites from the yolks. Meanwhile, the chocolate has started to melt. To the yolks we add the diced butter and rather squishy...The chocolate is already melted.

Beat the yolks with a whisk butter or machine to assemble and then add the chocolate.Eye that is not too hot. It must be a smooth cream. The residual heat melt chocolate over the butter.

Beat the egg whites until stiff with a pizquilla of salt and vinegar and when they are mounted you add the sugar to a meringue disk. We know they are mounted when to turn down the bowl will not fall.Add to chocolate meringue mixture to the yolks and butter and beat with mixer.

Line a pan with paper or paper Albal film (I prefer the film). So stripped better cake. We have to let on film and then cover the pie and not dry in the fridge.

Make a cup of coffee (with milk and instant coffee or coffee maker, which we like more).I would not put sugar, which has already been quite the rest.

We dip the cookies completely, but leave them in for not too soft ... And we put a layer on the film's mode, to cover the bottom. Then cover the mixture with previous. And again, the layer of cookies in milk wetback.

So to finish filling the mold. We must be careful to leave some mix then cover the cake.The last layer should be cookies. In my case, I put 5 layers of biscuit (not bad eh? Lol).Cover with the film unused.

And we leave in the refrigerator about two short hours or until we see that has hardened.Line the edges of the dish with foil presentation. This is so that when we cover the plate is not contaminated.

We turn the cake on the center of the plate and demold. We see how easy it has been because of the role film .We removed the film and prepare to cover with the mixture we had booked before. We cover everywhere We put some cookies in a bag and crush with anything heavy. We put them over the edge of the cake with a spoon or with what we find it more comfortable. To cover the entire border.Carefully remove the foil and the plate is clean us, so we save a lot of paper.

Now for the decor. Melt some chocolate and generously paint a piece of plastic bubbles (previously well we will wash, eye!) In this chocolate will do a kind of grid on a butter paper or Silpat sheet or silicone. Let cool in the refrigerator or freezer and carefully separate. Do the same with the plastic bubbles and put on the cake.

And the cake is finished! It has to be like more or less like the photo. Try to make it, it is very easy to make and very very very delicious. Enjoy it :) (578)

Macaroni

This recipe is one of my favourite meal. I do it every week because I like it loads. In my case I add a bit of “ñora” and give a diffe

rent taste that is very good and delicious.

MACARONI (4 people)

Basic Ingredients:

-250 grams macaroni
-Tomato sauce (1 / 4 kilo)
-2 medium onions
-100 grams of cheese striped Mozarrella
-Olive oil
-1 bay leaf
-2 cloves garlic
-Salt
-Ground black pepper
-Oregano

Steps:

Step 1: Fry finely chopped onions with three tablespoons of oil and salt. In the medium frying adds 2 cloves garlic, minced or finely chopped. Fried onion is soft and then when you add the tomatoes and fried (if you have bought already prepared in pot) and oregano. After heating the mixture from the heat for later use as a sauce for macaroni.

Step 2: Put a pan fire with water, a bay leaf and three tablespoons of olive oil.When it starts to boil, put salt and macaroni. They move with a wooden spoon and when it starts to boil again, reduce the heat, not to stop and go boil stirring occasionally. Usually left about 8 minutes (or the advice of the container you bought macaroni).

Step 3: macaroni and drain on a rack. Prepare a greased roasting pan with a little oil (to prevent sticking), first check the sauce and tomato-onion prepared with well and drained macaroni and mix well. Finally catches the grated cheese over and introduces the roasting pan in the oven.

Step 4: The oven must be prepared to grill at a medium temperature and tray - roasting pan is placed at mid-height. When the cheese starts to fall apart and be as macaroni golden brown take them out and they are ready to eat.

Macaroni support many variations: leftover meat (cooked, roasted), tuna. If the meat has already been done is added the tomato to become part of the sauce. If the tuna is canned before it drains the oil and add the tomato sauce. The grated cheese can also be gruyere or parmesan.
Tip: The pasta should be cooked uncovered. To drain through the strainer is good to pass by a jet of cold water to stop cooking. Hint: spoons of oil in the boiling water to help prevent sticking.

I think that all the people know how to do Macaroni because they are very easy to prepare and very fast in the preparation. If you don’t have to do a meal this is the best option: pasta.

Enjoy it J (423)
