Challa Recipe

INGREDIENTS:
2 1/4 cup of Water

1/4 cup of Oil
1 tablespoon of Yeast (active),

2 Eggs, beaten
10 cup of Flour (or less)
1 tablespoon of Sugar

1 Egg yolk
1 tablespoon of Salt (optional)

1 tablespoon of Water
DIRECTIONS:
Dissolve the yeast and sugar in lukewarm water (105 degrees F.). (Lukewarm
water feels neither hot nor cold when a drop is placed on your wrist.) Let
sit for 10 minutes to proof the yeast. If there are no bubbles in the
water after this time, the yeast is inactive and you should start over with
new yeast.
Add the salt (optional), oil, eggs and most of the flour to the 2 1/4 cups
of water. Mix. Place dough on floured board and knead for 5-10 minutes.
Place dough in a clean bowl, brush some oil on the top (optional) and cover
the bowl with a towel. Let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 1/2
hours.
Punch the dough down and let rise until doubled again (maybe another hour).
Punch dough down and place onto floured board. Form into two loaves. You
can make normal loaves, or you can cut the dough and braid (with three or
six pieces per loaf), or you can make braided or un-braided rolls, or you
can roll the dough out until it's about 1/4 inch thick and then spread.

fried onions over it. Place loaves into oiled pans.
Cover pans and let rise for about 30 minutes. (Skip this step if you've
rolled the dough out and covered with onions.)
Mix the egg yolk with about 1 tablespoon of water. Brush loaves with this
mixture. (Again, skip this if you've rolled the dough out.) Bake at 400
degrees F. for 20 minutes, then lower heat to 350 degrees F. and bake for
40 additional minutes. If you are making rolls, you probably need to bake
for a total of 20-25 minutes.
You can add poppy or sesame seeds to the dough, or you can sprinkle the
seeds on top. This bread is traditionally made with white flour, but is
still good if made with all or part whole wheat flour. I think its good
taste comes from the oil and eggs in the dough.

Sweet Potato Pie Recipe

INGREDIENTS
* 3 large eggs
* 1 x quantity sweet pastry
* 100g golden caster sugar
* 1kg large sweet potatoes
* 50g unsalted butter, melted
* 4 level tbsp plain flour
* 1/4tsp ground nutmeg
* 2tsp vanilla extract
* Ground cinnamon
FOR THE CLEMENTINE CREAM
* 250ml (9fl oz) double cream (or natural yoghurt for a slightly 'skinnier' version)
* Zest and juice of 3 clementines
* 2tbsp golden caster sugar
* 4 clementines, peeled and sliced into rounds, to serve (Optional)
DIRECTIONS
* Preheat your oven to 200C. Make your pastry, and while it's in the fridge for 30 mins prick your sweet potatoes with a fork, lay them on a baking tray and pop them into the oven - they'll need about 50 mins to an hour, until they're soft and cooked through. When they're ready, take them out of the oven and turn the temperature down to 180C. After the pastry has had 30 minutes in the fridge, continue through the method until baked blind.
* While the pastry case is in the oven, peel the skins off the roasted sweet potatoes and discard. Put the flesh into a large bowl and mash it up. Melt your butter in a saucepan on a low heat and add it to the sweet potato with the sugar, flour, nutmeg, a large pinch of cinnamon and the vanilla extract. Whisk 2 eggs in a separate bowl, pour them into the mixture, then mash everything together until completely combined.
* Spoon your sweet potato mixture into the cooled pastry case, and use a fork or spoon to spread it out evenly. Dust a clean surface and a rolling pin with flour and roll out your leftover pastry (plus any bits that you trimmed off the sides). Cut it into long strips, a bit longer than the width of your tart. Drape these strips over the top, crisscrossing them as you go so you get a nice lattice design on the top. Tidy up the sides, then beat your remaining egg and brush it over the pastry. Put the pie into the oven and bake for 45 to 50 mins, until it's gorgeous and golden.
* Make your clementine cream just before serving by whipping the cream, clementine zest and juice and sugar together until you've got soft peaks. Take your pie out of the oven and let it cool for about 25 mins before serving with the clementine cream.

Irish Stew Recipe

INGREDIENTS
* 1-1½ kg neck or shoulder of lamb
* Bouquet of parsley, thyme and bayleaf (tied together with twine)
* 3 large onions, finely chopped
* Salt and freshly ground black pepper
* 3-4 carrots, chopped into bite-sized pieces
* 1 small turnip, chopped into bite-sized pieces
* Some small new potatoes, peeled and quartered, or large potatoes, peeled and chopped
* 75-100g cabbage, shredded
* Finely chopped parsley and dash of Worcester Sauce
DIRECTIONS
Remove the meat from the bone, trim off all the fat and cut into cubes. Keep the bones, place the meat in a pot, cover with cold salted water. Bring to the boil, drain and rinse the lamb.
In a fresh pot put the meat, bones, bouquet of herbs, onions, seasoning, carrots, leeks and turnip and cover with water. Simmer gently for one hour. Skim off the foam as it rises. (this is very important for the final flavour and appearance of the stew.) Add the potatoes and continue cooking for 25 mins. For the last 5 mins add in the cabbage. When the meat and vegetables are cooked remove the bones and bouquet for herbs. Stir in the chopped parsley and a dash of Worcester sauce. Serve in large bowls with soda bread.

Mexican Salad Recipe

INGREDIENTS
* 2 carrots, peeled and finely sliced
* A small bunch of radishes (about 10), trimmed and finely sliced
* A large bunch of fresh coriander, leaves and stalks finely chopped
* 2 large jalapeño chillies (or other green chilli), to taste, finely sliced
* ½ a small red cabbage
* ½ a small white cabbage
* 1 red onion, peeled and finely sliced
* Extra virgin olive oil
* Juice of 2-3 limes
* Sea salt
DIRECTIONS
1. The best way to make this is to use a food processor with a slicer attachment or a mandolin. If you don't have either of those, use a speed peeler, or simply grate everything finely.
2. Shred your white and red cabbage into 2 separate piles. Put just the white cabbage into a large bowl with the radishes, carrots & most of the coriander. Mix everything together really well, then kick up the flavours by adding almost all the chopped chilli, the sliced red onion and a good few lugs of extra virgin olive oil. Add most of the lime juice and a good pinch of salt, then toss together and have a taste. Just keep adjusting everything, adding more fragrance with the coriander, heat with the last of the chilli and acid with another squeeze of lime juice, until it's just right for you.
3. When you're happy, fold in the red cabbage right before serving and eat.

DIRECTIONS:
Dump everything together and mix until well-combined. Pack into small jars
and label (the now-empty spice jars that held the ingredients are a good
size). Store in a cool dry place. Crumble spices in hand when using.
Measure spices by volume, not by weight, because of the large variation in
moisture content.

Coleslaw Recipe

A great coleslaw recipe!
INGREDIENTS
1 cabbage
1 tablespoon of Lemon juice
1 cup of mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
1/2 cup of onion, diced very fine
DIRECTIONS
Cut the core out of the cabbage and cut it into pieces. My mother likes to
cut it into big pieces; I like to cut it into little pieces. I think she
wants to make certain that nobody will accuse her of having used a food
processor. Mix the pepper and lemon juice and onion in with the cabbage.
Add the mayonnaise, mix well and refrigerate.
Vary the amount of mayonnaise according to how much you are worried about calories.
Vary the amount of onion if you do or don't like raw onion.

Hot Rum Toddy Recipe

DIRECTIONS
1 lb Dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon of White cardamom
1/2 lb Butter, salted
ground
1 teaspoon of Nutmeg, ground
Dark rum, top-quality
1 teaspoon of Cinnamon, ground
1 teaspoon of Cloves, ground
DIRECTIONS
MAKING THE BATTER: Put all batter ingredients (everything but the rum) in
a food processor and run it until the mixture turns creamy. Fold it down
once with a rubber spatula to make sure the spices are blended in, and run
the food processor some more.
Scoop the mixture into a plastic container, and refrigerate. It will keep
for many months in the refrigerator, even though it contains butter.
MAKING THE DRINKS: Fill a coffee mug half full of boiling water. The
easiest way to do this is to put a mug of hot water in the microwave. If
you don't have a microwave, then fill the mug with boiling water, pour it
out, then fill it half full of boiling water.
Add about 2 generous tablespoons of batter. Stir until the batter
dissolves in the hot water. I use a small wire whisk for this stirring.
Add 2 jiggers (about 3 oz) of the best rum you can afford. When I make
this in quantities for parties I like to use Myers Dark Rum.
