Cheesy, Herby Quick Bread

This

Cheesy, Herby Quick Bread

Cheesy, Herby Quick Bread

is best suited for a Ladies Luncheon. The recipe fluttered into my house with the Dorie Greenspan’s newsletter. There were some leftover cheeses that were wonderful in this bread.

Today is not only Mother’s Day but also the state election in Schleswig-Holstein and the neighbor’s son celebrates his confirmation. This bread also fits these occasions.

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Center a rack in the oven and preheat it to 175 °C/ 350 °F. Line a 20 cm/8-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
  2. Working in a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder and salt together. In another bowl whisk the eggs, milk, olive oil and honey together. Pour the wet ingredients over the flour mixture and, using a flexible spatula, stir until mostly blended. There’s no need to be thorough now.
  3. Add shedded and cubed cheese, scallions and walnuts to the bowl and mix them together. Try to be gentle, but don’t try to be perfect – just like with muffins, it’s better to under- than over-mix. The batter will be heavy and sticky.
  4. Scrape it into the lined pan and use the edge of the spatula to nudge it into the corners.

  5. Bake the loaf for about 35 minutes until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Put the pan on a rack, let the loaf rest for 3 minutes, then unmold it onto the rack. Let the loaf come to room temperature right side up. You can eat it when it’s warm, but I think it’s best at room temperature.

Cauliflower Tabbouleh

This week I ♥ Cooking Clubs welcomes Dorie Greenspan and I serve

Cauliflower Tabbouleh

Cauliflower Tabbouleh

Time is out of joint, I am speechless and stunned by what is happening here in Europe. I distract myself with cooking and baking and hardly get to post the recipes in the blog. It would be a real pity if this delicious recipe was not found at Küchenlatein. I served it as a salad for lunch at work with a slice of homemade bread.

Method

  1. Remove the green leaves from the cauliflower. Cut it in half from top to bottom and then crosswise into quarters. Grate with the largest holes on a box grater. Put the cauliflower into a big bowl.
  2. Add the chickpeas, almonds, herbs, and raisins. Finely grate the zest of one lemon over the tabbouleh and then squeeze in the juice, tossing the salad lightly with a fork. Season with salt and pepper, drizzle over the olive oil and toss to incorporate. Taste the salad and see if you’d like more salt, pepper, lemon zest, juice and/or oil. I usually use the zest and juice of one and a half lemons and two tablespoons olive oil, but lemons vary in size and tartness.
  3. Serve the salad or, preferably, cover it tightly and refrigerate it for at least an hour.

° Put dried raisins in a bowl of hot tap water and set them aside to soak. When you’re ready for them, drain and pat dry.

Squash Rice Porridge

My second Ukrainian recipe for the GFGF-Group is

Squash Rice Porridge

Squash Rice Porridge

In the supermarket appeared the first watery and tasteless Spanish giant strawberries, next to them still stored Hokkaido squash and butternut squash. I grabbed the latter and cooked rice pudding. Olia Hercules writes, that pumpkins are very rarely used in Ukrainian savoury dishes. She grew up with sweet pumpkin rice porridge, a real favourite in many regions. I also grew up with rice pudding, I already tried the Portuguese version, so I was very excited to try the Ukrainian with pumpkin or squash. The butternut squash not only made a pretty color but also added a slight sweetness to the rice pudding. Condensed milk to serve would have been way too sweet, milk or cream fit better.

Method

  1. Put the pumpkin/squash into a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to the boil, then simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the pumpkin is very soft. After 10 minutes add the rice ant salt to the pan and cook over low heat for about 20 minutes, until the rice is just cooked.
  2. Add the milk and vanilla extract, thenn mash the pumpkin into the liquid with a potato masher. Cook the porrigde for another 10 minutes, stirring so it doesn’t catch on the bottom of the pan – add a spash more water or mil if it starts looking dry.
  3. When the rice is soft and the porrigde is thin and reamy, stir through the butter and honey or maple syrup.
  4. If you feel like the porridge could be sweeter, drizzle over some extra honey or syrup once it is in the bowl. Serve the squash rice porridgewith evaporated milk, if desired.
