7 meatless recipes for Fridays during lent - Chicago Tribune

Posted: 26 Feb 2021 09:50 AM PST

The season of Lent is upon us, which means millions of Catholics around the world have left the indulgences of Mardi Gras behind. Typically, devout Catholics will abstain from an indulgence for the 40 days between Ash Wednesday and Easter Sunday, like social media, alcohol or sweets. It's also tradition to forego meat for the seven Fridays during that time period, and these Fridays are oftentimes referred to as "Fish Fridays."

How To Do A Zoom Cookalong & The Best Recipes To Try - Bustle

Posted: 26 Feb 2021 09:02 AM PST

It's been almost a year since the UK first went into lockdown and it's safe to say we're all feeling the strain. Mind's recent survey actually found that more than half of adults said their mental health has got worse during lockdown. So, while we're all trying to stay sane, connecting with friends is key. That's where a Zoom cookalong comes in. You can virtually gather your friends, fire up the stove and spend a few blissful hours cooking, eating, and talking. The perfect plan for forgetting the pandemic for a hot second.

How To Set Up A Zoom Cookalong

  1. Organise a time and date with your friends. Choose a day with no competing time pressures so no one will be pulled away mid cookalong.
  2. Choose a recipe and make sure everyone's bought the right ingredients for the meal ahead of time.
  3. Set up a Zoom meeting beforehand and share the link with your gang.
  4. Log on, start cooking, and enjoy.

Top tip: the key to a successful cookalong is choosing a recipe that suits the whole group — make sure you gauge skill levels and dietary requirements ahead of time to keep everyone happy.

Below I've offered eight options to get you started plus all the info you'll need in terms of difficulty (easy, medium, hard) and diets.

Pad Thai

Do you know anyone who doesn't like Pad Thai? Neither, so make this Jamie Oliver version on Zoom with your friends and get ready to feel really smug (turns out Pad Thai isn't that complicated). Do all your preparation while you're chatting and make sure to start the cooking process at the same time — it's really quick once you get going.

Skill level: Medium

Fish Finger Tacos

Crunchy fish fingers. Soft tortillas. Spikey slaw. These Waitrose fish finger tacos couldn't be easier or tastier if they tried, which makes them perfect for a Friday night cookalong. The key to really crunchy tacos is to cook the fish fingers for longer than the packet suggests — you want to make sure they're crisp and golden before you whip them out. Ice cold margaritas aren't essential, but they're encouraged.

Skill level: Easy

Chocolate Fondant

Chocolate fondant is the ultimate show stopper (there's a reason they're always making them on Masterchef). You can eat them straight out of the oven, so they're perfect for virtual cooking. Gordon Ramsay's recipe in Red magazine is properly sumptuous and a good challenge to sink your teeth into. This recipe makes four, so scale down if you're so inclined. Or eat all four, no one's judging.

Skill level: Hard

Suitable for vegetarians

Risotto

Good risotto requires constant stirring, which effectively chains you to the hob. That makes it ideal for a long, relaxed cookalong with your friends on Zoom. Choose a basic risotto recipe (I trust Jamie Oliver's) and customise it to your tastes. You could try adding mushrooms and truffle oil for a rich, warming version, or peas and pancetta for something more spritely. Whatever you choose, settle in for a languid cooking session and make sure you've got some good conversation going.

Skill level: Easy

Can be suitable for vegetarians and vegans

Sweetcorn Fritters

If you're missing mimosa-soaked brunches as much as we are then it's time to gather up your gang and get them on a brunch cookalong. Sweetcorn fritters with avocado salsa is the perfect dish — easy to prepare, quick to cook, and seriously tasty. And because you're in the comfort of your own kitchen, you won't even have to stumble home from the restaurant at 3 p.m. on a Saturday.

Skill level: Easy

Suitable for vegetarians

Best Ever Brownies

These rich, gooey brownies are actually the Best Ever, as their name suggests. Three types of chocolate baked together to create rib-sticking sumptuous brownies that are perfect for a Zoom cookalong. Yes, they should technically be left to cool for half an hour before you cut into them, but this is your kitchen, your rules, and who's going to stop you from eating a hot, melty brownie straight out of the oven?

Skill level: Medium

Suitable for vegetarians

Summer Rolls

Remember summer? Neither. Get those holiday vibes into your kitchen and get excited for warmer, restriction-free days with your friends with summer rolls. They require some specialist ingredients like rice paper and vermicelli noodles, but they're worth the extra effort. This recipe from BBC Good Food suggests filling these paper-thin rolls with prawns, herbs and lettuce, but it's so adaptable that vegans, vegetarians can choose a combination to suit them.

Skill level: Medium

Can be suitable for vegetarians and vegan

Crab Mac 'N'Cheese

Queen Nigella Lawson knows a thing or two about luxury, and this mac'n'cheese is luxury in a bowl. This recipe has enough of a process to feel like you and your friends have truly cooked together and is exciting enough to make the eating really special. Yes, it's a bit extra. But lockdowns are hard and you deserve to treat yourself.

Soothing Winter Soup Recipes - The Wall Street Journal

Posted: 26 Feb 2021 09:00 PM PST

I RECENTLY binge-watched a television series produced in France called "A French Village." It centers on the fictional community of Villeneuve, near the French-Swiss border, and how the villagers coped during the German occupation in the early 1940s. Food was scarce, but what the characters were able to produce out of little was inspiring. More often than not, it was soup for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS

Share your experience with these recipes—did you make any adaptations? How did you serve them? Join the conversation below.

I started to count how many times a character sat down to a bowl, took a hungry spoonful, looked up and said, "La soupe, elle est bonne." I stopped counting somewhere in the fifth season—around the same the time I started cooking more steaming pots of my own. Soup is perhaps the most nourishing, most economical and most satisfying food. Cultures around the world make it. And for good reason. It is as basic as creating a flavor base, adding liquid and vegetables, grains or meat. Or all of the above.

I usually start with onions or shallots and garlic, perhaps bacon, pancetta or chorizo, an herb bundle, homemade chicken stock and then whatever's in the fridge, on the windowsill or in the cupboard. A drizzle of good olive oil, a sprinkling of flaky Maldon sea salt, lots of freshly ground black pepper and a grating of Parmesan will be the finishing touches for a soup I make that skews Italian. A dollop of crème fraîche and a sprinkling of chives top the bowl if I'm leaning French; perhaps a splash of aged Sherry vinegar if I'm simmering something more Spanish.

" This winter I've been reaching for turmeric, ginger and other spices said to boost the immune system. "

This winter I've been gravitating toward turmeric, ginger and other spices said to boost the immune system. So I reached out to Ethan Frisch, co-founder of the fair-trade and sustainable spice company Burlap & Barrel, to get his thoughts on spicing soups. Prior to sourcing spices from Iceland to Guatemala to the Euphrates River, Mr. Frisch was a humanitarian aid worker for Doctors Without Borders on the Syrian-Jordanian border. There and in other remote areas where he volunteered, soups were a mainstay of his diet, and he came to depend upon both local and easily transportable spices to flavor them. Now at home in Queens, N.Y., he has a more sizable pantry, but his technique hasn't changed. "I might start by tempering cumin in olive oil or butter, add some smoked paprika, cinnamon verum or cinnamon leaves, then some fresh aromatics, celery, carrots, smashed garlic, [and] let them nearly brown before adding broth. Or, if I want to open up my sinuses, I'll bloom Cobanero chilies, which I love for their fruity smokiness, with some smoked paprika, cinnamon, star anise and black pepper."

Recently, Mr. Frisch launched a Burlap & Barrel series of three masalas created by the late chef and restaurateur Floyd Cardoz. I think of these spice mixes as soup jump starters. They make rather complex and nuanced flavors remarkably easy to pull off. For example, the Goan Masala needs only coconut milk and broth to form a soup both piquant and creamy. The Kashmiri Masala lends a sweet heat, with brightening notes of fennel, ginger and cardamom, as it does in a recipe for Goan pork soup I like to make, adapted from Mr. Cardoz and his wife, Barkha Cardoz. Simply add a bit of stock to moong dal, a classic Indian dish of split mung beans, and you have a rich and protein-packed soup. For a soup with a similarly velvety texture but a more Middle Eastern inflection, infuse lentils with cumin, coriander, mustard seeds and fennel seeds. A topping of crumbled feta and fresh cilantro makes this soup nearly as hearty as a stew.

And then there are those days that call for the simple comfort of tomato soup and grilled cheese. Pouring a glass of red wine into the soup as it cooks will add a little grown-up depth. Try it, and you might look up and say "La soupe, elle est bonne" in any number of languages. And you will be right.

Max Halley's folded fried tortilla wraps – recipes - The Guardian

Posted: 27 Feb 2021 12:50 AM PST

Yes, we've all seen these cheeky "foldies" (TM) on the internet by now, but that doesn't necessarily mean they're a bad idea. Not only are they fun to make, they are a great way of illustrating just how important proper layering is in the construction of a good sandwich. And how nice it is when things are covered in mayonnaise before cooking. And, for that, we should be forever thankful.

Leftover bolognese, mozzarella and pickled veg

Imagine that you had bolognese for tea last night (as many of us have), before drinking too much wine over Zoom, and have now woken up a little worse for wear. Tick-tock, the sarnie clock.

Prep 15 min
Cook 20 min
Makes 1

½ aubergine, cut lengthways
Olive oil, for greasing
½ carrot, cut into the tiniest pieces you can manage
¼ onion, cut into the tiniest pieces you can manage
⅓ celery stick, cut into the tiniest pieces you can manage
2 tbsp vinegar (white-wine or malt), plus an extra slug for the mayo
1 tortilla
A few tbsp leftover bolognese sauce
1 handful grated mozzarella – the supermarket ready-grated stuff is best, because it's drier than a chopped up ball
1 handful grated
parmesan
1 heaped tbsp mayonnaise, plus extra for smearing
1 tsp honey, to finish

Score the flesh side of the aubergine in a deep criss-cross, drizzle it with olive oil and bake in a 220C (200C fan)/425F/gas 7 oven until super soft (about 15 minutes). Scrape the flesh into a bowl and leave to cool (this could be done the day before).

Put the carrot, onion and celery into a ramekin, drizzle with the vinegar, and set aside to pickle – the longer in advance you do this, the better.

Pop a tortilla on a chopping board in front of you. With a knife or a pair of scissors, cut from the outside at six o'clock to the centre.

To the left of the cut and all the way up to nine o'clock, put a few tablespoons of bolognese and spread it into a nice, thick, even layer. In the following quarter and up to 12 o'clock, put a greedy handful of grated supermarket mozzarella and top with a heavy-handed grating of parmesan.

Mix the pickled veg and the extra slug of vinegar into the mayonnaise, and smear this all over the third quarter down to three o'clock. Complete the circle of sandwich life by smearing the aubergine moosh over the final quarter.

Now fold that baby up: take the cut edge at the bottom of the tortilla and fold it clockwise over each section in turn until you end up with a triangle. Spread mayonnaise all over the outside (mayonnaise is preferable to butter, because it's made of oil and egg, so will brown very pleasingly).

Lay the tortilla pocket in a frying pan over a low-medium heat (you want to cook it slowly, so there's time for maximum crisping and browning on the outside, while everything on the inside heats up properly and melts). When golden and crisp and melty and delicious, get the thing out, drizzle with a little honey, pick it up with a piece of greaseproof paper and, as soon as it's a safe temperature, demolish.

Halloumi, sauerkraut and caraway

One of my culinary heroes, the great Lee Tiernan, did something very similar to this recently. During this Covid malarky, I have desperately missed both the menu at his estimable Black Axe Mangal and the reuben from Monty's Deli – this will go some way to keeping the wolf from the door for now.

Prep 15 min
Cook 10 min
Makes 1

4 thick slices good halloumi
1 good pinch ground black pepper
1 good pinch ground coriander seeds
1 good pinch unsmoked paprika
1 good pinch garlic and/or onion powder

1 tortilla
1 hash brown
, cooked to packet instructions and crumbled up
1-2 schploofs Tabasco
1 tbsp ketchup
1 heaped tbsp mayonnaise, plus extra for smearing
1 big dill pickle/gherkin, cut into small chunks
¼ onion, cut into similar size pieces
French's mustard
3 slices good melting cheese (such as Leerdammer)
1 handful jarred sauerkraut (the Krakus brand is excellent)
1 big pinch caraway seeds

Fry the halloumi on both sides until golden, then break up into pieces and, while it's still hot, sprinkle liberally with the pepper, coriander, paprika and garlic powder.

Pop a tortilla on a chopping board in front of you. With a knife or a pair of scissors, cut from the outside at six o'clock up to the centre. Fill the quarter to the left of the cut up to nine o'clock with the crumbled up hash brown and top with the chunks of spiced halloumi.

Mix the Tabasco, ketchup and mayo with the dill pickle and onion, and use this to fill the second quarter of the tortilla, up to 12 o'clock, then drizzle with mustard.

The third quarter is for the melting cheese slices, broken up. Put the sauerkraut in the final quarter and top with a scattering of caraway seeds.

Fold as before, by folding the cut edge of the tortilla clockwise to nine o'clock and then over the remaining quarters in turn until you have a triangle. Smear all over with mayonnaise, lay your triangle of goodness in a frying pan set over a low-medium heat and fry until golden and delicious. Remove from the pan, leave to cool a little, then pick up in a sheet of greaseproof paper and dig in.

Biscoff spread, crushed nuts and malt loaf

I love eggy bread. I don't know who Mephistopheles is, but I'd sell him my soul for some eggy bread. This is naughty.

Prep 15 min
Cook 5 min
Makes 1

1 tortilla
2 heaped
tbsp Biscoff spread, or chocolate spread, or your favourite nut butter
2 heaped tbsp cream cheese
A few handfuls
crushed nuts (almonds, hazelnuts, peanuts or walnuts)
Pomegranate molasses or honey (if using honey, mix with 1 tsp white-wine or malt vinegar))
2 slices Soreen malt loaf or Jamaican ginger cake, toasted, cooled and crumbled up
1 egg
1 tsp milk
1 tsp double cream
(optional)
½ tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp caster sugar

Pop a tortilla on a chopping board in front of you. With a knife or a pair of scissors, cut from the outside at six o'clock right to the centre. Fill the quarter to the left of the cut up to nine o'clock with your spread of choice.

Fill the next quarter with the cream cheese, and the third quarter with the crushed nuts, and drizzle the pomegranate molasses (or honey and vinegar) all over them. Put the crumbled malt loaf or ginger cake in the final quarter.

Fold up by taking the cut edge of the tortilla and folding it clockwise over each section until you have a triangle. Beat the egg with the milk and cream, then indulge your naughty side by dunking the whole thing into the beaten egg mixture, so it's coated all over.

Lay the tortilla triangle in a frying pan over a low-medium heat and, once it's golden and looking rather fetching, take it out. Mix the cinnamon into the sugar, sprinkle over the top, and leave to cool (remember, hot things filled with sugar are often hotter than the sun), then pick it up in greaseproof paper and tread carefully.
