So, it came to my mind that I am probably not the only one in Wildfire Clan who comes home after work and thinks "Oh bugga, I have to make dinner now, even though I am mighty tired"

Do you know what I am talking about? Then here is the solution. A "Wildfire Clan cookbook" were you may post easy recipes. No need to post things like "go buy a pizza"

My recipe

Easy made swedish meatballs

You get about 30-40 meatballs

400 grams mincemeat
3 / 4 decilitre breadcrumbs
1 ½ decilitre whipping cream
1 tablespoon grated onion
1 egg
1 teaspoon salt
1 pinch ground allspice
butter for frying



Mix the breadcrumbs with the cream. Let it swell for 5-10 minutes. Mix the minced meat with the onion, eggs, salt and allspice. Add breadcrumbs and stir until mixture is minced smooth and well blended. Moisten hands with cold water and shape into smooth balls. Fry them a few at a time, in butter. Shake the pan so that they are evenly fried. Reduce the heat when the meatballs are firm enough to be moved around without falling apart. Then cook them for 5-10 more minutes til they are all cooked through.

Serve with some sort of pasta, mashed potatoes or rice. If you serve it with pasta some normal ketchup will do, so goes for mashed potatoes. But if you are in the mood for something new (unless you are a Swede) try some lingonberry jam with the meatballs and mashed potatoes. If you go for rice, a nice asian sweet and sour sauce will be nice. And it's easy to make some extra meatballs, leftovers for the day after or lunch at work.

Bon Appetit!

no ######in way, i was thinking on starting some thing like this but didn't think there was any demand for this kinda thing. But even if it just for you apolloz here goes.

epic brownie's (no herbs required)

200g 70%+ Dark chocolate
250g unsalted butter
80g cocco powder sifted
65g plain flour sifted
350g caster sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
4 large eggs
vanilla essence about a teaspoon
1 1/2 - 2 orange zest

oven 180C (fan) 200C (convection)

mix the dry ingredience together.
melt chocolate and butter together over simmering water but dont let it bubble by taking off the heat every once in a while.
once melted and smooth add vannilla and orange zest mix.
mix 1 third dry into the melted chocolate once fully mixed in add the next third and same, then last third.
beat four eggs and mix into the chocolate in thirds again. It should go almost sticky then once the final thrid of egg is mix in it should go smooth and silky.
pour into a baking tray (approx 30cm x 15cm thats what i use) lined with baking paper.
25-35 minutes . 25minutes for goo centre and 35minutes getting towards cakey. Typically after 25minutes it should be firm on top with a little springy when pressed softly, after 35 minutes top will have cracks and be very springy.

Today's


Mrs Lee's sponge cake (a neighbour)

this recipe is old school
8oz Self raising flour
8oz caster sugar
8oz margarine (stork) little more for greesing
2 teaspoons baking powder
4 eggs

gas mark 4 about 180-190C

Sift all dry together and work in the egg's then the butter
pour into your greesed cake tin
your look at about 35minutes in oven, but your looking for a knife when put through the middle to come out clean, if not put it back in.
cos of the amount of raising agent you can work the mixture pretty hard without risk of it not rising. Very it's difficult to make it go wrong


variations:
you can easily turn this in to a birthday cake by baking the mix in two half's then when both are cool, cut the one you want to use as the base's top of so it is flat. then sprend a jam strawberry/rasberry whatever. Also you can make butter cream its two part icing sugar to one part softed unsalted butter mix together. icing sugar for dusting aswell. once you've done the fill you can just put the other cake on top. Icing is pretty good but dont make it too watery otherwise its a pronlem (ive done it a few times)

ohh this is one a made for a mate at uni only it was with two full size cakes was very good

Your recipe appears to be recursive. Its a curry that requires a curry in order to make the curry...

[Apolloz]

Yeah, I made a simple misprint. Its ment to be that 1 litre of Crème fraiche is the only ingridient in the sauce you have to be a bit strict about. Since it will make a normal amount of souce for about 2-3 portions.

today's recipe

something simple and easy but great in taste

bacon and prawns in tomatoe sauce

Ok this is not a true sauce recipe, they take abit of time to get right so this is the quick, student way.

tin of chopped tomatoes
garlic
pepper
salt
basil
chillies 1-2 diced with/out seeds your choice
onion
smoked streaky bacon cut across about a 1cm width (can use chorizo 50:50 but you will need to use less/no chillie)
king prawns precooked(butterfly if can be bothered, cut down spin but not all the way through)

best way to take this one is dice your onion fry till translucent (high heat), add about a teaspoon of diced garlic (can get premade lazy garlic it is a god send) taking off the heat as it will start spitting, emidiant add the cut bacon and fry back on the heat once starting the fat starts to go golden add the diced chillies let fry a little before next step. what you want to do now is take off some of the liquid in the tin of chopped tomatoes into the sink and add the chopped tomatoes to the pan reducing the heat by half to 2/3rd. Your looking for there to be mainly chopped tomatoes when draining maybe 2:1/3:1 ratio. at this point you can add tomatoe paste. next basil and a little pepper to taste and let reduce till it looks thicker. crank up the heat and add the cooked prawns. once the prawn warm through reseason

serve with a tagatteli or linguine but remember to mix your pasta into the sauce before.

You think that is bad? I tried to make a nice salmon with rice and lime but that bugger Mr Ramsey took my food and set it on fire...I am mighty pissed off now. Just take a look at that prick, burning my food and smiling......

[Mike]

Hahahahahaha you do make me laugh! And Mr Ramsey is drinking on the job look at the alki holding wine in his right hand lol

[Apolloz]

Yeah! He mumbled and seemed to have a hard time keeping balance. First I thought he may have had a stroke or something but then I saw that bottle....and I promise. The wine was 56% alcohol and he drank it like I drink beer. Mighty scary.

Apolloz Anti-Hangover meal!

This is a easy made meal filled with fat to prevent that pesky hangover you get after a night of 19 beers, 8 shots of Mintuu and some drinks. (or more ) And it is very easy to make alot of this. So when you and your crew decide to go home to someone after the clubs close, you simply say that your place will be good. You got free food. (In that way you will not risk of waking up on the bus home and realize that you missed your stop long ago)

4 servings

Time: About 40 minutes

You need

1 kilo of pork tenderloin

7 decilitre of Crème fraiche

Mushroom Soy sauce (to your taste)

1 kilo of chips

Deep fryer (and of course some oil)

Optional

Black currant jelly

Part 1

This can be made all at once, but will of course take some time. Here is the first step you can do before you go out and get sozzled. Grab the pork tenderloin and cut it into thin pieces (about 0.5 centimetres thin) then get a frying pan and set it on high heat. Since the meat is thin, all you need is to fry it quickly on each side. When the meat is done, mix it with the Crème fraiche and mushroom soy sauce in a large saucepan. Let it simmer for a while if you are going to eat it right away. If not, simply take it off from the stove. Now you can get out and get real sozzled.

Part 2

So, you made it home alive, good for you! But what is this...you got 3 hungry mates with you. You better start cooking now! Bring up your deep fryer, heat up the oil and simply deep fry the chips. While waiting for the chips to be done reheat the meat with Crème fraiche and mushroom soy sauce (Yes silly, you put it back on the stove and let it simmer)

Then simply plate it and enjoy. Some black currant jelly makes it all better.

Bon Appétit!

And here is some photos taken by me 05:24 on a thursday morning

Yummy!

[Apolloz]

It is awesome! And since it is filled with salt and fat...you get no hangover!
