RIP Dozer, my Mini (cat) is 21 this year, she also is deaf, I have a peek every morning to see if she is still breathing. I hope she goes in her sleep too.

Brenda,
21 years! Wow..  I hope she is not in pain though.l we discovered with 12 year old dog zeno he myst have been in pain for years, but he hid it well... I feel sorry for our boy now..  We always thought saying goodbye was too soon, now we wonder if we did not drag it too lóng.

Starters and Snacks / Mini hot and spicy rolls
« on: January 29, 2013, 04:19:27 pm »
This is a recipe i invented, trying to make a hot and spicy snack that would be great to have in the freezer, ready for the deepfrier when having unexpected company..
Here the result, ready to get frozen.
!
Except for the thai rice sheets, all ingredients are home made.  This will make about 40 pieces.

Get 650 grams of ground meat, best is a not too fatty mix of porc and beef. If possible use unseasoned meat (if you can not get it, then do not add any salt to the recipe)

1 big onion
2 cloves of garlic
1 carrot (aprx 80 grams)
VERY HOT chili's..  I used about 75 grams- a mix of gost chili, habanero (or scotch bonnet), bird eye chili's and jalapeno

Cut in good size chuncks and put in bowl, mix for 5 seconds at speed 5, use a spatula to get everything down abd mix again for 5 seconds at speed 5

Add 3 TBS of olive oil and let the veggies cook for 5 minutes at speed 2, temp 100

Then add:
The ground meat (best at roomtemperature)
1 ts of currypowder
1 ts of paprika
10 grams of salt

Let this cook for 10 minutes at VAROMA temp, speed 1.5

Add 6 full TBS of the sweet and sour chili sauce (the recipe is available on this forum, through this link' http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=2309.0;topicseen) and for more heat 1 or 2 TBS of my hot habanero sauce (also on this forum - http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=10345.0

Let cook again VAROMA temp for 5 minutes, speed 1.5

Also add 1 TBS of corn starch in some water to avoid lumps and cook again, VAROMA, 2 minutes, speed 2
The mix should look like this:


Let cool the mix down.
Then take the rice sheets, and soak them ONE BY ONE in some roomtemperature water until flexible


Put about20 grams of the mix on the sheet


Fold and fold over the edges. Make sure there are no air bubbles anywhere, and roll as tight as possible.

 Put on a baking paper, but make sure the rolls do not touch because they will stick together otherwise.

Put in freezer and put plastic bags when frozen solid, in portions to your preference.

Enjoy...

Amy, clinker is sooo. Cute !


Luka had his first photoshoot today in our little photostudio.. He kind of looked worried. Lol, after all he was put on a 1.2meter high platform :) age 7 months

And here is his friend Toby, age 9 months...  Also very very insecure

The meat
The buns and the finished result: baby letuce, tomato, home made pickled cucumber, homemade pickled jalapeno, home dried unions, home made ketchup, mayo and pickalily sauce .. A layer of home made grainy mustard and some cheese...  That's all she wrote lol

53
Lovely kitchen stef, and I would love to have something like your pot plant in mine. Are you a clock watcher by any chance?

pot plant?  mmm sounds like fun hahahaha..

i have 3 aloe vera plants in the kitchen now. Being aromatherapist, I use the leaves to make gels with essential oils in it. Soo  good on the skin, and all natural :)

54
Stef, that looks great, have something similar but on a much smaller scale.
Love the sign   ;D  Would be very applicable here  :D ;D

Marie

Marie,

We got this one in Idylwild, CA, USA.. The shop keeper was a 6.5 fth tall guy with a great smile lmao...  He convinced me i am nuts as it is..  And it is a good feeling rofl

55
Stef - love the sign . . and also the "floating" wall - is it like a screen but in segments that you can slide?  Brilliant idea and looks really good!! :D
Indeed GF, segment panels to slide, giving easy acces to everything there.. The washer and drier, vacuum, all cleaning cloths, window cleaning gear, kitchen and toilet paper and so on.. 

The sign has been waiting to be put op for YEARS and now it finally got its spot.. After, it is a nut house over here lol :)

56
The kitchen is officially finished, so therefor:


And for those of you who are wondering about the floating wall...  I hope you are not disappointed.. It is the way to hide the utility area from the rest of the kitchen

I know it looks like a home karaoke stage. Lol

57
Tnx CC. And  EMME!

I do so never want to leave myself.. I love the kitchen... Just a few final touches.. Next week we will have put everything back in place

58
Great kitchen julia!  Lots of working space... 

My kitchen is finally painted!  Just need to add some accents on the walls and hang up the " floating wall" to hide the utility space, but i am happy! Love the colors, the painter payed a lot of attention to the finishes! 

59
Nice, B!
Can you help me on a good sour dough recipe? All the ones i find on the net are so complicated and confusing...
