It’s not a dumb question I am the dumb one :-))

I use frozen peas, fresh peas would be great

Cut down on cooking times if using fresh peas

I normally use whole olives, was not sure how they would go in the TM so I used
the seeded ones this time.  Unpitted olives do have more flavor.

I will try whole olives and on higher heat next time

Megan  what type of ribs did you buy ? I usually buy the American style ribs

This is what I do

Cut ribs
Place in a clean plastic bag and add

Bbq sauce
Chili sauce
Tomato sauce
Any type of mustard
Honey
Oyster sauce
Hoi sin sauce
Soy sauce

All of these work together very well or just 2 sauce will do

Give the bag a nice massage lol

Place bag in the fridge leave to marinade for a few hours I do mine over night

I cook mine covered for 5 hours or more on very low heat
Uncover for the last hour you can turn the heat up to dry up all of the marinade

Katya - We make a similar dish and cook pasta separately for about a minute less than it needs and then let the pasta cook in the peas/bacon for a minute or so to absorb some of the flavour.  We serve it with grated parmesan and it makes a nice supper dish so I think it's OK to have this in the mains section. This is my OH's speciality and he hasn't cooked it in the TMX yet - maybe I'll print off this recipe so he can try.

Desserts / Basic panna cotta
« on: December 29, 2010, 06:22:11 am »
Name of Recipe:Basic panna cotta.
Number of People:
Ingredients:
600 mls cream (590 g)
1 cup of sugar (210 g) - Uni advises this can be reduced to 1/2 cup if you prefer it less sweet - JD.
1 tlb of vanilla (15 g)

1 cup of milk 250 mls
3 teaspoons of gelatin

Preparation:
Pour milk in a bowl (use a pasta bowl)
Sprinkle gelatin over milk

Add cream, sugar and vanilla in TM bowl
Time 9 min
Heat 100
Speed 2

Add gelatin and milk to the cream mixture
Time 1 min
Heat 100
Speed 2


Photos:

Tips/Hints:I pour mine in a cappuccino cups or a tall glasses
Use more gelatin if you are going to turn it out on to a plate
You can add lemon or orange peel in step 1

Suitable for freezing

This recipe it so versatile

You can add cocoa + orange essences= jaffa
White chocolate
Kahlua
Espresso coffee
Anything that takes your fancy

Adjust the sugar to taste. Example if you add white chocolate you only need 3/4 cup of sugar
My personal favourite is I add a peeled and chopped orange or lemon in the cream mix. on the stove top I would leave to simmer for ½ hour and leave it to infuse over night if possible, or a few hours in the fridge I squash the orange down with a potato masher while still hot

You must strain into a jug before you pour into your cup, glass or moulds.

rubyslippers - I had some cream I wanted to use up last week, so I made this one. I have never had/made panna cotta before.  From what I have heard the consistency was perfect.  It was a little too sweet for me (it did end up with a little extra sugar in though as I was off with the fairies when I weighed it in  Cheesy), so next time I'll try it with less.

Herbal - This is a fabulous recipe - thanks!  Have made it several times now and it has worked without fail every single time.  I've added half a teaspoon more gelatine and they have turned out perfectly after putting them in hot water for about 20 seconds.  I've only done vanilla using vanilla bean paste and it's been a hit every time!

Lemongrass - For those of you who can't get hold of gelatin powder, you can replace the 3 tsp of powdered gelatin with 6 leaves. Just soften them in cold water for 10 minutes. Keep in mind that gelatin leaves should not be brought to a boil, so make sure you bring down your temperature to 80° before you add the leaves to the bowl.
I didn't have enough cream so I used 330ml cream and 300ml milk. It was my first attempt at homemade panna cotta it worked perfectly.  Thank you very very much Fundj.

PS. I topped it with Raspberry coulis. Unfortunately I don't have the Australian EDC so I improvised :
Blitz 200g frozen raspberries, add lemon juice and sugar (80g was too much)
Cook 10mn / 80° / speed 3
It was good but felt a bit gritty on the teeth because of the raspberry seeds.

MEP - I made this on the weekend using thickened cream (the only type available at the shops at the time). While it was delicious to taste, there was two separate layers - the base layer of milk and the top 3/4 layer of a more creamy consistency. Is this because I used the thickened cream or was it because I put the panna cottas into the fridge straight away without letting it cool down on the bench first? Any comments/advice/thoughts would be most welcomed.
Thanks for sharing a fantastically easy recipe.

JulieO - I use the little Nestle plastic moulds which I brush with oil before filling, I find these so easy to use.  Being flexible you only have to gently squeeze the plastic mould which then loosens the filling and they just plop out onto a plate.

DJ - Made a mango version today with things from fridge.

300ml single cream
100 ml double cream
Less than 1/2 cup sugar
I fresh mango puréed.
1 heaped teaspoon vanilla paste.

I cooked these together but got worried when it boiled madly so I stopped and turned the heat off.
Added the milk and soaked gelatine and 200 ml fat free yoghurt.
Blended well, it almost split so poured into 7 ramekins and chilled.
Verdict very good and set well not split at all.
DD and I think 2 mangoes would have been better but the men in the house are not fruity people and loved it. So maybe a mango coulis for those of us that want a bit more fruit.
Will make again, thanks very much.

Suzanne - made this tonight and have it in the fridge for tomorrow it sure tasted delicious so I hope it works, it's my first attempt.
