One-Pot Moussaka Beef Rice Pilaf RecipeTin Eats 2024-05-21 | RECIPE ⬇️⬇️⬇️ or PRINT: recipetineats.com/one-pot-moussaka-beef-rice-pilafHere's a new one to add to your arsenal of midweek meals! Think - Moussaka meets risotto, but so much easier to make than both of them. Cosy. Satisfying. Utterly delicious!–––––––––-Moussaka beef rice pilafRecipe video above. This is a nice and easy one-pot rice dinner that channels Greek Moussaka vibes! It's got soft juicy eggplant pieces tumbled though beef mince cooked with a heavy dose of garlic and oregano (Greeks approve!). The rice is steamed in a tomato broth in the same pot, and I love how both the rice and eggplant soaks up all the garlicky beefy flavour! Though not in moussaka, I added a can of chickpeas too for some texture contast amongst all the soft rice/eggplant, plus it's a good-for-you low GI starch that will keep you feeling full for longer. 2 tbsp olive oil4 garlic cloves, finely minced1 onion, diced500g / 1 lb beef mince / ground beef (or lamb) - Note 11/2 tsp cooking salt / kosher salt (for the beef)1 1/2 tbsp dried oregano2 tbsp tomato paste300g / 10oz eggplant (~ 20cm/8" long), cut into 1.5cm / 3/5" cubes1/3 cup pinot noir or other dry red wine (optional)1 cup basmati rice, uncooked (Note 2)400g can chickpeas, drained (or other beans of choice)400 g can crushed tomato1 1/2 cups chicken stock/broth, low sodium3/4 tsp cooking salt / kosher salt (for broth)1/2 tsp black pepper2 tbsp parsley, finely chopped (optional)To serve:Extra virgin olive oil, for drizzlingDollop of Greek yogurt - optional, but also goes really well!Heat the oil on a large pot over high heat. Add the onion and garlic, cook for 2 minutes. Add the beef and cook, breaking it up as you go, until you no longer see red. Add the 1/2 tsp salt and oregano. Cook for 1 minute. Add the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute (don't shortcut this step - Note 3) high in dutch oven. Sauté onion and garlic, then beef until no more red showing. Add 1/2 tsp salt and all oregano, cook 1 min. Add tomato paste, cook 1 min. Add eggplant, stir to coat. Add red wine and deglaze.Add rice, stir to coat. Add everything else, stir. Bring to simmer, stir one more time. Bring back to simmer, put lid on, turn down to low or medium low (small burner). Cook 20 min - will have layer of sludge on surface, that’s ok. Rest 10 min.Toss, serve with drizzle of EVOO and sprinkle of parsley.1. Lamb works equally as well. Chicken, turkey and pork also work but won't taste as "Greek"! :)2. Rice - Long grain and medium grain rice can also be used. Short grain rice/sushi will work but not my first choice, it gets a little softer than ideal. Jasmine rice is a little too soft for this type of cooking method (it will get mushy). Recipe not suitable as written for brown rice, risotto rice, paella rice, wild rice, black rice, quinoa or faux rice (cauliflower rice!).
Smoky roasted tomato soup (just 240 calories!) RecipeTin Eats 2024-05-09 | Recipe ⬇️⬇️⬇️ or PRINT: recipetineats.com/smoky-roasted-tomato-soupThis is a roasted tomato soup that's really great even if your tomatoes aren't perfectly ripe and bursting with sweet juices. So imagine how spectacular it is if they are!! Roasting is the trick - it brings out the natural sweetness and enhances the flavour of the tomatoes. Then all you need to do is blend it up with sautéed onion and garlic with a little vegetable stock!I like to add a little hint of smoky flavour with smoked paprika and by taking the tomatoes a little further in the oven, for charred edges.

How to Prepare Moreton Bay Bugs (& Balmain Bugs) RecipeTin Eats 2023-12-08 | When we put together a seafood platter, we choose Moreton Bay bugs instead of lobster. They taste similar to lobster yet are about 70% cheaper at ~$40/kg. In fact, Moreton Bay bugs (and Balmain bugs) are a slipper lobster and are closely related to rock lobsters, so the flavour similarity is not surprising!Moreton Bay bugs also have a higher meat-to-shell ratio (30-40% yield) than lobster and are easier to cut. They are more compact in shape, so easier to store too. They are caught on the northern part of Australia’s coast, mostly off the coast of Queensland.We buy them pre-cooked (orange-coloured) which is the most common way they are sold, though you can get them raw (aka “green”, on the right below) and cook yourself (just boil them).So, anyway, long story leading to a video for how to cut cooked bugs for a seafood platter!SEAFOOD PLATTER POST: recipetineats.com/seafood-platterSEAFOOD PLATTER VIDEO: youtu.be/MsAVUjg37go

Beat butter, vanilla and icing sugar until fluffy using a mixer. Fold in flour and cornflour in 3 lots, stirring in with a spatula. Scoop 1 tbsp mounds, roll into balls using lightly floured hands (should make 28). Press to 1 cm / 0.4” thick using lightly floured fork on lined trays. Bake 15 min at 180°C / 350°F (160°C fan) – they should be pale gold, not browned. Cool on tray.2. Frosting – Beat butter until creamy. Gradually add icing sugar and beat in. Add zest and juice, then beat on high for 2 min until frosting is fluffy and white. Sandwich cookies together using the frosting. Refrigerate 1 hour to set the frosting a bit (else it squirts out), then bring to room temp before serving! * 250g doesn’t equal 2 sticks of butter (a US measurement) but that’s ok, the cookies still come out perfect because US cup measures are actually a touch smaller than Australian cups (and most of the rest of the world). Made specifically with 2 sticks and US cups and cookies came out perfectly.#recipetineats #meltingmoments

Hasselback Potatoes RecipeTin Eats 2023-10-11 | Recipe ⬇️⬇️⬇️ or PRINT: recipetineats.com/hasselback-potatoesEverybody talks about how tips and tricks to avoid accidentally cutting the way through (easy - chopsticks or spatula on either side of the potato!). Why doesn't anyone talk about the other things that matter for hasselback success?? Namely:1. Goal is for the slices to fan out as they bake so you can drip salty oil/fat between the slices and crispy edges. Without fanning, you end up with regular old roast spuds!2. For fanning, you need thin slices (2mm is ideal), to cut down far enough (1cm / 0.4" from base) and oval shaped potatoes work better than round ones.3. Basting is key. Baste baste baste to encourage fanning and tasty oil dripping between slices!4. Cook the potatoes through in a moderately hot oven then finish with a hot blast to crisp it up. That way you can easily cater to potatoes of different sizes. And with all that said, here's the recipe! Hope you enjoy - Nagi x–––––––––––––––––--Hasselback potatoes5 - 6 x 250g / 8oz potatoes regular or floury, preferably oval shaped, scrubbed clean (Aus: Sebago (dirt brushed), desiree, US: Yukon Gold, russet, UK: Maris piper, King Edward)1 1/2 tsp extra virgin olive oil1/4 tsp cooking salt / kosher saltBASTING:1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil1 1/4 tsp cooking salt / kosher salt4 garlic cloves, skin on, smashed (optional)3 rosemary sprigs (optional but recommended)1.

Bake 200°C/400°F (180°C fan) for 30 min. Pour over oil, sprinkle with salt, throw garlic and rosemary on tray (yes, I know I put them on the tray at the wrong time in the video!). Bake further 40 min, basting generously every 10 min (getting oil between slices key), until cooked. Crank up to 220°C/425°F (200°C), baste, bake 10 - 15 min until extra golden.
Calabrian Fish Ragu RecipeTin Eats 2023-10-09 | RECIPE ⬇️⬇️⬇️ or print: recipetineats.com/fish-ragu-pastaThis is a fish pasta in a richly spiced fish ragu pasta sauce. It's a great recipe to stretch fish further and cook it in a unique way that's outrageously delicious with big, bold Italian Southern Italian flavours, inspired by nduja which originates from Calabria (hence, the name!)CALABRIAN FISH RAGUCalabrian spiced fish:250g / 8 oz firm white fish fillets, skinless, boneless, cut into 2 cm / 0.8" cubes (barramundi, snapper, cod, tilapia)3/4 tsp black peppercorns1 tsp fennel seeds1 tbsp smoked paprika (sub ordinary paprika)1/2 tsp red chilli flakes (red pepper flakes), feel free to reduce/omit1/2 tsp nutmeg powder1/2 tsp caster / superfine sugar3/4 tsp cooking / kosher salt4 tbsp extra virgin olive oilPasta:250g/8 oz linguine pasta (or fettuccine, spaghetti)1 tbsp cooking / kosher salt, for pasta water1 1/2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil3 garlic cloves, finely minced2 tbsp tomato paste3/4 cup tomato passata (US: tomato puree)Garnish:1 tbsp finely chopped parsleyParmesan cheese, finely grated, for servingPangrattato1 1/2 cups stale bread, torn/chopped into irregular 1cm/0.4" pieces (60g)1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil1 pinch cooking / kosher salt1. Toast black peppercorn and fennel in a small frypan (no oil) over medium high heat for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes until it smells fragrant and the fennel is lightly browned. Transfer to a mortar and use a pestle and grind to a powder while still hot.2. Transfer to a medium bowl with remaining Calabrian spiced fish ingredients. Stir well with a spatula until combined. Set aside.3. Boil 3 litres of water with the cooking salt. Cook pasta per packet directions. Just before draining, scoop out 1 1/2 cups pasta cooking water. Then drain in a colander and leave until ready to use.4. While the pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a large deep skillet or pot over medium heat (Note 5). Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the fish and tomato paste. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring regularly. Add tomato passata. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add 1 cup of the reserved pasta cooking water and simmer for 2 minutes.5. Add pasta and 3/4 of the parsley. Toss for 1 minute to coat the pasta with the sauce. Most of the fish will break up into flakes but some will remain in larger chunks - this is good! We don't want disintegrated mush, nor giant chunks. Once the pasta turns red and the sauce and fish bits are clinging to the pasta straws, remove from heat and divide between bowls immediately.6. Sprinkle with pasta, pangrattato and parmesan. Eat immediately!Pangrattato:Preheat oven to 180°C / 350°F (160°C fan). Toss bread, oil and salt in a small bowl. Spread on a tray and bake for 10 minutes, tossing at the 5 minute mark, or until light golden and fully crisp. 1. Firm white fish fillets - Works best with fairly firm white fish fillets that are not too thick. Some suggestions: snapper, dory, barramundi, bream, tilapia, pollock, cod, flathead, perch, ling, bass, basa, hake, hoki.I recommend avoiding:Fish that dry out easily when cooked - Like swordfish, tuna, bonito, kingfish, marlin.Delicate and thin-filleted fish - Like flounder, sole, plaice, turbot, whiting. The texture of the flesh is a bit too delicate for this type of cooking.Oily fish - Like sardines or mackerel. A bit too overwhelming, flavours don’t quite match.2. Grinding whole spices will give the best flavour in this recipe, it really makes a difference here. I only emphasise this when it matters, I will use pre-ground whenever I can! But you can use pre-ground if that's all you've got. 1/2 tsp coarsely ground black pepper and 1/2 tsp fennel powder. No toasting, just mix in with other spices.3. Tomato passata -4. Back up - use 1/2 cup panko instead, toast for shorter time.5. Cooking vessel needs to be large enough to toss the sauce with the pasta.
