Cumin and Oyster Chicken Wings

Tuesday, March 29, 2011

There will always be a lot of ways in preparing and serving chicken wings. And this is the one I really like. You started by marinating the chicken wings after cutting them into bite-sized pieces, then coating with potato flour before frying them up. Once the chicken wings have completely cooked, drain excess oil by placing them on paper towels. At this point, you can serve them with the prepared sauce you like on the side. Or return the chicken wings to the skillet and toss thoroughly with the sauce together.

Sauce
  • 500 g Chicken wings, cut into bite sized pcs
  • 1/3 tsp Garlic salt
  • 1/3 tsp Black pepper powder
  • 1/2 Egg
  • Some potato flour
  • Vegetable oil
  • 2 clove Garlic, minced
  • 2-3 Piri piri, chopped
  • 2 stalk Spring onions, chopped
  • One handful of corn salad (optional)
  1. Rinse and dry the chicken wings. Cut them into the bite-sized pieces. Season the chicken wing pieces with garlic salt, black pepper and egg. Use your hand to mix all well. Set aside for 15 minutes. Mix all the ingredients of sauce in a bowl.
  2. Fill a skillet half full with vegetable oil. Heat the oil over medium-high flame until hot. Coat the chicken wing pieces with potato flour and shake off the excess. Fry until they are lightly golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on the kitchen paper.
  3. Leave about a tablespoon of oil in the skillet. Stir in minced garlic, chopped piri piri and white part of chopped spring onions. Pour in the prepared sauce and bring it to a simmer. Return the chicken wings to the skillet, and then add in the rest of spring onions. Stir until well mixed and heated through. Turn the heat off and sprinkle. Serve them warm on a bed of corn salad if using.

Almond Galette

Saturday, March 26, 2011

This is the dessert traditionally served in France for Epiphany, on the 6th day of January, but is welcome at any time of year. It's also known as the "Galette des rois", or "King Cake". One "feve", "bean" in French, or a tiny ceramic figurine is hidden somewhere in the galette as a "prize" and the finder is crowned the king or queen.

Frangipane Almond Cream
  • 350 g Puff pastry (homemade or frozen)
  • 1 Egg, lightly beaten
  • 85 g Butter, at room temperature
  • 85 g Caster sugar
  • 1 Egg
  • 1/4 tsp Vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 100 g Almonds, finely ground
  1. Cream the butter and sugar with a hand mixer in the bowl. Beat in the egg, vanilla extract and salt until smooth. Add the almond meal and beat until it forms a smooth paste. Set aside.
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll the pastry out until it’s about 3mm thick. Cut out two 4-inch rounds and two 6-inch rounds or two 11-inch rounds.
  3. Place one sheet of pastry on the baking sheet. Spread a circle of filling on the pastry, leaving 1-inch border around the frangipane. Brush the border with some of the beaten egg. Top with the second sheet of pastry over the filling and press the borders firmly to seal it.
  4. With the back edge of a paring knife, make 6 or 8 of tucks along the border. Make a small hole with a skewer in the center, so the steam can escape during cooking. Glaze the top with beaten egg. Cut a decorative pattern on the top with the tip of a knife.
  5. Refrigerate for one hour. Preheat oven to 200C/400F. Put in the center of the hot oven for 25-30 minutes until they are nicely brown and crisp. Remove and cool the galette on the wire rack. Slice and serve!
