Ponha os pratos no chao, e o chao ta' posto
E prepare as linguicas pro tiragosto

Joga o paio, carne seca, toucinho no caldeirao
E vamos botar agua no feijao

Depois de salgar
Fa?a um bom refogado, que e' pra engrossar
Aproveite a gordura da frigideira
Pra melhor temperar a couve mineira
Diz que ta' dura, pendura a fatura no nosso irmao
E vamos botar agua no feijao

Malted Milk Black-And-White Pound Cake

This is a beautiful, mysterious cake. Part of a vanilla batter is spread in the pan, chocolate is added to the remainder, which is poured over the light batter. The two batters are not marbled or swirled. During baking the chocolate layer is "swallowed" by the lighter batter and is only revealed when you cut into the cake. You can find malted milk powder in supermarkets, where dry is milk is sold.

* 3 1/2 cups sifted cake flour
* 1/2 cup malted milk powder
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1 1/2 cups (3 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
* 2 1/2 cups sugar
* 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
* 7 large eggs
* 1/2 cup milk
* 3/4 cup chocolate syrup (Patent notes here that he uses Hershey's)
* 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
* 1/2 teaspoon pure almond extract

1. Adjust an oven rack to the lower third position and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 10x-4-inch tube pan, with a removable bottom, with cooking spray and dust all over, including the tube, with fine dry bread crumbs (not flavored). Tap out the excess crumbs and set aside.

2. Resift the flour with the malted milk and salt; set aside.

3. Beat the butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed for 1 to 2 minutes, until smooth and creamy. Add the sugar about 1/4 cup at a time, beating for about 30 seconds after each addition. Add the vanilla and beat for 6 to 7 minutes, until fluffy and light in color. Beat in the eggs one at a time, beating for about 30 seconds after each addition. Increase the speed to medium-high and beat 1to 2 minutes more. Scrape the bowl and beaters.

4. On low speed, add half the flour mixture and beat only until incorporated. Beat in the milk, then the remaining flour, bating only until well combined. Scrape 5 cups of the batter into the prepared pan and level the top with a rubber spatula. Add the chocolate syrup, baking soda, and almond extract to the remaining batter and beat only until thoroughly combined. Pour the chocolate batter over the light batter and smooth the top, do not mix the two.

5. Bake for 1 hour and 25 to 1 hour and 30 minutes, until the cake is golden brown on top and springs back when gently pressed and a toothpick inserted into the thickest part comes out clean. Do not over bake

6. Cool the cake in the pan on a wire rack for 20 minutes. Cover with another rack and invert the tow. Carefully remove the pan, cover with another rack, and invert again to cool completely right side up.

7. Transfer to a cake plate and let stand, covered, for several hours, or preferably overnight, before serving. Use a serrated knife to cut into thin slices.

Makes one 10-inch tube cake, 12 to 16 servings. [In My kitchen]

How to roast peppers

There are two methods to roast peppers:

Place pepper directly on the grate over a gas burner. Turn the heat to high and leave to cook until each side is blistered and charred. Use tongs to turn the pepper and cook each side until the whole surface is blackened. This should only take a few minutes. Place it in a plastic bag or paper bag or under an inverted bowl to steam the skin loose. When the pepper is is cool enough to handle, remove the charred skin, using a paring knife if necessary. Don't run the pepper under water to remove the skin as that washes awy a lot of flavour. You can keep a small bowl nearby to dip your fingers in which makes slipping off the skin much easier.

As alternate methos, halve the pepers and remove the stems, seeds, and white membranes. Place cut-side down on anoiled or parchment covered baking sheet. Place in a very hot over or under a broiler. Roast or broil until evenly charred. Remove from the oven or broiler. Roast or broil untiulevenly charrred. Remove from the over or broiler and cover immediately.

Roasted peppers can be used in literally anything including salads, pizzas, omelettes and sandwiches. They can also be blended and made into a delicious soup. I like to add goat cheese , greens, champagne vinegar, olive oil, salt and peper to my roasted peppers and enjoy as a French Provencal salad.

Sicilian Aubergine Stew

This is a fantastic dish from southern Italy that's eaten as a warm vegetable side dish or a cold antipasto. You need nice, firm aubergines (eggplant), good tomatoes and a fine vinegar. He warns against cutting the aubergines too small as they will soak up too much oil and become heavy.

for 4 servings you will need:
olive oil
2 nice large purple aubergines, cut into large chunks
1 heaped teaspoon dired oregano
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 small red onion, peeled and finely chopped
2 cloves of garlic, peeled and finely sliced
a small bunch of fresh flat-leaf parsley, leaves picked and stalks finely chopped
2 tablespoons salted capers, rinsed, soaked and drained
a handful of green olives, stones removed
2-3 tablespoons best-quality herb vinegar
5 large ripe tomatoes, roughly chopped
optional: 2 tablespoons slivered almonds, lightly toasted

Get yourself a large pan, pour in a couple of glugs of olive oil, and place on the heat. Add your aubergine chunks and oregano, season with a little salt and toss around so the aubergine is evenly coated by the oil. Cook on a high heat for around 4 to 5 minutes, giving the pan a shake every now and then. When the aubergines are nice and golden on each side, add the onion, garlic and parsley stalks and continue cooking for another couple of minutes. Feel free to add a little more oil to the pan if you feel it's getting too dry. Throw in the drained capers and the olives and drizzle over the herb vinegar (I just used a nice white vinegar). When all the vinegar has evaporated, add the tomatoes and simmer for around 15 minutes or until tender. Taste before serving and season if you need to with salt, pepper and a little more vinegar. Drizzle with some good olive oil and serve sprinkled with the chopped parsley leaves and the almonds if you like.

Thai Watermelon Salad

1/4 watermelon
2 handfuls of fresh cilantro, leaves picked
2 handfuls of arugula
2 handfuls of fresh mint, leaves picked
1 small bunch of radishes, finely sliced
a handful of peanuts or sunflower seeds
4 oz feta cheese


For the dressing
a thumb-sized piece of fresh ginger, peeled and grated
1 red, 1 yellow and 1 green chilli, deseed and finely sliced
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
6 tablespoons olive oil
juice of 3-4 limes
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Remove the skin from the watermelon and cut the flesh into small cubes, removing as many seeds as you can be bothered to. Place the cilantro in a bowl with the arugula, mint, watermelon and radishes. Put the ginger, chilli, soy sauce, olive oil and sesame oil into a smaller bowl and add just enough lime juice to cut through the oil - the number of limes you will use depend on how juicy they are. Season to taste and make sure the dressing is well-balanced.

Place your peanuts or sunflower seeds in the oven or in a pan and warm through, then roughly pound them up in a pestle and mortar or in a metal bowl using the end of a rolling-pin. Dress the salad really quickly. Divide between the plates, sprinkly over the hot peanuts or sunflower seeds and crumble the feta cheese over the top.

Enjoy with a glass of chilled ginger lemonade.

Simply Pound Cake

That pound cake originated in North Europe and is so named because the original recipe called for an equal weight of the ingredients!


1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup butter
1 1/4 cups sugar
4 eggs

1. Lightly grease and flour a 4 1/2 x 8 1/2 x 3 inch loaf pan. Sift the flour and baking powder together and set aside.
2. Cream the butter and sugar together in a bowl until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each egg. Add 1 tablespoon of flour if the mixture starts to curdle. I used my CuisinArt food processor for this and it worked just wonderfully.
3. Fold in the flour and pour into the load pan. Bake in a preheated oven, at 350F, for about 45 minutes until golden. To test if the ckae is done, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. The cake is ready if the toothpick comes out clean.
4. Cool for 10 minutes in the pan; then turn onto a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

משרים את הדג בבירה למשך חצי שעה עד שעה, במקרר.

להגשה: מוציאים את המטיאס, ומגישים על תפוח אדמה גדול, מבושל במים עם הקליפה ופרוס לפרוסות גסות, או תפוחי אדמה קלופים ומבושלים. מניחים מעל גזר ובצל כבושים. נהדר להוסיף לאלה גם פרוסות תפוחים חמוצים, ולהשרות אותם בצנצנת עם הגזר והבצל למשך כמה דקות, כדי שלא ישחירו.
