Herbed Chicken Cutlets with Panko and Parmesan

 

 

 

Serves 2

 

 

Ingredients

 

•             1 cup panko crumbs (Breadcrumbs) (or your choice)

•             1 tablespoon chopped assorted fresh herbs (parsley, thyme, rosemary)

•             1/3 cup grated parmesan

•             Salt and pepper

•             2 eggs

•             1/2 cup flour

•             3 tablespoons vegetable oil

•             1 tablespoon butter

•             2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, pounded to about 1/4 inch thick

 

 

 

Instructions

 

In a wide shallow bowl or pie plate, stir together the panko, herbs, parmesan and salt and pepper to taste.

 

In another bowl, crack the eggs, add a pinch of salt and pepper and lightly beat with a fork.

 

In a third bowl, stir together the flour and a large pinch each of salt and pepper.

 

Line a baking sheet with a double layer of paper towels.

 

Heat the oil in a large, heavy skillet (I like to use cast iron for this) over a medium-high flame.

 

Add the butter.

 

In the meantime, coat one of the chicken breasts with the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess.

 

Dip the breast in the egg mixture, and then in the breadcrumbs, pressing them lightly so that they adhere.

 

Set on a plate and repeat with the other chicken breast.

 

When the butter just starts to turn brown, gently lay both of the chicken breasts in the pan, side by side.

 

Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.

 

Gently turn the chicken over and cook for another couple of minutes, until both sides are evenly browned.

 

Remove the chicken and let it drain on the paper-towel lined baking sheet for a minute or so.

 

Serve immediately, ideally with mashed potatoes and something green.

Add the rest of the ingredients and whir whir whir. Done.

 

Spoon into a bowl and serve with sliced baguette or pita, chips, crudités, or anything your dipping heart desires.

 

Alternatively, pipe the dip into pepadews and serve "Peppadew stuffed Peppadews."

 

What is cuter than that?

 

Baked Surprise Bread

 

 

 

Serves 8

 

 

Ingredients

 

For the rich bread dough

 

•             2 cups all purpose flower

•             1 packet of dry yeast (1/4 oz or 7 grams)

•             ¾ cups plus 2 tablespoons of milk room temperature

•             2 tablespoons butter

•             1 eggs

•             1 pinch salt (it's a small quantity because the filling, especially salami and chourizo, already have a lot of salt

 

For the Filling

 

•             6 slices of good cooked ham

•             20/30 slices of salami paper thin sliced

•             5 ounces (155g) rich, creamy, fresh cheese like Crescenza or Stracchino

•             pepper freshly ground

•             ¼ cup Scamorza (dried mozzarella) shredded thick

•             2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan

 

 

 

Instructions

 

Warm the milk to no more then 97º F.

Take the cheese, ham, salami out of the fridge, they need to be at room temperature.

Dilute the dry yeast in 1/4 cup of milk.

When well diluted add the remaining milk.

Sift the flour into the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attatchment.

Make a well in the center and pour the yeast and milk, the eggs and the butter.

Start mixing on low speed until all the ingredients are mixed.

Add the salt and beat on medium speed until dough starts to unattach from sides of the bowl, about 10 minutes.

The dough is very moist and sticky and will remain like that.

Change the paddle attachment to the bread hook attachment and knead for a further 10 minutes.

At this point the dough should be all together in aball around the hook attachment and not stick at all to the sides.

Sprinkle a little flour on top of the dough so when it rises it doesn't stick to the tea towel.

Cover with a clean tea towel and put in a warm place to rise until doubled in size, about 45 minutes.

Don't put the bowl on a cold surface like marble or granite as this will prevent the dough from rising neither on top of a hot surface.

The dough should rise slowly and not be forced to rise.

If you need put a tea towel underneath the bowl so that the base is warm.

When doubled in size, push down the dough gently to deflate.

Divide the dough in 2 equal parts.

Line a deep baking pan with parchment paper or gease it with butter and put 1/2 the dough in it. Gently push the dough all over so it covers the bottom of the tray.

The dough is sticky but gradually it will spread if you pull it with both hands gently.

If you get holes pinch the dough together to close them.

Add your filling which should be at room temperature so the dough rises better: spread the ham in 2 layers, then add the salami and finally the cheese cut up in small pieces.

Grind some fresh pepper. If you have left overs, it's delicious with thin slices of roast pork or shredded roasted or braised chicken.

Once you have the filling in, gently push on it especially on the sides and corners and the dough will spread evenly underneath very easily.

Cover the filling with the remaining dough and with both hands gently pull the dough so it spreads all over the filling.

Sprinkle a little flour on the dough, cover with a tea towel and let rise until doubled in size, about 2 hours in a warm place, away from drafts.

Again let the dough rise slowly and not forced by a heat source.

Pre-heat the oven to 300ºF/150C with rack in the middle.

Grate the Scamorza (dried mozzarella - you can't use fresh mozzarella because it has too much water and would soak the bread dough).

Sprinkle the Scamorza and the grated Parmesan on top.

Cook the bread for about 40 minutes, until it's golden, and when you tap on it, it sounds hollow.

You cannot use the toothpick method here to test for doneness because the ingedients in the middle are moist and you probably will get cheese in the toothpick rather then uncooked dough.

Let cool, cut in squares or slices with a serated knife and serve warm or cold.

Serves 4 - 6

Milo Biscuits

 

 

If you are a fan of Milo, you will most probably love Milo biscuits.

 

They are crunchy on the outside, soft and Milo-ish inside, and goes very well with a glass of cold milk.

 

Yields 38 biscuits, each about 6 cm in diameter.

 

 

Ingredients

 

•             125 gram butter

•             ½ cup (125 ml/100 gram) white sugar

•             ½ cup (125 ml/70 gram) soft brown sugar

•             1 egg

•             ½ teaspoon (2 ml) vanilla essence

•             ½ cup (125 ml/50 gram) Milo

•             Pinch of salt

•             1 teaspoon (5 ml) baking powder

•             1¼ cup flour (310 ml/160 gram)

•             100 gram slab milk chocolate, chopped into chunks or ½ cup (125 ml) chocolate chips

 

Method

 

Cream the butter and sugar together until creamy.

Add the egg and vanilla essence and beat well.

Add the Milo and mix.

Sift salt, baking powder and flour and add to the mixture.

Add the chocolate (or choc-chips) and combine well.

Allow the dough to rest for 10 minutes while pre-heating the oven to 180°C.

Use a teaspoon to measure off small balls of dough and place them on a baking tray, but not too close to each other, as the biscuits will flatten and spread out while baking.

Bake for 12 minutes.

Use a spatula to loosen each biscuit from the baking plate, but allow them to cool completely before removing them from the tray.

 

Swiss roll (rolkoek)

 

 

You can fill it with anything of you like, of course: caramel condensed milk became a popular filling in South-Africa, and lemon curd is worth trying too.

 

Ingredients

 

•             1/4 cup (60 ml) milk

•             3 eggs

•             1 cup (250 ml) sugar

•             1 cup (250 ml) flour

•             1 teaspoon (5 ml) cream of tartar

•             1/2 teaspoon baking soda

•             1/4 teaspoon (1 ml) salt

•             2/3 cups (160 ml) apricot jam

 

 

Method

 

Pre-heat the oven to 230°C (220°C fan bake) , and line a jelly roll tin (rolkoekpan) with baking paper or foil. (Our tin measures 38cm x 25cm)

Boil the milk, and allow to cool down.

Beat the eggs and sugar well until creamy: the mixture should be pale and thick. This will take about 10 minutes if you use a food mixer.

Sift flour, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt together.

Add dry ingredients and cooled milk to the egg mixture and combine gently.

Pour mixture into pan.

Bake for 7 to 8 minutes until golden brown. To test: gently press down on the surface of the cake, if it jumps back, it is done.

While the cake is baking, dampen a large towel with warm water and wring it out. Flatten the towel, and sprinkle with sugar.

Gently heat the jam until it is soft enough to spread easily.

When the cake is done, remove it from the oven and turn it out onto the towel.

Peel off the baking paper. You need to work fast but gently, to avoid the cake from either cooling down or breaking.

Spread an even coating of jam over the cake.

Turn the short side of the cake towards you and roll the cake into a tight spiral.

Place cake on a wire rack and allow to cool.

Let it cool a little bit (like Marietjie) or allow it to cool down to room temperature (like Jaco) before serving.

 

 

Notes:

 

You can also roll up the cake before filling it and leave it to cool down, and then unroll it to fill.

You’ll need to be very gentle, but this works well if you want to use whipped cream as a filling.

 

 

Ginger tart (gemmertert)

 

 

Ingredients

 

Crust

•             150 gram ginger biscuits (see notes)

•             50 gram butter

 

Filling

•             1 cup (250 ml or 300 gram) golden syrup, preferably Lyle's golden syrup

•             1 cup (250 ml) boiling water

•             1/2 teaspoon (2 ml) ground ginger

•             2 tablespoons (30 ml) chopped preserved ginger (see notes)

•             2 tablespoons (30 ml) custard powder

•             2 tablespoons (30 ml) cornflour

•             2 tablespoons cold water

•             1/2 cup (125 ml) cream

 

 

Method

 

Crush the biscuits into fine crumbs and add to the melted butter. Alternatively, crumb biscuits in a food processesor, add butter and mix together.

Press firmly into a pie plate and set aside.

Chop the preserved ginger. Keep the syrup it was preserved in, you will need it in the next step.

Combine the golden syrup, the syrup from the preserved ginger, ground ginger and boiling water. Add the chopped preserved ginger.

Mix custard powder and cornflour into the cold water and add to the mixture.

Boil for 3 minutes and pour the mixture into the prepared crust.

Refrigerate the tart to allow the filling to set.

Decorate with whipped cream.

 

Notes:

 

Ginger preserved in syrup, or “ginger nuts”, can be bought at Asian foodshops. Alternatively, use freshly grated ginger root.

You can also use shortcrust dough to make a baked base for their ginger tart, but using ginger biscuits to make the crust works well.

Cape pickled fish (Kaapse kerrievis)

 

 

 

There are many recipes for this flavoursome dish, most of which tend to use lots of vinegar and curry. In this recipe, Marietjie reduced the vinegar and curry. The result is milder, but it's still got lots of zing.

 

Ingredients

 

•             500 gram firm, white fish fillets (see notes below)

•             1 large onion (or 2 small onions), sliced

•             1 teaspoon mild curry powder

•             1 teaspoon turmeric

•             1/2 teaspoon ginger

•             1/4 teaspoon ground coriander

•             2 bay or lemon leaves

•             1/3 cup wine vinegar

•             1/3 cup water

•             2 tablespoons brown sugar

•             2 teaspoons corn flour

•             Salt and black pepper to season

 

 

Method

 

1.            Lightly season the fish with salt before baking for 15 to 20 minutes at 180°C, until cooked through.

2.            Cut the fish fillets into smaller portions.

3.            Heat a little oil in a pan or saucepan, add onion and fry until they start to soften.

4.            Add curry powder, turmeric, ginger and coriander and stir through.

5.            Add vinegar and water and bring to a simmer. Add sugar and stir until dissolved

6.            Season with ground pepper and salt to taste.

7.            Combine the cornflour with a little water into a paste and stir into sauce.

8.            Allow the sauce to simmer gently, while stirring, until it has thickened.

9.            Let the sauce cool down.

10.          Pack the fish fillets in layers in an airtight container, covering each layer with sauce.

11.          Cover and allow to marinade in the fridge for at least 48 hours before eating.

 

Serve with freshly baked wholemeal bread and green salad.

 

 

Notes:

 

What fish to use: it should be firm and white.

 

In South Africa that would be geelbek, kabeljou or yellow tail (geelstert), or in New Zealand, tarakihi or hoki.

 

If you would like to try the full-strength recipe: increase the vinegar and water from 1/3 cup to 1/2 cup each.
