Corn Dog Bites

CORN DOG BITES/Budget Savvy Diva
 this recipe makes 4 servings
 
Ingredients – 
1 cup flour
 1/4 cup cornmeal
 1/4 cup sugar
 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
 1 teaspoon onion powder
 1 tablespoon baking powder
 1/4 teaspoon salt
 1 cup milk
 8 viennas or sausages – cut into bite size pieces
 Vegetable Oil
 Directions:
 
Pour the vegetable oil into a saucepan – you need about 3cm of oil – heat oil - not too hot/ 
In a medium size bowl mix – 2/3 cup of flour, salt, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder — mix. Slowly stir in milk
 Place the rest of the flour ( 1/3 cup ) on a plate
 Take each piece of hot dog and roll it in the flour ( this will help the cornmeal onto the dogs )
 Place floured dog into the batter — make sure that there is no hotdog showing
 Drop into the oil — it took about 3 minutes for each to fully cook
 Once your corn dog bite is golden brown take it out of the oil and place on a paper towel
 Serve with some ketchup
 You could bake these bites ( I personally never have) but if you choose to place the battered bites onto a lined cookie sheet and place them in the oven at 180'C. Make sure to flip them after a few minutes

Roasted Ranch Potatoes

Photo: Roasted Ranch Potatoes

2 pounds (1kg) potatoes (unpeeled, washed and cut into chunks)
1/2 cup ranch dressing (bottled, not packet)
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, plus 1/4 cup more for topping
1/4 cup crumbled, cooked bacon or real bacon pieces from jar
1 tablespoon dried dill weed
3 scallions, washed and chopped
Salt
Pepper
Sour Cream (optional)
Non-stick cooking spray

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350F/180C degrees.

Add (in a large bowl) the ranch dressing, dill, cheese and bacon. Add in the potatoes. Sprinkle in a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Toss to coat potatoes.

Spoon into a greased 9 x 13 baking dish. Cover with foil.

Bake for 60 minutes. Stir gently halfway through to get the bottom potatoes rotated so they don't become burnt and to ensure that the middle and top potatoes get a chance to brown.

Remove foil. Raise oven temperature to 400F/200C degrees. Gently stir again, as necessary.

Bake for an additional 15 minutes, then sprinkle with additional cheese. Bake a few more minutes or until everything is gooey, browned and bubbly on top.

Serve with scallions sprinkled on top for garnish.

Great with a dollop of sour cream.

Garlic Parmesan Cauliflower

Photo: Garlic Parmesan Cauliflower

1 large head of cauliflower, cut into florets
4 large cloves of garlic, minced (I use a microplane)
1/4 Cup extra virgin olive oil
2 Tb fresh lemon juice
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/4 Cup freshly grated parmesan cheese

1.  Preheat oven to 450f/230C degrees.  In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients, except for the parmesan cheese.  Mix well until all the seasonings are evenly distributed over the pieces of cauliflower.  Pour the mixture evenly onto a large ungreased jelly roll pan and spread out so the cauliflower is in a single layer.  This is very important so don't crowd your pan!  Use two pans if you don't have a large enough pan to put it all on at once.  Roast in the oven for 25 minutes.
2.  Remove from the oven and sprinkle on the parmesan cheese.  Put back into the oven for another 2-3 minutes.  If you would like to serve this in a nice dish, transfer the cauliflower into a serving dish before adding the cheese, then put the pretty dish in the oven for the 2-3 minutes.

Traditional Dutch Pea Soup

Photo: TRADITIONAL DUTCH PEA SOUP  ~ YF Magazine
 

My parents lived in Holland for 12 years and my mom got this winterfavourite recipe from a Dutch friend.
Traditionally, this soup is very thick, and some Dutch folk believe it’s just ‘right’ when your soup spoon stands up in the bowl! But thin it out with water if you like. My mom modified it slightly and passed it on to me. For us, it’s a heart-warming and delicious meal after a wintry walk along the beach near our home in Cape Town. – Caryn

Serves 6-8 Prep 25 min
Cook 1 hour 40 min + cooling

2 cups (500ml) dried green split peas
10 cups (2.5L) vegetable stock
250g gammon or back bacon
6 large celery sticks, thinly sliced
4 large carrots, peeled and sliced
3 medium potatoes, peeled and chopped
2 onions, chopped
2 leeks, washed and sliced
salt and ground pepper
2 x 24cm rookworst or German
smoked sausages, sliced into 1cm thick pieces
stokbrood or French loaf, to serve

1 Heat the peas, stock, gammon or bacon in a large saucepan over medium heat for about 50-60 minutes, stirring regularly. Skim off any foam that forms on top.
2 Remove the gammon or bacon, cool slightly, and slice into strips. Keep aside.
3 Add the celery, carrots, potatoes, onions and leeks to the soup and boil for about 30 minutes or until soft. Season.
4 Return the gammon or bacon to the soup with the rookworst or German sausages, and cook for about 5-10 minutes until hot and thick.

Koeksisters

Photo: Cynthia’s Koeksisters ~ Expresso Show and Sasko

Makes 4 dozen

 

Recipe by Cynthia du Plessis

 

1250g Sasko cake flour

½ Tbs salt

165ml baking powder

1 ¼ cups milk

1 ½ cups water

5 large eggs

62g butter or margarine, softened

Oil, for deep-frying

 

Syrup:

12 cups sugar

6 cups water

2/3 cups lemon juice

1 ½ tbsp cream of tartar

1 tsp caramel essence (optional)

 

    Sift the flour, salt and baking powder into a large bowl.
    Whisk the milk, water and eggs together and add to the dry ingredients.
    Mix to form a soft dough then knead thoroughly for 10 minutes, adding a little butter or margarine in every now and then.
    Cover the dough with cling wrap and place in the fridge overnight.
    Make the syrup by combining the sugar, water, juice, cream of tartar and caramel essence in a large pot and stir over low heat until the sugar is dissolved.
    Boil the syrup for 10 minutes then allow to cool to room temperature.
    Break off a fist-sized chunk of the dough and roll out into a long sausage on a lightly oil-greased surface, then using a rolling pin, roll out to about 10cm wide. Cut into 1cm strips.
    Take each strip then roll into a sausage, twist the ends around each other to form a koeksister shape and pinch the ends closed.
    Heat the oil to 180C then deep-fry the koeksisters, a few at a time, turning often to brown on all sides, until golden and cooked through.
    Drain from the oil and immediately plunge into the room-temperature syrup, making sure to keep the koeksisters submerged so they soak up the syrup.
    Drain the koeksisters from the syrup and allow to cool.
    To keep your koeksisters crispy, store them in the freezer. Remove them from the freezer 15 minutes before you want to serve them.
