Onion appetizer dish, great to share with friends. (Full recipe)

This recipe for those of you, who just love Onion rings the Onion recipe will be a delight. It’s more an appetizer than an actual dish, but it tastes great and can be consumed by vegetarians too. 

Ingredients:

• 1 egg;
• 1 cup of milk;
• 1 cup of flour;
• 1 and a half teaspoons of salt;
• 1 and a half teaspoons of cayenne pepper;
• half teaspoon of black pepper;
• half teaspoon of garlic (powder);
• a quarter teaspoon of herbs;
• 2 big onions;
• canola oil;

Take one onion and start peeling them, then cut off the side without the root, closer to the half of the onion.

 After they are peeled, place them under water to clean them.

 Dry them using a paper towel, and start cutting the onion in 16 or 32 equal pieces (cut diagonally).

Now to achieve the flower look, you will have to gently separate the onion pieces. You should place it in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours; this will help you in the process.

Take out a bowl and combine the salt with the flour, the peppers and the herbs. (Any herbs you like) Pour the flower on the onion and make sure to cover between the buds too. 

Combine the milk with the eggs and put the onion in the mixture and cover it again with the flour. Pour oil into the frying pan and place the onion inside.

Make sure to add enough oil to cover the whole onion. Place the onion upside down in the pan and fry for 2-3 minutes, until it becomes golden brown. Now turn it on the other side and fry again for 2-3 minutes. 

Place it on a paper towel and remove the centre of the onion, using a sharp knife. The dipping sauce will be placed here. You can add any kind of dip you like, just place it inside the onion and enjoy this cool appetizer. (See pic)

Bon Appetite!

 

You can make this soup in half an hour!

There are probably as many variations of Chicken Noodle  Soup as there are cooks. No soup is as comforting and soothing as Chicken Noodle Soup. I like my chicken noodle soup very light, with a delicious, flavourful and clear broth, with small chunks of carrots, tiny onion. I also like to add potatoes to my soup. Fresh minced herbs are a definite addition. Somehow, it just doesn't taste right without fresh dill, parsley or chives, and certainly sour cream.

You can make this soup in half an hour if you use previously made Chicken Broth and cook noodles. It's such a quick dinner option , SO healthy, and loved by both children and adults.

Baked Apple Chips Recipe

If you crave something sweet, but also something that is healthy and won’t make you gain weight, than this next light snack will be just perfect. This next recipe will teach you how to make apple chips real quickly. You will need:

• apples (as many as you want);
• brown sugar;
• cinnamon;
• a mandoline for slicing the apples;

You will start by slicing the apples. In order for the slices to be very thin, we advise you to use a mandoline. This way you will get extra thin slices which will become crispy in the oven. After slicing the apples, sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon on them and place them on a baking paper. Then place the paper on a baking pan and cook the slices of apples in the oven for about 2 hours. Be sure to cook them on low temperature. And that is all. You can put the slices on a bowl and enjoy a delicious evening snack with your friends and family.

Swan Cookies Recipe

You would think cookies in the shape of a swan are difficult to make, but in reality they are quite easy when you try. There isn’t much hassle with achieving this creative and yet delicious result, you just have to use any cookie dough, as long as you can roll it. Here is what you’ll need:

• 2 eggs (save the yolk of the second egg to brush over cookies before baking);
• a couple of coffee cups of sugar;
• one and a half coffee cup of vegetable oil;
• one ammoniac soda sachet;
• one coffee cup of milk;
• lemon;
• a small pack of vanilla flavor;

Start by mixing well the eggs and adding the ammoniac sachet, dissolved before in the milk. Then pour the vanilla and some lemon zest in the mix. Add plenty of flour so you’ll make a soft dough. Leave the dough to rest 1 hour in a warm place then knead it again, adding more flour. When it’s ready for rolling, spread it out on the worktable.

Take a tall glass and make some circles in the dough; each will be a swan after you’re done with the shaping process. First, fold the circle in half. Second, use a knife to cut into specific places on the piece of dough; look at the images for guideline. Take the cuts in the way you see in the photos, in order to make the neck, head and tail of the beautiful swan. Repeat the technique for the rest of the circles. Finish by brushing them with the yolk from the second egg. Use chocolate sprinkles to fashion the eyes before sprinkling with sugar on the whole pan covered baking paper. Place in oven at 180-200 degrees Celsius and leave in until it gets a golden color. Finished!

How to cook perfect vegetarian borscht? (with black olives and lemon)

Borscht is a popular soup in Europe, with numerous hearty variations that almost always feature the earthy beet. The majority of the time the soup has meat in it, but I didn't miss it one bit (nor did I notice that the soup has hardly any fat). The flavor is light and hearty at the same time, made gently sour by the addition of lemon juice.

Ingredients:

• 1 large beetroot, cut into thin strips
• 2 cups cabbage, thinly sliced
• 1 - 2 carrots,  grated
• 2 - 3 potatoes, diced
• 2 onions, diced
• 1 large tomato, diced
• 1 - 2 garlic cloves, 1 -- 3 dried bay leaves,
• 3 tbsp. sunflower oil (15 -- 20ml) & juice of ½ a lemon
• Black Olives (stoneless variety)
• Tomato paste, about 50g
• Salt & Pepper to taste
• About one litre of water
• Sour cream, fresh parsley, slice of lemon (optional)
