Swedish Apple Pie

Made many times - simple and yum!

Collected from: http://allrecipes.com//Recipe/easy-swedish-apple-pie/Detail.aspx

Ingredients:
1 1/2 pounds Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored and sliced
1 tablespoon sugar
1 cup sugar
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
3/4 cup melted butter
1 egg

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Toss apples with 1 tablespoon of sugar, and pour them into a pie plate. Thoroughly mix together 1 cup of sugar with the flour, cinnamon, butter, and egg. Spread this evenly over the top of the pie.

Bake in preheated oven until the apples have cooked and the topping is golden brown, about 40 to 45 minutes.

Chicken in Yogurt and Garam Masala Sauce

I have made this many times but this specific recipe is from Aneeqs.

Ingredients:
1 tbsp tomato paste
0.75 cup plain yogurt
1.5 tsp garam masala
0.5 tsp cumin seeds
1 tsp salt
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp ginger powder
1.5 tsp chili powder
1.5lb chicken breast
2 medium onions sliced
2 tbsp ghee
1 inch cinnamon
4 green cardamoms
cilantro

Cut chicken in strips and marinate with tomato paste, yogurt, garam masala powder, cumin seeds, garlic, ginger and chili powder. Heat oil and fry sliced onions to make them brown and crispy. Remove onions, cool and crush. Reheat the oil and and add back the crushed fried onions. Add chicken to the onion fried oil and stir fry for a few minutes. Stir until cooked. If needed add little water.

Separately take some ghee and add cinnamon and cardamom to the ghee. Julienne green chilies and chop cilantro. Add the ghee, cilantro and the chilies to the chicken. Cover and let sit for sometime to let the aroma blend in.

Cilantro Chicken Chili Eggrolls

Mince chicken, cilantro and chilis. Mix, add salt, black pepper, ginger, garlic, paprika, chili powders. Fry in oil until chicken is done. Put in eggroll sheets, wrap and fry. Serve whole or cut in a slant with sweet chili sauce.

Recept för blåbär cheesecake (från Dominique från Svenskurs)

Jag ska ladda upp bilden när jag baka det. Hoppas jag kan baka i sommar ;).

Ingredienser

300 g digestivekex
...150 g osaltat smör
100 grl strösocker
50 gr majsmjöl
2 tsk vaniljsocker
600 g Philadephia (naturel)
250 gr kesella 10% (kvarg)
3 st ägg
100 ml vispgrädde
200 g vit choklad
frysta blåbär eller färka

1. Sätt ugnen på 175 grader, varmluft. Smält smöret.
2. Krossa kexen i mixer eller i en plastic väska, och rör i det smälta smöret.
3. Packa blandningen hårt en form med löstagbar botten. Grädda botten i 5-10 minuter och låt den svalna.
4. Blanda socker, majsmjöl och vaniljsocker i en skål.
5. Rör kesella och färskost och vispa krämigt med en elvisp.
6. Häll i sockermix.
7. Höj temperaturen i ugnen till 200 grader. Tillsätt äggen och vispa väl. Häll i grädden lite i taget under vispning.
6. Smält chokladen i ett vattenbad eller i mikrovågsugn, och rör ner den i smeten.
7. Fyll smeten över kakbotten och strö över bären på toppen. Grädda kakan i 30 minuter. Man kan täcka den med aluminiumfolie när den fått gyllene färg för att den inte ska bli för bränd. Stäng av ugnen och låt kakan stå kvar i eftervärmen i 30 minuter.
8. Låt cheesecaken stå i kyl över natten eller 6-8 timmar för att den ska sätta sig och bli lättare att skiva upp i snygga bitar.

Lycka till!

Moms Pudding when I was young.

This is one desert I remember mom making when I was young. She had no time, this was simple and we absolutely loved it. I collected the recipe a decade later from Aneeqa. Yet to try but when I do try it, I'll upload the photo.

You need: 3 eggs, one can condensed milk, one can evaporated milk, some sugar and a round dish.

Mix 3 eggs, one can condensed milk, one can evaporated milk
Blend very well... preferably with mixer.

Make caramel by melting sugar and pouring into round dish
or making it on the round dish.

When this cools, pour in the egg mix.

Bake in water bath 350F for 40mins.

Cool in fridge.

Plop it onto a the serving plate.

dont get scared if caramel cracks :).
