Salı, 27 Temmuz 2010
Pepper and chorizo picnic frittata recipe
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 20 min
Serves: 4

Made in minutes, Danny Boome’s Spanish frittata fiesta is just the thing for laid-back picnics in the sun – don’t forget to bring along plenty of chilled wine in the hamper.

Ingredients

  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 50g butter
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 250g new potatoes, diced, with the skin left on
  • 1 red peppers, seeds removed, sliced
  • 150g chorizo sausages, diced
  • 1 pinch nutmeg, grated
  • 0.5 tsp paprika
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp flat leaf parsley

Method

1. Heat a 25cm frying pan and add the oil and butter followed by the onions and garlic. Fry gently until the onions have softened, but not coloured.
2. Add the diced potatoes and red pepper and continue cooking, stirring occasionally until the potato is soft – about 10 minutes.
3. Add the chorizo sausage to the pan and fry for a further 2-3 minutes before sprinkling in the nutmeg and paprika.
4. Beat the eggs with a fork, season, and pour into the pan, while still on a low heat. Tip the pan around until the egg is evenly distributed and the base has begun to set. Keep tilting the pan so that the uncooked egg settles around the edges of the pan. Take the pan off the heat when the base has firmed up and the surface is softly set.
5. Slice the frittata into wedges, garnish with parsley and serve warm or at room temperature.

Summer berry meringue recipe
Prep time: 25 min
Cook time: 0 min
Serves: 12

Fill Fiona Carins’ pretty petal topped meringue with summer berries of your choice or whatever is in season.

Ingredients

For the meringue

  • 4 tsp cornflour
  • 4 tsp white wine vinegar
  • 8 egg whites
  • pinch salt
  • 400g caster sugar
  • pink food colouring

For the filling

  • 600ml double cream
  • 2 tsp tbsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp rose water
  • 4 tbsp icing sugar
  • 800g berries, such as strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, cherries
  • edible glitter, (optional)
  • 15-20 rose petals

Method

1. Line 2 baking sheets with baking parchment. Preheat the oven too 210ºC/fan 200ºC/410ºF/gas 7. Draw 3 circles on baking parchment, the first 10cm in diameter, another 18cm and the last 25cm (use plates, saucers or cans as a guide).

2. Stir together the cornflour and vinegar in a small bowl until well blended. In a large, clean bowl, whisk the egg whites and salt with a handheld whisk, or in an electric mixer, until they hold their shape in soft peaks.

3. Add the sugar 1 tbsp at a time, alternating with
a little of the cornflour. The meringue should be thick, shiny and marshmallowy.

4. Using a spatula, spread the mixture into the 3 drawn circles. Dip the end of a skewer, or a teaspoon handle, into the pink food colour and swirl over the meringues.

5. Put the meringues in the oven and immediately reduce the temperature to very low – 80ºC/fan 70ºC/175ºF/ gas 1/4. Bake for 1 and 3/4 to 2 hours. They should be crispy and dry on the outside and may be a bit cracked, which is fine.

6. Turn the oven off, leave the door slightly ajar and allow them to cool completely in the oven.

7. Whip the cream until soft peaks form, adding the vanilla, rosewater and sugar, to taste.

8. Place the largest meringue circle on a cake stand or serving plate. Spread with some cream, sprinkle over some berries, add a little more cream, then place the medium meringue on top.

9. Repeat with the remaining cream and berries and top with the smallest disc. Dust with icing sugar and a little glitter, if liked, and throw over the rose petals, letting them fall casually on and around.
