GRILLED SEABASS PORTUGUESE STYLE / IKAN BAKAR ALA PORTUGIS

I haven't tasted the authentic Grilled Fish Portuguese Style, thought I have a few trips to Malacca but haven't got the opportunity to try one, most of time that I had this grilled fish was outside Malacca. Anyhow this grilled fish is really hot and spicy, aromatic and flavourful. Some love to have it with sambal but I prefer it the way it is, it's already full of sambal. The best is to grill the fish on hot charcoal, anyhow it's tedious to do so, I used a flat pan, it's still great. Perfect with Hot Rice.

GRILLED SEABASS PORTUGUESE STYLE / IKAN BAKAR ALA PORTUGIS

1 Seabass  cleaned and removed / 1 ekor ikan siakap dibesiang dan bersihkan

A few sheets banana leaf (rinsed with water thoroughly and pat dry with paper towels) / daun pisang

Grilled Fish Sambal:

20 dried chilies soaked / 20 tangkai cili kering direndam

3 lemongrass / 3 batang serai

1”  galangal / 1” lengkuas

7 candlenut / 7 biji buah keras

1 tablespoon toasted belacan / 1 sdb belacan

9 shallots / 9 biji bawang merah

Salt to taste / garam secukup rasa

2 teaspoons fish sauce / 2 sdb sos ikan

Sugar to taste / gula secukup rasa

1 tbsp lime juice / 1 sdb jus limau

5 tablespoons oil / 5 sdb minyak masak

Method:

1. Prepare the sambal by grinding chilies, shallots, belacan and lemongrass in a food processor. Make sure the sambal paste is well blended and smooth. / Blend semua bahan sehingga halus.
2. Heat up a wok and “tumis” (stir-fry) the sambal paste until aromatic or when the oil separates from the sambal paste. Add the seasonings: salt, sugar, and fish sauce and do a quick stir, dish out and set aside./ Panaskan minyak dan tumis bahan blend sehingga garing dan naik minyak. Masukkan semua bahan perasa
3. Grease a flat pan or heat up charcoal / Panaskan kuali leper atau hidupkan api arang
4. Lay a few sheets of banana leaves in the pan.  Add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil on top of the banana leaves and spread the oil evenly. Lay the fish on top of the banana leaves and add 3 tablespoons of sambal on top of the fish./ Lebarkan daun pisang dan sapukan sedikit minyak, letak ikan dan curahkan sambal diatasnya, salur keseluruh ikan dan tutup dan kepil daun pisang dengan lidi'
5. Heat up the pan on your stove top over medium heat and cover it with a lid.  (Use a towel to cover the corners of the pan in case the lid is too small to completely cover the pan. This will ensure the heat traps inside the pan during the grilling process./ Bakar ikan dan jika ada penutup tutup ikan bakar 
6. Wait for 10-15 minutes or so and flip the fish over to the other side. Add 3 more tablespoons of sambal on the other side. Cook for another 8 minutes or so. Dish out and serve immediately with sambal belacan and sliced shallots condiment./ Bakar selama 10-15 minit dan balikan ikan, tunggu sehingga masak dan hidang 

Selalu juga ke Melaka tetapi masih tidak berkesempatan untuk mencuba ikan bakar Portugis ini. Biasanya makan ikan bakar ini di luar kota Melaka. Apa pun rasanya tetap sama. Ikan ini lebih mantap kalau dibakar dengan dapur arang, tetapi zaman sekarang ini manalah berkesempatan hendak membakar cara itu. Saya cuma guna kuali leper...ikut cara yang dibuat di food court. Boleh la. Ada yang suka makan ikan bakar ini dengan sambal tetapi saya lebih suka memakanya begitu aje...sebab ikan ini sudah macam pais ikan sudah bersambal. Memang sedap..boleh digunakan apa-apa ikan untuk resipi ini.

SHRIMP SAMBAL WITH STINK BEANS / SAMBAL UDANG PETAI

Masyallah Stink Beans in the month of Ramadan !!!!! Well if you love it why not...just make extra adjustment so that the after effect is NOT that great. Ha...ha...it's the children favourite especially my daughter Tyca...so I made this for "buka puasa". I've made this before and this is my second entry on this dish. To have a better impact it would be great if you add about 1/2 tsp of Msg, it's optional but it made the sambal better.

SHRIMP SAMBAL WITH STINK BEANS / SAMBAL TUMIS UDANG PETAI

Always a favourite even in the month of Ramadan.

Ingredients

• 1 kg shrimps medium size cleaned / 1 kg udang size sederhana di bersihkan
• 1 cup peeled stink beans / 1 cawan petai yang siap dikopek
• 1 onion cut into ring / 1 biji bawang besar dipotong bulat
• 3 tbsp tamrind kuice / 3 sdb asam jawa
• salts and sugar to taste / garam dan gula secukup rasa
• Ingredients To be blended   / Bahan Untuk diblend
• 30 dried chilies soaked / 30 batang cili kering direndam
• 2 onions / 2 biji bawang besar
• 2" shrimpe paste / 2" belacan
• Instructions

1. Blend ingredients and set aside / Blendkan semua bahan dan letak sebelah.
2. Heat up half cup oil / Panaskan setengah cawan minyak
3. Saute the blended ingredients till dried and frgrant / Tumiskan semua bahan blend sehingga garing dan naik baunya.
4. Add in shrimps and fry  till it turns color / Masukkan udang sehingga udang bertukar warna. 
5. Add about a cup of water - measurement of water depend on the thickeness that you require / Masukkan secawan air (ikut anggaran kepekatan kuah)2-3 pieces per muffin, lightly press into the dough.
6. Add salt and sugar to taste. Add tamarind juice and finally add stink beans and slice onion/ Masukkan garam dan gula secukup rasa. Kalau suka boleh letakkan sedikit maggi stock atau secukup rasa. Masukkan air asam jawa dan akhir sekali masukkan petai dan bawang besar. iarkan seketika sehingga naik minyak

Masyallah sambal petai di bulan Ramadan....alahai kalau dah suka nak buat macam mana..cuma kena usaha lebih supaya kesan keesokkan harinya tidak ketara sangat. Ini entry kali kedua kalau tak salah saya tentang sambal udang petai ini. Biasanya saya suka cara lama membuatnya...cara sambal tumis..sebab ia berkuah sedikit..kalau yang stail di restuarant Thai tu agak kering sedikit. Sambal tumis kalau hendak sedap bahan yang diblend tu biar ditumis sampai garing sampai kehitaman sedikit baru sedap dan orang Melayu selalunya akan renehkan sambal supaya naik minyak sedikit supaya nampak cantik...semuanya itu bergantung kepada masing-masing.

RICH CHOCOLATE BROWNIES

Happy Monday All and today is already Ramadan 10...look's like this week many will be busy 

shopping for cookies ingredients. It's time of the year to experiment new cookies and biscuits recipes...in fact foodie magazines have been selling their magazines like hot cakes....yeah...most would like to try something new and the magazine usually will be the inspirations. Yeah I have bought two magazines yesterday and as I browsed through nothing much different from last year....so this year I have to use my right brain to create something new and something different....ha...ha see if I have the time.

Ok today I'm gonna share a simple brownies recipe that I found in foodgawker, real simple, rich and decedent chocolate brownies....you're sure love this. For the topping I leave it to you, I just made a simple chocolate ganache. Perfect tea time serving.

Rich Chocolate Brownies

2 ounces of bittersweet chocolate, chopped

6 ounces of unsweetened chocolate, chopped

6 tablespoons of butter, cut into pieces

2 tablespoons cocoa powder

3 large eggs

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon flour

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9×9 baking dish with aluminum foil.

Place both types of chocolate and the butter into a microwaveable bowl. Heat in 15 second intervals, stirring after each one until smooth. In a mixing bowl, beat together the eggs, salt, sugar and vanilla until the eggs are a light yellow, about 2 minutes. Mix in the chocolate mixture until well combined. Fold in the flour and cocoa powder.

Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with gooey crumbs. Let the brownies cool in the pan before cutting. Sprinkle the brownies with powdered sugar, if desired.

Dah masuk hari ke 10 kita berpuasa ya...kejap betul masa berlalu. Rasanya hujung minggu ni ramai akan berpusu-pusu menyerang kedai bakery untuk mencari perkakasan kek dan biskut raya. Bukan itu aje jualan  majalah sempena Syawal ni pun cepat habis. Semalam saya sempat beli dua buah majalah untuk mencari inspirasi kuih raya tahun ini. Belek-belek majalah tahun ini nampaknya tidak banyak jauh bezanya dengan resipi tahun lepas...so kalau hendak kelainan tahun ini ke reka cipta sendirilah nampaknya.

Apa pun resipi kali ini adalah resipi chocolate brownies yang mudah dan kaya dengan chocolatenya. Sesuai buat minum petang.

The normal favourite recipe for clams are usually the Malay Style Masak Lemak Cili Padi and the Chinese Style Chili Clams.

Serve best with steam Rice.

Clean the clams and soak in brine (1 tsp salt in 2 1/2 cups water) for at least 1 hr. Rinse.

Heat up sesame oil in a pot.

FRENCH MACAROON

There are two delectable recipes that took time and courage for me to try. One is the Caramel  Marble Cake and these famous French Macaroon. I love these macaroon so much...love the colour and love to see how creativity can turned these irresistible dessert into something unique and beautiful.

The thought of using eggs white will normally put me off, but sometimes you couldn't help yourself when you see your friends made beautiful macaroon. I have been on looking for chefs that conducted macaroon classes. I really wanted to enroll myself and learn to be a "pro" macaroons maker. If you have any please let me know...I wish to learn the right techniques . This was my third attempt and I only can get 5 pairs perfectly done. Others were a disaster, it cracked and sink in the centre and you see why I need a mentor to teach me. Please I am serious....I want to learn the pro way of making macaroons. Suggest me a good mentor.

FRENCH MACAROON - http://www.grouprecipes.com/63201/laduree-style-macaroons.html

Swiss Meringue buttercream

• 4 large egg whites

• 3 sticks (1-1/2 cups) unsalted butter, room temperature, cut into tablespoons

• 1-1/4 cups sugar

• 2 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Macaroons

• 1-3/4 cup confectioner

• 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

• all-purpose flour, for dipping

• 1-1/2 cups (4 ounces) sliced almonds, finely ground, or almond flour

• 3 large eggs

• Pinch of salt

• 1/4 cup granulated sugar

• 1/2 recipe Swiss Meringue buttercream

French Almond Macaroons

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Sift confectioners' sugar into a bowl. Whisk in ground almonds; set aside. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or nonstick baking mats (such as Silpats), and mark circles using a 1-1/2-inch cookie cutter dipped in flour.

In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment beat egg whites on medium speed until foamy; add salt. Gradually add granulated sugar 1 teaspoon at a time, until the whites reach medium-soft peaks. Transfer to a large bowl.

Sprinkle half of the sugar-almond mixture over the egg-white mixture. Using a large rubber spatula fold until just incorporated. Add 1/4 teaspoon vanilla and remaining sugar-almond mixture, folding until just incorporated. Firmly tap the bottom of the bowl on a counter or work surface to eliminate any air pockets.

Transfer mixture to a large pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch plain tip (such as an Ateco #806). Pipe mixture into marked circles on prepared baking sheet.

Bake, rotating sheets halfway through, until macaroons feel slightly firm to the touch and can be gently lifted off the parchment (the bottoms will be dry), 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer parchment and macaroons to a wire rack to cool completely. Using a small offset spatula, carefully remove macaroons from parchment. Spread 2 teaspoons buttercream on the flat sides of the half of macaroons; sandwich with the other halves, keeping flat sides down. Refrigerate until firm, about 20 minutes, before serving. Filled cookies can be kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Strawberry Macaroons Variation

Follow instructions for French Almond Macaroons, adding 4 drops of red food coloring to the egg whites just before you add the sugar-almond mixture (batter will be pink). For the filling, do not increase vanilla, and fold 1/3 cup strained strawberry preserves (3-1/2 ounces) into Swiss Meringue Buttercream after butter has been incorporated. Proceed with the recipe.

Chocolate Macaroons Variation

Follow instructions for French Almond Macaroons, sifting 2 tablespoons Dutch-process coca powder with the confectioners' sugar. For the filling, place 5 ounces finely chopped semisweet chocolate in a bowl. In a small saucepan, heat 1/2 cup heavy cream until it just starts to simmer; pour over chocolate. Let sit for 1 minute; stir until melted. Let ganache stand at room temperature until thick enough to spread. Proceed with the recipe.

Swiss Meringue Buttercream

In the heatproof bowl of an electric mixer set over a saucepan of simmering water, combine the egg whites and sugar. Cook, whisking constantly, until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is warm to the touch (about 160ºF).

Attach the bowl to the mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat the egg-white mixture on high speed until it holds stiff (but not dry) peaks. Continue beating until the mixture is fluffy and cooled, about 6 minutes.

Switch to the paddle attachment. With the mixer on medium-low speed, add the butter several tablespoons at a time, beating well after each addition. (If the frosting appears to separate after all the butter has been added, beat on medium-high speed until smooth again, 3 to 5 minutes more.) Beat in vanilla. Beat on lowest speed to eliminate any air bubbles, about 2 minutes. Stir with a rubber spatula until frosting is smooth.

Chocolate Swiss Meringue Buttercream Variation

Follow instructions for Swiss Meringue Buttercream, omitting the vanilla extract, decreasing the sugar to 1 cup, and adding 8 ounces melted best quality bittersweet chocolate after the butter has been incorporated (let chocolate cool slightly before mixing in)

Dalam cubaan memasak dan membuat kuih, dua resipi yang paling saya geruni ialah membuat Kek Marble Caramel dan Macaroon. Ha...ha...Kek Karamel tu sampai hari ini saya masih belum berani mencuba...macaroon ini dah masuk kali ketiga..tapi cuma 5 pasang aje yang menjadi...yang lain merekah dan tenggelam ditengah. Entah mengapa tangan saya ni kalau bab-bab resipi yang main dengan puth telur atau pun yang jenis kena enjut telur memang akan selalu gagal. Sebenarnya saya memang suka benor-benor dengan macaroon ni...bukan aje cantik kalau kena gayanya boleh buat duit. Sebab ramai yang sukakan macaroon ni dijadikan door gift.  Sesungguhnya saya memang serius tentang macaroon ni dan memang berhajat benor nak belajar membuatnya secara "pro" kalau sesiapa ada guru yang pakar dalam bidang ini dan ada yang membuka kelas saya sanggup ambil cuti untuk membelajarnya. Saya serius ni. Tolong beritahu saya jika ada mana-mana macaroon kelas ya.

CHICKEN PERI-PERI /MEDITERRANEAN RICE AND PERI-PERI SAUCE

When we had our "buka puasa" at Nando's MidValley the other day, my daughter asked whether I can make it. Honestly that was the first time I tasted Nando's Chicken Peri-Peri, and to take up her challenge today I tried to make it for "buka puasa". I don't really have the recipe..just browse through the net and guided with what I had tasted the other day I made this Chicken Peri-Peri my own version, and to my surprise it was a hit, my children love sauce. 

I made some side, a simple coleslaw, potato salad, corn and some fresh salad and a small portion of Mediteranenan Rice.  Here's some context on Peri-Peri Chicken that I found from the net.

A hot and spicy chicken recipe, Peri Peri chicken is a speciality of the Nando's restaurants. This recipe uses a home made Peri Peri sauce that is made with several chile peppers, chile powder and other ingredients. You can make extra quantities of the Peri Peri sauce and keep it refrigerated until needed. The chicken has to marinade in the Peri Peri sauce for at least 2 hours (the longer the better) so you can start the marinade process a day ahead.

Saya ni orangnya pantang dicabar, baru-baru ni berbuka puasa dengan anak saya di Nando's Mid Valley, makan Chicken Peri-Perinya...kemudian anak perempuan saya tanya sama ada saya boleh tak buat ayam panggang tu. Saya kata hendak dapatkan sebiji macam Nando's mungkin tak, sebab saya tidak ada resipinya tetapi saya boleh cubalah berdasarkan lidah saya. Jadi hari ini buntu tak tahu apa nak masak jadi saya cuba buat Chicken Peri-Peri ini. Buka net tenguk lebih kurang bahanya untuk memastikan gerak lidah saya ini betul...jadi saya mula membuatnya cara saya.  Alhamdulillah nampaknya menjadi lebih-lebih lagi sosnya.

Untuk resipi ini saya banyak menggunakan cili hijau. Ayam ini sesuai dihidangkan dengan Nasi Mediterranean....yang lebih kurang macam nasi minyak juga la...lain-lain side dish tu ikut selera masing-masing. Saya buat sedikit potato salad, coleslaw dan fresh salad. Memang menarik...cuba mungkin perlu sedikit pengubah suaian untuk mengenakkan lagi masakan ini. Keseluruhanya...mantop!!!!
