RECIPES AND TIPS
The basic ingredients to make them do not usually vary much, although there are versions for all tastes. Those without egg, those with only the yolk, those with only the white and those with the whole egg.
I had never worked with lard for baking before and I was very surprised by the smell that the dough gave off both when I prepared it for refrigeration and when I took them out of the oven.
While it is true that with pregnancy I have the sense of smell at 200%, I have to admit that I had my doubts about the result and when I finished making the dough, I doubted if that would be the dough of the mantecados or a dough of Iberian ham cookies.
The wafers are easy to find, I have seen them in Carrefour, Mercadona and many grocery stores. You just have to be careful when you are placing them so that they do not break. The procedure is very simple.
They are next to each other. One more focused on cooking and baking utensils and the other (better decorated) more focused on kitchen and tableware, although you can find molds of different types in both establishments.
Juanguila, did you know it?
Well, today I bring you a recipe that for me is like a medicine. They are raw vegan crackers of flax seeds and toasted sesame seeds with spices made in a dehydrator at low temperature so as not to lose the beneficial properties that these wonderful seeds provide us. Since I had the relapse I take flax seeds in salads, but Mariana (DEP) reminded me of the following passage from the book of Odile Fernandez My Anticancer Recipes: “Tamoxifen is a common drug in women who have had breast cancer, as it inhibits estrogen and thus the possibility of recurrence. The intake of 25g of flax seeds a day has a similar effect to taking tamoxifen, without the important side effects that this drug causes in women (endometrial cancer and thromboembolism)”. Although my cancer is not breast cancer, since it is a desmoid tumor, some oncologists insist that I should take tamoxifen (because of the estrogen inhibition), and that I should not take flaxseed.
Recipes from Vi
When I uploaded the yellow rice with pork, I think I wrote something like “Cubans make yellow rice with any product”. So much so that it is the most visited page of the blog and this is about Cuban cuisine, because the recipe says with pork, not pork (as a Cuban would say). Besides, I mentioned that shrimps are present in our table in one way or another. That of yellow we owe it to the Bijol, a species of Cuban origin that is marketed today in the U.S. more than in any other part of the world. However, this is not about spices, trade or other things, but about rice with shrimps, which do not fall asleep, but are carried away by the current and eaten by tourists.
Julienne an onion, carrots, parsnips, turnip, three cloves of garlic and tomatoes. With all the vegetables and the shrimp heads, fry until it almost sticks to the casserole. Add 1.5 liters of water. With the bay leaves and parsley, bring to boil. Remove after 20 minutes, strain and reserve the broth.
Have you tried the octopus omelette?
Hello, I’m just starting in this blog thing, first I have visited a lot of them, and I have to tell you that this is one of the best I have visited. You have recipes that can be made without using the thermomix, there are a lot of blogs that use it, and I don’t have it. I cook out of obligation, but now I want to start cooking as a hobby and I wanted to start with a bread recipe. I would like to congratulate you for your blog and thank you for thinking of all of us who don’t have the thermomix.
