UK/ Europe Great Eats

[CosmicMuffin]

So post your favorite LC Eats here. But make things you have cooked and tell us how they turned out.

I like to take spinach, as much as you want cause it shrinks in cooking, salmon, butter 1 Tbs, and as much fresh garlic as you can want, salt and pepper. Wrap up in a foil pouch and pop in the oven and bake.

I don't know cooking times or temps. I just keep checking because I am no bloody good understand the temp on the oven here.

Ok....this is from Kissa?? I think she is the one who gave this to me. If it was you Shy sorry.

Hollandaise Sauce

Ingredients:
4 Egg yolks
1/2 teaspoon salt
Dash of Tabasco
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
8 Tablespoons unsalted butter

Combine egg yolks, seasonings, and lemon juice in container of blender and turn the blender to "blend" setting — just to blend the mixture. Heat the butter until it is bubbling and very hot, but not browned.

Remove the insert from the lid of the blender, turn the blender to medium-high, and pour the hot butter in a thin, continuous stream. Do not pour too fast or the eggs will not absorb the butter properly.

When the butter is absorbed and the sauce thick, turn off the blender. If the sauce should start curdling while you are adding the butter, pour 1 tablespoon of hot water into the sauce while the blender is running.

Makes 8 servings. 1 net gram of carbohydrate per serving.

Not my hollandaise, but I wish it was!

Hope Mint will post the rib rub recipe tomorrow.

Bedtime now.

[MintQ8]

Will go and grab it shortly.

[Kissa]

My Mum used to make this, she served it with hunks of bread of course!!!

Slice the cheddar cheese thinly, or buy it ready sliced.

Slice a little onion very thinly.

If not on induction slice a tomato very thinly.

On a heat proof plate, I use a Pyrex one, lay cheese in one layer, add a little sliced onion and a few slices of tomato.

Sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper and, strangely, a little malt vinegar. Trust me, this is the secret ingredient.

Place under a hot grill and cook until bubbling and beginning to brown nicely.

You can cook it in the microwave too, if you have one.

Wait a while before you eat it or you will burn your tongue! Everyone seems to like this, serve it to non LCers with bread on the side.

Enjoy.

Finally got 'rounduit'

Fran McCullough's Rubbed Ribs

The Rub (serves 4)

1 tablespoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon chili powder, such as Gebhardt
1/2 teaspon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon celery salt
1 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne)
1/2 teaspoon salt

The Ribs
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar (mum says she doesn't use this)
2 racks meaty spareribs
Olive oil

(Per serving: Protein 51.4g, Fat 53.6g, Carbohydrate (this includes the sugar) 3g)

To make the rub, mix everything together in a bowl and store in a screw-top jar. Makes almost 3 tablespoons, enough for 2 racks of ribs.

Make the ribs: Mix the sugar into the spices. Rub the ribs with olive oil, then rub them all over with the spice rub. Preheat the oven to 325 F (170 C - Gas 3). Put the ribs in a baking dish and cover loosely with foil and continue baking until the meat is just ready to pull away from the bone, about another half hour.

I think you get approximately 2.9grams of Carbs per teaspoon of sugar - so if you cut the sugar out of the recipe you would take the carb count down to basically 0 (0.1) if you count 1 tablespoon as having 4 teaspoons in it (1 tablespoon = 20ml, 1 teaspoon = 5ml).

[Kissa]

I use splenda instead of the brown sugar and vary the other ingredients depending on what I have in the house.

I add the splenda straight to the rub and don't bother with the olive oil. I have used it on lots of different meats and everyone loves it.

Isn't she clever with the maths???

[Maid of Erin]

Thank you for posting the rub recipe! I have some frozen ribs in the freezer that I didn't know how to cook without the BBQ sauce. Will try this soon and let you know how it comes out.

[Kissa]

You'll like it I know, hot or cold!

[shykins]

ty for the recipe.. often looking for something to put on chicken wings so may give it a try for them

Rev rolls the lou-bi way!!

5 large eggs (or 6 medium)
3/4 tsp Cream of tartar
3 (generous) tblsp cottage cheese (I use flavoured varieties, chive is my favourite)

Separate the yolks from the whites into separate bowls, the whites will quadruple in size so a large bowl for them.
Add the cream of tartar to the whites and whisk until you can’t physically whisk anymore!! They will be totally solid.
Add the cottage cheese to the bowl with the yolks and mix well. Mash out any lumps otherwise these go hard when they cook.
Add the yolk mixture to the whites and fold in making sure all of the mix is the same colour.
Dollop about 10 rev rolls onto baking sheets lined with baking parchment V. important, I tried grease proof paper and lost the whole batch!!)
In the oven for 1 hour @ 140º (I have a fan oven)
These rolls do not come out very tall, so I use 2 for a sandwich. I have found that I can freeze the rolls using this mix. I remove them about an hour before I need them.

I think they’re about 1 carb each.

That sounds great shy, thanks for the easy to follow recipe!!

The rev rolls are well worth it, they are a near flavourless tool to have things in and on, it's so cool to be able to have a burger with the works and to be able to hold it not to have to cut it with a knife and fork!!

[Kissa]

Knife and fork???? You should see me in Burger King with my sticky fingers around that excel bacon double cheeseburger.

You right it is just embarrassing!!!

Good recipes girls.

[shykins]

no knife and fork here either i jus go for it.. give bun to hubby who has chip butties with it lol

used to like the mac extra tasty but for some reason they stopped doing it willhave to take alook at that burgerking one

lol lou as u can see imeasure everything la la la

[MintQ8]

I'ld like to say I taught my mother everything she knows - but she introduced me to the bunless burger (I think???) - we've been eating it that way so long now - that any other way would be horrid!!!

[Kissa]

Cheeky!!!!
