GOOD TO HAVE ON HAND

  • sharp knife
  • cutting board
  • medium-sized bowl
  • food processor
  • measuring spoons
  • medium-sized plate

 


Ingredients

Units Scale
WHIPPED FETA
  • 200 grams feta cheese
  • 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
RAINBOW VEGGIES
  • 1/4 cucumber
  • 4-6 cocktail tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp peas
  • 2-3 radishes
  • 1/2 carrot
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill
  • 1 tbsp fresh chives
  • 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

Instructions

  • Thoroughly wash the cucumber, carrot, tomatoes, radishes, dill, and chives. Peel the cucumber and carrot and cut them into fine strips, halve the cherry tomatoes, slice the radishes thinly, finely chop the dill, and cut the chives into little rolls. Put everything into a medium-sized bowl and mix with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. If the feta cheese is very salty, I would not add any more salt to the vegetables.
  • Place the feta cheese in the food processor and turn it on. Gradually add 3 tablespoons of olive oil until the cheese is creamily blended.
  • Spread the feta on a flat plate and smooth it out. Distribute the vegetables over the cheese and serve. If you store the plate in the fridge, the cheese might harden a bit. I would recommend bringing it to room temperature before serving.

Cilantro Oil


  • Author: Kimberly
  • Total Time: 75 min
  • Yield: 250 ml / 1 cup

Description

RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT
  • blender
  • medium-sized saucepan
  • whisk
  • a bowl into which the medium saucepan fits
  • 2 medium-sized bowls
  • fine sieve
  • sealable container
  • ice cubes
  • coffee filter

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 30 grams cilantro
  • 250 milliliters unrefined / cold-pressed rapeseed oil

Instructions

  1. Separate the leaves from the stems and put the leaves into the blender. Pour in the oil. Blend on the highest setting until it becomes bright green and no pieces of cilantro are longer visible.
  2. Pour the mixture from the blender into a medium-sized pot and heat it over medium heat, constantly stirring, to a temperature of about 102°-103°C (215°-217°F). Then, let the oil simmer for the next 10 minutes. Stir only occasionally, making sure the temperature remains steady. This cooking time is essential for all the water to evaporate, allowing the perishable solids to settle at the bottom and the dark green oil to float on top. You’ll know all the water has evaporated when the oil in the pot barely bubbles anymore – so if it’s still bubbling vigorously, keep it simmering.
  3. Meanwhile, prepare a bowl large enough to fit the medium-sized pot, filled with cold water and a handful of ice cubes. Also, hang a fine sieve strainer over a medium-sized bowl.
  4. Now, place the pot in the ice water and stir to stop the cooking process. Once the oil is no longer boiling and is almost cold, remove the pot from the water and pour the oil into the fine sieve to catch the coarse particles.
  5. Then, rinse the strainer and hang it over the second medium-sized bowl. Press a coffee filter into the strainer and pour the captured oil into the coffee filter, so that the remaining perishable and coarser particles are caught.
  6. Allow the oil to drip through for about 1 hour or maybe more depending on how many remaining particles are in there. Once all the oil has passed through the coffee filter, transfer the collected amount into a sealable container or directly into an oil bottle. Store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
