Print Recipe

Description

RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT

  • blender
  • medium-sized saucepan
  • whisk
  • a bowl which the medium saucepan fits into
  • 2 medium-sized bowls
  • 2 fine sieves
  • sealable container (oil bottle)
  • ice cubes
  • coffee filter

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 150 grams carrot
  • 250 milliliters unrefined/cold-pressed rapeseed oil

Instructions

  1. Peel the carrots, roughly chop them and put them into the blender. Pour in the oil. Blend on the highest setting until there are only tiny pieces of the carrots left.
  2. Pour the mixture from the blender into a medium-sized pot and heat it over medium heat to a temperature of about 104°-106°C (219°-222°F), and maintain this temperature for the next 40 minutes. Stir occasionally, making sure the temperature remains steady and nothing gets burned.
  3. Prepare a bowl large enough to fit a medium-sized pot, and fill it with cold water and a handful of ice cubes. Also, hang a fine sieve strainer over one medium-sized bowl and another fine sieve strainer, with a coffee filter inside it, over another medium-sized bowl.
  4. Now, place the pot in the ice water and stir to cool the oil quickly. Once the oil is almost cold, remove the pot from the water and pour the oil into the prepared fine sieve to catch the coarse particles.
  5. Then, pour the oil into the second sieve, which is equipped with a coffee filter, to catch the remaining finer particles.
  6. Allow the oil to drip through for about 1 hour or maybe less depending on how many remaining particles are in the coffee filter. Once all the oil has passed through the coffee filter, transfer the collected amount of oil into a sealable container or directly into an oil bottle. Store in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Description

GOOD TO HAVE ON HAND

  • 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
  • 75 grams fresh basil leaves
  • 250 milliliters neutral cooking 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 basil 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 with the lid partially on 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.

  • sharp knife
  • cutting board
  • two medium-sized bowls
  • small pan
  • large pan

 

Ingredients

Units Scale
SLAW
  • 250 grams white cabbage
  • 250 grams red cabbage
  • 1 cup cilantro
  • 1 red onion
  • 200 grams low fat yogurt
  • salt & pepper to taste
SHRIMPS
  • 550 grams black tiger shrimps (26/30 p. lb. frozen count)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil for marinade
  • 2 tbsp olive oil for frying
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp smoked paprik
  • 1/2 tsp oregano
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp chili flakes
TOPPINGS & TACOS
  • 12 corn tortillas
  • 2 limes
  • 3 tbsp yogurt
  • 2 spring onions
  • cilantro

Instructions

  1. If you’re using frozen shrimp, let them thaw in a strainer with a drip tray in the fridge a day before you need them. Then wash them thoroughly and pat them dry before further use.
  2. Rinse fresh shrimp with cold water and pat dry.
  3. Cut the green part of the spring onions into fine strips lengthwise.
  4. Quarter the limes.
  5. Slice the red cabbage, white cabbage, and red onion into thin strips and put them in a medium-sized bowl. Pluck the coriander leaves from the stems, roughly chop them, and add to the bowl with the cabbage. Add yogurt, salt, and pepper as well, and stir everything well. Set aside.
  6. Next, peel and finely chop or press the garlic cloves and mix them with olive oil, chili, cumin, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and oregano to create a paste. Coat the shrimp in the paste, ensuring they’re evenly covered. Let marinate for 15 minutes.
  7. Meanwhile, in a small pan, lightly toast the corn tortillas on both sides without adding fat, so they’re warm but still bendable. Alternatively, you can warm them in the oven for a few minutes.
  8. Heat 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pan and fry the shrimp on each side for about 1-2 minutes until they’re no longer transparent and have curled up.
  9. Spread the tortillas on plates, top with the slaw, distribute 4 shrimps on each, and garnish with yogurt, coriander, spring onion, and lime juice.
