Print Recipe

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
  • 450 grams fresh yellow bell peppers
  • 350 milliliters neutral cooking oil

Instructions

  1. Wash the peppers and remove both the stem and the core.
  2. Put the bell pepper pieces into the blender. Pour in the oil. Blend on the highest setting until it becomes a thick consistency and no pieces of bell pepper are longer visible.
  3. 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 40-45 minutes. Stir only occasionally, making sure the temperature remains steady. This long cooking time is essential for all the water to evaporate, allowing the perishable solids to settle at the bottom and the bright yellow 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.
  4. At the end of the cooking process, 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Then, rinse the strainer and dry it off well 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.
  7. Allow the oil to drip through for about 1 to 2 hours. 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.

Description

GOOD TO HAVE ON HAND

  • baking dish – my used measurements were 20x26cm (8×10 inch)
  • sharp knife
  • cutting board
  • medium-sized bowl
  • whisk
  • small bowl
  • pastry brush
  • spatula
  • large pan

 

Ingredients

Units Scale
DOUGH
  • 450 grams all-purpose flour
  • 180 milliliters full-fat cow milk
  • 2 tsp dry active yeast
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tbsp butter, room-temperature
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp olive oil for greasing the bowl
BACON
  • 250 grams bacon
  • 2 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 60 milliliter white wine (or any kind of stock)
CARAMALIZED ONIONS
  • 600 grams yellow onions
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 60 milliliter white wine (or any kind of stock)
POPPY SEED GLAZE
  • 2 tbsp butter, melted
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 tsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp poppy seeds
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
OTHER INGREDIENTS
  • 250 grams cheddar cheese
  • 1 tsp butter for greasing the baking dish

Instructions

  1. To make the dough, warm the milk slightly to 35–40°C (95–104°F) and mix it with the dry active yeast and honey in a small container. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until bubbles form, indicating the yeast is active. Meanwhile, in a medium-sized bowl, combine the egg, butter, and salt. Stir in the milk-yeast mixture until well incorporated. Gradually add the flour in four additions, mixing thoroughly after each one. Once the dough is firm enough, transfer it to a clean work surface and knead with the remaining flour until it becomes smooth, elastic, and soft. This should take about 10 minutes. Lightly oil a large bowl and place the dough ball inside. Coat the dough lightly with a bit more olive oil, then cover the bowl with cling film and a clean towel. Let it rest in a warm place for one hour.
  2. To make the caramelized onions, peel the onions, cut them into thin half-circles, and cook them in a large pan with a tablespoon of butter and a pinch of salt over low to medium heat. Stir occasionally, allowing them to caramelize slowly. This takes about 30 minutes, depending on the desired color. Finish by deglazing with a splash of white wine and letting it reduce briefly. Alternatively, you can use stock instead of wine. Remove the onions from the pan and set aside in a bowl.
  3. For the bacon, use the same pan you caramelized the onions in (no need for additional fat). Fry the bacon until crispy, then add fresh or dried thyme, a pinch of cayenne pepper, and a drizzle of honey. Let everything caramelize over medium heat before deglazing with a splash of white wine or stock. Allow the liquid to evaporate, then set the bacon aside.
  4. Grease a baking dish with butter and set aside. Preheat the oven to 190°C / 375°F. Grate the cheddar cheese and set it aside. Dust a clean work surface with flour and place the dough ball on it. It should have doubled in size by now. Sprinkle the dough lightly with more flour and roll it out into a rectangle about 30×40 cm (12×16 inches). Spread half of the grated cheddar cheese evenly over the dough, followed by the caramelized onions and bacon. Top with the remaining cheese. Roll the dough tightly from the bottom upward, then cut it into 12 equal pieces. Place the rolls in the greased baking dish, cut side up. Cover the dish with cling film and a towel, and let it rest for another 30 minutes in a warm place.
  5. Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until golden brown. While the rolls bake, prepare the poppy seed glaze. In a small bowl, mix together melted butter, garlic powder, poppy seeds, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard.
  6. After 30 minutes of baking, remove the rolls from the oven and brush them evenly with the glaze. Return them to the oven and bake for another 5 minutes, being careful not to let them get too dark. Let the rolls cool for 15 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

GOOD TO HAVE ON HAND

  • shallow deep dish
  • oven

 

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 6 fresh eggs
  • 500 grams to 1000 grams fine-grained salt (depending on the size of your container)

Instructions

  1. Distribute the half of your fine-grained salt evenly in the shallow deep container and form six wells for the egg yolks. You should not be able to see the bottom. The wells should be completely formed out of salt, ensuring that the egg yolks are completely surrounded by salt.
  2. Separate one egg at a time. Carefully let the yolks slide into the wells in the salt. Do not discard the egg whites – they can be used for making meringue or egg white omelet, for example.
  3. Once you have placed all the egg yolks into the wells, cover them with the other half of fine-grained salt and put them in the refrigerator for 5 days.
  4. After 5 days, take your container with the egg yolks out of the refrigerator and carefully remove the yolks from the salt. The yolk will now be very sticky and feel a bit like firmer hair gel. Rinse off the remaining salt from each yolk under cold water. Place the egg yolks on a baking rack lined with parchment paper and dry them in the oven at approximately 80°C (175°F) for one hour. Occasionally open the oven door for a few seconds to let all the moisture escape.
  5. Once the egg yolks are fully dried, remove them from the oven and let them cool completely.
  6. The egg yolks are now firm and ready to use. The cured egg yolks can be stored in a sealable glass jar in the refrigerator for 3-4 weeks. And I like to grate a bit of them over every savory dish 🙂

GOOD TO HAVE ON HAND

  • sharp knife
  • cutting board
  • large bowl
  • small bowl
  • large pan with lid

 

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 40 dumpling wrappers
  • 400 grams minced pork
  • 1 tbsp minced ginger
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 3 spring onions
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground pepper
  • all-purpose flour
  • neutral cooking oil

Instructions

  1. Defrost the dumpling wrappers if necessary.
  2. Peel the ginger, finely chop or grate and add to a large bowl.
  3. Peel and finely chop or crush the garlic cloves and add to the ginger in the large bowl.
  4. Separate the spring onions into whites and greens. Cut the white part into fine rings and add to the bowl with the ginger and garlic. Cut the green part into fine strips. Set aside.
  5. Also add the ground meat into the large bowl. Additionally, add: 1/4 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp ground pepper, one egg, 1 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tbsp soy sauce, and 1 tsp sesame oil. Mix the entire mixture with two chopsticks and set aside.
  6. As preparation for your dumplings, sprinkle a work surface or serving plate with a little flour, so you can place your filled dumplings there before frying them. Without flour, the dough would stick to the surface after a while.
  7. Now, it’s time to fill the dumplings. For this, you will need the bowl with your filling, a small bowl with fresh, cold water, a teaspoon, and the dumpling wrappers.
  8. For the filling and folding feel free to watch my video on this (located at the bottom of this page) as visuals always help 😉 Fill each dumpling wrapper with about 1 tsp of filling. Place the filling in the center of the wrapper. Dab a bit of the cold water on one half of the edges of the wrapper along the edge with a finger. Fold the wrapper in half so that the filling is enclosed by the edges. Press the edges tightly together. Once you have enclosed the filling in the dough, take the two rear corners, moisten one corner from one side and fold the corners onto each other from behind. Press tightly and place the dumpling on the floured work surface. Continue this process until for the remaining dumpling wrappers. For 40 dumplings, this can take about 15 to 30 minutes, depending on your speed.
  9. If you want to freeze the dumplings, I recommend doing it now and not after the dumplings have been fried.
  10. Once you have finished all the dumplings, heat a large pan over medium heat. Add 1 tbsp of oil to the pan and place as many dumplings as you can fit on the flat side in the pan. Let them fry for a few minutes until the bottom has become crispy. Then reduce the heat to low and pour a little water into the pan. Immediately cover the pan with the lid. Be careful that the oil in the pan is not too hot, otherwise there is a risk of burning. The dumplings will now be steamed with the water in the pan. Keep the lid closed until the dumpling skins have become translucent. This can take about 10-15 minutes. If they are not yet translucent and there is no more water in the pan, simply add some more. Now you can remove the lid and turn the heat back up to medium. Let them fry for about 5 more minutes without the lid, so that the bottom of the dumplings can become crispy again. Remove the dumplings from the pan and process the next batch in the same way.
  11. When all the dumplings are done, serve them in a bowl with this dumpling dipping sauce and the green parts of the spring onion. You can also top them with roasted sesame seeds if you like.
