Healthy French Onion Soup Recipe-
Healthy French Onion Soup Recipe - That's Fit
Healthy French Onion Soup Recipe - That's Fit Press on the green letters to find the article. I decided to also copy it for you just in case.
FOUND THIS AWESOME RECIPE AND WANTED TO SHARE IT WITH YOU!!
A bowl of hot soup during the cold winter weather is just what the doctor ordered, especially when it features onions that are high in flavonoids and vitamin C, which are known to boost the immune system and fight off colds. Christine would like to make this soup for her father-in-law, who recently had heart surgery and needs to cut out a lot of fat from his diet. Traditional recipes for French onion soup call for slow-cooking onions in butter, simmering them in beef broth and topping with a cheese-covered baguette.
The main sources of fat in this dish are butter and cheese, which tend to be high in saturated fat. In my rehab, I will swap the butter for the more heart-healthy monounsaturated fat found in olive oil. Since there is not really a good substitution for the saturated fat in cheese that still tastes good, I will simply use a stronger flavored cheese in a smaller amount to maintain the taste but significantly reduce the fat content. Substituting a whole-grain baguette for the typical bread will increase the fiber content and further help toward a reduction in cholesterol levels.
Though there is still some fat in this recipe, I was able to cut the saturated fat content in half and still maintain the flavor. Best wishes, Christine, for your father-in-law's speedy recovery.

Hígado Encebollado
<iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/xPXPvYaJ9jE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Hígado encebollado:
Hoy hice finalmente un bistec de hígado de res, ante tanta insistencia de mi marido. Yo creo que detesto las vísceras...no sé, pero siempre me han causado cierta repugnancia. Pues probé un poquito, y me trajo recuerdos de cuando era chica y me hacían comer esta entraña o como se llame, cada semana, porque decían que hacía bien para la producción de hemoglobina; que era una excelente fuente de hierro, vitamina B12 y ácido fólico, elementos indispensables para producir células nuevas y aumentar los glóbulos rojos, aumentando la cantidad de oxígeno que la sangre puede transportar; evitando así las anemias en los niños, en especial. Ya se imaginan la locura de las mamás por darles a sus hijos alimentos que los tuvieran sanitos y rojitos...Se acuerdan de las cucharadas de aceite de bacalao? Esa era otra tortura que usaban nuestras mamás. Hoy en día, a pesar de que se fomenta la buena nutrición, existen toda clase de suplementos vitamínicos y pastillas que evitan los malos recuerdos que tenemos de aquellos alimentos "forzados".
Se dice que durante la epoca de la colonia, los esclavos africanos recogían las visceras de los animales y las sazonaban con ese gusto especial que caracterizaba a su cultura gastronómica. Y así se les ocurrieron platilllos que hoy en día son lo mejorcito de nuestra gastronomía....los anticuchos, los sesos, el cau-cau o guiso de mondongo de res (que algunos cronistas dicen que ya se comía en épocas pre-hispánicas).
En You-Tube me encontré una regia receta de Zoyla M y me apresté a seguirla, agregándole mis propios toques. Les proporciono la receta:
El hígado de res se corta delgadito para que, como dice la cocinera, absorba mejor el aderezo. El hígado cortado en bistecs, se sazona con sal y pimienta y se macera como por dos horas en un poco de vinagre rojo (yo le puse vinagre de vino), ají panca (dos cucharadas para 4 bistecs), una cucharada de ajo y un poco de orégano fresco, sobándolo para que no provoque problemas de pesadez estomacal.
Aparte, cortar dos cebollas rojas tipo pluma, y freirlas con ajo y un pimiento rojo o verde cortados en cubitos, salpimentarlo y echar un poco de ají amarillo para darle su toquecito picante. Mover constantemente para que no se queme y al final, agregarle un chorrito de vinagre rojo y dos tomates medianos cortados en cubitos...que no se hagan puré. Salpicarla con perejil fresco picadito.
Se retiran los bistecs de la salmuera y se frien en un poco de aceite...no demora mucho...que estén doraditos por ambos lados.
Ya para servir, se ponen en un plato con la salsa de cebolla por encima ...y se puede acompañar con papas doradas y arroz con choclo...pero más rico sale con sus tallarines verdes hechos con una salsa de albahaca, espinacas, cebolla, ajos, queso parmesano, leche evaporada y nueces...se hace en un ratito. La receta detallada la pueden consultar en mi blog.
Nuestra Teresita Izquierdo, famosa cocinera criolla, a quien tuve el honor de conocer, en su restaurante de Lima, "El Rincón que no Conoces", la presentaba así.
Que Dios la tenga en su goce, pues acaba de fallecer...cuando hace poco la entrevisté y pregunté sobre la cocina fusión en el Perú me dijo: "Hay hija....mucha fusión es confusión"...y creo que en parte tenía razón...la historia de la cocina peruana, la tradicional, no debe olvidarse ni suplantarse. Se deben de agregar e incorporar ingredientes nuevos o productos nativos de alto valor nutritivo, hacer platos nuevos, pero no confundir los antiguos....esos son Tradición Gastronómica Peruana intocable!

Pastel de Choclo: Corn Casserole
This is a dish which is very popular in Perú, and comes from our oldest cooking tradition.It has been modified by me because on these modern days, we need to be more practical. The substitute ingredients don't alter the taste of these wonderful dish, and make its confection a breeze!! Hope you like it!!!
Este es un plato muy popular en el Perú, aunque no creo que sea netamente peruano...He sustituido los ingredientes por razones prácticas, sobretodo, en estas épocas modernas!!! Creo no alterar el sabor de esta receta y creo que disfrutarán mucho de este pastel que ha cautivado las papilas gustativas de tantos antiguos y modernos.
Pasta:
4 cans of cream of corn (if they are not available, grind the kernels contained in the 4 cans in the blender) 4 latas de crema de choclo (sino la encuentran, licuar los granos de choclo entero de 4 latas...con agua y todo
some star anisse seeds...algunos granitos de anís estrella o normal.
1 teaspoon of granulated sugar. Una cucharadita de azucar blanca.
Aproximately one cup of Parmesan Cheese. I taza de queso parmesano, aproximadamente
1/2 cup of vegetal oil. 1/2 taza de aceite vegetal.
2 tablespoons of MASECA or corn flour. 2 cucharadas de Maseca o harina de maiz.
3 teaspoons of baking powder. 3 cucharaditas de polvo de hornear... Royal, por ejemplo
1 cubito de caldo de gallina; 1 chicken soup cube,
6 eggs; 6 huevos.
1 lata de leche evaporada..One can of evaporated milk.
Cocinar el choclo en una sartén con el aceite, las semillas de anís y el azúcar y cubito de pollo hasta que se espese un poco. In a pan, heat the oil and cook the corn together with the anisse seeds and the chicken soup cube for a while until the mix gets a little thick.
When this is ready, add the parmesan cheese, the corn flour and the evaporated milk and the baking powder diluted in a bit of milk or water, taking care that it doesn't get lumpy. Add salt, pepper, and soup cube. Make sure to check the salt before you add more. The cheese and the cube have plenty of it! Cuando este preparado esté listo, echar el queso parmesano, la Maseca , la leche evaporada y el polvo de hornear diluído con un poco de agua, echando todo lo anterior de a pocos y mezclando bien para que no se hagan grumos. Agregar un poco de sal, cuidando que no se sale, porque el queso ya tiene este ingrediente...pimienta y el cubito de gallina (también tiene sal)
Remove from the stove. When the mixture cools, add 6 beat egg whites, meringue style, blending them in and mixing them very well into the preparation. Add the egg yolks. Mix well and reserve this mix for a while at room temperature.
Remover de la hornilla y cuando la mezcla se enfríe, agregar las claras batidas a punto de nieve y las yemas. Mezcalr bien y dejar a un costado, a temperatura ambiente, mientras se prepara el relleno.
Relleno:
1 libra de carne molida: 1 pound of ground beef
1 cebolla: one onion
Ajos molidos: grounded garlic
salt and pepper: sal y pimienta.
2 huevos duros:2 hard boiled eggs
un puñado de pasas: a bunch of raisins
cebolla china picada: some chopped chives
Freir la cebolla y el ajo hasta que se doren ligeramente: Fry the onion and garlic until they turn golden brown. Sazonar con sal y pimienta. Echar la carne y dorar
Add the ground meat and fry . Season with salt and pepper.
Add the chives, chopped hard boiled eggs and raisins. Agregar la cebolla china picada, los huevos duros picados y las pasas.
Mezclar bien y reservar. Mix well and reserve.
In a greased medium sized pyrex or foil, add half of the corn mixture: Echar en un molde engrasado mediano, la mitad de la mezcla de la crema de choclo.
On top of it, add the meat preparation, and cover with the rest of the corn mixture. Encima de ella echar la carne y cubrir con el resto de la crema de choclo.
Meter al horno precalentado a 350 grados F y hornear hasta que dore encima e introduciendo la punta de un cuchillo al medio, éste salga limpio. Servir calientito. Se puede meter a la congeladora, si es que hay que guardarlo unos días.
Introduce it in a preheated oven at 350 degrees F. and bake until it is golden brown and when you insert a knife, this last one comes out clean. You can freeze it if you are not going to eat it in the next two coming days. Voila!! It's sooo good!!! Buenísimo!!!
Budín de Pan
Hola! Long time no talk!!!! Haha. I was away in Canada...getting some good recipes for you. I went to celebrate our Independence Day with a group of patriotic friends from London, Ontario. Wonderful trip...beautiful landscape, beautiful house and lots and lots of love from everybody. Thanks to the Belda's for all their efforts to make us happy while we were there!
Well, everybody took some peruvian dish for the party and I decided to cook the famous Pastel de Choclo. for which I already gave you the recipe, and also, Budín de Pan. This last dessert has been known since ''el tiempo de nuestras abuelitas" (our grandma's times). I guess they found a wonderful way to make use of all the leftover bread; which in those times must have been so tasty, since it was made from scratch and in those coal and wood ovens.
Well my dears, here comes the recipe, which can be augmented or disminished according to the number of people you want to please:
Budín de Pan...Bread Pudding
Around 8 pieces of yesterday's bread (2 days ago also works!!) or 3/4 of a loaf of bread.
Alrededor de 8 panes duros de ayer o antes de ayer (no pasa nada!) o 3/4 de un pan de molde grande.
1 can of evaporated milk
una lata de leche evaporada
In the can of evaporated milk measure 1 can of fresh milk of any percentage you wish.
Medir una lata de leche fresca en la lata de leche evaporada
1cup of sugar
una taza de azúcar blanca
1 melted stick of margarine
un paquete pequeño de margarina derretida (media taza)
1 teaspoon of vainilla extract
una cucharadita de extracto de vainilla
1 cup of raisins "borrachas"...that means...drunk. And you can make them drunk with a little cup of pisco or rum.
Una taza de pasas borrachas...emborracharlas con una copita de pisco o de ron
3 beaten eggs
3 huevos batidos
Mix the bread with the milks and tear it up with the help of a fork. Mezclar el pan con las leches y deshacerlo con la ayuda de un tenedor.
Add the melted breadstick. Agregar la margarina derretida.
Add the cup of sugar. Agregarle una taza de azúcar.
Add the vainilla extract and the raisins. Agregarle el extracto de vainilla y las pasas.
Beat the 3 eggs together and pour them inside the preparation. Mix everything well. Agregar los tres huevos batidos y echar dentro de la preparación. Mezclar bien.
Pour the puding in a caramelized pan (melt one cup of brown or white sugar and spread it evenly all over the pan). Echar el budín en un molde acaramelado (derretir una taza de azúcar rubia o blanca en el molde y extenderla alrededor de todos sus lados).
Cook in oven at 350 degrees F for aproximately 35 mins. or until you introduce a knife into the pudding and it comes out clean. Hornear en horno calentado a 350 grados F, por aproximadamente 35 minutos o hasta cuando se introduzca un cuchillo limpio en el budín, éste salga limpio.
If you want a nice moist pudding, you could cook it in the oven over a pan of water. Para que les salga un budín mas cremoso , meterlo en el horno a Baño María...o sea sobre un molde con agua debajo.
Have a nice day and always...remember me! Tengan un excelente día y siempre acuérdense de mí.

Ají de Gallina: Shredded Spicy Chicken Casserole
Hello English Speaking readers, it was about time I took care of you! Here is a nice and fast recipe for tomorrow's meal. You can also serve it in a party and I bet you are going to receive plenty of compliments.
I guess I had to give the popular peruvian Ají de Gallina, a fancy descriptive name, so that you would know off hand what it was all about. It is a wonderful dish, which if seasoned right, it could turn into a special concoction of which your guests and family would ask for seconds and wish that you would make it more frequently! It is a plate whose origins go back as far as the Middle Age in Europe, and has been influenced by the traditional cooking of the different invaders who occupied Spain, our mother country. Without doubt, we can say that it was born from the marriage of the Spanish cuisine(influenced by the moor, roman and french traditional cooking) with the peruvian piquant chili. The 400 year occupation of the peruvian territory by the spanish conquerors, created a new culture which was enriched by the mutual influence of foreign and native in their art, in their religious and philosophical thinking and especially, through the exchange of edible plants, which, through the years, would revolutionize the eating habits of the whole world and influence in their commercial ventures. This was the real treasure that the Spaniards got from their conquest, while we also benefited from the produce and animals they brought to Perú, as well as from their imposed culture.
The recipe is very simple and its presentation could vary according to your taste. Please let me know if you cook it, as well if you have any doubts about its preparation.
This recipe is for aproximately 8 to 10 people:
1 whole chicken boiled in a pot of water with a small chopped onion, 1 diced carrot, 2 coarsely chopped celery stalks, and some parsley sprigs; Salt and pepper to taste. Reserve the stock (dispose of the vegetables...or mix them with the stock if you have any left after you prepare the dish) and let the chicken cool off and shred it. Put aside.
In a pan, pour some vegetable oil and fry one diced onion with 2 chopped garlic cloves (did you know that in order to remove the skin from the garlic clove you only have to press it with the flat part of a knife, and it comes right off?). Add two fresh yellow chilis seeded, deveined and liquified with a bit of water. Cook until the onion and the chili are soft, but not brown. Usually the garlic cooks faster than the onion, so first start cooking the onion and when half way done, add the chopped garlic.
Soak 8 slices of whole wheat bread (it has a nutty flavor) in one cup of the reserved chicken stock and make sure that the bread is completely shredded. Add this to the pan with the onion and garlic and stir constantly, until it thickens up a bit. Add the shredded chicken, and mix well...always stirring. Add one cup of parmesan cheese, and about a can of evaporated milk. Add a handful of pulverized nuts, for an added nutty flavor. Salt, pepper, a pack of Goya seasoning with saffron, and a little bit of cumin to taste. Stir until the mixture appears to be not so liquid...not so thick. You can judge for yourself looking at the picture. And that's it!!!! Hope you like it!!!
Now, the way to serve it, because in Perú we have a tradition of mixing starches....make some rice with corn kernels inside (add salt and garlic and oil to the water, to make it tastier!)...is : a laddle full of the shredded chicken, a side of rice, one halved yukon gold potato under or on the chicken's side, an Alfonso olive (It's peruvian, but I don't care what nationality it has, as long as it is black...I hope my compatriots don't kill me!!) and half a hard boiled egg.
Now, if you want to serve it as hors de ouvres, get some canapés from your local bakery shop and fill them with the hot chicken mixture. I guarantee your guests are going to love it! Sometimes people are a little bit renuent to eat unknown dishes, but a canapé with any of these preparations is a good introduction to a new recipe! Enjoy.
I guess I had to give the popular peruvian Ají de Gallina, a fancy descriptive name, so that you would know off hand what it was all about. It is a wonderful dish, which if seasoned right, it could turn into a special concoction of which your guests and family would ask for seconds and wish that you would make it more frequently! It is a plate whose origins go back as far as the Middle Age in Europe, and has been influenced by the traditional cooking of the different invaders who occupied Spain, our mother country. Without doubt, we can say that it was born from the marriage of the Spanish cuisine(influenced by the moor, roman and french traditional cooking) with the peruvian piquant chili. The 400 year occupation of the peruvian territory by the spanish conquerors, created a new culture which was enriched by the mutual influence of foreign and native in their art, in their religious and philosophical thinking and especially, through the exchange of edible plants, which, through the years, would revolutionize the eating habits of the whole world and influence in their commercial ventures. This was the real treasure that the Spaniards got from their conquest, while we also benefited from the produce and animals they brought to Perú, as well as from their imposed culture.
The recipe is very simple and its presentation could vary according to your taste. Please let me know if you cook it, as well if you have any doubts about its preparation.
This recipe is for aproximately 8 to 10 people:
1 whole chicken boiled in a pot of water with a small chopped onion, 1 diced carrot, 2 coarsely chopped celery stalks, and some parsley sprigs; Salt and pepper to taste. Reserve the stock (dispose of the vegetables...or mix them with the stock if you have any left after you prepare the dish) and let the chicken cool off and shred it. Put aside.
In a pan, pour some vegetable oil and fry one diced onion with 2 chopped garlic cloves (did you know that in order to remove the skin from the garlic clove you only have to press it with the flat part of a knife, and it comes right off?). Add two fresh yellow chilis seeded, deveined and liquified with a bit of water. Cook until the onion and the chili are soft, but not brown. Usually the garlic cooks faster than the onion, so first start cooking the onion and when half way done, add the chopped garlic.
Soak 8 slices of whole wheat bread (it has a nutty flavor) in one cup of the reserved chicken stock and make sure that the bread is completely shredded. Add this to the pan with the onion and garlic and stir constantly, until it thickens up a bit. Add the shredded chicken, and mix well...always stirring. Add one cup of parmesan cheese, and about a can of evaporated milk. Add a handful of pulverized nuts, for an added nutty flavor. Salt, pepper, a pack of Goya seasoning with saffron, and a little bit of cumin to taste. Stir until the mixture appears to be not so liquid...not so thick.

Mediterranean Fish Casserole
Hi again!! The other day my demanding husband, bought me one of several new cook books that he has already purchased for me. It is called Mmmm Casseroles (Love Food from Parragon Books) and is guaranteed to give you delicious and irresistible recipes (He thinks our house is a restaurant where you can try new recipes all the time). I decided to reward my good readers with this wonderful mediterranean fish casserole (the picture was tempting), which has already been tried by me and my family. The only problem with me is that being a good cook myself (I am blowing the tips of my fingers!!), I am not a faithful follower and what I will give you, according to me, is an improved version of the original recipe.
Heat 2 tbsp. of olive oil in a skillet and fry one red onion with 2 chopped garlic cloves, until they start to soften. Add to the skillet, two red bell peppers, seeded and chopped, and continue to cook over low heat for an additional 5 mins. Add 14 oz canned chopped tomatoes ( I added 2 fresh peeled and chopped tomatoes and about a cup of tomato sauce...didn't have the can...it was an emergency!), fresh oregano, and a few saffron strands (didn't have it either, so I added a packet of Goya Seasoning with Saffron...works perfect) and me...I added some chopped cilantro sprigs from my yard (fresh!).
In a separate pan, I boiled some mixed seafood (about half a pound that comes in frozen bags), and about 2 handfuls of peeled and deveined shrimp... Only until they turn red). I reserved the stock.
The recipe calls for one pound and a half of whitefish chunks, but I used catfish ( you can use any firm fish you prefer) and one pound and a half of prepared squid cut into rings ( I used the canned squid...one can). Place the fish in a large casserole, with the squid and all the rest of the seafood. Pour in the vegetable mixture and 1 and1/4 cups of stock; stir well, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Cover and cook in a preheated oven for about 30 minutes, until de fish is tender and cooked through. Add the shrimp, and heat through (Be careful not to uncover the casserole with all your hands on it...wait until some of the steam escapes.
Spoon into warmed bowls, garnished with some whole shrimps which have been reserved, and the parsley. Serve immediately with crusty bread to mop up the casserole juices. Mmmmm!!!!
We were in heaven while we ate it!!! Good for stimulating aaaallll your senses!!!

Tiramisú
Aprende a preparar uno de los postres italianos más deliciosos
Publicado en el diario El ComercioEl tiramisú es un dulce muy fácil de hacer y es conocido a nivel mundial por conquistar los paladares de millones de personas
Jueves 02 de septiembre de 2010 - 10:41 am 1 comentarios
(Reportube) Los ingredientes son: bizcochos de soletilla (conocidos como bizcotelas), huevos, queso mascarpone (también se puede utilizar otro que no tenga sabor fuerte), café, algún licor (de preferencia amaretto o vodka), azúcar y cacao en polvo.
Lo primero que tienes que hacer, para preparar el tiramisú, es separar las claras de los huevos. Las yemas se mezclan con el queso mascarpone y el azúcar, mientras que las claras se baten con azúcar hasta llegar a punto nieve. Luego, estos dos preparados se revuelven hasta obtener una combinación homogénea.
Finalmente los bizcochos se remojan en el café con un poco de licor y, en otro recipiente, se alterna la mezcla de queso con huevos y los bizcochos remojados. Para servir se espolvorea el cacao sobre el postre.

Tortilla de papas del Olé Bar
Lima está inundada de montones de restaurantes de la mejor calidad: desde los criollos típicos, hasta los internacionales y los llamados de "fusión", que integran ingredientes nativos que transforman o se fusionan con los internacionales, para lograr una nueva cocina que ya rompe paladares con su sabor extraordinario y único. Por otro lado, este nuevo furor gastronómico está complementado por un gusto por la decoración de cada uno de los locales que la ofrecen. Desde el mobiliario simple, sofisticado o artesanal que los decora, cada uno de estos establecimientos ofrece un ambiente acogedor con lujo propio, que convierte al comensal en un engreído perenne. La presentación de los platos se ha convertido también en una forma de arte novedosa, creativa, sofisticada y tentadora. Todos los sentidos se recrean con la presentación de aquellos.
El Café Olé, en San Isidro, nos llamó la atención como representativo de todos los atributos arriba mencionados. La incorporacion de elementos autóctonos en la decoración se fusionan acertadamente con un mobiliario elegante y sobrio de estilo internacional. La música calmante, la elegancia y amabilidad del personal, y la presentación y exquisitez de la comida que se ofrece, contribuyen a la tremenda sensación acogedora de este local.
2 kilos de papas de variedad Yungay o Perricholi. Si no las encuentra en el extranjero, utilizar de preferencia la papa blanca de variedad holandesa.
1 kilo de cebolla blanca picada en cuadritos.
16 huevos
1 botella de aceite de oliva
sal y pimienta al gusto
En fuego muy lento caramelizar o cocinar la cebolla que ha sido cubierta por el aceite de oliva, como por una hora.
Cortar las papas en lajas más o menos finas y freirlas aparte en aceite de oliva.
Cuando las cebollas estén cocinadas, drenar el aceite de oliva sobrante, y agregar las papas y los 16 huevos ligeramente batidos y revolver los ingredientes bien. Dejar cocinar un rato con la sartén tapada. Cuando ya esté todo cocinadito, hacer una especie de malabarismo, deslizando suavemente la tortilla sobre un plato tendido o la tapa, y voltearla sobre la sarten para que se dore ligeramente el otro lado.
Sírvala cortada en tajadas y acompáñela con un buen vinito, y al son de una conversación agradable.
