Ginataang halo halo


Yesterday I tried Ginataang halo halo, a Filipino dessert ❤

My friend Johane from the Philippines taught me the recipe, bless your heart Johane, this recipe is amazing, I loooooooooooooooooooooooooooove Ginataang, love it !

In this dessert you use sweet potatoes ( orange and purple ), plantain, rice balls and tapioca pearls.
You can find purple sweet potato in Asian shops. It's delicious and gives the wonderful color to the dish 💜

To make the rice balls you use glutinous rice flour ( you find this in Asian shops as well ), mix it with some water and form balls with your fingers, that's it ! I love rice balls, I love the taste and the consistence of it. It's soft, elastic and sticky, for me it's the best !

So. To make this dessert. You cut your sweet potatoes and plantain. You cook it in water mixed with coconut milk until soft. Then you add some sugar ( follow your taste, my friend Johane had just a little dash of sugar ), the tapioca pearl and rice balls. Let it cook slowly until it gets sticky and gooey 💜💜💜

This dessert is good, healthy and naturally vegan, did I say I love it ? I love it !

Magandang gana ! ( Enjoy ! )

    Hmmm. This is simple. Do you have to freeze it so it gets cold or it's taken hot?

      You can actually eat it hot or cold, your choice. I like it lukewarm ^^

Here is how to make wonderful Egyptian bread ❤ Ingredients : 350 gr water 1 packet yeast 450 gr flour 50 gr whole rye flour 10 gr salt Mix all the ingredients well and knead. Let the dough rise in a warm place for an hour. Knead again and form small balls. Cover them and let them rise for another 20 mn. Spread them out with a rolling pin to get a nice flat circle. Use more rye flour if they are sticky. And then watch the video to see how you bake the bread ( you'll need a pastry circle and a grid ) Enjoy !

Santa Lucia day and the famous "lussekatter"

Image
Today in Norway in the Santa Lucia day. We celebrate the kind and sweet Saint Lucy " who according to legend brought food and aid to Christians hiding in the catacombs using a candle-lit wreath to light her way and leave her hands free to carry as much food as possible" ( quoting Wikipedia ) We celebrate also the winter solstice and the light finally coming back ( slowly ) in our lives !  There is a traditional pastry we make at this occasion in Norway : Lussekatter ! This is a spiced yeast-leavened sweet bun that is flavoured with saffron ( to remind you of the light 😎) I love it ! Today I veganized the recipe and it was just as good as the normal one. Are you interested to know the recipe, do contact me, I will enlighten you 😂

Arepas, Pupusas are deliciousas !

Image
A Venezuelan friend came to my house one evening and showed me how to make Arepas. Arepas is corn bread that you fry and then fill with what you want to fill with. Black beans and cheese. Meat with tomato sauce... On this day we used vegan chicken with tomato sauce and vegan cheddar. That was really delicious !❤ The recipe is really simple. You use this corn flour : And you mix with water. The consistence is right when you can make a ball in your hand and there is no cracks. Then you form small balls that you flatten with the palm of your hand before frying it in the pan. It's ready when the color is right ( see the picture ) After that it's just to enjoy. You can eat the Arepas as they are ( I did... a lot ! because it's so good ) or you open them with a knife and fill them with what you want to. No need to say you... I went crazy about these things. So I made more of them. Then I saw a video on internet of somebody from El Salvador who was ma
