150g (5.3 oz) dark soft brown sugar
4 lightly beaten eggs
175 ml (1/3 of pint) sunflower oil
115g (4.1 oz) walnuts, bashed
115g (4.1 oz) sultanas
Juice of 1 orange
Zest of 2 oranges
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda

1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Ingredients for the icing
100g (3.5 oz) sifted icing sugar
150g (5.3 oz) cream cheese
Juice and zest of 1 lemon
Cuisine: Cooking time: 80 mins Serving: 1 people

This cake will serve six to eight people. Take a loose-bottom square cake pan and grease with some butter. Line with baking paper and put aside.

Into a large mixing bowl place the mashed bananas, carrots, sugar, eggs, oil, walnuts, sultanas and the zest and juice of the orange. Mix in with a wooden spoon.

Sift the flour, bicarbonate of soda, cinnamon and baking powder on top of the mixed ingredients and using an electric hand beater, whisk until smooth.

Pour the mixture into the prepared cake pan. Bake at 180°C (356°F) for 35 mins on the lower rack of the Halogen oven.

After this, turn down the heat to 160°C (320°F) and bake for a further 35 minutes or until the cake is cooked through. Insert a metal skewer into the cake – if it comes out clean then it’s done.

Leave the cake to cool in the cake pan for about 6-10 mins. After that, turn out onto a cooling rack and leave until it has finished cooling.

Then mix all of the icing ingredients in a bowl with a wooden spoon and glaze cake top with the mixture. Enjoy!

Posted by darko on Jul – 17 – 2013 under Cookbooks, Halogen Oven, Halogen Oven Recipes, Halogen Recipe, Halogen Recipes, Recipes
Ingredients
1 orange
1 lemon
175g/6 oz self-raising flour
1 tsp baking powder
2 medium eggs
60g/2 ¼ oz ground almonds
125g/4 ½ oz golden caster sugar
125g/4 ½ oz soft butter
100g/3 ½ oz icing sugar

Here’s a delicious halogen oven recipe from Norma Miller.

Her book, containing more than 150 delicious Halogen recipes, entitled “The Halogen Oven Secret”, is available through the Amazon link down the page to the right in our sidebar.

Method

A well-known traditional cake to which I’ve added ground almonds. Bite into a slice and taste the intense citrus flavours of the sweet glaze which is poured over the hot cake. You will need a greased and base-lined 18cm/7 inch deep cake tin (square or round) which fits in your oven.

1.Remove the lid from the halogen oven, place the low rack inside the oven and replace the lid. Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F).

2.Finely grate the rind from half the orange and half the lemon, cut both in half and squeeze the juice from the whole fruits (you will need about 6 tbsp). Mix the juices together in a small basin.

3.Sift the flour and baking powder into a large bowl. Break the eggs into the flour and add the ground almonds, sugar, butter, orange and lemon rinds and 3 tbsp fruit juice.

4.With a wooden spoon or mixer, lightly beat the ingredients together until thoroughly mixed, light and fluffy. Spoon into the prepared tin and level the surface.

5.Put into the hot oven and cook for 20-25 minutes until risen, firm to the touch and cooked through.

6.Whilst the cake is cooking, make the drizzle mixture. Sieve the icing sugar into a bowl, pour in the remaining 3 tbsp fruit juices and mix to a smooth paste.

7.Turn the cake onto a wire rack and whilst still hot use a fine skewer to make several holes in the top of the cake. Spoon the drizzle mixture over the top of the cake and leave to cool.

Roast Gammon Joint

Posted by Editorial Staff on Mar – 25 – 2013 under Halogen Oven, Halogen Oven Recipes, Halogen Recipe, Halogen Recipes, Healthy Recipes, Recipes
Ingredients
2 kg/4.4 lb gammon joint
Cuisine: Cooking time: 70 mins Serving: 4-6 people

Here’s a simple yet delicious recipe for cooking gammon joint in your halogen oven.

Method

For a 2 kg gammon joint

Place the gammon on the bottom rack and cover with foil loosely. For halogen ovens smaller than 12L models use the extension ring to take the heat source higher.

Preheat the halogen oven to 160°C (approx 325°F) and cook for 1 hour. Turn it and cook for another hour.

Then remove foil and, still at 160°C, let it brown for 10 minutes.

When it’s brown all round, check the gammon’s cooked through. Depending on the shape/thickness of your joint, cooking times may vary a bit.

Test with a skewer to make sure juices run clear.

Whole Stuffed Fish Roasted with Almonds : Halogen Oven Recipes

Ingredients
100g/3 ½ oz mushrooms
2 tbsp sunflower oil
Large handful of spinach leaves
Small bunch of dill
1 lime
Freshly milled black pepper
Large whole fish, such as sea bass or salmon, gutted, about 900g/200lb
55g/2 oz flaked almonds
Cuisine: Cooking time: 60 mins Serving: 3-4 people

Here’s a delicious halogen oven recipe from Norma Miller.

Her book, containing more than 150 delicious Halogen recipes, entitled “The Halogen Oven Secret”, is available through the Amazon link down the page to the right in our sidebar.

Method

Mushroom, spinach and dill is my choice of stuffing, but try breadcrumbs, fennel and watercress leaves for a change. You will need a large roasting tin which fits in your oven.

1.Remove the lid from the halogen oven, place the low rack inside the oven and replace the lid. Preheat the halogen oven to 200°C (392°F).

2.Prepare the stuffing: finely chop the mushrooms and put into the roasting tray with 1 tbsp of the oil. Put into the hot oven and cook for 6-8 minutes until the mushrooms are beginning to sizzle. Remove from the oven and spoon the mushrooms into a bowl.

3.Thinly shred the spinach leaves and dill. Grate the rind from the lime, cut in half and squeeze out the juice. Stir them all into the bowl or mushrooms and add a little black pepper.

4.Spoon the stuffing into the body cavity of the fish. Carefully lift the fish into the roasting tin. Make three or four diagonal cuts on the side of the fish, drizzle over the remaining oil and scatter over the almonds.

5.Cover and cook in the hot oven for 40-55 minutes until piping hot and cooked through, but start looking to see if it is cooked from 35 minutes onwards. (The time will depend on the thickness of the fish.) Remove the cover for the last 15 minutes.
