Easy Vegetable Soup with a Difference

Posted by Editorial Staff on Mar – 26 – 2013 under Halogen Oven, Halogen Oven Recipes, Halogen Recipe, Halogen Recipes, Healthy Recipes, Recipes
Ingredients
1 tbsp of either butter or olive oil
1 leek
1 large potato
1 stick of celery
2 large carrots
1 garlic clove (crushed)

1 tbsp parsley (fresh) or 1/2 that amount (if dried)
1 ½ pts/852ml of chicken stock (or water and stock cubes)
1 tsp curry powder (secret ingredient)
Seasoning
Cuisine: Cooking time: 50 mins Serving: 4 people

Here’s a tasty vegetable soup recipe for your halogen oven. Please note: this recipe requires cooking on a hob at the start.

Method

Roughly chop up all the vegetables, keeping the chopped leek separate…

On the hob heat the oil/butter in a casserole dish that fits in your halogen oven and then gently fry the leek for 3 or 4 minutes. Once it is starting to soften, add the rest of the vegetables.

Preheat the halogen oven to 220°C (425°F) and place the dish on the high rack, cooking for 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent any burning.

Add the water or stock and curry powder, cover with a lid or secured double-tin foil, bring to the boil and then simmer at 200°C (392°F) for 30-40 minutes until everything is cooked and soft.

Let the soup cool a little and then liquidise with a hand blender or liquidiser. At this point, taste the soup and then add salt & pepper to your taste.

If the soup is too thick, thin it down with either a little more stock or milk.

If it is too thin, add a little instant potato until you are happy with it.

Serve with crusty bread or a naan.

Enjoy

Hot Cross Buns: a Halogen Easter Special!

Posted by Editorial Staff on Mar – 27 – 2013 under Easter halogen oven recipes, Easter halogen recipes, Halogen Oven, Halogen Oven Recipes, Halogen Recipe, Halogen Recipes, Healthy Recipes, Recipes
Ingredients
1lb/16oz flour
1 tsp salt
1 level tsp mixed spice (or less)
0.12lb/2oz butter
0.12lb/2oz currants
0.06lb/1oz yeast
0.09lb/1.5oz sugar
0.5 pint/10 uk fl oz milk (about)
Cuisine: Cooking time: 25 mins Serving: 6-8 people

Here’s a fun traditional recipe for Easter with family and friends.

Method

Sift together the flour, salt and spice. Rub in the butter and then add the currants.

Warm the mixture. Cream the yeast and the sugar together and add the warm milk; leave to sponge for about 10 minutes.

Mix the flour etc. with the yeast and milk to form a light dough. Beat well and leave in a warm place to rise until the dough has doubled its bulk. Turn onto a floured surface and knead well and then divide into 12 pieces. Make into buns then flatten and mark with a cross.

Stand on a floured baking tray in a warm place to prove for about 20 minutes. Bake in the halogen oven for 20 minutes at 180°C (356°F). When cooked, brush with a glaze made by dissolving a little sugar in water.

Use a mixer with a dough hook; it works very well. Put 6 or as many as fit in the halogen oven on the higher rack and 6 on the lower. Use the extender ring if the ones on the top brown too quickly.

Swap them round after 10 minutes but turn them over on their rack and cook for about another 6-8 minutes, again swapping those on the top with those on the bottom.

Serve and enjoy

Spanish Tortilla

Posted by Editorial Staff on May – 16 – 2013 under Halogen Oven, Halogen Oven Recipes, Halogen Recipe, Halogen Recipes, Healthy Recipes, Recipes
Ingredients
1 large potato, peeled and cut into small cubes
½ onion, sliced
1 tbsp butter
1 tbsp olive oil
4 medium eggs
1 tbsp milk
1 tbsp water
salt and freshly ground black pepper
Cuisine: Cooking time: 25 mins Serving: 4-6 people

Here’s a tasty halogen recipe from Paul Brodel & Carol Beckerman.

Their book, containing more than 100 delicious Halogen recipes, entitled “The Halogen Oven Cookbook”, is available through the Amazon link down the page to the right in our sidebar. Please note: this recipe requires cooking on a hob at the start.

Method

This is a basic Spanish tortilla, but feel free to add some different ingredients, such as peas, chopped red pepper, ham, chorizo, fresh tomato or cheese.

In a medium saucepan, boil the cubed potato for 6 minutes in boiling water, then drain and set aside.

Place a cup of boiling water into the base/glass bowl of the halogen oven. This helps to slow down the browning process.

Place the sliced onion on the round oven tray with the butter and oil.

Cook on the low rack in the halogen oven at 260°C (500°F) for 6 minutes. Add the potatoes, mix well and cook for 5 minutes more.

In a small bowl, mix the eggs with the milk, water, salt and pepper. Pour the egg mixture over the potatoes. Lower the heat in the halogen oven to 150°C (300°F) and cook for 12 minutes. Slice and serve hot or cold.
