175g/6 oz self-raising flour
1 tsp baking powder
2 medium eggs
60g/2 ¼ oz ground almonds

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.

Spanish Tortilla : Halogen Oven Recipes

Posted by darko 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.

Halogen Oven Bread Recipe!

Posted by Editorial Staff on Apr – 4 – 2013 under Halogen Oven, Halogen Oven Recipes, Halogen Recipe, Halogen Recipes, Healthy Recipes, Recipes
Ingredients
15 g (1/2 oz) fresh yeast
250 – 300 ml (9 – 10 fl oz) tepid milk
1 tsp caster sugar
450 g (1 lb) strong plain flour
1 tsp salt
50 g (2 oz) butter
Cuisine: Cooking time: 90 mins Serving: 4 people

Method

Crusty bread rolls Halogen recipe

1. Blend the yeast with 150 ml (5 fl oz) of the milk and sugar. Sift flour and salt, add butter, and rub into flour.

2. Stir in yeast mixture and sufficient milk to make fairly soft dough.

3. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead thoroughly for 10 mins until dough is firm, elastic and no longer sticky. Place in a large bowl, cover with a clean tea towel and leave to rise in a warm place until doubled in size (1 – 2 hrs).

4. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead well for 2 – 3 mins. Divide into 12 equal pieces and shape into rolls.

5. Place the rolls on greased baking sheets (can just cover the rack with foil – shiny side up), spacing them well apart. Cover with tea towel and leave to prove until doubled in size. Cut slits in the top of each roll.

6. Bake for 30 mins at 225°C (437°F) on lower rack in Halogen Oven and keep watch on them until well risen and golden. If they brown too quickly, turn temperature down to 210°C (410°F) and bake for the rest of the time. Check they are not soft underneath, if so bake for 5 – 10 mins more.

Serve and enjoy. They’re delicious with butter, jam or a spread of your choosing, or accompanying soup, etc.
