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.

Here’s a delicious halogen oven recipe from Sarah Flower. Please note: this recipe requires cooking on a hob at the start.

Her book, containing 200 tasty Halogen recipes, entitled “The Everyday Halogen Family Cookbook”, is available through the Amazon link to the right in our sidebar.

Method

Place the flour and paprika in a bowl and season. Rinse the beef, then coat with the flour.

Select your ovenproof/hob-proof casserole dish, making sure it fits in your halogen oven. Place this on the hob and heat a little oil over a medium heat.

Add the beef and cook until browned. Then remove and leave to one side.

Add the onion and garlic and cook until the onion starts to soften. Add the sweet potato and carrot and allow to sweat for a few minutes. Place the beef back in the casserole dish.

Pour on the stout, stirring well. Then add the barley, sugar, bay leaves and thyme. Season to taste.

Cook the casserole on the hob for another 5 minutes, before transferring to the low rack of the halogen oven. Cover with a lid or double layer of tin foil. Set the temperature to 160°C (320°F) and cook for 50 minutes.

Meanwhile, prepare the dumplings by mixing together the flour and suet. Then season and mix in the fresh parsley (if using) and crumbled stilton. Add a little water at a time until you have formed a pliable but not too sticky dough. Form into balls and leave on a floured surface until needed.

Check the casserole after 50 minutes. Add the hot beef stock if needed. Cook again for 10 minutes, before removing the lid and adding the dumplings.

Cook for a further 20-30 minutes until they are light and fluffy. Serve immediately.

Croque Monsieur

Posted by Editorial Staff on Jun – 20 – 2013 under Cookbooks, Halogen Oven, Halogen Oven Recipes, Halogen Recipe, Halogen Recipes, Healthy Recipes, Recipes
Ingredients
6 tbsp finely shredded Swiss cheese, such Gruyère
2 tbsp sour cream or crème fraîche
salt and freshly ground black pepper
½ tsp Worcestershire sauce
½ tsp Dijon mustard
4 slices white sandwich bread, buttered
2 thin slices deli ham
Cuisine: Cooking time: 15 mins Serving: 2 people

Here’s a great 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.

Method

The traditional French ham and cheese sandwich is ideal for cooking in the halogen oven. It will be crisp and golden on the outside and succulent on the inside.

In a small bowl, mix the cheese with enough cream or crème fraîche for it to hold together. Add the seasoning, Worcestershire sauce and mustard, and mix until combined.

Place 2 slices of bread butter-side down on the oven tray. Divide the cheese mixture between them, and spread it right to the edges.

Add the deli ham, cutting it to fit, if necessary. Cover with the other 2 slices of bread, butter-side up, to make 2 sandwiches. Press down lightly.

Place the oven tray on the high rack of the halogen oven and cook at 200°C (400°F) for 3-4 minutes. Turn the sandwiches over and cook for 3-4 minutes more, or until golden brown on the outside and melting on the inside.

Another Way

To make a Croque Madame, add a fried egg to the sandwich just before cooking.

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
Cuisine: Cooking time: 20-25 mins Serving: 6-8 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

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.
