Posted by darko 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.

Ingredients
3-4 cloves garlic, crushed
½ teaspoon chopped chillies
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
Seasoning
2-3 tablespoons olive oil
1 leg of lamb
2 sweet potatoes
6-8 potatoes
2-3 teaspoons paprika
2-3 teaspoons semolina
Olive oil spray

Cuisine: Cooking time: 60 mins Serving: 4-6 people

Here’s a delicious halogen recipe from Sarah Flower.

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. Please note: this recipe requires cooking on a hob at the start.

Method

Mix together the garlic, chilli, rosemary, seasoning and olive oil to form a paste. Rub this over the leg of lamb. You can score the flesh first to help give the paste something to hold on to.

Place on the lower rack and cook for 15 minutes at 230°C (446°F).

Meanwhile, cut the potatoes to size and steam or parboil for 10 minutes. Drain and return to the empty saucepan. Add the paprika and semolina. Pop the lid back on the saucepan and shake to fluff up and coat the vegetables.

Place the potatoes around the lamb. Spray with olive oil. Halve the onions and place them with the vegetables, along with the rosemary sprigs.

Cook for another 10 minutes before turning down to 190°C (374°F) and cooking for 30 – 45 minutes or until both the meat and potatoes are cooked to your satisfaction.

The cooking time for lamb depends on the size of the joint. Remember to turn the lamb and vegetables regularly and add a spray of oil or paste as required.

Serve with homemade gravy.

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.

Hot Cross Buns: a Halogen Easter Special!

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

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.
