Thursday, November 23, 2017

http://schneiderchen.de | © 2017 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com




http://schneiderchen.de | © 2017 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com


This whole roasted chicken seasoned liberally with Indian tandoori masala and fresh herbs turns out crisp, juicy, and absolutely delicious. A perfect meal for feeding family and friends.

  • 1,5 kg Whole chicken, trimmed, washed, dried
  • 30 g Butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 20 Sage leaves
  • 3-4 Rosemary sprigs
  • Salt
  • 1 tbsp Tandoori masala spice mix
  • 2 Red onions, cut into wedges
  • 1 kg Hokkaido pumpkin, chopped
  1. Preheat oven to 200C/400F. Trim and rinse chicken. Pat the chicken dry inside and out with paper towel.
  2. Place the chicken, breast-side up, in a large roasting pan. Tie legs with kitchen string and tuck wings under. Separate the skin by running your fingers between the skin and breast meat very gently. This helps the skin get crisp. Distribute 8 sage leaves and the butter under the skin.
  3. Brush the chicken with olive oil and season with salt and tandoori spice mix. Place the rosemary and sage leaves in the chicken cavity.
  4. Place pan on the lowest oven shelf. Bake chicken for 11/4 hours unil golden brown. After chicken has roasted for 40 minutes, add pumpkins and onion wedges and continue to bake, turning vegetables during cooking until juices run clear when chicken thigh is pierced with a skewer (cover chicken with foil if over-browning).

White Chocolate Dipped Coconut Lime Macaroons

Thursday, October 26, 2017

http://schneiderchen.de | © 2017 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com




Those who love coconut and white chocolate combos will enjoy this erythritol sweetened and gluten-free treat. Lime zest adds a refreshing citrus flavour to the cookie that's complemented by the sweet white chocolate coating. It is super easy to make and takes just a few ingredients.

  • 4 Egg whites, at room temperature
  • 75 g Desiccated coconut
  • 75 g Desiccated coconut, lightly toasted
  • 100 g Erythritol granules
  • 1/2 tbsp Finely grated lime rind
  • 1/4 tsp Vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 150 g White chocolate couverture for dipping, chopped
  1. Preheat oven to 180C/350F. In a large bowl, whisk egg whites until frothy. Add in coconut, erythritol granules, lemon rind, vanilla extract and pinch of salt. Use a rubber spatula to fold the dough together until combined.
  2. Dampen your hands with cold water and form tablespoons of mixture into domes. Bake until golden, about 15-20 minutes. Cool slightly on the baking sheets, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
  3. In a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, melt the chopped white chocolate, removing it from the heat when a few small lumps remain. Stir until smooth.
  4. Working one at a time, dip the bottoms of the macaroons into the white chocolate and place back on the lined sheet pan. Chill in the fridge for 20 minutes until set. Store the macaroons in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 7 days.
