Chicken shawarma

The tower looks amazing but can fall
down in the oven.

This could be called kebab, shawarma etc. I found the recipe on Twisted's vidoes on Facebook. It was quite ok though I would have expected stronger flavours.

You need

1 kg chicken fillets
5 dl Greek yoghurt
1,5 tbsp brown sugar
3 cloves minced garlic
1 tbsp salt
1 tbsp chili
1,5 tbsp cumin
1,5 tbsp oil
Juice of 3 limes

Slice the chicken filets half horisontally. Mix all the ingredients to yoghurt and place the sliced chicken fillets to the yoghurt and let it marinate over night.

I used a normal chop stick where I put the meat.

Preheat the oven to 200 ºC. Place the half of a red onion on a pan and put a stick in it (I used normal chop stick). Pile the chicken fillets on top of the onion continuing until all the chicken is piled. According to Twisted you should skewer them in cross shape in order to prevent the whole thing to fall. This did not help me since the onion gets soft and mine  Finally put a half a lemon on top.

Bake in the oven for an hour with peppers and
red onions.

Have some cut peppers and onion around the tower. Bake in the oven for one hour.

Serve as fajitas.

Good meat for fajitas.

Taste was good but could be stronger in
flavours and maybe juicier.

Grilled fruits with chocolate

Grill for 5 minutes. Try also with white
chocolate.

This recipe is actually called Gino but it should be with white chocolate. Accidently I bought dark chocolate so I am not sure whether I can call this gino but the taste was really good.

For 2-3 people you need

2 bananas
2 kiwis
1 orange
grapes
200 g chocolate

Pre-heat the oven with the grill function to 250 ºC. Slice the fruits and place on an oven pan. Put the crashed chocolate on the fruits and grill it for 5 minutes.

Serve with vanilla ice cream.

Naan bread

I have started to make more and more Indian dishes like in my previous posts you may find the butter chicken and dahl. This naan bread recipe is a perfect match to butter chicken or even dahl. The bread pieces taste so good when dipped in to the butter chicken sauce for instance.

The recipe makes 2 large naan breads:

1,5 dl warm milk (37 ºC)
2 tbsp sugar
25 g yeast
9 dl flour
0,5 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
2 tbsp oil
1,5 dl natural yoghurt
1 egg
a bit of clarified butter (ghee)

Mix the yeast with milk and sugar. Leave the milk for 15 minutes until bubbles appear.

Mix in another bowl flour, baking powder and salt. Add to the milk. Add also oil, yoghurt and egg. Mix it to smooth dough. Put a plastic foil on the dough and let it double its size during one hour.

Preheat the over more than 250 ºC. Put the oven sheet to the oven to be pre-heated.

Divide the dough to two or more balls and bake the balls to flat tear shaped breads.

Place the breads to pre-heated oven sheet and bake in oven for 3 mintues.

After you have taken the breads out from the oven brush them with ghee.

You may also add minced garlic or chilantro to the dough for vary the taste.

Pancakes with spinach

Cook on a pan on both sides.

I don't if this is very Finnish or if other countries eat this as well but pancakes with spinach are so good.

Recipe:

150 g frosen spinach
8 dl milk
4 dl flour
2 eggs
oil
salt

Thaw the frozen spinach and mix it with all the ingredients. Let the batter to stand for minimum 15 minutes so that the flour can swell. Add some oil to the batter so you do not need that much when cooking the pancakes.

Cook normally like any other pancakes on both sides.

Yummy!
