Croquettes With Plantain Pumpkin Seed Mozzarella And Pancetta Recipe By Tasty Recipes

CROQUETTES WITH PLANTAIN, PUMPKIN SEED, MOZZARELLA AND PANCETTA RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Boil the potato in one pot until completely soft/cooked through. Whilst the potato is boiling, boil the plantain pieces (skin on) in another pot until very soft (slightly overcooked). The plantain will become more yellow and begin to push out of the skins.
• Mash together the potato and plantain thoroughly in a bowl. Mix in the plain flour, then leave the mix to cool.
• Once cooled, take about a tablespoon of the mix and use your hands to roll it into a ball around 3.5-4 inches wide (adding or removing some of the mix as necessary).
• Use your finger or the end of a spoon or fork, to create a deep hole in the ball (around three quarters way through the ball) for the filling, making sure not to poke all the way through. Carefully stuff the hole with either pancetta or mozzarella.
• Take a little more of the mix to create a small 'lid' to cover the hole, then use your hands to carefully roll the ball again to re-shape it as necessary.
• Repeat to create around 8 pancetta balls, and 8 mozzarella balls.
• Use a spoon on your hands to cover each ball completely in the beaten egg, and then in the breadcrumb and pumpkin seed mix. Do this twice for each ball to ensure it is sufficiently coated.
• Set out the croquettes on a plate or tray ready to fry and heat the oil over a medium-high heat in a large frying pan.
• Test the oil is ready with one croquette first: it should begin to sizzle and fry immediately. If the croquette browns/blackens almost immediately, reduce the heat.
• Shallow fry the croquettes until they are a deep golden brown, rotating as necessary. Quickly and carefully remove the croquettes once browned with a spatula or tongs to avoid burning and set aside on a plate lined with kitchen towel (to help drain any excess oil).
• For the suya mayo, mix together the Japanese mayonnaise and suya spice thoroughly.
• Enjoy the croquettes very warm with the suya mayo as a dip.

CROQUETTE MOZZARELLA STICKS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Add the potatoes to a large pot with enough cold water to cover them. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until tender when pierced with a fork, about 30 minutes.
• Drain the potatoes and transfer to a large bowl. Use a potato masher to mash the potatoes until there are no large chunks left.

• Heat the oil in a large pot until it reaches 350°F (180°C). Fry the croquettes for 3 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Transfer the croquettes to a wire rack set over paper towels to drain the excess oil.

VEGAN DOUGHNUTS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Gently melt the butter over a low-medium heat. Add milk and 2 tablespoons of sunflower oil and mix together.
• Once combined, take off the heat and set aside.
• In a separate bowl, combine the flour, half of the sugar, baking powder and salt with a fork.
• Make a well in the center and pour in the butter mixture. Combine gradually until a thick dough forms.
• Using your hands, roll dough into little flat balls and with your thumb, press a hole in the center of each doughnut. (You may need to flour your hands for this part to avoid getting sticky!)
• Heat up oil in a pan. To know when it's hot enough, fry a little bit of bread in the oil. If it goes brown and floats to the top, in 45-50 seconds the oil will be ready!
• Gently lay the doughnuts into the oil using a spatula. Fry for about 3-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
• Transfer the doughnuts onto some tissue paper to soak up any excess oil.
• Roll the doughnut into a bowl of the remaining half of sugar.
• Enjoy!

NET PANCAKES (ROTI JALA) RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, water, coconut milk, eggs, salt, and turmeric until smooth. (If any clumps remain, run mixture through a sieve.)
• Using a sharp-pointed knife (a corkscrew or nail works just as well), poke three holes in the cap of a plastic water bottle.
• Fill the bottle with your pancake batter.
• Heat a very lightly greased nonstick skillet over medium heat. Working quickly, invert the water bottle and drizzle the batter in quick circular motions forming a netlike pattern.
• Allow the pancake to cook for one to two minutes. Do not flip and watch closely so it doesn't burn.
• Remove from pan, fold in the sides, and roll up. Serve with curry.

CHEESE-STUFFED TATER TOTS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Combine thawed hash browns, flour, salt, pepper, and eggs in a bowl.
• Take a piece of cheese and wrap a palmful of the mixture around it, shaping it into a tot (you may have to squeeze out some excess moisture to make it nice and tight).
• Fill a large, deep skillet halfway with oil and heat over medium. When the oil is hot, drop in some tots, turning them along the way until they're crispy and golden brown. Let cool a bit.

CHEESE SHELL TACOS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
• Freshly shred the cheese. Place your cheese in neat piles on an ungreased baking sheet.
• Bake for about 8 minutes, until all the individual shreds melt into one disc. Be careful not to let the cheese color too much.
• Once they are all melted, let them cool for 2 minutes on your baking sheet, then lift them onto paper towels to blot off any excess grease.
• To form the shells, lay them over a propped up utensil. (Or you can use anything in your kitchen, a wide bowl or saucepan could work too!) Set these aside to cool.
• To make the taco filling, brown the ground beef on high heat. Make a well in the center, add in the onion, jalapeños, garlic, and sprinkle in the taco seasoning packet. Stir to combine. Add water if you need it for a nice saucy filling.
• Use a fork to hold your cheese shell in place and fill with the beef mixture, and toppings of your choice.
• Enjoy!

CHEESY JALAPEñO CORN DOGS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Place a hot dog on a slice of cheese, then roll the cheese slice around it. Push a wooden skewer through the cheese-wrapped hot dog, then place seam side down on a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining hot dogs. Freeze for 20 minutes.
• In a large bowl, add the dry ingredients and stir to combine. Once fully combined, mix in the milk, egg, and jalapeño. Stir until the batter is smooth and without lumps. You may need to add 1 or 2 tablespoon of flour; the batter should be thick enough to cling to the hot dog. Pour it into a tall glass for easier dipping.
• Heat the oil in a large pot until it reaches 350°F (180°C).
• Holding the tip of the skewer, take a frozen hot dog and dip it fully into the batter, lifting it out, then rotating it to let excess batter drip off. Using tongs, carefully place the battered dog into the hot oil. Hold it fully submerged for 30-60 seconds until a crust forms, then rotate it so that it fries evenly. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining hot dogs. Serve with mustard for dipping.
• Enjoy!
