QUICHES & PIES

HOW TO MAKE A QUICHE BASE

1 Roll out the chilled shortcrust pastry onto a floured surface. Grease a 23 cm loose bottomed fluted flan quiche tin with melted butter or non-stick spray.

2 Line the quiche tin with the pastry. Press the pastry against the fluted edge. Ensure the pastry edges are slightly higher than the rim as pastry tends to shrink during baking.

3 Lightly prick the base with a fork. Place baking paper over the pastry and fill with baking beans.

4 Blind bake at 200°C for ± 15 minutes. Remove beans and baking paper and continue baking for ± 4 - 5 minutes or until pastry is golden.

5 Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Fill with a prepared filling. Reduce the oven temperature to 180°C and bake for ± 40 - 50 minutes or until set.

HOW TO MAKE A SAUSAGE ROLL

1 Unroll a 400 g pastry sheet and cut in half lengthways. Pipe the sausage roll filling along the length of each pastry strip, leaving a 1 cm edge.

2 Mix together egg and milk to create an egg wash. Brush the egg wash along the length of the pastry.

3 Roll the pastry over the sausage roll filling to form a sausage roll. Ensure the edges are sealed closed.

4 Cut the sausage rolls into ± 16 cm lengths and egg wash the top of the pastry. Place on a greased/ lined baking tray.

5 Bake at 180°C for ± 20 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.

HOW TO MAKE COCKTAIL CHEESE PUFFS/COCKTAIL SAUSAGE ROLLS

1 Unroll a 400 g pastry sheet and cut in half lengthways. Pipe the cheese puff/sausage roll filling along the centre of each pastry strip.

2 Mix together egg and milk to create an egg wash. Brush the egg wash along one length of the pastry.

3 Fold the pastry over the filling to enclose. Use the back of a fork to seal the pastry along the join to ensure that it is tightly sealed. Brush the top of the pastry with egg wash.

4 Use a sharp knife to cut each cheese puff/ sausage roll into ± 3 cm long lengths. Freeze cheese puffs for a minimum of 2 hours.

5 Place on a greased/ lined baking tray. Bake at 180°C for ± 20 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.

QUICHES

1. SHORT CRUST PASTRY Yield: ± 700 g 500 g (3 ¹/3 cups) 5 g (1 tsp) 250 g (1 cup) 80 mℓ (¹/3 cup)

Cake flour Salt Butter, room temperature, cubed Water, cold

Method:

1 Mix the flour with the salt in a mixing bowl. 2 Cut the butter into the flour with a knife until evenly blended. Rub the butter into the flour gently using fingertips, working quickly, until it resembles fine breadcrumbs. 3 Add the water very slowly a tablespoon at a time. Mix the water into the flour mixture using fingertips until the dough starts to come together. Continue to add the water very slowly until all the mixture is in one ball and resembles a soft dough. DO NOT ADD ALL THE WATER AT ONCE, AS NOT ALL MAY BE NEEDED. 4 Wrap the pastry in plastic wrap and leave in the refrigerator for a minimum of 30 minutes. 5 Preheat an oven to 180°C. 6 Remove the pastry from the fridge and roll the pastry out on a lightly floured surface using a rolling pin. Re-dust the surface and the rolling pin with additional flour if the pastry begins to stick. 7 Roll out into the desired shape to ± 3 - 5 mm thick. Gently transfer the pastry to an insert or baking dish, push in the sides/corners, neaten the edges and prick the base with a fork ± 10 - 12 times. 8 Place a piece of baking paper over the pastry and fill with baking beans. Bake in the oven for ± 15 minutes. Remove the baking paper and beans after ± 10 minutes of baking. Return the pastry to the oven uncovered for the last ± 5 minutes for a golden crust. 9 Remove from the oven and leave to cool slightly before adding the filling.

FISH & SEAFOOD

HOW TO TELL IF THE FISH IS FRESH • • •

Whole fish should have a metallic shine and bright, clear eyes with red gills. Fresh fish should smell like salt water and should have no bad or pungent odour. The flesh should be resilient to touch. An indentation when pressed should disappear when released.

Unsustainable fishing has left fish stocks in the sea dangerously low. To ensure fish for the future we need to choose fish and seafood wisely. Visit www.wwf.org.za/ sassi or download the free SASSI app to check that you are making the best possible choices.

GAME MEAT

Game meat typically refers to wild animals that are hunted and not reared on a farm. The most popular in South Africa are: Springbok, Ostrich, Wildebeest, Eland, Impala, Kudu, Blesbuck and Warthog. How does Game Meat differ from other meat? • Lower in fat and cholesterol • Richer taste with more intense flavour • No added antibiotics or hormones

Cooking with Game Meat: Game meat is easier to overcook and can be slightly tough, so use recipes that promote tenderness: • Moist heat methods • Lower temperatures • Longer cooking times (excluding prime steak cuts) Combining game meat and farmed-raised meat works well. The flavour is less intense and the end meal will be leaner without being dry.

Low-carb vegetables include: broccoli, bell peppers, cauliflower, celery, cucumber, lettuce, green beans, onions, cabbage, mushrooms, spinach and tomatoes.

LIMIT HIGH-CARB INGREDIENTS The human body requires carbohydrates to function properly, but reducing high-carb foods can result in reduced excess energy intake. High-carb foods include: bread, cereals, rice, pasta, grains, potatoes, corn, peas, legumes, fruit, juices, sweets, desserts, honey, syrups and sugar.

DESSERTS

Pancakes • • •

Flavoured Jelly Powders •

•

The jelly powder sachet must be shaken before use and the whole sachet should be used at once. This ensures the correct setting of the gelatine. All the sugar and gelatine crystals in the jelly powder must completely dissolve in the boiled water before adding the cold water, otherwise the jelly will form a hard layer on the bottom of the container.

• • •

Sift the Master Sweet Batter R/P before using it in the recipe. Make sure the pan is clean and lightly greased with oil or non-stick spray. If using non-stick spray, spray in between every 1 or 2 pancakes/flapjacks to prevent sticking. Do not pour too much batter into the pan otherwise the pancake/flapjack won’t cook through properly and will be thick and doughy. Make sure the one side is properly cooked and slightly golden brown before lifting the edge and flipping over. If not, the pancake will break. Use a non-stick pan for best results.

Custard •

•

Make a paste with the custard powder and a little milk to prevent lumping, then whisk into simmering milk. As soon as the custard thickens, remove from the heat. No need to boil the custard. When making set custard, the hot mixture should be used immediately to prevent lumping once set.

Instant Custard • •

Whisk the mixture until the custard has thickened. A hand whisk is sufficient. Custard can be heated after mixing and cooled after heating without a change in consistency.

Flavoured Mousse • • •

The full 500 g sachet should be used to ensure the correct whipping aeration and texture. Ambient or chilled milk may be used. Whisk until soft peaks hold their shape, otherwise the layered desserts will be soft. A hand whisk is sufficient.
