greek style pumpkin pie rolls with phyllo
This is a pie i made yesterday. I know it is not a pumpkin season, but i had to clean my freezer, so i found some packets of cooked pumpkin saved since Xmas. I had phyllo in my fridge and all the other ingredients i had in my mind that would be needed to create a pumpkin pie. So, i can say now that this new experiment was a complete success.
Try for yourself and tell me what you think!
These rolls are light with delicate flavor and you can have them as a snack or as a meal anytime.
1 packet of phyllo country style
5 cups of cooked in a non-stick pot pumpkin squares (with a pinch of salt and fresh pepper)
1 egg
5 tbsp greek yoghurt for tzatziki (strained) 2% fat
200 gr feta cheese with less fat (or full fat according to taste, i used feta light)
some melted butter or margarine
grease a big oven pan and preheat oven to 180 C.
in a big bowl add the cooked pumpkin pieces, the egg, feta, and yoghurt with salt and freshly ground pepper.
take 1 phyllo, brush it well with melted butter and put about 3 tbsp of filling and put it in alongside on the smaller length of phyllo.
start rolling till the other side so you form a pipe like tube with filling.
continue the same rolling with the other phylla making sure to brush with the butter the areas that are not greased, placing the the one next to the other.
when all the phylla are rolled and ready brush them with melted butter and put them in the oven.
bake for an hour or so, or till the rolls are golden brown.
enjoy!

homemade caramel pop corn with chocolate
1 cop of corn kernels
2-3 tbsp sugar granulated
2 tbsp olive oil
3-4 tbsp shaved chocolate milk and dark (or chopped thinly)
some butter (about 1 tbsp, optional)
1. In a large saucepan, add the oil, 1 tbsp of sugar and popping corn. Turn the heat to medium, cover the pot with a lid left slightly ajar, and shake once or twice.
2. The corn kernels will begin to pop within a minute or two. Once the popping slows to an almost stop, remove the pot from the heat.
3. Sprinkle them with the rest of the sugar adding little by little, while they are very hot, tossing them constantly, so the sugar gets caramelized. (at that point you can add the butter)
4. Sprinkle them with the chocolate bits, ensuring that they are all covered well by mixing them all together.
homemade pop corn (salty)
for 2
1 cup kernels of corn
1 tbsp olive oil (or corn oil, sunflower oil)
salt to taste
Add the oil, salt and popping corn to the pot. Place the pot over medium heat.
Give the pot a little shake to make sure all of the kernels are coated with oil, and then put a lid on the pot, leaving it slightly ajar so that steam can escape.
Once the popping has slowed to an almost stop (about 5 minutes), turn off the heat.
Add more butter or salt, if preferred.

whole wheat chocolate chip cocoa tahini cookies
i made these cookies for the first time for my students and they were quite a hit! they didn't leave a crumble...after some days time we were about to have a goodbye party in the private foreign language school i teach and i was asked to make them again. again, everyone was asking me for the recipe, so i thought i should post it here. there you go:
milk and cookies |
for about 50 chunky cookies
500 gr whole wheat flour
300 gr unsalted butter
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 large eggs
1 cup slivered almonds (optional)
150 gr milk chocolate
150 gr dark chocolate
200 gr cocoa tahini
3-4 tbsp cocoa powder
preheat oven to 170 C
chop chocolate into chunks.
cream together butter and sugar.
add cocoa tahini.
add baking soda, salt, half the flour and mix well.
add eggs, cocoa powder and vanilla.
add the rest of the flour.
you may need to add some extra flour so the dough is either too sticky nor too hard.
stir in the chocolate chunks.
make balls with your hands and then flatten them a little and put them in a greased flat pan, trying to space them out well because they spread a little while baking.
bake for about 20 minutes.
enjoy!

whole grain salty crackers with a hint of garlic
this is a great recipe i have found browsing cooking sites and today i thought to myself that it was high time to taste them.
they are quite easy, although you have to roll them paper thin so they become crispy and nice.
the recipe called for regular flour but since i prefer whole grain i thought i'd try them the second way.
they are a great party snack, especially accompanied with a nice dip of your choice, or maybe just have them in your kitchen when you crave for something to nibble on.
i have used my pasta maker to roll them thin, i found it less messy and time saving.
if you have a pasta maker, just use the lasagne side and start passing it through the rollers from thick rolling it thin, going from number 9 to number 1 and you are done.
then you place the thin dough on a baking paper or a greased tin, cut them with the pizza cutter and bake them for 10' and you are all set.
there you go:
Salty crackers
2 cups flour (whole grain)
1 tblsp sugar
1 tblsp salt
2 tblsp butter (i used the one with the yoghurt in it)
2/3 cups milk (i used evaporated diluted with water 50-50)
freshly ground pepper (optional)
some sesame seeds
- preheat oven to 425F (180C).
- in a large bowl combine flour, sugar, salt, sesame (and the pepper). add butter and start rubbing it with your fingers working it into the flour till they become one, and there are no butter lumps in the flour.
- stir in milk. continue to knead.
- divide the dough ball in half and then these 2 halves in another 2. (so you end up with 4 balls).
- roll each ball thin with the rolling pin on a floured surface, or use the pasta maker as described above.
- transfer paper thin dough to a greased pan and cut in pieces with the pizza cutter. (you can cut them small 3cm X 3cm or larger like 5-6 cm X 5-6, depends on you)
- bake for 10 minutes. since they are whole grain and already brownish i can't quite say: bake them till golden brown :)
so before i put the crackers to the oven i slightly brush them with some drops of this garlic oil, if you are not a garlic fan you can always skip this step.
enjoy!

πανεύκολη μηλόπιτα με σφολιάτα (very easy apple pie/apple galette)
1 συσκευασία σφολιάτα για πίτες από την οποία θα χρειαστούμε το μισό
2 μήλα μεγάλα
1 φλ. μαύρη ζάχαρη
1 κ.σ. corn flour
1-2 κ.σ. αμύγδαλα φιλέ (προαιρετικά)
2-3 κ.σ. βούτυρο
λίγο κανέλα
λαδώνουμε ή βουτυρώνουμε ένα μικρό ταψάκι κατά προτίμηση κυκλικό.
στρώνουμε το φύλλο σφολιάτας στην βάση.
σε ένα μπολ ανακατεύουμε την ζάχαρη, τα μήλα σε κυβάκια ή λεπτές φέτες, τα αμύγδαλα, το corn flour και την κανέλα και τα βάζουμε πάνω στην σφολιάτα.
από πάνω ρίχνουμε το βούτυρο σε κομματάκια.
κλείνουμε τα 'καπάκια' από το φύλλο που περισσεύει γύρω-γύρω, ενώνοντάς τα με νερό έτσι ούτως ώστε να σχηματιστεί ένα κυκλικό περίγραμμα για να μην μας χυθούν τα υλικά κατά το ψήσιμο.
αν θέλουμε πασπαλίζουμε με λίγο μαύρη ζάχαρη από πάνω.
ψήνουμε στους 180' για περίπου 45' ή ώσπου να ροδοκοκκινίσει.
ταιριάζει τέλεια με παγωτό βανίλια...
enjoy!
1 package puff pastry for pies from which we will need half
2 large apples
1 cup brown sugar
1 tbsp corn flour
1-2 tbsp sliced almonds (optional)
2-3 tbsp butter
some cinnamon
Grease a small baking pan, preferably circular.
Lay the pastry on the base.
in a bowl mix the sugar, the apples (cut into small cubes or thin slices), almonds, corn flour and cinnamon and put on the pastry.
Cut pieces of butter and put them on top of the apple mix.
close the flaps of the pastry, sticking them together with water in order to form a circular outline so the filling won't get spilled during cooking.
if we like, we can sprinkle a little brown sugar on top.
Bake at 180 ' for about 45 minutes or until golden brown.

Μπισκότα με σοκολάτα και ξηρούς καρπούς
Την πρώτη φορά που έκανα την συνταγή απέτυχαν τελείως...Βρήκα την συνταγή μετά από πολύ ψάξιμο στο δίκτυο και είπα να την δοκιμάσω...δεν είχα όσο αλεύρι ζητούσε, έβαλα αλατισμένα φιστίκια (αφού η συνταγή είχε αλάτι έτσι κ αλλιώς σκέφτηκα ότι θα ήταν ωραία αντίθεση με την σοκολάτα, αλλά τελικά έκανα λάθος...) και σαν να μην έφταναν όλα αυτά, αντί για βανίλια είχα στο σπίτι εσάνς πικραμύγδαλου και είπα what the heck ας βάλω λίγο απ' αυτό, αλλά μου έπεσε πολύ τελικά, να μην σας τα πολυλογώ, το αποτέλεσμα ήταν τραγικό...πόσο κρίμα, είχαν πολύ καλές προοπτικές!
Έγιναν αλμυρογλυκά με το πικραμύγδαλο να σε 'ξεκουφαίνει' (παρακολούθησα μια φορά αυτά τα μαγειρο-show και ένας κριτής σχολίασε : "το αλάτι δεν ακούγεται"). Ε λοιπόν δεν το έβαλα κάτω, είπα να τα ξαναδοκιμάσω, γιατί η συνταγή φαινόταν ΠΟΛΥ καλή. Και ΝΑΙΙΙ αυτή την φορά έγιναν συ-γκλο-νι-στι-que!!
Δοκιμάστε τα ASAP (as soon as possible για τους μη-αγγλομαθείς).
Είναι τραγανιστά, νοστιμότατα και θυμίζουν κάτι cookies που αγόραζα από Θεσ/νίκη από τα COOKIES , είχε νομίζω ένα στην Αγίας Σοφίας κοντά...
Anyway η συνταγή έλεγε βούτυρο αλλά δεν είχα και έβαλα ηλιέλαιο, υποθέτω με το βούτυρο θα γίνονται πιο fluffy αλλά μου άρεσε πολύ το αποτέλεσμα, οπότε σας το δίνω όπως τα έκανα εγώ...:)
Ιδού η συνταγή:
2 κούπες αλέυρι για όλες τις χρήσεις
250 γρ. ή 1 κούπα ηλιέλαιο (όποιος θέλει να δοκιμάσει την ίδια ποσότητα με βούτυρο ας το κάνει, να μας πει και σε μας τι βγαίνει τελικά)
1 κούπα ζάχαρη
1 κ.γ. baking soda
1 κ.γ. αλάτι
1 κ.γ. βανίλια ή 2 φιαλιδια
2 μεγάλα αυγά
1 κούπα κομμένα αμύγδαλα ανάλατα, κάσιους, φουντούκια και καρύδια (ανάλατα όλα και όχι πολύ ψιλοκομμένα).
100 γρ. κουβερτούρα γάλακτος
100 γρ. κουβερτούρα
1/2 φλ. του καφέ νερό ή 3-4 κ.σ. νερό
Θερμαίνουμε φούρνο στους 180.
Κόβουμε τις σοκολάτες σε χοντρά κομμάτια (σε μέγεθος φουντουκιού) και ανακατεύουμε σε ένα μπολ με τους ξηρούς καρπούς. Αφήνουμε στην άκρη και πάμε να φτιάξουμε την ζύμη.
Σε ένα άλλο μπολ ανακατεύουμε με το μίξερ το βούτυρο και την ζάχαρη. (Αν βάλετε βούτυρο θα χτυπάτε μέχρι να ομογενοποιηθούν και να γίνουν κρεμώδη, αλλιώς το ηλιέλαιο δεν πρόκειται να γίνει κρεμώδες όσο και να κοπανιέστε, οπότε απλώς χτυπήστε τα για λίγα λεπτά).
Προσθέστε την σόδα, το αλάτι και το αλεύρι και ανακατέψτε.
Προσθέστε τα αυγά και την βανίλια. Το μείγμα έχει γίνει τώρα πιο σφιχτό οπότε συνεχίζουμε να ανακατεύουμε με τα χεράκια μας. Ίσως χρειαστεί να ρίξετε λίγο αλευράκι ακόμα αν σας φαίνεται η ζύμη πολύ αζύμωτη και σας δυσκολεύει, γιατί θρυμματίζεται πολύ-γι' αυτό βάζουμε και λίγο νεράκι, βοηθάει στο να την σφίξει και κάνει τα cookies μας πιο κριτσανιστά (which i love!).
Ζυμώστε τα υλικά καλά, προσθέστε και το νεράκι και τέλος τα ξηροκάρπια και την σοκολάτα.
Πλάστε τα στρογγυλά και πλακέ και βάλτε τα στο ταψί, αφήνοντας αρκετό κενό ανάμεσα, γιατί απλώνουν αρκετά. Δεν χρειάζεται λάδωμα γιατί έχουν ήδη αρκετή λιπαρότητα.
Ψήστε για περίπου μισή ωρίτσα ή ώσπου να γίνουν χρυσοκαστανά
Enjoy!!
Υ.Γ. τα έφτιαξα τις προάλλες με μισό βούτυρο-μισό ηλιέλαιο και καμία σχέση, έγιναν απλά μπισκότα τα οποία θρυμματίζονται εύκολα, νόστιμα, δεν λέω...αλλά ψηφίζω ηλιέλαιο!

Brie με μαρμελάδα βατόμουρο και καρύδια στο φούρνο
Για το μπρι
1φύλλο σφολιάτας κατεψυγμένο
αλεύρι
1 μπρι στρογγυλό ολόκληρο
1 / 2 φλιτζάνι μαρμελάδα μαρμελάδα βατόμουρο
1 φλιτζάνι ολόκληρο καρύδι ψίχα κομμένο στα 2
1 αυγό, χτυπημένο
καστανή ζάχαρη
Σερβίρουμε με crackers,
Με φέτες γαλλικό ψωμί ως spread,
Με μήλα granny smith κομμένα σε φέτες
Σερβίρεται ως ορεκτικό
Ξεπαγώστε σφολιάτας σας.
Ξετυλίξτε το και αφήστε το να καθίσει στον πάγκο για περίπου 30 λεπτά για να αποψυχθεί.
Θα χρειαστείτε ένα κομμάτι για αυτή τη συνταγή.
Προθερμάνετε το φούρνο σας στους 180-200 βαθμούς.
Όταν σφολιάτας σας αποψυχθεί (θα είναι αρκετά μαλακή, ώστε να ξεδιπλωθεί χωρίς ρωγμές) ξετυλίξτε το μπρι σας.
Θα το χρησιμοποιήσετε όπως είναι, άκοπο και ολόκληρο.
Πασπαλίστε λίγο αλεύρι σε μια επιφάνεια. Ξεδιπλώστε το κομμάτι της σφολιάτας.
Με έναν πλάστη πατήστε το λίγο για να εξομαλύνει την επιφάνεια του και να γίνει πιο εύκολο να κολλήσουν οι άκρες αργότερα.
Ελέγξτε τη ζύμη για το μέγεθος.
Βάλτε το brie στη μέση της σφολιάτας.
Βεβαιωθείτε ότι έχετε αρκετή για να το τυλίξει πλήρως.
Αν είναι πολύ μικρό, ανοίξτε την περισσότερο με τον πλάστη.
Εάν το φύλλο της ζύμης είναι μεγαλύτερο από το τυρί, κόψτε λίγο από τις άκρες.
Όταν η ζύμη σας είναι στο σωστό μέγεθος, την μεταφέρουμε σε ένα ταψί το οποίο έχουμε επενδύσει με χαρτί ψησίματος.
Τοποθετούμε το μπρι στο κέντρο της ζύμης.
Βάζουμε την μαρμελάδα πάνω στο μπρι προσέχοντας να καλυφθεί ομοιόμορφα και τέλος τοποθετούμε και τα καρύδια πάνω της.
Διπλώνουμε την ζύμη έτσι ώστε να καλυφθεί τελείως το εσωτερικό.
Δημιουργήστε ένα ωραίο πακετάκι, προσέχοντας μην σχίσετε την ζύμη-δεν πρέπει να έχει καθόλου τρύπες ή σχισμές.
Χτυπήστε ένα αυγό και αλείψτε την ζύμη.
Διακοσμήστε από πάνω με μερικά καρύδια και πασπαλίστε με την καστανή ζάχαρη από πάνω.
Ψήστε το για περίπου 30-40 λεπτά, μέχρι να ροδοκοκκινίσει.
