random recipes #42 round-up – bloggers scream for ice cream

30 August 2014 by Dominic Franks

… I know.  I know.  I’ve been pushing you an awful lot lately but the whole point of random recipes is to take us out of our comfort zones and make us more aware of all the incredible recipes hidden within those cookbooks we cherish.  This month was all about ice cream and frozen desserts.  It’s a tough one at the best of times so I hugely appreciate those that found the time between holidays, this lousy autumnal weather and getting the kids back to school in one piece to make an entry.  I hope you’re all still enjoying the challenge and I promise that next month I will take it easier on you, just a little bit…

… so here are your wonderful entries…
let’s start with my blog sister Kavey from Kavey Eats and her White Chocolate Vanilla Ice Cream randomly selected (after 2 selection fails) from Divine Heavenly Chocolate Recipes with a Heart by Linda Collister

next up is secret bed-reading Craig from The Usual Saucepans and this rather naughty looking Caramel Ice Cream Chocolate Crispy Cake randomly selected from Kitchen Hero by Donal Skehan

dear sweet Choclette from the Chocolate Log Blog came up trumps with this very tempting Chocolate Lavender Parfait randomly selected from Ultimate – The Green and Blacks New Collection which she selected very cleverly via Eat Your Books

here’s Alicia from Foodycat and a very stylish Glace a l’abricot that was randomly selected from French Provincial Cooking by Elizabeth David… we’re lucky she didn’t go for her first random selection of Iced Ham Mousse!

next up is little old me from Belleau Kitchen with this bloody gorgeous Salted Caramel Custard Ice Cream taken from a recipe found randomly in Dessert Island Dishes by Maldon

here the gluten-free entry from Kate the Gluten Free Alchemist with a wonderful no churn Rhubarb Ice Cream randomly selected from The Baking Beauties

you may have to sit down for this next one as it’s an actual successful entry from Jane from Onions and Paper with a glorious sounding G&T Slush Puppy taken from the BBC’s Good Food – Food That Does You Good

next along the ice-cream wagon is Laura from Law Students Cook Book and a delightful Strawberry Ice Cream taken from the kings of all things frozen Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream and Dessert Book

next up is Corina from the brilliant Searching for Spice and a mistake ice cream that turned into a miraculous Chocolate Ice Cream Mousse, randomly selected from Eggs by Michel Roux

and finally this month it’s the always gorgeous Karen from Lavender and Lovage and an extremely tempting Hot Fudge Sundae randomly selected from Delia Smith’s Summer Collection… she also has an amazing ice-cream maker giveaway on her blog, so I would pop over there and name your favourite flavour!

and that my friends, is that… as always, we appreciate your glorious entries so do play along next month if you can, I promise you an easy ride in September…

Tomato, Feta and Strawberry Salad with my Slightly Tomato, Feta and Strawberry Salad with my Slightly Pickled Pink Onions

I wanted to share the pics of this salad the moment I made it cos it’s just so vibrant and summery. 

The real star of the show are the amazing slightly pickled pink onions… but… (and I hate to be a tease) you’ll have to wait till next week for the recipe!

Apricot & Strawberry Frangipani Pudding (recipe be Apricot & Strawberry Frangipani Pudding (recipe below)

This pudding is like a bowlful of summer. It’s light and fruity and sweet and so easy to put together.  I think it’s also quite unexpected to serve a pudding when fresh fruit is in abundance and a simple fruit salad would suffice but that’s what I adore about this.  Plus, this pudding makes very good use of those punnet’s of strawberries that look great in the supermarket but in fact taste all spongy and gloopy when you get them home.

Here’s the #recipe:

🍓 200g butter
🍓 200g golden caster sugar
🍓 3 large free-range eggs
🍓 200g ground almonds
🍓 100g strawberries – quartered
🍓 4 apricots – sliced into wedges
🍓 the finely grated zest and juice of half a lemon
🍓 2 tablespoons @fage_uk Greek Yoghurt
🍓 1 teaspoon @little_pod Vanilla Bean Paste

I greased a 20cm fluted ceramic pie dish and pre-heated the oven to 160C

beat the sugar and butter together in a large bowl until light and creamy… a stand mixer will do this in 4 minutes, a hand held electric whisk will do it in 6 minutes and a wooden spoon will do it in 8 minutes.

add the eggs and 1 tablespoon of ground almonds and beat in, then add the rest of the ground almonds and gently beat in, followed by the Greek Yoghurt, lemon zest and juice, vanilla and half the strawberries and beat in – the strawberries will become mush – which is exactly what you want.

lay half the remaining fruit into the bottom of your dish and cover with the frangipane batter, then scatter the remaining fruit on top

bake for 45 mins or until darkly golden brown, then remove from the oven and let it cool to set

Potato Kugel Traybake with Poached Eggs and Mushro Potato Kugel Traybake with Poached Eggs and Mushrooms

Is there anything more ‘Sunday Brunch’ than a crispy rosti with a delicately fragile poached egg on top? This Traybake rosti is a twist on a Jewish potato cake made with potatoes, carrots and onion. It’s amazing and really does make the perfect brunch. 

What are you having for brunch today?

for the kugel:
🍳 5 medium potatoes
🍳 2 large onions
🍳 2 large carrots – roughly grated
🍳 2 eggs – beaten
🍳 2 tablespoons flour
🍳 salt and pepper
🍳 a large handful of fresh rosemary
🍳 2 tablespoons of olive oil

for the poached eggs:
🥚 2 eggs per person
🥚 water
🥚 salt
🥚 a ramekin or similar

pre-heat the oven to 180C and butter your baking tin… i’m using an oblong swiss roll tin but any metal pan will do, a quiche or tarte tin is good.  Earthenware will work too but there’s something about the metal tin that makes it more ‘roasty’

Cut the potatoes and carrots into large chunks and par-boil till just beginning to yeald, drain and place in the fridge for one hour.  I usually do mine the night before.

Once the potatoes and carrots are cold, grate them and add them with the rest if the ingredients to a large bowl and mix together well.

Tip into your cake tin or roasting tray and roast in the oven on 190C till golden and grisp around the edges, roughly 40 mins

To make the poached eggs I prefer to use my large shallow cast-iron casserole dish.  There’s something about the cast-iron that holds the heat and cooks them evenly.  Fill the pan with water and heat it till it’s rapidly boiling, then turn down the heat until it is just steaming. 

Once it’s steadily hot with no bubbles lower the eggs into the hot water and leave them alone at this exact heat.  They should take about 5 minutes to become perfect with soft yolks but feel free to go until you like them.
