How To Of The Day: How To Make Onion Flowers
One way you can serve onions is to turn them into flowers. This easy video tutorial shows you how.
Enjoy!
I suggest you find small red onions for this if you intend on putting them on a plate with other food items. Large onions would dress up a a serving platter quite nicely though.
Found the recipe in a LCBO magazine called “Food and Drink” (LCBO = liquor control board of Ontario). Cut onion in half down to about 1/2 inch of the root end but not through. Cut onions in half again and again crosswise to 1/2 inch of the root. Cut each quarter in half again but not through to the root. There should be 8 wedges attached at the bottom like a flower bud.
Place the onions in a bowl and gently toss with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Season with salt and pepper. Grease a baking dish large enough to hold the onions with plenty of space around them to open up completely.
Cover with foil and bake at 425F for 25 to 30 minutes until onions have opened up and are nearly tender.
Uncover and bake for 10 minutes more, serve with a sprinkling of capers if desired.
Bigfoot Bundt Cake
Enjoy!
Big news! Bigfoot has been found…inside a bundt cake! Jenn Fujikawa over at Nerdist used a Bigfoot cookie cutter to make him appear inside this tasty treat.
Sasquatch. Yeti. Bigfoot. He goes by so many names, yet he’s still an enigma. He could be behind that tree in the woods, or perhaps in the icy mountain of a theme park ride, but most likely you’ll find him… in a bundt cake.
Bigfoot Bundt Cake
(serves 10)Ingredients:
– pre-made chocolate cake
– 3 cups all-purpose flour
– 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
– 2 cups sugar
– 3 eggs
– 1 cup buttermilk
– 1 teaspoon vanillaCut out pieces of the chocolate cake using the Bigfoot cookie cutter. Set aside.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
In a bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar, then add the eggs one at a time until combined.
Alternate the flour mixture with the buttermilk and vanilla just until combined.
Generously grease a bundt pan. Pour a layer of batter along the bottom of the pan, then place the Bigfoot cake pieces upside down, randomly around the cake pan. Carefully pour in the rest of the batter over and around the cake pieces until they are just covered.
Place the filled bundt pan on a baking sheet (in case of spillage) and bake for 1 hour or until a skewer test comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan until the pan is cool to the touch, then turn the cake out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice the cooled cake to reveal the hidden Bigfoots.
How To Of The Day: Boil An Egg Without The Gray Ring
How to Boil an Egg without the gray ring
Directions:
1) Grab your eggs (I’m using large eggs), and a pot. Pretty easy start, right?
2) Put the eggs in the pot and cover them with water, only about an inch overhead.
3) Put them on the stove and turn it on medium high heat.
Now this is where you NEED to pay attention.
4) As SOON as that water starts to boil (and I mean boil, not just a few bubble here and there), turn the stove off.
5) Set the timer for 10 minutes.
6) When the timer goes off, remove the eggs from the pot and put them in cold water. (Sometimes I put them in an ice bath, but I haven’t found that it really matters either way)
7) Let them sit for about 5 minutes and then dig in.
Of course, if you don’t want them right away, just store them in the fridge, but try to use them within a few days as they go bad faster than uncooked eggs.
