Hi my steemian beauts,
Hope you all are having a fab day! Well I have really enjoyed posting my fusion recipes for you recently. My taste buds have been on fire, pass me the extinguiser!! Lol.So what was pamcooks going to explore today.Well I was having a wonderful convo with a fello steemian @happycrazycon we were discussing the humble rosti and the best way to cook it.
A rosti is originally a swiss dish.It primarily consist of potatoes shredded in a fritter style and is traditionally eaten for breakfast.Everyone has their own way and it is eaten all over the world. Well I have my basic version, however for this post I wanted to pimp it up, pamcooks style!
This recipe was slightly risky, hence the title, as it is a new creation for me.I had an idea in my head and with a bit of magic, hey presto came out fab.Here is my recipe to cook 8 medium sized rostis.
Ingredients
4 Potatoes (medium size)
1 Onion (small)
1/4 Red & Green Bell Peppers
1 Carrot
1 TBS Self Raising Flour
1 TBS Gram Flour
1 Egg Yolk
1 TSP Salt
1 TSP Pepper
1 TSP Garam Masala
1 TSP Tumeric
1 TSP Cajun seasoning
1/2 TSP Chili Powder
1 TSP Parsley
1 TBS Olive Oil
1 TBS Butter (Melted)
1 Egg
Method
Step 1.
Wash and peel the potatoes.Now grate them.Ensure you squeeze all the water out.You can do this by putting the grated potatoe in a tea towel, bring the edges together and ring the top to squeeze all the water out.
Step 2.
Wash and cut the red & green peppers into very thin strips.It should be a similar size as the grated potatoes.With a paper towel dab all the excess moisture out of the peppers.
Step 3.
Now wash and peel the carrot cutting off the top and tip.Now grate the carrot.Ensure to squeeze all the juice out the carrot using the tea towel method.
Step 4.
Peel the onion.Cut in thin strips again like the size of the grated potatoe.Using the paper towel method used on the peppers, ensure excess moisture is removed.
Step 5.
In a big bowl place the grated potatoes and carrot.Also add the thin strips of onions and peppers.
Step 6.
Now in the bowl you now need to add the dry ingredients.This includes tumeric, garam masala, cajun seasoning, chilli powder, parsley, gram flour, self raising flour, salt and black pepper.
Step 7.
To bind it all together you need to add the egg yolk with all the other ingredients and mix thoroughly. (The addition of the two flours will also ensure the mixture holds better together, as without it, they will disintegrate.)
Step 8.
Prepare a tray and brush it with cooking oil of your choice.I have used olive oil.I have used my yorkshire pudding trays as they are the perfect size for the rostis.The rosti needs to be separated into 8 equal portions.
Step 9.
Now simply put the individuals portions in the tray.Press down firmly to form a patti.Brush over with the butter, so it crisps up whilst cooking.Place in the oven Gas mark 7 / 218°c for 20 minutes.
Step 10.
After 20 minutes remove the rostis out the oven.You will need to turn them.The rostis are very delicate carefully tease around the edges to eventually lift the whole rosti up with a spatula and turn.Place back in the oven for further 20 minutes.
Step 11.
After the 20 minutes,depending on your oven,the rosti should be now cooked.Make sure its golden brown with crispy edges.
Step 12.
Let the rostis cool down for 3 minutes and serve immediately.
There you have @pamcooks rebellious risky rosti.As you can see they are not the conventional rostis but very tasty.You can make these in advance and they are the ideal picnic treats.I serve mine stacked with a delicate poached egg garnished on top, with a few sliced peppers.My husband was so hungry he was rushing for me to take my foodie pics.lol.By the time I took the last click, he swiped the plate and devoured them like popeye with his spinich.lol.
