Favourite Fruit


Recommended Posts

So hard... depends on the usage.

 

For soft drinks, I'll go for the tender sweetness of passion fruit. Yes, this fruit looks like the insides of a Hutt, but there's a reason for its name....

 

For bakery, I take the avocado. Mash it with some Créme Fraishe, tabasco, pepper, salt, garlic, onion and lemon, and you have a magnificient guacamole. Put it on a ciabatta with lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes and sweet pepper, and you'll experience one of the best sandwiches in the world. The 'Setsuko Special'.

 

For eating as snack? The exotic feel of the kiwi, of course eaten with its skin, is perfect for a hectic soccer match in the park with you, your friends, endless sunshine and a couple of cases of beer.

 

On a cake? Strawberries, of course. Not really a fruit, but you started the usage of berries in this fruity thread, Kiedo! :D

 

 

Oh, and never, EVER underestimate the apple, combined with cinnamon and cardamom in a freshly baked cupcake.

 

 

Fruit is, indeed, nature's candy!

This one, not surprisingly, goes out to Jan Gaarni. If you haven't noticed yet, I do everything to make his life as convenient as possible! :D This time, I'll go way, way over the top, and include a recipe that include not only one, but two fruits and almonds, and it's both chinese and deep-fried, which means that it is fat as h377, which means that it is very yummy!

 

Sweet Won Tons

 

Preparations: 15 minutes

Cooking: 20 minutes

Amount: 30-ish

 

You'll need:

125 g of dates, preferrably fresh, take out the seeds and chop'em real good.

2 bananas. Give them the chopping treatment, too. Slize and dize.

1 1/4 dl (45 g) of almonds, peeled off, somewhat smashed. Yet again, anger management by cooking.

1/2 teaspoon of grinded cinnamon

60 won ton leafs

oil, for deep-frying

icing sugar

 

The Mix-up Conspiracy

Mix the dates, bananas, almonds and cinnamon. Put two teaspoons of this fruit mix in the middle of a won ton leaf, and carefully brush some water on the edges. Put another leaf on the top, but angled, so that the construction is shaped like a eight-edged star. Put it on an oven paper on a baking tray. Continue until your fruit mix is all used up, but be careful not placing the won tons so that they connect, that would mess them up.

 

The Great Deep-Fry Conflict

Heat the oil in a big pot(not that kind!) at medium heat. Put the won tons in it, but not too many at the same time, and deep-fry them for two minutes, until they are críspy and golden. Place them on some kitchen paper, so that they dry. Powder some icing sugar on them, and serve. As Depeche Mode wisely put it: I just can't get enough, *uh*, no I just can't geeet enough!

 

 

PS: why is there like one gazillion of violence-oriented smilies, but none that has to do with fruits, and cooking? Damn you male teenage minds! :D

 

 

[EDIT, and oh, what an edit!]

 

Noticed that neoDios liked mango but had problems to get fresh ones. Here's the solution:

 

Put 400 g of canned mango in a mixer, and make them change name to 'Pulp'. Put it in a bowl and add 1 1/4 dl of sugar and 4 table spoons of mango or apricot nectar. Stir until the sugar can't be seen.

 

Whip 2 1/2 dl of cream in a small bowl. Carefully add it to the mango mix.

 

Put this new mix in a shallow baking form, cover it and put it in the freezer for 1 1/2 hours or until it is half frozen. Quickly put it back in the mixer and mix for 30 seconds, or until it is smooth. Put it in the form again, put a lid on it, and freeze it real good. Now you might have the best mango ice cream in the world.

 

PS: take it out of the freezer 15 minutes before serving. Best served with slivers of mango.

I work with catering in my spare time, and I like to cook. I'm responsible for one café (only on sundays), I've done the catering for Arvika Festivalen (a synth/metal/hiphop/pop/techno festival), and I've done the catering for Hype, a demoparty. So I have a bizarre amount of recipes in my mind, though I actually had to check the won tons up.

 

And yes, this is only the beginning of the calamity that is The Great Recipe Spamming Scandal of 2003! Moahahahahahahahaha!

I say Eggplant.

(eggplants and tomatoes are actually fruits, bot vegetables)

and yet they are sold in the produce section with vegetables

rather than along side fruit. and they are both victums of

Fruitial DIscrimination, because if you ever got, bought

or sent someone a fruit basket tomatoes and eggplants

are never in them ,neither are they in fruit bowls placed

on tables, you get apples and grapes and banana's

but not eggplants or tomatoes. and fruit drinks are never

eggplant or tomato flavoured, hell they put tomatoes in V8

but that is sold as a vegetable drink, and you never get

eggplant pancakes, or you never get tomatoes or eggplants

in a fruit cocktail. (you also do not find cranberries in fruit

cocktail either.)
