Baklava Recipe:
2 packages (16oz each) fillo dough - thawed according to package directions
4 sticks butter melted
Filling:
4 cups walnuts chopped
1/2 cup sugar
1 dash vanilla
Layer one whole package of fillo dough sheet by sheet with melted butter brushed between each one.
Layer filling mixture over dough.
**Preheat oven to 350F
Layer 2nd package of fillo dough with butter brushed between each layer on top of the filling.
Cut carefully into diamonds BEFORE baking baklava. Cut in diagonals first then cut straight down in even rows to form diamond shape.
Bake at 350 for 45-60 minutes until brown through the top layers to the filling.
Start making the syrup while the baklava is baking.
SYRUP:
3 cups sugar
2 cups water
1 cup light Karo syrup
1 dash vanilla
Cook sugar, water, and Karo syrup until boiling. Then simmer and add a dash of vanilla. Pour over baked baklava.
** Get the biggest pastry natural bristle pastry brush you can find, it'll make brushing the butter between the layers much easier! |

Green Thai Curry Cooked In A Pumpkin -
1 small/medium pumpkin. 1 tbsp sunflower oil, 4 chicken breast fillets (cubed), 1 clove garlic (crushed), 1'' fresh ginger root (peeled and grated), 1 small chilli (green is good - seeds removed - finely chopped), 4 tbsp fresh coriander (finely chopped), Rind (grated) & juice of 1 lime, 1 400ml can of coconut milk (NOT light..), 1/4 pint/150ml chicken stock, 1 green pepper (cored, de-seeded, sliced), 1 medium courgette(sliced)
Remove the top from the pumpkin & scoop out all the seeds - Scoop out some of the flesh - take care not to pierce the skin. (Seeds btw u can shove on a baking tray- drizzle with olive oil and salt - roast for 4 - 6 mins in the oven - great/nutritious snack), Cube the pumpkin flesh u have removed.
Heat an oven to 170c/325f/mk3 - Place the scooped out pumpkin in a tray and cook for 30 mins.
Meanwhile - heat the oil in a large pan, cook the cubed chicken til turning white, add the garlic, ginger, chilli, coriander lime juice & rind. Stir well.
Add the coconut milk & stock - bring to a simmer & season to taste. (salt & pepper for the numb-nuts...lol)
Add the green pepper, courgette & cubed pumpkin.
Pour the mix into the semi-cooked pumpkin - replace the lid and cook for a further 20 - 40 mins (depending on size). The pumpkin should be soft but not collapsing.
I serve it with Jasmine rice...perfect! And as u serve it scoop more of the flesh out as it will have absorbed all the thai flavours.
Enjoy! Edited at: Thursday, October 22, 2009 9:04:32 AM
