Stuffed chicken thighs with roasted apples



Even during the hard workdays we deserve some treats, today this manifested it self as stuffed chicken legs for lunch. This autumn break inspires me to put apples in everything I make, and besides apples can make a perfect substitue for potatoes as garnish. I wouldnt call it a light meal , because the stuffing contains bread and mozzarella cheese, but the apples might give it a lighter essence.

Ingredients:
The amount of the ingredients is up to you to decide, depending on how much bread you want to use and how many chicken legs you have, etc.

For the stuffing:
  • dry bread
  • onion
  • mozzarella cheese
  • lemon zest
  •  lemon juice
  • walnuts
  • rosemary 
  • 1 egg
  • salt, pepper


First of all soak the dry bread in water. Chop the onion fine, and fry it in a bit of oil. Put it in a dish and add the lemon zest and the finely chopped mozzarella. Chop the rosemary fine too, and add it to the mixture. Squeeze the water out of the bread and add this too. Add the lemon juice, salt and pepper and mix it thoroughly, dont leave big bits of bread stuck together. Taste it, if its all right, then add the egg(s) and mix it again.


The apples:

Cut the apples in halves, get the cores out and put them into a pan, on a bit of oil. Put the rosemary on the top of the apples, sprinkle some salt and pepper on them, and cover it tin foil.

  

All you need to do now is to sprinkle salt on the chicken legs on both sides, and get the stuffing under the skin. Cover them with tin foil and get it done in the oven at 180 deg Celsius in 45 minutes. When its done, remove the cover and let it become golden on the top. The apple only needs 20-25 minutes at the same temperature.

A simple double crust apple pie

It's a quick and very autumny double crust apple pie with little sugar combined with sweetener and full wheat flour considering the number of family members who have diabetes. The dough is extremely easy to make and you only have to let it cool in the fridge for half an hour, then you can easily roll it. A thin layer of crust and lots of apple, this makes the perfect apple pie.




Ingredients:

The crust
  • 10 dkg of full wheat flour
  • 10 dkg of normal flour
  • 4 teaspoons of sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of baking powder
  • 10 dkg of cold butter
  • cold water
  • ground cloves and cinnamon
  • 1 egg
The apple filling
  • at least 8 sourish apples
  • the zest of 1 lime
  • the juice of half a lime
  • sweetener
  • ground cinnamon
First of all make the crust. Measure the two types of flour, add the baking powder, the cloves and the cinnamon and the zest of lime. Mix it. Dice the butter and add it to the flour. Make a crumble with the butter and the flour and when it's done, add a bit of the cold water and start to knead. If needed, add some more water. It has to be a non sticky and flexible dough. Put it in the fridge for until the filling is being made. 

Peel the apples (which is almost every other time is unnecessary), cut the core out and slice them fine. Start cooking them in a pan and add the juice of the lime, the cinnamon and the sweetener. It takes about 10 minutes, depending on the type of the apples, to be done, you can put a lid on it too while cooking. When it's done, let it cool a bit. 

Get the pastry out of the fridge and roll it on a surface that has been sprinkled with flour before. Put it into your previously buttered dish and cut the surplus off at the edges. Knead these parts into a new ball again and roll it. With a beaten egg brush the edges of the pastry and lay the other layer of crust on it. Smooth the edges with a fork and brush the top of the pie with the rest of the beaten egg. Make a slash in the middle of the pie so that the steam can leave, and sprinkle with almond chips. Put it in the oven at 180 degrees Celsius until golden. It's perfect!

Criss-cross apple pie with sour cherry




Azért lett meggyes is az almás pite, mert sajnos kevés almát vettem (tanulság, az ember nem 1 kiló almát vesz a piacon, amikor az az 1 kiló csak 5 darab), meggy pedig mindig van a mélyhűtőben frissen elrakva, és hát lássuk be, a meggy szinte minden süteménynek jót tesz. A tészta részben rozsliszttel készült, úgyhogy ez egy reform jellegű almás pite lett. Rácsos pedig Nővér kérésére lett :)

Hozzávalók a tésztához:

15 dkg teljes kiőrlésű rozsliszt
25 dkg simaliszt
10 dkg cukor
2 db tojás
2 nagy evőkanál natúr joghurt
15 dkg margarin
1 csomag sütőpor

Hozzávalók a töltelékhez :

5 közepes alma
egy marék mazsola
egy citrom héja
fél citrom leve
fahéj
édesítő
fél kg mélyhűtött magozott meggy

+1 marék összedarabolt dió a tetejére


A tésztához a kétfajta lisztet összekeverem a sütőporral és belemorzsolom a margarint. Hozzáadom a két tojást, a joghurtot és a cukrot, és összegyúrom, amíg szép rugalmas tésztát nem kapok belőle. Egy kis liszt a gyúrás során lehet, hogy kell, ha túl lágy lesz a tészta. Félrerakjuk pihenni, amíg a tölteléket megcsináljuk.

Az almákat megmosom és lereszelem, én nem szoktam meghámozni, de aki nem szereti a héját, az nyugodtan hámozza meg. Amikor kész, az alma levét kinyomkodom (nehogy kiöntse valaki, leszűrve eszméletlen finom, igazi 100%-os almalé, az almás sütik készítésének legjobb része), egy serpenyőbe rakom, ráreszelem a citrom héját, rányomom a levét, hozzáadom a mazsolát, a fahéjat és az édesítőt, ízlés szerint. Felrakom a tűzre, és kb. 10-15 perc alatt megdinsztelem. A meggyet szintén megdinsztelem egy kicsit, sok levet kiad magából, ezt nem rakom rá a tésztára, mert eláztatná. 

A tésztát kinyújtom, méretre vágom, és belerakom a sütőpapírral kibélelt tepsibe. A megmaradt széleket újra összegyúrom, kinyújtom, mert ezekből lesznek a rácsok.
Az almás tölteléket rásimítom, a meggyet egyenletesen eloszlatom a tetején. A rácsokat ráfektetem, és megszórom a dióval. 180 fokra rakom a sütőbe, alulról is sütöm egy ideig, hogy a tészta biztosan ne ázzon el. Kb. 20-25 perc kell neki, amikor a dió és a rácsok megpirultak a tetején, kiszedem a sütőből.
Nem lesz nagyon édes, de az almás pite pont úgy jó :)

Apple pancakes with maple syrup




The amount of the ingredients depends on how many pancakes we want to make. Actually this is the usual pancake dough (the hungarian version), but I whipped the egg whites separately and added them in the end, which made the dough so light and spumy. 4 smaller apples, 40 dkg of flour, 3 eggs, this amount is enough for at least 4 people.

Ingredients:
  • flour
  • eggs
  • 1 packet of vanilin sugar
  • sparkling water or milk
  • apples
  • ground cinnamon
  • skin of 1 lemon
Grate the apples and squeeze most of its juice out of it (and of course we filter the juice and drink it afterwards..:) ). Separate the 3 eggs. We will whip the whites in the end. Add a bit of milk or water to the yolks, the vanilin sugar and the apples. Also add a bit of cinnamon and mix the whole thing. Add the flour in smaller amounts, and if it gets too stiff then add water. In the end beat the egg whites and mix it with the dough. It fries quickly in the pan and its very delicious. To eat maple syrup with it is almost an obligation, thats what makes it so autumny :)
