CARROT HALWA (MADE W/EASE IN SLOW COOKER) - ZWT-8

Steps:

• Grate the carrots by hand. (This dish is a labor of love & this is the only real labor part of it.) The carrots break down much better if they're hand grated. Alternatively, you can grate them in a food proc. Anupy Singla said the pre-grated, store-bought carrots aren't worth using as they're grated too thick & too long.) Put the carrots in the slow cooker.
• Bring milk to a boil on the stovetop & pour over the carrots in the slow cooker.
• Cook for 3 hrs on high. Remove the slow cooker lid & cook for another 3 hrs on high. Replace the lid (but leave slightly open) & cook on high for 3 more hours. By now, the carrots will be cooked & will look soft & watery.
• Transfer the carrot mixture to a wide, heavy pan & cook on the stovetop on med-high for 15 minutes.
• Add the sugar & cont cooking (stirring) for another 15 minutes. While stirring, slowly add the crushed almonds & the ghee or butter. Add the raisins + ground cardamom & cont stirring.
• When the carrot mixture pulls away from the sides of the pan on its own & becomes thicker, it's done. Take the pan off the heat & let the mixture cool for about 15 minutes. Garnish w/grd pistachio & almonds to serve.

CARROT HALWA

Steps:

• Melt ghee in a saucepan over medium heat. Add carrots; cook and stir until soft, about 5 minutes. Add milk and bring to a boil. Cook and stir until thickened, about 10 minutes. Reduce heat to medium.
• Combine water and sugar in a bowl; stir to dissolve. Add to the saucepan with the carrots. Stir in raisins and cardamom. Cook and stir until raisins are plumped and mixture is thickened, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat.

CARROT HALWA

Steps:

• Grate the carrots with the fine blade of your food processor or with a box grater.
• Melt the ghee in a stovetop pressure cooker over medium heat. Meanwhile, crush the cardamom pods in a mortar and pestle or with a heavy saucepan. Discard the papery pods and crush the seeds to a semi-fine powder. Add to the ghee and saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
• Tumble the grated carrots into the scented ghee. Cook, stirring every now and then, until slightly deepened in color, about 3 minutes.
• Pour in the milk, sugar and a good pinch of salt. Stir and bring to a boil. Twist the lid in place and ensure it is sealed (refer to the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid). Pressure cook on high for 3 minutes. Follow the guide again for quick-release of pressure, then carefully open and stand back!
• Place over high heat again. Stir in the powdered milk and currants and cook, stirring often, until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 10 minutes. The halwa should have a puddinglike consistency. Sprinkle with the pistachios and serve either warm or cold.

BALLYMALOE BROWN BREAD (ZWT-8)

Steps:

• Dissolve the molasses or treacle in 2/3 cup warm water in a sml bowl. (Around 100F is ideal) Grant calls it "blood heat" & notes the easiest way to obtain this temp (w/o a thermometer) is: Bring 1 cup of water to a boil, add 3 cups of cold water. Stir in the yeast & set aside for 8-10 minutes (or until the yeast begins to froth).
• Put the flour into a lrg bowl & mix in the salt.
• Lightly grease a lrg non-stick loaf pan w/oil.
• Make a well in the flour, pour in the yeast mixture & let it sit for a minute. Pour in about 1 1/4 cups warm water (see above), then form your hand into a rigid claw & stir the liquid into the flour slowly but steadily in a spiral motion (starting in the middle & working outwards to the rim of the bowl). The dough should be soft & too wet to knead (add water as necessary).
• Let the dough rest in bowl in a warm place for about 15 minutes.
• Transfer the dough to the greased loaf pan, cover loosely w/a damp towel & set in a warm place to rise for about 20 minutes. ("The bread should be what we call 'proud,'" says Tim Allen, "just beginning to peer over the top of the pan.")
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 450°F.
• Bake the bread for 20 minutes, then lower the oven temp to 400F & bake for 35-45 minutes more. If you like a crisp crust, remove the bread from the pan about 10 minutes before it is done, then return it to the oven (placing it upside down directly on the oven rack to finish cooking).

BLACK EYED PEA & CHORIZO HUMMUS (ZWT-8)

Steps:

• Heat med-sized sauce pot on med-high heat. Add chorizo to render fat & brown.
• Reduce heat to med. Add onions + garlic & cook until tender (about 5 min).
• Add cans of black eyed peas w/their liquid & bring mixture to a boil. Cook for 2 min & reduce to a simmer. Reduce liquid by half.
• Add cream cheese, tahini, cumin, lemon juice, parsley & lemon zest. Combine well.
• Transfer mixture to a food processor (or blender) to puree (I will use my hand-held blender for this). Drizzle in olive oil slowly. Puree until smooth (for about 5 min). Remove & refrigerate until ready to serve.
• *To Serve* - Garnish w/a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, parsley or a sprinkle of paprika. Serve w/grilled bread & raw veggies for dipping.
• *Note* - The recipe said it served 4, but I see it as much closer to serving 6 as an appy.

MONK FISH ROASTED W/CAPERS, BACON & PARSLEY (ZWT-8)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200C/400F temp - Heat a non-stick, oven-proof pan over med-high heat. For ea portion, add a small pat of butter. When the butter foams, add the monkfish tails & brown on both sides. Season w/salt & pepper as desired (I used lemon pepper).
• Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the fish & transfer to the oven to bake for 10 minutes. Check that the fish is hot throughout by pushing a skewer or knife into the thick part of the fish. If it comes out hot, the fish will be done (should take no more than 15 minutes). Remove from the oven, take the fish out of the pan & allow to rest.
• While the fish is resting, add a little more butter to the pan w/the shallots, garlic & bacon. Cook over a high-heat for a few min (til the bacon is cooked). Add the capers, a final squeeze of lemon juice, some grated lemon zest & the white wine.
• Add the monkfish back to the pan & baste w/the bacon/caper sauce for 2-3 minutes. Scatter parsley over the monkfish & shake the pan once or twice more. Place the monkfish tails on a bed of rice, cous cous or asparagus. Spoon the bacon/caper sauce over the top of the monkfish & serve immediately.
