My first experiment with Agar-Agar was less than success, but the second time was a SUCCESS in terms of looks and taste at the same time. I got the idea from molecularrecipes.com but I used my own RECIPE.
Ingredients;
1 Herbs SOUP CUBE
1/2 dl Water
1,5 dl tomato juice (used the one I put away in the summer)
1 tin of concentrated tomato puree
AGAR-AGAR (following the proportions given on molecular recipes.com; 150g tomato soup-2.4g agar-agar)
For decoration;
parmesan cheese
BASIL leafs
Special equipment;
Syringe (from local pharmacy)
approximately 1m plastic tube (from pet shop, AQUARIUM section)
Let the soup cube dissolve in 1/2 dl BOILING water. Add tomato juice and puree. Add salt and pepper, than filter it. Measure the clear soup and calculate how much Agar-Agar you need and mix it into the soup. After Boiling take the syringe and attach Plastic Tube to its end. Let the other end of the tube rest in the soup and start pulling the air out with the syringe. When the plastic tube is FULL, put it into a glass of cold water. I advise you to check a YouTube video before the procedure.
After a few minutes the MIX solidified you can simply push it out by attaching it to the syringe again and push air through the tube.
Carefully arrange it into a snail shape and sprinkle some parmesan cheese on top, finally decorate with a BASIL leaf.
Enjoy!
I had some left from yesterday's green salad and some PITA, I looked around what else I could find and ended up with a nice outcome for a leftover dinner.
Additional ingredients;
Purple onions
a tin of TUNA
Pitas
Cut the onions really FINE, add it to the green salad together with the Tuna. Put it in the pita. I also used the leftover lángos sauce.
Lángos is a Hungarian pastry most commonly served with sour cream, garlic and grained Cheese. The other day I had an incredible hunger for LÁNGOS but I wanted to Eat something more healthy than Pastry FRIED in oil so I thought why not have chicken with lángos toppings?
Ingredients;
Chicken
Sauce;
Sour CREAM
Garlic
cheese
Salad;
LETTUCE (I used one with fresh herbs)
Cucumbers
GreeN olives
green PEPPERS
Avocado
CORN
Cut the chicken into small CUBES and Fry until its brown and crispy. I used sherry-truffel sauce to make it more exciting (I bought it in the super market but you can also make it at home). Press the garlic (amount depending on your taste) into the sour cream and grasp cheese into it.
Chop the vegetables and put them in a bowl.
Voilá, ready! Enjoy!
