Place the chickpeas and water in a pot and bring to a boil. As the water boils, skim off the foam that forms on the top. Reduce heat, add the onions and carrots, cover partially, and let simmer until the chickpeas are soft - about 2 hours. If needed, add more water (boiling) during cooking.

Translated Tat kefir Russian pies

A translated Russian recipe for our Ausie mates.
 Belyashi usually made from yeast dough and fry in a pan. I also did belyashi for this recipe, but my eye caught a very different way of preparing this dish and I decided to try my hand. At the end of the recipe preparation Tat on kefir, I'll tell you what I eventually got. You also need to stock up on minced meat, flour, yogurt and milk. Bake belyashi going in the oven. Flour - 3 cups Eggs - 2 pieces Yogurt - 1 cup Sugar - 1 tablespoon Baking soda - 1 teaspoon vegetable oil - 4 tablespoons Table salt - 1 teaspoon Ingredients for the filling for Tat: Minced meat - 400 grams of milk - 1 cup Onion - 3 pieces Step by step instructions with photos Tat preparations for yogurt in the bowl, mix yogurt with soda, leave for 10 minutes. Kefir should be fresh, acidic enough that the dough is well raised. In a lot of kefir add sugar, eggs, oil and salt, stirring well. Next add flour, stirring without stopping. Make the dough, put it in a plastic bag, leave it for half an hour. Peel onions, finely chopped. Stuffing mix with onion, salt, pepper, add the stuffing milk. Divide the dough into pieces the size of a hen's egg, roll out tortillas. Put in the resulting cake stuffing, sleplyaem edges of the dough so that there is a small hole. Lay out future belyashi on oiled baking, leave for 20 minutes. Put the pan in a preheated 150 ° C oven and bake for 30 minutes. We take out the pan from the oven, spread belyashi on a large plate, lubricate them with oil, cover with a plastic bag, and top with a towel, leave for 10 minutes. Belyashi ready. In the end, I turned out quite edible, not too salty belyashi. Dough, unfortunately was not up, so the stuffing was covered with a thin crust. I advise you to use a dish just with the heat from the oven, or if it will stand you a few hours, the crust will be very dry and almost impenetrable for delicate children's teeth. As an option - not worth trying to bake, and fry in oil in a frying pan, which I did. The ultimate cost of each Tat on this recipe significantly lower (twice) than those sold in cafeterias and kiosks.

Beef Wellington Recipe



INGREDIENTS

1 lb beef tenderloin fillet

Salt and pepper

Canola, or olive oil

1 lb mushrooms (we used half cremini, half shiitake)

4 thin slices ham (Parma ham if you can get it) or prosciutto

2 Tbsp yellow mustard (we used Coleman's Original English Mustard)

7 ounces puff pastry (needs 3 hours to defrost in refrigerator if using frozen)

2 egg yolks, beaten


METHOD

1 Preheat oven to 400°F.


2 Heat a tablespoon or two of oil in a large pan on high heat. Season the fillet generously with salt and pepper. Sear the fillet in the pan on all sides until well browned (hint: do not move the fillet until it has had a chance to brown). Remove the fillet from the pan and let cool. Once cooled, brush the fillet on all sides with mustard.


3 Chop the mushrooms and put them into a food processor and purée. Heat a large sauté pan on medium high heat. Scrape the mushroom purée into the pan and let cook down, allowing the mushrooms to release their moisture. When the moisture released by the mushrooms has boiled away, set aside the mushrooms to cool.


4 Roll out a large piece of plastic wrap. Lay out the slices of ham on the plastic wrap so that they overlap. Spread the mushroom mixture over the ham. Place the beef fillet in the middle, roll the mushroom and ham over the fillet, using the plastic wrap so that you do this tightly. Wrap up the beef fillet into a tight barrel shape, twisting the ends of the plastic wrap to secure. Refrigerate for 20 minutes.


5 On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet to a size that will wrap around the beef fillet. Unwrap the fillet from the plastic wrap and place in the middle of the pastry dough. Brush the edges of the pastry with the beaten eggs. Fold the pastry around the fillet, cutting off any excess at the ends (pastry that is more than 2 layers thick will not cook all the way, try to limit the overlap). Place on a small plate, seam side down, and brush beaten egg yolks all over the top. Chill for 5-10 minutes.


6 Place the pastry-wrapped fillet on a baking pan. Brush the exposed surface again with beaten eggs. Score the top of the pastry with a sharp knife, not going all the way through the pastry. Sprinkle the top with coarse salt. Bake for 25-35 minutes. The pastry should be nicely golden when done. (To ensure that your roast is medium rare, test with an instant read meat thermometer. Pull out at 125-130°F for medium rare.) Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Slice in 1-inch thick slices.
