Rutabaga Casserole
第一次买甘蓝。烤出来是淡淡的黄色,吃起来有点甜味,口感有点像布丁。


INGREDIENTS:

DIRECTIONS:
Place the diced rutabaga in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and mash. Set aside to cool slightly.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease an ovenproof dish with butter.
Add 2 Tablespoons of the butter, the cream, breadcrumbs, salt, nutmeg and eggs to the rutabaga and stir to mix. Pour into the prepared dish and dot the surface with pats of the remaining butter. Bake for 45 minutes or until the top has lightly browned.

烤红萝卜焙盤Carrot Casserole
红萝卜丝和米饭奶油鸡蛋拌起来进烤箱,用汤匙背压上小花纹。烤出来有点像红萝卜派。

以下都是甜品,芬兰人的甜齿让人佩服。


甜牛奶米粥 Rice porridge
一杯米用五杯牛奶慢慢煮到全部吸饱了,要一直搅拌,成品很香浓。要乘热吃喔。里面还有一颗杏仁,吃到的人是当天的幸运星。这和中国人饺子里藏铜板的传统大有异曲同工之妙。


Ingredients
1 cup uncooked white rice
2 tbsp unsalted butter
4-5 cups whole milk
1/2 tsp salt

To be added after rice is cooked:
1 cup heavy cream (optional for thickening)
1/2 cup sugar
3 tsp cinnamon (more to taste)
Directions
1. Cook the rice over medium-high heat in a medium saucepan filled with an equivalent amount of water, so that the water is just barely covering the rice. Add butter and bring to a boil, stirring frequently to prevent burning, and until all the remaining water is absorbed.
2. Add half of the milk and let cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until all of the milk is absorbed.
3. Add the rest of the milk (2 cups) to the saucepan and continue to cook over medium heat and stirring often to prevent the rice and milk from burning. Keep cooking until the rice thickens and achieves a creamy appearance. At this point you can add the heavy cream to make the rice even thicker! (if you desire)
4. Add Salt and remove from heat.
5. Add cinnamon, sugar, and other spices and desired toppings.

干果甜汤 Mixed Fruit Soup


• about 0.5 lb dried mixed fruit
• 4 cups water
• 1/4 cup sugar
• stick of cinnamon
• (dash of salt)
• 1 tablespoons potato starch
1. Rinse the mixed fruit in cold water and leave to soak overnight in water containing a little sugar.?2. Boil the fruit in the soaking liquid with the cinnamon and a touch of salt if desired. ?3. Continue to boil over a low heat until the fruit is fully cooked. ?4. Transfer the fruit with a slotted spoon to the serving dish and remove the stick of cinnamon. ?5. Thicken the juice: remove the pan from the heat, mix the potato starch in a little cold water and add in a thin stream to the liquid, stirring continuously. Bring quickly back to the boil without stirring. ?6. Pour over the fruit and sprinkle a little sugar over the top.

姜饼

姜饼是耶诞传统饼干,偷个懒,wholefoods买的啦。

耶诞橘味甜酒Glogg

用酒,橘子汁,糖,香料一起小火慢慢燉成的热饮。
Spiced Orange Glogg:?* 2 cups orange juice?* 1/4 to 1/2 cup brown sugar?* 4-5 cardamom pods, crushed?* 1-inch piece ginger, peeled and sliced?* 1 bottle fruity white wine?* sliced oranges, for garnish
Spiced Orange Glogg: In a non-reactive saucepan, combine the orange juice, brown sugar, cardamom, and ginger over medium heat. Bring to a boil and simmer for a couple minutes. Add the wine and heat to just below a simmer.

当然少不了水果


祝福大家都有一个美好假期!
