Cowboy Spice Mix Roasted Chicken...

Seksi kannnn... rasa dia pon mengancam...

Aku dapat resepi cowboy spice mix kat Pinterest. Aku memang gilakan ayam yang dipanggang dengan pelbagai perapan rempah. Macam-macam versi aku dah buat cuma tak update kat sini jek... ekekeke...










Ok...dalam balang ni aku layerkan spices yang diperlukan untuk buat cowboy mix ni... Apa yang menarik... resepi ni memasukkan ground coffee sebagai salah satu ramuannya... unik... tak sabar nak rasa...yeahhhh...

The ingredients to make this lovely cowboy mix...

3/4 cup Chili Powder - aku kurangkan kepada 1/2 cup
1/4 cup Ground Coffee
1/4 cup Paprika
1/4 cup Ground Cumin
1/4 cup Brown Sugar
2 tsp Salt
2 tsp Dry Mustard
2 tsp Ground Corriander
2 tsp Fresh Ground Black Pepper
1 tsp Cayenne Pepper

In a small bowl, combine all ingredients and whisk gently to combine. Package in an airtight container until ready to use...

Aku masukkan terus dalam balang... lepas tu goncang sampai semua sebati...senang...

Drizzle 2 tbsp of olive oil over 1 pound of steak. Dalam kes ni aku guna ayam... I love chicken! Rub 1/4 cup of the spice mixture and marinate for 1 hour. Grill to desire doneness... Aku tak sempat nak perap pon. Lepas dah lumur dengan minyak masak dan sapu ramuan rempah tu dengan penuh kasih sayang pada ayam aku... terus aku panggang aje. Malas la nak grill...hahaha...Dan ramuan tu aku guna lebih dari 1/4 cup... Aku nak rasa yang kuat pada ayam panggang aku... yeahhh...

But then hasilnya sangat sangat memuaskan hati. Serbuk kopi tu tak terasa pon pahitnya. Sangat sedap! Satu balang spice mix neh boleh buat dua kali... I really love it!

Ubi Keledek Goreng Bersalut Rempah...

Dapat resepi kat Food Network masa tengok cite Spice Of Life with Bal Anerson. Teruja la nak cuba ubi keledek goreng dia. Jadi aku cuba buat...

 http://www.cookingchanneltv.com/recipes/bal-arneson/sweet-potato-fries-with-chili-coconut-dip.html

Patut cicah dengan coconut dip tapi aku tak rasa nak cuba pon. Aku hanya buat ubi keledek goreng dia jek...hehehe...

Dan aku guna tepung gandum instead of tepung jagung. Aku tak suka guna tepung jagung untuk goreng apa saja makanan... huhuhuuuu...

Ini campuran 1/2 sudu teh Ground Cardamom, 1/2 sudu teh Smoked Paprika dan 1/2 sudu teh Garam
Aku tak ada ground cardamom. Jadi aku guna aje cardamom biasa dan blend sampai halus. Tapi pod dia tanak jadi halus pon. Ahhhh...biarlah. Janji ada rasa...hahaha


 Lepas dah goreng ubi keledek tu...gaul dengan bahan tadi. Wow! Boleh tahannnn...

Tyler Florence's Brick Chicken...

Tak brick sangat la sebab aku tak ikut pon cara masak ayam ni dengan resepi asal dia. Aku masukkan dalam oven je sebab nak sangat rasa rempah ratus yang digunakan untuk masak ayam ni.

Resepi asal boleh dapat kat sini...
http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/tyler-florence/brick-chicken-with-apricot-couscous-recipe.html

Ingredients

2 tablespoons cumin seed
2 tablespoons whole coriander
2 cinnamon sticks
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1 teaspoon cayenne
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup olive oil
1 lemon, juiced
1 whole free-range chicken (3 pounds), split (see directions below or have butcher split chicken for you)
Extra-virgin olive oil
Ground black pepper

Directions...

Toast cumin, coriander and cinnamon in a medium saucepan over low heat until fragrant. In a clean spice grinder or coffee grinder, blend spices until fine. Add the toasted spices to a bowl with paprika, cayenne and black pepper. Season with kosher salt. Stir in the olive oil and lemon juice.

Prepare chicken by splitting it down the back and removing the backbone, breast bone and rib cage. Lay the chicken out flat and rub the blended spices all over. Marinate for up to 4 hours or overnight.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Kesimpulannya: Aku suka resepi ni! Cuma lain kali kene kurangkan sikit lemon juice tu sebab terasa sikit masamnya. Kat dalam show Tyler's Ultimate, black pepper ada diletakkan masa nak marinate ayam neh... aku ikut tv je la....

Alton Brown's Garam Masala Recipe...

Garam Masala
 
2 tablespoons cardamom seeds
2 tablespoons coriander seeds
1 tablespoon cumin seeds
1 tablespoon brown mustard seeds
2 tablespoons black peppercorns
20 cloves
1 dried arbol chile stemmed, seeded and crumbled
1 (2 1/2-inch) cinnamon stick, broken in 1/2
1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
 

Combine all of the seeds, peppercorns, cloves, chile, and cinnamon in an 8-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Cook, moving the pan constantly, until you smell the cumin toasting, approximately 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the mixture to a plate and spread out to cool for 5 minutes.

Once cool, add the toasted mixture and nutmeg into a spice grinder. Process until a fine powder is formed, approximately 1 minute. Use immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 1 month.


p/s: nanti aku nak cuba buat tapi masalah cili arbol tu...mana nak carik? takyah letak kot...hmmm...
