CHOCOLATE GANACHE

Looking good!!! Ganache poured over Nerrt's Deep Chocolate Cake!

MONA H CHOCOLATE GANACHE

• This is the easiest frosting recipe; and, you can make two types with this same recipe!
• In a heat proof bowl add 8ozs of semisweet chocolate add a half cup of heavy cream and a tsp of instant coffee and place over a simmering pot of water. Stir until the chocolate is melted smooth and shiny.
• This produces a ganache that u can dip cupcakes into or pour over a cake.
• To make more of a traditional frosting take the ganache mixture and place in a mixer and whip with ur whipping attachment (like u would to make whipped cream). Once it is fluffy and the colour of chocolate milk, it's done and ready to be spread over cupcakes or cakes.
• There it is one recipe two frostings

Enjoy!

MONA'S LENTIL SOUP

So today is my day and I'm finally sending a recipe; only because Nazi Jeannette is sitting beside me and making me do it.

Here it goes:

Barakat's Curry Lentil Soup

• Chop one onion and some carrots in a small food processor until very fine (mushy). Add them to a pot with some warmed olive oil. 
• Saute for a few minutes and then add about two-three cups of red lentils and saute for a few more minutes. 
• Then fill the pot with water until the lentil are completely covered. Bring to a boil then cover and allow the mixture to simmer until the ingredients have softened and the liquid has reduced a little. 
• Then add a teaspoon of curry, a teaspoon of ground cardamon, and salt and pepper to taste. 
• Then using a hand blender blend until smooth. Taste and adjust the seasoning until you like it. When ready to serve, garnish with sauce (see recipe below) and pita chips.

Sauce

olive oil

lemon juice

garlic

salt

There's my recipe; get off my back Jeannette.
