Have you tried the new meatless burgers?

If this is the first that you heard of this. The meatless burger is here. Burger King seems like the leader so far. But I want your opinion. Will you or have you tried them?

When I first did this article, I would not even think about it. But now I look forward to my BK coupons that come in the mail. I use the impossible burger coupon. I think that it’s better than the Whopper.

Top five ingredients: Water, soy protein concentrate, coconut oil, sunflower oil and natural flavors.

What say you?

Reprint. Chocolate Chevron Cake.

Views: 67

Chocolate Chevron Cake article here..

This rich, dense, elegant Chocolate Chevron Cake from Ina Garten‘s cookbook, Cook Like a Pro, comes from her catering days and is an illustration in how repetition makes you a better cook.

“When the baker didn’t show up, I had to make 50 Chocolate Chevron Cakes,” she recalls. “I learned the fastest and best way to bake a cake that looks impressive without a lot of extra effort.” It’s also a lesson in pairing ingredients to boost flavor. “Some ingredients need a partner to bring out their flavor, which is why I always put a touch of coffee in my chocolate dishes,” Garten explains. “You don’t taste the coffee, but it makes the chocolate taste better.”

Chocolate Chevron Cake

By Ina Garten

  • Makes

    1 (8-inch) cake

  • Active Time

  • Total Time

Ingredients

  • 8 Tbsp (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 4 extra-large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 (16-oz) can Hershey’s chocolate syrup
  • 1 Tbsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 8 oz semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp instant coffee granules

  • Directions

    1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Butter an 8 × 2-inch round cake pan. Line bottom with parchment paper, then butter and flour pan, tapping out excess flour.
    2. Cream butter and sugar the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment until light and fluffy. With mixer on low, add eggs, 1 at a time, then mix in chocolate syrup and vanilla. Add flour; mix until just combined. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake 40-45 minutes, until just set in middle. Cool in pan 30 minutes. Remove from pan, turning cake upside down on a wire rack set over a sheet pan. Cool completely.
    3. Whisk together confectioners’ sugar and 1 Tbsp water until smooth, thick and just barely pourable. When you lift icing from the bowl with the whisk, it should slowly fall back on itself in a ribbon. (You may need to add a few more drops of water.) Fit a pastry bag with a small, round pastry tip and fill it with icing. Set aside.
    4. To make ganache, place heavy cream, chocolate chips and coffee in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Heat mixture until smooth and warm, stirring occasionally. Pour ganache evenly over top and sides of cake, tilting rack until ganache is smooth all over.
    5. Immediately, before ganache sets, pipe parallel lines of confectioner’s sugar mixture about 1 inch apart on entire cake, stopping just short of edge. Lightly drag back of a small paring knife through ganache perpendicular to white lines also 1 inch apart, alternating directions (first left to right, then right to left, and so on) and covering the whole cake. Allow the ganache and icing to set. Cut in wedges; serve at room temperature.
    6. Pro tip: “You can wrap and refrigerate the cake for a few days, but once it is ‘ganached,’ leave it at room temperature for up to 8 hours,” says Garten. “If you refrigerate it, beads of condensation will form on the ganache and damage the decoration.”

Let’s do Tuscan White Bean Toast with Garlic and Tomatoes.

Views: 55

Let’s do Tuscan white bean toast. The super garlicky Tuscan white beans that are served with the bread can be better than the pasta. The plant-based mix isn’t just healthy, as it contains high amounts of fiber and plant-based protein, but it’s loaded with flavor. Instead of something only to enjoy before your main course, it can easily stand on its own for a healthy meal—just ask Erin Clarke, creator of Well Plated and author of The Well Plated Cookbook, who created a simple recipe that can be put together in record time.

Tuscan white bean toasts with garlic and tomatoes

Ingredients
4 slices of thick, good quality whole wheat bread
3 tablespoons plus 4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 small shallot (finely chopped)
1 pint cherry tomatoes (2 cups, left whole)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
3 cloves minced garlic
2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon honey
1 15-ounce can reduced sodium white (cannellini) beans, rinsed and drained
2 tablespoons finely grated Parmesan (can use dairy-free or nutritional yeast)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme

Directions.

1. Place a rack in the upper third of your oven and preheat the oven to 400°F. Arrange the bread in a single layer on a parchment lined baking sheet. Brush each side with 1/2 teaspoon olive oil. Bake for 5 minutes, then flip the slices and return to the oven. Continue baking until the bread is nicely toasted, about 5 additional minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.
2. Meanwhile, heat the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large, nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the shallot, tomatoes, salt, and pepper. Let cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes break down and their juice begins to caramelize in the skillet, about 10 to 12 minutes.
3. Stir in the garlic, red wine vinegar, and honey. Let cook 30 seconds, or until just fragrant, then stir in the white beans. Let cook 1 to 2 minutes, until the beans are warmed through. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.
4. To serve, arrange the toasted bread slices on plates. Top with generous spoonfuls of the tomato bean mixture, then sprinkle with Parmesan or nutritional yeast and thyme. Enjoy immediately.
