1) South African Boerewors Recipe

The basic recipe. You can add and play with spices to make it your own.

Ingredients:

5 kg Beef
1 kg Pork
1.5 kg Bacon

Spices & Flavor:

2 tbsp Coriander (I prefer fine, but you can use either)
1 tbsp Cloves (fine)
1 1/2 tsp Nutmeg
1 1/2 tbsp Allspice
5 tbsp Vinegar
Salt and Pepper to season

How to make boerewors:

Mince the beef, pork, and bacon and mix well.
Mix all the spices and mix it into the meat, then add the vinegar.
Let it rest while you clean the sausage skins.

Mix everything again to ensure all the flavors are equally spread.

Fill the sausage skins with the mixture. (Having a machine to help you with this process makes life much easier.)

To serve: Fry the sausage in a pan or over hot coals on an outdoor South African style braai.

2) Zabaglione for dessert

Zabaione or zabaglione is an Italian dessert, or sometimes a beverage, made with egg yolks, sugar, and sweet wine. Some versions of the recipe incorporate spirits such as cognac. The dessert version is a light custard, whipped to incorporate a large amount of air. Wikipedia

125 ml Sugar

Which wine to use: Traditionally Marsala wine was used in the recipe, but you can substitute Marsala with Madeira Wine or even a Cream Sherry.

How to make Zabaglione:

In a double boiler, combine eggs, egg yolks, sugar en lemon peel.
Beat with an electric mixer until light and very thick.
Stir in the lemon juice and wine.
Beat mixture until doubled in volume. Remove from heat.

3) Canadian Timbits

Timbits are bite-sized doughnut holes, made from doughnut dough, fried in vegetable oil. These Cinnamon-Sugar-Timbits from Anna Olson, are my favorites:

Ingredients:

½ cup sour cream
½ cup buttermilk
½ cup sugar
1 large egg
½ tsp fine salt
2 cup all-purpose flour
¾ tsp baking soda
dash ground nutmeg
vegetable oil for frying
icing sugar for dusting
cinnamon sugar for coating

(This recipe is from her tv show Fresh with Anna Olson.)

How to make Timbits:

1. Whisk sour cream, buttermilk, sugar, egg and salt together. Sift together flour, baking soda and nutmeg and add to sour cream mixture, stirring just to blend. Let dough sit while heating oil.

2. Heat 2 inches (5 cm) of oil in a high-sided pot to 350F (180C), measured on a fryer or sugar thermometer. With a small ice cream scoop or with a tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of dough carefully into oil. Let cook until doughnuts are a deep brown on one side, about 4 minutes, before turning and cooking to the same color on the other side (often they turn themselves over when they are cooked on one side!). Remove doughnuts with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towel.

3. Let doughnuts cool 10 minutes, then sift icing sugar on top and serve, or toss in cinnamon sugar while warm.
