Balinese Ikan Bakar Recipe (Balinese Grilled Fish)

     Eating ikan bakar (grilled fish) on a beach while watching the sun set in Bali is one of the greatest joys life has to offer. There are loads of ways of making ikan bakar but this simple Balinese recipe is one of our favourites and you can use it with almost any fish you like. In the summer, this recipe works really well cooked on a barbecue or you can even cook the fish over an open fire on the beach if you want a truly authentic experience.



In Bali, we tend to cook a couple of really big fish and let everyone share them but if you’re limited to what you can get in the supermarket, cooking a small fish per person works just as well. We’ve suggested serving this with rice but it also works really well with just a salad if you’re cutting down on your carbs.

The sambal matah (spice mix) for this dish packs a serious punch because it’s got a lot of raw chilli in it, if you prefer something a little sweeter, try serving this with sambal tomat.

The fish:
In Bali, we tend to use snapper but this recipe will work with most white sea-fish. In the photos, we used two sea bass and two bream.

For The Marinade:
Juice of 2 lemons
10 garlic
15 cm fresh turmeric (or 1 tbsp tumeric powder)

Delicious Cheddar Cheese Pound Cake with Brandy Caramel Apples Recipe

Gambar
       This poundcake created by chef Dawn Burrell gets a bit of a savory edge from the mellow cheddar cheese mixed into the batter and sprinkled on top of the cake as it bakes. It's excellent with afternoon coffee or tea on its own, but the Brandy Caramel Apples move it clearly into dessert territory (add a scoop of ice cream to take it over the top). You can bake one large cake in a Bundt or tube pan, or two cakes baked in loaf pans. Ingredients Cheddar Cheese Pound Cake ·          2 ¾   cups   sugar, divided ·          6   ounces   cheddar cheese (such as Kerrygold savory cheddar), shredded ·          ¼   cup   evaporated milk ·          1   cup   (8 ounces) unsalted butter, softened ·          8   ounces ...
