Objava, ki čaka na objavo že kar nekaj časa, če smo natančni že od januarja. Preden smo začeli s snemanjem za Ptujski luk, sem objavila čebulni chutney, ki je bil v sklopu tega. Ni pa to bila edina stvar, ki sem jo naredila. Naredila sem še čebulno juho, čebulno pito in pa solato iz koromača in ptujskega luka. Slikal je Tomo Jeseničnik, kar je amazing, ker to pomeni, da imam res luštne slike. Poleg teh slik, ki jih je naredil Tomo, boste danes videli tudi moje slike (čeravno ne tako strokovne in lepe, plus tega, da mi jih pol manjka, ker je fotaparat nekaj štekal :/), saj je današnja objava takšna, ki je že dolgo nismo videli na mojem blogu. Me je kar spomnilo na čase, ko sem vsako stvar slikala in vsak teden pridno objavljala. No sedaj sem malo bolj lena in malo bolj zasedena, ampak je današnji fotosešn prav pasal:)  Naredila sem zelenjavno pito, ki je om, njom,njom:) Quich, kot se sicer imenuje, jaz najraje jem mrzlega, ker mi šele takrat pridejo naprej vsi okusi. Pri izbiri zelenjave nisem komlicirala,  je pa bolj jesenska zelenjava, da vstopimo v jesen tako, kot se reče 🙂
Na snemanju je seveda glavna zvezda bil Ptujski luk, tako da je tudi pita bila čebulna, danes pa sem imela v mislih jesen in jesenske barve, topli šali in pa sprehodi po gozdu, ko je vse lepo pisano, tako kot moja pita 🙂 Pripisala bom oba recepta, tako da imate med čim izbirati. Sicer pa uživajte, sedaj je konec poletja, upajmo, da pa ne tudi lepega vremena, čeprav če pogledam čez okno, nič kaj dobro ne kaže
Se ne bom pustila motit, grem kr na sprehod, uživajte 😉

Čebulna pita
Testo:
Primerno za pekač premera 26cm
230 g moke
100 g hladnega masla
70 g jajc (1 jajce+ voda)
4 g soli

Moko in maslo zmešamo skupaj, da dobimo drobtinam podobno maso, nato dodamo jajca in sol, ter na hitro premešamo, zavijemo v folijo in damo v hladilnik, da počiva vsaj pol ure, vmes naredimo nadev.
Namig: Če imate čas in voljo ( jaz je nisem imela :D), lahko testo, preden ga nadevate, spečete v pečici, tako boste imeli manj namočeno dno. Uporabite metodo slepa poka, kjer na testo položite peki papir, in nato napolnite z suhim rižem, fižolo, kar pač imate pri roki. Prvo pecite 15 min z  in nato še ene 10 min brez , da se vam lepo naredi skorja in je testo že skoraj pečeno.

Čebulni nadev:
3 žlice čebulne marmelade
2 ptujski čebuli
1 čajna žlička sladkorja

Preliv:
3 jajca
200 g smetane
200 g mleka
muškatni orešček
poper, 5 g soli
150 g parmezan

Čebulo narežemo na drobno, dodamo sladkor in pražimo vsaj 20 min na nizkem ognju, da postane lepo karamelizirana. Odstavimo.
V drugi posodi zmešamo jajca in dodamo smetano, mleko, sol in začimbe. Postavimo na stran.

Jesenska pita:
Testo
je isto kot pri čebulni.

Nadev:
1/2 hokaido buče (lahko tudi katera druga)
1/2 koromača
1 cela paprika
2 stroka česna
2 rdeči čebuli
1 čž soli (jaz sem uporabila začimbno sol, ki mi jo je prijatelj prinesel iz potovanja)

Zelenjavo narežemo na koščke, nato prvo prepražimo bučo (ki je ni potrebno lupiti), nato dodamo koromač, ko sta ti zelenjavi mehki (5min), dodamo še čebulo in papriko in pražimo še 3 min, nato dodamo česen, solimo po okusu in vse skupaj damo na stran, da se nam malo ohladi.

Preliv:
(sem ga morala narediti več, ker je ta pekač višji, kot pekač za pite)
5 jajc
300 g smetane
300 g mleka
muškatni orešček
poper, sol

Ko je testo pripravljeno, ga na tanko razvaljamo, vstavimo v model za pite,  dno pite preluknjamo z vilico, (prej ga lahko malo spečete s slepo peko) nato dno pite napolnimo z praženo zelenjavo in zalijemo z jajčno kremo. Pri tej piti sem izpustila sir, saj ga nisem imela, vi ga lahko dodate 🙂
Pečemo na 185 °C cca. 45 min, oz, dokler ni pita lepo zapečena, sredina pite pa je še vedno rahlo migajoča. Pito lahko ponudimo toplo, vendar je najboljše, če jo prej ohladimo.

Autumn quich and photographs from Tomo Jeseničnik
Today post is a sin from the past. Let me explain, more or less of today´s photos, were made in January (By a Slovenian photographer Tomo Jeseničnik). I did a shooting of Ptujski luk (onion from Ptuj), where I did onion chutney, onion soup, onion and fennel salad and onion quiche. I am only now posting the photos, because I kinda forgot about it. I only remembered it today, when I was making quich. The quick I made today was autumn colored. Well at least the veggies were 🙂 It was amazing and it’s really so simple to make, so I encourage you to do it 😉 Today I´m posting recipes for both of them, so enjoy autumn 🙂
P.S. My camera went a little crazy today so most of quich making process pictures were ruined, but I hoope you still get the idea of how it is made.

The dough (the same for both quiches):
230 g flour
100 g cold cubed butter
70 g eggs (1 egg + water)
4 g salt

Crumb together butter and flour, mix the egg mixture with a fork and add it in. Don´t over do it, just until it is combined. Wrat it in a clean foil and refrigerate for 30 min. On a floured surface roll out the dough and transfer it to your tin. I used a wet parchment paper (you just wet and shrunk the paper, then dry at a little and it will fit perfectly in to you pan) under my dough, because it is much easier this way to get it out, once it is baked. Put hole in the bottom with a fork. Then refrigerate until ready.

Filling (the recipe id the same, but in the autumn quich I had to almost double it, because the pan was bigger)
3 eggs
200 ml of cream
200 ml of milk
pinch of nutmeg
5 g salt

Mix together the ingredients at put aside until you need it.

The caramelised onion filling:
3 tbsp of onion chutney
2 large onions
1 tsp sugar

We cut the onions into small pieces, we add sugar  and we caramelise on low heat for 20 min or so, until the onion becomes really soft and sweet. Set aside to cool.

Autumn filling:
1/2 hokkaido pumpkin
1/2 fennel
1 peppers
2 cloves garlic
2 red onions
1 tsp salt

First cut your vegetable into cubes, then  roast the pumpkin (you don´t have to peel it) for a few min, then add the fennel and rost them together for about 5 min, until soft. Then add the onions and peppers and roast for another 2 min, season and add crushed garlic. Set aside.

Tip: You can bake your dough, before you fill it, this will prevent a soggy bottom, but I didn’t have the time, so I didn’t:)

For the onion quich you spread the jam on the bottom, then you add the caramelised onions and you fill it up with the egg mixture. Bake for about 40-50 min, at 190°C / 370 °F or until the center is stil a little jiggly, but everything is nicely set. I like to eat my quch cold, but it can also be eaten warm.

For the autumn quich just add the roasted veggies on the bottom and fill it with egg mixture. Bake for about 40-50 min, at 190°C / 370 °F or until the center is stil a little jiggly, but everything is nicely set. I like to eat my quch cold, but it can also be eaten warm.

Karamelizirana čebulna marmelada iz Ptujskega lüka / Caramelised onion chutney made from onions from Ptuj region

Po dolgem premoru se zopet malo oglašam na blogu. Kako ste preživeli praznike (sicer se jih verjetno sploh ne spomnite več :D), moji so bili kar zanimivi, zopet sva namreč odpeketala v London, kjer sva se imela super in še bolj super, Do odhoda sem morala postoriti sicer zelo veliko zadev in sem zato že res komaj čakala na odhod. Ko sva se vračala sem bila napolnjena z energijo, ki pa je hitro splahnela, groza, januar je res čuden mesec, a ni? 🙂
Sedaj se še pobiram, kar se energije tiče, pa to ni zdaj neko samopomiljevanje, ampak očitno moje telo res rabi malo več pavze, kot pa samo en teden, pa čeprav je bil super teden. Dela in obveznosti imam sedaj dovolj, da si zopet pridem noter v ritem in moram priznati, da se ga že kar precej veselim. Izpiti so sedaj za mano, vsaj za ta semester, sedaj pa novim izzivom nasproti. In izzivom nihče ni kos, če nima dobre in tolažilne nagrade. Moja tolažilna nagrada je vsak teden drugačna, ta teden sem obsedena s čebulno marmelado, oz. bolj znano kot chutney. Dam si jo poleg vsega, super se namreč prilega poleg sirov, poleg mesa, al pa kar na žlico 🙂
Ta marmelada je še posebej dobra, ker je narejena iz slovenske čebule (Ptujski lük, ki je v Sloveniji tudi zaščiten z zaščiteno geografsko označbo (ZGO)), ki je res dobra in polnega okusa. Priprav je preprosta, najtežji del je rezanje čebule in nato čakanje, da se skuha, še posebej zato, ker cela hiša tako lepo diši, da je kar neverjetno;)
Poskusite in dober tek 😉

Glasbena podlaga: Lost stars

9-10 srednje velikih ptujskih čebul
50 g arganovega olja (sem ga slučajno imela, lahko uporabite tudi olivno)
2 čilija (več ali manj, po okusu)
100 ml balzamičnega kisa
200 ml rdečega vinskega kisa (lahko zamenjate razmerje, jaz sem imela več rdečega kisa:D)
100 g rjavega sladkorja
2-3 lovorjeve liste

Čebulo olupimo in narežemo na rezine(ni potrebno, da so super tanke, saj med kuhanjem veliko čebule razpade), nato skupaj z oljem in čilijem kuhamo na nizkem ognju (jaz sem imela skoz na 4) vsaj 30 min, dokler ni čebula lepo skuhana in sladka. Nato dodamo kisa, sladkor in lovor, zmešamo in damo nazaj na zmeren ogenj, kjer kuhamo in reduciramo še vsaj 30 min, oz. dokler ne dobimo lepe gostljate in karamelizirane marmelade oz. chutneja.
Z marmelado napolnimo male pasterilizirane kozarčke (jaz sem dobila 3 majhne kozarčke) in dobro zapremo. Ta marmelada gre super z različnimi siri, super pa se prileže tudi k mesu. Poskusite 😉

Caramelised onion chutney made from onions from Ptuj region
It took me so long to write a new post here and I feel so guilty. Every day that passed without me posting anything I felt more guilty, and i feel stupid for it, because blog shouldn’t be something I have to do, but something I want to do, and feeling pressured( not by anybody else, but from me) into writing something can only make things worse. So I took some time off, well time off from the blog at least, otherwise I had a lot to do, plus I had some fun time as well (we visited London again this year and it was even more amazing than last year, if that is even possible). I worked with a lot of amazing people, had wonderful experiences but it did drain me completely, and it took me the whole january to slowly put myself together. Now I feel I can fly to the moon again, which is great, because I don´t like the passive aggressive me, it doesn’t suit my personality 🙂
And to celebrate I made myself some chutney. I was planning on doing this for a long time and the other day I bought some Slovenian onions, from Ptuj region (that are btw. also protected with Protected Geographical Indication ( PGI)) and I just couldn’t resist. I made a plan on what kind of chutney I want, and then I experimented, and I love the result. The sweetness of the chutney isn’t from the sugar, because I didn’t want that, instead I cooked the onions for so long, that they became sweet all on their own, then I added the vinegars and a little sugar, and then I let it reduce to a sticky and sweet and oniony delight. Njam, njam, njam:)
Try it and then you will put it on everything, it goes perfect with some gorgonzola, or any kind of meet, I also eat it with a spoon, all on it´s own 🙂

Recipe:
9-10 medium sized red onions
50 ml of olive oil or argan oil (I used this one)
2 chillies (more or less to your liking)
2 bay leaves
100 ml of balsamic vinegar
200 ml of red vine vinegar (you can change the ratio of the vinegars, i just hade more red vine vinegar:D)
100 g  brown sugar

Cut your onions and chilli into short, thin slices and put them into a pan with oil. Cook gently over a low heat for about 30 minutes. Once the onions are sweet and sticky, add the sugar, bay leaves and the vinegars and simmer for 30 minutes or so, until the chutney is thick and dark.Pour the chutney into hot, sterilised jars (I got 3 little jars from this amount) and let it cool.
(The idea for the recipe from here)
