Episode 120 - Cherry Tomatoes with Salmon Sandwich & Sunshine Muffins

Today I'm posting 2 recipes. The first is a sandwich my sister made and the second is a muffin recipe which I got from Chef Wan's Kellogg's Cornflakes recipe booklet. Anyway, I was a bit sad with how the muffins turned out. It was abit dry so I checked the recipe and I actually forgot to put the oil in! My friend had a taste of it but complained about the orangey zesty taste. Well, my Mum liked the muffins so I think that's worth it already hehe. Alright, enjoy the recipes!

Baby Tomatoes with Salmon Sandwich

Ingredients:

10 Cherry Tomatoes
A small handful of Fresh Basil / a tablespoon of dried Basil
A teaspoon of dried Parsley/ A few leaves of Fresh ones
A few pieces of Smoked Salmon
Salt & Pepper, 1 tsp of Cappers
A quarter Lemon

Method:

Cut the tomatoes in quarters. Chop the Basil and Parsley till fine and place it in a bowl with the tomatoes & cappers. A little salt (Cappers are quite salty already) and pepper to taste and squeeze in the lemon juice. Lastly break a few pieces of Smoked Salmon in and mix well.

On a toasted bread, buttered or spread with cream cheese or mayo, place a few tablespoons of the tomatoes and salmon in the middle. And chomp it right up!

Serves: 2

Sunshine Muffins
Ingredients:
2 cups Kellogg's Cornflakes
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2tbsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
1/2 cup Raisins
1 egg
3/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup vegetable Oil
1 tsp Grated Orange Rind

Method:
In a mixing bowl, combined finely crushed cereal (you can blend it for a bit), flour, balking powder, soda, salt and sugar. Stir in the Raisins.

Beat together the egg, juice, milk, oil and orange rind. Add to dry ingredients, stirring just until moistened. Spoon batter into greased or paper-lined muffin cups, filling about 3/4 full.

Bake at 200 degrees Celsius (gas no. 6) for about 20 minutes or until lightly brown.
If you're using large muffin cups, this will make around 9. If small cups, around 12.

Serve warm with tea or coffee or take it to work for breakfast! They're not the best tasted muffins in the world but they do taste rather refreshing because of the orange juice.

Till the next post, don't forget to put on your Apron when you cook!
