Helado de Cardamomo, Canela y Caramelo


SUSCRIBETE http://www.youtube.com/subscription_c...
Un helado escandalosamente rico y tan sencillo de hacer que no os lo vais a poder creer. Para hacer en máquina de helados o con la técnica del helado instantáneo. Y totalmente apto para la dieta, desde el primer día. ¡Genial!

Hacía un helado muy parecido el verano pasado, con cardamomo en polvo y azafrán del bueno en hebra (me regalaron una cajita monísima con azafrán, cómo me conocen...) Estaba muy bueno. Hoy quise grabar cómo se hacía este helado, pero no tenía azafrán. Se me ocurrió probar con canela y caramelos. Menuda idea tan afortunada, está tan pero tan bueno que hasta yo me quedé sorprendida, jajjajja.

¿Y SI NO TENGO QUESO CREMA 0% MATERIA GRASA?

Si no tenéis queso crema/queso de untar 0% (libre de grasa) podéis sustituirlo por la misma cantidad de queso fresco batido 0%, quark 0% o por yogures desnatados de sabor natural. Para que el helado quede tan cremoso como el hecho con queso crema, podéis quitarle el suero al queso batido o a los yogures, de una forma muy sencilla. Aquí tenéis cómo http://midiariodukan.blogspot.com.es/...

Cardamom - The Fine Alternative

Today, SWISSAID published a great article on the impact that cardamom farming is having in Colombia, they mention us, Merit Trade LLC, as their partners in the selling of the product here in the U.S. we would like to thank SWISSAID for all their amazing help, they have been instrumental in this effort to make of Colombian Cardamom a viable source of income for our farmers and our families.


Here's an excerpt from the article.

"By 2014, the processing plant must also be ready for 180 land labourers, who will find temporary work here. With the support of SWISSAID, the farmers’ association has negotiated a supply contract with American company, Merit Trade, an enterprise which already exports cardamom from a neighbouring region. The company contributes half of the building costs for the processing plant, while the farmers and SWISSAID fund the rest. The objective of the farmers’ association is to retain most of the added value on site. In the medium-term, the farmers plan to be self-financing thanks to processing the spice."

Recette : Paupiette de saumon aux asperges, sauce beurre blanc

Tailler les escalopes de saumon frais. Retirer les petites feuilles des asperges et les éplucher en ne conservant que la pointe et le vert de l'asperge. Émincer les têtes d'asperges en fines lamelles et le reste en biseaux de 3 à 4 mm. Éplucher et ciseler l'échalote.
Assaisonner les escalopes de saumon de fleur de sel et de poivre, parsemer quelques baies roses et quelques feuilles d'estragon. Former les paupiettes en roulant les escalopes, puis les piquer à l'aide de cure-dents.

Faire chauffer de l'eau dans une casserole, ajouter la badiane, les graines de cardamome et de fenouil et les baies roses. Dans un wok, verser un filet d'huile d'olive et faire revenir les pousses de soja et les asperges avec 1 pincée de sel fin. Filtrer l'eau infusée aux épices et les verser sur les légumes. Porter la préparation à ébullition, puis placer une grille au-dessus et déposer les paupiettes de saumon sur la grille. Laisser cuire à couvert pendant 3 à 4 min.

Préparer le beurre blanc :
Couper le beurre en petits morceaux et le laisser au frais. Éplucher et ciseler finement les échalotes. Hacher l'estragon.
Dans une casserole, mélanger les échalotes, le vin blanc, le vinaigre balsamique blanc, le sel, le poivre et l'estragon. Mettre la casserole sur le feu et laisser réduire le tout lentement jusqu'à ce qu'il reste environ 2 cl de réduction
Sur le feu très doux, ajouter les morceaux de beurre bien froid et fouetter énergiquement. Assaisonner à votre convenance.

Dressage :
Dresser les légumes dans des assiettes creuses, ajouter une paupiette de saumon sur le dessus et napper de beurre blanc. Décorer de quelques pluches d'estragon.

Cardamom falls 3% on low demand

Adequate stocks in the spot market affected the trade


Cardamom futures for March declined Rs 26.90, or 3.00%, to Rs 869.40 per kg in 1,840 lots.

At the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX), the April contract traded lower by Rs 26.70, or 2.85%, to Rs 908 per kg, in 2,190 lots. Adequate stocks in the spot market on higher supplies from producing belts affected the trade.



Market analysts said off-loading of positions by traders amid weak spot market trend on subdued demand mainly led to a fall in cardamom futures prices.

Besides, adequate stocks position in the spot market also influenced trading in cardamom prices, they said.
