Oranges In Cardamom Syrup Recipes

Steps:

• Add the flour, sugar, baking powder, cardamom and salt to a large bowl and whisk to combine. In a medium bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, orange extract, orange zest and 3 tablespoons melted butter until combined.
• Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and mix to combine using a large spoon or rubber spatula. Using a whisk or a handheld electric mixer on high speed, beat the batter until smooth, about 30 seconds.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium. Add butter for greasing, tilting the pan to coat the bottom. Working in batches, cook the pancakes, using about 1/3 cup batter for each. Cook each batch of pancakes until bubbly on top and golden-brown underneath, 1 to 2 minutes, then flip and cook until golden-brown on the second side, 1 to 2 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter, adjusting the temperature and adding more butter as necessary.
• Transfer pancakes to serving plates. Drizzle with maple syrup and top with butter, as desired.

Steps:

• Place all syrup ingredients in a heavy-bottomed saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for about 15 minutes until thickened and syrupy. Strain, and allow syrup to cool fully before use.
• Pour 1 to 2 tablespoons of orange-cardamom syrup into each empty Champagne flute.
• Fill each glass with chilled Prosecco and serve.

Steps:

• With a vegetable peeler remove zest from 2 oranges and in a 2- to 3-quart saucepan combine zest and tea bags. Bring 4‚ cups water to a boil and pour over zest and tea bags. Let mixture steep 5 minutes and discard tea bags. Halve cardamom pods and add with sugar to tea mixture, stirring until sugar is dissolved.
• In pan boil tea mixture until reduced to about 3‚ cups. Pour mixture into a large heatproof bowl and add prunes. Cool mixture completely and discard zest.
• With a sharp knife cut peel from oranges, including all white pith. Cut oranges crosswise into 1/3-inch-thick slices and add to prune mixture. Macerate fruit, covered and chilled, at least 2 hours and up to 1 day. Bring fruit to room temperature before serving.

Steps:

• Using vegetable peeler, remove 5-inch-long strip of peel from 1 navel orange; reserve. Using knife, cut off remaining peel and white pith from oranges. Cut oranges lengthwise in half, then crosswise into 1/3-inch-thick slices; place slices in bowl.
• Using mortar and pestle, grind cardamom to break open pods and pulverize black seeds and husks, yielding about 1/2 teaspoon crushed cardamom. Transfer cardamom and reserved orange peel strip to heavy medium saucepan. Add 3 cups water, sugar, lemon peel, and cinnamon stick; bring to boil. Reduce heat to low; simmer until mixture is reduced to 1 cup, about 50 minutes. Cool syrup 10 minutes. Strain, discarding solids in strainer.
• Pour warm syrup over oranges and chill at least 6 hours or overnight.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F; line a baking sheet with parchment paper, then spray with cooking spray.
• Separate egg white from yolk into a large bowl (reserving yolk for another use); whisk egg white with orange zest, orange juice, vanilla extract, and salt.
• Add nuts and toss to coat; drain in a colander for 4 to 5 minutes.
• Combine sugar, ground cardamom, and pepper; add nuts and toss to coat with spices; spread nuts out on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake until dry and crisp, turning baking sheet once halfway through cooking, about 40 to 45 minutes.
• Cool, then break apart nuts and serve.
• Store in an air tight container for up to 3 weeks.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 150C/130C fan/gas 2 and butter a wide 1.5-litre ovenproof baking dish. Put the butter, sugar, cardamom, pudding rice and milk in a saucepan and bring gently to the boil, stirring to help the sugar dissolve. Add the cream, a pinch of salt, orange zest and vanilla and bring to a simmer. Simmer for about 4 mins, stirring, until you can feel that the rice grains have become slightly swollen. Pour into the buttered baking dish and bake for 2 hrs, uncovered. The rice should be cooked but not dry or sticky. It might need a little longer, but keep an eye on it.
• Meanwhile, make the compote. Heat the orange juice, pomegranate juice, molasses, honey and sugar, stirring to help the sugar dissolve. Simmer for 8 mins until reduced slighty. Transfer to a jug. If you have more than 300ml, reduce it by boiling a bit more. The mixture will thicken as it cools. Strain, cover and chill in the fridge.
• Cut the top and bottom off the oranges to form a flat base. Using a sharp serrated knife, cut away the pith and peel. Cut the fruit into slices, catching any juice if you can (add it to the syrup). Put the oranges in a bowl, pour on the syrup and serve with the rice pudding.

Steps:

• Simmer 1 3/4 cups sugar and orange juice in saucepan over medium heat, stirring to dissolve sugar. Boil over medium heat until reduced to 1 1/2 cups, about 8 minutes. Add cardamom and cool syrup.
• Place nuts and 2 Tbsp sugar in processor. Pulse until most of the nuts are finely ground (the largest pieces should be the size of small peas.) Mix nuts, 6 Tbsp sugar and cinnamon in medium bowl.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush a 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish with some of the melted butter. Place a sheet of phyllo in the dish and brush with melted butter. Repeat with 9 more sheets of phyllo and melted butter.
• Sprinkle half of the nut mixture evenly over the phyllo. Top with a sheet of phyllo and brush with melted butter. Repeat with 9 more sheets of phyllo and melted butter.
• Sprinkle with rest of the nut mixture over the phyllo, then top with 10 more sheets of phyllo and melted butter.
• Using a sharp knife, cut diagonally through the top phyllo layer from the top left corner to the bottom right corner. Cut top layer of phyllo into 1-inch-wide rows parallel to both sides of the first cut. Turn pan and cut rows about 2 1/4 inches wide, forming diamond pattern.
• Bake baklava until golden brown and crisp, 50-55 minutes. Drizzle syrup evenly over hot baklava. Cool in pan on rack. Recut baklava along lines all the way through layers. Baklava can be made two days ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.

Steps:

• Put all ingredients into a saucepan and heat slowly over low heat until sugar has dissolved. Increase heat and boil the syrup for 10 minutes.
• Cool and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. (Leave pods and zest in while storing, but strain before using).
