What To Do With Lemon Curd

If you’re asking yourself how to use up all that creamy lemon curd you have made in your Thermomix then look no further. Here’s a list of ideas to help you. You might need another batch for all these lemon curd uses.

Lemon Curd Uses:

1. The most popular recipe would have to be lemon meringue pie with its flakey butter pastry, filled with lemon curd and topped with a thick and golden meringue. If you are a huge meringue fan then you will also have to check out this list of creative ideas for lemon meringue desserts.

2. Not a huge tart fan? Why not swap the base for a soft sponge cake. This delicate soft and fluffy cake will be livened up topped with the curd and meringue. You could even use the curd in the middle of two sponge cakes. Delicious.

3. Try making these biscuits and using the lemon curd instead of jam for a bit more zing to the flavour.
4. What better flavour combination would lemon curd have than with a cheesecake. Baked or not either version would work well together.
5. Why not use it in a lemon trifle? Just swap out the custard for the curd and you have another winning dessert to share with your guests.

6. Have you every tried it stirred into your favourite vanilla ice cream. Even add some fresh berries for good measure.
7. Lemon curd is the perfect topping on a pavlova. Add a little whipped cream and berries to make it a little more fancy.
8. Adding lemon curd to a tart shell with some berries may seem simple but its a true crowd pleaser too.

9. Try adding some to your morning waffles, crepes, pikletes or pancakes.
10. Don’t forget you could always make mini tarts. They are a little more delicate but still extremely impressive in flavour.

11. Keeping it a little more simple by cutting up some fruit, topped with yoghurt and a spoonful of the lemon curd. Easy, filling and satisfying.
12. If all else fails, you can of course just eat it by the spoonful as well!

Not only is the recipe easy as but there are endless ways to use lemon curd as well. Check out my list here for some ideas.

Lemon Curd

INGREDIENTS

100g white sugar

220g lemon juice, freshly squeezed from about 4 lemons

65g unsalted butter, cubed

6 eggs

STEPS

1. Place sugar (100g), lemon juice (220g), butter (65g) and eggs (6) into mixing bowl, then cook 12 min/80°C/speed 4.
2. Pour into a container and allow to cool.
3. Once cool cover and refrigerate.

Allow the mixture to cool and set before using. It is best put into tarts once it is cold. If using small tart cases put the curd into a piping bag to be able to squeeze into the cases.

The best Greek soup you must have everyday – cheats version

by Leave a Comment

What could possibly be the best Greek soup that you MUST have everyday? Well, you’ve probably heard of the Greek soup avgolemono? It’s a chicken soup that’s made from boiling chicken legs or a whole chicken. It’s finished off with a few beaten eggs and a heap of lemon. If you’re Greek you’ll know that this is a traditional soup eaten at Easter to break the fast. You’ll also know that its the soup your Yiayia (grandma) or Mum will make and bring to you when you are not well. How wise they are to know what our bodies are really needing when we are unwell.

Avgolemono is a soup made by slow cooking some meat on the bone. The key is to make sure the bones are included as that is where you get the nourishing benefits from. It’s cooked for a short time and supercharged with eggs and lemon. Really its the ultimate healing soup when you think about it.

Why you should include this soup into your day

Have you every consider the way this is made is exactly how the “new age” stock or broth is made? Surely you’ve heard all the hype about drinking broth and how beneficial it is to make your own stock. The vitamins, minerals, digestive benefits, improvement in sleep, brain health, inflammations and so much more are well documented. Those benefits alone should be enough to encourage you to include more into your day!

broth or stock jars

The problem is, how many of us have the time to make avgolemono every day? Well I want to solve that problem for you as THIS is the soup you SHOULD definitely be adding to your daily menu. If you want to make it the traditional way, by all means check out the free recipe: Avgolemono Thermomix Recipe. The way I like to do it is by using my homemade broth or stock to make a cheats version.

Cheats Avgolemono Egg Lemon Broth Soup

    avgolemono soup

    Firstly, yes you will need to make or have some type of liquid stock or broth you can use. This is ultimately the superpower of the dish so don’t skip this step. I highly encourage you to make it yourself as you will get so much more flavour and nutrition from it.

    Take 200g of that broth and warm it in the Thermomix if not yet warm for 3 minutes/90 degrees/speed 2.

    Add fresh lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste. For a mild amount use 20g and 50g for a real kick. Start blending on speed 4. Whilst it is blending add 1 egg through the measuring cup and continue to blend for 30 seconds. If you want it really frothy but the measuring cup back on and blend it on speed 5.

    Pour it into a large mug and enjoy your quick cup of nourishing soupa. Can I go as far as saying that it’s better then the traditional soup? Only because it means that I have one bowl to wash.

      There are just so many benefits of adding a soup like this to your day. If lemon and egg soup is not your style, check out the other ways to use your broth and stock.
