Charlie's rye bread

For 2 loaves, you will need: 800g rye flour 1 portion (from your last baking) sourdough starter* 4 tsp sea salt 600 g cracked rye seeds 1,3 dl water 1 tbsp honey 10 g yeast * If this is the first time you've baked rye bread, you're unlikely to have a portion of a sourdough starter from 'your last baking'. Here is Aarstiderne's recipe for a sourdough starter: Mix 1½ dl yoghurt with 100g rye flour and a pinch of salt and leave it in a warm place for 1-2 days. It should start to smell sour and bubble slightly. This is the starter. To make the bread: Stir the yeast into the water in a large bowl. Add the sourdough starter and the other ingredients. The consistency should be like solid, thick porridge. Set aside a lump of this mixture to be the starter for the next time you bake and pour the rest of the dough into two large bread tins. Cover the tins with a clean cloth and leave the dough to rise for 4-6 hours. Bake at 160 ºC for 2 hours.

Durum wheat bread with pumpkinseeds For 2 loaves, you will need: 100 g pumpkin seeds 400 g sifted spelt flour 20 g salt 1 l water 500 g durum wheat 10 g yeast Stir the yeast into the water. Add the durum flour and stir well. Stir in the salt and half of the sifted spelt flour. Add the pumpkinseeds and then the rest of the flour. Leave the dough to rise, covered in the fridge overnight. The following day, take the dough out of the fridge a couple of hours before baking. Place a baking sheet or stone in the oven and set it to 250 degrees. Dust your hands and a work surface well with flour and turn the dough out onto the dusted surface. Divide it into 2 equal loves with a knife (do not knock the dough back). Place the loaves onto the pre-heated baking sheet or stone and bake them for 10 minutes at 250 degrees. Then lower the oven temperature to 200 degrees and bake for a further 25-30 minutes, until they sound hollow when you tap the bottom. Place the loaves on a rack to cool slightly before slicing. Slow rise spelt bread For 2 loaves, you will need: 500 g unsifted spelt flour 2 tbsp salt 500 g flour (hvedemel) 8 dl water 2 tbsp honey 10 g yeast Dissolve the yeast in the water and stir in the spelt flour, honey and salt. Mix in the hvedemel to make a batter - it shouldn't be solid but rather the consistency of porridge. Pour the batter into 2 greased bread tins. Each should be half full leaving space for the dough to rise. Place the tins in the fridge for 12-24 hours. Remove the tins from the fridge and bake at 200 degrees for about 45 minutes. Take the loaves out of the tins and tap them on the bottom - they should sound hollow. Let the bread cool slightly before slicing. Tip - you can add different nuts or seeds to the dough. Spices and herbs also taste good in this bread.

Creamy Pearl Barley Risotto and pan fried Duck

You will need:

1/2 head of lettuce 200g Jerusalem Artichokes Vinegar 1 container cream chese 300g soaked Pearl Barley 2 clementines 1/2 bottle crushed tomatoes 1-2 red onions 4 confit duck legs 1/2 bunch parsley 1 tray of Oyster mushrooms 3 cloves of garlic salt and pepper Pre-heat oven to 200° C Rinse/scrub and chop the Jerusalem artichokes into small cubes. Chop garlic and cut mushrooms into smaller pieces - discard the root of the mushroom. Slice onions. Pearl Barley Risotto Rinse the pearl barley in cold water. Saute onion, garlic and Jerusalem artichokes in olive oil briefly. They must not take color. Add the barley and cook together. Add 4 dl of water and the bottle of crushed tomatoes and let boil for 10-15 minutes, covered.  *This is when you should start on the duck. Add a little more water if necessary. When the pearl barley has boiled for 10-15 minutes, add 2-3 tablespoons creme cheese and chopped parsley, mix and season with salt and pepper. Duck Add the duck and a couple of whole cloves of garlic to a cold pan, raise the heat and allow to cook until golden - 3-4 minutes. If it looks too dry, add a bit of oil. Add the mushrooms and cook in the duck fat. Cook for 1 minute, turn the duck, add 2 dl water, so there is some liquid surrounding the mushrooms and place the pan in the oven for about 5 minutes. If your pan is not ovenproof, move to ovenproof dish and place in oven. Green salad with clementines Wash and tear lettuce into smaller pieces. Peel and cube (small) one of the clementines. Finely slice one red onion. Squeeze the juice of the other clementine and mix with a little oil, salt, pepper and perhaps a little vinegar. Toss salad before serving. Serve the duck with the mushrooms, the creamy risotto and the crisp green salad.
