Earlier this year, I found myself on a blog where they were discussing air fryers. I had never heard of these, so I read about them in the blog, along with reviews of various brands. I did some outside research on them, and they appeared to provide a lower-fat and lower-mess way of making some of my favorite deep-fried foods. After I got it, I got some cookbooks for air fryers. These are almost-new releases, as air fryers have not been on the market very long, at the time of this writing, 2017. There are various accessories that go with them. I have a 1 liter cake pan with mine.
An air fryer is essentially a tiny convection oven, using a very strong fan to circulate air, as to evenly cook the food, much as it would come out if deep-fried. Knowing this, you can make many other things in it. Indeed, it's a handly little kitchen gadget, uses less energy to bake or fry, and does not heat up the house as much as using the range. Also, it preheats in 1 or 2 minutes. This recipe was inspired by the "Kidney Beans and Tuna Fish", "Carrots and Tuna Fish Recipe" and "Delicious Talapia Recipe" from the Air Fryer Cookbook: 500 Super Easy, Short and Really Fast Air Fryer Recipes for Busy People by Heather Perkins (2017). I combined elements from these recipes, using the items I had. My husband's reaction to the first bite was, "MMMMMM. It's almost like an orgasm on my tongue! I felt it all the way to my feet!" While I would not go that far, this was delicious! I suspect that this could be made in a reguar oven or stovetop. It would have to be stirred frequently to avoid burning or drying-out, and probably cooked longer. |
