Chocolate Strawberry Bread Mediterranean Style Recipes

Steps:

• Add 1/8 C of the sugar to the strawberries and let stand while combining other ingredients.
• Beat the remaining sugar, eggs, oil, and yogurt together.
• Stir in the pistachio nuts - I ground mine almost to a powder in the food processor.
• Sift together the flour, soda, salt and cinnamon and stir into the sugar mixture.
• Stir in the vanilla, dates and the standing strawberries with any juice.
• Lastly, stir in the melted chocolate.
• Pour the mixture into a loaf pan sprayed with non-stick spray.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the bread until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Spread the butter over the toasts. Arrange the sliced strawberries over the toasts. Sprinkle the strawberries with the sugar. Broil until the sugar begins to caramelize, about 2 minutes.

Steps:

• Cut a strip of baking parchment and leave to one side. To melt the dark chocolate, fill a small pan with 2cm water and bring to a simmer. Put the chocolate in a heatproof bowl and rest it on top of the pan, ensuring the bowl isn't touching the water. Stir the chocolate to gradually melt it. Or, melt the chocolate in 20 second blasts in the microwave, stirring after each blast until melted. Put the melted chocolate in a small deep bowl.
• Gently hold the strawberries by the leafy top and dip into the chocolate. Tap off any excess chocolate and put on the parchment to set. If you have any leftover chocolate, pour it onto another strip of parchment and leave it to set, it can be used again.
• If you'd like to decorate the strawberries, melt the white and milk chocolate and drizzle lightly over the fruit.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
• Whisk flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt together in a large bowl.
• Mix bananas, strawberries, both sugars, oil, chocolate chips, and eggs together in a medium bowl. Add to flour mixture and mix until well combined. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour.

Steps:

• Place chocolate in a bowl set over (not in) a saucepan of simmering water. Stir occasionally, until melted, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Line a baking sheet with waxed paper. One at a time, dip each strawberry in chocolate, twirling to coat; then sprinkle chocolate-covered portion with pistachios, if using, and place on waxed paper.
• Chill chocolate-dipped strawberries at least 15 minutes to set chocolate. (Strawberries should not be stored in refrigerator longer than 1 hour as condensation drops may collect on the chocolate.)
