    Categories: Pastas, Cheeses, Masterchefs, Frisco, Tfr
    Yield: 8 servings

    ——————————–TOMATO SAUCE——————————–
    1 lb Tomatoes Bouquet garni **
    2 tb Butter Salt (to taste)
    2 ea Shallots, peeled, minced Pepper (to taste)

    ———————————PASTA ROLL———————————
    2 tb Butter 1/2 ts Pepper, black
    1/2 c Ham, smoked, diced 2 ea Pasta, spinach, sheets
    4 ea Scallions, minced — ( 12 x 4 inches ea. )
    8 oz Cheese, cream, softened 1/2 lb Prosciutto, sliced
    1/4 c Cheese, Parmesan, grated — 1/4-inch thick
    1/2 c Cheese, Ricotta 1 ga Stock, chicken
    2 lg Eggs Chives, chopped

    ** Bouquet garni is a cheesecloth bag (or some other porous
    material) in which you’ve put some rosemary, thyme, bay leaf, and
    crushed peppercorns. There is no rule for how much of each you’d use.

    Tomato Sauce:
    =============

    To prepare the tomatoes, drop them briefly into boiling water,
    then remove and plunge them into cold water and peel.

    Remove the seeds and chop the tomatoes.

    Melt butter in a saute pan and add minced shallots. Saute,
    covered, for 5 minutes over low heat. Add tomatoes and bouquet garni.
    Season to taste. Cook covered over medium heat for 30 minutes.

    Remove shallots and bouquet garni, then puree. Reserve sauce.

    Pasta Roll:
    ===========

    In a saute pan, melt the butter and add the diced ham and
    scallions. Cook over medium heat for about 2 minutes until scallions
    are soft.

    Beat the cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, Ricotta cheese, and
    pepper together until smooth.

    Add the sauteed ham and scallions to the cheese mixture; then add
    eggs, and mix well. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 – 3 hours.

    Spread half of the filling on one of the pasta sheets – leaving a
    half-inch border around the edges. Brush the border with a little
    melted butter.

    Place a layer of sliced Prosciutto to cover the filling mixture
    then beginning at one of the short ends of the pasta, roll it up. Do
    not roll too loosely or the poaching liquid may seep into the
    cheese/meat mixture.

    Wrap roll in a double thickness of cheesecloth and tie each end
    securely with string.

    Repeat for second pasta sheet.

    Fill a large saute pan with chicken stock. Bring the stock to a
    boil and add pasta rolls. Reduce the heat to simmer and cook gently,
    turning occasionally, for 25 minutes.

    Drain and cool before removing string and cheesecloth. Cut each
    roll in half-inch thick slices. Pour some of the tomato sauce into a
    pool on the bottom of individual serving plates and arrange the slices
    on the plates.

    Garnish with chopped chives. Serve warm or at room temperature.

  • Title: Ben And Jerry’s Fresh Georgia Peach Ice Cream
    Categories: Desserts
    Yield: 1 servings

    MMMMM——————–MARGE NEMATH GNFK05B————————-
    2 c Finely chopped ripe peaches
    1 1/4 c Sugar
    1/2 Juice of lemon
    2 Eggs
    2 c Whipping cream
    1 c Milk

    Ben and Jerry prefer small peaches because they have more flavor and
    less water than the larger ones. Combine the peaches, 1/2 cup of the
    sugar, and the lemon juice in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate for 2
    hours, stirring the mixture every 30 minutes. Remove the peaches from
    the refrigerator and drain the juice into another bowl. Return the
    peaches to the refrigerator. Whisk the eggs in a mIxing bowl until
    light and fluffy, 1-2 minutes. Whisk in the remaining 3/4 cup sugar,
    a little at a time, then continue whisking until completely blended,
    about 1 minute more. Pour in the cream and milk and whisk to blend.
    Add the peach juice and blend. Transfer the mixture to an ice cream
    maker and freeze following manufacturer’s instructions. After the ice
    cream stiffens (about 2 minutes before it is done) add the peaches,
    then continue freezing until the ice cream is ready. Makes 1 generous
    quart. Originally posted by Marge Nemeth GNFK05B

    3 tb Vegetable oil
    1 Finely sliced celery stalk
    1 sm Head cabbage finely diced
    3 Finely diced large onions
    1 pk (8-oz) finely diced fresh
    Mushrooms
    Soy sauce to taste
    Salt and pepper
    1 lb Bean sprouts thoroughly
    Cleaned
    Egg roll wrappers
    1 Lightly beaten egg white
    Vegetable oil for frying

    MMMMM———————–DIPPING SAUCE—————————-
    1/2 c Soy sauce
    1 ts Dry mustard
    3 ts Garlic powder
    1 ts Vinegar
    1 ts Brown sugar

    Mix together, soy sauce, water, garlic and lemon juice. Add the

    in the two outside corners. Roll closed, sealing shut with a bit of
    egg white. Put oil in a wok or large pan to a depth of about 2 inches

    Categories: Chinese, Meats
    Yield: 8 servings

    Stephen Ceideburg
    8 c To 10 cups water
    1 1/2 lb Boneless leg of pork, pork
    -butt or loin
    2 Green onions, crushed
    3 Quarter-sized slices fresh
    -ginger, crushed
    2 Garlic cloves, crushed
    1/4 c Shao-Hsing rice wine, or dry
    -sherry
    Fresh coriander sprigs for
    -garnish
    GARLIC SESAME SAUCE:
    1 ts Finely minced garlic (about
    -2 small cloves)
    1/2 ts Fresh minced ginger (about 2
    -quarter-sized slices)
    1 tb Dark soy sauce
    1 tb Light soy sauce
    1/2 ts Hot pepper oil, or to taste
    1 ts Asian sesame oil
    1 1/2 ts Sugar
    2 ts Rice vinegar
    2 tb Minced fresh coriander or
    -green onion

    Fresh ham or a fairly fat cut of pork is traditionally
    used for this recipe, but boneless lean pork loin
    makes a delicious and leaner substitute. For a
    nontraditional presentation, serve the pork with
    grilled asparagus spears, Asian eggplant and/or
    zucchini slices. Or, arrange the slices on a bed of
    watercress with strips of roasted pepper and serve as
    a first course salad. Or, simply alternate the pork
    with thin rounds of chilled cucum- ber.

    Bring the water to a boil in a large pot, then add the
    pork, green onions, ginger, garlic and wine. Bring to
    a boil again. Skim off the scum that rises to surface.
    Cover, reduce heat low and simmer for 45 minutes.

    When the meat is done, half fill a large pan with cold
    water and ice cubes. Remove the meat from the pot and
    immediately plunge it into the ice water; let sit for
    20 minutes to firm up the meat and juices. Remove
    pork, pat dry, cover and refrigerate until thoroughly
    chilled, at least 2 to 3 hours, or overnight.

    Garlic Sesame Sauce: Mix together all ingredients.

    To serve: Cut the meat crosswise into paper-thin
    slices (no thicker than 1/8 inch) and arrange in a
    circular pattern on a plate. Serve sauce on the side
    or drizzle it over the pork. Garnish with fresh
    coriander eaves.

    carbohydrate, 6 g fat (2 g saturated), 41 mg
