  • FRENCH ONION SOUP – JARLSBERG

    Recipe By :
    Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00
    Categories : Soups

    Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
    ——– ———— ——————————–
    1/4 c Butter — light
    1 tb Fructose
    1 c Wine — white zinfandel
    1/2 ts Pepper, ground — fresh
    8 oz Jarlsberg cheese — sliced
    Paprika
    4 lg Onions — spanish or
    8 md Onions — vidalia
    1 tb Flour
    3 cn Beef broth
    1 Bread, french — dried
    1 c Parmesan cheese — grated
    1 c Swiss cheese — grated

    In a large, heavy dutch oven melt the light butter
    slowly. When melted, add the sliced onions, and
    fructose (normal table sugar may be used if desired.)
    Cover, and cook – stirring often – until the onions
    are tender but colorless.

    Take the top off the pan, turn the heat up to high –
    then cook the onions until the sugar caramalizes on
    them turning them a golden caramel color.

    Stir in the flour and make a roux. Blend well and
    cook over medium heat for three minutes until the
    starchy flavor of the flour is cooked out.

    Carefully add the wine and pepper to the onions while
    stirring over high heat until the mixture comes to a
    boil and thickens.

    Pour in the beef broth and bring to a boil. When the
    soup begins to boil, cover, reduce heat – and simmer
    for twenty minutes so the flavors have time to blend.

    To prepare for table, ladle the soup into small fire
    proof crocks or broiler safe bowls. Float slices of
    dried French bread in the bowls then add a 1/4 c of
    each of the grated cheeses, topping it all off with a
    slice of Jarlsberg cheese. Let the slices overlap the
    sides of the bowl slightly the toasted cheese that
    runs over the side is a delicacy for most french onion
    soup lovers! Place the crocks under your broiler and
    watch carefully as the cheese on top melts, bubbles
    and begins to turn a rich dark brown on top of the
    bubbles.

    When you see the bubbles browing – your done. Enjoy!

    Curried Goat (smoked)

    Recipe

    Title: CURRIED GOAT (SMOKED)
    Categories: Main dish, Game
    Yield: 14 servings

    1 Goat; around 25 pounds,
    -quartered

    ——————————–CURRY PASTE——————————–
    4 md Onions; chunked
    3/4 c Curry powder
    1 Whole *bulb* garlic; peeled
    1 tb Salt
    1 To 2 fresh Habaneros -OR-
    1 Scotch Bonnet chiles; minced
    -OR-
    4 To 5 fresh Jalapenos; minced
    1 c Oil; pref. canola or corn

    —————————-CURRY MOP (OPTIONAL—————————-
    2 c Chicken or beef stock or
    -beer
    2 c Cider vinegar
    1 1/2 c Oil (corn or canola)
    1 c Water
    2 tb Curry powder
    Your Favorite Barbecue sauce

    NOTE: Be CAREFUL when handling Habaneros or Scotch Bonnets!

    The night before you plan to barbecue, prepare the paste in a food
    processor. First process the onions, curry, garlic, salt and habaneros
    until finely chopped. Then add the oil, processing until the mixture forms
    a thick paste. This can be done in two batches if needed.

    Wearing rubber gloves, rub the paste over the goat, covering the meat
    evenly. Place the goat in a plastic bag and refrigerate overnight.

    Before you begin to barbecue, remove the goat from the refrigerator and
    let it sit, covered, at room temperature for 45 minutes.

    Prepare the smoker for barbecuing, bringing the temperature to 200 to
    220 degrees F.

    If you plan to baste the meat…mix together the mop ingredients in a
    saucepan and warm the liquid over low heat.

    Transfer the goat to the smoker. Cook for about 1-1/4 hours per pound of
    weight for each quarter. The forequarters will be done earlier than the
    hindquarters, which may take 10 hours or longer, depending on size. In a
    wood-burning pit, turn the meat and drizzle the mop over it every 30
    minutes. In other styles of smokers, baste as appropriate and turn the meat
    at the same time.

    When the meat is done, remove it from the smoker, and allow it to sit
    for 15 minutes before serving. Slice or shred the meat and serve with…
    [your favorite barbecue sauce].
