Categories: Pastas, Seafood, Masterchefs, Frisco, Chzm
Yield: 4 servings

7 tb Butter 4 oz Fish, filet of sole
2 lg Shallots, chopped 1 lg Egg
3 lb Frog legs 1/2 ea Lemon
14 oz Wine, white, dry 1 tb Oil, olive
Salt 1/2 lb Pasta, fresh
Pepper 1 bn Chives
3 c Cream, heavy

Frog Leg Sauce:
===============

In a saute pan, heat 2 tablespoons of butter. Saute the chopped
shallots in butter until they’re golden brown.

Add 1 1/2 pounds of frog legs, white wine, salt and pepper.
Cover and cook slowly for 10 minutes.

Strain the liquids from the mixture back into the saute pan.
Reserve the legs.

Replace strained stock in saute pan, add 1 cup of cream and
reduce by half. Set aside but keep warm.

Frog Legs:
==========

Debone the frog legs. Place the meat in a meat grinder or food
processor with the filet of sole and grind thoroughly.

Add egg, salt and pepper, and 1 cup of cream (adjust to
consistency and taste.) Process the mousseline and reserve.

Pasta:
======

Boil salted water, add olive oil and pasta. When pasta is al
dente, strain and cool under running water. Set aside.

Mousseline:
===========

Butter four ramekins or molds.

Put the mousseline into a pastry bag and squeeze it into the
molds, leaving a hole in the center of each mold.

Fill center with frog leg meat and top with mousseline. Tamp
gently to remove trapped air bubbles.

Place the molds onto a pan or tray in which you’ve poured about
an inch of water. On top of each mold, place a layer of buttered
parchment, (butter side down), then a layer of foil. Bake for 15
minutes at 400 F.

To Assemble:
============

To serve, saute pasta in 3 tablespoons of butter, adjust
seasoning, then layer on serving plates.

Remove mousseline from molds and place on pasta.

Bring the sauce to a boil, and add heavy cream to adjust
consistency if necessary. If sauce is too thick, thin with white
wine.

Add butter, lemon juice, salt and pepper.

Pour sauce over mousseline and sprinkle with chopped chives.

POACHED FOWL AND BACON WITH ‘PUDDING’

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Main Dish Chicken

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
4 lb Boiling fowl with
Neck and giblets
2 tb Finely chopped mixed fresh
Savory, parsley, hyssop and
Sage
Salt and pepper
1 1/2 lb Piece boiling bacon
2 c Strong dry cider
Extra herbs to garnish
Pudding
Neck, liver and heart
From the bird
1 t Of the herb mixture above
Salt and pepper
8 tb Soft white breadcrumbs
1 Egg beaten

This was a cheap and easy dish on which youngsters
could practise when learning to carve poultry. Ask a
kindly poulterer to cut off the bird’s head and to
supply the whole neck in its skin along with the
prepared bird and giblets. Mix the herbs together and
put a tablespoonful aside. Add a light seasoning of
salt and pepper to the rest and fill the mixture into
the body cavity of the bird. Stitch or skewer the
cavity openings securely. Truss the bird for boiling
and place it on a trivet in a stewpan which will also
hold the bacon and liquids. To prepare the neck, ease
the spine and surrounding flesh out of the skin as if
peeling off a stocking. Do not break the skin. Chop
the liver and heart finely and mix with half the
reserved herbs, a little seasoning and the
breadcrumbs. Bind with the egg. Fill this mixture into
the skin, allowing room for the bread to swell. Fasten
the ends of the sausage-shaped ‘pudding’ securely and
add to the pan. (If the skin is accidentally torn, or
is not supplied, you can make the stuffing into small
balls and fry or bake them, as an acceptable
substitute.) Mix the cider with 425 ml/15 fl oz/2 cups
water and heat until nearly boiling. Add the liquid to
the pan, put on a well-fitting lid and poach the bird
gently for 2-2 1/2 hours. Add the bacon piece after
30 minutes and the stuffed neck after a further 15
minutes. Top up the pan with extra boiling water then,
or later if needed. Test the bird for readiness after
2 hours by thrusting a thin skewer into the thickest
part of the thigh. The juices should run clear. A
smallish bird may be almost ready by this time, and
the bacon piece should be done. Take the bacon out,
with the ‘pudding’, and leave both to rest for 10-15
minutes. The slice both to serve as a garnish for the
poached bird. Scatter a few extra herb leaves over the
breast of the bird before serving. First stuff your
capons with saveray, With parsley, a little, hissop I
say; Then take the neck, remove the bone; And make a
pudding thereof at once With an egg and minced bread
also With hacked liver and heart thereto… Then boil
the capon, as I they say, With parsley, sage, hissop,
saveray… With slices of bacon embrawded here and
colour your broth with saffron dear… (Mrs
Groundes-Peace’s Old Cookery Notebook)

Categories : Cooking Live Import

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1 1/2 cup chicken stock
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
5 1/2 cups fresh corn (cut from about 3 ears)
3/4 cups heavy cream
1 tablespoon peanut oil
1 pound black mussels — scrubbed well and
— beards pulled off
1 red bell pepper — cut into 1/4-inch
— dice
1/4 cup freshly chopped flat leaf parsley

In a saucepan bring stock to a boil and add wine. Reduce heat to low
and keep liquid warm.

In a 2 quart heavy saucepan melt butter over moderately low heat and
whisk in flour. Cook roux, whisking, 3 minutes and add 1 cup stock
mixture, whisking vigorously until thick and smooth. Add remaining
stock mixture and bring to a boil, whisking. Simmer mixture,
uncovered, until reduced to 1 1/2 cups, about 5 minutes.

Add 3/4 cup of corn and simmer mixture 4 minutes. Force mixture

stir-fry mussels and bell pepper until coated well with oil, about 30
