LOIN OF LAMB WITH APPLE AND GINGER STUFFING (

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Irish Meats
Main dish

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
3 lb Loin of lamb, boned
2 Cloves garlic
Sea salt and pepper
2 c Cider (preferably hard)
2 Cooking apples
Juice of 1 lemon
1 t Sugar
1 t Ground ginger

First make the stuffing. Peel and core the apples,
slice thinly and put into a saucepan with the lemon
juice, sugar and ginger. Cook over a gentle heat
until the apples are just soft, then set aside to
cool. . Preheat the oven for 400 F. Trim the lamb,
remove the skin and score the fat. Lay the joint out
on a board, fat side down. Spoon the apple mixture
along the center. Roll up and tie with twine. Peel
the garlic and cut it into slivers, then pierce the
joint all over with the point of a sharp knife and
slip the slivers of garlic into the pockets formed.
Season with the salt and pepper, put the joint in a
roasting pan and cook in the hot oven for 30 minutes,
then heat the cider in a small pan and pour it over
the lamb. Reduce the heat to moderate (350F) and cook
for another 40 minutes, basting frequently. When the
lamb is cooked, put it onto a heated serving dish and
keep warm. Remove any excess fat from the pan juices,
boil up over a high heat until reduced slightly, and
serve with the sliced lamb.

RED LOBSTER’S CHEESY GARLIC ROLLS

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Breads Garlic

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
2 1/2 lb Baking mix (RL uses a
-specially made product, but
-Bisquick buttermilk baking
-mix is a decent substitute)
6 oz Grated mild cheddar cheese
21 oz Cold water

Mix together above ingredients (by hand, an electric
mixer will NOT work) until JUST combined –do not
overmix. Scoop with a 1 1/2 ounce scoop onto 2
parchment-lined baking sheets (20 per sheet), and bake
in a 450 convection oven for 4-5 minutes. Rotate the
sheets, and bake another 4-5 minutes. (Note, a
commercial convection oven cooks about 25 percent
faster than a home oven — for the same results,
increase the baking time somewhat, but be careful not
to overbrown the rolls, they should be a light golden
brown). Remove rolls from the oven, and brush with
garlic butter mixture (again, RL uses a proprietary
product, but you can make a decent imitation by adding
garlic powder, NOT salt) to taste, plus some
dehydrated parsley flakes to liquid margarine. Do not
add too much butter to the rolls, or the garlic flavor
will overpower the cheese. For variations, increase
the cheese to 8 oz. (better, and the way the Lobster
used to do it), or substitute about 5 oz. shredded
Parmesan (NOT the dried stuff that comes in a can) for
the cheddar. The Parmesan variation is excellent.
IMHO, better than the original. As a breakfast bread
(or snack for the cook), you may also add 4-5 slices
of crisp cooked bacon to this. In this case, brush
with regular liquid margarine instead of garlic butter.

ARROZ VERDE

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Mexican Rice

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
Jim Vorheis
1 1/2 c Unconverted long-grain rice
1/3 c Safflower oil, melted
-chicken fat, or melted lard
3 tb Finely chopped white onion
2 Chilies poblanos, charred,
-peeled, and cut in strips
4 c Chicken broth
1 Garlic clove, peeled and
-roughly chopped
1 c Firmly packed, roughly
-chopped flat-leaf parsley
1/2 c Firmly packed, roughly
-chopped epazote or cilantro
Sea salt to taste
Green Rice

Put the rice into a bowl and pour very hot water over to cover; stir and
set aside for 10 minutes. Drain in a strainer and rinse in cold water;
drain again and set aside.

Heat the oil in a heavy pan, stir the rice into it, and fry over fairly
high heat, stirring and scraping the bottom of the pan, for about 5
minutes. Add the onion and chile strips and continue frying for 4 minutes
or until the onion is translucent.

Meanwhile, put 1 cup of the broth into a blender jar; add the garlic,
parsley, and epazote and blend until smooth. Add this to the frying rice
and continue frying and reducing the puree over quite high heat, stirring
and scraping the bottom of the pan, until the rice is dry. Stir in the rest
of the broth, add salt to taste, and cook over fairly high heat, uncovered,
until the liquid has been absorbed and there are air holes in the rice.
Cover with a towel and lid and continue cooking over low heat for 5
minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside, still covered, in a warm
place for the rice to swell up. Before serving, turn the rice over with a
fork from the bottom where a lot of the flavor and oil will have settled.

Turn apple mixture into pastry-lined pie plate. Trim overhanging edge
of pastry 1/2 inch from rim of pie plate. Roll second round of
