Categories : New Text Import

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
6 pounds tripe — cut in 1-inch pieces
1 gallon water
2 medium onions — chopped
2 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 ancho chiles
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro leaves
7 cups hominy, yellow — cooked
lime wedges — for garnish

For starters, you must place the tripe, water, onions, garlic,
salt, and pepper in a large kettle and let it simmer over low heat for
about two hours, skimming fat as necessary. Next, you must toast the
chiles well. Then you slit them open and remove the seeds and veins. You
must grind them until they are very fine and then you add them to the
kettle. Continuing, you can add the cilantro and let it simmer for about
two hours. At last, you can add the hominy and cook for another thirty
minutes. Finally, it is a good idea to serve with lime wedges. This
recipe will serve from ten to about twelve people

For some time now, my favorite Mexican food has been Menudo.
The first time I was introduced to it, was at my grandmother’s house.
She lives in Oaxaca, Mexico.
My parents don’t really like to go visit my grandmother,
because she tends to be very irritable. But when my parents actually
decide to go for a visit, we really have a good time.
My quinceanera was very near and my grandmother decided it
was about time that I learned how to cook. Of course, my grandmother
also decided that she was the one who was to teach me all I needed to
know. I felt like that was a very good idea since she is a very good
cook.
She took me to the kitchen and told me that the first thing
I was to be taught was how to make my grandfather’s favorite food

2 med sweet potatoes (1/2 lb)
8 dried apricot halves
1/4 Cup raisins
1/2 Cup cranberries
1-1/2 Cups light soymilk, plain
2 Tbsp rice flour or cornstarch
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp ground ginger
dash ground cloves

Steam sweet potato until just tender. Peel and cut into 1/2
inch pieces. Cut each dried apricot half into 8 or 10 pieces.
Put sweet potato, apricot pieces, raisins, and cranberries into
a medium sized bowl.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a 4 cup casserole dish
with non-stick cooking spray.
In a small saucepan, heat soymilk to steaming. Reduce heat
to low. Remove several Tbsp. of milk to a small bowl and mix
in the rice flour. Stir rice flour paste into soymilk. Cook,
stirring constantly, until sauce thickens enough to coat the
back of a spoon.
Fold sauce into potato and fruit mixture. Spoon into
prepared casserole and bake 30 minutes.

Mushroom Soup

Recipe By : Cuisine Magazine
Serving Size : 8 Preparation Time :40:00
Categories : Soups Stews

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
4 Tablespoons butter — unsaled
2 cups shiitake mushrooms — coarsely Chopped
2 cups crimini mushrooms — coarsely Chopped
2 cups button mushrooms — coarsely Chopped
1 cup leek white part only — chopped
1 cup kale — chopped
2 cups wild rice — cooked
2 cloves garlic — minced
2 cups chicken broth
2 cups half and half
2 Tablespoons chives fresh optional — chopped
2 Tablespoons parsley fresh optional — chopped
salt and white pepper to taste
4 Tablespoons all-purpose flour

Saute the mushroom, leeks and kale in 4 Tbsp. butter ( 5 minutes).
Add garlic and wild rice. Saute until you start to smell the garlic cooking.
Add the flour, thoroughly stirring it into the mushroom mixture. This
combination of butter and flour is called a roux (roo).
The mixture will become thick and lumpy. Don’t be alarmed. Just keep
stirring and cooking to remove the starchy taste from the flour. This will
take about 3 minutes.
Slowly add the chicken stock and half-and-half. Use a whip to blend the
liquids and ensure a smooth, creamy texture. As it heats, the roux thickens
the soup. When the soup is smooth and hot, add the chives and parsley.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. For an even richer soup, stir in 1
Tbsp. of butter.

Title: Cheese Pasta Roll with Tomato Sauce
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.
