my mother's brisket

Serves 8 to 10.

Ingredients

a 5- to 6-pound first-cut beef brisket
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 large yellow onions, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 5 cups
 or 3 pounds)
2 or 3 large garlic cloves, or to taste, minced
1 teaspoon paprika, preferably Hungarian 
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper 

Directions

Preheat oven to 375°F. In a Dutch oven or other heavy baking pan large enough 
to hold brisket heat 1 tablespoon oil in oven 10 minutes. Pat brisket dry and 
season with salt and pepper. Roast brisket in pan, uncovered, 30 minutes. While 
brisket is roasting, in a large heavy skillet cook onions in remaining 2 
tablespoons oil over moderately high heat, stirring, until softened and 
beginning to turn golden. Reduce heat and cook onions, stirring occasionally 
and reducing heat if necessary, until deep golden, about 20 minutes more. Stir 
in garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper and cook 1 minute. Stir in 3 cups water 
and bring to a boil. Spoon onion mixture over brisket and bake, covered, with 
lid 1/2 inch ajar, 3 1/2 hours, or until brisket is tender. (Check pan every 
hour and if necessary add more water.) Remove brisket from oven and let cool in 
onion mixture 1 hour. Remove brisket from pan, scraping onion mixture back into 
pan, and chill, wrapped in foil,
 overnight. Spoon onion mixture into a 1-quart measure and chill, covered, 
overnight. 
Preheat oven to 350°F. Discard fat from onion mixture, add enough water to 
mixture to measure 3 cups total, and in a blender blend gravy until smooth. 
Slice brisket against the grain (thick or thin, as you prefer). In a large 
ovenproof skillet heat gravy until hot, add brisket, and heat in oven 30 
minutes.

Awesome Sausage, Apple and Cranberry Stuffing 

"This Thanksgiving stuffing is fantastic! It is very flavorful and 
fresh-tasting. This recipe will stuff a 10-pound turkey (which serves six) plus 
extra. I replaced the usual pork sausage with much healthier turkey sausage. 
Other dried fruits may also be used in place of cranberries."

PREP TIME 15 Min 
COOK TIME 25 Min 
READY IN 1 Hr 40 Min 
SERVINGS & SCALING
Original recipe yield: 10 servings


INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 cups cubed whole wheat bread 
3 3/4 cups cubed white bread 
1 pound ground turkey sausage 
1 cup chopped onion 
3/4 cup chopped celery 
2 1/2 teaspoons dried sage 
1 1/2 teaspoons dried rosemary 
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme 
1 Golden Delicious apple, cored and chopped 
3/4 cup dried cranberries 
1/3 cup minced fresh parsley 
1 cooked turkey liver, finely chopped 
3/4 cup turkey stock 
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted 
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degree F (175 degree C). Spread the white and whole wheat 
bread cubes in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Bake for 5 to 7 minutes 
in the preheated oven, or until evenly toasted. Transfer toasted bread cubes to 
a large bowl. 
In a large skillet, cook the sausage and onions over medium heat, stirring and 
breaking up the lumps until evenly browned. Add the celery, sage, rosemary, and 
thyme; cook, stirring, for 2 minutes to blend flavors. 
Pour sausage mixture over bread in bowl. Mix in chopped apples, dried 
cranberries, parsley, and liver. Drizzle with turkey stock and melted butter, 
and mix lightly. Spoon into turkey to loosely fill.

6-7 slices of bread, cubed

Combine butter and sugar; add eggs, unbeaten. Stir in drained pineapple, then

peanut butter
1 (16-ounce) tub of prepared frosting
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon extract of your choice
3/4 cup nuts of your choice

Irish Coffee Creme Caramel 

Makes 4 servings

RECIPE INGREDIENTS

1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 cup strong black coffee
3 tablespoons Irish whiskey
2 cups whole milk
1 tablespoon instant coffee powder
2 large eggs
2 large egg yolks

Coffee Caramel Sauce

Whipped cream (optional)




RECIPE METHOD

Stir 1/2 cup sugar and coffee in heavy small saucepan over medium-high heat 
until syrupy, about 8 minutes. Stir in 1 tablespoon whiskey. Divide mixture 
equally among six 4-ounce ramekins or custard cups. Refrigerate until caramel 
hardens slightly, about 15 minutes.

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Combine milk and instant coffee in heavy medium 
saucepan. Bring to boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Whisk eggs, 
egg yolks, remaining 2 tablespoons whiskey and remaining 1 tablespoon sugar in 
medium bowl to blend. Gradually whisk in hot milk mixture.

Arrange prepared ramekins in roasting pan. Ladle custard into ramekins. Add 
enough hot water to pan to come halfway up sides of ramekins. Bake until 
custard is firm around edges and almost set in center, about 55 minutes. 
Transfer ramekins to rack and cool. Cover and refrigerate until cold, at least 
4 hours or up to 1 day.

Run small sharp knife around custards to loosen.. Invert custards onto 
individual dessert dishes. Drizzle Coffee Caramel Sauce around custards. 
Garnish with whipped cream and serve.

Lemon Biscotti with Sour Lemon Drizzle

Ingredients
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour 
1 cup sugar 
2 teaspoons baking powder 
1 tablespoon grated lemon rind 
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, divided 
1 tablespoon lemon extract 
1 tablespoon vegetable oil 
3 large eggs 
 Cooking spray 
2/3 cup powdered sugar 

Preparation
Preheat oven to 350°. Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a 
knife. Combine flour, sugar, and baking powder in a large bowl. Combine rind, 1 
tablespoon lemon juice, extract, oil, and eggs, and add to flour mixture, 
stirring until well-blended (dough will be dry and crumbly). Turn dough out 
onto a lightly floured surface; knead lightly 7 to 8 times. Divide dough in 
half. Shape each portion into an 8-inch-long roll. Place rolls 6 inches apart 
on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray; flatten each roll to 1-inch 
thickness. Bake at 350° for 30 minutes. Remove the rolls from baking sheet; 
cool for 10 minutes on a wire rack.. Cut each roll diagonally into 15 
(1/2-inch) slices. Place the slices, cut sides down, on baking sheet. Reduce 
oven temperature to 325°; bake for 10 minutes. Turn cookies over; bake an 
additional 10 minutes (the cookies will be slightly soft in center but will 
harden as they cool). Remove from baking sheet, and cool
 completely on wire rack. Combine 1 tablespoon lemon juice and powdered sugar, 
and drizzle over the biscotti. 
Yield
2 1/2 dozen (serving size: 1 biscotto)

Free Recipes Apple-Almond Deep Dish Pie

2007-11-03 Thread Rhonda Gray
>From That's My Home website...

~

Apple-Almond Deep Dish Pie

Almond Crust
1 1/2 c Flour 
2 tb Sugar 
1/2 t Salt 
1/4 c Almonds fine-ground
1/4 c Unsalted butter, cold cut in pieces
1/4 c Solid vegetable shortening 
1/8 t Almond extract 
2 tb Cold milk or as needed

Filling
8 c Apples sliced and peeled
1/2 c Sugar 
3 tb Unsalted butter cut in bits
3 tb Cider, applejack, or brandy 
Cream optional

ALMOND CRUST: In a mixing bowl or food processor, cut together the flour, 
sugar, salt, ground almonds, butter, and shortening until crumbled to the size 
of peas. Mix the almond extract with 1 Tbs of the milk; stir this into the 
crumbled mixture. Add just enough additional cold milk to hold the dough 
together. Gather the dough into a ball; flatten into a disk, wrap in plastic, 
and chill at least 1 hour.

FILLING: In a mixing bowl, toss together the apple slices, sugar, and butter. 
Transfer the mixture to a deep 9 1/2-inch pie dish, mounding the apples in the 
center.

Preheat the oven to 425° F. Roll out the almond dough on a lightly floured 
surface to a neat 12-inch round. Fold the dough in half and quickly but gently 
transfer it to the pie dish, unfolding it over the apples. Roll the overhanging 
edges of the pastry up and over toward the surface, forming a thick border 
around the edges of the dough. Flute the edges and cut several slashes in the 
center of the dough.

Bake the pie for 15 mins; then lower the heat to 350¼F and continue to bake 
until the pastry is nicely golden and the apples are tender when checked with a 
fork, 35 to 40 mins longer. 

Remove the pie from the oven. Using a funnel, pour the cider, applejack, or 
brandy through one of the steam vents in the pastry. Cool the pie on a wire 
rack; then serve warm or at room temperature in deep bowls, passing a pitcher 
of cream separately, if you like.

roast turkey with herb butter and caramelized onion-balsamic gravy

Servings: Serves 8 to 10

Ingredients

For turkey
1 16- to 18-pound turkey, neck and giblets reserved for gravy
Fresh rosemary sprigs (optional)
Fresh sage sprigs (optional)
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) butter
3 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
3 tablespoons chopped fresh sage
1 1/2 tablespoons grated orange peel
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
4 teaspoons salt 

For gravy
5 1/2 cups (or more) canned low-salt chicken broth
1 onion, quartered
1 bay leaf 

6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) butter
2 large onions, halved, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon chopped fresh sage
1/3 cup all purpose flour 

1/2 cup balsamic vinegar

Directions

Make turkey:
Preheat oven to 325°F. Rinse turkey inside and out; pat dry. Place on rack in 
roasting pan. Sprinkle cavities with salt and pepper. If not stuffing turkey, 
place rosemary and sage sprigs in main cavity. If stuffing turkey, spoon 
stuffing loosely into main cavity. Melt butter in saucepan. Mix in chopped 
rosemary, sage, orange peel, pepper and salt. Brush herb butter over turkey. 
Tuck wing tips under turkey; tie legs together to hold shape. Roast turkey 1 
hour. Baste with pan juices. Continue roasting turkey until thermometer 
inserted into thigh registers 180°F, basting every 20 minutes, about 2 3/4 
hours longer if unstuffed or about 3 1/4 hours longer if stuffed. 

Meanwhile, prepare gravy:
Combine turkey neck and giblets, 5 1/2 cups broth, quartered onion and bay leaf 
in saucepan. Simmer until reduced to 3 cups liquid, skimming occasionally, 
about 1 hour. Strain turkey stock. Melt butter in large skillet over 
medium-high heat. Add sliced onions; sauté 10 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon 
rosemary and 1 tablespoon sage and sauté until onions are golden, about 10 
minutes. Add flour; stir 1 minute. Gradually whisk in turkey stock. Boil until 
gravy thickens, stirring often, about 3 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon each rosemary 
and sage. Transfer turkey to platter. Tent with foil. Pour juices from pan into 
large glass measuring cup; spoon off fat. Add juices to gravy. Add vinegar to 
roasting pan. Bring vinegar to simmer over medium heat, scraping up browned 
bits. Pour mixture into heavy small saucepan. Boil until reduced to 1/4 cup, 
about 3 minutes; add to gravy. Rewarm gravy; thin with more chicken broth, if 
desired. Season with salt and pepper.

Kitty Litter Cake 

SERVINGS & SCALING
Original recipe yield: 20 servings


INGREDIENTS
1 (18.25 ounce) package German chocolate cake mix 
1 (18.25 ounce) package white cake mix 
2 (3.5 ounce) packages instant vanilla pudding mix 
1 (12 ounce) package vanilla sandwich cookies 
3 drops green food coloring 
1 (12 ounce) package tootsie rolls 
DIRECTIONS
Prepare cake mixes and bake according to package directions (any size pan). 
Prepare pudding according to package directions and chill until ready to 
assemble. 
Crumble sandwich cookies in small batches in a food processor, scraping often. 
Set aside all but 1/4 cup. To the 1/4 cup add a few drops of green food 
coloring and mix. 
When cakes are cooled to room temperature, crumble them into a large bowl. Toss 
with 1/2 of the remaining cookie crumbs, and the chilled pudding. You probably 
won't need all of the pudding, you want the cake to be just moist, not soggy. 
Line kitty litter box with the kitty litter liner. Put cake mixture into box. 
Put half of the unwrapped tootsie rolls in a microwave safe dish and heat until 
softened. Shape the ends so that they are no longer blunt, and curve the 
tootsie rolls slightly. Bury tootsie rolls randomly in the cake and sprinkle 
with half of the remaining cookie crumbs. Sprinkle a small amount of the green 
colored cookie crumbs lightly over the top. 
Heat 3 or 4 of the tootsie rolls in the microwave until almost melted. Scrape 
them on top of the cake and sprinkle lightly with some of the green cookie 
crumbs. Heat the remaining tootsie rolls until pliable and shape as before. 
Spread all but one randomly over top of cake mixture.. Sprinkle with any 
remaining cookie crumbs. Hang the remaining tootsie roll over side of litter 
box and sprinkle with a few green cookie crumbs. Serve with the pooper scooper 
for a gross Halloween dessert.

3 tablespoons butter, softened 
1 cup sifted confectioners' sugar 
4 ounces vanilla-flavored candy coating 
20 candy-coated chocolate pieces, such as M&Ms 
Red and black decorator gel icing

In a mixing bowl, stir together peanut butter and butter. Gradually add 
confectioners' sugar, stirring until combined. Shape mixture into 1-inch balls 
and place on wax paper. Let stand about 20 minutes or until dry. Melt candy 
coating over low heat or in microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. 
Dip balls, one at a time, into coating, letting excess drip off. Place on wax 
paper. While coating is soft, immediately press a colored candy piece into each 
ball. Let stand until coating is firm. (It will dry at room temperature.) Using 
red gel, drizzle "veins" onto balls. Add a drop of black gel to center of 
colored candies to make "pupils." (If you vary the placement of the black gel, 
you can make the eyes "look" in different directions.)

bottom. Place a sheet of phyllo on a work surface, brush with melted butter, 
repeat with 2 more sheets, placing them on top of one another. Do not brush top 
sheet with butter. Lay the prosciutto wrapped cheese in the center of the 
phyllo and wrap the phyllo around the "mummy". Butter the outside of the phyllo 
and then reshape into the mummy shape. Place 1 of the remaining sheets of 
phyllo on the parchment lined baking sheet, brush with
 melted butter, repeat with the remaining 2 sheets, placing them on top of one 
another. Carefully slice the phyllo into 1/2-inch wide strips horizontally. Lay 
the wrapped mummy in the center of the sliced strips and wrap the sliced pieces 
around the mummy so it looks like bandages. Gently brush the top with butter. 
Bake for 20 minutes, or until golden brown on the outside. When the mummy is 
just a few minutes from coming out of the oven, place drained roasted red 
peppers, basil leaves, and garlic in the food processor and pulse grind into a 
pepper puree. Transfer to a small serving bowl. Decorate the mummy with black 
olives and pepper shapes and transfer him to his "coffin" with 2 wide, long, 
offset spatulas. Serve with red pepper puree. 

Essence (Emeril's Creole Seasoning): 
2 1/2 tablespoons paprika 
2 tablespoons salt 
2 tablespoons garlic powder 
1 tablespoon black pepper 
1 tablespoon onion powder 
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper 
1 tablespoon dried leaf oregano 
1 tablespoon dried thyme 
Combine all ingredients thoroughly and store in an airtight jar or container. 
Yield: about 2/3 cup

Active time: 45 min Start to finish: 1 hr
Servings: Makes 4 first-course servings

Ingredients

1 lb cleaned squid, bodies and tentacles separated but kept intact
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 large garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 (1 1/2-inch) fresh red or green Thai or serrano chile, halved crosswise
1/2 lb grape or cherry tomatoes, halved 
1/3 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup raisins
1/4 cup drained bottled capers, rinsed, patted dry, and coarsely chopped
1/2 lb campanelle (small bell-shaped pasta) or fusilli pasta
1/2 cup loosely packed torn fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup pine nuts, lightly toasted
1 (1- by 1/2-inch) strip fresh lemon zest, finely chopped 

Directions

If squid are large, halve ring of tentacles, then cut longer tentacles, if 
attached, crosswise into 2-inch pieces. Pull off flaps from squid bodies and 
cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Cut bodies crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick rings. 
Pat squid dry. Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over 
moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté garlic and chile, 
stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add squid and sauté, stirring, 1 
minute. Add tomatoes and wine and simmer, stirring, 2 minutes. Add raisins and 
capers and simmer, stirring, 30 seconds. Remove from heat. Cook pasta in a 
6-quart pot of boiling salted water until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta 
cooking water, then drain pasta in a colander. Add pasta to tomato mixture with 
1/4 cup reserved cooking water and cook over moderately high heat, stirring 
constantly, 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in basil, pine nuts, zest, and 
salt and pepper to taste. If pasta looks dry,
 moisten with more cooking water. Divide pasta among 4 plates, then drizzle 
each serving with some of remaining 3 tablespoons oil.

Dad's Meatloaf with Tomato Relish 

Recipe courtesy Tyler Florence
Show: Tyler's Ultimate
Episode: Ultimate Meatloaf


Difficulty: Easy 
Prep Time: 20 minutes 
Cook Time: 1 hour 30 minutes 
Yield: 6 to 8 servings 

Tomato Relish: 
Extra-virgin olive oil 
1 onion, finely diced 
2 garlic cloves, minced 
2 bay leaves 
2 red bell peppers, cored, seeded, and finely diced 
2 tomatoes, halved, seeded, and finely diced 
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley 
1 (12-ounce) bottle ketchup 
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper 

Meatloaf: 
3 slices white bread, crusts removed, torn into chunks by hand 
1/4 cup whole milk 
1 1/2 pounds ground beef 
1 pound ground pork 
2 eggs 
Leaves from 2 fresh thyme sprigs 
Salt and freshly ground black pepper 
3 to 4 bacon slices

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a skillet with a 2-count of oil and 
place over medium heat. Saute the onion, garlic, and bay leaves for a few 
minutes to create a base flavor. Throw in the red peppers and cook them for a 
couple of minutes to soften. Now add the tomatoes; adding them at this point 
lets them hold their shape and prevents them from disintegrating. Stir in the 
parsley, ketchup, and Worcestershire; season with salt and pepper. Simmer the 
relish for 5 minutes to pull all the flavors together. Remove it from the heat; 
you should have about 4 cups of relish. Place the torn white bread in a bowl 
and add the milk to just barely cover, swish the bread around in the milk and 
let it sit while you get the rest of the ingredients for the meat loaf 
together. This is where you get your hands dirty! In a large mixing bowl, 
combine the ground beef and pork with 1 1/2 cups of the tomato relish, the 
eggs, and thyme; season with salt and pepper.
 Squeeze the excess milk from the bread and add the soaked bread to the meat 
mixture. To test, fry a small "hamburger" patty of the meatloaf until cooked; 
the patty should hold together but still have a soft consistency. Taste the 
patty for seasoning. Lightly oil a cookie sheet. Transfer the meat mixture to 
the center of the cookie sheet and form into a log about 9 inches long and 
about 4 inches wide. Coat the top of the meatloaf with another 1/2 cup of the 
tomato relish. Lay the bacon across the top lengthwise. Bake the meatloaf for 1 
to 1 1/2 hours until the bacon is crisp and the meatloaf is firm. Rotate the 
meat loaf while it's baking every now and then to insure that the bacon browns 
evenly. Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it cool a bit before slicing. 
Serve with the remaining tomato relish on the side. Unbelievably moist!

Wicked Cupcakes 

>From Food Network Kitchens
Difficulty: Medium 
Prep Time: 45 minutes 
Inactive Prep Time: 1 hour 
Cook Time: 25 minutes 
Yield: 12 cupcakes, 2 cups frosting

Cupcakes: 
1 1/2 ounces fine-quality semisweet chocolate, chopped 
1/4 cups prune juice 
3/4 cup all-purpose flour 
3/4 cup sugar 
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 
1/4 teaspoon baking soda 
1/4 teaspoon baking powder 
1/4 teaspoons salt 
1 large egg 
1 large egg yolk 
1/3 cup buttermilk 
1/4 cup vegetable oil 
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 
Frosting: 
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature 
1 cup peanut butter (smooth or chunky) 
4-ounces cream cheese, at room temperature 
4 cups confectioners' sugar 
2 tablespoons milk 
1 drop food coloring (green), optional 
Chocolate wafer cookies 
Licorice strips 
Toasted coconut 
Small candies 
Special equipment: 12 (1/2-cup) muffin cups with paper liners 

For the cupcakes: Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 300 
degrees F. Set liners in muffin cups. Put the chocolate and prune juice in a 
microwave safe bowl. Heat in the microwave on low power, stirring occasionally, 
until completely melted. 
Whisk the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a 
large bowl. In another bowl, beat the egg and yolk with an electric hand mixer 
at high speed until slightly thick and lemon colored, about 3 minutes. Slowly 
add buttermilk, oil, vanilla, and melted chocolate mixture to eggs, beating 
until thoroughly combined. Add the flour mixture and beat until just combined. 
Divide the batter among muffin tins, filling them 1/2 of the way. Bake until a 
toothpick inserted into the center of the cupcakes comes out clean and the tops 
spring back when pressed gently, about 25 minutes. Cool the cupcakes in the tin 
on a rack for 10 minutes then remove from the tin and cool completely. 
For the frosting: Beat the butter, peanut butter, and cream cheese in a large 
bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Gradually add the 
confectioners' sugar and milk mixing until the frosting is smooth. Add food 
coloring as desired. Refrigerate the frosting until firm. To decorate the 
cakes: For the witches hat, score a circle in the middle of a cupcake. Cut a 
deep cone-like shape with a knife held at an angle. Rotate the cupcake to 
complete the circle and remove the center. Repeat with all the cupcakes. 
Generously scoop or pipe enough frosting into the center of each cupcake to 
fill the whole and to come over the cake to make a face. Top with a chocolate 
wafer cookie. Put a dot of frosting in the middle of the wafer cookie and 
invert the cone shaped piece of cake on top to make a witches hat. Use skinny 
licorice, toasted coconut or cereal flakes for hair and candies for eyes and/or 
nose. Refrigerate for up to 30 minutes before serving.

Free Recipes Overnight Lasagna Bolognese

Overnight Lasagna Bolognese 

Sauce: 

1 lb. beef stew meat 
1 C. small-diced onion 
1 1/2 C. thinly sliced mushrooms 
2 T.  minced garlic 
1/4 t. crushed red chile flakes 
1/4 t. dry whole leaf rosemary, crushed 
1 t. dry whole leaf oregano 
1 t. dry leaf basil 
1/2 C. red wine 
1 C. beef broth 
2 cans (6-ounces each) tomato paste
1 can (28-ounces) roma tomatoes in juice 
1 t. salt 

Assembly:

1 box (1 pound) lasagna noodles, 16 pieces
Olive oil 
1 container (15 ounces) ricotta cheese 
2 T. minced garlic 
1 egg 
4 C. coarsely grated mozzarella cheese 
1 C. shredded Parmesan cheese 

Place all of the sauce ingredients in a crock pot, cover and set on high. Cook 
for 8 hours. Stir sauce well, breaking apart meat and incorporating it into 
sauce. Refrigerate in a shallow pan to cool quickly. (I like to make the sauce 
in a crock pot the night before the lasagna construction, so the meat has at 
least 8 hours to simmer. That way it has plenty of time to cook fork-tender and 
then cool before assembly.) 

When ready to assemble the lasagna, preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cook the 
lasagna noodles until just al dente. Drain, toss carefully with a little olive 
oil and spread out on a large baking sheet to cool. 

Meanwhile, mix together the ricotta, 2 tablespoons minced garlic and egg; 
reserve. Separately, mix mozzarella and Parmesan; reserve. 

Pan-spray a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Spread 1 cup of sauce in the bottom. Then 
assemble in this order, laying out in even layers: 4 pasta noodles, half of 
ricotta mixture, 4 noodles, half of sauce, half of mozzarella mixture, 4 
noodles, remaining ricotta mixture, remaining noodles, sauce and mozzarella 
mixture. 

Cover very loosely with a piece of foil, lightly sprayed with pan-spray so the 
cheese doesn't stick. Bake lasagna for about 30 to 40 minutes, until bubbly, 
then remove foil and bake an additional 10 minutes, or until the top is lightly 
browned. 

Let cool slightly, then cut into 8 squares for serving. 
8 servings

soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. In another mixing bowl, 
combine egg whites, sugar, margarine, and zucchini. Divide batter among 4 jars 
(should be slightly less than half full). Carefully wipe rims clean, then place 
jars on baking sheet (or they'll tip over) in the center of oven. Bake 40 
minutes. Keep lids in hot water until they're used. When cakes are done, remove 
jars which are HOT from oven one at a time. If rims need cleaning, use 
moistened paper towel. Carefully put lids and rings in place, then screw tops 
on tightly shut. Place jars on a wire rack; they will seal as they cool. Once 
jars are cool, decorate with round pieces of
 cloth. Unscrew the ring (the lid should be sealed by now) and place a few 
cotton balls on top of the lid (makes it poofy on top), then a piece of cloth 
(about 3" larger than the lid) on top and screw the ring back on. Decorate as 
desired (example pinking shears).

Free Recipes Eggplant and Tomato Pilaf

~

Eggplant and Tomato Pilaf Recipe
Source: Casual Cuisines of the World - Taverna

Serves 4

Other necessary recipes:
Yogurt-Cucumber Sauce

Helpful Hints:
Rice and Grains, Cooking
Vegetables, Preparing

RECIPE INGREDIENTS

2 eggplants, about 3 pounds total weight
2 cups long-grain white rice, preferably basmati
2 teaspoons salt, plus salt to taste
4 cups boiling water
1 cup olive oil, or as needed
1 onion, chopped
2 large tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 cups hot water or tomato juice
Chopped fresh mint




RECIPE METHOD

Peel the eggplants and cut into 1/2-inch cubes. Place the cubes in a colander, 
salt lightly and toss gently to mix. Let stand for about 1 hour to drain off 
the bitter juices.

Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine the rice with the 2 teaspoons salt and pour in 
the boiling water. Stir well and let stand until the water is cold. Drain the 
rice and rinse well under cool running water. Drain again and set aside.

Rinse the eggplant cubes with cool water, drain well and pat dry with paper 
towels.

In a large sauté pan over medium-high heat, warm 3 tablespoons of the olive 
oil. Working in 3 batches and adding 3 tablespoons olive oil with each batch, 
add the eggplant cubes and sauté until golden brown on all sides, about 5 
minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cubes to paper towels to drain and 
set aside.

In a saucepan over medium heat, warm the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil. Add 
the onion and sauté until tender, about 8 minutes. Add the rice and cook, 
stirring, until opaque, about 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring, 
for 5 minutes longer. Add the sautéed eggplant, cinnamon, allspice, salt to 
taste and pepper and stir well. Pour in the hot water or tomato juice, cover 
and cook over low heat until the liquid is absorbed, 15-20 minutes.

Uncover the pan, drape a folded kitchen towel over the rim and replace the lid. 
Let stand for 15-20 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with mint and serve.

Molasses Bread
Ingredients
1/4 cup warm water, 105?F to 115?F 
1 pkg. active dry yeast
2 cups milk, scalded and cooled to lukewarm
1/4 cup light molasses 
1 Tbsp. salt 
2 Tbsp. salad oil
5 1/2 to 6 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 cup wheat germ

Directions
1.Place warm water in large bowl; sprinkle with yeast. Let stand until 
softened, 3 to 5 min. Mix in milk, molasses, salt, oil, and 4 cups of the 
flour. Mix to blend, then beat until dough is elastic and pulls away from sides 
of bowl, about 5 min.

2. Stir in wheat germ and 1 cup more of the flour to make a soft dough. Turn 
dough out onto floured board or pastry cloth. Knead, adding more flour if dough 
is sticky, until dough is smooth and springy, with small bubbles just under 
surface, about 20 min.

3.Turn dough over in greased bowl. Cover. Let rise in a warm place until 
doubled, 1 to 11/4 hrs. Punch dough down. Divide in half.

4. Shape each half into a loaf. Place loaves in greased 41/2-by-81/2-inch loaf 
pans. Let rise until nearly doubled, about 45 min.

5. Bake at 350?F until loaves are well browned and sound hollow when tapped, 30 
to 40 min.

Comments
Wheat germ adds a nut-like flavor to these moist, golden loaves.

Free Recipes Key Lime Brûlées

Key Lime Brûlées

Ingredients
3/4 cup 2% reduced-fat milk 
1/2 cup sugar 
1/2 cup half-and-half 
3 tablespoons fresh Key lime juice or lime juice 
3 large egg yolks 
1 large egg 
3 tablespoons sugar 

Preparation
Preheat oven to 325°. Combine milk, sugar, and half-and-half in a small, heavy 
saucepan. Heat mixture over medium heat to 180° or until tiny bubbles form 
around edge (do not boil), stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Combine 
lime juice, egg yolks, and egg in a medium bowl, stirring well with a whisk. 
Gradually add the hot milk mixture to egg mixture, stirring constantly with a 
whisk. Divide the mixture evenly among 6 (4-ounce) ramekins or custard cups. 
Place ramekins in a 13 x 9-inch baking pan, and add hot water to pan to a depth 
of 1 inch. Bake at 325° for 30 minutes or until center barely moves when the 
ramekin is touched. Remove ramekins from pan, and cool completely on a wire 
rack. Cover and chill 4 hours to overnight. Carefully sift 1 1/2 teaspoons 
sugar over each custard. Holding a kitchen blowtorch about 2 inches from the 
top of each custard, heat the sugar, moving the torch back and forth, until the 
sugar is completely melted and
 caramelized (about 1 minute). Serve the custards immediately. Note: You can 
buy a kitchen blowtorch at most cookware stores. But if you don't have one on 
hand, you can make the sugar topping on the stovetop instead. Place 1/4 cup 
sugar and 1 tablespoon water in a small, heavy saucepan. Cook over medium heat 
5 to 8 minutes or until mixture is golden. (Resist the urge to stir, since 
doing so may cause the sugar to crystallize.) Immediately pour the sugar 
mixture evenly over the cold custards, spreading to form a thin layer on top. 
Yield
6 servings (serving size: 1 custard)

Free Recipes Deep Dish Salsa Pizza

2007-10-18 Thread Rhonda Gray
>From the Cooking.com website...

~

Deep Dish Salsa Pizza Recipe
Source: Cooking.com

10 servings

RECIPE INGREDIENTS

For Dough:

1 tablespoon dry yeast (not quick rising)
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons mild chili powder
1 cup (10 ounces) refried beans
1/4 cup vegetable oil or mild chili oil
1 extra-large egg
1 tablespoon mild-flavored (light) molasses
2/3 cup (or more) room temperature water

For Pizza:

2 cups (16 ounces) chunky salsa
Two 8-ounce packages cream cheese
1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese or Monterey Jack cheese




RECIPE METHOD

FOR DOUGH: Place all ingredients in bread machine in order listed. Program 
machine for dough cycle. Check dough after first few minutes of first knead 
cycle and add more water if necessary to form smooth supple ball. At end of 
final cycle, transfer dough to lightly floured work surface. Cover dough with 
clean kitchen towel until doubled, about 30 minutes.

FOR PIZZA: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly oil 12- to 13-inch-diameter 
deep-dish pizza pan. Roll out dough on lightly floured work surface into 
14-inch diameter round. Transfer dough to pan, extending 1 inch up pan sides. 
Spread cream cheese over dough. Drain most of liquid from salsa until thick 
consistency forms. Spoon salsa evenly over cream cheese. Sprinkle with grated 
cheese. Let pizza rise in warm draft-free area, about 30 minutes. Bake until 
crust is deep brown and cheese bubbles, about 25 minutes.

QUICK TIP: A great way to raise dough in a hurry is to run an empty dishwasher 
on the rinse cycle. Open the door to allow a small amount of steam to escape, 
then quickly place your bread or pizza on the upper rack. Close the door 
(making sure the machine does not re-start). Check after 15 minutes - your 
bread or pizza should be ready to bake.

DO-AHEAD TIP: Dough can be made and refrigerated up to 2 days ahead or frozen 
up to 3 months ahead. Store dough in gallon-size resealable plastic bag and 
refrigerate or freeze until ready to form and bake.
