WildStar 0 Posted October 26, 2004 this is some thing I got off of "LIVE WITH RIGIS AND KELLY" Emeril's Potluck - Comfort Food with a Kicked Up Attitude Recipes courtesy of Emeril Lagasse, Emeril’s Potluck, HarperCollins Publishers, 2004 ORANGE EMERIL 4 cups fresh orange juice 4 cups ice cubes 3/4 cup honey 2/3 cup heavy cream 2 tablespoons orange zest 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract Orange slices, for garnish Combine 2 cups orange juice, 2 cups ice, 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons honey, 1/3 cup cream, 1 tablespoon orange zest, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla in a blender and process on high speed until smooth and frothy. Pour into a pitcher. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Pour into tall glasses, garnish each with an orange slice, and serve immediately. Makes 2 1/2 quarts, 10 to 12 servings Note: Kick this up a bit more with some chilled vodka for adults, making this a wonderful cocktail for brunch! RETRO AMBROSIA 1/2 cup cream cheese, at room temperature (about 4 ounces) 1/2 cup sour cream 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons light brown sugar 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice 1 ripe pineapple, peeled, cored, and chopped (about 5 1/2 cups) 3 oranges, peeled, and sliced (about 1 cup) 2 grapefruit, peeled and sliced (about 1/2 cup) 1 cup toasted pecans (7 minutes at 350°F) 1 cup toasted coconut (10 minutes at 350°F) Combine the cream cheese, sour cream, brown sugar, and lemon juice in a large bowl. Whisk to blend. Add the pineapple, cherries, oranges, grapefruit, and pecans and stir to mix. Place in a serving dish, garnish with the coconut, and serve immediately.` Makes about 8 cups, 8 servings CREOLE BREAKFAST BREAD PUDDING Makes 8 to 10 servings This dish is ideal for any breakfast or brunch menu, and equally good at suppertime when served with a nice green salad and a simple soup to start. Linguica sausage adds the right savory touch to kick this bread pudding up a notch or two. If you can’t find linguica where you live, substitute any garlicky smoked pork sausage. ½ pound linguica sausage, removed from casings and chopped ½ cup minced yellow onions ¼ cup minced green bell pepper 1/3 cup sliced green onions 1/3 cup dry white wine 8 cups 1-inch cubes day-old French bread 2 ½ cups milk ½ cup heavy cream ¼ cup melted unsalted butter 8 large eggs, beaten ½ pound Pepper Jack cheese, grated ½ pound Monterey Jack cheese, grated ¾ teaspoon salt 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper ¾ cup sour cream ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese 8 to 10 Sunny Side-Up Eggs, for serving, if desired, (recipe follows) 1. Preheat the oven to 325° F. 2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook until golden brown and the fat is rendered, about 5 minutes. Add the onions and bell peppers, and sauté until soft, 3 minutes. Add the green onions and stir well. Add the white wine and reduce slightly, stirring, about 1 minute over high heat. Remove from the heat. 3. Place the bread in a large mixing bowl. Add the milk and cream and stir well. Let sit for 5 minutes. 4. Pour the melted butter into a 9 x 13-inch casserole dish, and coat the sides and bottom evenly. Pour any extra butter into the bread mixture. 5. Mix the sausage and bread mixtures. Add the eggs, grated Pepper Jack and Monterey Jack cheeses, salt, black pepper, and cayenne, and quickly fold together. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour. Uncover and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the casserole from the oven and increase the temperature to 375˚ F. Spread the sour cream evenly over the top and cover with the Parmesan. Bake uncovered for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the casserole is lightly browned on top. Serve hot, with each serving topped with a Sunny Side Up Egg, if desired. DO AHEAD Just the ticket for the busy holiday season, because you can assemble the dish a day ahead, refrigerate, and then bake the next morning. Come to think of it, it benefits from a night’s rest in the fridge. SUNNY SIDE-UP EGGS Yield: 8 to 10 servings 2 tablespoons butter or bacon drippings 8 to 10 large eggs, at room temperature salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste In a large nonstick skillet melt 1 tablespoon of the butter over medium-low heat. When the skillet is hot, add half of the eggs and cook, undisturbed, until the whites are set and the yolks are cooked to the desired degree of doneness. Season the eggs with salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately. Repeat with the remaining eggs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WildStar 0 Posted December 6, 2004 Bugia, or Liar's Cookies Recipe courtesy Michael Chiarello See this recipe on air Sunday Dec. 12 at 1:00 PM ET/PT. Recipe Summary Difficulty: Expert Prep Time: 45 minutes Inactive Prep Time: 2 hours Cook Time: 15 minutes Yield: about 6 dozen User Rating: 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting work surface 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons sugar 2 large eggs 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted and cooled briefly 1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice 1 1/2 tablespoons brandy 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 3/4 teaspoon ground anise seeds 4 to 6 cups peanut or vegetable oil, for deep-frying About 2 cups powdered sugar Sift the flour with the baking powder, salt, and sugar and set aside. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, mix together the eggs, butter, orange juice, brandy, vanilla, and anise seeds until well blended. Add the dry ingredients all at once and mix on low speed until the dough cleans the sides of the bowl and adheres to the paddle. Remove the dough from the bowl onto a floured board. Knead by hand until smooth. Form the dough into a ball, flatten slightly, and place in a bowl. Cover with a tea towel and chill at least 2 hours or up to overnight to allow the dough to relax. Heat the oil in a deep fryer or deep pot to 350 degrees F. Meanwhile, cut the dough into 4 or 6 equal pieces. Keeping the dough and work surface well floured, pass the dough through the widest setting of a pasta machine 3 or 4 times. Then pass through successively narrower settings until the dough is almost thin enough to see through; depending on your pasta machine, this will probably be the next to thinnest setting. Cut the dough into long strips 3 inches wide, then cut the strips on the diagonal into pieces about 3 inches long. If the dough tears, cut it off and work it back into the dough. The cookies curl when they fry, so fancier shapes are not important. As the cookies are cut, transfer them to baking sheets lined with flour-dusted tea towels, and cover with tea towels so they won't dry out before frying. Fry in batches, turning once, until puffed and golden brown, about 1 minute. Transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. While the cookies are still hot, dust them well with powdered sugar. Wait for a few minutes while the oil and heat absorb and melt most of this first coating. Dust well a second time until the cookies are quite white. The cookies will keep for a week or so in an airtight container. You may need to re-dust them with sugar before serving. Only a few cookies at a time will fit, even in a big pot, so frying takes time. It is best to have company in the kitchen, ready with lots of good talk to keep you amused. And there are always the warm cookies to eat along the way as a reward. You can also dredge the cookies in granulated sugar, crystal sugar, or even a mix of powdered sugar and unsweetened cocoa powder. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To assemble dumplings, use a spoon to place a tablespoon-sized dollop of filling in the center of a wonton wrapper. Use your fingers to wet the edges of the wrapper, then fold in half, easing edges so that they meet to form a triangle. Press firmly to seal dumplings. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook dumplings in small batches so as not to crowd. Dumplings are done when they float and wrappers are tender and translucent, 5 to 6 minutes.

Carefully fit the dough into a deep 9 1/2 or 10-inch pie dish and trim the edges, leaving a 3/4-inch overhang. Fold under the edge of the dough and press along the rim of the pie pan to form a high, fluted border. Refrigerate the pie shell for at least 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and position a rack in the center of the oven. Line the pastry with lightly buttered parchment paper or aluminum foil (buttered side down) and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until the crust is just set, about 12 minutes. Remove the paper and weights and bake until the crust is just golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and brush the pastry with the egg white. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees F. In a heavy saucepan combine the milk and cream and heat until mixture just comes to a simmer. Whisk the eggs, 3/4 cup of the sugar, salt, nutmeg, and vanilla together to combine. Add the hot milk mixture to the egg-sugar mixture and whisk to blend. Transfer custard mixture to the pie shell and bake until the custard is set but still slightly wobbly in the center, 40 to 45 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. When cooled, transfer to the refrigerator to chill. While the pie is baking, make the blueberry topping. Combine the blueberries and cold water in a heavy, nonreactive saucepan. Bring to a boil. In a small bowl, stir together the remaining 1/2 cup sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice and lemon zest. Stir the sugar-cornstarch mixture into the boiling blueberries and stir well to combine. Cook until thickened, stirring constantly, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and transfer to a small bowl. Place a piece of waxed paper or plastic wrap directly onto the surface and chill, stirring occasionally, until completely cooled, about 2 hours. When both the pie and the blueberry topping have cooled, top the pie with the blueberry topping. Serve immediately or continue to refrigerate, covered, for up to 1 day. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream on top, if desired. Note: If pie is refrigerated for more than 1 or 2 hours, allow to sit at room temperature a few minutes before serving. Basic Sweet Pie Crust: 1 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons bleached all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt 6 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into 1/4-inch pieces and chilled 2 tablespoons vegetable shortening 5 tablespoons ice water, or as needed Sift the flour, sugar and salt into a large bowl. Add the butter and shortening. Rub the fats between your fingertips and thumbs, or use a pastry blender, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. One tablespoon at a time, work in enough ice water just until the dough comes together, being careful not to over mix. Shape into a smooth ball of dough, flatten into a disk, and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, and up to two days. Yield: Dough for 1 single-crust pie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
