Grilled watermelon steak

noreply@blogger.com (Carlota) — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 17:51:00 +0000

...with pistachios and micro green salad
Jose Andres

Serves 4

INGREDIENTS

• 3 tomatoes
• Water
• Salt
• Ice water
• 1 watermelon
• Spanish olive oil
• Chopped pistachios
• 3 tablespoons of Spanish extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
• Micro greens (cilantro, mint, arugula)
• Spanish extra-virgin olive oil
• Maldon salt

DIRECTIONS

Cut the ends off the watermelon. Peel the green skin off along the white "frontier." Cut four slices 2 inches thick from the peeled watermelon. Trim each slice so they form 2-by-4 inch "steaks."

In a large pot over high heat, bring the water to a boil. Cut a small X in the bottom of each tomato. Drop the tomatoes into the boiling water for 20 seconds. Drain and submerge them in the ice water. Peel them and remove their seeds. Cut the flesh into 1/2-inch cubes. Toss the tomato cubes with the vinegar and olive oil and add salt to taste.

In a skillet over medium heat, heat a bit of the olive oil. Add the watermelon steak and cook for a few minutes on each side until it caramelizes around the edges. Repeat with each steak.

Place the steak on the plate. Top each with a bit of the tomato relish, the pistachios and the micro greens. Season with a little Maldon salt.

Veggie PIZZA

noreply@blogger.com (carlota) — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 14:14:00 +0000

This is our all time favorite at work the Veggie Pizza. Each time we have a pot luck at work I always ask Judy (friend/co-worker) if she's making veggie pizza or even request it to her if she can bring the veggie pizza. wink*

Here's her recipe for the Veggie Pizza...very simple but when I tried to make it doesn't taste the same, hmmm I don't know why.

VEGGIE PIZZA

2 pkgs. Pillsbury Crescent rolls
2 - 8 oz. pkgs. cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup mayonnaise (not Miracle Whip)
1 pkg. Hidden Valley Ranch salad dressing mix
Diced broccoli, green onions, tomatoes (or any other vegetables)
1 small can sliced black olives (optional)
Shredded mild cheddar cheese

Roll dough on large, ungreased cookie sheet - press seams together and roll dough so it covers the cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees - 12 minutes. Cool completely.

In a mixing bowl, mix together cream cheese, mayonnaise and Hidden Valley mix. Spread on cooled dough. Top with vegetables, sprinkle with cheese and then press the veggies and cheese into the cream cheese mixture to hold it all in place. Chill in refrigerator before cutting into bite-size pieces. A pizza cutter works really good.

Spinach Quiche

noreply@blogger.com (carlota) — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 15:55:00 +0000

Steve brought this one of our birthday pot luck. Very yummy!

Paula Deen's Spinach Quiche
6 large eggs, beaten
1 1/2 Cup heavy cream
salt & pepper
2 cups, packed chopped baby spinach
1 lb. bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 1/2 Cup shredded cheese
1 9" pie crust (*** I always use two crusts, because the recipe makes quite a bit of filling! ***)

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

2. Combine eggs, cream and seasoning (food processor, blender, whisking, etc.)

3. Layer bacon, spinach and cheese in pie crust(s). Pour egg mixture over the layers, and allow it to seep through.

4. Bake 35-34 minutes, until mixture is set.

*** options ***

• You can mix everything together rather than layering and pouring the egg mix over the layers.
• Use different kinds of cheese. Paula used cheddar on the show. For this quiche I used a Trader Joe's mozzarella that had bits of sun-dried tomatoes and basil mixed in.
• I crumble the bacon in a food processor after cooking it.

Tasty, cold summer Soups

Ultra-Fast Avocado Soup
By Mark Bittman
Serves four

INGREDIENTS

• 3 or 4 ripe avocados, peeled, pitted, and chopped (about 2 cups)

• 3 cups milk, preferably whole milk

• Salt and cayenne pepper to taste

• 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange or lime juice, or to taste (optional)

DIRECTIONS:

Time: 10 minutes, plus time to chill

This lovely, celadon-colored soup is about as simple as it gets; the subtle, rich flavors of avocado and milk benefit from a hit of acidity, so I add orange or lime juice at the end, but that’s about it. You can, however, dress it up for company in a hurry: A couple of brightly colored cherry tomatoes tossed with oil, salt, and pepper and nestled in the middle of the soup are handsome additions. Even a few cilantro leaves arranged in the middle of the bowl would take this soup from everyday to elegant.

1. Put the chopped avocado in a blender. Add half the milk, a large pinch of salt, and a small pinch of cayenne, and process to a purée. Beat in the remaining milk, then chill for up to 6 hours if you have time (press a piece of plastic wrap to the surface of the soup so it doesn’t discolor).

2. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, add the citrus juice if you’re using it, and serve — in chilled bowls if you want to be precise.

Roasted Garlic Potatoes

noreply@blogger.com (carlota) — Tue, 06 May 2008 15:52:00 +0000

This is our all time favorite Roasted Garlic Potatoes from Steve (my friend/co-worker).

Roasted Garlic Potatoes
Serves 4

2 pounds large red potatoes, scrubbed, dried and each cut into 8 wedges
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
1 large garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon minced fresh parsley
1/8 teaspoon grated lemon zest

1. Adjust oven rack to upper-middle position, place rimmed baking sheet on rack, and heat oven to 450 degrees.

2. Meanwhile, toss potatoes, cornstarch, garlic powder, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper together in large bowl. Carefully remove preheated baking sheet from oven, add oil, and tilt baking sheet to evenly coat with oil. Place potatoes, cut side down in single layer, on baking sheet. Roast until browned around edges, about 30 minutes.

3. While potatoes roast, mix butter, garlic, parsley and zest together in medium bowl. Remove baking sheet from oven and using metal spatula, turn potatoes skin side down. Roast until potatoes are crisp and deep golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.

4. Transfer potatoes to bowl with butter and toss until evenly coated. Season with salt and pepper, and serve!

It's the time again!
