Potato-Onion Frittata

Thursday, February 11th, 2010 Print This Post Print This Post USer rating

Serves 8 to 12
1 pound (about 8 ) small new potatoes
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 small onions (about 1 pound), thinly sliced
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 ounce sharp white cheddar cheese, grated (about ½ cup)
10 eggs, whisked
½ cup sour cream

Place potatoes in a medium saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer until tender when pierced with a sharp knife, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain; let cool. Peel, and cut into ¼-inch-thick slices. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Heat oil in an ovenproof 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook onions until just translucent, about 2 minutes. Add potatoes, and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions and potatoes are golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Mix together cheddar and eggs. Season with salt and pepper. Reduce heat to medium. Pour egg mixture into skillet, Dollop with sour cream, and swirl into egg mixture using the tip of a knife. Cook until edge is set, about 2 minutes. Carefully transfer skillet to oven and bake until eggs are completely set, 10 to 12 minutes. Invert frittata onto a plate. Let cool slightly. Serve warm.

Coconut Cups

Thursday, February 11th, 2010 Print This Post Print This Post USer rating

Macaroon cups:
2 ¼ cups desiccated or shredded coconut
½ cup sugar
2 egg whites

Ganache filling:
4 ounces chocolate
½ cup margarine (1 stick)
3 egg yolks, lightly beaten
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa

Preheat oven to 280 degrees F.
Grease compartments of a non-stick mini muffin pan very well.
For the Macaroon Cups, mix the ingredients together in a bowl. Press mixture against the sides and bottoms of each muffin compartment. Cover each compartment evenly and fully, and try to ensure that the bottom isn’t too thick. (You can wet your fingers occasionally to help you press the coconut mixture in easily.)
Bake for 30 minutes, then let cool completely before removing macaroon cups from the pan. You may need to run a sharp knife around the top edges of each cup to loosen.

For Ganache Filling, melt chocolate and margarine together in the top of a double boiler, and stir to mix. Remove from heat and let cool for 2 to 3 minutes.

Stir in egg yolks while whisking thoroughly to prevent them from cooking. Add cocoa and mix well. Pour mixture while it is still warm into coconut cups and leave at room temperature to set. Store in airtight container.

Quinoa with Roasted Garlic and Roasted Red Pepper

Thursday, February 11th, 2010 Print This Post Print This Post USer rating

½ of a head of garlic, roasted*
1 cup quinoa
1 ½ cups water or vegetable stock
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup roasted red peppers, from a jar, chopped
½ cup yellow onion, chopped
¼ cup fresh basil, chopped
salt and pepper to taste

Wash the quinoa in cold water and drain. Heat oil in a 2 quart stockpot. Sauté onion until soft and caramelized, about 7 minutes. Add water or stock and bring to a boil. Add quinoa. Cover, reduce heat and simmer for 12 minutes. Turn off the heat. Add the roasted garlic, red peppers, basil, salt and pepper. Mix well. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Roasted Garlic
1 head garlic
2 tablespoons olive oil

Slice the top off the head of the garlic. Drizzle olive oil over the top of the garlic. Wrap tightly in aluminum foil (you may want to put the foil around the garlic, drizzle the oil and then close the foil to get the oil all around the garlic and not create a mess). Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Roast garlic until soft about 30 minutes. The cloves should slide out of the peel and mash easily when done.

I use this recipe during the year and on Pesach. It never fails.
1 (5-6 pound) brisket
1 onion, sliced
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
½ teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons paprika
1 (14 ounce) can tomato soup

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place brisket in roasting pan and cover with the remaining ingredients in the order listed. Bake for 3 hours until soft, checking halfway through to see if you need to add any water ( but you shouldn’t). If not for immediate consumption, allow brisket to cool, then slice. Return meat to gravy for reheating
