<br />
Pumpkin is really a delicious, thoroughly American
ingredient which has been ubiquitously associated with Thanksgiving and pie since that autumn eve
a lot more than 300 years
back.<br />
<br />
Although everybody that is anybody loves them some pumpkin pie, sometimes it's fun
to test a brand new spin on the classic. That's where Claire Thomas is
available in.<br />
<br />
Thomas, the host of "Food for Thought, " says regardless of the way you roast bake, or
purée it, you are able to enjoy pumpkin from now till the patch is empty - without breaking out the pie
dish.<br />
<br />
Five Methods to Enjoy Pumpkin That does not Include Pie: Claire Thomas<br />
<br />
1. A pumpkin
pasta no-brainer<br />
"Brown butter and sage with any type
of squash or pumpkin may be the ultimate of
classic combinations. The sweetness from the pumpkin with
earthy sage and nutty brown butter is totally dynamite,
as well as for my palate, never gets old. Plus, this
combination is ultra simple to construct, in support of five ingredients. "<br />
<br />
Spaghetti with Roasted
Pumpkin, Brown Butter and Sage<br />
<br />
Ingredients<br />
<br />
1 small baking pumpkin,
peeled, seeded and cut into 1/2-inch cubes<br />
1 bunch sage<br />
1 stick unsalted
butter<br />
1 pound spaghetti (or any pasta you
prefer)<br />
grated Parmesan, to taste<br />
Cooking Directions<br />
<br />
Preheat
oven to 425 F. Cover the cubed pumpkin with salt, pepper and
some tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. Roast
for a half hour, or until tender and golden
brown.<br />
Boil a pot of water and put in a small number of salt. Cook your pasta until al dente (it will probably be tender but
nevertheless possess a little bite).<br />
Meanwhile,
melt butter using the sage leaves over medium heat until
it smells fragrant and turns a golden brown hue (about 4 minutes).<br />
Within a large bowl toss the pasta using
the pumpkin and brown butter. Grate with Parmesan and serve.<br />
2. Flip
out for pumpkin<br />
"In my version of everyone's favorite breakfast classic, I
put a pumpkin twist and then add richness with ricotta
plus some fresh blackberry syrup to normalize the creamy sweetness from the
pancakes. I’m not just one for frilly recipes with
extraneous steps, but beating the egg whites and folding them in make the
lightest, fluffiest pancakes you can imagine. Pumpkin for
breakfast is surely a delicious thing. "<br />
<br />
For your pancakes<br />
<br />
1 1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose
flour<br />
3 tablespoons sugar<br />
1 teaspoon cinnamon<br />
1 hefty pinch nutmeg<br />
1
pinch cardamom<br />
1/4 teaspoon powdered ginger<br />
2 teaspoons baking
powder<br />
3/4 teaspoon salt<br />
1 cup dairy (or regular
milk as well as heavy cream)<br />
1/2 cup fresh
ricotta<br />
3/4 cup canned pumpkin purée<br />
4 large eggs, separated<br />
1/4 cup
(1/2 stick) butter, melted<br />
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla<br />
Cooking
Directions<br />
<br />
Whisk the dry ingredients in large bowl to blend.<br />
Whisk
milk, ricotta, pumpkin, egg yolks, melted butter and vanilla in medium bowl to
blend well.<br />
Add pumpkin mixture to dry ingredients; whisk just until smooth
(batter is going to be thick).<br />
Using electric mixer,
beat egg whites in another medium bowl until stiff however,
not dry. Fold whites into batter in two additions.<br />
Grease a big non-stick skillet and place over medium heat. Employed in batches, pour batter by 1/3 cupfuls into skillet.
Cook until bubbles form on the top of pancakes and also the bottoms are brown, about 2 minutes per
side.<br />
Repeat with remaining batter, greasing the skillet between
batches.<br />
For your blackberry syrup<br />
<br />
18 ounces
fresh blackberries<br />
1 lemon<br />
2 1/2 cups white sugar<br />
Cooking
Directions<br />
<br />
Clean the blackberries and place them within
a large bowl. Cover them using the sugar, add the
juice of just one lemon and mix having
a spoon to distribute evenly. Cover with cling wrap and
then let the berries macerate overnight within the
fridge.<br />
The following day, place
the berry mixture within a large pan and bring
to some slight boil (bubbles round
the edges). Stir for approximately 10 minutes (or
till the syrup clings towards the
spoon) and transfer the mixture to some large jar, or
glass bowl and allow it to cool within
the fridge.<br />
3. It is the Great Pumpkin (cake),
Charlie Brown<br />
"My favorite carrot cake had an ideal 1:
1 ratio of cake to frosting. That explains why it had
been my personal favorite. Rich, dense, moist and
flavorful - it had been perfection. However, I quickly
realized much frosting needed to
be overcompensating for something. That's what fat, sugar and salt does
anyway, right? It adds flavor towards the flavorless.
When it came time for me
personally to create my very
own rendition of the classic cake, I aimed for
flavor and moistness within the cake itself, using the frosting being an added
bonus.<br />
<br />
The addition of pumpkin and butternut squash create an earthier
flavor and richer texture, as well as the addition of
classic pumpkin pie spices (ginger, cardamom, nutmeg, cinnamon, etc. )#) resulted in the amount with this autumnal dessert. It will end
up becoming the fantastic Pumpkin Cake, so make sure to have a minimum of twelve friends around to test it.
"<br />
<br />
For your cake<br />
<br />
Ingredients<br />
<br />
2 1/2
cups unbleached all-purpose flour<br />
1 1/2 cups sugar<br />
1/2 cup brown
sugar<br />
1/2 teaspoon salt<br />
1 tablespoon baking soda<br />
1 tablespoon
cinnamon<br />
1 teaspoon cardamom<br />
1 teaspoon ground ginger<br />
1/4 teaspoon
ground cloves<br />
1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg<br />
1 1/2 cups extra
virgin olive oil<br />
4 large eggs, lightly beaten<br />
1 tablespoon vanilla
extract<br />
1 1/2 cups shelled pecans, roughly chopped<br />
1 1/2 cups sweetened,
shredded coconut<br />
1 cup finely grated carrots<br />
1 cup grated butternut
squash<br />
1 cup canned, puréed pumpkin<br />
Cooking Directions<br />
<br />
Preheat oven
to 350 degrees F.<br />
Within a large bowl whisk together
the flour, baking soda, salt and spices. Put aside. Having a mixer, beat the eggs until frothy and pale. Gradually
add the sugars and beat for a couple minutes, till the batter is thick.<br />
Add the oil within
a steady stream after which beat within the vanilla extract.<br />
Add the flour mixture and
pumpkin alternatively and beat on low just until incorporated.<br />
Add the
vegetables, pecans and coconut and mix simply to
combine.<br />
Evenly divide the batter between three greased cake pans and bake
for a half hour or until a toothpick inserted within the center arrives
clean.<br />
Remove from oven and let cool on the wire rack.
After about 5-10 minutes, invert the cakes onto the wire rack and let them cool
completely before frosting.<br />
For your
frosting<br />
<br />
Ingredients<br />
<br />
3 cups unsalted butter, softened<br />
16 ounces
cream cheese, softened<br />
1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed<br />
2 teaspoons
vanilla extract<br />
1 1/2 teaspoons orange zest<br />
pinch of salt<br />
2 cups
powdered sugar<br />
1/2 cup canned puréed pumpkin<br />
2 to 3 cups sweetened coconut
flakes, lightly toasted<br />
7 to 8 halved pecans<br />
Cooking
Directions<br />
<br />
Cream the cream cheese within an
electric mixer until light along with a little fluffy,
add the butter, beating for 1-2 minutes, or until combined. Add the brown sugar,
pinch of salt, zest and vanilla extract, and beat until combined. Turn the mixer
to low and add the powdered sugar and pumpkin purée alternatively. Turn the
mixer on the low speed therefore
it doesn't blow out everywhere.<br />
On the cake
platter, place one layer from the cake. Working through the center outward, smooth in regards
to a half-inch of frosting. Add the 2nd layer,
repeat.<br />
Within the third layer, put in
a large deal of frosting and working outward push the frosting on the edge, since the sides. Continue
smoothing the frosting till the entire cake is
covered.<br />
Grab a number coconut and gently press to the sides. Continue till the entire
cake is covered. Decorate the very best with pecans and revel in.<br />
4. Soup's on!<br />
"Consider this the
anti-classic sweet potato side dish. Yes, it's full of
that squash-y, yam-my sweetness, but with no marshmallow
intensity there are plenty of with most side dishes.
Subtly spiced and about the vegetables, this pumpkin, yam
and celery root soup - with hints of smoked paprika, cumin and coriander - may be the perfect autumnal appetizer. "<br />
<br />
Roasted Pumpkin
Soup with Pumpkin Seeds<br />
<br />
Ingredients<br />
<br />
1/4 cup extra
virgin olive oil, plus two tablespoons<br />
2 onions, peeled and diced<br />
2
cloves garlic, minced<br />
2 teaspoons coriander seeds, crushed<br />
2 teaspoons
cumin seeds, crushed<br />
1/2 teaspoon chili powder<br />
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
(also referred to as pimentón)<br />
1/4 teaspoon dried
chili flakes<br />
2 small baking pumpkins<br />
1 large yam<br />
1 large celery
root<br />
salt<br />
fresh ground black pepper<br />
brown sugar<br />
8 cups chicken
broth<br />
4 cups water (if needed)<br />
pepitas (toasted pumpkin seeds)<br />
Cooking
Directions<br />
<br />
Halve and seed the pumpkins, peel and halve the celery root,
and coat them, as well as the yam, in 2 tablespoons of
extra virgin olive oil.<br />
Roast within
a 425 F oven for 45 minutes, or until soft and deeply browned.<br />
Heat
a big pot over medium heat, put in
a 1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil, add the onion
and garlic, caramelizing.<br />
Grind the coriander seeds, cumin seeds, and chili
flakes within a mortar and pestle.<br />
Scoop the roasted
pumpkin from its shell, and also
the yams from its skin, and add them, combined with the celery root, towards
the pot using the caramelized onions. Add the
spices along with a pinch of salt and pepper. Add the
broth and simmer for approximately a half
hour.<br />
Pour the soup in to a blender or utilizing an immersion circulator, blitz the soup until
luxuriously smooth.<br />
Add water if it feels too thick. Taste and adjust the
seasoning with salt and brown sugar.<br />
5. Mix it up<br />
"If there is a fridge with random assorted
items of produce and you'd like to not wait until
from the wilted mess, this recipe is
perfect for you.<br />
<br />
Quinoa is really a super
grain: full of protein with couscous-esque texture and
nutty flavor. Perfect having an herb dressing, spices, or
honestly anything you feel as if,
it's that adaptable.<br />
<br />
In fall and winter, I really
like this salad with sautéed kale, butternut squash, just
a little pecorino and perhaps some persimmon for
sweetness. So obtain a little creative and enjoy by using it, and please try the
roasted fennel - it's like candy. "<br />
<br />
Pumpkin, Kale, and Pomegranate Quinoa
Salad<br />
<br />
Ingredients<br />
<br />
2 cups quinoa<br />
2 medium fennel bulbs<br />
1 cup
pomegranate seeds<br />
1 small baking pumpkin, peeled, seeded and cubed<br />
1 bunch
kale, roughly chopped (no smaller than 1-inch segments)<br />
1 bunch
arugula<br />
1/3 cup parsley, finely chopped<br />
1/3 cup mint, finely chopped<br />
4
cloves garlic, minced<br />
pinch of chili flake<br />
2 lemons, juiced<br />
extra virgin olive oil<br />
salt<br />
pepper<br />
Cooking
Directions<br />
<br />
Preheat the oven to 425 F.<br />
Utilizing
a mandoline or your awesome knife skills, thinly slice the fennel
lengthwise. Put on a baking sheet and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper, together with your cubed pumpkin. Roast the fennel for approximately 15 minutes, or until golden brown and crisped
in the edges. Keep roasting your cubed pumpkin for
another 15 minutes, until tender and golden brown.<br />
Meanwhile, place the quinoa within a pot with 4
glasses of water. Take it as much as merely a boil, then cover and
simmer for 10-15 minutes, or till the quinoa is simply translucent and also the
little germ ring can be viewed. You may
have some water left, so just strain it out. I cannot inform you the number of times I've
turned my quinoa in to a mushy mess by forgetting about this for just two minutes, so

<br />
1 duck, trussed<br />
2 Tbls. oil<br />
2 Tbls. honey<br />
1 Tbls. brown sugar<br />
1 cup Guinness<br />
pinch each nutmeg and cinnamon<br />
1 1/4 cups demiglaze or duck stock<br />
pinch each salt and pepper<br />
Preheat oven to 475F.<br />

Tips: <br />
Wash and truss the duck. Brush with oil and seal in a hot<br />

a heavy saucepan mix together the honey, sugar, Guinness and<br />
spices and simmer for 10 minutes. Add demiglaze or stock and<br />

If the sauce tastes too bitter at the end of cooking time, add<br />
a little more honey. Remove from the oven and allow to rest<br />
for a few minutes before carving.</div>scott jaredhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05108642176676546883noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186558867299617552.post-51233198013478041312011-10-29T12:26:00.000-07:002011-10-29T12:27:58.177-07:00Key Lime Grilled Chicken<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It has been loved as a festive beverage in England for many centuries, but its form has changed considerably from the original. Modern eggnog forever includes some traditional ingredients —eggs, certainly, and lots of sugar—and sometimes incorporates relatively fresh ones like ice cream.<br />

PREPARE:20 minutes <br />
SERVES:10<br />
<b>Ingredients:</b>6 eggs, separated<br />
8 tbsp. sugar<br />
1 cup (1/2 pint) heavy or whipping cream 6 1/2 cups whole milk<br />
1/4 cup brandy or more (optional)<br />
1 qt. vanilla ice cream<br />
freshly grated nutmeg (optional)<br />
<br />
Tips :<br />
1. In a large bowl, beat the egg yolks until smooth. Add 6 tbsp.
of the sugar, the cream, 6 cups of the milk, and (if you're using it)
the brandy and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for a minimum of 1 hour,
until chilled.<br />
2. Before serving, in a small bowl beat the egg whites
until frothy. Then add the remaining 2 tbsp. sugar and 1/2 cup milk and
stir just until blended.<br />
3. Remove the egg yolk mixture from the
refrigerator. Add the egg white mixture and stir just until blended. Add
the ice cream. It's your choice whether to leave the ice cream in one
large block or to break it up into individual scoops. Sprinkle nutmeg on
top (if desired) and serve, using a ladle to fill individual mugs. Th<br />
e
ice cream will gradually melt in the mugs, adding a delectable
consistency and underlying smooth flavor. You, your family, and friends
will never settle for commercial eggnog again.scott jaredhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05108642176676546883noreply@blogger.com0
