DECEMBER 2017 RECIPE GAME

momtochloe — Fri, 01 Dec 2017 17:54:00 GMT

Welcome to December friends! Ho Ho Noooooooo, where did this year go? Lets celebrate this joyous season with sharing your always wonderful recipes! . . .

.HOW TO PLAY.......

The first player of the month starts the game by posting their choice of recipe. At the end of the text, she or he types, "the next ingredient: xxx."

(The x's represent that person's choice of any ingredient that can be included in a recipe).

Throughout the game, the next poster in line must use the ingredient that the person ahead chose. If you can, highlight the ingredient and/or put it in capital letters anywhere that it is used throughout the recipe. That does make it easier for everyone to see how the game works.

Because of time or system delays, some duplicate posts occur to the same ingredient. The next poster generally responds to the first post for the next ingredient. Good recipes and lots of fun!!

Normally, we start out with a recipe so I will post the last one shared on the November thread and we can take it from there if that's ok with every body (thanks again to our friend @GenXmuse!):.

Harris Teeter makes a Rosemary Olive Oil Bread that I love. I found this recipe that is very similar.

I've also cheated and just taken frozen bread dough and kneeded in the herbs and spices after it defrosted but before I set it out to rise.

Rosemary Olive Oil Bread INGREDIENTS

1 cup warm water (100-110 F)
1 Tbsp. organic cane sugar
2 tsp. active dry yeast
1 tsp. salt
2 Tbsp. fresh rosemary, chopped (or 2 tsp. dried)
1/4 tsp. Italian seasoning (or pinch of each ground garlic, dried oregano, and dried basil)
1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
1 1/2 cups white whole wheat flour
1/2 cup bread flour + extra for kneading
1 egg, whisked + 1 Tbsp. water, for egg wash
dried rosemary, for sprinkling

DIRECTIONS

1. In a large bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit 10 minutes to proof.

2. Stir in the salt, rosemary, seasonings, olive oil, and whole wheat flour. Add the bread flour and stir until the dough forms a ball. Knead on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes, adding more flour as necessary to prevent sticking, until smooth.

3. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl; cover; and let rise until doubled in size, about1 hour.

4. Punch down the dough and form it into a round loaf. Place it on a cornmeal dusted pizza peel or parchment paper; cover; and let rise until doubled in size, about 45 minutes.

5. Meanwhile, preheat oven (and pizza stone) to 400 F. Once the dough has risen, gently brush the top with egg wash and sprinkle with dried rosemary.

6. Bake on preheated stone for 20-25 minutes until the top is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.

Makes 1 round loaf.

Cream Cheese Banana Nut Bread (Southern Living)
***Makes 2 loaves***

I cut this out of the magazine a number of years ago and it's on my list to make next time I need a banana nut bread for something. Every baked item I've made from Southern Living has been amazingly good.

Ingredients

3/4 c. butter, softened
1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened
2 c. sugar
2 large eggs
3 c. all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 cups mashed bananas (about 4 medium bananas)
1 cup roughly chopped pecans, toasted
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

Beat butter and cream cheese at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Gradually add sugar, beating until light and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating just until blended after each addition.

Combine flour and next 3 ingredients; gradually add to butter mixture, beating at low speed just until blended. Stir in bananas, pecans, and vanillla. Spoon batter into 2 greased and floured 8x4 inch loafpans.

Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour or until a long wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean and sides pull away from pan, shielding with aluminum foil last 15 minutes to prevent browning, if necessary. (I found that after one hour, my banana bread wasn't completely cooked through. I ended up baking it for an extra 10-15 minutes.) Cool bread in pans on wire racks for 10 minutes. Remove from pans, and cool 30 minutes on wire racks before slicing.

NEXT INGREDIENT: Bananas

Add pudding mix; whisk until pudding is dissolved. Gently fold Cool Whip into the mixture. Spread half of mixture over the crust. Dip banana slices in lemon juice. Arrange bananas over mixture in the spring-form pan. Spread remaining mixture over bananas. Cover the pan with foil and refrigerate overnight or until firm. To serve, remove collar from spring-form pan; cut into wedges. For a fancier presentation, sprinkle graham cracker crumbs on top of each serving, if desired. Refrigerate leftovers.

VaBelle35 — Wed, 06 Dec 2017 02:21:41 GMT

Since we are not getting anything for Marzipan, I will give you a recipe for Almond Paste which is in the same family, just less sweet.

These are something we make in my family all the time. And they are super easy, too. They are always better 1-2 days later as the almond paste has time to rest.

LIDIA'S PIGNOLI COOKIES (Lidia Bastianich)

YIELD 30 cookies

ACTIVE TIME15 minutes

TOTAL TIME 30 minutes

INGREDIENTS

2 7-ounce tubes almond paste

1 cup sugar

2 large egg whites

finely grated zest of one orange

1½ cups whole pine nuts

PREPARATION

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment. Crumble almond paste into the work bowl of a food processor and process until the paste is in fine crumbs. Sprinkle in the sugar with the motor running. Once the sugar is incorporated, add the egg whites and orange zest. Process to make a smooth dough, about 20 to 30 seconds. Spread the pine nuts on a plate. Form the dough into 2-tablespoon-sized balls by rolling in in between the palms of your hands, then roll the dough in the pine nuts until coated, then place on baking sheets. Bake until lightly golden and springy to the touch, about 13 to 15 minutes. Let cool on baking sheets for about 5 minutes, then transfer the cookies to cooling racks to cool completely.

NEXT INGREDIENT: Oranges, Orange Juice or Orange Zest

Rich Beef Barley Soup (Barefoot Contessa)

This is my favorite winter soup.

The one thing that amuses me about Ina's recipes are the serving sizes. This recipe says it makes 6 servings. If everyone gets their own tourine! LOL It makes a LOT but freezes well. I always make half the recipe.

Total: 2 hr 35 min Prep: 15 min Cook: 2 hr 20 min

Yield: 6 servings Level: Easy

Ingredients

1 tablespoon good olive oil
2 pounds beef oxtails
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups chopped leeks, white and light green parts (2 leeks)
2 cups (1/2-inch) diced carrots (4 carrots)
1 cup chopped yellow onion
1 cup (1/2-inch) diced celery (2 stalks)
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 sprigs fresh thyme leaves
3 bay leaves
10 cups canned beef broth
1 cup pearled barley

Directions

Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven, such as Le Creuset. Add the oxtails, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes until browned all over. Remove the oxtails with a slotted spoon and reserve.

Add the leeks, carrots, onion, celery, and garlic to the fat in the pot and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes, until the vegetables start to brown. Tie the thyme sprigs together with kitchen string and add to the pot along with the bay leaves. Return the oxtails to the pot and add the broth, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of pepper. Raise the heat and bring to a boil. Lower the heat, cover, and simmer for 1 hour. Discard the thyme bundle and the bay leaves, and skim off the fat.

Meanwhile, bring 4 cups of water to a boil and add the barley. Simmer uncovered for 30 minutes, drain, and set aside.

When the soup is ready, add the barley and cook the soup for another 15 or 20 minutes, until the barley is tender. Depending on the saltiness of the stock, the soup might need another teaspoon of salt and some pepper. Serve hot, with or without the oxtails.

Re: DECEMBER 2017 RECIPE GAME

walker — Fri, 08 Dec 2017 19:12:11 GMT

These are definitely worth a little extra time to make......

APRICOT TARTS

1/2 cup butter, softened

1 pkg. (3 oz size) Cream Cheese, softened...if you can find it, but

you will need extra for topping so I use 8 oz size

1 cup all-purpose flour

3/4 cup finely chopped dried apricots

3/4 cup water

1/3 cup chopped pecans

1/4 cup sugar

2 tablespoons orange marmalade

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/8 teaspoon ground cloves

Topping:

2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened

1 tablespoon butter, softened

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup CONFECTIONER'S SUGAR

Blend butter, cream cheese and flour. Chill for 1 hour. Meanwhile, in a saucepan, bring the apricots and water to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer for 5 minutes. Drain. Add the pecans, sugar, marmalade, cinnamon and cloves; set aside. Shape dough into 24 balls. Press onto the bottom and up the sides of greased mini-muffin cups. Spoon apricot mixture into cups. Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes or until browned. Cool for 10 minutes; remove from pans to wire rack to cool completely. For topping, combine cream cheese and butter. Stir in the vanilla and mix until smooth. Beat in the CONFECTIONER'S SUGAR. Spoon a dollop onto each tart before serving.

NEXT INGREDIENT ....... CHILI SAUCE

Re: DECEMBER 2017 RECIPE GAME

VaBelle35 — Sat, 09 Dec 2017 16:42:16 GMT

I had never heard of chili sauce before I saw this recipe. I apparently read it in a doctor's office and ripped it out of the magazine because it's from LHJ and I never subscribed to that. ;/

The patties freeze very well, so I often make a double batch and freeze them in serving sized with my Foodsaver for a easy weeknight meal as a bottle of chili sauce lasts forever and you can always use bottled lime juice in a pinch.

Ingredients:

1 small onion; roughly chopped
1 clove garlic
2 tsp grated fresh ginger
1 green chile or jalapeno; seeded
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts; cut into pieces
1/3 cup cilantro leaves
2 tbsp fish sauce
2 egg whites
1/2 cup plain bread crumbs
Sweet chili sauce
Lime wedges

In a food processor, combine onion, garlic, ginger and chile and pulse until finely chopped. Add chicken, cilantro and fish sauce and pulse until well blended but not quite pureed. Transfer to a bowl and stir in egg whites and bread crumbs.

Heat broiler to high with a rack 4 inches from heat. Line 2 baking sheets with foil and lightly coat with cooking spray. Coat hands with cooking spray and shapte 24 patties, about 1/2 inch thick. Place on baking sheets.

broil each batch until patties are lightly browned, about 4 min. Then turn over and broil 4 min. more.

Serve with chili sauce and lime wedges.

Heirloom Divinity

Be still my heart...

Divinity Recipe

Prep time
10 mins
Cook time
35 mins
Total time
45 mins

Serves: 8

Ingredients
2 cups sugar
½ cup white corn syrup
½ cup cold water
2 egg whites, room temperature
pinch of salt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla
1 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Instructions
Heat the sugar, corn syrup and water over medium heat in a heavy bottomed saucepan. Using a candy thermometer, heat the mixture until it reaches 250º F, a hard ball stage.

As the syrup is cooking, whip egg whites, along with a pink of salt, until stiff peaks have formed.

When the sugar syrup has reached hard ball stage (250º F), remove it from the heat and begin to slowly pour it into the beaten egg whites, whipping together at a high speed.

Add the vanilla and continue whipping the mixture on high until it holds its shape and does not fall back onto itself, about 5-6 minutes. Stir in chopped pecans, if using.

Using two teaspoons and working quickly, drop scoops of divinity onto sheets of waxed paper that has been placed on top of cooling racks. If the divinity begins to harden, add a few drops of warm water to help loosen it while working.

Allow the divinity to dry and harden. This usually takes a couple of hours to overnight. Store in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
