Re: OCTOBER RECIPE EXCHANGE GAME

LOW COUNTRY BOIL

Ingredients:
¼ pound cooked smoked sausage per person, cut into 1-inch pieces
¼ cup Old Bay seasoning or ANY crab boil 
2 small new potatoes per person
1 ear corn per person, shucked, silked and broken in ½
½ pound large, fresh shrimp per person (16-to-20-count size), shell on

Tartar sauce for serving
Cocktail sauce, for serving

 

Yield varies as needed.

Fill large pot with enough water to cover all ingredients.
Add sausage and crab boil seasoning and allow to boil for about 20 minutes so that sausage can flavor water. Carefully taste for seasoning; add more  if desired.

Add potatoes and boil for about 15 minutes.
Add corn and boil for 
about 10 minutes.
Finally, add shrimp and allow to cook for 3 minutes.

Carefully taste a shrimp and, if cooked through, drain immediately and serve on oversized platter or, as many Lowcountry families do, on a table covered with newspaper. Serve with tartar and cocktail sauces.

 

Next ingredient:  Ground beef

INGREDIENTS

2 pounds sweet potatoes - peeled, coarsely shredded and squeezed dry
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3 tablespoons melted unsalted butter, plus more for brushing
Marshmallow Fluff, for topping
Chopped toasted pecans, for topping

 

Heat an 8-inch waffle iron and preheat the oven to 200°. In a large bowl, mix the shredded sweet potatoes with the eggs, flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, salt and the 3 tablespoons of melted butter.

Transfer to a rack in the oven to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining potato mixture. Serve the waffles topped with Marshmallow Fluff and chopped toasted pecans.

Re: OCTOBER RECIPE EXCHANGE GAME

Coconut Jelly

 

1 cup warm water
4 sachets powdered gelatin (just shy of 4 tablespoons)
3 cups cream of coconut
1/2 cup whole milk
Nonstick cooking spray
2 cups canned pineapple chunks in sweetened juice
1/2 cup maraschino cherries with stems



Begin by blooming the gelatin. In a small bowl, add the water and slowly pour in the gelatin powder, stirring well until fully incorporated. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, add the coconut cream and milk. Stir well with a whisk to combine. Bring to a simmer then stir in the gelatin mixture. Once the mixture comes to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes.
Spray an 8 by 8-inch nonstick square cake pan with a little nonstick spray (this will help hold down the plastic wrap). Line the cake pan with plastic wrap (1 sheet across 1 way and another sheet across the other way, works well), leaving enough overhang so you can pick the jelly up from the pan. Give the coconut mixture a final whisk and pour it into the lined pan. Allow to cool slightly before putting it in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours or overnight.
To serve, remove the jelly from pan using the plastic wrap and invert it onto a cutting board. Remove the plastic wrap and discard. Using a hot knife cut the jelly into 1 1/2-inch cubes. Serve in small bowls with chilled pineapple chunks, pineapple juice and maraschino cherries.
