[MC-AllEthnic-Recipes] Warm Mascarpone Bread Pudding - Italian

 


* Exported from MasterCook *

Warm Mascarpone Bread Pudding - Italian

Recipe By :"La Cucina Italiana"
Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Veggie

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
8 ounces mascarpone cheese -- softened
3 egg yolks
2 tablespoons Maraschino liqueur -- divided
zest of 1 lemon
To grease: -- unsalted butter and sugar (for ramekins)
12 slices brioche bread
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup whole milk
1 tablespoon apricot jam
To garnish: -- Confectioners' sugar for dusting
1/2 cup dried apricots -- diced

Preheat oven to 400°.

Cream half of the mascarpone with the egg yolks, 1 tablespoon Maraschino liqueur and the lemon zest.

Generously butter six 3-inch ramekins, sprinkle with sugar, and tap out the excess. Place a round of buttered parchment paper in the bottom.

Cut 12 disks of brioche bread the same size as the ramekins, and moisten with the cream. Place 1 round of brioche in each ramekin, and spread the mascarpone-egg mixture on top of the bread. Top each ramekin with a layer of brioche. Bake for 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, place the remaining half of the mascarpone in a bowl, and thin to a sauce consistency with the milk and the remaining 1 tablespoon Maraschino Liqueur. Mix in the jam, then spoon equal amounts of the sauce onto individual plates dusted with confectioners' sugar.

While still warm, unmold the puddings onto the plate and garnish with the dried apricots.

Enjoy the bold structure of a Malvasia delle Lipari from the islands off Sicily. Its dried apricot flavors make it the perfect wine to pair with this dessert.

Mix everything together & store in jar w/tight cover for use when needed.

AuthorNote: The Chinese have a mix called five-spice and Indians have garam masala. The Persian advieh is an aromatic mixture that can be heightened by doubling amount of ginger. I prefer proportions given here, which are balanced & will intensify herb flavor in various dishes to which it is added.

[MC-AllEthnic-Recipes] Pita Wedges with Green Olive Tapenade - 19g Carbohydrate; 2g Dietary Fiber

Pita Wedges with Green Olive Tapenade

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Condiment LowCal (Less than 300 cals)
LowerCarbs LowFat (Less than 25%)
Veggie

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3 whole-wheat (whole-meal) pita breads -- 6 inches in diameter, each cut into 8 wedges
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 shallot -- finely chopped
2 plum (Roma) tomatoes -- peeled and seeded, then finely chopped
1 clove garlic -- minced
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh oregano -- or 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes -- (optional)
1/2 cup dry white wine
3/4 cup pitted green olives -- rinsed, drained and roughly chopped
Grated zest of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf (Italian) parsley

Preheat the oven to 400 F. Arrange the pita bread wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake until crisp and lightly golden, about 8 minutes. Set aside to cool.

In a small frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the shallot and saute until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes, garlic, oregano and the red pepper flakes, if using, and saute until the tomatoes are tender, about 2 minutes. Add the wine and slowly bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring often, until the liquid has evaporated, about 6 minutes. The mixture will be thick. Remove from the heat, spoon the mixture into a small bowl and let cool completely.

When the tomato mixture has cooled to room temperature, add the olives and lemon zest. Stir to combine. The tapenade may be made ahead, covered and refrigerated for up to 2 days. Bring to room temperature before using.

Spoon 2 teaspoons of the tapenade onto each pita wedge, sprinkle evenly with the parsley and divide among individual plates - 4 wedges per plate. Serve immediately.

Serves 6

[MC-AllEthnic-Recipes] Greek Roasted Eggplant & Feta Dip - 4g Carbohydrate; 1g Dietary Fiber

 


* Exported from MasterCook *

Greek Roasted Eggplant & Feta Dip

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 12 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Condiment LowCal (Less than 300 cals)
LowerCarbs Veggie

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 medium eggplant -- (about 1 pound)
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese -- preferably Greek
1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
1 small red bell pepper -- finely chopped
1 small chile pepper -- such as jalapeƱo, seeded and minced (optional)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper -- or to taste
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 Pinch sugar -- (optional)

Position oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source; preheat broiler.

Line a baking pan with foil. Place eggplant in the pan and poke a few holes all over it to vent steam. Broil the eggplant, turning with tongs every 5 minutes, until the skin is charred and a knife inserted into the dense flesh near the stem goes in easily, 14 to 18 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board until cool enough to handle.

Put lemon juice in a medium bowl. Cut the eggplant in half lengthwise and scrape the flesh into the bowl, tossing with the lemon juice to help prevent discoloring. Add oil and stir with a fork until the oil is absorbed. (It should be a little chunky.) Stir in feta, onion, bell pepper, chile pepper (if using), basil, parsley, cayenne and salt. Taste and add sugar if needed.

12 servings, about 1/4 cup each
Active Time: 40 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes

Nutrition Per serving : 75 Calories; 6 g Fat; 2 g Sat; 4 g Mono; 6 mg Cholesterol; 4 g Carbohydrates; 2 g Protein; 2 g Fiber; 129 mg Sodium; 121 mg Potassium

Exchanges: 1/2 vegetable, 1 fat

Make Ahead Tip: Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days.

This roasted eggplant and feta dip gets a kick from a fresh chile pepper and cayenne pepper. There are countless variations on this classic meze (appetizer) in Greece. Out-of-season eggplant or eggplant that has been heavily watered often has an abundance of seeds, which make the vegetable bitter. Be sure to taste the dip before you serve it; if it's a touch bitter, you can remedy that with a little sugar. Serve with toasted pita crisps or as a sandwich spread.
