Nov 10 Review Dinner
#11
  Re: (...)
This is my first time to choose the menu so I spent some time going through my early issues to find things I missed trying. I tried to check the board to make sure these are not already reviewed somewhere. Also, I'm hoping a Members Plus person can help post some of the recipes. If not, I can type them in.

Appetizer - Antipasto Platter (12:6) Any combination of
Spicy Marinated Olives
Sweet and Sour Onions
Aromatic Olives
Roasted Peppers with Fresh Mozzarella
Zucchini Rolls
Ricotta Cones
Italian Meats & cheeses
Bread
Assorted Pickled products

Salad - Romaine with creamy Italian dressing (47:37) or other simple salad

Main - Turkey Saltimbocca with Marsala Sauce (12:33)

Dessert - Goat Cheese Cheesecake with red grape compote (71:49) (I'm sure this won't be available in Members Plus, so I'll go type it in and post it in a little while.)

The antipasto didn't seem to make it into the Member's Plus collection for some reason. Luckily, I already had these typed up for Cis.

Spicy Marinated Olives

Combine and marinate:

2 cups large unpitted green olives
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 large clove garlic, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon fennel seed, toasted
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
½ teaspoon sweet paprika
½ teaspoon oregano leaves

Aromatic Olives

Combine and marinate:

2 cups assorted unpitted olives
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
½ teaspoon cracked black pepper


Sweet and Sour Onions

Blanch and peel:

10 oz pearl onions (red and white)

Saute onions in 1 T. extra virgin olive oil with:

1 teaspoon garlic, minced

Add, then, simmer:

¼ cup white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
6 whole cloves
½ teaspoon cracked black pepper
¼ teaspoon salt

Cool; Chill at least 24 hours.



Roasted Peppers with Fresh Mozzarella

1. Roast red bell peppers over a gas flame or under a broiler until blackened and blistered. Place in a zip bag, seal, and steam for 10 minutes.
2. Peel skin off steamed peppers (it’s okay if a little black remains). Cut out stem and remove seeds. Cut peppers into 2-3” pieces.
3. Dip one side of fresh mozzarella slices in olive oil, then sprinkle with chopped fresh basil. Do this just before serving or basil will brown.
4. Arrange pieces of roasted red pepper and mozzarella slices in an arc. Slightly overlap them. Four or five pieces of each is enough.

OH How fun is this!!!
Great choices HC, this will be fun. Spicy olives and roasted peppers will make a great appy with some wine or maybe martinis
I'll go find Turkey saltimboco, luckily Tammy gave me some CD's of the older issues. That's Issue 12 I guess?
Hubby is happy too.

Goat Cheese Cheesecake with Red Grape Compote

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 8 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories :

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
For the Crust:
1 cup walnuts -- toasted
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 stick unsalted butter -- melted
For the Filling
1 pound goat cheese -- room temperature
4 ounces cream cheese -- room temperature
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup sour cream
3 eggs -- room temperature
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Red Grape Compote
rosemary sprigs -- for garnish

Preheat oven to 350.

Toast walnuts in a 350 oven until golden and aromatic, 10-15 minutes.
Allow to cool.

Process walnuts, cracker crumbs, and sugar in a food processor until fine;
transfer to a bowl and stir in butter.

Press crumbs onto the bottom and 1" up the sides of a 9" springform pan.
Patch any holes that could cause the filling to leak.

Bake crust until golden, about 10 minutes; cool while preparing the
filling. Reduce oven temperature to 250.

Beat both cheeses, sugar, and sour cream together in a stand mixer fitted
with a paddle attachment (or a hand mixer on low speed) until light and
fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well and scraping down the sides
of the bowl after each addition. Beat in cream and vanilla.

Pour filling into cooled crust, smooth the top, and bake at 250 for 1 to 1 1/4 hours. The center will not be fully set. Remove cake from oven and
let stand at room temperature until completely cool; cover and chill
overnight.

To serve, remove sides form the pan, then slice. Before making each cut,
dip a thin-bladed knife into a glass of hot water and wipe dry with a
towel. To remove a slice from the cake, turn the knife sideways and lift
the piece out, or use a narrow-bladed spatula. A small offset spatula
works well. Garnish with Red Grape Compote and a sprig of rosemary.

Don't overcook the wine syrup or else it will thicken too
far and make the grape topping sticky and gloppy.

Thanks for typing that one in HC. Saves me from having to do it. The saltimbocca and salad I don't have access to. I'm wondering, is it like the Chicken one from Cuisine Tonight?

medallions Gently pound pieces between plastic with flat side of a mallet

turkey in egg mixture, then dredge in flour.

Saute each side of turkey until golden brown (about 2 minutes each).
Transfer to platter. Saute other pieces and set aside.

Prepare Marsala Sauce. Or, if you've made it ahead, rewarm in saucepan
over low heat. Finish with butter if desired.

In another saucepan, combine the rinsed beans, broth, cheese, sage and
pepper. Warm gently - don't overcook.

Transfer Marsala sauce to a large skillet; add sage and seasonings. Over
medium heat, warm the turkey and slices of prosciutto in the sauce.

Saute strips of Swiss chard.

Divide white beans among serving plates. Blot the chard dry with paper
towels, then arrange in a mound in the middle of the beans.

Fan slices of turkey and pieces of prosciutto slices around the chard.
Garnish each plate with a sprig of sage.
