Pâté à l’agneau (Lamb borek)

Source : https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/272905/lamb-borek

Note : J’ai remplacé les noix de pin par des graines de tournesol.

Je prépare la viande à l’avance pour qu’elle aie le temps de refroidir complètement.

Il reste des feuilles de pâte phyllo. On peut les utiliser pour faire de petits chaussons triangulaires s’il reste de la préparation de viande ou 2 chaussons aux fruits.

Ingredients :

For the lamb filling :

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 pounds ground lamb
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons currants
  • 3 tablespoons toasted pine nuts
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon allspice
  • 1 1/2 cups tomato sauce
  • 1/4 cup water

For the dough :

  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tablespoons full-fat plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 12 sheets frozen phyllo dough, thawed, or as needed
  • 2 teaspoons sesame seeds (optional)

For the yogourt sauce :

  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons very finely sliced mint leaves
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice, or to taste
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon water, or as needed
  • salt to taste
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
  • Add all ingredients to list

Directions

For the filling :

  1. Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion, salt, and lamb. Break up lamb into small crumbles. Cook, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid evaporates, about 8 minutes.
  2. Toss in garlic, currants, pine nuts, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, paprika, black pepper, cayenne, and allspice. Cook and stir for 1 minute.
  3. Pour tomato sauce into the lamb mixture. Add water, stir, and reduce heat to medium. Cook until lamb mixture dries up and you can stir it without seeing liquid on the bottom of the pan, 20 to 30 minutes. Turn off heat and let cool completely before using.

For the dough :

  1. In the meantime, combine egg, yogurt, water, and butter in a bowl. Whisk together thoroughly.
  2. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Butter a round baking pan or sheet pan.
  3. Place 2 sheets of phyllo on your work surface. Keep remaining sheets covered with a damp towel. Sprinkle some egg wash lightly on top and spread using a pastry brush. Layer on 2 more sheets, one at a time, brushing some more egg wash over each.
  4. Line 1/3 of the lamb filling along one wide edge of the phyllo. Roll pastry up starting from the filling side and place it against the edge of the pan. Brush more egg wash on top.
  5. Shape and fill 2 more rolls with remaining phyllo, most of the egg wash, and filling. Wrap rolls along and inside the first one, filling the pan, and brush with egg wash. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven until browned and crisp, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool for 15 minutes.

For the yogourt sauce :

  1. Combine yogurt, mint, lemon juice, and garlic for the yogurt sauce.
  2. Mix in enough water to achieve desired consistency for dipping. Season with salt and cayenne.
  3. Cut borek into wedges and serve with yogurt sauce.

Gnocchi alla Romana

Source : https://foodwishes.blogspot.ca/2016/10/roman-style-gnocchi-no-potatoes-were.html

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups milk
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
  • 1 1/4 cup semolina
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese (only about 1.25 ounces by weight, but if you grate it on a microplane, it will easily fill a cup)
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 3 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter for the top
  • more grated Parmigiano-Reggiano for the top

Direction:

  1. Line a rimmed sheet pan with plastic wrap.
  2. Place milk and salt in a saucepan. Bring almost to a simmer over medium-high heat. As soon as bubbles start to break the surface of the milk, gradually whisk in the semolina. Whisk until semolina becomes thick, about 20 seconds. Reduce heat to medium-low; continue stirring with a wooden spoon until very thick, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Add butter, grated cheese, and egg yolks. Stir quickly to prevent the yolks from cooking.
  3. Transfer mixture to prepared pan and spread out evenly. Cover with another piece of plastic wrap. Refrigerate until firm enough to cut, about 30 minutes.
  4. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Brush a round, shallow baking dish with butter.
  5. Using a round 2 3/4-inch cookie cutter, cut out circles of the semolina dough. Arrange in a circular overlapping pattern in the prepared baking dish.
  6. With your damp hands, form the scraps of dough into a small ball. Flatten and place between 2 pieces of plastic wrap to flatten to the same thickness of the other dough. Cut out a few more rounds and arrange in center of circle.
  7. Drizzle melted butter over gnocchi and brush it over them evenly. Sprinkle with a pinch of cayenne pepper and a generous dusting of grated cheese.
  8. Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, about 25 minutes.

Soupe wonton au porc et crevettes

Source : http://www.jamieoliver.com/news-and-features/features/wonderful-wonton-soup-recipe/#ahwptjpCiouFCqkp.97

Notes : Je prépare mon bouillon de poulet en l’assaisonnant avant d’y faire cuire les dumplings directement dans le bouillon jusqu’à ce qu’ils flottent puis j’ajoute le bok choy à la fin.  J’ajoute l’oignon vert en garniture sur la soupe au moment de servir.

J’utilise un 1/2 paquet de pâte wonton que je fais dégeler la veille (environ 34-35 dumplings).

Donne 6 portions

Ingredients :

For the wonton dumplings (makes around 36 small ones)

  • 36 small wonton pastry wrappers, round or square (you can find these in the fridges of Asian supermarkets)
  • 150g uncooked and shelled prawns, finely chopped
  • 150g lean pork mince
  • 1 tbsp grated ginger
  • 1 tbsp light soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar or rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 2 spring onions, finely chopped
  • White pepper

For the soup

  • 1.5 litres chicken stock
  • 2 small heads of pak choi (ou bok choy), roughly sliced
  • 1 tsp light soy sauce
  • 2 tsp rice vinegar or rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 2 generous pinches of white pepper
  • 2 spring onions, finely chopped

Directions :

Wonton-making method:
  1. Place a heaped teaspoon of filling mixture in the middle of the top half of the wrapper.
  2. Wet your finger and run a little water around the edge of the top half of the wrapper.
  3. Fold the bottom up and over the filling, so it meets with the top edge. If square, bring the bottom corner of the diamond up to meet the top corner.
  4. Run your finger over the filling to push out any air bubbles, then press the pastry firmly around the meat so you have a sealed parcel.
  5. Turn it over and dab some water in the middle. Tightly fold one corner into the middle. Add another dab of water and then tightly fold in the other corner. If using a square, you can tuck down the top corner that remains sticking out at this stage.
  6. Repeat until you’ve used up all of the wonton wrappers and filling.
  7. As you make each dumpling, keep them under a clean tea towel that has been run under the tap and wrung out. This prevents them from drying out.

The soup :

  1. In a large pan, bring your chicken stock to a gentle boil.
  2. Meanwhile, cook the dumplings. Fill the biggest saucepan you have with plenty of water and bring it to the boil. Add enough dumplings to create a single layer on the water. It’s important not to overcrowd the pot, so cook them in batches if you are cooking lots. Stir them gently as you bring the water up to the boil again. When the dumplings float to the top, they are cooked.
  3. Once the dumplings float, use a slotted spoon to transfer them to your gently boiling chicken stock. Add the pak choi – first the white parts and then a minute later, the green parts. Bring the liquid up to the boil again and allow them to cook for around three minutes.
  4. Turn off the heat and season your stock with the soy sauce, rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil and plenty of white pepper to taste.
  5. Serve up six dumplings per bowl, then pour over a couple of ladles of the liquid. Finish off with a scattering of chopped spring onions, and serve immediately.

Chop suey

Note : J’utilise un rôti de faux-filet ou de longe de porc que je fais cuire au préalable et coupe en lanières.

J’ajoute des cashews ou des arachides en garniture à la fin.

Ingrédients

  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon oyster sauce
  • 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 pound pork tenderloin, cut crosswise into 1/8-inch-thick strips
  • 2 celery ribs diagonally cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
  • 6 oz snow peas diagonally cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
  • 1/2 lb bok choy, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices (leaves and ribs separately)
  • 1/4 lb mushrooms cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
  • 1 onion, halved lengthwise and into 1/4-inch-thick strips
  • 1 green bell pepper cut into 1/4-inch-thick strips, then halved crosswise
  • 1/4 lb mung bean sprouts, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (5-oz) can sliced water chestnuts
  • 1 (5-oz) can sliced bamboo shoots
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • Vegetable oil (olive oil)
  • Water
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Préparation

  1. Stir together garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon oyster sauce, soy sauce, salt, and 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch in a bowl. Stir in pork and marinate 15 minutes.
  2. Keep cut vegetables separate. Heat a wok over high heat until a bead of water dropped onto cooking surface evaporates immediately. Drizzle 1 teaspoon vegetable oil around side of wok, then stir-fry celery, seasoning with salt, until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Transfer celery to a large bowl.
  3. Reheat wok and stir-fry each remaining vegetable separately in same manner (but allow only 1 minute for bean sprouts), adding 1 teaspoon oil to wok before each batch and seasoning with salt. When stir-frying bok choy, begin with ribs, then add leaves and 1 tablespoon water after 1 minute. Transfer each vegetable as cooked to bowl with celery.
  4. Stir together chicken broth, 1 teaspoon oyster sauce, and 1 teaspoon cornstarch.
  5. Reheat wok over high heat until a bead of water evaporates immediately. Drizzle 1 tablespoon vegetable oil around side of wok, then stir-fry pork until just cooked through, about 2 minutes.
  6. Return all vegetables to wok and toss. Make a well in center, then stir broth mixture and add to well. Bring sauce to a boil, undisturbed, then stir to combine with pork and vegetables. Serve immediately, with cooked rice.

Pierogis

Source : http://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/homemade-pierogi-recipe

Note :

Yield: 1 to 2 dozen pierogi, depending on size

Ingrédients :

Dough

Filling

  • 1 cup warm mashed potatoes
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

To finish

  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 2 large shallots, diced; OR one medium onion, thinly sliced

Préparation :

  1. To make the dough: Mix together the flour and salt. Add the egg to the flour and combine. The dough will be quite clumpy at this stage.
  2. Work in the sour cream and soft butter until the dough comes together in a slightly rough, slightly sticky ball.
  3. Using just your fingertips, knead and fold the dough without adding additional flour until the dough becomes less sticky but still quite moist.
  4. Wrap the dough well in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 to 60 minutes, or up to 48 hours.
  5. To make the filling: Combine the warm mashed potato and cheese. Stir and mash until the cheese is melted and the filling is cool to the touch. Taste and adjust the seasonings with salt and pepper.
  6. To fill the pierogi: Roll half the dough 1/8″ thick. Use a 2″ round cutter to cut circles of dough. Repeat with the other half of the dough. Save the scraps; these can be snipped into small pieces and added to simmering soups.
  7. Place 2 teaspoons of filling on each round of dough. Gently fold the dough over, forming a pocket around the filling. Pinch the edges of the pierogi to seal, then seal again with the tines of a fork.
  8. At this point the pierogi can be frozen for up to 4 weeks, or refrigerated overnight, or cooked in a large stockpot of boiling salted water. Only cook about 10 pierogi at a time, so that they have room to float without sticking. When the pierogi float after about 10 minutes, they’re done.
  9. Sauté the shallots or onion in the butter i a large skillet until the onion begins to brown. Add the drained pierogi and cook until browned and crisped. Serve hot with additional sour cream, applesauce, or other condiments.
