Gnocchi aux patates

Source: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/mario-batali/gnocchi-alla-ciociaria-ciociaria-style-gnocchi-recipe/index.html

Notes: Je fais cuire 4 patates et je fais 2 recettes séparées.  La deuxième recette de gnocchis, je les dépose sur un papier parchemin sur une plaque à biscuits et je les fais congeler non cuits.

Je fais la sauce à la saucisse pour accompagner les gnocchis.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound russet potatoes (2 grosses patates)
  • 2/3 cup all-purpose flour (1 1/3 tasses semoule de blé dur)
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons canola oil (huile d’olive)

Directions

  1. Place the whole potatoes in a saucepan with water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook at a low boil until they are soft, about 45 minutes.
  2. While still warm, peel the potatoes and pass them through a vegetable mill onto a clean pasta board.
  3. Bring about 6 quarts to a boil. Set up an ice bath with 6 cups ice water and 6 cups water nearby.
  4. Make a well in the center of the potatoes and sprinkle all over with the flour (semoule de blé dur).  Break the egg into the center of the well, add the salt, and, using a fork, stir into the flour (semoule de blé dur) and potatoes as if you were making pasta.
  5. Once the egg is mixed in, bring the dough together, kneading gently until a ball is formed. Knead gently another 4 minutes, until ball is dry to the touch.
  6. Divide the dough into 2 large balls. Roll each ball into 3/4 inch-diameter ropes and cut the ropes into 1-inch-long pieces. Flick the pieces off of a fork or along the concave side of a cheese grater to score the sides.
  7. Drop the dough pieces into the boiling water and cook until they float to the surface, about 1 minute (4 minutes).
  8. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the gnocchi to the ice bath.
  9. Meanwhile, continue with the remaining dough, forming ropes, cutting 1-inch pieces, and flicking them off a fork. Continue until all the gnocchi have been cooked and allow them to sit several minutes in the ice bath.
  10. Drain the gnocchi and transfer to a mixing bowl. Toss with the canola oil (huile d’olive) and store covered in the refrigerator for up to 48 hours or until ready to serve.

Rôti de porc avec sauce aux pommes

Source: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/tyler-florence/bone-in-pork-roast-with-broccoli-rabe-sweet-italian-sausage-and-roasted-peaches-recipe/index.html

Ingredients

  • 1 center-cut bone-in pork roast, about 5 pounds
  • 1 gallon water
  • 1 cup kosher salt
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon whole peppercorns
  • 1 bunch fresh thyme, divided
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Olive oil
  • 4 carrots, peeled
  • 1 head garlic, split
  • 1 onion, halved
  • 2 shallots, halved
  • 2 cups apple juice

Directions

  1. Have butcher cut the chine bone in between each rib of the pork roast to make carving easier. Leave the fat cap on for added moisture and flavor. Line a large stockpot or bucket with a plastic bag. Pour water into the bag and dissolve salt and brown sugar. Add peppercorns and a few thyme sprigs. Place the pork roast in the bag of brine. Tie the bag closed so the pork is submerged. Refrigerate for 6 hours, the brine will tenderize the meat.
  2. Remove pork from the brine and dry thoroughly with paper towels.
  3. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lay thyme sprigs all over the pork roast, season with salt and pepper, then secure with butcher’s twine to help hold the shape.
  4. Coat a roasting pan with a little olive oil and set on 2 burners over high heat until almost smoking. Sear the pork, fat side down, until caramelized. Turn the roast to brown all sides, this should take about 10 minutes.
  5. To flavor the pork drippings, scatter carrots, garlic, onion, shallots and more thyme sprigs in the pan, then transfer the roast to oven. Roast until a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the roast registers 150 degrees F, approximately 1 hour.
  6. Remove the pork to a cutting board and let it rest while preparing the pan sauce.
  7. Discard the aromatic vegetables from the roasting pan, set pan on 2 burners over medium heat. Deglaze with apple juice, scraping up the brown bits stuck to the bottom of the pan. Reduce by a third. Season with salt and pepper; whisk in butter to smooth out.
  8. Cut the twine and carve the roast. Drizzle sauce over meat before serving.
