Mango Ice Cream with Caramelized Mango

September 27, 2007 at 11:09 am · Filed under Recipes ·Tagged , , ,

By Roy Finamore from Tasty: Get Great Food on the Table Every DayYou could make this creamy, eggless, Philadelphia-style ice cream without the caramelized mango, but it’s so much better with.

Makes: About 1 quart

Ingredients

For the caramelized mango:
1/3 cup sugar
1 mango, peeled, pitted, and cut into large dice

For the ice cream:
2 ripe mangoes, peeled, pitted, and coarsely chopped
Grated zest and juice of 1 lime
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon molasses
Pinch of coarse salt
2 cups heavy cream

Instructions

For the caramelized mango:
Pour the sugar into a heavy medium skillet. Cook over medium heat, swirling the sugar around in the pan often, until it is dark amber. Add the diced mango. The caramel will sputter and seize up. Don’t worry. Cook, stirring, just until the caramel dissolves. Scrape the mango into a bowl, cover, and chill thoroughly.

For the ice cream:
Process the mangoes in a food processor until you’ve made a smooth purée. Add the lime zest and juice, sugar, molasses, and salt. Process for a minute or so to dissolve the sugar. Scrape the purée out into a pitcher or bowl, whisk in the cream, cover, and refrigerate for at least 8 hours.
Freeze the ice cream base according to the instructions for your ice cream maker. When it’s just about frozen, add the caramelized mango. Chances are the ice cream will melt some; just keep freezing it until it’s firm again. Transfer to a container with a lid, and let the ice cream cure in the freezer for at least 2 hours before serving.

September 26, 2007 at 5:01 pm · Filed under Recipes ·Tagged , , ,

this used to be my favorite thing to eat at chinese restaurants when i was growing up. the recipe looks kind of complicated since it involves lots of little ingredients, but when i made it, i just sort of eyeballed the measurements, and it still came out pretty good.

ingredients
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice wine
1 tablespoon water
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon cornstarch

0.5 pound lean flank steak
0.5 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoons water
0.5 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoons sugar

0.5 tablespoon vegetable oil, divided
2 cloves garlic
3 cups broccoli florets (about 1 pound)
1/8 cup water
2 cups hot cooked rice

preparation
Combine first 6 ingredients; stir until well-blended, and set aside.

Trim fat from steak. Cut steak diagonally across the grain into 1-inch-thick slices. Cut slices into thin strips. Combine steak, .5 tablespoon cornstarch, 1 tablespoons water, 0.5 tablespoon soy sauce, and 1 teaspoons sugar in a medium bowl; stir until well-blended. Cover and marinate in refrigerator 15 minutes.

Heat 1 teaspoons oil in a wok or large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add steak mixture; stir-fry 2 minutes. Remove steak from pan; set aside. Add remaining 1 teaspoon oil, garlic; stir-fry over medium-high heat 30 seconds. Stir in broccoli and 1/4 cup water; cover and cook 3 minutes. Return steak to pan, and stir in oyster sauce mixture; stir-fry 2 minutes or until thick and bubbly. Serve over rice.

lemon/basil pasta

September 26, 2007 at 4:30 pm · Filed under Recipes ·Tagged , , , ,

one of my favorites. it’s so easy and it tastes very light and fresh.
ingredients
1/2 tsp salt
pasta (I usually just cook enough so that about half the dish is pasta)
1 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves minced garlic
1 medium zucchini, sliced
4 or 5 sprigs basil, leaves shredded
3 chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
1/2 cup halved cherry tomatoes
1 tsp lemon zest
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
black pepper or crushed red pepper flakes to taste (optional)

directions
Bring 4 quarts water to a full boil. Add 1/4 tsp salt and stir in pasta. Cook 1 minute less than what the directions show. While pasta cooks, warm oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add garlic, swirl for a moment and reduce heat to low. Do not let garlic brown. Add chicken and saute. After the outside of the chicken has cooked, add zucchini and yellow squash and sauté gently until zucchini softens slightly and chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Season mixture with 1/4 tsp salt and remove pan from heat. When pasta is finished cooking, drain noodles. Using tongs or 2 kitchen spoons, combine noodles thoroughly with zucchini mixture over low heat. Add basil and tomatoes and season with remaining 1/4 tsp salt. Sprinkle with lemon zest and juice and stir to combine. Serve immediately.
