Christmas Tiramisu

Recipe By : Jason McDonald
Serving Size : 10 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Desserts

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1 pound Mascarpone or soft cream cheese
3/4 c Sugar
8 lg Egg yolks
1/2 c Sweet wine
2 c Expresso or very strong
Black coffee (approx)
9 oz Ladyfingers or 14 oz. angel
Food or sponge cake — thinly sliced
1 tb Unsweetened cocoa

1. In a small bowl, using a fork, beat the cheese until creamy. Set aside.

2. Place a large (about 10-12 cups capacity) metal bowl over a pot of
boiling water. Using a hand-held electric mixer set on medium high, beat
the sugar and egg yolks in the bowl for 1 minute, or until the mixture is
well blended. With the mixer set on low speed to prevent splashing,
gradually add the wine. Continue to cook and beat the mixture, increasing
the speed to medium and then to high as the mixture thickens. Cook and beat
for 5-7 minutes, or until the mixture is thickened and light, scraping down
the sides of the bowl frequently with a rubber spatula.

3. Remove the bowl from the heat and continue to beat the mixture for 1
minute longer. Beat in the cheese just until blended (makes about 5 cups).

4. Pour one cup of the expresso into a small shallow bowl that is large
enough to hold a ladyfinger if it is placed horizontally in the bowl.

5. Quickly dip the rounded top side of each ladyfinger into the expresso.
Only the top half of the ladyfingers should be soaked with the expresso. If
the ladyfingers get too wet, they will fall apart! Add more coffee to the
bowl as needed.

6. Place the ladyfingers, flat side down, in the bottom of a 13 x 9 glass
or ceramic pan. Do not use a metal pan. Form one layer. Pour half of the
custard mixture over the ladyfingers and spread to cover them. Dip the
remaining ladyfingers in the expresso (there will be a few remaining ones
and form a second layer over the custard mixture. Pour the remaining
custard mixture over the ladyfingers and spread to an even layer.

7. Place the cocoa in a strainer and dust the top of the tiramisu evenly.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 10 hours.

Makes: 10-12 servings.

Title: CURRIED GOAT (SMOKED)
Categories: Main dish, Game
Yield: 14 servings

1 Goat; around 25 pounds,
-quartered

——————————–CURRY PASTE——————————–
4 md Onions; chunked
3/4 c Curry powder
1 Whole *bulb* garlic; peeled
1 tb Salt
1 To 2 fresh Habaneros -OR-
1 Scotch Bonnet chiles; minced
-OR-
4 To 5 fresh Jalapenos; minced
1 c Oil; pref. canola or corn

—————————-CURRY MOP (OPTIONAL—————————-
2 c Chicken or beef stock or
-beer
2 c Cider vinegar
1 1/2 c Oil (corn or canola)
1 c Water
2 tb Curry powder
Your Favorite Barbecue sauce

NOTE: Be CAREFUL when handling Habaneros or Scotch Bonnets!

The night before you plan to barbecue, prepare the paste in a food
processor. First process the onions, curry, garlic, salt and habaneros
until finely chopped. Then add the oil, processing until the mixture forms
a thick paste. This can be done in two batches if needed.

Wearing rubber gloves, rub the paste over the goat, covering the meat
evenly. Place the goat in a plastic bag and refrigerate overnight.

Before you begin to barbecue, remove the goat from the refrigerator and
let it sit, covered, at room temperature for 45 minutes.

Prepare the smoker for barbecuing, bringing the temperature to 200 to
220 degrees F.

If you plan to baste the meat…mix together the mop ingredients in a
saucepan and warm the liquid over low heat.

Transfer the goat to the smoker. Cook for about 1-1/4 hours per pound of
weight for each quarter. The forequarters will be done earlier than the
hindquarters, which may take 10 hours or longer, depending on size. In a
wood-burning pit, turn the meat and drizzle the mop over it every 30
minutes. In other styles of smokers, baste as appropriate and turn the meat
at the same time.

When the meat is done, remove it from the smoker, and allow it to sit
for 15 minutes before serving. Slice or shred the meat and serve with…
[your favorite barbecue sauce].
