ONIONY TEMPEH

Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories :
Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1 pk Tempeh
1/2 Onions — thinly sliced
1 t Butter
1 Garlic cloves, crushed
1 Chili peppers
1/2 ts Sauce, soy
1 t Sugar, brown

Dice tempeh and deep fry until crunchy. Fry onion in
butter until limp; add
garlic and chili pepper and saute briefly. Add fried
tempeh and stir around.
Add sweet soy sauce and brown sugar. Keep stirring
the mixture. Tempeh is fermented soy beans and paste
sold in “bricks.” The idea is to coat the tempeh with
the sugary, spicy, oniony, flavor…so you won’t taste
the tempeh. (G)

Title: Gujerati Carrot Salad
Categories: Indian, Salads, Vegan, Jaffray, Vegetarian
Yield: 4 servings

5 Carrots;medium
1/4 ts -Salt
2 tb Vegetable oil
1 tb Whole black Mustard seeds
2 ts Lemon juice

This is a Madhur Jeffrey recipe, published in the Toronto Sun.
“Jaffray was in town last week teaching at the Bonnie Stern School of
Cooking. Using ingredients available locally, primarily in the shops
along Gerrard just west of Coxwell, she wowed the classes with her
masterful teaching, attention to detail and wonderful aromatic
dishes. She also proved how good and easy Indian cooking can be. …
Jaffray taught us how roasting, crushing and grinding bring out
different qualities in a spice. Crushing mustard seeds, for example,
brings out their heat but tossing them ’til they pop in hot oil calms
the heat and brings out a sweet nuttiness. Black mustard seeds, the
finest mustard seeds are essential and inexpensive ingredient, found
in Indian groceries.”

Trim and peel and grate carrots. In a bowl, toss with salt and set
aside. In a small heavy pan over medium heat, heat oil. When very
hot, add mustard seeds. As soon as the seeds begin to pop, in a few
seconds, pour oil and seeds over carrots. Add lemon juice and toss.
SERVES:4
Serve at room temperature or cold.

Title: Saddle of Rabbit with Leeks and Rosemary
Categories: Game, Masterchefs, Frisco, Lec
Yield: 2 servings

————————MARINADE, RABBIT, AND SAUCE————————
3 lb Rabbit, use only the 2 tb Butter
— saddle section ** 1 1/3 c Wine, white
1 sm Carrot 1 c Stock, rabbit OR
1/2 md Onion 1 c Bouillon, chicken
1 ea Celery, stalk 1 md Tomato, sliced
1 ea Garlic, clove, crushed Salt (to taste)
2 ea Rosemary, fresh, sprigs Pepper (to taste)
1 tb Oil, olive

———————————–LEEKS———————————–
2 md Leeks Salt (to taste)
1 tb Butter

** The “saddle of a rabbit” is the rabbit’s back from the first rib
to the beginning of the legs.

Marinade:
=========

Put the saddle of the rabbit in a small bowl with 1 cup of white wine
and 1 sprig of rosemary. Chop the carrot, onion, celery, and garlic add
them to the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and store in the
refrigerator for 24 – 48 hours. (The longer the better for the flavor of
the rabbit meat.)

Rabbit:
=======

Preheat your oven to 450 F.

Remove the rabbit from the marinade and dry with a cloth. Salt and
pepper the rabbit.

In a medium roasting pan, add 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon
of olive oil. Heat the mixture until the butter sizzles.

Place the rabbit in the pan, skin side up, and brown. Turn, wrapping
flaps around the filet to protect it, and cook until light brown. Place
the pan in the 450 F oven and cook for 10 minutes, until medium rare.
Baste often.

Add the vegetables from the marinade to the pan with the rabbit and
cook for another 5 minutes, basting and turning occasionally.

Remove the rabbit from the pan and place it aside in a warm location.
Trim the saddle flaps from the rabbit and chop the flaps coarsely.

Sauce:
======

Return the chopped flaps to the pan with the vegetables. On the stove
top, saute briefly and skim the fat.

Deglaze the pan with 1/2 cup of wine, add the rabbit stock and reduce
by one-half.

Add the tomato and saute while stirring. Strain the hot mixture
through a sieve, reserving the liquid (for sauce) and discarding the
vegetables. Add the butter to the liquid and whisk until smooth.

Leeks:
======

Julienne the leeks. Rinse in cold water and drain well.

In a medium saute pan, add 1 tablespoon butter and leeks. Cook slowly
for 2 – 5 minutes. Leeks should remain crisp. Adjust the seasonings and
set the leeks aside in a warm place.

Assembly:
=========

Remove the filet of rabbit from the saddle. Cut the saddle bone
crosswise and place one section on each of two plates. Surround the
saddle bones with leeks.

Cut the filet of rabbit into very thin slices lengthwise. Fan slices
on top of the leeks.

Cover with sauce, garnish with sprigs of rosemary. Serve immediately.
