Rhubarb And Cream Cheese Pie

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Desserts Fruit
*** Good Eats Posted To Mastercook Group

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
3 Cups rhubarb in 1″ pieces — or chopped fine
1 Cup sugar
4 Tbsp. cornstarch
1/2 Tsp. Salt
1 Pkg. Cream cheese — (8 oz.)
1/2 Cup sugar
1 Large egg

Cook rhubarb, sugar, cornstarch and salt until thick. Pour into unbaked
pie shell. Bake 425F 10 minutes.
Mix cream cheese, sugar and eggs until creamy. Pour on top of rhubarb.
Filling will puff up as it bakes – if it completely fills the crust it will
spill over. Instead of a decorative pie shell edge I pinch it every couple
of inches to make it stand up.
Bake at 350F for 30 minutes.
If you bake it until the filling is lightly browned and the center looks
done it will be over-cooked.

(See Part 1)

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Position the rack in the bottom third
of the oven. Roll out the dough and cover the apples according to
directions for Tarte Tatin Pastry (see recipe below). Bake until the
crust is golden brown, about 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and
let cool for 10 minutes Run a knife around the edge of the tarte to
loosen it. Place in a large plate or platter over the skillet and
carefully but quickly invert the tarte onto the plate. Let stand a few
minutes to cool slightly. Cut into wedges and serve. Tarte Tatin Pastry:
Makes 2 Tartes Tatin pastrys shells. Combine the flour and salt in a
large mixing bowl. Add the butter. Rub the flour and butter between
your fingers until most of the butter is incorporated and only pea-size
pieces remain. Whisk together the egg yolk and water. Add the flour
mxture and stir until dough begins to come together. Gently press the
dough into a ball. Refrigerate until firm but not hard, about 30
minutes. (If made ahead let dough stand at room temperature until
pliable but still cold) Do not roll out until just before the fruit is
finished cooking. To roll out the pastry flour a work surface and
rolling pin well. Divide the dough in half. (Freeze the remaining dough
if not needed) Pat the dough into a flat disk then roll it out into a
circle almost 1/4 inch thick and at least 11 inches in diameter,
flouring the surface and the rolling pin frequently to prevent sticking.
Carefully place the pastry over the fruit in the skillet. Trim the dough
to 1/2 inch larger than the skillet Tuck the overhanging dough in around
the fruit. Recipe from “ A Well Seasoned Appetite.” by Mplly O’Neill

NOTES : For a Pear Tarte Tatin, substitute 6 large firm pears (Bosc or
Anjou would be good) for the apples. Peel the pears, cut them in half
lengthwise, and core them. Arrange them like spokes in the pan.

Title: RED-COOKED POT ROAST (SHANGHAI POT ROAST)
Categories: Chinese, Beef, Pork, Lamb
Yield: 12 servings

4 lb Chuck roast, boneless,
-not too lean
1 tb Sherry
1/2 c Regular soy sauce
1 c Water
2 sl Ginger
2 cl Garlic, optional
1 oz Sugar
2 Star anise stars
-(optional for pork)

Either brown the roast in a little fat or dunk it in
boiling water for a minute or so [this step is
optional]. Put it into a heavy kettle into which it
fits fairly snugly. Add all the rest of the
ingredients (ginger slices, star anise, and garlic
should be at the bottom of the pot). Bring to a boil,
then reduce heat and simmer covered, turning and
basting occasionally, for 3 hours or until tender.
Serve sliced, hot or cold. If cold, you may want to
weight it down with a brick covered in foil or some
similarly heavy item while chilling it in the fridge.

You may cook lamb or pork this way, but cut the
cooking time to 2 – 2 1/2 hr. For lamb add a cinnamon
stick instead of the star anise; for pork double the
soy sauce and sherry, either halve or omit the stare
anise, and use up to 4 oz of sugar to taste.
