An experiment gone well...

2 lb london broil
2 tomatos sliced
2-3 clove minced garlic
8-10 leaves sliced fresh basil
3-4 oz blue cheese
Salt&Pepper

-Butterfly cut a london broil and unfold (you can use toothpicks inserted vertically to prevent yourself from cutting all the way accross)
-Rub inside with minced garlic and basil
-Layer in sliced tomato
-Crumble on blue chease
-Salt&Pepper
-Close the london broil back over and uses skewers to secure shut.
-Grill to med-rare or desired doneness.


This was a pretty good experiment if you ask me.

All quick.

For every intended serving:
6 oz langostinos
1 finely chopped stalk of celery
1 finely chopped slice of onion
1 large clove of garlic
Thyme, Old Bay to taste
Chardonnay
Butter
Olive oil

Saute the langos quickly in olive oil butter and garlic. Add the celery and onion, toss to coat and heat. Finish the saute with the chardonnay, flame it off and adjust the seasonings. Serve over angel hair.


For every serving:
2 cups chopped tomatoes, peppers, onions, banana peppers

One solid pinch cilantro
half a lime
shake of salt
dash of cayenne ( of course anything hot will do)
thin pinch of oregano
T chili powder
1 1/2 T Garlic
Butter
Olive oil
t Marinara
grilled chicken breast, boneless
Thick sliced cheddar (enough to completely cover the chicken breast but not much more)

Heat the oil and butter, add the garlic, get a sizzle going and dump in the vegetables. Toss to heat and coat. Add the seasonings and the marinara (just a dab, really). Toss well. Heat through. Finish with the lime juice. Let sit a half minute. Cover the chicken breast with the pan salsa and then cover the salsa with the cheese. Bake until the cheese begins to color. Serve with bread.



For every serving:

Ten large shrimp, peeled (I leave the tails on)

Olive oil
2T chopped garlic
Salt
good handful of spinach
1/2 cup red onion, thin sliced
Powdered onion
Italian seasoning
Four strips of bacon, sliced into quarters and cooked
Sherry

Salt the shrimp on both sides (unless they've never been frozen)

Stir-fry them up in the garlic just a few seconds. Add all but the wine, stir, heat, add the wine, toss quickly and put a lid on for a minute. Let simmer a moment, stir until all spinach is wilted thoroughly sprinkle parmesan on the top, and serve (this works with mussels as well)

170. angel-five - 10/9/2001 1:23:07 PM

Oh, I forgot the simplest one.

8-10 large scallops
Flour
Cornstarch
Old Bay
Parsley, finely chopped
Olive oil
Butter
Garlic, finely chopped

Mix a little Old Bay with the flour and cornstarch and dredge the scallops in them. Saute them up in a hot pan in the butter oil and garlic until well colored. Drain excess oil and butter if necessary when done. Toss in two T each of the garlic and parsley and toss them all around in the pan until you end up with the parsley and garlic coating the scallops. Sprinkle lightly with salt and dig in.




171. angel-five - 10/9/2001 1:26:05 PM

Sorry, that's 'saute them up in a hot pan with the butter and oil'. The garlic browns and gets bitter if you add it that early.

This recipe substitutes pound cake for the more traditional Lady Fingers and serves twelve.

The basic ingredients in the one I will post calls for:

Marsala wine
macarpone cheese
lady fingers
heavy cream
sugar
hazelnuts
Nutella
milk
cocoa powder
espresso

Today I had a hot cinnamon bun drenched in a warmed vanilla butter frosting, topped with a scoop of french vanilla and whipped cream. And walnuts. I wanted to find the person who came up with that and shake his hand but I had to go back to work. Nothing all day long made me feel better tho.
