Blog Post & Recipe: Jellied Turkey Terrine with Parsley and Capers

Here's an unusual way to use up left-over roast turkey: a delicate terrine set with naturally jellied stock and flavoured with a zingy mixture of fresh parsley, capers and gherkins. I made this with the leftovers of two chickens (not having a spare gobbler to hand) but it will work just as well with turkey, provided that you boil the stock long enough for it to form a gentle jelly.

BTW, this soup, pong tauhu, should not be confused with the Indonesian tahu pong. Although they are probably derived from the same root, tahu pong are fried tofu puffs. Those in this recipe are denser dumplings of tofu that are not fried.

Basic Turkey Gravy / Butter and Soy Sauce / Sweet Potato Risotto

Blog Post & Recipe: How to: Make Turkey Gravy…Revisited

I figured it was worth publishing my recipe and troubleshooting tips again this year. This recipe does not involve adding wine or herbs, though those things can provide very satisfying results, too. Rather, this version is as basic as turkey gravy recipe can get.

Blog Post & Recipe: The Dynamic Duo: Butter and Soy Sauce

It's a one-two punch that works fantastically with so many ingredients: all manner of mushrooms, asparagus, broccoli, zucchini, shrimp, scallops, flounder fillets and more. First sauté the ingredient in butter, and when it's just cooked through, drizzle in soy sauce. Cook a little more and it's done.

Blog Post & Recipe: Meatless Monday: Sweet Potato Risotto

Most risottos take a fair amount of time and quite of bit of babysitting while you slowly add stock to the rice, gently coaxing it into creaminess. Not this one. Instead, you boil the rice for about 15 minutes, add it to the skillet with the sweet potatoes, onion and ginger, and use the wine and the mascarpone to instantly give you that signature, melt-in-your-mouth, creamy consistency that everyone expects from a risotto.

Concept: cook with butter and soy sauce.

Yorkshire Pudding / Leek and Herb Quiche / 3 Turkey Sandwiches

Blog Post & Recipe: Yorkshire Pudding

One of the tricks to get the Yorkshire pudding to rise well and to not fall is to bake it in a very hot oven and you can preheat the pan in addition to the oven to take it one step further ...

Ricotta Polenta with Fennel Pollen / Brined Turkey / Greek-Style Lamb

Recipe: Ricotta Polenta with Fennel Pollen

It seems simple but the ricotta adds a ton of flavor and texture to the polenta.

Recipe: Chronicle Classic: Best Way Brined Turkey

Several years ago, we roasted nearly 40 turkeys in our test kitchen and found a brined turkey to be the best. Every year since, we've retested the recipe. It's still our favorite.

Recipe: Simply delicious Greek-style lamb

This dish is delicious and incredibly, almost embarrassingly, simple - a great combination. We originally wrote it as a slow cooker recipe, but it also works very well (and not surprisingly, in a shorter time) on the stovetop.

Turkey Meatballs with Guava Sauce / Vanilla Beetroot Cake / Perfect Roast Beef

I served them with guava sauce on the side and absolutely loved the combination of the sweet guava sauce with the turkey.

Blog Post & Recipe: Emma’s Vanilla Beet Cake (Gluten-Free)

It is a wonderfully moist cake that I think would lend itself beautifully to a nice cream cheese frosting. You don’t taste the beets in it, if anything; the beets add an extra wonderful earthy sweetness.

Blog Post & Recipe: The Perfect Roast Beef

One of the best parts of the roast beef is the slightly caramelized outside and to get that we want to keep moisture away and prevent steaming the meat. Roasting at the higher temperature at first will help with the channelization and starting with a dry piece of meat is important.

Celeriac Gratin with Caramelised Onions / Salt Crusted Burgers with Mashy Peas / Turkey Stock For Gravy

Serve the gratin with a spoonful of caramelised onions and a crisp green salad lightly dressed with sherry vinegar and cold pressed rapeseed oil.

Blog Post & Recipe: could you feed yourself for $5 a day?

The secret is using the salt layer to cook the burgers. So as the juices drip out, the salt helps them congeal and form an instant crust which makes for a moist, full flavoured burger. I actually find that more fatty (and cheaper) beef makes for a more moist and tasty burger.

Blog Post & Recipe: Turkey Stock For Gravy: Start Soon

I don’t know where we got the idea that a roasting turkey results enough juices to make gravy. It doesn’t ... Donna picked up two full turkey wings and four turkey necks, about 4.5 pounds/2 kilos. I roasted them in a hot hot oven till they were good enough to eat (Donna and I made a meal of the meaty parts that night, with brown-butter-sage pasta). I also cut up two big onions ...

Article & Recipes: Use citrus to lighten Thanksgiving meal, not its impact

Whether it comes from orange, lemon or lime, the acid in citrus fruits balances fat, the way vinegar balances oil in a dressing. It invites salt and awakens the palate. Citrus zest offers bite with its intensely fragrant oils. Used together -- as in the lemon-lime sweet potatoes here -- the juice and zest create levels of sweet-sour-bitter

Recipe: Roasted Chickpeas

Roasting cooked chickpeas in a little oil — first briefly on the stove and later in the oven — leaves their insides tender while adding crunch to their exterior; they make both a great side dish and a perfect snack. After you take them out of the oven, try dusting with a little chile powder, curry powder, or other spice mixture, or drizzle with a little extra-virgin olive oil, some lemon juice, and a lot of black pepper.

In order to make summer rolls, though, you must have at least two essential ingredients: rice wrappers, and mung bean starch noodles ... You basically make like a burrito.

Blog Post & Recipe: Buckwheat filled mushrooms

I love the crunchy buckwheat and I rather under-cook it just a little than let it go all mushy and porridge-like. Pared with rosemary (a little garlic and lemon zest too , if you wish) and tiny bit of cheese they are such a simple thing to enjoy.

Blog Post & Recipe: Roasted Eggplant and Red Pepper Dip

You slice up the veggies... Give them a good coating of high quality extra virgin olive oil... Toss the vegetables together with salt, pepper, and lots of garlic... Roast the veggies at 400 degrees for 45 minutes... And then puree the roasted vegetables with tomato paste... and then you are done!

Blog Post & Recipe: Green Peppers in Vinegar and Garlic Sauce (Sirkeli Biber)

Inspired by the exuberance of fresh peppers I am giving a simple recipe for a very popular and delicious salad/appetizer/meze, you name it. The ingredients for the sauce are garlic, olive oil, and vinegar, and how much you will add of each depends completely on your preference. If you cannot handle garlic or vinegar well, you can go light on them. I like this salad medium garlicy, yet very vinegary, whereas my cousin's version is quite garlicy and to so much vinegary. The point is you have to decide on the amount of garlic and vinegar.

Blog Post & Recipe: Scandinavian meatballs

These were fabulous – very moist and tasty. Making the meatballs was slightly labor-intensive, as these were quite sticky during formation. But worth the effort.

Blog Post & Recipe: Chipotle Butternut Squash

I was thinking that the sweet butternut squash would go well tossed with some spicy and smoky chipotles in adobo sauce. I had also recently been remembering a dish where cubed potatoes are fried along with onions until the potatoes are crispy and the onions are caramelized and I figured that that would also work well for this dish ...

Note: This recipe would also work well with sweet potatoes.

But cook it like a jam and the fruit is transformed into a delicious paste/jelly that is simply sensational with good cheese, cold meats or a baste for a leg of lamb or even a fruity addition to a stock or gravy.

Quince Cheese (Membrillo)

Blog Post & Recipe: Turkey tamales with guajillo-cranberry mole

Turkey tamales are usually made with one of two salsas, either a tangy tomatillo or a rich mole ... I find that smoked turkey goes especially well with a zesty salsa verde, but nothing beats roasted turkey paired with the earthy bittersweet flavor of mole—it’s a classic combination.
