* Exported from MasterCook * Pistachio Coins Recipe By : Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Volume 2, Nov. '98 Cookies Desserts Nuts Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- For dough : Parchment paper for lining baking sheets 1 large egg 1/4 teaspoon almond extract 1/4 teaspoon pure lemon extract 2 cups all-purpose flour 1/3 cup shelled natural pistachios (about 1 1/2 ounces) 3/4 cup sugar 1/8 teaspoon salt 2 sticks unsalted butter -- (1 cup) softened For topping: 3 tablespoons unsalted butter 2 ounces fine-quality white chocolate such as Lindt 6 tablespoons shelled natural pistachios (about 2 ounces) 1/4 cup dried cranberries Preheat oven to 350°F and line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper. Make dough: In a small bowl whisk together egg and extracts. In a food processor pulse together flour, pistachios, sugar, and salt until combined well (do not finely grind nuts). Add butter in pieces and pulse just until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add egg mixture with motor running and pulse just until dough forms a ball. Turn dough out onto a work surface and with heel of hand press dough together just until smooth and cohesive. Form level teaspoons of dough into balls and arrange about 1 inch apart on baking sheets. With your thumb gently make an indentation in center of each ball, pressing down almost to bottom. Bake cookies in batches in lower third of oven until bottoms are pale golden, about 12 minutes. Cool cookies on baking sheets on racks 5 minutes and transfer with a spatula to racks to cool completely. Make topping: In a small heavy saucepan melt butter and chocolate over low heat, stirring until smooth, and remove pan from heat. Coarsely chop (keeping separate) pistachios and cranberries. Working with 10 cookies at a time, spoon 1/4 teaspoon chocolate mixture into each indentation and sprinkle pistachios and cranberries over chocolate centers. Let chocolate centers set 30 minutes. Cookies keep, layered between sheets of wax paper in an airtight container at cool room temperature, 10 days. Makes about 80 cookies.

* Exported from MasterCook * Polenta Lasagne (Al Forno Restaurant) Recipe By : Chef-Owners Johanne Killeen & Geroge Germon, Al Forno Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Polenta Volume 2, Nov. '98 Cheese Tomatoes Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 4 tablespoons olive oil 3 teaspoons kosher salt 2 cups coarse cornmeal 3 cups canned tomatoes in heavy puree -- chopped 6 tablespoons Gorgonzola -- crumbled 12 tablespoons bechamel sauce 1/2 cup Pecorino Romano -- freshly grated 1/2 cup fontina cheese -- shredded Bring 8 1/2 quarts of water to a boil in a large, heavy pot. Add olive oil and salt. Slowly add the cornmeal in a steady stream, stirring constantly. After all the cornmeal has been added, cook, stirring, over low heat until the polenta pulls away from the side of the pot as you stir, about 20 minutes. The polenta should be thick, smooth, and creamy. Pour the polenta into a 9 inch square pan, smoothing the top with a rubber spatula. The polenta will stiffen as it cools. After 2 hours, you will be able to cut the polenta into 12 squares, or refrigerate ( up to 24 hours) until ready to use. Preheat the oven to 375 F. Cut each square of polenta in half horizontally. Pour 6 cups of chopped tomato into a 9x12 inch baking pan. Cover with 12 polenta halves. Top with the Gorgonzola, half of the bechamel, and the remaining polenta halves. Sprinkle with the Pecorino Romano and fontina cheeses, drizzle on the remaining bechamel, and pour on the remaining cup of tomatoes. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes. Serves 6 as a first course.

* Exported from MasterCook * Prawn Cocktail 2000 - Smith Recipe By : Delia Smith, Appetizers: Great Food (bbc) Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Appetizers Sauces Seafood Shrimp Volume 2, Nov. '98 Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 2 pounds jumbo bay shrimp -- in shells 1 head romaine lettuce -- or similar 1/2 bunch arugula leaves -- or rocket 1 avocado; ripe and firm cayenne pepper -- to taste 1 lime -- cut into six wedges **FOR THE SAUCE** 1 3/4 cups mayonnaise -- preferably homemade 1/2 cup worcestershire sauce 3 drops tabasco sauce -- or to taste 1/2 tablespoon fresh lime juice 2 tablespoons ketchup -- preferably organic ketchup without sugar salt and black pepper -- to taste The very best version or this is made with prawns (either fresh or frozen in their shells) that you have cooked yourself. Failing that, buy large cooked prawns in their shells, or if you can only get shelled prawns cut the amount to 1 pound (450 g). If frozen, put the prawns in a colander and allow to defrost thoroughly at room temperature for about 1 hour. After that, heat a large solid skillet or wok and dry-fry the prawns for 4-5 minutes until the gray turns a vibrant pink. As soon as they are cool, reserve 6 in their shells for a garnish and shell the remainder. Then take a small sharp knife; make a cut along the back of each shelled prawn and remove any black thread. Place the prawns in a bowl. cover with plastic wrap and keep in the refrigerator until needed. To make the Cocktail Sauce, prepare homemade mayonnaise. Add the rest of the ingredients, stir and taste to check for seasoning (salt and pepper). Keep the Sauce covered with plastic wrap in the refrigerator until needed. When you are ready to serve, shred the lettuce and arugula fairly finely and divide them among 6 stemmed glasses. Peel and chop the avocado into small dice and scatter this in each glass among the lettuce. Top with the prawns and the Sauce. Sprinkle each with a dusting of the cayenne pepper and garnish with 1 section of the lime and 1 of the unpeeled prawns per glass. Serve with brown bread and butter. ABOUT THE RECIPE: This recipe is part of my 'sixties' revival menu. In those days it used to be something simple but really luscious, yet over the years it has suffered from some very poor adaptations, not least watery prawns and inferior sauces. So here, in all its former glory, is a starter quite definitely fit for the new millennium! -- Delia Smith in GREAT FOOD, 1998 (BBC).
