2 pk Yeast

2 c -Tepid water

1/2 c Salad oil

4 tb Olive oil

3 c Flour

1/2 c Cornmeal; I think this is

-the secret 2 ts -salt; Frugal Gourmet does

-not have salt in dough 2 1/2 c Flour

-Sauce 2 cn Plum tomatoes 28 ounce;

-drained; crushed; drained 1 Mozzarella; to taste

1 pn -salt; ground pepper

1 -garlic; chopped; to taste

1 Basil; fresh; chopped

1 Oregano; fresh; chopped

1 Meat; choice

1 Onion; etc; choice

1 Parmesan; to taste

1 Romano cheese; to taste

Mix two packets of yeast in 2 cups of tepid water and let sit
for ten minutes.
Add 1/2 cup salad oil.
Add Olive oil, 3 cups
flour; cornmeal and salt.
Knead for about ten minutes.
Add 2-1/2
cups of additional flour.
Knead this for 15 minutes.
Let dough rise
to twice its size.
Use blackened deep dish pizza pans.
I’m not sure
how you get ‘em blackened – I cured mine with olive oil and then I
just wipe them out when I’m done.
They are kind of getting
blackened looking with use.
I have two pans and make two pizzas at
a time.
I spread the pan with olive oil and sprinkle with cornmeal.
Divide the dough in half.
Spread and cover the bottom of the pan.
Spread it up the sides.
I then let it rise again in the pan.
Cover
pizza dough with sliced mozzarella.
Drain and squash a 28 ounce can
of plum tomatoes for each pizza.
Drain off the excess fluid after
squashing, and spread this over the cheese.
Smidge of salt and
ground pepper over the top.
Chopped garlic, fresh chopped basil and
oregano.
Add the filling of your choice (I use sliced onion and
Italian Sausage).
Top with a Parmesan/Romano Cheese mix.
Bake in
preheated oven at 475 degrees for 35-40 minutes.

3 1/2 c Sauerkraut, packaged*

1 1/2 T Tomato paste

2 ts Sugar

1/3 c Chicken broth

*Rinse kraut and squeeze thoroughly dry.
Dumplings: In a food
processor, blend the flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
With the motor
running, add the egg yolks and the oil through the feed tube, then
pour in the water, in a slow, steady stream, until the dough forms
a ball around the blade.
Transfer the dough to a floured surface
and knead until smooth, about two minutes.
Cover with a linen or
cotton (not terry) kitchen towel and let stand half an hour.
Divide
the dough in half and shape into two balls.
Keep one ball covered
with the towel.
On a floured surface with a floured rolling pin,
roll out the dough to a very thin sheet, about 1/16″ thick, making
sure it doesn’t tear.
With a round cookie cutter, cut out circles
about 3″ in diameter.
Gather the scraps together into a ball and
set aside, covered.
Have a bowl with the egg white by you.
Place a
heaping teaspoon of the desired filling in the middle of each
circle.
Fold the dough over the filling to form a semi-circle.
Brush the edges with the egg white and press the edges firmly
together with the tines of a fork to seal.
Place the vareniki as
they are made on a lightly floured large baking sheet about 1″
apart and keep covered with a damp tea towel.
When finished with
the first batch, roll out the second ball of dough and make a
second batch.
Add the leftover scraps of dough to the scraps left
from the first batch, knead into a ball, and roll out for a final
batch of varenyky.
Meanwhile, in a large pot, bring 6 quarts of
salted water to a boil.
Reduce the heat to medium so the water
simmers and carefully lower half the varenyky into the water.

stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon to prevent sticking,
until they rise to the surface and are cooked through, six to seven
minutes.
With a slotted spoon, carefully remove the varenyky to a
colander and drain thoroughly.
Transfer to a deep serving bowl and
toss with half the butter.
Repeat for the second half of the
varenyky.

Season
with salt and pepper and use for filling the varenyky.

it renders its fat.
Remove the bacon and reserve.
Drain off all but
two tablespoons fat.
Add the onion to the skillet and saut#,
stirring frequentlly over medium heat until nicely browned, almost
15 minutes.

3 ea Thyme, sprigs

2 ea Bay leaf

2 ea Cloves

3/4 ts Salt, coarse

8 ea Peppercorns

– –

** If you have previously prepared Veal Stock – the simplest
thing to do is to take a 1/2 cup of the veal stock and boil it
until it reduces to about 2 tablespoons and takes on the
consistency of thick syrup.
If you don’t have Veal Stock handy,
then you follow this recipe to make the stock first.
Preheat oven
to 450 F.
Put the oil in a roasting pan and heat briefly in the
oven.
Add the bones to the oil in the pan, toss to coat and roast
for 35 minutes.
Add the onions, carrots, celery, leek, garlic and
parsley, tossing them all to coat with fat.
Roast 30 minutes
longer.
Remove the pan from the oven and transfer the bones and
vegetables to a clean stockpot.
Drain off as much of the fat as
possible.
Place the roasting pan over medium-high heat (use 2
burners if neces-) (sary), and add 2 cups of cold

water and boil briefly.
Scrape up all of the browned bits into
the water.
Transfer the liquid to the stock pot and add enough cold
water to cover.
Bring slowly to a boil, skimming off all of the
froth that forms.
Lower the heat and add tomatoes, thyme, bay
leaves, cloves and salt.
Simmer uncovered for 6 to 8 hours adding
water as necessary just to cover the ingredients.
Skim whenever
necessary.
Add peppercorns for the last 15 minutes of the
simmering.
Strain the “soup” into a large bowl through a colander
lined with a double layer of dampened cheesecloth.
Gently press the
solids to extract all of the liquid, and discard the solids.
Pour
the stock into containers for storage and label and date them.
The
stock will “keep” for up to 3 days in a refrigerator, and up to 6
months in a freezer.
This stock is now used to make the Glaze as
noted in the beginning of these directions.

Veal Marsala with Provolone 0

Posted on October 24, 2007 by admin

2 lb Veal cutlets

Flour Salt & pepper 2 tb Butter

2 tb Olive oil

4 Mushrooms, fresh, sliced

1/2 c Marsala wine

4 tb Butter, cold

Provolone cheese, sliced Pound veal cutlets between sheets of
waxed paper til about 1/4″ thick.
Combine flour and salt &
papper to taste.
Dredge cutlets in the flour mixture.
Combine 2
Tbsp butter with the 2 Tbsp olive oil in a large frying pan over
medium high heat.
Cook cutlets until lightly browned- about 2-3
minutes per side.
Remove cutlets to a platter or pan suitable for
use under a broiler.
Place sliced mushrooms in the frying pan and
cook until tender, adding a little butter if needed.
Add Marsala
and reduce sauce to about half of the original volume.
Pre-heat
broiler.
Lower heat under the frying pan to VERY low, or place pan
in a larger pan of hot water.
Whisk in cold butter, 1 Tbsp at a
time, adding each just before the last is completely incorporated.
Remove sauce from heat immediately when done.
Place a slice of
provolone on each cutlet and broil until cheese bubbles and just
starts to brown.
Serve sauce alongside the cutlets, or spoon over
as they are served.
(This type of sauce will separate if it becomes
too hot at any point- mine always does :) ).
Other ideas: Use
chicken in place of veal.
Place a slice of prosciutto on the
chicken or veal, then the slice of cheese before broiling.
