" 18747,"Homemade Chorizo 2 ounces hog sausage casing (about 14 feet) 2 chipotles in adobo sauce 5 cloves garlic 1/4 cup red wine vinegar 1/4 cup tequila 5 pounds well-marbled boneless pork butt 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin 4 tablespoons kosher salt 4 tablespoons ancho chili powder 3 to 5 teaspoons pequen chili powder or cayenne pepper 2 tablespoons granulated onion 2 tablespoons paprika 1 teaspoon dried oregano 1/2 teaspoon white pepper Vegetable oil, for the grill Instructions: Prepare the casing. Soak the casing in cold water for 30 minutes to soften, then run water through it to remove excess salt and check for leaks. (You can buy casings from most butchers.) Blend the chiles. Remove the seeds from the chipotles, and finely chop in a food processor with the garlic, vinegar and tequila. Chop the pork. Cut any silver skin off the pork butt, then cut it into 3-inch chunks. Grind the meat. Grind the pork in a meat grinder (or mixer with a grinder attachment) with a 316-inch die. Use the feed tube to push the meat through gently. Season the meat. First, \de-bling\ (take off your rings!); you'll be mixing with your hands. Combine the dry spices-cumin, salt, chili powders, onion, paprika, oregano and white pepper-in a small bowl. Then season the pork in layers: Place half the ground meat in a large bowl, cover with half the spice mixture and half the garlic-vinegar mixture, then add the rest of the meat, spices and garlic mixture. Combine everything with your hands; it's the best way to make sure all the meat gets seasoned. Thread the casing. Remove the die from the grinder and attach the sausage-stuffing tube, then slide the whole casing onto the tube, leaving enough at the end to tie into a tight knot. Stuff the casing. With the mixer on low, gently feed the sausage mixture into the tube, using one hand to guide the casing out at the right speed; be careful not to overstuff or tear the casing. Form the links. Turn off the mixer after you get about 3 to 4 feet of sausage and cut and tie off the casing. Retie the casing on the stuffing tube and continue making the remaining sausage. Pinch and then twist the long pieces of sausage about every 8 inches to form links. Place the linked sausages on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate overnight to dry. Grill the sausage. Preheat one side of a grill to medium-high and the other to low. Lightly brush the grill with oil, then grill the sausages until they're browned on all sides, 6 to 8 minutes. Move to low heat and continue grilling until they're cooked through, 5 to 7 more minutes.

Normally made with a yeast-risen dough, the buns in this recipe are made using a slightly faster method. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F/ 230 degrees C /Gas mark 8, and butter and flour the cake tin.
For the filling: Cream the butter and cinnamon together in a large bowl or in an electric food mixer until soft. Add the brown sugar and beat until the mixture is light and fluffy and then stir in the chopped toasted pecans. Set aside (not in the refrigerator).
For the dough: Sift the flour, baking powder and cinnamon together into a large bowl.
Add the caster sugar, then add the butter and, using your fingertips, rub it in until the mixture resembles bread crumbs. Whisk the beaten egg and milk together in a separate bowl, then make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and pour in most of the liquid (all but 2 fluid ounces/60 ml). Using one hand with your fingers outstretched like a claw, move your hand around in one direction (clockwise or counter-clockwise) until the dough comes together. Cook's Note: You may need to add the rest of the milk as the dough should be soft and a little sticky.
To make the buns: Tip the dough out onto a floured work surface and dust with flour. Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough until it is a 14 by 10- inches/35 by 25 cm rectangle and about 3/4-inch/2 cm thick.
Spread the filling all over the rectangle, then with the widest end facing you, roll up the dough away from you so that it resembles a Swiss roll. Cut the 'log' 11 times to make 12 slices, each 1 1/4-inches/3 cm thick. Place the pieces cut-side facing up, with a tiny bit of space between each 'swirl', in the prepared cake tin.
Bake in the oven 10 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 400 degrees F/200 degrees C/Gas mark 6 and cook for a further 25 to 35 minutes or until risen, golden brown and cooked in the centre. They should have joined together to make a lovely cluster of buns.
Allow the buns to stand in the tin for 2 to 3 minutes before carefully turning out and cooling on a wire rack. When cool, transfer to a serving plate or cake stand.
For the icing: Sift the icing sugar (confectioners') into a bowl, add 1 tablespoon boiling water and mix well, adding another 1/2 to 1 tablespoon boiling water, if necessary, until the icing is soft, but not too runny. Drizzle the icing over the buns.
To serve: Break each bun off with your hand or cut into slices.

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups plus 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 1/4 cups whole milk
1 1/2 cups cornstarch
1 tablespoon Hungarian paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 cup buttermilk
1 large egg, beaten
1 tablespoon hot sauce, such as Frank's RedHot
4 1/2 cups vegetable oil Instructions: Liberally sprinkle the steaks with salt and pepper (see Cook's Note). Put them on a rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet and let sit at room temperature while you make the gravy. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in 3 tablespoons of the flour until combined and cook until golden and bubbling, about 1 minute. Whisk in the whole milk, 1 1/4 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and cook, whisking frequently, until the gravy boils. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, whisking occasionally, until the gravy thickens, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and keep warm; it will seem loose but will thicken as it sits. Whisk the remaining 1 1/2 cups flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in a large bowl. Whisk the buttermilk, egg and hot sauce in a medium bowl. Working with 1 steak at a time, dredge in the seasoned flour, turning to coat and packing into the crevices. Shake to remove any excess and return to the rack. Repeat with the remaining steaks. Pour 3 tablespoons of the buttermilk mixture into the seasoned flour and work it in with your fingers; it should feel like wet sand with some clumps. (These clumps will give the steak a crispy, shaggy crust.) Dip the dredged steaks into the remaining buttermilk mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Pack the moistened flour firmly onto each steak. Very gently shake off any excess and return to the rack. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes. Pour the oil into a large cast-iron skillet fitted with a deep-fry thermometer (the oil should come about halfway up the sides). Heat the oil over high heat until the thermometer registers 350 degrees F. Fry the steaks in 2 batches until golden brown, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Transfer to paper towels to drain.

If an elevated mesh apparatus or shelf is unavailable, the bacon can be elevated with crumpled aluminum foil, allowing the same dripping effect. If foil is unavailable, place the bacon strips around the edge of the shells so that they are allowed to cook separately from the oysters while still producing drippings. Cook the oysters for 8 to 20 minutes. For best results, make sure that at least some bacon fat has found its way into the oyster cavity.

Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves. Cover, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the apples are very tender, stirring frequently, about 12 minutes. Remove from the heat. Gently mash the apples until the mixture is very soft, but still chunky. Cool completely. Position 1 rack in the top third of the oven and 1 rack in the bottom third. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. For the pastry: Stack the pastry sheets together, and then roll them out on a lightly floured surface to a 15-inch square. Cut the pastry into 9 (5-inch) squares. Put 1 generous tablespoon apple filling in the middle of each square. Lightly brush the edges of each square with the beaten egg. Fold half of the pastry square over the filling, forming triangles. Press and pinch the pastry edges with fingertips or a fork to seal tightly. Chill the turnovers slightly to firm the dough, about 15 minutes. Remove the turnovers from the refrigerator. Make small slits or holes on top of each triangle with a sharp knife or a fork so the steam can escape. Lightly brush the pastry triangles with beaten egg and sprinkle lightly with sugar. Transfer to the baking sheets. Bake the turnovers until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Cool at least 15 minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a generous drizzle or pour of Caramel Sauce. Combine the sugar and 1/3 cup water in a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan. This is the only time you can stir the sugar. If you stir it while it's cooking, it turns to rock candy. Place the saucepan over medium to low heat until the sugars start to dissolve, 5 to 10 minutes. Then turn the heat up to medium-high and cook until the sugar starts to caramelize, 5 to 7 minutes. Do not stir while this is happening. You've got to watch the pot, because it goes from caramel to burnt really quickly. And be careful, the mixture is extremely hot! Turn off the heat and stand back to avoid splattering. Slowly add the cream. Don't panic - the cream will bubble violently, and the caramel will solidify. Just give it more time to liquefy again-trust me! Simmer over low heat, stirring constantly, until the caramel dissolves and the sauce is smooth, about 2 minutes. Allow the sauce to cool to room temperature, at least 4 hours. It will thicken as it sits. ","[Chardonnay, Riesling, Pinot Grigio, Sparkling wine]

Return the seared lamb to the pan and add the diced onions. Cook, stirring to get the browned bits off the bottom of the pan, for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the chicken broth, saffron, and cilantro bundle and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, covered, for 1 1/2 hours, or until the meat is tender. Pour 1 cup of boiling water over the apricots and raisins and let sit for 20 minutes. Strain and set the fruit aside. Using a slotted spoon, remove the meat, place it on a clean plate, and keep warm. Bring the remaining liquid in the pan to a simmer. Add the sliced onions, apricots, raisins, honey, cinnamon, ground pepper, and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Return the liquid to a simmer and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, or until mixture is slightly thickened. Add the cooked lamb back into the sauce and cook to heat through, about 2 minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro sprigs. Serve with Moroccan Vegetable Couscous and Moroccan Yogurt with Preserved Lemon Dip. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Toss the red pepper halves and onion quarters with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a medium bowl. Arrange pepper and onion, cut sides down, on a small baking sheet, drizzling any remaining olive oil onto the baking sheet as well. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the skin is browned and bubbly. Peel, seed, and dice the red bell pepper and dice the onion. Set aside. Rinse the couscous in a fine-meshed strainer under cold running water until completely soaked. Drain and place in a medium bowl. Allow couscous to stand and swell for 5 minutes. Arrange a vegetable steamer or other steamer insert with small holes in a large stockpot with water, making sure the water doesn't touch the bottom of the steamer. Bring the water to a boil and add the couscous to the vegetable steamer. Cover tightly and steam for 30 to 40 minutes, or until tender and fluffy. Remove from the steamer, drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and fluff with a fork. Cover to keep warm and set aside. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the carrots and cauliflower, and cook until lightly brown and softened, about 7 minutes. Add the garlic, zucchini, tomatoes and juices, garbanzo beans, chopped red onion and bell pepper, cumin, turmeric, cinnamon and salt and pepper. Bring mixture to a boil, cover, and reduce heat to medium. Cook until vegetables are tender, about 7 to 10 minutes. Adjust the seasonings with the salt and pepper. Remove from the heat, stir in the parsley, and cover to keep warm. In a small skillet heat the butter over medium heat. When foamy, add the almonds and cook until toasted, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside. Arrange the couscous on a large serving platter and top with the vegetable mixture, tossing gently. Sprinkle toasted almonds over the top and serve immediately. Put the yogurt in a cheesecloth lined strainer over a bowl. Cover and refrigerate overnight to drain. Put the drained yogurt in a medium bowl and stir in the cucumber, mint, and lemon. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. ","[Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling]" 18979,"Meaty Grilled Pizza 2 sausage links 6 slices Canadian bacon
1 small yellow onion, cut into rings
1 portobello mushroom cap All-purpose flour, for dusting 8 ounces pizza dough, rested at room temperature for 4 hours
2 tablespoons cornmeal, for dusting 1/2 cup pizza sauce
12 to 14 slices pepperoni
8 ounces smoked mozzarella, shredded
Olive oil, for drizzling
Fresh basil, for garnish
Instructions: Preheat a grill to medium heat. Grill the sausage, turning, until cooked through. Cut into slices. (Alternatively, remove the sausage from its casings, cook on a griddle on the grill and crumble.) Meanwhile, put the Canadian bacon, onion slices and mushroom cap on the grill. Grill for 2 to 3 minutes, then flip and grill until the onion and mushroom are slightly charred and tender, another 2 to 3 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes, then roughly chop. To set up the pizza stone on the grill, stack 2 bricks on top of each other on one side of the grill and 2 more bricks on top of each other on the other side of the grill, about 12 inches apart to create a platform for the pizza stone. Put the pizza stone on top of the bricks to elevate it over the grates. The stone should be 5 to 6 inches above the grates. Raise the heat to medium high, cover and preheat for 30 minutes to allow the pizza stone to get nice and hot. On a floured work surface, press the pizza dough into a round 12 to 14 inches in diameter and about 1/4 inch thick. Dust a pizza peel or the back of a baking sheet with the cornmeal. Transfer the dough to the pizza peel or baking sheet. Top the dough with the sauce and spread it out with a spoon into a thin layer. Top with the pepperoni, sausage, Canadian bacon, onions, mushroom and mozzarella. Carefully slide the pizza onto the pizza stone. Cover the grill and cook until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted, 12 to 14 minutes. Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil and the basil. Slice and serve hot.

" 18980,"Duck with Pear Sauce and Wilted Greens 1 (8-pound) whole duck Vegetable oil 1 1/2 cups dry white wine (about half a bottle) Salt and freshly ground black pepper 1 1/4 cups chicken stock
Pear sauce, recipe follows 1 tablespoon pear brandy 1 tablespoon butter Butternut squash Barley Risotto, recipe follows Wilted greens, recipe follows 4 ounces whole, blanched, peeled hazelnuts, toasted 6 pears 1 small butternut squash Vegetable oil, to oil baking sheet 1 cup barley 1 1/2 cups water Salt and freshly ground black pepper 2 tablespoons butter 2 bunches cleaned, dried Swiss chard Canola oil, for wilting greens Instructions: Remove the breast and the legs from the duck (you can ask your butcher to do this for you). Remove the skin from the legs and reserve with the neck, heart, and gizzard. Heat an 8-inch saute pan over high heat. Add enough oil to lightly coat the bottom of the pan. Add the duck legs and sear until well browned on all sides, but not cooked through, about 8 to 10 minutes. Lower the heat to medium-low, pour off any excess fat and add the white wine. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Cover with a tight lid and cook slowly over low heat for 1 1/2 hours or until the meat falls off the bones. Remove the legs from the liquid and remove all the meat from the bones and set aside. Pour the braising liquid into a shallow container and remove the fat - if you refrigerate the braising liquid overnight the fat will solidify and be easy to remove. There should be at least 1 cup of braising liquid left after the removal of the fat, if not, add chicken stock to make up 1 cup. Add the braised meat back to the braising liquid and cook over low heat, just until the meat is heated through. Set aside and keep warm. Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add the duck breasts, skin side down, lower the heat to medium-low, and cook without turning for 20 minutes, lowering the heat if the skin gets too dark and removing excess fat from the pan as it renders from the duck. During the last few minutes of cooking, season the flesh side with salt. Turn the breasts over and cook for 3 minutes. The duck breast should be medium rare to medium to be perfect. Remove the duck breast from the pan and let rest on a plate, reserving any juices that accumulate. Slice each breast into 4 to 6 slices. Remove the stewed duck meat from the braising liquid. Add the Pear Sauce to the braising liquid and strain through a fine strainer. Add any juices from the duck breast, the pear brandy and the butter and whisk well. Place a scoop of Barley Risotto slightly off center. Place some of the braised meat in front and the Wilted Greens on either side of the risotto. Place slices of the duck atop the braised meat. Drizzle the meat with the sauce. Sprinkle with toasted hazelnuts and place the dried pear slices into the risotto. Using a juicer, juice 2 pears to get 1/2 cup of juice. The pears can also be grated into a bowl lined with a clean kitchen towel. Once the pulp is in the towel, close the towel and squeeze all the juice out into the bowl. Thinly slice the remaining 4 pears lengthwise. Place in a food dehydrator and dry until crisp according to manufacturer's recommendations. Save the best looking dry pear slices to garnish the plate. Using a spice grinder grind the dried pears to a powder. Add 1/2 cup of the pear powder to the 1/2 cup of juice and let sit. The juice will thicken quickly and be about the consistency of peanut butter. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Halve the butternut squash lengthwise and scoop out the seeds and discard. Lightly oil a sheet pan, place the squash flesh side down, and roast until soft, about 45 minutes. Set aside to cool, then scoop out of the skin and puree until smooth using a food mill or food processor. Refrigerate. Soak the barley in the water, cover, and refrigerate overnight. Pour the barley and the soaking water into a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Simmer until softened, about 10 to 15 minutes. Add the butternut squash puree and season with salt and black pepper and keep warm until needed. Add butter right before serving. Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add enough canola oil to lightly coat the bottom of the pan. Add the greens and cook, tossing often, just until greens are wilted and stalks are crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Set aside and keep hot.

Beat together the vanilla and 2 eggs in a small bowl. Beat the butter, granulated sugar and confectioners' sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer on low speed. Once they are incorporated, increase the speed to medium and, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed, beat until slightly creamy, about 3 minutes. Reduce the speed to low, slowly pour in the egg mixture and beat until combined. Add the flour mixture in 3 additions, increasing the speed as the dough gets thicker to keep the beaters spinning and scraping down the sides of the bowl and the beaters as needed. Once all the flour is just incorporated, increase the speed to medium-high and beat until the dough is very smooth, about 5 minutes. Turn the dough out of the bowl and bring it together on a clean surface. Divide into 2 pieces. Shape each piece into a flat square and wrap in plastic. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours or up to overnight. To cut and bake the forest: Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 3 baking sheets with parchment. Dust your work surface with flour and roll out a piece of dough until about 1/4-inch thick. Keep the other piece refrigerated while you work. Punch out shapes in the dough with tree cookie cutters of various sizes and cut off the dough trunks; for every 3D tree you will need 2 tree cutouts of the same size so punch out the shapes in pairs. For our forest we used 4-inch, 6-inch and 8-inch cutters. Put the trees on the prepared baking sheets and chill while you roll and cut trees from the remaining dough. Combine the scraps of the 2 squares. Chill again, reroll and cut out more trees You should have 8 to 10 pairs of trees, depending on the size of your cutters. Freeze the cutout cookies for at least 30 minutes. Rearrange the cookies on the baking sheets so that the pairs are next to each other. For the first cookie of each pair, use a sharp paring knife to cut a 1/2-inch-wide slot from the bottom to a little more than halfway up the cookie. For the second cookie of each pair, cut a similar slot but from the top of the tree down to a little past the middle. You will fit the cookies together with these slots after they are baked. Return the cookies to the freezer for 30 minutes more. Whisk together the remaining egg with 2 tablespoons water in a small bowl. Brush a thin layer of egg wash on the cookies right before baking. Bake the cookies, rotating the baking sheets front to back and bottom to top about halfway through, until golden brown and dry on top, 15 to 18 minutes. Let cool completely on the baking sheets set on a cooling rack, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, make the royal icing: Combine the confectioners' sugar, meringue powder and vanilla in a large bowl. Add 5 tablespoons water and beat with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until the icing forms thick and glossy peaks, about 2 minutes, adding up to 1 tablespoon more water, if needed. Remove a third of the royal icing and place it in a pastry bag fitted with a small no. 4 round tip. Color the remaining icing with the green food coloring, one drop at a time, until it's a shade you like. If the frosting is still very stiff, add 1 to 2 teaspoons of water. Fill a second pastry bag fitted with another small no. 4 round tip with the green frosting. Use a sharp paring knife to shave the cookie edges so they are smooth and flat: Pay attention to the tree bottoms (so the trees will stand straight) and the inner edges of the slots. Assemble the trees by sliding the top-slot trees into the bottom-slot trees. Shave the cookies as needed for a smooth fit, then disassemble them and place the pieces on a flat surface. Don't worry if a tree breaks; glue the pieces together with green royal icing. To decorate the forest: Decorate each cookie with the green icing, leaving a blank strip up the center without icing; this is where the pieces will fit together. We used a zigzag line of green on each side. Sprinkle with white sprinkles while the icing is still wet. Let set until firm, 30 to 45 minutes.

Once the grill is hot (you can hold your hands an inch over the grates for no more than 2 seconds), stretch and shape the dough into a 12-inch round on a flat surface. Brush the top with oil and toss on the grill, oil-side down. Cook until the bottom is golden brown, 1 minute. Check the bottom of the dough to see if it is getting browned. If it is on one part, but not the other, use a spatula or tongs to rotate the dough 90 degrees and cook for another minute. If it is still not beginning to brown, cover the grill and continue to cook a minute at a time until the bottom has browned evenly. (It should only take a couple minutes if you have a hot grill.) The top of the pizza dough will also start bubbling up with air pockets. Once the pizza dough has browned on the bottom, flip over and grill until golden brown and the dough is just firm, another minute or so. Remove to a sheet pan.

Stir often as the caramel slowly melts. When the mixture is smooth, add 3/4 cup of powdered sugar and stir. Save the remaining 1/2 cup of powdered sugar for later. Use a candy thermometer to bring the mixture to exactly 230 degrees, stirring often, then turn off the heat. When the temperature of the candy begins to drop, add the remaining 1/2 cup of powdered sugar to the pan, then use a hand mixer on high speed to combine. Keep mixing until the candy cools and thickens and can no longer be mixed. That should take 1 to 2 minutes. Let the candy cool in the pan for 10 to 15 minutes, or until it can be touched. Don't let it sit too long-- you want the candy to still be warm and pliable when you shape it. Take one eighth of the mixture and roll it between your palms or on a countertop until it forms a roll with the width of your index finger, and measuring about 4 1/2-inches long. Repeat with the remaining center candy mixture and place the rolls on waxed paper. You should have 8 rolls. Let the center rolls sit out for 1 to 2 hours to firm up. Combine the 20 caramels with the 1 1/2 teaspoons of water in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir often until the caramels melt completely, then turn off the heat. If you work fast this caramel will stay warm while you make the candy bars. Pour the peanuts onto a baking sheet or other flat surface. Using a basting brush and working quickly, \paint: a coating of caramel onto one side of a center roll. Quickly turn the center over, caramel side down, onto the peanuts and press gently so that the peanuts stick to the surface of the candy. Paint more caramel onto the other side of the roll and press it down onto the peanuts. The candy should have a solid layer of peanuts covering all sides. If needed, brush additional caramel onto the roll, then turn it onto the peanuts to coat the roll completely. Place the candy bar onto waxed paper, and repeat with the remaining ingredients. Place the bars into your refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours so that they firm up. Pour the milk chocolate chips into a glass or ceramic bowl and zap it in the microwave for 2 minutes on 50 percent power. Gently stir the chips, then heat for an additional 30 seconds at 50 percent power. Repeat if necessary, stirring gently after each 30 seconds. Don't over-cook the chips or the chocolate will burn and seize up on you. Drop a candy bar center into the melted milk chocolate. Cover the candy bar with chocolate using 2 forks, 1 in each hand. When the candy is covered with chocolate, balance the bar on both of the forks, one at each end of the candy bar, and tap the forks on the top edge of the bowl so that much of the chocolate drops off. Carefully place the candy bar onto waxed paper and remove the 2 forks. Repeat with the remaining ingredients, and then chill the candy bars until firm.

Blend for 30 seconds until the mixture is sandy but holds together when pressed between your fingers. Turn out the dough onto a floured work surface. It will be crumbly, but once you start kneading, it will all come together. Gather the dough and begin to knead with the heel of your hand until it\u2019s supple and shiny, 1 to 2 minutes. If the dough feels too dry and not springy enough, add a touch of water and continue to knead until it reaches the right consistency.

Fold the dough into an envelope again, decrease the pasta roller setting to make it thinner and run the dough through again. Repeat this process of folding and running through the pasta roller two times before decreasing the thickness of the roller, finishing with the thinnest setting. Lay the sheets of pasta on a parchment paper-lined sheet tray and cover with a damp towel while you repeat with the remaining pieces of dough.

3/4 cup (84 grams) almond flour
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup (145 grams) granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 cup (112 grams) buttermilk
1/4 cup (90 grams) store-bought strawberry jam
1 cup (227 grams) heavy cream 1/2 cup (60 grams) powdered sugar
Pinch kosher salt
1 pound (454 grams) marzipan Purple food coloring, for the cakes
Dusty rose food coloring, for the roses
Cypress or moss food coloring, for the leaves
2 tablespoons strawberry jam
Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions: For the princess cakes: Place an oven rack in the middle position. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a quarter-sheet pan and line with parchment paper. Set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flours, salt, baking powder and baking soda. In a separate large bowl, use an electric or stand mixer to beat the butter with the granulated sugar until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the egg, vanilla and almond extract and beat well. Add a third of the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and mix until just combined. Add a third of the buttermilk. Repeat with another third of each, and then the final third, mixing until just combined. Spread the batter out evenly in the quarter-sheet pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Begin checking for doneness at 18 minutes. Let the cake cool fully in the pan (the cake can be made in advance and frozen). For the whipped cream: In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the heavy cream, powdered sugar and salt. Beat to stiff peaks. Spoon the whipped cream into a large pastry bag fitted with a large round tip. Refrigerate until ready to use. Use a 2-inch biscuit cutter to cut the cake into 15 circles. Spread the top of each cake circle with a thin layer of jam. Top each with a small mound of whipped cream. Freeze the cakes for 1 hour while you prepare the marzipan. For the marzipan: Separate the marzipan into a 12-ounce ball and two 3-ounce balls. Knead purple food coloring into the 12-ounce ball until the desired color is reached. Wrap in plastic to keep from drying out. Knead dusty rose food coloring into a 3-ounce ball until the desired color is reached. Wrap in plastic. Knead the cypress or moss food coloring into the final 3-ounce ball until the desired color is reached. Again, wrap in plastic until ready to use. In a small mixing bowl, mix together the strawberry jam and 1 tablespoon water until thoroughly combined. Set aside. Roll the purple marzipan out to 1/8-inch thick, dusting with powdered sugar as necessary to prevent sticking. Cut out fifteen 4-inch circles, stacking them with a piece of parchment paper between each one to keep from sticking. Wrap in plastic while you make the roses and leaves. To make the pink roses: Pinch off a small piece of dusty rose marzipan and make little flat snakes. Then coil them to form a rose. Repeat to make 15 roses. To make the leaves: Pinch off a small piece of green marzipan and form into an oval leaf. Repeat to make 30 leaves. Adhere two leaves to each rose using the thinned jam as glue. To assemble the cakes: Remove the cakes from the freezer. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush each purple circle with the thinned jam. Place the circle, jam-side-down, over a cake to cover and gently press all around until the cake is completely covered. Set aside and repeat with the remaining circles until all the cakes are covered. Top each cake with a rose. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to a day or two until serving. Enjoy!

" 19040,"Whole Smoked Pig (The Guy) 6 bunches of fresh cilantro with roots, leaves reserved and stems and roots chopped 4 hands of fresh ginger, 3 cups peeled and chopped
6 heads of garlic, cloves separated, peeled, and chopped
10 shallots, chopped 2 cups fish sauce Ten 14-ounce cans coconut milk, preferably Aroy-D brand, shaken 1 1/2 cups dried red chilies, such as cayenne 6 tablespoons whole white peppercorns Zest of 7 limes 12 fresh kaffir lime leaves, stems and center veins discarded and leaves chopped
12 fresh kaffir lime leaves, stems and center veins discarded and leaves chopped 1 whole pig (at least 200 pounds), gutted and singed, scalded, or shaved 2 cups kosher salt Instructions: Use a mortar and pestle to pound cilantro stems and roots, ginger, garlic, and shallots, to a paste, pounding each ingredient thoroughly before adding the next. Then add the fish sauce to create a thin paste. You'll probably need to work in batches. Transfer to a large bowl and stir in the coconut milk. Grind the dried chilies and peppercorns together in a spice grinder. Add the lime zest and kaffir leaf pieces, and grind them all together until the mixture is fine and slightly moist. Stir the spice mixture into the coconut milk mixture. Rub the pig down and up (put it in a giant garbage bag or large plastic bin), inside and out with the kosher salt. Then rub the coconut mixture all over the salted pig, inside and out. Put the pig, belly up, in a large heavy-duty trash bag and pour any remaining marinade inside the cavity. Squeeze out as much air as possible from the bag and tie it. Let sit for 2 to 3 days in a large refrigerator. Get a large smoker up to 200 degrees F. Remove the pig from the bag, saving as much of the marinade as possible. Put the pig in the smoker, belly up, and pour the marinade into the belly cavity. While it's cooking, focus on stoking your fire, maintaining the temperature, and drinking. The piggy is ready when the internal temperature of the thickest part of the shoulder is at 170 degrees F. Any pig over 140 pounds or so will take the full 24 hours. If you're working with 50-pounders, though, it'll take closer to 12 hours. Remove the pig from the smoker and transfer it to a large table covered with a plastic tablecloth or tarp. Let it rest for about 20 minutes, but pork-mad people will undoubtedly start ripping into the fatty flesh before you can get it to the table. I know because I'm one of them. Use a heavy-duty, sharp knife to remove the primals, peel the skin, and chop the meat. Be sure to have a catch basin for the juice and fat that will be spilling out from the smoky carcass. Toss the reserved cilantro leaves over the chopped meat.

2 tablespoons squid ink
Kosher salt
Instructions: Mound the flour on a clean, dry work surface. Make a hole (this is also called a well) in the center of the flour pile that is about 8 inches wide (bigger is definitely is better here). Crack the eggs into the hole and add the olive oil, squid ink and some salt. Using a fork, beat the eggs together with the olive oil, squid ink and salt; then begin to incorporate the flour into the egg mixture, being careful not to break the sides of the well or else the egg mixture will run all over your board and you will have a big mess! Also, don't worry about the lumps. When enough flour has been incorporated into the egg mixture that it will not run all over the place, begin to use your hands to really get everything well combined. If the mixture is tight and dry, wet your hands and begin kneading with wet hands. When the mixture has really come together into a homogeneous mixture, THEN you can start kneading. When kneading, it is VERY important to put your body weight into it; get on top of the dough to really stretch it and not to tear the dough. Using the heels of your palms, roll the dough to create a very smooooooth, supple dough. When done, the dough should look VERY smooth and feel almost velvety. Kneading will usually take from 8 to 10 minutes for an experienced kneader, or 10 to 15 minutes for an inexperienced kneader. Put your body weight into it; you need to knead! This is where the perfect, toothsome texture of your pasta is formed. Get in there and have fun! When the pasta has been kneaded to the perfect consistency, wrap it in plastic and let it rest for at least 20 to 30 minutes. If using immediately, do not refrigerate.

Cover or wrap the brisket and let it sit at room temperature while getting the smoker or charcoal grill fired up. Do not leave at room temperature for longer than 1 hour. The grill is ready when the charcoal has burned to a white ash. If using a grill instead of a smoker, arrange the coals on 1 side of the grill, leaving an area large enough for the brisket to cook indirectly with no coals directly underneath the meat. When the grill has reached 200 to 225 degrees F, scatter 1/4 of the wood chips over the coals, close the grate, put the brisket on the grill and close the lid. Maintain a 200 to 225 degree F cooking temperature inside the grill, adding coals every 2 hours or as necessary. Add wood chips and spray the brisket with apple juice every time you add new coals. Try not to lift the lid of the grill at any other time. When the brisket reaches an internal temperature of 165 to 170 degrees F on an instant read meat thermometer (after about 4 to 5 hours), remove it from the grill and double wrap in aluminum foil to keep the juices from leaking out.

3/4 cup pastry flour
3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons shortening
1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh yeast, crumbled
Nonstick cooking spray, for the dough 1 1/2 cups (3 sticks) butter, at room temperature Canola oil or shortening, for frying 1 cup your favorite raspberry jam 1/4 cup stiff whipped cream Pistachio Pastry Cream, recipe follows Fresh raspberries, for garnish 2 cups whole milk 2 tablespoons pistachio paste
1 vanilla bean, cut in half and seeds scraped out
1/2 cup cornstarch
1/4 cup sugar
2 whole eggs
1 tablespoon soft butter
1 cup whipped cream (medium peaks)
Instructions: For the cinnamon sugar: Combine sugar with cinnamon in a bowl and whisk to combine. Reserve until needed. For the O-Towner donuts: Place the milk and eggs in a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment. Add the flours, sugar, shortening, salt and yeast and mix with dough hook on slow speed for 6 minutes. The dough should be all together and perfectly soft. Take out of the bowl and shape into a ball. Line a small tray with wax paper and lightly spray with nonstick spray, then place the dough ball on top and cover lightly with plastic wrap sprayed with nonstick spray. Let sit at room temperature for 1 hour, then refrigerate for 1 hour. Place dough on a lightly floured table. Push down with your hands to form a small square, then using a rolling pin, roll out to an 11-inch square. Spread butter on dough, keeping it centered. Fold the dough over the butter like a letter. Next, roll out dough into a long rectangle, about 30 to 35 inches. Do a book fold by bringing each end towards each other meeting in the middle, then folding one side over the other. (This is one book fold.) Let the dough rest 10 minutes and repeat the process, rolling to 30 to 35 inches and doing a second book fold. (If dough is hard to roll, let rest 5 minutes; see Cook's Note.) Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate 1 hour. Unwrap dough and place on a floured table. Start to roll out the dough again to 30 to 35 inches, and give a third book fold. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate 30 minutes. Take out and unwrap, then place on a lightly floured table and roll out again to 30 to 35 inches. Make its last book fold (that will be its fourth). Roll the dough on a lightly floured table to about 1 inch thick and let rest for 5 minutes. Cut out 4-inch circles of dough, then use a 2-inch round cutter to cut the centers out so they look like doughnuts. Place the round doughnuts evenly on lightly-floured dry dishcloths or baker's linen separated by 1 inch each, and cover with dry dishcloths or baker's linen. Let sit at room temperature, or even better, a warm part of your kitchen, until almost doubled, about 2 hours. Heat a few inches canola oil or shortening in a large Dutch oven to 400 degrees F using a thermometer to be very accurate, and carefully add the doughnuts. Let cook until browned, 2 to 3 minutes, then flip and fry 2 to 3 minutes. Remove and roll right away in cinnamon sugar and leave on a wire rack to cool. For the filling: Place raspberry jam in a bowl and whisk until smooth. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the whipped cream until well combined. Flip the O-Towners upside down. Using a paring knife, poke 3 holes in a donut, twisting the knife at each incision and then pulling out: one at 2 o'clock, one at 6 o'clock, and one at 10 o'clock. Fill a piping bag fitted with a 1/4-inch tip halfway with Pistachio Pastry Cream, then carefully insert the tip into the 3 holes you made and carefully fill the doughnuts. Use you fingers to clean any cream that spills out anywhere. Flip the doughnut right-side up again. Fill a piping bag fitted with a 1/2-inch tip halfway with raspberry filling. Pipe a perfect circle on top of the doughnut and garnish with a fresh raspberry and any other garnish you want. Remember, the simpler it looks, the better. Place the milk, pistachio paste and scraped vanilla seeds in a pot and bring to a simmer, whisking to incorporate the ingredients. Mix together the cornstarch and sugar in a bowl, then add the eggs and whisk until smooth. Pour in a quarter of the hot milk mixture, and whisk to combine. Take the pot off the heat and while whisking, quickly scrape all the egg mixture into the pot. Turn the heat back on to medium-high and cook, whisking constantly, to bring to a boil. Take off heat and add the butter, whisking in until smooth. (See Cook's Note.) Take a tray and line it with plastic wrap, then scrape all the pastry cream onto the tray. Cover the hot cream with more plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. Place the pastry cream in a stand mixer and whip up using a paddle until smooth. Fold in the whipped cream with a rubber spatula. The mixture should be smooth and perfectly thick, like a pudding. ","[Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Pinot Grigio]" 19101,"Chocolate Hazelnut Pull-Apart Bread 1 cup cold heavy cream 1 tablespoon hazelnut liqueur
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup blanched hazelnuts (2 1/2 ounces) 1/4 cup granulated sugar 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Two 11-ounce tubes French bread dough, such as Pillsbury 2/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon chocolate hazelnut spread
1/2 cup semisweet mini chocolate chips
2 tablespoons heavy cream
Instructions: For the whipped cream: Add the cream, liqueur and confectioners' sugar to a stand mixer fitted with the whip attachment. Whip on high speed until soft peaks form. Hold in the refrigerator until ready to serve, up to 3 hours. (Makes 2 cups.) For the pull-apart bread: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the hazelnuts on a baking sheet and toast in the oven until light golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool completely. Finely chop and set aside. In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar, cinnamon and salt. Set aside. Lightly brush the loaf pan with 1 tablespoon of the melted butter. Line the pan with parchment paper, leaving at least 2 inches of overhang on the long sides to serve as handles later. Lightly brush the parchment with melted butter, then dust the entire pan with 1 tablespoon of the cinnamon sugar mixture; reserve the remaining cinnamon sugar. Tap out any excess sugar from the pan. Unroll one tube of bread dough on a very lightly floured work surface. The dough should form a 12-by-15-inch rectangle; stretch the dough a bit if small. With the long side parallel to you, spread the dough with 2/3 cup of the chocolate hazelnut spread, leaving a 1/4-inch boarder. Sprinkle with the chocolate chips and then with 1/4 cup of the chopped hazelnuts. Unroll the second tube of dough and lay it on top of the first. Brush the top with melted butter and sprinkle with the reserved cinnamon sugar mixture. With a ruler and a chef's knife, mark the short side of the dough at 4-inch intervals. Cutting parallel to you, slice the dough straight across at each mark, into three 4-inch-wide strips. Next, mark the long side of the dough at 3-inch intervals and cut the dough, perpendicular to you, along those marks; you will now have fifteen 3-by-4-inch rectangles. Evenly stack three of the rectangles on top of each other so that the bottom piece of dough, without any sugar on it, lays against a piece of dough that does have sugar on it. Place the stack of dough into the loaf pan on its 4-inch side so that the dough fills the width of the pan. Continue stacking pieces of dough and placing the stacks in the loaf pan until all of the rectangles are inside the pan. As you go, you may have to use one hand to hold up the dough already in the pan and gently push it back to make room for all of the dough. Using a pairing knife, cut the dough in the loaf pan lengthwise down the middle, cutting three-quarters of the way through, essentially splitting the dough in half. Place the pan on a baking sheet, cover with foil and bake for 55 to 60 minutes. The bread is done when the entire loaf has turned a deep golden brown and the sugar is caramelized and bubbling up the sides of the pan. Remove from the oven and let cool for 20 minutes. While the bread cools, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon chocolate hazelnut spread and the heavy cream in a bowl until smooth. Hold at room temperature until ready to serve. Remove the bread from the loaf pan while still warm, so the caramel does not completely set. Use a bread knife to loosen the sides of the bread that does not have parchment and then lift the bread out of the pan using the parchment handles. Remove the parchment and place the pull-apart bread on a serving tray. Drizzle with the chocolate hazelnut drizzle and sprinkle with the remaining chopped hazelnuts. Serve with the hazelnut whipped cream.

1 large shallot, finely diced (about 1/3 cup)
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 ounces cremini mushrooms, stemmed and sliced 1/4 inch thick 4 ounces shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and sliced 1/4 inch thick 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into tablespoon-size pieces Kosher salt 1 1/4 cups Arborio rice 1/3 cup dry white wine 1 sprig fresh thyme 1/4 cup grated Parmesan, plus more for garnish 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley Instructions: Stir together the dried porcini and 1 cup of the chicken broth in a microwave-safe 2-cup or larger measuring cup. Microwave, uncovered, on high (at 100 percent power) until the broth is hot but not boiling, 1 1/2 minutes in an 1,100-watt oven or 2 1/2 minutes in a 700-watt oven. Let sit for 5 minutes. Remove the porcini pieces from the liquid with a slotted spoon, squeezing out excess moisture in the process. Chop the porcini coarsely. Reserve the chopped porcini and the porcini broth separately. Place the shallots, garlic, cremini and shiitake mushrooms, 2 tablespoons of the butter and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a microwave-safe 8-by-8-by-2-inch baking dish. Cover tightly with 2 pieces of plastic wrap; make a small slit in the center with the tip of a paring knife to vent excess steam. Microwave on high (at 100 percent power) until all the vegetables have softened, 5 minutes in an 1,100-watt oven or 9 minutes in a 700-watt oven. (When removing the plastic, be careful to avoid the hot steam.) If some of the vegetables still seem a little raw, stir and microwave again, covered, in 30-second increments. Add the rice to the baking dish, and stir to coat the grains.

Cover and microwave on high (at 100 percent power) until the rice is cooked but with the faintest bite in the center, 9 minutes in an 1,100-watt oven or 15 minutes in a 700-watt oven. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, Parmesan and parsley, and stir vigorously until creamy. At this stage, the risotto should be thick but pourable from a spoon; if it's too stiff, splash in more broth. Let sit, covered, for 2 minutes to rest and come together.

Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until shrimp are opaque and have cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the skewers and transfer to the bowl containing the walnut and scallion mixture. Arrange shrimp on a platter. Serve immediately. Note: For easier cooking use 2 skewers when cooking shrimp, thread one through the area by the head of the shrimp, the other by the tails. This will keep the shrimp flat and will prevent them from spinning or falling through the grates during cooking. No time to grill? This recipe works just as well sauteed.

1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, optional 2 large eggs, beaten 2 cups shredded Cheddar (about 8 ounces) 1 cup shredded Parmesan (about 5 ounces) Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper Marinara sauce, for dipping Instructions: Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment and coat with cooking spray. Add the cauliflower and garlic to a food processor and pulse until finely ground and the consistency of couscous. Transfer the cauliflower mixture to a large bowl. Add the Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes if using, eggs, 1 cup Cheddar, 1/2 cup Parmesan, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and combine until the mixture holds together when squeezed.
Spread the cauliflower mixture into an 8-by-12-inch rectangle about a 1/4 inch thick on the prepared baking sheet. Use the straight edge of the parchment as your guide to keep the cauliflower mixture edges straight too. Bake until the crust turns golden brown all over, 18 to 20 minutes.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and lay another piece of parchment on top of the crust. Fit a second rimmed baking sheet on top so the bottom of the baking sheet is touching the parchment. Using oven mitts, hold the 2 baking sheets together and flip them over so the crust is now on the parchment on the upside-down baking sheet. Remove the first parchment from the crust, cut the crust into 1 1/2-inch-thick strips (you should have 8 to 9 strips) and spread them apart a little. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup Cheddar and 1/2 cup Parmesan. Bake on the upside-down baking sheet until the cheese is melted and turning brown in spots and the visible crust is a deep golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes.

In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, a pinch of cayenne and the cinnamon. Place the bacon on a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle each slice of bacon with some of the spiced sugar and bake, about 10 minutes. Flip the bacon, sprinkle with the remaining spiced sugar and continue to cook until crispy, about 10 more minutes. Remove the bacon from the oven and allow to cool. When the bacon is cool, mince it and set aside, reserving a quarter of it for garnishing the eggs. Put the cold eggs in the bottom of a medium saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring water to a boil and remove the pan from the heat. Cover the pan with a lid and let stand for 12 minutes. Drain the eggs and rinse with cold water. Let the eggs cool a bit and then peel when they are still warm (eggs are much easier to peel when they are warm). After they are peeled, you can then store them, covered, in the fridge. Mix together the mayonnaise, mustard, dill, cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne, the scallions and the minced bacon in a medium mixing bowl. Season with the salt. Slice the eggs in half lengthwise. Gently remove the yolks by pressing your thumb against the back of the yolk to pop it out of the white. Add the yolks to the bowl with the mayonnaise mixture. Mash together, using a fork, until smooth. Put the filling in a re-sealable bag. Cut one end off and pipe the filling into the egg whites. Sprinkle with the paprika, extra bacon bits and dill before serving. Cook's Notes: A wire rack is a great way to cook bacon because the air can circulate around the bacon making it crispy and delicious. Plastic bags are a great tool to use in place of a piping bag, easy and disposable. ","[Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Pinot Grigio]
" 19211,"Chocolate Frame 32 ounces flour for molding, as needed 32 ounces bittersweet chocolate, tempered Vegetable oil Instructions: You can make your chocolate frame any size you would like, however, if you were planning to use it around a chocolate \canvas, your frame should be the appropriate size. Whatever the case, your first step is to make the frame template. If you want your frame to be square, you will only need one piece of wood, if you would like it to be rectangular, you will need two. Choose a piece of wood that is the length and texture you would like for your frame. Using a mitre box, cut the one or two frame template pieces exactly to size. Both ends should be cut on an angle, and the back should have 2 nails sticking out of it. Using a whisk, lighten the flour by incorporating a little air. Spread a 2-inch thick layer of flour on top of a large sheet pan (or directly on the work surface, if the frame you are making requires more space). The amount of flour required will depend on the size of the chocolate frame. Press each piece of the frame template into the flour, immersing it completely and using even pressure, then carefully and delicately lift it out. Place the bittersweet chocolate in a piping bag with no tip. Placing the tip of the piping bag as close as possible to the flour/relief, carefully fill the space with chocolate and allow it to set for about 30 minutes. When the chocolate has set, lift it from the flour. If you would like an antique look, leave the flour on the chocolate piece, otherwise, clean it off using a strong bristled pastry brush or nailbrush. Please note: It is better to place the melted chocolate in a piping bag and pipe it into the flour. If you pour the chocolate from a spouted container, the weight of the chocolate as it falls can damage the delicate flour mold. If you are using a chocolate canvas, place it on the work surface in front of you. Position the chocolate frame pieces on top of the canvas along the edges. Trim to fit if necessary. Lift one frame piece and, using a cornet filled with chocolate, draw a line directly onto the canvas in its place. Reposition the chocolate frame piece so it is \glued\ to the canvas. Repeat with the other three frame pieces. To finish, you can use a pastry brush dipped in vegetable oil to apply a thin coat to the chocolate frame. This will give it a slight shine. Special Equipment: Wooden frame template. How to Temper Chocolate(From Dessert Circus, Extraordinary Desserts You Can Make At Home by Jacques Torres): Chocolate is tempered so that after it has been melted, it retains its gloss and hardens again without becoming chalky and white (that happens when the molecules of fat separate and form on top of the chocolate). There are a variety of ways to temper. One of the easiest ways to temper chocolate is to chop it into small pieces and then place it in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time on high power until most of the chocolate is melted. Be very careful not to overheat it. (The temperature of dark chocolate should be between 88 and 90 degrees F, slightly warmer than your bottom lip. It will retain its shape even when mostly melted. White and milk chocolates melt at a temperature approximately 2 degrees F less because of the amount of lactose they contain.) Any remaining lumps will melt in the chocolate's residual heat. Use an immersion blender or whisk to break up the lumps. Usually, chocolate begins to set, or crystallize, along the side of the bowl. As it sets, mix those crystals into the melted chocolate to temper it. A glass bowl retains heat well and keeps the chocolate tempered longer. Another way to temper chocolate is called seeding. In this method, add small pieces of unmelted chocolate to melted chocolate. The amount of unmelted chocolate to be added depends on the temperature of the melted chocolate, but is usually 1/4 of the total amount. It is easiest to use an immersion blender for this, or a whisk. The classic way to temper chocolate is called tabliering. Two thirds of the melted chocolate is poured onto a marble or another cold work surface. The chocolate is spread out and worked with a spatula until its temperature is approximately 81 degrees F. At this stage, it is thick and begins to set. This tempered chocolate is then added to the remaining non-tempered chocolate and mixed thoroughly until the mass has a completely uniform temperature. If the temperature is still too high, part of the chocolate is worked further on the cold surface until the correct temperature is reached. This is a lot of work, requires a lot of room, and makes a big mess. A simple method of checking tempering, is to apply a small quantity of chocolate to a piece of paper or to the point of a knife. If the chocolate has been correctly tempered, it will harden evenly and show a good gloss within a few minutes.

Butter and flour 2 (8-inch) round cake pans. In a small bowl, pour 1 cup boiling water over the cocoa powder, whisking until smooth. Set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 1/4 cups flour, baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt, and set aside. In a large bowl, combine the mayonnaise and sugar. Mix on medium speed until pale and fluffy. Add the vanilla and the cocoa mixture, mixing just until combined.
Gradually add the flour mixture, mixing gently just until combined. Divide the batter between the pans and bake until a toothpick comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Set the pans aside to cool completely. While the cakes cool prepare the filling.
For the filling: Whisk the sugar, cornstarch, 1/2 teaspoon salt and eggs together in a medium saucepan. Whisk in the milk until well combined. Continuously whisk over medium heat until the mixture comes to a boil. Boil and whisk for 1 to 2 minutes or until the mixture thickens. Remove the pan from the heat and add the chocolate chips, butter, and vanilla, stirring until combined and smooth. Pour into a bowl and cover with plastic wrap so that the wrap is touching the top of filling. Chill until ready to use.
For the frosting: In a large bowl, combine the butter and cocoa on medium speed until smooth. Add the vanilla. Alternate confectioner's sugar with heavy cream until the frosting reaches the desired consistency. Cook's Note: You may use more or less sugar and cream depending on when you reach the texture you prefer.
For the ganache: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and heavy cream. Microwave on high 1 minute, then remove and whisk together. Return to microwave for 1 more minute on high, remove and whisk. Follow this step until the mixture becomes glossy, smooth and easily spreadable. If too thick you may add slightly more cream.
To assemble the cake: Place one cake layer on the cake plate. Cover top with chilled pastry cream until about a 1/2-inch high. You will not likely use all of the pastry cream but fit in as much of it as you can without it running over. Place the second cake layer on top of the filling. Smooth the sides and refrigerate for a few minutes to help it set up. With a large ladle pour the ganache into the center top of the cake, moving the ladle in circular motions to spread over the top of the cake. Add more ganache and repeat the motion as needed until the top of the cake is covered and smooth. Clean any ganache that drips down the sides. Return to refrigerator for a few minutes to firm up the ganache.
Spread a thin layer of frosting around sides of cake only then go back over it adding more. Set aside any unused frosting for piping the bottom and top border. Do not frost over the ganache. Using a piping bag fitted with a large star or shell tip, pipe a border around the bottom of the cake and around the top edge of the cake to cover the line where frosting and ganache meet.

Add the coconut milk, sazon con azafrin, salt and chicken bouillon. Stir together. Taste the liquid to see if it needs any additional salt. Set aside until ready to add to the boiling rice. For the rice: Heat a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the oil to the pot and let heat up for 1 minute. Add the rice, water and reserved paella rice seasoning and let it slowly come to a boil. Stir all the ingredients together. Allow the rice to absorb all the visible liquid. Once most of the surface liquid is absorbed, stir the rice and turn the heat to low. Cover the pot with a lid and let it simmer for 20 to 25 minutes. The rice grains will be fluffy when fully cooked and all the liquid will be absorbed. For the meats: Heat a wok or pan over medium heat. Add the oil and green onions and let it warm. Add Chinese lap cheong sausage, mild pork sausage and edamame beans and stir fry. Add cooked paella rice and sambal chili garlic. Stir the rice, sausages, edamame beans and onions together. Scoop the rice in a bowl, top with the soy marinated pork carnitas and garnish with green onions. Combine the soy sauce, sugar, mirin, oyster sauce, mushroom soy, green onions, star anise, cloves, peppercorn blend, cinnamon sticks and ginger slices in an 18-quart container. With a large whisk, mix the ingredients together. Make sure all the sugar at the bottom is properly stirred into the liquid. Gradually pour the water into the container and continue to stir. Cut the pork butt in 2-inch square pieces. Trim all the hard fat off and leave about a quarter of the soft fat on the meat. Set the pork in a deep cooking pan, and, using a ladle, pour the soy marinade mix over the meat, make sure all the meat is covered in the liquid. (Any extra soy-ginger marinade can be put away and used again on a later date.) Add the dried black mushroom and bay leaves to the liquid, spreading them evenly throughout the pan. Tightly wrap the pan with heavy-duty foil and refrigerate overnight. The next day, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Make sure the foil is tightly sealed around the pan and cook until the pork is fork tender, about 3 hours. Take the pan out of the oven and remove the foil. With a fork and tongs pull at the pork. It should easily tear off to assure it's fully cooked.

Reduce the heat enough to keep the milk in a low boil, and cook, stirring frequently, until the milk is reduced to about 1 1/2 to 2 cups, about 20 minutes. Heat 1 tablespoon ghee in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the nuts and cook, stirring, until golden and crunchy, about 2 minutes; remove to a paper towel and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the carrots and cook over medium heat, stirring, until the carrots soften and dry up a little, about 15 minutes. If the carrots start sticking, add 1 tablespoon ghee.
Add the reduced milk and cardamom if using and increase the heat to medium-high. Mix well and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat a touch to maintain a heavy simmer, stirring regularly, until the milk is completely absorbed by the carrots, about 30 minutes.
Add the sugar and cook, stirring regularly, until thickened, 10 to 12 minutes. Taste and add more sugar if needed. Remove and discard the cardamom seeds if desired.
If serving right away, add 3 tablespoons of ghee and cook, stirring, until the halwa starts pulling away from the side of the pan and is a little caramelized, about 10 minutes. Garnish with nuts before serving.
Ideally, you should make the halwa earlier in the day or the day before. Just before serving, heat some ghee in a wok or large skillet (in India they would do it in a kadhai), add some of the halwa (just as much as you want to eat) and cook, stirring, until somewhat caramelized and a little crunchy. Garnish with the nuts and serve.
