Chestnut, Port, Cranberry and Bacon Stuffing

Serves 4

500g / 2 ½ cups sausage meat

75g / ½ cup dried cranberries

Port 50ml / ¼ cup

1 clove of garlic chopped

1 white onion chopped

1 1/2 tsp dried thyme

3 rashers of streaky bacon

240g cooked and peeled chestnuts

140g breadcrumbs 2/12 cups or 3 slices white bread

1 large egg

Salt and pepper

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to Gas 5 or 190c

2. Soak the cranberries in the port for about an hour before you start making it! Makes it taste nicer but don’t worry

about it if you’ve run out of time!

3. Start by gently frying the onions and bacon together in a pan with a little oil or butter, until they start to go golden,

about 3 minutes. Meanwhile blend the chestnuts until they are in small pieces or finely chop them with a knife.

4. Once the bacon and onions are cooked put them in a big bowl and simply add all the other ingredients and mix well

together. Get your hands in there and messy – its easier!

5. Roll into balls or use as stuffing to put inside the turkey. If you’re cooking it separately from the turkey, roll into

balls and cook in the oven for approximately 30 minutes on gas 5.

Sweet Potato Dauphinois

Serves 8

3 large sweet potatoes

1 cup Gruyere cheese, shredded

Salt and pepper to taste

2-3 cups heavy whipping cream

1 stick butter

1 tbsp nutmeg

Directions:

1. Clean and then thinly slice the sweet potatoes into circles. A mandolin is most helpful in this process.

2. In a pie dish, grease the dish with the butter.

3. Create a layer of sweet potatoes on the bottom of the dish. Pinch off small nuggets of butter and sprinkle on top of

the sweet potatoes (about 1 tbsp of butter/layer).

4. With each layer of sweet potatoes, sprinkle the finely shredded gruyere cheese, a pinch of salt, pepper and nutmeg.

Note: This will make about 4 layers of sweet potatoes and you want the top layer to have the butter/cheese as well.

5. Once the layers have been packed firm, pour cream around the perimeter until it starts to leak through the top of

the potatoes.

6. Cover with aluminum foil. Place the pie dish on a cookie sheet to prevent any spills or drips from getting your oven

dirty. This dish does have a tendency to ooze over the sides.

7. Bake at 350 degrees for an hour. After the hour has passed, for 5 minutes, turn the oven to the broiler setting,

remove the foil and broil. This will crisp up the potatoes.8. Let cool for approximately 10 minutes. Cut like a pie and serve.

Green Beans with Roasted Garlic

and Mushrooms

Serves 4-6

Directions

1. Roast garlic the night before preparing the rest of the recipe.

2. In a large saute pan, heat the oil until quite warm, then add the mushroom slices and cook over

medium-low heat for about 15-20 minutes, until their moisture is evaporated and they are lightly

browned. Stir occasionally to prevent burning. Remove from heat.

3. While the mushrooms cook, prepare the beans. Combine them with the broth in a large saute

pan with a lid. Cover, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for about 10

minutes, until almost tender when tested with a fork.

4. While beans cook, squeeze the roasted garlic from skins into a small bowl.

5. Finely chop the fresh herbs and set aside.

6. When beans are almost tender, remove the lid and push the beans to the sides of pan. Add the

roasted garlic to center of pan and, using a large fork, mash and blend with remaining vegetable

broth to form a thin paste. Blend in the olive oil, then stir the garlic paste into beans to coat. Stir

in the cooked mushrooms, fennel or tarragon, and salt and pepper. Cook 2-3 more minutes or

until all of broth has evaporated and flavors have melded. Serve immediately.

There are two main ways to stuff a turkey.The traditional method is to stuff the turkeywith the uncooked stuffing ingredients andthen roast it. Another method is to preparethe stuffing separately in a casserole dish andthen stuff it inside the roasted turkey. Bothmethods will result in delicious stuffing ifproperly prepared, but the traditionalmethod requires a little more care andattention.

Making Thanksgiving Stuffing At Home

iFOOD.TV COOKBOOK | 10

To figure out how to cook the turkey, use a turkey roasting timetable. The time and temperature willvary according to the size of the turkey. A food thermometer is also useful for checking the temperatureof your turkey as it roasts. The temperature in the inner thigh area should be 180 degrees F and thetemperature of the stuffing area should be 165 degrees F.

If you find that the turkey has roasted completely before the stuffing is ready, remove all the stuffingfrom your turkey and bake it separately. Then re-stuff your turkey. If both have cooked properly in thesame amount of time, take them out of the oven and immediately cover the turkey with aluminum foil.Let the turkey sir for 10-15 minutes, before carving.

First, prepare your materials. You can use different types of items to stuff the turkey. One of the mostcommon choices is to use dry bread cubes. You can also use vegetables, sausages, seafood, eggs, etc. Donot use pre-cooked or pre-packaged stuffing as you will not get the desired quality. If you prefer thetraditional method of preparing stuffing, mix all the ingredients together before packing them into theturkey.

Do not over stuff the turkey or even stuff tightly. Stuffing will expand during the cooking process, sopacking a turkey too tightly may result in a burst mess. Keep enough space inside the turkey for hot air tocirculate. After packing the turkey loosely tie both the drumsticks together with a clean and white string.Also secure the neck portion with the help of toothpicks, so that nothing comes out. Bake your extrastuffing as well so you can serve it next to the Turkey.

On the other hand, if you follow the secondmethod, it will be quite simple. Bake the stuffingwhile the turkey is being roasted. Let the stuffingbake at 325F for at least an additional 30 minutesafter the turkey is done. Then pack your turkey withthe stuffing and voila! Your Thanksgiving turkey isready to be served.

It’s that time of the year again, the one dayyou hope no one asks you to hold the knife.It’s Thanksgiving and you have no ideahow to carve a turkey.

Don’t lose hope just yet. Even if you area complete novice to the fine art of carving,all it takes is a little knowledge, some basicknife skills and belief in yourself to carve outthose perfect pieces for the family!

How To Carve A Thanksgiving Turkey

Separating the Wing

Before you carve the breast, remove the wings. This is easily by twisting at the shoulder joint, exposingthe bone. Cut through the joint and separate the wing.

Carving the Turkey Breast

Now it’s time to attend to the best meat on the turkey: the breast. Carve the breast parallel to thebreastbone. Be careful to slice diagonally through the meat. Continue carving until all the meat has beenseparated and arrange on a platter.

To carve properly you will need a cooked turkey from which the juices have drained. You will also need acarving fork, a carving knife, a wooden board and a platter. It is also important to let the turkey rest forabout 20-30 minutes after you take it out of the oven. Take a good look at the breastbone that runs rightdown the center of the turkey. On both sides of the breastbone are the meaty breasts of the bird. This iswhere you will get the best slices of meat. The breast also happens to be the portion that dries up thequickest. So, it is a good idea to finish eating those pieces first. And save the remaining pieces forleftovers.

Carving the Legs

Place the turkey breast side up on the wooden cutting board. Begin carving the turkey by cutting awaythe legs. You can do this by cutting the skin between the thighs and the breast, then pressing the thighoutward and slicing through the hip joint or you can simply grab the leg, twist at the hip joint and tear itaway. You will now have a piece which has the thigh as well as the drumstick. Cut at the joint to getseparate pieces.

It is up to you if you want to keep the drumsticks whole or to cut them into three or four slices, onefrom each side around the drumstick. Now focus your attention on the thigh. Place it flat on the cuttingboard, carve slices parallel to the bone and separate the meat

Water 300ml

Butter, cut into small pieces 75g

Salt 1 tsp

Pinch of grated nutmeg

Flour 275g

Large eggs 5

Egg, beaten with 1/2 tsp water

Vanilla ice-cream 50ml

Dark cooking chocolate, melted 125g

Directions:

1. Bring the water to the boil in a large saucepan.

2. Add the butter, salt and nutmeg and, when the butter has melted, remove from the

heat and gradually beat in the flour.

4. One by one, beat the eggs into the mixture, making sure each is absorbed before

adding the next. When the eggs have been added, the mixture should be thick and

glossy.5. Preheat the oven to hot 220°C. Lightly grease two baking sheets.

6. Fill a forcing bag, fitted with a plain nozzle, with the pastry dough.

7. Squeeze the dough on to the baking sheets in circular mounds (about 5cm/2in in

diameter and 2 1/2cm/1 in in height). If you do not have a forcing bag, arrange the

dough carefully into mounds on the sheets, using two spoons. The puffs will

expand considerably in baking, so allow plenty of space between each one.

8. Coat each puff with the beaten egg mixture and put the sheets into the oven. Bake

for 10 minutes.9. Reduce the oven temperature to fairly hot 190°C and bake the puffs for a further

25 to 30 minutes, or until they have doubled in size and are light brown in color.

10. Remove from the oven and make a slit in the side of each puff to allow the steam

to escape. Replace the puffs in the turned-off oven for 10 minutes, then transfer to

a wire rack to cool to room temperature.

11. Cut the tops off the puffs and reserve. Fill the puffs with the ice-cream. Replace

the tops and arrange the filled puffs on a serving dish.

12. Pour over the melted chocolate and serve at once.

have their recipe included in our next cookbook, send us an email at [email protected].
