(Recipe Source: Better Homes and Gardens)
Submitted by: Molly |
1/2 cup chopped dried figs or prunes (3 ounces)
1/4 cup Brandy
1 large leek, white and pale green part only or 1 medium onion,
chopped (1/2 cup)
2 teaspoons Olive oil
1 small pear, cored and finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons Olive oil |

Place dried fruit and Brandy in a small saucepan and place over
low heat just until hot (do not boil). Remove from heat, cover
and let stand for 15 to 20 minutes or until fruit is plumped and
most of the liquid is absored. Meanwhile, cook leek or onion in
the 2 teaspoons Olive oil in a medium skillet until tender. Add
any remaining brandy from soaking fruit, pear, and garlic. Cook
and stir until tender. Add plumped fruit to pear mixture along
with pecans, matzo crumbs, lemon peel, thyme and pepper. Cut a
lengthwise slit down the center, but not through the bottom, of
the beef brisket. Spread open. Pound entire surface lightly with
the flat side of a meat mallet until about 1/2 inch thick.
Season lightly with salt and pepper. Spread fruit mixture over
meat to within 1/2 inch of edges. Starting from a long edge,
rolll up meat and fruit mixture. Tie with string at 1-inch
intervals. Brown meat in the 2 tablespoons Olive oil in a large
skillet or Dutch oven. Place on a rack in a roasting pan. Roast
in a 375°F oven about 40 minutes or until meat thermometer
inserted near the meat's center registers 140°F. Transfer to a
platter and cover with foil. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing
and serving (temperature of the meat will rise 5°F during

Azorean
Double-Marinated Quail
Submitted by:
Barbiel |
four 4-ounce quail, fresh or
defrosted
water mixed with white vinegar
3 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed with 1 teaspoon of salt
2 teaspoons sweet paprika
1/2 teaspoon hot Spanish or Hungarian paprika, or more to taste
1 tablespoon vinegar |
6 fluid ounces domestic beer
1/4 cup Olive oil
coarse salt
sprigs of parsley or watercress as garnish
8 lemon wedges |
|
Cut the quail in half with shears.
Wash the halves in the vinegared water, drain, and pat dry
with kitchen towels. Combine the crushed garlic and paprikas,
and rub the mixture over the quail. Combine the 1 tablespoon
of vinegar and the beer in a bowl, add the quail, and marinate
in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours, turning occasionally.
Put the quail, marinade, and Olive oil in a large skillet and
bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, covered,
for 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer the quail to a deep bowl. Boil
the cooking liquid until it's reduced enough to coat the back
of spoon. Add more hot paprika to taste. Pour the cooking
liquid over the quail, cool to room temperature, cover, and
refrigerate for up to 2 days. Preheat the oven to broil.
Remove the quail from the cooking liquid and, without drying,
broil them close to the heat, turning once and basting with
the liquid until crisp and well browned. Serve at once,
sprinkled with coarse salt and surrounded by parsley and lemon
wedges. Makes 4 servings.
Note: When ready to serve, the quail may be broiled or
grilled quickly until the skin crisps.
