I’m adding the following requests to our requested recipe index. I hadn’t done it earlier because Disney seemed to be giving the “not available” response to people. But I’ve noticed we’re getting answers again, so I’m adding them now.

I was wondering if anyone has been able to get a hold of the recipe for the cornbread from the Celebration Roundup Barbeque at DLR?? We've been craving it seriously since we came home.
I don’t see the recipe from CRB listed in our index, but it does show another DL recipe for cornbread. Maybe it’s similar? Big Thunder Ranch, DL: Cornbread page 155

Does anyone have the recipe for the Japanese Curry at Yakitori House? DH says it was his favorite meal on our trip, and we ate at some good places!
<snip>

Does anyone have the recipe for the mainstreet bakery brownies?
<snip>

DH and I were at AK and they had a mini sample of a few different foods. They gave our recipe cards along with the samples, and of course we lost the one DH wanted to make. It was called "Jasmine Chicken" (think Princess Jasmine) but I don't think it had anything to do with actual jasmine in the recipe. Does anyone have this long lost recipe? It was a simple sauce with seared chicken breast served with brown rice.

Request from another thread: I am looking for a recipe for this. It was like a casserole with pork shank on the bottom, them saurkraut, and topped off with creamy mashed potatoes with cheese.

Anyone have this recipe, or knows how to get it from there?

We went to Disney for our first trip in June. I have my trip report here (http://oxbowvacations.blogspot.com/2009/06/disney-2009-travel-day-fl-caverns-sp.html). We ate at Sunshine Seasons once and I had the Smoked Ham & Salami Grinder sandwich. I'm currently craving this sandwich and am looking for the recipe but can't find it. Is there anyone out there who can help me find this recipe or one very close to it?

Thanks!!!

Index is complete through this post.

Just got back late last night from a month in the Mediterranean and am flying out tomorrow evening for Orlando. I plan to copy the request list before I leave tomorrow and will try to get some of the recipes on it. However, if they are no longer on the menu it won't be possible. Thanks Tinker_Belle for posting all the wonderful new recipes.

Just found this in my email (I love surprises!)

Milanese Risotto
Swan & Dolphin Resort

Ingredients:
5 1/2 Cups Chicken Stock (preferably homemade)
2 Tbsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 Small Onion (finely chopped)
Salt and Freshly Ground Pepper
1 1/2 Cups Arborio Rice (10 Ozs.)

Method of Preparation:
In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken stock to simmer; keep warm. In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil. Add the onion, season with salt and pepper and cook over moderate heat, stirring until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the rice and cook for 1 minute, stirring to thoroughly coat. Crumble the saffron into the wine and add it to the rice. Cook, stirring, until the wine is absorbed. Add 1 cup of the warm stock and cook over moderate heat, stirring constantly, until nearly absorbed. Continue adding the stock 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly, until it is nearly absorbed between additions. The risotto is done when the rice is al dente and suspended in a thick, creamy sauce, about 20 minutes total. Season the risotto with salt and pepper. Stir in the cheese, butter and parsley.

Serve immediately.

Serves: 6

After visiting the new tequila bar in Mexico i'm :lovestruc
does anyone have the recipe for the jalapeno margarita it was great

also the recipe for the chase (palette cleanser) with the tequila flight
it was like a wonderfully spicy bloodymary mix...when we asked the waiter
he said it has grapefruit juice:confused3 in it…but would love to know how to make it

I haven't tried any of these so I can't tell you which is better or if any are like what you had. But you can have a lot of fun trying them out.:rotfl2:

Jalapeno Margarita



1 jalapeno, sliced and de-seeded
1 1/3 cups tequila (something silver and good like Patron)
1 cup triple sec*
1 cup fresh lime juice (10 limes)
3 tablespoons superfine sugar
kosher salt and ice



In a jar, steep the jalapeno and tequila WITHOUT SEEDS for 1 hour.
Strain the tequila into a large pitcher and discard the jalapeno.
Stir in the orange liqueur, lime juice and sugar.
Pour the salt and a small amount of the margarita onto 2 rimmed plates.
Dip the rims of 6 glasses into the margarita, then into the salt.
Fill each glass with ice, pour in the margarita and serve.

Or...



1 jalapeno, poked with a knife
1 1/3 cups tequila
1 cup orange liqueur
1 cup fresh lime juice (10 limes)
3 tablespoons superfine sugar
Kosher salt and ice



In a jar, steep the jalapeno and tequila; keep at room temperature for 3 days.
Strain the tequila into a large pitcher and discard the jalapeno. Stir in the orange liqueur, lime juice and sugar.
Pour the salt and a small amount of the margarita onto 2 rimmed plates. Dip the rims of 6 glasses into the margarita, then into the salt. Fill each glass with ice, pour in the margarita and serve.


Or...


Make a big batch of margaritas with a twist. Pulse 1 thin slice jalapeno, a handful of celery leaves, 6 ounces fresh lime juice and a spoonful of confectioners' sugar in a blender. Mix with 16 ounces tequila and 8 ounces orange liqueur in a pitcher; chill. Serve on the rocks in salt-rimmed glasses.

Please post to let us know how they compare.

The "chaser" was a Sangrita, not to be confused with sangria. Generally it is a virgin bloody mary. It can be made with tomato juice or not, oj and/or grapefruit juice, fresh lime juice, seasonings, and sometimes grenadine. To devise a recipe I would suggest starting with small amounts, tasting and adjusting.

To start,
1/4 cup tomato juice
1/4 cup oj or grapefruit juice or a blend
1/8 cup fresh lime juice

then add a dash of one or more seasonings like

worchestershire sauce
tabasco sauce or hot sauce
grenadine
celery salt or powder
pepper
onion powder
seasoned salt
salt
chili powder

if you use celery salt or seasoned salt, leave out the regular salt. You do not have to use everything I listed, I am just trying to give you ideas. You can even try smaller amounts, I would just keep the tomato and oj (or grapefruit or blend) equal amounts, and the lime juice half of your tomato juice amount.

Let us know what you come up with.

I'm back from my 9 days at WDW with free dining plan, and I'm so spoiled by not having to pay for food there. It was such a bargain and my sister and I used our DS credits for Jiko, Citrico's, Sci -Fi Diner, Chefs De France, Crystal Palace, & Kona Cafe. We also attended the first Party for the Senses and I posted my pictures and reviews of that event, and our 2 days at the Food and Wine Festival here: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2292406&page=10 (http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2292406&page=10)

I printed out most of the requests (I didn't bother with the items that I know don't exist anymore) and I requested recipes at every restaurant we went to. I didn't request recipes at the Counter Service places because they are either too busy, or I know the staff there won't have the recipes. I tried some of the requested items, ie. the Black Forest cupcake at Contempo Café, the Garlic Mashed potatoes at Crystal Palace, - and decided, in some cases, to not use up a request for them because they were either very simple dishes that one can figure out without a recipe, or I really didn't like them very much.
The pattern at the restaurants seems to be the same these days when you request a recipe - so obviously they’ve standardized the procedure. In extremely rare cases, they'll actually go back to the kitchen and return with a recipe but usually, the waiter tells you to write your request down (which is why I tried to keep the list short), include your e-mail, and they will send the recipes to you. I haven't heard back from a single restaurant. They did the same thing at Party of the Senses, and I haven't heard back from a single chef either. At Boma, the waitress insisted that AKL now has a recipe page on its website and I should look there, but when I asked the waitress at Jiko about it, she laughed and said there's no way.
I did get some contact names because I sat with one of the Epcot Food and Beverage managers at POTS, and I also spoke to the new Epcot Executive Chef Jens Dahlmann - who gave me his card. There's been some shuffling of the Chefs and I intend to follow up my “on location” requests with further e-mails.

I bought the 2009 Epcot Festival cookbook and Delicious Disney Desserts, so I'll be transcribing and adding new recipes as I have the time.

I would please like to ask (once again), that anyone else who enjoys collecting Disney recipes and happens to make a trip to any of the theme parks, take those 2 minutes and ask your waiter for the recipe, to either a new dish that you might've enjoyed or to one of the outstanding requests. It's much more fun to come to this thread and see recipes being posted rather than just an endless list of requests.

Starting with Crystal Palace:

Picture of the Crystal Palace Lunch Buffet.

Crystal Palace requests: 177: Key Lime Pie page 12
1411: Mashed Potatoes page 95 (Are they the same as Chef Mickey’s?)
597: Vegetable Frittata page 40

I was there for the lunch buffet and there was no key lime pie. They had the garlic mashed potatoes and the Vegetable Frittata but no recipes cards printed for them. Instead the waiter gave me:

Lemon Squares
The Crystal Palace Restaurant, Magic Kingdom
Serving Size: 12

Dough:
1/2 cup softened butter
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt

Cream butter and sugar together, slowly adding the egg, then the flour and salt together. Press into the bottom of a sprayed sheet pan. Bake for 15 minutes at 350°. Remove from oven and cool slightly.

Filling
½ Egg yolk
2 cups granulated sugar
2 tablespoons lemon rind

Combine all ingredients and pour over the dough, placing in a 350° oven for 25 minutes. Remove and cool. Cut into diamond shapes when finished.

Pasta di Fortunata
The Crystal Palace Restaurant, Magic Kingdom

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 red tomatoes, very large dice
2 yellow tomatoes, very large dice
½ yellow onion, julienne
1 1/2 tablespoons garlic, sliced
2 ounces whole kalamata olives
1/2 cup stemmed grapes
4 ounces basil pesto
1 bunch mint leaves, stemmed, rough chopped
1/8 ounce chili flakes
2 ounces fresh spinach
1 bunch fresh basil, stemmed and whole
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup Italian breadcrumbs, for garnish

Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add kosher salt (water should taste like seawater) and drop penne pasta. Heat a sauté pan on high heat with extra virgin olive oil. Sauté tomatoes, onions, olives, and grapes for about 15 seconds. Add garlic, salt and pepper and a pinch of the chili pepper flakes. Deglaze pan with balsamic vinegar and pesto. Reduce heat and allow to cook.
When pasta is almost cooked al dente, remove from water and add to pan. Reserve some of the pasta water. Add the spinach, ½ the mint, basil, and another pinch of the chili flakes. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Add reserved pasta water if pasta is a little dry. Place in a serving dish, top with breadcrumbs and remaining mint. Enjoy!


http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn316/AngelaSchneider_photo/Disney%20World%202009/BrownieCheesecake.jpg
Brownie Cheesecake
Disney's Boardwalk Bakery, WDW
Serves 12

Brownies
2 cups sugar
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
5 eggs
2 sticks of butter, melted
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 13 x 9 x 2" baking pan. Sift together sugar, flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder in a large mixing bowl. Beat flour mixture and eggs on low speed using an electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally and mixing until smooth. Slowly add melted butter and beat until just combined: do not over mix. Fold in chocolate chips.
Transfer batter to prepared baking dish. Bake until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.

Cheesecake
3/4 cup sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
4 8-ounce boxes of cream cheese
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 eggs
2 tablespoons heavy cream
2 tablespoons sour cream

Preheat oven to 325°. Cream sugar, cornstarch, and cream cheese in a large bowl using an electric mixer. Add lemon juice and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly. Add eggs one at a time, scraping the bowl with each addition. Fold in heavy cream and sour cream. Spread batter on top of already baked brownies. Bake until cheesecake is lightly browned and firm, about 55 - 60 minutes. Cool completely and refrigerate at least one hour before serving.

Greek Cinnamon Stewed Chicken
Kouzzina by Cat Cora, Boardlwalk, Disney World
Serves 4

1 chicken (2 1/2 to 3 pounds), cut into 8 pieces (legs, breast and thighs)
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
2 tsp. kosher salt
1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
5 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
1 large yellow onion, peeled and coarsely chopped
2 cups water
1 can (6 ounces) tomato paste
1 Tbsp. dried Italian herb seasoning
1 cup orzo, cooked according to package directions
1/2 cup shredded *Mizritha cheese (a Greek hard cheese)

Preboil water with sea salt.
Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. A wet chicken will cause the oil to splatter while the chicken is sautéing. Mix the cinnamon, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Rub the chicken pieces on all sides with the seasoning.
Heat the olive oil in a large, nonreactive, deep skillet over high heat. A 12-inch skillet with sides about 2 1/2 to 3 inches high will allow you to brown all the chicken at once. If you don't have a skillet large enough, brown them in two batches using 1/2 the oil for each batch. What's important is that the chicken isn't overcrowded, which would cause them to steam rather than brown.
Add the chicken to the oil and brown for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side. Turn the pieces using a metal spatula, as they have a tendency to stick to the pan. Remove the pieces when they are well browned on all sides.
Mince three of the garlic cloves. Lower the heat to medium-high, and add the onions and minced garlic. Cook for about 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the onions have softened and are a rich golden brown. Add about 1/2 cup of the water and scrape the bottom of the pan with a spatula or spoon to deglaze the pan, loosening any particles stuck on the bottom.
When the water has evaporated, add the remaining 1 1/2 cups of water, tomato paste, Italian seasoning and remaining 2 garlic cloves, minced.
Return the chicken to the pan. The liquid should cover about 3/4 of the chicken pieces. Cover the pot and simmer over medium-high heat for about 30 to 40 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and thoroughly cooked. If the sauce becomes too thick, it can be thinned with a little more water. Season the finished sauce with kosher salt and pepper to taste. Serve over orzo, cooked according to package directions, and sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top.
*if not available, use a blend of ricotta salata and romano.

Char-grilled Lamb Burger with Garlic 'Sauce'
Kouzzina by Cat Cora, Boardlwalk, Disney World
makes 4 servings

1 pound ground lamb
1/3 cup chopped kalamata olives
3 tablespoons dried bread crumbs, preferably panko
2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
1 tablespoon chopped scallions
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano
2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese

Garlic Sauce
1/4 cup plain yogurt
2 garlic doves, minced
4 onion hamburger rolls, split and toasted
4 lettuce leaves. washed and dried
4 tomato slices
4 cucumber slices (optional)
4 thin slices red onion (optional)

1. With your hands or a wooden spoon, mix the lamb, olives, bread crumbs, onion, scallions, salt, pepper, oregano, and feta until all the ingredients are evenly distributed. Shape the meat mixture into four 1/2-inch-thick patties.
2. Preheat a grill or a grill pan. Grill the meat patties over medium-hot coals or pan-grill over medium-high heat for 5 minutes per side. The burgers should no longer be pink in the center.
3. For the garlic sauce: While the burgers cook, stir together the yogurt and garlic.
4. Place each burger on the bottom of a roll, spoon on a little garlic sauce, and top with lettuce, tomato, and cucumber and onion, if using. Cover with the top half of the roll and serve.


Mushroom Risotto
Victoria and Albert’s Restaurant, Grand Floridian, Scott Hunnel
Serves 6

4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
1 small onion, minced, about 1 1/4 cup
2 cups arborio risotto
5 1/2 cups chicken stock
1/2 pound mushrooms, chopped in bite-size pieces
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
Coarse salt, freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Black truffle oil, optional

Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat in a medium-sized heavy-bottomed saucepan.

Add onions and sauté for 4 minutes; add risotto and sauté for 4 to 5 minutes more to coat rice.
Reduce heat to low and gradually add 1 cup chicken stock, stirring often, until the rice has absorbed the liquid. Add remaining broth, 1 cup at a time, cooking and stirring to absorb each addition of broth before adding more, about 30 minutes. Risotto should be creamy.
Heat remaining olive oil in a skillet over medium-high and sauté mushrooms. Set aside.
Remove risotto from heat and stir in mushrooms, butter, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper into risotto. Drizzle with truffle oil, if desired. Serve immediately.

We just got back last weekend. Our favorite at Food & Wine was the scallops from the Wellington, New Zealand stand so I thought I would stop by and share the recipe.
http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa73/baerstaci/IMG_8331.jpg

SEARED SEA SCALLOPS
& VEGETABLE SLAW WITH LEMON VINAIGRETTE

Vegetable Salad
3/4 cup chopped yellow pepper
3/4 cup chopper red pepper
1 cup thinly sliced red onion
2 cups thinly sliced fennel bulb
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
3/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
coarse salt, freshly ground white pepper, to taste

* Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes.

Scallops
1 to 1-1/4 pounds sea scallops (approximately 16)
Coarse salt, to taste
2 teaspoons butter
2 teaspoons olive oil

* Remove the small side muscle from each scallop, rinse with cold water and pat dry.
* Salt the scallops.
* Add the butter and oil to a saute pan over high heat. As pan begins to smoke, add the scallops, making sure they do not touch each other. Sear for 1-1/2 minutes each side; they will have a golden crust but still be translucent in the center.
* Serve immediately with vegetable slaw.

MickeyWanaBe - your pictures are so amazing. I wasn't wild about the salad that came with the scallop and threw it out. But the scallop was delicious. I just felt the two didn't fit together.

I liked the Passion Fruit Mousse:

Pavé de Maracujá (Passion Fruit Mousse Cake)[/B]
Rio de Janiero, Brazil, Epcot Food and Wine Festival 2009
Serves 8 – 10

48 champagne finger biscuits or lady finger biscuits
2 cups sweetened condensed milk
6 large egg yolks
1 cup fresh or bottled *unsweetened passion fruit juice
6 tablespoons mascarpone cheese
1 cup milk

1. Arrange the biscuits in a 2-quart bowl to cover the bottom and sides. Remove biscuits from bowl and set aside.
2. Blend condensed milk, egg yokes, and juice in a food processor or blender for 1 minute. Add the mascarpone cheese and blend on high until smooth. Cover the bottom of the serving bowl with 1 cup of the mixture; set aside.
3. Pour the milk into a separate bowl. Reserve 6 biscuits for the topping, then quickly dip the remaining biscuits one by one in the milk (do not soak biscuits or they will fall apart). Place moistened the biscuits on the bottom and sides of the serving bowl, fitting snugly side by side.
4. Add half the remaining passion fruit mixture and cover with another layer of soaked biscuits. Top with remaining passion fruit mixture.
5. Crumble reserved dry biscuits and sprinkle over the top.
6. Cover and chill for at least three hours before serving.
* Unsweetened passion fruit juice can be usually found in the organic section of your local grocery store. Pavé is the French word for a dessert consisting of layers of sponge cake and filling.

This dessert is a favorite in many of the reviews.

[B]Warm Chocolate Lava Cake with Bailey’s Ganache

Does anyone have the recipe for the pork tenderloin with white cheddar mustard spaetzle from the Brown Derby?

I am glad someone has brought this one up. It is an amazing dish!!! I have been looking for the recipe for a while but I can't find anything like it anywhere. When I was there they said they could not share the recipe with me. But things change and I'm sure someone out there has this one floating around. Thanks in advance.

Vegetable Quiche
Boulangerie Pattiserie, France, Epcot

For Filling:
1 zucchini cut into ¼ “ cubes
¼ medium onion cut in ¼” cubes
1 medium tomato cut into ¼” cubes
6-8 oz. shredded Swiss cheese
1 tsp. thyme, minced
1 tsp. rosemary, minced

Quiche Liquid:
3 eggs
1 cup half & half
1 cup heavy cream
Whisk together

Combine filling ingredients, season with salt & pepper; you want about a 50-50 mix of cheese and vegetables.
Place in a pie shell and cover with quiche liquid. Place in a preheated 300˚ oven and bake for 45 minutes to one-hour until top is golden brown. Remove from oven allow to rest for 15minutes before slicing.



Made this last night and it was delicious.

Arroz con Pollo
San Juan, Puerto Rico, Epcot F &W Festival 2009
Serves 10 - 12

1/2 medium yellow onion, coarsely chopped
1 large shallot
5 cloves garlic
1 medium green bell pepper
1 medium red bell pepper
4 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, divided
1/2 cup olive oil
3 pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
1/2 cup tomato paste
1/2 cup sliced green olives
1/4 cup drained capers
5 cups chicken broth (I needed about 7 cups before the rice was done)
4 cups short grain white rice
Coarse salt, cracked black pepper, to taste

1. Place onion, shallots, garlic, green and red peppers and 2 tablespoons cilantro in food processor and pulse to a fine chop. Set aside. (Mine was very fine by the time I was finished - more like a salsa - but it still tasted great).
2. Heat oil in a 5-quart sauce pot over medium-high heat. Add chicken and stir for 2 to 3 minutes until browned.
3. Add chopped vegetables, tomato paste, olives, and capers, and continue to cook and stir for 6 to 8 minutes until chicken is cooked through.
4. Stir in broth and rice. Cover and reduce heat to medium to maintain a gentle simmer and cook until the rice has absorbed the liquid, about 10 minutes.
5. Turn the heat to low and cook, covered, for 10 more minutes or until the rice has absorbed all the liquid.
6. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Just before serving, stir in remaining cilantro.

Not sure if this has been addressed before, but has anyone put this in a word document that they'd be willing to share? If not, I'm thinking about starting on one - these recipes allow me to daydream about Disney all year long!

I haven't tried any of these so I can't tell you which is better or if any are like what you had. But you can have a lot of fun trying them out.:rotfl2: <snip>

Were any of these "official" Disney recipes? Or just alternatives offered in lieu of actual WDW recipes? (Just so I can mark them accordingly in the index...)

Not sure if this has been addressed before, but has anyone put this in a word document that they'd be willing to share? If not, I'm thinking about starting on one - these recipes allow me to daydream about Disney all year long!

I have a Word document with the index, but I don't think that's what you want...besides it has all the formatting marks in it for this thread. I can't imagine how HUGE a single document with all these recipes would be - certainly not something I'd want to print out! :rotfl: (I just added recipe # 1500 to my list!)

What I do is copy the recipes I think the family might like - each into it's own Word document - and keep folders for each park and resort, with sub-folders for each restaurant. I find it much easier to do a search this way...some I have an idea where to look & just do it visually, while other times I just use the Windows XP search feature.

And finally a request copied from another thread:
i don't know where to post this, please move if it's not the right place...

i know most of the restaurants will give you a recipe if you ask. i got the spinach and artichoke dip from capt. jack sparrows (delish!) and the passion fruit margarita from san angel inn.

i forgot to ask at kouzina for the herb salsa recipe that came with the wood grilled flank steak. it was unbelievably good and after searching the web, i've come up empty handed.

if anybody knows it can you post it? or point me in the right direction to find it....

TIA

MickeyWanaBe - your pictures are so amazing. I wasn't wild about the salad that came with the scallop and threw it out. But the scallop was delicious. I just felt the two didn't fit together.

Thank you. The pictures make my mouth water just looking at them. I have lots more pictures to share on the "food porn" thread, but I have to space my posting out or I go over my bandwidth allowance and get put in timeout...

We loved it! I will eat just about anything if it comes with scallops! It was the one thing we HAD to go back and "try" a second time!

Love the pics you posted cassie. Was the margarita blended with the ice like a slushie or served over ice. Can't really tell from the glass - it just looks good! I'm really missing Disney as well, but am having fun going through the Epcot 2009 cookbook.

Today I made one of my favourite drinks - the Mango Lassi. Mmmmm, good!

Mango Lassi
New Delhi, India, Epcot Food and Wine Festival 2009
Serves 4

2 cups ripe mango, chopped
Pinch of salt
1 cup chilled whole milk
1 cup whole-milk plain yogurt
2 - 3 teaspoons sugar, optional

1. If mango has stringy fibers, pushed through a nylon sieve with the back of a spoon. The remaining mango should not contain any stringy pulp. Refrigerate until cold.
2. Combine mango, pinch of salt, milk and yogurt in a blender and purée until smooth. Taste and add sugar to taste. If you would like the lassi a bit colder, add about eight ice cubes to the blender. Can be refrigerated up to 24 hours.

My note: I blended the mango with the milk, and then forced it through a sieve to get rid of the stringy pulp. In my blender, it's easier to blend something with liquid.

Rava Masala Dosai with Sambhar
(Potato and onion pastry with vegetable stew)
New Delhi, India, Epcot Food and Wine Festival 2009
Makes 20 (10") shells

Dosai Shells
1/2 cup urad dal (lentils), split and skinned
1 teaspoons salt
1 3/4 cups rice flour
3 1/2 cups water
Oil for cooking

Potato Filling
1/2 cup oil
1 teaspoon black mustard seeds
1 large onion, diced
1 large serrano chili, diced
10 curry leaves
6 medium white potatoes (about 2 pounds), peeled and cubed (1/2 inch cubes)
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
2 1/2 cups water
Coarse salt, freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Chutney, optional, for serving

Sambhar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon black mustard seeds
1 medium onion, diced
3 dried red chiles
2 serrano chiles, seeded and finely chopped
10 curry leaves
1/2 teaspoon coriander seeds
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 medium tomato, diced
2 medium Japanese eggplant, peeled and diced into small 1/2" cubes
1 1/4 cup toor dal (split pigeon peas)
3 teaspoons salt
6 cups water
1 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon tamarind paste
2 dashes asafetida

For the Dosai Shells:
1. Place the urad dal in a medium mixing bowl and cover with water. Cover and set aside to soak for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible.
2. Drain the urad dal; grind using a food processor, blender, or mortar and pestle. While grinding, you will need to add a little water at a time to make a fine paste. Season with salt.
3. Combine the urad dal, rice flour and 3 1/2 cups of water in a large mixing bowl until well blended. Cover the batter and set aside in warm place to ferment and bubble for at least 8 hours. Batter will double in volume and will have a bitter smell.
4. Heat a large non-stick or cast iron skillet over medium heat. Spread a very thin layer of oil in the pan with a cloth or paper towel. Pour the batter, using a 2-ounce ladle, in the center of the skillet. Quickly swirl the dough away from the middle of the skillet, using the back of the ladle until it is thinly spread and even in a 10-inch circle in the pan.
5. For crispness, add a little oil around the edges of the pancake. Cook for about one minute, or until edges brown. With a spatula, flip and cook until the other side is golden brown.
6. Remove from skillet and roll the dosai into large tubes. Keep warm until served. Repeat process with remaining batter, wiping the skillet with a paper towel between each dosai.

For the potato filling:
1. Heat oil in a 9-quart stock pot. Toast the mustard seeds in the oil until they pop.
2. Add onions, chili and curry leaves and sauté until translucent.
3. Stir in potatoes, turmeric and salt. Cover mixture with 2 1/2 cups water and cook for 20 to 30 minutes, or until potatoes are soft and water is evaporated.
4. Mash the potatoes with an immersion blender or handheld blender. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

To serve: Place warm dosai shell on a plate and spoon 4 - 5 tablespoons of the filling in the center; fold the sides over the filling. Serve with your favorite chutney on the side.

For the sambhar:
Makes 8 (1 cup) servings

1. Heat oil in a 9-quart stock pot over medium heat. Add the black mustard seeds and continue cooking for 2 to 3 minutes until the seeds begin to pop.
2. Add the onion, dried chiles and serrano chiles and cook the ingredients for 5 to 7 minutes or until they are translucent and soft. Stir constantly.
3. Add curry leaves, coriander seeds and turmeric; stir until combined.
4. Add tomato and cook for five minutes. Stir in eggplant, potatoes, toor dal and salt.
5. Add 6 cups of water. Cover and bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer for 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are soft.
6. Add fresh cilantro, tamarind paste and asafetida; continue simmering for five minutes, covered.
7. Season to taste with salt and tamarind paste. Serve hot.

Cooks Note: Urad Dal are black lentils that has been split and skinned. You can purchase them already split and skinned at your local Indian market. They are also referred to as white lentils.
The first dosai shell you cook is often unusable. Consider it practice and it seasons the pan for the rest of the shells.
Sambhar is one of the most popular dishes in South Indian cuisine. This view accompanies most every meal.

Also did anyone else notice the Maple Glazed Salmon with Lentil Salad recipe in the cookbook is not the same as what was served at the F&WF? The lentils I had last week had corn in them and no sausage. Not a huge deal, we like lentils and are looking forward to trying the recipe in the cookbook.

i'm going thru this thread slowly, i hope the Sirloin Asado con Chilaquiles from san angel inn are in here! (Chilaquiles - layers of fried corn tortilla, green tomatillo sauce, topped with fresh cheese, onions, sour cream) the sauce is very yummy!

There is a recipe from the 2007 Food and Wine festival which I posted on page 138 - #2063. It's the same as this years.

cassiez76 - looks like the Chilaquiles is in this years recipe book. They've had it in the past few years. BTW, I found there was too much rice in the Pollo con Arroz recipe. 4 cups of dry rice makes enough to last a LONG time.

I made the Dolce de Leche cookies tonight so i could use up the Argentine Dolce de Leche I had in thre fridge. I remember the cookie part as tasting sweeter at the F & W Festival and perhaps a softer cookie. Maybe I had them in the oven too long. I'm making the Italian Lemon Tart from Delicious Disney Desserts for Thanksgiving tomorrow and will take a picture.

Dobos Torte
Wolfgang Puck - Signature Dinner, for Food and Wine Festival 2009, Downtown Disney
1 (9-inch) round torte

Cake:
12 ounces unsalted butter, cut into chunks
1 vanilla bean, split in half lengthwise
2 ounces powdered sugar
10 eggs, separated
1 cup sugar
7 ounces cake flour, sifted

Chocolate Buttercream:
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
2 eggs plus 1 egg yolk
1 pound butter, cut into pieces
12 ounces bittersweet chocolate, melted
1 tablespoon rum, optional

Caramel Topping:
6 ounces sugar


Cake: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Mark the outline of a 9-inch cake pan on parchment paper. Repeat until you have 6 marked circles.

Place butter and vanilla in mixing bowl. Warm over low heat to soften. Transfer to a mixer and whip for 1 minute. Add powdered sugar and continue to whip another 5 minutes, until smooth and well blended. Lower the speed and add the egg yolks. Continue to whip for 2 to 3 minutes, until light.

In another mixing bowl, whip the egg whites until soft peaks. Add the granulated sugar and increase speed of the mixer. Whip until stiff but not dry. Fold the meringue into the egg yolk mixture. Gently fold flour into the egg mixture. Divide the batter equally among the 6-marked circles. With an offset spatula, spread the batter about 1/4-inch thick to fill in the marked circle. Bake in preheated oven for 6 to 8 minutes or until light golden in color. Allow to cool. Transfer each cake circle onto a 9-inch cake board. Reserve.

Chocolate Buttercream: In a saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Boil to 240 degrees F or soft ball stage on a candy thermometer. Do not stir.

Meanwhile, in a mixer, beat the eggs and egg yolk until light and ribbony. Lower the speed and gradually pour the hot syrup into the egg mixture. Increase the speed and whip mixture until room temperature. Add the butter, 1 piece at a time. Then add the melted chocolate and rum, if desired. Continue to whip until smooth and well blended.

Caramel Topping: Cook sugar until is amber in color. Pour caramel over 1 of the reserved cake layers. Run edge of a chef's knife in butter. With the help of the buttered edge knife, spread the caramel to cover the entire surface of the cake circle. Allow to cool to set the caramel. Cut into 12 equal pie cuts. Reserve.

To assemble torte: Reserve half of the Chocolate Buttercream. Using some of the remaining buttercream, spread a 1/8-inch layer on top of the first cake layer. Continue layering the remaining the 4 remaining cake circles and spreading the buttercream. When all 5 cake layers have been frosted, frost the sides and top of the cake. Use a pastry comb to finish the sides of the layered cake. Mark the top of the cake into 12 pie sections. Pipe the remaining buttecream on top of each pie section and arrange the caramel slices on top of the piped cream at an angle.

There is a recipe from the 2007 Food and Wine festival which I posted on page 138 - #2063. It's the same as this years.

I tried that recipe once, it definitely didn't seem like what we had last year. The recipe here calls for 2 cups of liquid with only a few dry ingredients. What we had last year was more like an herb salad - this is more like a sour salad dressing.

The Swan and Dolphin Resort just published their October recipe: http://www.swandolphin.com/recipeclub/images/1007l.jpg

Pumpkin Cheesecake

Ingredients for Cheesecake:
1 Lb. Cream Cheese
10 Oz. Canned Pumpkin
6 Oz. Sugar
4 Each Eggs
4 Oz. Heavy Cream
1 Tsp. Cinnamon
1/2 Tsp. Ground Clove
1/2 Tsp. Nutmeg

Ingredients for Crust:
2 Cups Graham Cracker Crumbs
Melted Butter


Method of Preparation for Cheesecake:
With an electric mixer, mix the cream cheese and sugar until it is free of lumps. Add the pumpkin and spices. Mix until all the items are completely combined. Add the eggs slowly, mixing and scraping as you go. Last, mix in the heavy cream. Set aside.

Method of Preparation for Crust:
Mix together Graham Cracker crumbs and only enough butter to hold the crumbs together. Pack this crust in a half-inch layer on the bottom of a 10" greased cake pan. Pour the cheesecake batter in the mold and bake at 325° until a "testing" knife comes out clean from the center. Approximate baking time is one hour, depending on the oven.

Presentation:
Place a slice of cheesecake on serving plate of your choice.

Serves 6-8

:thumbsup2 I prepared this recipe yesterday. Made some changes since DH is gluten intolerant so could not use graham crackers for the crust. Instead I crumbled some gluten free shortbread cookies, enough to make the suggested 2 cups. It only took 1/4 cup of melted butter to provide the glue to hold the crumbs together.
Baked the cheesecake in a 9 inch springform pan placed in a piece of tin foil protective base, so the butter from the crust wouldn't mess-up the oven.

This is not a sweet dessert. The texture (and taste) is very similar to a pumpkin pie. I suppose the texture is due to the 4 eggs in the recipe. I also used the whole 15 oz of pumpkin that comes in the can ... just couldn't bring myself to throw that last bit away. It did take about an hour 10 minutes to bake. Upon cooling the top cracked a bit which of course didn't affect the taste but wasn't a very nice presentation.

DH loved it! His comment was that it had lots more flavor than store bought pumpkin pies.

Ditto! I just flipped through it quickly and didn't study it. I never think about getting the recipes while I am there. I just get the cookbooks and I usually find want I want in there. I guess I wasn't so lucky this time.

Here are some pictures to makes everyone's mouth water and hopefully inspire someone that is going down soon to seek out the recipe for us... PLEASE!

Thanks for posting that so quickly GingerC! I'll be giving it a try at home.

I tried to fulfill some of the outstanding requests at the Kona Cafe but Chef Michael Thompson (who came up with the currrent menu) is no longer there and apparently the recipe print-outs have gone with him. They had the 2 below in the kitchen and promised to send me the rest - but of course, nothing.
The Pan Asian Pasta request is the same dish and same recipe I was given last year - except perhaps they used Bow Tie pasta one day because they ran out of Chinese egg noodles? I would simply substitute Bow Tie Pasta if you prefer it.
The Volcano dessert request: there is no dessert like the one described on the menu unless the person means the Kilauea Torte - recipe on page 12? There is no lava cake type item on the dessert menu.

does anyone have the recipe for Kona's crab cakes?
Thanks
Robin

Crab Cakes
Kona Café, Disney's Polynesian Resort, WDW (Chef Michael Thompson)
Yield: ½ gallon

Crab Cakes
3 - 1 LB cans Lump Crab Meat
1 cup Mayonnaise
2 TBSP Dry Mustard
1 bag Panko Bread Crumbs
½ Red Pepper, diced
3 TBSP Toasted Coriander, ground
2 TBSP Grated Fresh Ginger
1 TBSP Salt
10 each Fresh chives, chopped fine
Basil Oil (below)
Chili Oil (below)
Chipotle Pepper Mayonnaise (below)
Greens Mix (below)
Lemongrass Crème Fraîche (below)

Place crabmeat into a bowl; look over for any possible shells remaining. Add 1/2 bag of Panko breadcrumbs and remaining ingredients; mix well. Place remaining bread crumbs in a bowl. Scoop out crap mix and formed into a cylinder then coat lightly in breadcrumbs. Keep refrigerated and covered until ready to cook.
Preheat oven to 400°. In a hot pan, lightly coated in Canola oil, sear the crab cakes on top and bottom of cylinders till a golden brown. Place crab cakes in oven for 6-8”; this will heat the center of the crab cake.

Basil Oil
1/4 cup Canola Oil
1 bunch Fresh Basil
Handful Fresh Spinach

Place fresh basil and spinach in a blender; add oil and blend until liquefied; add more oil if necessary. Let sit at least overnight in the refrigerator; best results when it sits for 3 to 4 days. Strain oil through cheese cloth and oil is ready for use.

Chili Oil
1/4 cup Canola Oil
1 TBSP Chili powder

Combine ingredients and allow to sit at least overnight, like Basil Oil. This is best when it sits for 3 to 4 days. No need to refrigerate.

Chipotle Pepper Mayonnaise
1 can (7 Oz) Chipotle Peppers
2 egg yolks
1 quart canola oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
4 TBSP Water
2 TBSP Lemon Juice

Remove chipotle peppers from can and clean out as many of the seeds as possible. In a food processor, place the egg yolks. Have food processor running while slowly drizzling in the oil to make a mayonnaise. Once you have a mayonnaise, add the remaining ingredients. If it becomes too thin, add more oil slowly.

Greens Mix
1 lb. Mixed Greens
Zest of 1 lemon
1 whole Red Pepper, julienne
1 whole Red Onion, julienne
½ Cucumber, thinly sliced at an angle
Pinch salt and pepper
¼ cup Lemon Vinaigrette

Toss all ingredients in bowl right before service.

Lemongrass Crème Fraîche
1 TBSP fresh grated lemongrass (grated very fine)
2 TBSP sweet chili garlic sauce
¼ cup Key lime juice
1 TBSP minced fresh cilantro
1 cup Crème Fraîche
½ tsp Kosher salt
¼ tsp White Pepper, crushed

Combine and blend (do not beat) all ingredients until well incorporated.

Presentation or Assembly
On a salad plate, arrange three of the crab cakes in a triangle shape. Top with greens mix, then drizzled basil oil and chili oil around plate. Top the greens and crab cakes with strips of Chipotle Pepper Mayonnaise or Lemongrass Crème Fraîche.

If anyone's going to Kona Cafe soon, could you please request the Tuna Oscar recipe? I forgot to ask for it and I'm dying to try it at home! Yum Tuna Oscar!
Thanks...

Ahi Tuna Oscar
Kona Cafe, Disney's Polynesian Resort
Yield: 4 servings

For the “Asian blackening spice”
1/2 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 ½ tablespoon Hungarian paprika
1 ½ tablespoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons black sesame seeds
¼ each full sheet of sushi nori

For the Wasabi Hollandaise Sauce
2 tablespoons pasteurized egg yolks
1 tablespoon lemon juice, fresh squeezed
1 cup clarified butter
½ teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon wasabi powder
1 teaspoon rice vinegar
½ teaspoon kosher salt (to taste)

For the Tempura Batter
½ cup all purpose flour
½ cup cornstarch
1 cup ice water
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
½ tablespoon baking soda
1 tablespoon white vinegar

For the finished plates
4 each 6-7 ounce fresh Ahi tuna steaks with skin and blood line removed (at least ¾ inches thick)
4 tablespoons “Asian blackening spice”
4 tablespoons clarified butter
12 each intact pieces of jumbo lump crabmeat (3 per plate)
1 cup tempura batter
20 spears pencil asparagus, trimmed of the woody bottom of the stem (5 per plate)
12 slices very ripe tomato, ¼ inch thick (3 per plate)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon Kosher Salt
½ tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup wasabi hollandaise sauce

Method of Preparation:
1. For the Asian blackening spice, grind the sushi nori in a coffee grinder or mini food processor until it is the consistency of a powder. Mix all remaining ingredients for the Blackening spice mix.
Reserve until just before cooking the tuna steaks.

Make the wasabi hollandaise sauce as follows,
1. Place a drop of cold water into a medium sized stainless steel mixing bowl on top of a suitable saucepan with boiling water inside. This is creating a double boiler with the bowl as the top half.
2. Add egg yolks and lemon juice to the mixing bowl, whisk with a thin wire whisk until the eggs are the consistency of medium custard. If the eggs start to cook too much, remove from the heat.
3. When the eggs are a custard-like consistency, whisk in the clarified butter in a thin stream until incorporated.
4. Mix the honey, wasabi powder, and rice vinegar in a small bowl until well incorporated and then add to the hollandaise sauce. Mix until well blended and season to taste with kosher salt.

Make the tempura batter by mixing all ingredients and mixing just to incorporate with a wire whisk. Do not over mix the batter, it can be slightly lumpy. Let it rest for at least ½ hour before using.

Fry the crabmeat by placing the lump crab in a bowl, adding the tempura batter, carefully mixing to coat, then removing the crab with a fork and dropping into a 350 degree F deep fat fryer until crisp.
Drop the crab in separate pieces so it will not stick together in the batter. Season with Kosher salt immediately upon removing from the fryer. Hold warm in a low oven until needed for up to about 10 minutes.

Coat the top and bottom of the tuna steak with the Asian blackening spice. Preheat a cast iron or heavy bottomed skillet on high heat until very hot, then carefully add clarified butter and place the tuna into the pan. Sear until you have formed a crust, then turn and cook the other side until similarly crusted. This should take about 1 minute per side and the tuna will be rare at this point. To cook to a higher degree of doneness, reduce the heat to medium and continue to cook on each side until it is to individual liking. Steam the asparagus and griddle the tomatoes while the tuna is cooking.

Steam the asparagus in the microwave or in a steamer until it is bright green and al dente. It should retain some crispness. Season with Kosher salt and black pepper immediately.

Season tomato slices with kosher salt and black pepper, then a few drops of olive oil. In a preheated non-stick pan or pancake type griddle, cook the tomato slices until lightly browned on each side.
Using a spatula, remove the tomato slices and place three slices in the center of each of four large dinner plates (Ask your guests to search for the “hidden Mickey”)

Presentation or Assembly:
1. Slice the tuna on an extreme angle from top corner to opposite bottom corner. Place on the tomatoes in the center of the plates.
2. Arrange the asparagus spears, tips upward on each plate, leaning on the tuna.
3. Carefully pour ¼ cup of wasabi hollandaise sauce over the tuna and asparagus (mostly down the center, so as not to hide the tuna).
4. Finally, place three tempura fried crab pieces atop the tuna, asparagus, and sauce.
5. Serve immediately.

FILE CHICKEN GUMBO
House of Blues
Yield: 12 (10 ounce) servings.

2 Tbl olive oil
12 oz frozen cut okra
½ lb yellow onion, cut in ¼” dice
¼ lb celery, cut in 1/4” dice
¾ lb green bell pepper, cored and seeded and cut in ¼” dice
1 Tbl minced garlic
¼ lb andouille sausage, split and sliced in ¼” rounds
2 qt chicken stock
1¼ Tbl Kosher salt
1 tsp Cajun seasoning
6 oz diced tomatoes, canned
2 oz brown roux (see note)
1 tsp gumbo file
8 oz chicken breast, cut in 1” dice
2 c cooked white rice
2 Tbl freshly chopped parsley

1. In a saucepot, heat half of the oil to the smoking point, add half of the okra and sauté until light brown and slimy looking. Lower the heat to medium; add onions, celery, pepper, garlic and andouille; sauté until the vegetables become translucent. Be careful not to burn. Add the diced tomatoes, Cajun seasoning and 1 tablespoon of the salt; mix well.
2. Crumble roux into chicken stock. Whisk until the roux is completely dissolved. Mix chicken-stock mixture with vegetables. Bring to a boil and let simmer 10 minutes. Stir frequently so the gumbo does not burn into the bottom of the pot.
3. In a sauté pan, heat remaining oil to smoking point. Add chicken and remaining salt. Sauté until the chicken is cooked through and slightly brown. Add the rest of the okra and cook until hot. Drain well and add to the gumbo with the file; mix well.
4. To serve, put 2 ounces of rice into a bowl and ladle 10 ounces of gumbo over rice. Garnish with the parsley.

How to make brown roux: In a heavy stockpot, heat 2 cups vegetable oil to 150 F. Slowly whisk in 1 pound flour, mixing well. Cook in a 375 F oven for about 2 hours. Stir every 15 minutes. Roux is done when chocolate brown in color. You can freeze the roux in small portions and use as needed in recipes. [NOTE: Making a proper roux (pronounced "ROO") is a critical step in this recipe. Rouxs change character and color the longer they are cooked. Dark roux, such as the one used in this recipe, adds a nutty, toasty layer of flavor to the gumbo.]

Green Peppercorn Steak Au Poivre
Chef Robert Irvine, Epcot Food and Wine Festival Culinary Demo

3 tbsp. butter
1 tbsp. neutral oil, such as canola or grapeseed
Salt and coarsely ground black pepper
4 tenderloin steaks, each about 6 – 8 ounces
2 shallots, chopped
2 tbsp. canned green peppercorns
1 tbsp. Dijon mustard
2 tbsp. cream
1 cup demi-glace (brown sauce)

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (so you can keep the steaks warm).
Put 2 tablespoons of the butter and oil in a large skillet and turn the heat to medium-high. Season the steaks with salt and pepper. When the butter melts, add the steaks and turn the heat to high. Sear on the first side for about 3 minutes, then turn and sear on the second side for 2 – 3 minutes. Lower the heat and cook until just short of your chosen level of doneness, about 7 minutes total for medium-rare. Remove to a utility platter and keep warm in the oven whilst you make the sauce.
Pour out any fat from the skillet leaving the brown bits in there. Add the remaining butter and shallots and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the shallots are soft, about 3 minutes. Add the green peppercorns and cook for 30 seconds. Add the mustard, cream and demi-glace and cook, stirring for 30 seconds.
Pour the sauce over the steaks and serve. Was served with mashed potatoes, grilled onions and asparagus.

Things may have changed but in 2007, this was posted at Mousesowners (a DVC board).
I can't find a recipe to recreate the white bean hummus, and since it is not made by WDW they can't provide one either. But the japaleno hummus at Cost Plus World Market does taste similar, especially when eaten with plain Stacy's pita chips.

I was told the same thing at The Pepper Market where I had an extremely good mango cheesecake and had requested the recipe.

Tatania,
Thanks, don't know how I missed it I had spent a couple of hours searching and I didn't see it. I wonder if I had an old menu because the only thing I remembered was it said Findlandia raspberry vodka. Not being a vodka expect I wonder what difference it would make? Anyone? Most of the rest sounded familiar though.

Oh, that's really disappointing. But thank you for checking, Tatania.

I checked but unless I missed it ... is there a recipe for the sour apple frozen drink from Boma?

TIA, and I'll promise to do my part next time I'm at WDW and request recipes.

There is a Sour Apple Chiller recipe on page 99 that is attributed to the WDW General Bar Menu. Perhaps it's the same as the one served at Boma...

And re: hummus...

Back in 2001 when Boma first opened we asked for a hummus recipe - either roasted red pepper or sun-dried tomato, I forget now - and they told us that it was a commercial product. They did send a "plain" hummus recipe though instead. It's different than one posted for Jiko.

HUMMUS
Boma
Yield: 20 servings

32 oz Chickpeas, canned, drained, and rinsed
5 Tbl Tahini, mix well
2 Tbl Garlic, roasted
10 each Lemons, juiced
1 tsp Garlic, fresh
Salt and Pepper

Place chickpeas in robot coupe. Puree. Add tahini, both garlics, and half the lemon juice. Mix. Adjust lemon juice and finish with salt and pepper.

Thanks for the general hummus recipe, piratesmate. I have the ingredients on hand so that's good. :)

The Boma sour apple drink I had was non alcoholic. It tasted almost like the sour Skittles, but with more sweetness.

Also, although I looked up and down and in every corner of the page, I can't find the apple vinaigrette from page 135. Well, I guess looking once more can't hurt. :)

Sambuca Shrimp
Portobello Italian Trattoria, Downtown Disney
Makes 1 serving

4 ea Shrimp (u-15) peeled, deveined with tail left on
1 Tbsp Sambuca (80 proof or higher)
2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
2 Tbsp thinly sliced garlic
4 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 ea red potatoes
1 lemon wedge
3 slices 1/2-in thick crusty bread
Salt and pepper to taste

Prepare a 6" cast iron skillet
Cut enough 1/8-in. thick slices of red potatoes to cover the bottom of your 6" cast iron skillet. Toss the potato slices with half the olive oil, garlic and parsley. Season to taste. Line the bottom of the skillet with the potatoes, overlapping slightly, bake until the potatoes are half cooked (10 min at 350F).

Prepare the dish:
Toss 4 shrimp with the remainder of the extra virgin olive oil, shaved garlic, chopped parsley. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Increase the temp of your oven to 475. Add shrimp to pre-cooked skillet and potatoes and place in oven for about 5 min. or until shrimp are cooked.
Place skillet on large oval plate along with 3 crostini's (crusty bread), and a ramekin of 1/2-oz of Sambuca along with a lemon wedge.
Take the oval platter right to the table. At the table, pour the Sambuca over the shrimp and, using a lighter, flame the shrimp (do not use more than 1 Tbsp. of Sambuca).
When the flame goes out, squeeze the lemon wedge over the shrimp and serve.
Tips: u-15 shrimp denotes the size (15 shrimp per pound).
Preheating the oven and skillet will prevent sticking.
Always serve with crusty bread to absorb the juices on the plate.
The skillet must be hot for the shrimp to flame so take you platter right from the oven to the table.
Always season as you go.
When flaming the shrimp use a long kitchen match or a long reach butane lighter. Use extreme caution when flaming the shrimp.
The potatoes may be cooked in the skillet ahead of time and stored under refrigeration until needed, up to one day prior to serving.

1 pint Red Cherry Tomato (cut in half)
1 pint Yellow Pear Tomatoes (cut in half)
2 cups Roasted Roma Tomatoes (roughly chopped)
4 Tbsp Shaved garlic
2 tsp Red Chili Flakes

Toss to combine and adjust seasoning. Serve in four warmed pasta bowls of family style on a platter. Garnish with fresh grated parmesan cheese as desired.

Tips: Always boil pasta in a large amount of salted water.
When preparing pasta dishes, starchy water from pasta pot may be used to adjust the consistency of final preparation.
*Guanciale is pork jowl that has been cured like bacon. If it’s not available pancetta or bacon may be used.
**Bucatini is a pasta which looks like spaghetti but has a hole running through it. Bucco means hole in Italian.

Tiramisu
Portobello Italian Trattoria, Downtown Disney

6 egg yolks
3 Tbsp Sugar
1 pound Mascarpone cheese
1-1/2 cups strong espresso, cooled
2 tsp Dark rum
24 Ladyfingers, packaged
1/2 cup Bittersweet chocolate shavings, for garnish

In a large bowl, using an electric mixer with whisk attachment, beat egg yolks and sugar until thick and pale, about 5 minutes. Add mascarpone cheese and beat until smooth.
Add 1 tablespoon of espresso and mix until thoroughly combined. In a small shallow dish, add remaining espresso and rum. Dip each ladyfinger into espresso for only 5 seconds. Letting the ladyfingers soak too long will cause them to fall apart. Place the soaked ladyfinger on the bottom of a 13x9 inch baking dish, breaking them in half, if necessary, in order to fit the bottom.
Spread 1/2 of the mascarpone mixture evenly over the ladyfingers. Arrange another layer of soaked ladyfingers and top with remaining mascarpone mixture. Cover Tiramisu with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, up to 8 hours.
Before serving, sprinkle with chocolate shavings.

4 tbsp sugar
3 tsp mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 tsp freshly grated orange peel
½ tsp vanilla extract

1. Place dark chocolate in the top of a double boiler over gently boiling water. Stir chocolate until completely melted and remove from heat.
2. Dip each cannoli into the chocolate, completely coating each shell, set aside on a wire rack.

Yukon Potato Stack with Gruyére and Parmesan Cheeses
Steakhouse 55, Disneyland Hotel, (Chef Jason Martin)

5 lb. Yukon gold potatoes
8 oz. Parmesan cheese, shredded
8 oz. Gruyere cheese, shredded
1 tsp. olive oil
4 tbs. shallots (approximately 4), minced
2 tbs. fresh garlic (approximately 4-5 large cloves), minced
3 cups heavy cream
1 tbs. kosher salt
To taste: freshly ground black pepper

Preheat oven to 300˚F.
Peel and slice potatoes to about 1/16 inch thick. (Use a mandoline or food slicer to slice potatoes uniformly. Do not rinse or hold potatoes in water because the starch will be washed away). Set aside.
Mix shredded cheeses together and reserve 1/3 cup to top the potato stack. Set aside. Heat a heavy-bottomed stock pot over medium heat. Add olive oil to pan and coat the bottom. Add chopped shallots and cook for 5 minutes, stirring continuously. Add garlic and continue to sauté until garlic starts to brown. Add the cream and potatoes to the pot. Add the salt & pepper.
Stir to coat the potatoes and reduce the cream until it starts to thicken, about 10-15 minutes. Add cheese to the pot and continue cooking over medium heat until cheese melts. Adjust the salt and pepper to taste.
Place a piece of parchment paper on the bottom of a 13-inch by9-inch pan. Spray with nonstick pan spray. Add potato mix to the pan, making sure that the potatoes lay flat and that there are no gaps. Spread the reserved cheese over the top in an even layer. Cover the baking pan with plastic wrap first and then foil. Bake in preheated oven for two hours. Check the potatoes by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it goes in without any give, it is done. If there is still give, cover and return to the oven, checking every 10-15 minutes.

SPINACH TOSTADAS WITH SHRIMP AND POTATOES
Disney’s California Food & Wine Festival 2009, Culinary demonstration by Guy Fieri (winner of season 2 of The Next Food Network Star)
Yield: 12 tostadas

For the Tostadas
2 - 10 ounce package frozen spinach, thawed
1 Tablespoon roasted red bell pepper, fine dice (optional -can use fresh)
1 teaspoon Jalapeno OR Serrano pepper, fine dice
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 large eggs
1/3 Cup Panko bread crumbs, unseasoned
1/3 Cup parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon black pepper
1⁄2 teaspoon salt
1⁄4 teaspoon cayenne
3 Tablespoons EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil)

Preheat oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit. Press all of the liquid out of the spinach. Start with pressing in a colander, then roll in double layer paper towels, press and squeeze all of the liquid out. Once that is done, chop the spinach and place in a medium bowl with the rest of the ingredients, except the EVOO. The mixture should be very well combined and will be moist, but not wet.
Dividing the mixture into 6 equal portions, form the spinach mixture into flat patties, about 3” in diameter and 1⁄4” thick. Can flatten using saran wrap.
In a large non stick sauté pan over medium high heat, heat the oil. When hot, add the spinach tostadas into the pan, cook about 2 minutes, turn and cook the other side. They will be slightly browned. Put them on a paper towel lined baking sheet, sprinkle with a pinch of salt and hold in warm oven.

For the topping
1⁄2 pound shrimp, cleaned, cut into 1⁄2” pieces
1 Tablespoon shallot, fine dice
1 tsp. chopped garlic
3 Roma tomatoes, diced
2 potatoes, cooked in boiling water until just fork tender, then cut in 1⁄2” dice
2 Tablespoon capers
1⁄4 Cup chicken stock
1 Tablespoon Italian parsley
2 Tablespoons Feta cheese, grated with box grater
2 Tablespoons Sour cream
1⁄2 teaspoon lime zest
1 teaspoon Pepper

In a small bowl combine the sour cream and lime zest and set aside, grated the feta and set aside.
In the same pan the spinach tostadas were cooked in, reheat to medium high, using the remainder of the oil left in pan. When oil is hot, add in the shallot and cook until translucent. Add in the tomatoes, garlic, potatoes and capers, stir to combine, add in the shrimp and stock and cook until shrimp are done. Season with the pepper and parsley, remove from heat.

Remove the spinach tostadas from the oven, put on a serving platter, pile some the shrimp mixture on each tostada, sprinkle with feta, then top with a small dollop of the sour cream. Serve immediately.
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 10 minutes

I didn't think to try to get the recipes of the two things I fell in love with at the F&W festival this year. Does anyone have the recipes for the lamb with red wine sauce from Melbourne or the Crawfish Etouffee from this year? I didn't try it last year and the recipe from last year doesn't look like what was in it this year. Can anyone help or point me in the direction to get the recipes? I just LOVED both and would love to recreate them at home. THANKS SO MUCH!

I didn't try it last year and the recipe from last year doesn't look like what was in it this year. Can anyone help or point me in the direction to get the recipes? I just LOVED both and would love to recreate them at home. THANKS SO MUCH!

Well, the recipe in this years book for the Crawfish Etouffee is pretty well the same as the one page 173 of this thread except for the following:
2 generous TBSP of tomato paste instead of 1
2 thin slices lemon insead of 2 lemons, thinly sliced
1 stick butter (no margerine)
1 TBSP freshly chopped garlic gets added in Step 4 (wasn't specified in ingrediant list)

The method had a few changes as well and I edited the recipe on page 173 to reflect this. The version in the 2009 cookbook seems far more accurate and carefully written.

Grilled Lamb Chops with Red Wine Sauce
Melbourne, Australia, Epcot Food and Wine Festival 2009
Serves 4

Lamb Chops
3/4 cup olive oil
1 tbsp lime zest
2 tbsp lime juice
1 tbsp finely chopped garlic
1/4 cup finely chopped mint
1/2 tsp freshly chopped pepper
1/2 tsp salt
8 Australian lamb chops

Red Wine Sauce
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 cup thinly sliced onion
1 tbsp finely chopped garlic
Coarse S and P to taste
3 cups Shiraz wine

1. Combine olive oil, lime zest, lime juice, garlic, mint, salt and pepper in a shallow dish large enough to place the lamb chops in one layer. Coat both sides of the chops in the marinade and leave for two hours at room temperature or up to 24 hours refrigerated.
2. For the sauce, melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add onions and garlic and sauté for 8 to 10 minutes, or until golden. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Stir in wine and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for at least one hour, or until mixture thickens and reduces to approximately 1 cup. The glacier be the consistency of syrup.
4. Grill the chops for 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until desired doneness.
5. To serve, allow 2 chops per person, drizzled with wine sauce.
Note: if you prefer, you can strain the glaze before serving. The flourish of Australia's delicate, peach colored Murray River salt brings out the flavors. Pair with Penfolds Koonunga Hill Shiraz-Cabernet.

The Boma sour apple drink I had was non alcoholic. It tasted almost like the sour Skittles, but with more sweetness.

Also, although I looked up and down and in every corner of the page, I can't find the apple vinaigrette from page 135. Well, I guess looking once more can't hurt. :)

I've added the sour apple drink to our request page for you. Have you tried contacting them directly? Boma is usually really good about getting back to you with recipes. Please share if/when you get it! ;)

And I'm sorry about the typo...the apple vinaigrette recipe is on page 136. It's weird...it was correct in the "by restaurant" listing, just not the "by course" listing. I usually type it once & copy from one to the other. Please feel free to let me know when you find errors like this & I'll do my best to find & correct it.

And although similar, yours does have some differences & people often comment on things seeming "not quite right" in the recipes as posted. That's why there's an index for the tips & tweaks. ;)

And just to be on the safe side...I wasn't being critical of post either.

Orecchiette with Tomatoes, Basil and Cacioricotta Cheese
The Puglia Kitchen, Italy, Epcot Food and Wine Festival 2009Servings: 4

3 1/2 cups red San Marzano or cherry tomatoes
2 ounces sliced white onions
1 garlic clove, crushed
1/2 bunch of basil
2 1/2 tablespoons of Puglia EVOO
1 1/4 cup orecchiette (recipe follows or use commercial kind)
3/4 cup of cacioricotta, typical Apulian cheese

Cut the tomatoes into quarters and put into a saucepan, add the sliced onions, the crushed garlic clove, 1/2 of basil, the extra virgin olive oil and cook on a moderate heat for about 30 minutes. Pass the sauce through a vegetable sieve and keep it hot. Serve with cacioricotta cheese and basil with the orecchiette.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn316/AngelaSchneider_photo/Disney%20World%202009/EpcotFestival_Puglia2.jpg

Orecchiette
3 cups Semolina flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup water, lukewarm

Combine flour and salt on a work surface, making a mound with a well in the center. Add water, a few tablespoons at a time, working it into the flour until absorbed. Stop before it becomes too stiff and dry. Knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic; approximately 20 minutes. Break off a piece about the size of a lemon and cover the rest of the dough.
Roll the dough on your work surface into long pencils and cut into small cubes, not larger than your thumbnail. Roll each small piece of dough onto a butter knife and push it in. Once it's rolled onto the knife roll it the opposite way (like you are opening it) with your thumb. This should give you something that looks like a empty half sphere. The edges should be thicker than the middle.
Place finished orecchiette on a cookie sheet lightly floured with semolina. Allow to dry for about an hour before cooking. This pasta can be dried and stored for a long time as it does not contain egg products. In order to store, it will need to be completely air dried.
To prepare the pasta, place orecchiette in rapidly salted boiling water and cook until al dente.

Ok this was asked on page 179 but I never say an answer. Does anyone know how to make Boma's Corn and Spinach Pudding?

TIA

On this last visit, I went to the Boma breakfast and handed the waitress the list of requests we had from Boma. Now, the standard response these days is for the waiter to take your e-mail address, tell you that the Chef will get back to you, and then you never hear from them again.

It's understandable, because as my sister told me (she's worked in large kitchens like the Hyatt Regency and Four Seasons) - chefs hated getting recipe requests from customers because they either do not use an exact recipe, or it's in such large quantities and uses professional equipment so it would be essentially useless for the home cook. Often, they don't give you the exact recipe anyway because it's their professional secret. Some Disney restaurants still have printed cards or copies of the recipes they use, but more often than not, they don't. By taking your e-mail and promising to get back to you, it takes immediate care of the request and they know Guest Relations will take care of it after that.

At Boma, however, I had a different response because the waitress says they now have all the recipes online. She told me to go to the Animal Kingdom Lodge website and then to /recipes or something like that. I didn't write down the URL because it all sounded too far-fetched to me. The waitress at Jiko confirmed it when she told me that the chefs at AKL would never openly reveal all their recipes on the website so that anybody else could copy them.

The best advice for anybody wanting a recipe is to write to Guest Relations or call Boma Chefs Team at (407) 938-4808 and ask who best to contact.

Thanks to Tatiana, I sent in a request for a new version of the chimichurri served at Argentina. There is a recipe on the boards - but it was definitely incorrect. Well, it took a couple of weeks to get a response, but I got one! She even sent along a couple of other recipes for our files. Here goes:

Chimichurri:

1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 cup fresh Italian parsley
1 teaspoon finely chopped parsley
2 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
1/2 teaspoon saffron threads, dissolved in 1 tablespoon water
1/2 cup olive oil

Ingredients for Cake:
6 each eggs
¾ cup castor sugar
1 cup self-rising flour
1/3 cup corn flour
1/3 cup hot water
3 teaspoons butter, melted

Method of Preparation for Cake:


Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and beat until thick and creamy.
Gradually add the sugar and beat well until the sugar has dissolved.
In a large bowl, mix the self-rising flour with the corn flour.
Add the butter to the hot water.
Add the flour mixture to the beaten eggs and stir well. Then add the hot water mixture and combine well.
Pour the batter in a square cake pan that has been well greased.
Bake the cake at 350° for 35 minutes. Remove from pan and cool on a wire rack.

Ingredients for Icing:
4 cups powdered sugar, sifted
1/3 cup cocoa
3 teaspoon butter, melted
½ cup milk, hot
3 cups desiccated coconut


Method of Preparation for Icing:

Mix the powdered sugar and cocoa together in a large bowl.

Rum Raisin Gugelhopf
Dessert & Champagne Kiosk

Ingredients for Cake:
1 cup golden raisins
1 ¼ cup Stroh rum or dark rum, to cover raisins
Melted unsalted butter for the pan
½ cup slivered almonds
1 ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened (2 ½ sticks)
2 cups confectioners’ sugar
½ cup cornstarch
1 tablespoon Stroh rum or dark rum
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ each lemon – grated zest
7 each large egg yolks
6 each large egg whites
Pinch of salt
¾ cup sugar
2 ½ cup all-purpose flour


Method of preparation:

In a small dish, place raisins and rum and cover. Let the raisins soak overnight.
Preheat the oven to 325°F. Brush the inside of a 6 cup tube or bundt pan with melted butter. Sprinkle with slivered almonds.
In a large bowl, cream the butter with confectioner’s sugar and cornstarch until pale and cream, 4 to 5 minutes, using the paddle attachment.
Add the rum, vanilla extract and lemon zest. Beat in the egg yolks one at a time.
Place the egg whites in a clean bowl and beat until foamy using the whisk on your electric mixer. Add the salt and gradually pour in the sugar, until soft peaks form.
Drain the raisins. Using a rubber spatula, fold the flour into the butter and egg yolk mixture, in three additions. Gently fold in the egg whites, working slowly to avoid deflating them. Fold in the raisins.
Pour the batter into the prepared mold, using a rubber spatula to sweep the batter to the edges, so that the cake looks slightly concave (this will prevent it from rising too much in the center). Bake until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean and dry, 60 to 70 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack before unmolding.

Here are some from Vienna, Austria.

8. Add sour cream, whisking constantly for 1 to 2 minutes until well blended. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve in warm bowls.

Goulash mit Servietten Knoedel (Paprika Beef Stew with Bacon Dumplings)
Vienna, Austria, Epcot Food and Wine Festival 2009
Serves 4 - 6

Goulash
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 cups finely diced onion
1 green bell pepper, ribs removed, sliced into thin strips
4 garlic cloves, finely minced
2 pounds beef stew
Coarse salt, freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons Hungarian paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon caraway seeds
2 bay leaves
1 (28 ounce) can tomatoes, crushed by hand
Lemon zest from two lemons

Bacon Dumplings
1 (16 oz) loaf unsliced soft white bread
3 slices bacon
3/4 cup chopped white onion
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup heavy cream
Salt, freshly ground black pepper, to taste
5 eggs
1 tablespoon chopped chives
Pinch nutmeg

For Goulash:
1. Heat the oil in a heavy saucepan. Sauté the onions and bell pepper in the oil until translucent but not browned, stirring occasionally. Stir in garlic.
2. Stir in the beef and season with salt and pepper. As beef cooks, add the paprika, cayenne pepper, caraway seeds, and bay leaves. Cover and cook over low heat for 10 to 15 minutes.
3. Stir in tomatoes and return to a simmer; cook, stirring occasionally, until meat is tender, about 1 hour. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
4. Remove the bay leaves; stir in lemon zest just before serving.

For Bacon Dumplings:
1. Slice bread into 12 slices, then trim crust and dice slices into 1 inch cubes. Set aside.
2. Fry bacon until crisp in a skillet over medium heat. Remove from the skillet and sauté celery and onions in the rendered bacon fat. Crumble bacon strips and set aside.
3. Add heavy cream to the skillet, stirring to loosen any browned bits on the bottom. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Stir in crumble bacon and remove from heat.
4. Whisk eggs in a bowl large enough to hold the bread cubes. Stir in the warm cream, then fold in bread cubes and chives.
5. With your hands, form an oblong roll that will fit in a pan. Wrap in plastic wrap, then seal in aluminum foil. Poach, covered, in simmering water for 45 minutes.
6. Remove from water, unwrap and cool. To serve, slice and sauté in butter. Top with goulash.

Note: look for paprika specifically labeled "Hungarian, " as it delivers vibrant color and rich flavors to this dish.
My Note: My mother has been making these kind of dumplings her entire life (they are my favorite kind), and she has never wrapped them in plastic wrap and aluminum foil before cooking. They didn't even have those kind of things in the tiny German farming village she grew up and where she learned to make proper dumplings by watching her grandmother. A German girl was not considered a good wife unless she knew how to make proper dumplings. A Serviette is a napkin and the "oblong" shape is wraped in a type of linen napkin and boiled. You could also use cheesecloth or just make round balls and drop them into boiling water. It is NEVER wrapped in plastic *shudder*.


Spaetzle Gratin
Germany Pavilion, Chef Artur Bukalo, Epcot 2009 Food and Wine Festival

Spaetzle Gratin
2 tablespoons butter
¼ cup diced onions
¼ cup diced ham
1-cup heavy cream
1-cup milk
¾ cup whole eggs
2 cups Spaetzle (home made or purchased)
¼ cup Gruyere cheese
½ cup or more Cheddar cheese for topping
Salt and pepper to taste

Ingredients for the Spaetzle noodles:
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 ¾ teaspoons salt
1 ¼ cups whole milk
3 large eggs
½ cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons olive oil
Spaetzle machine

Prepare the Spaetzle noodles first. To make the pasta, first bring a pot of salted water to a boil and keep at a bare simmer. Fill another large bowl with very cold water and set aside.
http://media1.www.baynews9.com/images/news/2009/10/13/creamsauce.jpg

Whisk together flour and 1-teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Whisk together milk, eggs, and heavy cream in another bowl, then whisk into flour until batter is smooth.
In the pot with simmering water, push the pasta through the Spaetzle machine. You could also use a colander with larger holes to create the noodle strands. When they start floating to the surface after about a minute, transfer the noodles to the bowl of cold water.
Toss the drained Spaetzle with a little oil. You can find Spaetzle at a German Specialty store if you prefer to purchase them.

http://media1.www.baynews9.com/images/news/2009/10/13/sauteonionsham.jpg
For the sauce, start by adding butter to a sauté pan. Sauté diced onions and ham in butter. In a separate bowl, mix heavy cream, milk and whole eggs. That is going to help congeal the pasta together and give the dish its binding and great flavor.
Add the sautéed ham and onions and Gruyere cheese to the Spaetzle. Add the cream-milk-eggs liquid inside the casserole dish and mix together. Don't forget to add salt and pepper to taste.
The last step is to add extra aged cheddar cheese over the top of the mixed Spaetzle.
Put in a 350-degree oven and bake for about 15 minutes.

And the green papaya salad was another one of our favs and I will definitely be trying to replicate that flavor.

It was France. The mashed potatoes - it'll depend on how big they are etc. I always use medium sized potatoes, one per person and one for the pot. We usually have leftovers though.

Moqueca de Camarão
(Shrimp Stew with Coconut Milk)
Rio de Janeiro, Epcot International Food & Wine Festival 2009
Serves 4 to 6

36 large shrimp, peeled and de-veined
6 tablespoons chopped cilantro leaves, divided
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
6 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 teaspoon coarse salt
2 medium yellow onions, chopped, divided
1 (13.5-ounce) can coconut milk
1⁄4 cup extra virgin olive oil
4 plum tomatoes, chopped
2 tablespoons butter
4 cups cooked long-grain white rice


Place shrimp in wide shallow dish. Stir together 2 tablespoons cilantro, lime juice, garlic and salt in a small bowl and pour over shrimp. Turn shrimp to coat and marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes.

Purée half of the chopped onions and the coconut milk in a blender; set aside.

Heat oil in a large deep skillet over medium heat. Add remaining chopped onions and cook until translucent, 5 to 6 minutes. Add tomatoes and 2 tablespoons cilantro, stirring occasionally until tomatoes are soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in coconut milk purée and bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes or until sauce is slightly thickened. Stir in butter.

Add shrimp, pouring any remaining marinade in the skillet. Stir in remaining cilantro. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium, cover and cook for 5 minutes or just until shrimp turn pink. To serve, spoon over a little hot rice to soak up the delicious broth.

The shrimp stew sounds awesome. Has anyone had this? 1 cup of coconut milk doesn't seem to make a stew for 4 - 6 people though. Does it seem like it's missing anything to those of you who have had it?

It was excellent when I ate it- I wouldn't be able to even guess if the recipe is missing something. Since you serve it over rice on a plate rather than in a bowl- it is more of a sauce over the rice and I would guess that the amount of milk compared to the other ingredients is right for serving it in that way- it is not a traditional American style stew.

Does anyone have the recipe for the 'Category 5' Cocktail at T-Rex in DTD? We really enjoyed this and can't find it anywhere.

Just wanted to point out to our recipe collectors that cocktail recipes are the easiest recipes of all to get at the source. Most bartenders are happy to recite the ingredient list to you, so if you like a cocktail it would be terrific if you could ask at the restaurant and then post the recipe here. T-Rex is not a Disney restaurant, so only somebody asking in person will get this recipe.

Did anyone happen to get the recipe for the Red Snapper Escabeche? It was served at the Barcelona, Spain kiosk.

Red Snapper in Escabeche
Barcelona, Spain, Epcot Food and Wine Festival 2009
Serves 4

2 pounds red snapper fillets

1 small garlic clove, thinly sliced
Pinch chili flakes
1 bay leaf
1 stalk celery
1/2 sweet red pepper, julienned
1/2 sweet yellow pepper, julienned
1 carrot, julienned
1/2 cup sliced Spanish olives
1 tablespoon capers with brine
1/2 cup white vinegar
1/4 cup sherry vinegar
1 tablespoon olive brine
1/2 cup chicken stock
1 teaspoon sugar
Coarse salt, to taste

1. Season the snapper fillet with salt and pepper. Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the snapper until lightly browned on both sides, about 3 to 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels and put the fish into a shallow glass dish.
2. Drain oil from the skillet, return it to medium heat and add remaining olive oil. Add the onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic, chili flakes and bay leaf.
3. Add celery, red and yellow peppers and carrots and cook another 2minutes. Stir in olives and capers.
4. Stir in the white vinegar, Sherry vinegar and olive brine.
5. Add chicken stock, sugar and salt and bring to a boil.
6. Spoon vegetables over snapper, then add vinegar sauce. Serve hot or cool to room temperature and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.



Crema Catalana
Barcelona, Spain, Epcot Food and Wine Festival 2009
Serves 4

2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 1/2 cups whole milk, divided
2 egg yolks
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1 teaspoon grated orange peel
7 tablespoons granulated sugar, divided

1. Whisk cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of milk in a small mixing bowl until cornstarch is completely dissolved.
2. Whisk in egg yolks, lemon peel and orange peel. Set aside.
3. Stir together remaining milk and 6 tablespoons of sugar in a heavy saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly over high heat for 2 to 3 minutes, or until mixture begins to boil. Whisk in cornstarch mixture and continue stirring for 3 to 5 minutes, or until mixture starts to thicken and begins to bubble.
4. Pour into 6-ounce ramekins, dividing equally. Allow mixture to cool, then chill overnight in refrigerator.
5. Preheat broiler. Sprinkle ramekins with remaining tablespoon of sugar.
6. Arrange ramekins on baking sheet and broil for 2 to 3 minutes, or until sugar bubbles and turns golden brown.(You will need to rotate the baking sheet a few times to ensure even browning.)

Note: you can use a hand-held kitchen torch instead of the broiler the caramelize the sugar topping.

But I am wondering if anyone has a recipe to the California Grill 3 cheese flatbread with sun dried tomatoes? I looked at other websites and this one is no where to be found so I was just curious if anyone has it :) Thanks

Thanks to Tatiana, I sent in a request for a new version of the chimichurri served at Argentina. There is a recipe on the boards - but it was definitely incorrect. Well, it took a couple of weeks to get a response, but I got one! She even sent along a couple of other recipes for our files. <snip>
I've already added these to the index, but just for clarification...were all of those from the '09 F&W Festival? I like to keep them marked appropriately in the index. Thanks

Does anyone have the recipe for the potato soup at Biergarten? I love that stuff, and I had the recipe, but can't find it!!!! :thanks:

TROPICAL FRUIT CREME BRULEE
Citricos, GRAND FLORIDIAN RESORT & SPA
Yield – 10 -12 servings – depending on size of dish

1 ¼ cup Heavy cream
2 Cups Tropical Fruit Puree
2 Cups Egg yolks
10 Oz Sugar


Set oven to 300 degrees. Place cream, tropical fruit puree and sugar into kettle. Bring temperature up to 160°. Add egg yolks to cream mixture while whisking continuously. Pour into bowls right away before mixture cools. Place 2 quarts of HOT water into the pans holding bowl after the bowl are full. Place into oven preset to 300°. – bake approximately 45 minutes. After 45 minutes check to see if firm – if firm remove from oven and slowly cool. Then chill. Before serving sprinkle with sugar and torch with appropriate gas torch

NOTE***It is important to get the cream and milk temperature as hot as possible without cooking the yolks when tempering.

NOTE**** Tropical fruit puree may not be readily available at your local supermarket. The fruit puree we use comes from Boiron, in France, and contains passion fruit, mango, pineapple, and lime in equal parts.

Does anyone have a current recipe for the Oreo Bon Bons at Cape May Cafe?? We were there in late October, and the waiter gave our e-mail info to the chef/staff, who then nicely sent me an e-mail w/ the recipe..... that I somehow deleted. :confused3

I've looked it up, and have found it on here as well as other sites... and all the recipes are the same.

The problem?? It doesn't match what we ate!!

Our oreo bon bons were dusted in some kind of cocoa powder, with a little flower of icing on top, not dipped in a ganache.

If anyone has this most recent recipe, I would greatly appreciate it... I'd like to make them over Thanksgiving!!

Thanks!

One good reason to post your Disney recipes here (if they are not already listed in the index), is because you have access to them should you lose them, accidently delete them from your computer, or lose them in a computer meltdown. We get people posting here quite frequently looking for "lost" recipes - which would be available if they had been posted and shared initially. My recipe collection is in a Word doc. but when I post them here, I know I can always come back and retrieve the recipes in case the document gets wiped out.

2 tsp Butter
Salt, to taste.
White ground Pepper, to taste
¼ cup Chives, chopped for garnish

Sauté the onions and leeks with the butter in a medium size pot. Then add the diced potatoes and cover with chicken stock. Cook until the potatoes are soft. Use hand blender and blend the soup till smooth, being careful as it will be hot. Stir in the heavy cream. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Just before serving garnish with the chopped chives and sautéed sliced leeks.

Spread raspberry jam on top of the cake mixture. With the remainder of the mixture, use a pastry bag and pipe lattice design across the pan. Bake at 325°F for approximately 40 minutes, or until firm to touch. Let the cake stand for 10 minutes, then carefully flip cake out of the pan. Cool overnight.

RASPBERRY FLORENTINE COOKIE
Biergarten Restaurant, EPCOT WALT DISNEY WORLD
Serves: 8 people

1 sheet (24 x 16 x ½ inches) Cookie dough (see below)
2 cups Raspberry jam
1½ cup Almond slices, blanched

Lay short cookie dough on sheet tray. Smear with jam (apricot, raspberry, or jam of your choice). Sprinkle with almonds. Bake at 375 degrees for 15-18 minutes. When cooled, cut into pieces.

*Short dough is a simple recipe that has many uses. The kitchen uses it to create cookies of different flavor or line tart pans.

Press-In Pan Cookie Dough
• 2 cups a.p.flour
• ½ t table salt
• ½ t baking powder
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1.2 tsp. vanilla

Whisk together in a bowl and set aside; flour, baking powder, salt.
Beat together butter and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes in a standing mixer (preferably fitted with paddle attachment) or 6 with a handheld.
Beat in egg and vanilla. Reduce speed to low, then add flour mixture and mix until just combined - not a second longer.
Place the dough on a paper lined sheet pan and press the dough out as flat as possible so it can cool quickly. Cover in plastic wrap refrigerate from 30 minutes - 4 hours, so it is firm.
Roll out the dough into a rectange sheet - 3 mm thick. Put on 24 x 16 x ½ sheet.

My note: The dough recipe makes enough to spread into a jelly roll pan - so about half the sheet size. When the edges where done the middle is still very soft, so may need to keep it in longer. Tastes very good.

Gingerbread Cookies
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa
Makes 36 cookies

2 sticks softened butter
2 1/2 cups confectioner’s sugar, sifted
2 eggs
1 1/4 teaspoon baking powder

3 2/3 cups all purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 1/4 teaspoons ground coriander
2 teaspoons ground star anise
1 teaspoon ground fennel
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground clove
1/4 teaspoon ground mace

Ingredients for decorations optional
1/4 cup milk
1 cup colored sugar granules

Directions
1. Cream the butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl until smooth using an electric mixer. Add the eggs and mix until combined.
2. Sift all the remaining dry ingredients in a separate large mixing bowl and mix well. With the mixer on low, slowly add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture until a dough forms
3. Remove dough from the bowl and wrap in plastic wrap; place in refrigerator until firm, two to four hours.
4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease cookie sheets.
5. Remove dough from refrigerator and allow dough to sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes, until pliable. Divide dough in half and place on floured work surface. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out until about 1/8 inch thick. While rolling, flour the work surface and rolling pin as needed.
6. Cut out desired cookie shapes with cookie cutters. Transfer cookies to a greased cookie sheet, placing them 1 inch apart.
7. Lightly brush cookies with milk and sprinkle with sugar granules as desired.
8. Bake until firm and edges begin to darken, 10-14 minutes. Allow cookies to cool on the cookie sheet for a minute, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

Cook’s notes:
You can find star anise in the ethnic aisle in your local grocery store. To get the best flavor from this spice, you will need to grind the whole star anise pod. For the neatest edges, dip your cookie cutters in flour before cutting out each cookie.

Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
Gasparilla Grill, Disney's Grand Floridian Resort, WDW
1 dozen cookies

3/4 cup raisins
2 tablespoons rum
1 stick of butter, softened
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon molasses
1 1/4 cup pastry flour
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup granola cereal without raisins
3/4 cup oatmeal

Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease two cookie sheets. Soak raisins and rum and a shallow bowl; set aside. Cream butter, salt and both sugars with an electric mixer on medium speed. Add the egg and mix thoroughly. Blend in molasses. Add both flours, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, granola, and oatmeal and mix thoroughly. Fold in rum-soaked raisins. Drop batter by heaping tablespoons onto cookie sheet, leaving 2 inches between rounds. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until they are a light golden brown.

Note: These crunchy, trans-fat-free cookies are addictive - the secret ingredients are raisins soaked in the little rum, a dollop of thick dark molasses and crisp granola.

Please note: The index thread had to be re-ordered due to the sheer number of recipes we have included there. They no longer fit into 2 posts for each list. The index "by course" is still first - posts 1 through 3. The "by restaurant" index is no longer last...the reviews/tips/tweaks index now occupies that spot. ...just so you know in case you're directing people to particular areas of the index.

And thanks to everyone who continues to post the recipes they've collected! :thumbsup2 We all appreciate it! :teeth:

So I don't know if this counts as a Disney recipe, but it's what I have to share. It's from Andrew Zimmern, he demonstrated making this dish at the Epcot F&W Festival. I thought it was really wonderful, but I haven't tried making it myself yet.

http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h70/cbg1027/Nov%20Disney/DSCN0286.jpg

He said that almost any type of protein works well with this dish - chicken, pork, fish, shellfish, tofu, etc. The only thing he advised against making it with is beef.

It was paired with Meeker FroZin wine, and I thought they really went well together.

Sweet and Sour Bangkok Style Quail with Red Chiles

Makes 6 servings

Ingredients:
12 boneless whole whole quail
2 tsp salt
1 tbsp turmeric
2 tsp cinnamon
10 dried whole California or Mexican chiles (arbols or other long red thin chiles)
5 fresh red Thai chiles or 1 scotch bonnet/habanero chile
6 minced shallots
4 minced garlic cloves
4 stalks lemongrass, cleaned, trimmed, and minced
3 tbsp peanut oil
1 cup ketchup
2/3 cup white vinegar
5 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp salt
1 cup diced carrots, blanched and cooled
1 cup of cooked peas (frozen are fine)
40 fresh mint leaves

Method:
1. Toss the quail with the salt, turmeric, and cinnamon. Set aside.
2. Cut off and discard the chile stems and shake out the seeds.
3. Place the dried chiles in to a cup of boiling water to refresh for 10 minutes.
4. Drain and puree them with the fresh chiles, shallots, garlic, and lemon grass in a blender or food processor. Set aside.
5. Heat the peanut oil in a very large skillet or wok over high heat. Brown the quail and set aside.
6. Add the chile mixture to the pan and cook for 4 minutes until fragrant and mahogany colored. Add the quail back to the pan and cook, tossing, until they are all cooked thoroughly.
7. Stir in the ketchup, vinegar, remaining salt, and sugar.
8. Cook for several more minutes after the mixture has reached a boil in order to heat through and consolidate the flavors. Add the vegetables and mint towards the very end.
9. Toss and serve immediately with a side of steamed Thai sticky rice served at room temperature.

If you would like a few tips for the dish, here is a 3.5 minute video clip of Andrew Zimmern cooking it at the demo - http://s61.photobucket.com/albums/h70/cbg1027/Nov%20Disney/?action=view&current=DSCN0284.flv

Do you think the strawberry tart recipe would still work if I made the crust in a cupcake tin instead of using the flan ring? The ring is way too expensive for a poor college student!

Moqueca de Camarão (Shrimp Stew with Coconut Milk)

Just wanted to say that I think the recipe book version of this dish is better than what I had at Epcot. First off, there's no ridiculous popcorn garnish. The big complaint about this dish was that you couldn't taste the lime, so I used a whole lime (4 TBSP), and this time you could taste it. I also left out the butter (in the last step), because one doesn't need those calories - and the dish was delicious.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn316/AngelaSchneider_photo/Food/AppleCrumbleNapaRose.jpg
This dessert has a lot of steps but it's probably the best apple crisp I've had in a long time. The Biscuit crust was very rich and a little thick - so I would reduce it next time.

Apple Crisp
Napa Rose, Disney's Grand California Resort, DL
Serves 12

Apple Filling
6 Fuji Apples
1/2 cup butter, cut into small pieces
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 cup lemon juice
4 tablespoons apple brandy or brandy

Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. Melt butter and sugar in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add apples and cook for two minutes.
Combine cornstarch and lemon juice in a small bowl, then stir thoroughly and to apple mixture. Continue to cook over medium heat until liquid thickens and apples are tender. Stir in brandy. Remove from heat; cool completely.

Crumble Topping
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup brown sugar, divided
1/2 cup granulated sugar, divided
6 tablespoons butter, divided
1/2 cup oats
3/4 cup pecans, chopped
3/4 cup walnuts, chopped
1/4 cup shredded coconut

Pre-heat oven to 350°F. Combine flour, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 2 tablespoons butter in a food processor, grinding until uniform. Combine remaining brown sugar and granulated sugar, oats, pecans, walnuts, and coconut in a large mixing bowl. Melt remaining 4 tablespoons butter and add to dry it mix. Stir in flour mixture. Pour onto an ungreased baking sheet and bake about 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Set aside.

Biscuit Crust
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 vanilla bean, cut in half lengthwise, seeds scraped out, or 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup cold butter, cut into small pieces
1 cup heavy cream

Combine flour, salt, baking powder, sugar, vanilla, and butter in an electric mixer with a paddle attachment. Mix well. Add cream, mixing just until ingredients are combined. Do not over mix. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours, until firm. Preheat oven to 350°F. On a floured surface, roll out dough to about 1/4 inch thickness. Press evenly into the bottom of an ungreased 13 X 9 X 2-inch baking pan. Bake about 15 minutes, or until golden brown.

Caramel Syrup
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup +2 tablespoons water

Pour sugar evenly into the bottom of a small saucepan over high heat. When sugar begins to melt, stirred gently with a spoon, and reduce heat to medium. When sugar turns dark amber and begins to smoke slightly, carefully add water. Stir over medium heat until sugar is completely dissolved, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat (syrup will thicken as it cools).

To serve: Preheat oven to 350°F. Pour cooled apple filling over already-baked biscuit base. Spread the crumble topping over apples. Bake for 5 minutes, just to warm through. Cut into 12 squares and drizzle with caramel syrup. Serve with Vanilla ice cream. (optional)

These 2 recipes are from oybolshoi who transcribed them in her foodie thread.

Duncannon Seafood Chowder
Kevin Dundon (Raglan Road) Culinary Demonstration; Epcot F&W Festival 2009

2 oz butter
1 small onion, diced
1 leek, diced
1 carrot, diced
1 potato, cubed
2 oz smoked salmon slices, cut julienne
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 cups fennel scented fish or vegetable stock or water
8 oz mixed fresh filets cut bite size (i.e. - haddock, cod, hake, salmon)
6 oz shrimp, large peeled and deveined
6 oz mussels, scrubbed cleaned
1 tblsp fresh parsley, chopped
1 cup heavy cream
salt and fresh ground pepper

Heat a large pan over medium heat. Add the butter and when it foams, add in the onions, leeks, carrot, potato and smoked salmon. Saute for 2-3 minutes until softened. Pour the wine into the pan, bring to a boil and reduce by half. Add in the stock or water and bring to a simmer, then add the fresh fish and shellfish. Return the pan to a simmer and add the cream and 1/2 the parsley, and season with salt/pepper. Cover with a lid and simmer gently for another 2-3 minutes until the fish and shrimp are tender, and all of the mussels have opened (discard any that do not). Use remaining parsley to garnish bowls after plating.



Classic Sherry Trifle

Jam Swiss Roll:
4 eggs
1/2 cup sugar, plus extra for dusting
2/3 cup self rising flour, sifted
3 tblsp rasberry jam
1/2 cup sherry

Preheat oven to 350. Line a 13x9 baking tin with parchment paper and grease. In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs with sugar until very light and fluffy. The whisk should leave a figure eight on the surface when lifted out. Gently fold in the sifted flour with a metal spoon or rubber spatula. Be very gentle to avoid knocking the air out of the sponge base, but do ensure all the flour is incorporated. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking tin. Bake for 20 minutes or until well risen and golden brown. Before the sponge is fully cooked, invert it onto a sheet of parchment paper, dusted with sugar; spread the sponge with a thin layer of rasberry jam. Carefully roll the swiss roll up form the longest side rather than from the shortest. Cut into thin slices and sprinkle over a generous helping of sherry on top.

Egg Custard
1/2 vanilla bean pod
2 cups milk
2/3 cup heavy cream
6 egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp corn starch

Split the vanilla bean length wise and use a sharp knife to scrape out the seeds from one half the pod. Put the seeds and the half pod into a large sauce pan with milk and cream. (save the other half for later use). Bring the cream, milk and vanilla to a boil and remove from heat. Using a large bowl and whisk, beat the egg yolks, sugar and corn flour until light and creamy (about 2 minutes). Pour the milk and creamed mixture onto the eggs and mix well (my personal suggestion: temper the mixture into the eggs to avoid cooking them, rather than pouring it all in at once). Return the mix to the pan and cook for about 2 minutes (medium-low to medium setting), stirring constantly, until it coats the back of a wooden spoon. Taste the custard to ensure you can't taste the flour (if you can, return to the heat and cook longer).

Trifle
1 1/4 cup mixed fresh berries (raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, black currants)
1 cup freshly whipped cream
1 cup almonds, sliced and toasted

Place the jam swiss roll in a bowl and pour the custard over it; then allow to cool for a couple hours (or overnight refigerated). Cover with a disk of parchment paper or clingwrap to prevent a skin from forming. After cooling, spoon some whipped cream on top and decorate with a little more fresh berries as well as toasted almonds if desired,

Dulce de Leche Empanadas with Pineapple
Served at Cocina Cucamonga in Disney’s California Adventure® Park.
In this holiday spirit of giving and receiving, Jorge Sotelo, Jay Garcia, Juan Mendoza, and Nubia Renteria from the Disneyland® Resort Food & Beverage team would like to share an utterly delightful Mexican pastry recipe.Servings: 2 dozen

Empanada Dough
14 ½ ounces Cream Cheese
6 ¼ ounces Butter, Unsalted
1½ cups Flour
1½ Teaspoons Salt
1½ Teaspoons Baking Powder
1 Teaspoons Cinnamon

Cajeta and Pineapple Filling
1 14-ounce can Sweetened Condensed Milk
1 Pineapple, fresh, cleaned, trimmed
Finely diced Zest of 1 orange

Final Plate Recipe
2 Ounces Dough, freshly rolled out
1 Tablespoon Pineapple filling
1 Tablespoon Condensed Milk mixture (Cajeta)

Empanada Dough
Place cream cheese and butter in a medium bowl and mix until combined. In a separate bowl combine the flour, salt, baking powder and cinnamon and mix well, then add to the cream cheese mixture and mix until the dough comes together (approximately two and a half minutes). Take out the newly formed dough and flatten into a disk, wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least one hour*. Weigh out and portion 2 ounces of the dough and roll into small round balls. Sprinkle a little flour on a cutting board and roll out/flatten the dough with a rolling pin into circles about 3” in diameter. Reserve for fillings.

Cajeta and Pineapple Filling
Place unopened can in a large pot and completely cover with water. Simmer just below a boil until milk is reduced. This will take about 3 hours to slowly reduce. IMPORTANT: Make sure the can is completely submerged at all times - add water to the pot as needed as the water evaporates during this process. Once milk is reduced, set aside for next steps. With a sharp knife, cut the pineapple into small pieces (ideally a brunoise cut: julienned, then rotated 90 degrees and diced to make small squares) and set aside for next steps.

Final Plate Recipe
Preheat oven to 350°F. Place 1 Tbsp. of pineapple filling on each circle of dough, add 1 Tbsp. Cajeta mixture to the pineapple and fold dough in half making a half moon. Then seal or crimp the dough on all open edges and place onto a small cookie sheet. Bake in preheated oven for about 20 minutes. Empanadas should be a nice golden brown. Allow to cool and serve warm. Enjoy!

I'm making the Le Cellier cheese soup this evening. I'm using the recipe that is found on the YouTube video. My kids won't like the onion pieces floating around - so I thought I would use an immersion blender on the onion/celery pieces after cooking (I'll take the bacon out first). Has anyone else tried that? Any other suggestions?

I made this for Christmas dinner. Everyone loved it. Even the kids who can be fussy about such things. The onions were not much to contend with, whereas the celery still had a little crunch, which most liked. I don't think blending them in would be a problem though. Maybe you could separate in half at that point and try it both ways.

Good luck. I'm sure no matter what, you and your guests won't be dissapointed.

Thanks for your reply. The soup was great. My sons didn't love it, so I won't worry about the onions and celery next time. It was really a pain trying to "hide" them. It also made the making the roux a bit trickier. The quantities of ingredients in the video are different from the ones on page 1 of the thread. Which recipe did you use?

This board and this thread in particular are amazing. Thank you for putting it together and keeping it so organized. My two daughters and I love to eat at Disney, especially at the F&W festival. I started looking for more recipes after I saw two chefs do a demo at the Whole Foods here in Tampa a few months ago, so I'm really psyched to have stumbled on y'all.

I'm currently trying to find the recipe for the Chocolate Mousse cake served in Sunshine Seasons at Epcot (The Land). I emailed customer service but got the generic message back which some of you all seem to be experiencing lately as well. Anyone have any ideas for me?

Tonight I'm making the tie-dye cheesecake that I just found here - can't wait!

3. Bake, switching position of pans halfway through, until cakes begin to pull away from sides of ramekins, 20 to 25 minutes.
4. Cool cakes on pans for 20 minutes. Carefully invert ramekins onto each serving plate. Serve with vanilla ice cream.


For everyone posting recipe requests, Disney is actually supplying recipes when they can - especially if you tell them when you ate there or can supply a reservation number. If you were actually a guest, they are still helpful.

IMO, the odds of getting your recipe by posting a request here are quite low because it's doubtful that anyone coming here actually has it (or they would have hopefully posted it) and it's just as rare for anyone to fulfill requests while at the theme parks. I've done my best to help people get recipes but I won't be going to the parks in the foreseeable future and I'm hoping posters are not relying on anyone else to contact Guests Services or the Park Chefs on their behalf.
Please remember to post recipes if Guest services or a chef does respond. :goodvibes

<snip> Does anyone have the tomato bisque recipe from the Plaza or the short rib pasta recipe from Chefs de France? <snip>

I've added your request for the ribs to our Request List. The Tomato Bisque recipe has already on the list for some time.

<snip> I'm currently trying to find the recipe for the Chocolate Mousse cake served in Sunshine Seasons at Epcot (The Land). <snip>

Added to the Request List...

looking for a recipe for the cocunut shrimp curry soup-it's an appetizer at Kona Cafe.... also a green bean curry coconut type dish from Boma ? can you see our theme here....my ds was in love with both of these.....:thumbsup2

It's probably not at all the same, but there's a recipe for Coconut Curry Cauliflower Soup with Shrimp Dumplins on page 100. (from Boma) When my kids want something I can't find I often try something "similar" which satisfies their cravings - at least for a while. In the meantime, I've added your requests to our list. There's a wonderful Coconut Curry Sauce from Boma that came with the recipe I'd requested for their Cured Pork Loin (see page 130, post #1940). I'm thinking that might be good to simmer some green beans in...although it might be a bit thick for that. I just might try that the next time I open a can of coconut milk! :teeth:

I love the pasta primavera from Crystal Palace. I normally make a dinner ADR there once a trip to eat it, but I always forget to ask for the recipe. <snip>

Hi! I'm new here, but I've been going through the boards reading all the great recipes. Thanks for posting this treasure trove of Disney recipes. I tried to make the Boardwalk brownies tonight, and they didn't turn out quite right. The recipe says to bake at 330 degrees for approx. 15 minutes. After that time, I checked and they were real runny. I raised the temp to 350 and went another 15 minutes. They still didn't seem done, so I baked them another 10 minutes, and decided to take them out of the oven. They still weren't quite done, but I was afraid of burning the outside if I continued to bake. The parts that did fully cook tasted great. I was wondering if I was supposed to bake at 330 degrees for an hour and fifteen minutes...?? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. Y'all rock!

I tried finding another source to check for you as I've never made these myself. Generally brownie recipes tend to say to bake at 350 for 30 to 35 minutes, so I can't imagine they were supposed to be done at 330 for 75 minutes.

Some general questions...

Did you preheat your oven or just put them in & start the timer? That would extend the time...I confess I often forget to preheat. :blush:

If you took them out & had the oven door open for a bit while checking, or turned it off in between, or even had them out for ~5 minutes while you were checking on things it's possible that your total time wouldn't have been quite enough.

I never had the Boardwalk Brownies, but when my kids would make a box mix they preferred to "under bake" them...they like them gooey, chewy & not so cake-like. And the edge brownies are always more well-done than the center ones.

When was the last time you checked the temp on your oven? Maybe it doesn't quite reach the proper temp.

Thanks for responding so quickly. Yes, I preheated the oven, and when I checked it after the first 15 minutes, I opened the oven door and started to take it out, and when I started to move it, I could see it shaking like Jello, and immediately closed the door and reset the timer. The oven is fairly new, that's not to say that the temps are correct, but I think it's pretty close. The middle pieces were not just a little gooey, but runny still. As Alton Brown says: Not good eats. I served the best pieces to my family and neighbor with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top and a little chocolate syrup and whipped cream. Got no complaints. If I can get this brownie recipe down, I would like to make the Ghiradelli fudge sauce from Downtown Disney to drizzle over the top, maybe some caramel sauce also. The brownies have a real good flavor with ice cream and would make a great desert. I'll give it another try and get back to y'all. Thanks again!!!

By way of comparison I checked the instructions for the Double Chocolate Brownies from Ghirardelli's and it says:

"Preheat oven to 350°F. Mix the ingrediants then spread into greased 8 or 9-inch square pan. Bake 20 to 30 minutes. For extra chewy brownies, use 8-inch pan and less baking time – (as little as 15 min). For cake-like brownies, use 9-inch pan and longer baking time. Cut into squares."

Those seem like very short baking times but then, they use very different ovens.

From the Disney archives "two longtime King Stefan Banquet Hall favorites - gone but they definitely stand the test of time"! (from D23 Magazine)

BEEF AND BARLEY SOUP
King Stefan Banquet Hall, Magic Kingdom
Makes 8 cups.

4 cups boiling water
coarse salt (to taste)
2/3 cup uncooked pearl barley
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup finely diced onions
1/2 cup finely diced carrots
1/2 cup finely diced celery
2 teaspoons dried shallots
2 cups (about ½ pound) diced, cooked roast beef
8 cups water
5 beef bouillon cubes, crumbled
2 chicken bouillon cubes, crumbled
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon parsley flakes

Method of Preparation:
Bring water and 1 tablespoon salt to a boil in a saucepan on medium-high heat. Add the pearl barley; stir, cover, and reduce heat to low and cook for 30–40 minutes or until the barley is tender. Drain well in a colander and rinse using cold water. Set aside. Melt the butter in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed saucepot over medium heat. Sauté onions, carrots, celery, and shallots for 3–5 minutes or until tender. Add the roast beef, water, crumbled bouillon cubes, salt to taste, pepper, and garlic, and stir to combine. Bring soup to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Continue cooking for 20 minutes or until the meat is tender. Add parsley flakes and the cooked barley and continue cooking for 10 minutes. Season to taste with coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper.

CHEF'S NOTES: For the soup, you may add more roast beef to the recipe, if you prefer. Ask your deli to make the slices approximately one inch thick to make it easier for you.

FRIED BRIE CHEESE
http://d23.disney.go.com/recipes/images/012910_DTT_RecipeCheesefeat2.jpgIt doesn't get much better than biting into warm brie cheese oozing out of a breadcrumb exterior. Who needs dinner?
3 cups vegetable oil
2 9 ounce (4½-inch) Brie cheese rounds
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 large egg, beaten
3/4 cup dry bread crumbs
1/2 cup tomato sauce for dipping

Preheat the oil to 325 degrees in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Using a sharp knife, cut each cheese round into 8 even-sized wedges. Combine the flour and cayenne pepper in a mixing bowl. Place the beaten egg in another mixing bowl and the bread crumbs in a separate mixing bowl. Dredge the cheese pieces in the flour mixture and shake off the excess. Dip the cheese into the egg until evenly coated. Roll the cheese in the bread crumbs, coating evenly. Place pieces of cheese into the preheated oil in batches to avoid overcrowding the saucepan. Cook about 1 minute, or until golden brown. Remove them from the oil and transfer to paper towels to drain. Continue cooking the remainder of the cheese until complete. Heat the tomato sauce in a saucepan over low heat. If needed, season to taste with coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper. Serve the cheese immediately with the tomato dipping sauce on the side.

CHEF'S NOTES: For the cheese, use your favorite tomato sauce or simply add Italian seasonings to plain sauce for more flavor.

Puree in a food processor or food mill and cool. Use as directed in recipe or store refrigerated in a jar for up to one week or freeze in small parcels for later use.

Recipe notes: Galangal is a root with a hot, ginger-peppery flavor. It is used primarily as a seasoning. Galangal and kaffir lime leaves can be found in the spice section of large supermarkets and in Asian grocery stores.
Storing notes: This soup can be refrigerated for 1 week or frozen for later use.


In 1996, The Orlando Sentinel’s food section asked Planet Hollywood in Downtown Disney for some inspiration for a Mardi Gras menu. The result was this fab crawfish lasagna. The dish incorporates many traditional Louisiana ingredients including spicy andouille sausage, crawfish and Tabasco. But more importantly, it calls for the three essentials of the Louisiana cook’s ”holy trinity”: onion, bell pepper and celery.

Another recipe from the Disney archives via D23…

Blue Bayou Fantasia Cheesecake
You have the option on the final texture of this cheesecake. For a more cake-like texture bake about 10 minutes longer than called for in this recipe. For a creamier cake, remove five minutes earlier.

INGREDIENTS AND DIRECTIONS
4 cups cream cheese (32 oz.)
¼ tsp. salt
½ tsp. lemon flavoring
4 eggs

With an electric mixer, beat cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar, blending thoroughly. Add salt and lemon flavoring and mix well. Add one egg at a time, blending thoroughly after each addition. Set aside.

Graham Cracker Crust
1 cup graham cracker meal
1 tbsp. granulated sugar
¼ cup butter or margarine, softened
1 cup sour cream
2 tbsp. sugar

Combine first three ingredients and blend thoroughly. Press into a greased 9-inch spring form or cake pan. Pour in cheese mixture and bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 70 minutes, or until golden on top. Cool thoroughly. If you have used a cake pan, place a board the same size as cake on top, then tip slightly until loose and turn over on a dish.

Combine sour cream and sugar and spread evenly on top of cheese cake. For variety, top the cake with fresh strawberries or any other pie filling.

Hi all. Just returned from 3 weeks at Disney World. While we had no interest in eating dinner at Kouzzina, we found it a new and delicious place to eat breakfast. My question is, would anyone know where to find a recipe for the oatmeal, blueberry, orange granola pancakes? I'm not usually a pancake eater, but these were absolutely delicious. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Papaya, Avocado & Grapefruit Salad
Boma, Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge
Yield: 4 servings

1 papaya
1 avocado
1 grapefruit
10 mint leaves, cut into strips
Dressing:
1/2 cups plain yogurt
2 tablespoons grapefruit juice
1 tablespoon honey

1. Peel the papaya, slice in half lengthwise and remove the seeds. Cut the avocado in half lengthwise and remove the pit. Using a large spoon, separate the fruit from the peel. Dice both the papaya and the avocado into 1-inch cubes. Using a knife, peel the grapefruit to remove all the bitter white pith. Over a bowl, cut each segment away from the membrane. (You can use the juice for the dressing.) Toss the fruit and mint together and set aside.
2. In a small bowl, mix the ingredients for the dressing together; mix enough dressing to evenly coat the fruit.

Please Note: The directions I added to the index - to make finding a page easier - have been changed. I wasn't able to make it work the way I'd described it today for some reason. :confused3

I just added this to another thread in answer to a question, but want to add it here as well to keep them all together.

PUFFED FRENCH TOAST
from The Crystal Palace

2 whole eggs
2½ Tbl sugar
½ tsp salt
½ tsp vanilla extract
2 c milk
1 c flour
2½ tsp baking powder
12 slices Texas style toast, cut in half diagonally
cinnamon sugar mix (4 tsp. cinnamon + 3/4 c. granulated sugar)

Mix eggs, sugar, salt, vanilla, and milk until blended. Slowly add flour and baking powder; mix until smooth. Dip bread in batter. Fry in hot skillet with 1" oil until browned. Drain on paper towels; roll in sugar mix.

I thought the noodles had soy sauce and peppers or some such thing.

Does anyone remember or know how to cook these noodles? I loved them at Teppan Edo.

thanks

Pork Skewers with Feta-Mint Tzatziki
Kouzzina by Cat Cora, Boardwalk
Serves 6

8 to 10 8-inch wooden skewers, soaked
2 pounds boneless pork, cut into 1 1/2-inch strips or cubes
2 whole oranges, cut into wedges for the skewers
3 whole lemons, cut into wedges for the skewers

Marinade
1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
1/2 teaspoon dried chili flakes
1 teaspoon chili powder
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

6 pita rounds, sliced into two half-moon shapes
Iceberg or Romaine lettuce, shredded

Make the marinade by combining the olive oil, juices, chili flakes, chili powder, garlic, salt, and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 3 hours or overnight.

Soak skewers in a shallow pan of water for at least one hour.

Thread skewers with 3 or 4 pieces of marinated pork, alternating with small wedges of lemons and oranges. Place skewers on an area of the grill with no direct flame. Continue to brush marinade during grilling, until meat is browned, about 8 to 10 minutes or to desired doneness.
Serve immediately in pita pockets topped with shredded salad and tzatziki.

Feta-Mint Tzatziki
Makes 1 1/2 cups Not all feta tastes the same. Try this with Greek feta or an American artisanal feta and see how different the final result tastes. Mint adds a cool flavor and nice flecks of color to this version of a Greek classic.

1 cup plain yogurt, strained (see note below)
2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons good olive oil
1 teaspoon minced garlic (about 1 large clove)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons finely chopped mint
1 cucumber, peeled

In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients except the cucumber. Using an old-fashioned box grater, grate the cucumber directly over the yogurt mixture. Cover the bowl, put it in the refrigerator, and chill for at least an hour or overnight.

Pastitsio
Kouzzina by Cat Cora, Boardwalk
24 servings

1 pound ground beef
1 onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped
1/2 cup red wine
3/4 cup tomato puree
1 cup canned crushed tomatoes
1/2 cup water
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg, ground, plus more, for seasoning
1 1/2 pound Bucatini Pasta (or uncut macaroni)
2 tablespoons butter, plus 1/2 pound
3 eggs, separated
2 1/2 cups kefalotyri or kasseri, grated
2 quarts milk
1/2 pound flour
Nutmeg

Brown beef in a pan. Add onions and garlic and cook until soft. Deglaze with the red wine and reduce to 2 tablespoons. In a small bowl, mix together tomato puree and crushed tomatoes to make a sauce. Add to the onions and garlic, and then add the water. Season with salt, pepper, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Simmer for 10 minutes. Cook macaroni in salted water: drain. Return to pan. Add butter, egg whites and 1/2 cup of cheese, mix well. Heat up milk on medium high until it comes to a simmer. In a separate pan, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour until well blended. Whisk in warm milk. Bring mixture to a simmer and cook until fairly thick. Season with salt and nutmeg, to taste. Temper in the egg yolks. Add 1 cup of cheese. In a buttered 13 by 9-inch baking dish, layer macaroni mixture and meat sauce, cover with white sauce and sprinkle with remaining grated cheese on top. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 45 minutes. Remove from the oven to rack and let stand for 15 minutes. Cut into squares.

Roasted Pepper and Chickpea Soup
Kouzzina by Cat Cora, Boardwalk
Serves 4 to 6

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
2 15-ounce cans chickpeas, drained
1 tablespoon finely chopped rosemary
4 cups homemade or store-bought chicken stock or vegetable stock
1 bay leaf
1 8-ounce jar roasted peppers, cut into thin strips, or 1 red bell pepper, roasted, peeled, and seeded The red pepper strips in a jar work well, so don't spend time roasting peppers if you don't have to.
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4-8 sprigs fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)

Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and saute, stirring constantly until lightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and saute for 1 to 2 minutes to soften and bring out the fragrance. Add the chickpeas and rosemary, mixing well.
Pour in the stock, add the bay leaf, and reduce the heat to medium-low.
In a food processor or a blender, puree the contents of the jar of red bell pepper strips (or your own roasted red peppers). Add the red pepper puree to the soup and simmer for about one hour. Remove the bay leaf and add the salt and pepper before serving, and top with a sprinkle of parsley, if desired.


http://a.abcnews.com/images/GMA/ht_Fisherman_Stew_100310_mn.jpg
Greek Fishermen's Stew with Garlic Crostini
Kouzzina by Cat Cora, Boardwalk
Servings: 4

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 large yellow onion, halved lengthwise and sliced into half moons
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup dry white wine
1 15-ounce can diced tomatoes
1 tbs chopped fresh marjoram (or 1 teaspoon dried marjoram)
1 tbs chopped fresh Italian flat-leaf parsley
2 cups seafood/fish stock or bottled clam broth or cold water
1-1 1/2 pounds of shrimp, clams or mussels (deveined, shelled and cleaned)
1 tsp Kosher salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
4 thick slices rustic bread toasted rubbed with garlic and olive oil

Pour the olive oil into a large saucepan or pot set over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot but not smoking, cook the onion slices until lightly browned, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic, saute for 2 to 3 minutes more, and then pour in the wine. Reduce the heat slightly and simmer the mixture for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the diced tomatoes and herbs.

Pour in the fish stock or water and then add the clams and mussels (if using). As soon as the clams and mussel shells open, add the shrimp and simmer just until shrimp are pink. (If you're not adding clams or mussels, you can add shrimp right after you've added the fish stock.)

Season with salt and pepper and serve hot. If you like, add a toasted slice of a thick, hearty rustic bread beside each serving.

Buy mussels the day you plan to use them. About one hour before cooking, scrub mussels with a brush (no soap!) under cold running water to get rid of grit and pull off the fringed byssus (also called a beard) or scrape it off with a knife. Keep them in a bowl of ice water until they go into the pan. The mussel shells will open during cooking. If any mussel doesn't open, toss it.

Note: Chef Dee Foundoukis and Chef George Paterakis, Walt Disney World chefs from Kouzzina by Cat Cora on Disney’s BoardWalk went to the White House kitchen, along with celebrity chef Cat Cora to cook for Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou (in Washington to meet with the President). Among the dishes served was Fishermen’s Stew – the very same stew that you can taste at Kouzzina by Cat Cora. The popular restaurant showcases many of Cora’s Greek family recipes, including the stew, a savory bowl of scallops, lobster, shrimp and clams dressed with ouzo butter.

Sauteed Brussels Sprouts
Kouzzina by Cat Cora, Boardwalk, WDW
Servings: 4-6

3 pounds Brussels sprouts
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons capers
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (grated), for garnish

Prepare the brussel sprouts by peeling off the tired outside leaves and cutting off the stem. Mark the core where the stem was with an X using a paring knife. Cut the sprouts in half.
In a 4 quart sauce pan bring 2 quarts of water to a boil. Season with 1 tablespoon of salt. Blanch the sprouts for 10 minutes, or until fork tender.
In a 10 inch sauté pan, brown the butter and add in the sprouts. Cook on medium high heat, rolling the sprouts in the pan, until the sprouts are caramelized, about 10 minutes.
Remove from the heat, and add the capers and lemon juice. Sprinkle with cheese.




Chocolate Budino
Kouzzina by Cat Cora, Boardwalk, WDW
Makes 12 small cakes or one 9-inch round cake

Budino means "pudding" in Italian, but these are more like little molten cakes, moist and almost gooey in the middle if served warm from the oven. Cat likes to serve each budino with a scoop of homemade Banana Chocolate Chunk Ice Cream -- but it's also great with crème anglaise and fresh raspberries or strawberries. She uses Callebaut or El Rey chocolate for this dessert, but any premium chocolate will work.

1/2 pound high-quality bittersweet chocolate, (Callebaut or El Rey)
3 large eggs, plus 3 large yolks
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened

Preheat the oven to 350° F.
Grease or spray two 12-cup muffin tins with vegetable or canola oil. (You can also use just one tin and bake the batter in two batches.) Wipe out excess oil with a paper towel. Set the tin aside.
Grate chocolate or chop it into small shards with a chef's knife or a serrated knife. (It's easiest if you begin at a corner, particularly if the chocolate is very thick. Take it slowly and keep your fingers safe.) Place the chopped chocolate in a large bowl and set the bowl over a saucepan of hot water over very low heat. Allow the chocolate to melt slowly, stirring occasionally.
In a separate bowl, gently whisk the whole eggs, egg yolks, sugar, and flour. Mix until all of the ingredients are well incorporated. Set aside.
When the chocolate is smooth, remove the bowl from hot water and add the softened butter. Mix until the mixture is again smooth and the butter is completely incorporated. Add the sugar and egg mixture mixing well.
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tins, filling each cup three-quarters full. Bake for 11 to 12 minutes. The edges will have just begun to pull away from the pan, and the top of each budino should still look moist and shiny at the center. Remove tins from the oven and allow them to cool for 10 minutes. While the tins are still warm, place a baking sheet over the top of each muffin tin and invert it. Carefully lift the muffin tin to release cakes. Transfer the cakes to a serving platter or individual dessert plates. They're at their best if served warm, but are also delicious at room temperature.

Chocolate Kourabiedes (Greek Butter Cookies)
Kouzzina by Cat Cora, Boardwalk, WDW

2 1/2 cups (5 sticks) unsalted butter (defoamed/dewatered, cooled)
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 jigger brandy, cognac, or whiskey
2 tablespoons lemon or orange juice
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup walnuts, toasted, coarsely ground
~6 cups flour
2 pounds cocoa powder
paper cups

Beat butter until light and fluffy (at least 30 minutes); add sugar, beat well; add egg yolks, beat well; add vanilla, cognac, lemon juice/soda, beat well; add walnuts; add flour until dough is medium tight (not soft, not stiff; do not over knead flour). Pinch off a 1-and-a-1/2 inch piece of dough and form into desired shape (crescent, triangle, round, star); dimple top. Place on cookie sheet and bake at 350 for 20 minutes, or until light golden brown. Remove from oven and sprinkle very lightly with cinnamon or ground clove. Layer cookies on bed of cocoa powder top and bottom, let cool and set for at least 30 minutes (can store in sugar in air tight container for days). Place each cookie in a paper cup and sprinkle again with cocoa if necessary. Can double recipe. Yield varies with size. Hint: Save powdered sugar in plastic bag, use with butter for the next batch.

Peanutters Cookies
Kouzzina by Cat Cora, Boardwalk, WDW
Makes 3 dozen

2 1/4 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup butter (very softened)
1/4 cup peanut butter (salted/crunchy preferred)
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips (mixture of milk and semi-sweet)
1 cup salted cocktail peanuts, roughly chopped

Preheat oven at 350 F. Grease baking sheets with nonstick cooking spray. Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl and set aside. Beat butter, peanut butter, sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract in large mixing bowl until creamy.Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually add in flour mixture. Stir in chocolate chips and chopped peanuts. Bake for 11-12 minutes, let cool for a few minutes and enjoy!

A Sweet Ending to Your Celebration . . . Baklava
Kouzzina by Cat Cora, Boardwalk, WDW
Makes 64 individual pieces.

Syrup:
1 1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup water
1/8 cup honey
1 (1/8-inch) slice lemon
1 (2-inch) stick cinnamon
2 whole cloves

1 pound blanched almonds, coarsely ground
1 pound walnuts, coarsely ground
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon cloves, ground
4 sheets phyllo dough
1 1/4 pounds unsalted butter, melted

Combine all of the syrup ingredients in a 2-quart stainless saucepan; bring to a boil and simmer for 15 minutes on low heat. Take the saucepan off the heat, remove the lemon and spices, and allow the syrup to cool to room temperature.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Place the almonds in a food processor fitted with a steel blade and using the pulse method process them until they are coarsely ground. (Be careful not to over process, which would cause the nuts to become oily and make a paste.) Remove the ground almonds from the processor, place in a bowl, and set aside. Place the walnuts in the processor and repeat the grinding process.
In a saucepan, melt the butter slowly on very low heat. Meanwhile, thoroughly combine the ground almonds and walnuts, sugar, cinnamon, and cloves in a bowl. Take 4 sheets of phyllo dough and brush each sheet with melted butter, layering the sheets as you go. Once the 4 sheets are pressed together, sprinkle 1 cup of the nut mixture over the top sheet and roll, lengthwise, until you reach the end. Keep the roll as tight as possible without breaking. It should look like a long cylinder.
Cut the roll into 2-inch pieces, and dip each into the melted butter and then place on a baking sheet. Place into the oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. When done remove from the oven and with a pair of tongs remove each piece from the pan, dip in the syrup and place on a cake rack to drain. Serve in small cup cake cups on a platter.

Galaktoboureko (Milk Pie)
Kouzzina by Cat Cora, Boardwalk, WDW
Yield: 18 servings

4 cups milk
1/2 cup fine semolina
1 cup sugar
2/3 cup unsalted butter
4 eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pound thick, commercial phyllo dough
2/3 cup clarified butter, to brush dough
3 cups water
2 cups sugar
1/2 lemon

In a heavy pot, bring the milk to a boil. Sprinkle in the semolina, whisking constantly over very low heat. Add the sugar, then simmer for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring from time to time. Remove from the heat and add the butter and the eggs, 1 by 1, stirring. Blend in the vanilla. The mixture will be thick but pourable, like a sauce.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Butter a deep 10-inch baking pan. In the bottom of the pan, layer 8 sheets of phyllo, leaving the edges hanging over the sides of the pan. Brush each sheet generously with clarified butter. Pour the milk mixture over the phyllo layers.
Cut the remaining sheets of phyllo about the size of the pan and brush each sheet with clarified butter. Place the buttered sheets on top of the filling, then brush the hanging bottom sheets with clarified butter and roll them up to seal.
With a very sharp knife, score the top diagonally in 2 directions to make diamond-shaped slits on the surface. (This makes it easier to cut later, and also allows the syrup to penetrate the pie.) Sprinkle with a little water and bake about 1 hour, or until top is light brown and filling has set.
The minute you start baking the pie, begin to make the syrup. Simmer the water with sugar and the 1/2 of lemon for about 1 hour. Remove the lemon half and squeeze the juice into the syrup. Discard the lemon. Pour the syrup over the pie the minute you take it out of the oven. Be careful, syrup will bubble vigorously and can burn you.
Let cool, and serve, cutting pieces along the slits that you made before baking the pie.

Chocolate Espresso Torte
The Turf Club at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort
Makes one 9-inch torte

1 1/2 sticks butter, softened, plus additional softened butter for greasing pan
3/4 cup sugar, plus additional sugar for dusting pan
12 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
5 eggs at room temperature, beaten
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup prepared espresso

Chocolate Ganache:
4 ounces semisweet chocolate
1 stick softened butter
Vanilla ice cream, optional

For Torte:
Preheat oven to 300º with oven rack in middle position. Wrap a 9-inch springform pan in plastic wrap, then wrap tightly with a layer of heavy-duty foil. Generously butter pan. Dust pan with sugar, tapping out excess. Place prepared pan in a roasting pan; set aside.

Combine 3/4 cup sugar and prepared espresso in a small saucepan over medium heat. Heat, stirring, until sugar is dissolved. Set aside to cool for 10 minutes.

Place chocolate in a large bowl set over a large saucepan of barely simmering water (do not allow bottom of bowl to touch water). Stir occasionally until just melted. Add butter by the tablespoonful, stirring until combined. Stir in espresso syrup and vanilla extract. Set aside to cool slightly, 4 to 5 minutes. Gently stir in eggs until combined.

Pour batter into prepared springform pan. Pour boiling-hot water into roasting pan until it reaches three-quarters of the way up the of springform pan. Bake until center of torte is almost set, but still wobbles just slightly, about 45 to 50 minutes.

Transfer torte to a wire rack to cool completely. Refrigerate, covered, for 8 hours or overnight.

For Ganache:
Place chocolate in a medium bowl set over a medium saucepan of simmering water (do not allow bottom of bowl to touch water). Stir occasionally until melted. Set aside to cool slightly, 3 to 4 minutes. Add butter by the tablespoonful, stirring until combined and glossy. Use immediately.

To Serve:
Run a thin knife along edge of chilled torte, and remove springform pan ring. Set torte on a wire rack set over a sheet pan. Pour ganache over torte, a bit at a time, spreading with a rubber or offset spatula to cover top. Allow excess to drip down sides, if desired. Place torte on a platter or sheet pan lined with parchment paper, and refrigerate until set, approximately 2 hours. Serve with vanilla ice cream, if desired.

For Miniature Heart-Shaped Tortes:
Cut individual tortes from large torte using a heart-shaped cutter. Carefully dip each heart into ganache using two forks, letting excess drip off. Set hearts on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper, and refrigerate until set, approximately 2 hours. Serve with a scoop of vanilla-port wine ice cream, if desired.

According to the index, the Bengal Barbecue Chieftain Chicken Skewers should have been on page 181, but I couldn't find the recipe. Is this just one that we don't have? I'd really love to try making them myself! I would also be very grateful for the Bengal Beef with Zulu sauce if anyone has that one.

If you look closely that is on the REQUEST list, that means we do not have it yet.
As for the beef, check page 154, post 2304 and see if that is the one you want.

Hi,

Would anyone have the recipe for the spiced tomato dish at the Boma breakfast?

It should be fairly simple, it's chopped stewed tomatoes that are spiced, but for the life of me I can't work out what those spices are.

Chai Cream
Sanaa, Animal Kingdom Lodge

5 1/3 plus 1/2 cups Heavy Whipping cream
1 Vanilla bean, split lengthwise and scraped, seeds removed
1 cup granulated sugar
1 (1 ounce) Envelope powdered gelatin
2 teaspoons Black chai tea, ground in a coffee or spice grinder
1 Cinnamon stick
6 Green cardamom pods
6 Whole black peppercorns
1 tablespoon Powdered sugar
1 tablespoon Semisweet chocolate shavings (use cheese grater or vegetable peeler to shave from a solid bar)

Combine 5 cups of cream, vanilla bean seeds and granulated sugar in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Place 1/3 cup cream in a small bowl, and add posdered gelatin: stir to mix. When the cream-sugar mixture simmers, immediately remove from heat, and add cinnamon, cardamom pods and peppercorns
Let mixture steep for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Pour mixture into a metal bowl set in a larger bowl of ice water. Cover with plastic wrap and let steep and cool for 30 minutes. Pour mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl. Freeze for 20 minutes, or until the mixture starts to thicken (this additional cooling allows the gelatin to set slightly so the specks fo team remain in suspension instead of falling to the bottom of the glass.)
Divide mixture evenly among 8 (5oz) glasses or ramekins, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving. Before serving, combine remaining 1/2 c. cream and powdered sugar into a large bowl. Whip with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Dollop whipped cream onto each glass, then sprinkle with semisweet chocolate shavings. Serve immediately.


Seared Scallops with Tomato Coulis and Rice Galette
Chefs de France, Epcot, WDW (2001)
Yield: 4 servings.

3 shallots, finely chopped
Chopped fresh tarragon
Butter for sauteing
2 cups white wine
2 tablespoons of vinegar
1 cup heavy cream
14 ounces unsalted butter
2 chopped tomatoes
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
12 scallops
Rice galette (see note)

Sauteed pear baby tomatoes, fried herb leaves and fresh dill for garnish
1. Saute shallots and tarragon in butter. Add wine, vinegar. Let cook for few minutes. Add cream. Let cook until mixture reduces in volume by half. Add butter a little at a time. Add tomatoes, stirring. Season with salt, pepper.
2. Season scallops with salt, pepper. Saute in butter until golden and cooked. Serve on top of rice gallette. Ladle sauce around edges. Garnish.

Rice gallette: Saute 1 chopped onion in butter. Add 5 ounces risotto, chicken and clam bases and saffron to taste. When risotto is cooked, mix in 2 ounces Parmesan and 4 ounces of butter.

Sorry,but this isn't the real Mickey waffle recipe from WL.
I was at WL in January with some friends ( we're all 50+)and we had the waffles for the first time and LOVED them. We asked the waiter what makes them so good, and he went in the back and brought us a recipe. I've made them twice at home and they were great, but now have lost the recipe :sad1::sad1: It contains malt (I got it online at King Arthur's Flour website). I'm hoping someone else will ask for it and post it here so I can get it back.

I just finished the recipe from this thread.
I tried to make it low fat .
I need a little help tweeking it though.

Here's what I changed & how it came out (no pix)

Filling:
frozen bag of boc, caulf & carrots
672g of frozen chick tend (I don't know how many cups that equals)
1 can LeSuer peas,onion, mush (added after cooking veg & chick)


Gravy:
Land oLakes light butter 2T (made roux w/ 2T flour)
1 c. fat free LoL Half & half
1 c. 2% milk
1 cup pot liquor
1c. Kraft low fat Parm

Topping:
one roll of Pep Farm puff pastry
brushed w/ egg white

Baked in 9x12 Pyrex for 45 min in convect oven on 400.

So I tasted great & looked pretty good to.
But it was drier.
I guess too much chicken & not enough gravy.

The real fat overload is the puff pastry, if I could find a lower fat brand.

Melani: Disney recipes tend to be on the high calorie side - one reason they taste so good. One can always try and substitute Phyllo Pastry for Puff pastry, as it is fat-free. However, it's also a very different texture. What I would do is put mashed potatoes (done in a low calorie way), on top of the pie because I think you get better nutritional value for the calories.


I'm looking for a recipe for the cold green bean salad from The Comtempo Cafe at the Contemporary.

Thanks!

PATRIOT'S PUNCH
Liberty Tree Tavern, MK, WD

1 pint Orange Sherbet
1 cup Sprite

COLD GREEN BEAN SALAD
The Comtempo Cafe, Contemporary Hotel, WDW

Blanch green beans and toss in teriyaki sauce. Use either a good one found in any grocery store in the ethnic food isle.
Or to make 2 cups of your own sauce: Combine 1 cup water, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 3 TBSP brown sugar, 1 minced garlic clove and 1 TBSP fresh grated ginger in a saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Dissolve 2 TBSP cornstarch in 1/4 cup of cold water and add to sauce. Stir constantly to allow the sauce to thicken.
Chill salad before serving.

Note: I served my beans hot as a vegetable dish and it was good.

Momon - right now Disney Guest Relations is being very good about trying to fulfill recipe requests. Please contact guest.mail@wdw.disneyonline.com and share the recipe if you get it.

MazdaUK - We have several recipes for mac & cheese in this thread from places like the Swan & Dolphin, Artist Point & Jiko. I've seen a show on either the travel channel or food channel (maybe Unwrapped?) where they talked about Disney's mac & cheese and how they worked out the recipe with kids as tasters. So I know that at least some of the restaurants make their own, but I thought I'd read or heard that some places were using the frozen Stauffer's kind. Either way, I can't believe they'd serve the Kraft stuff! Years ago it was much better than the "new" recipe Kraft uses. It's not cheese-y at all! :(

We do have some DLP recipes, but not from Walt's dinner. If you go to the index at http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1777635 there is a section where the recipes are listed by restaurant...that's in post #9. At the bottom of the post is a section called "Other Recipes" & they're in that section. There's on from Annette's Diner and a few more just listed as "EuroDisney, Paris".

Hi All- I need the recipe for the 1/2 chicken served at the Mara at AKL. I have called and emailed Disney, even right after my trip, and have gotten no response. This is my mom's fave and I want to give her the recipe for mother's day. TIA!
This was posted in its own thread - I'm just adding it here to keep them all together.

My son is home from CA for a couple weeks so I don't have time right now to update the index. I'll do that as soon as he leaves. Thanks to all who keep sharing recipes! :teeth:

The Liberty Tree Tavern serves Stauffer's Mac'n Cheese as they are sponsored by them, or at least they were. Jiko was voted the best mac'n cheese awhile back and that is the one they taught to the kids in those cooking classes they used to have.

Thanks I'll check the index. And I'm glad they make some M&C in some restaurants - maybe I'll try that, I mostly use a Cracker Barrel one (as that's what DS loved) but I'd like a change. I knew some used box recipe but I hadn't heard of Staufers - we don't have that here. Actually, although we have Kraft we don't have half as many ready meal options. Perhaps that's just as well, given the calories:rolleyes1

Salmon and English Pea Risotto with Spring Ramps
California Grill at Disney’s Contemporary Resort
Serves 4

Ramp Pesto:
1 1/4 cups extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup roughly chopped fresh whole ramps, root ends and tough tops removed and discarded
2 tablespoons grated aged (hard) goat cheese
1 1/2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts
1 teaspoon roasted garlic puree
1 clove garlic, peeled and minced
Pinch coarse salt, coarsely ground black pepper

Roasted Black Trumpet Mushrooms:
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon minced shallot
1 clove garlic, minced
2 cups black trumpet mushrooms, or similar wild, meaty mushrooms
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper

Sautéed Peas and Ramps:
1 tablespoon butter
12 fresh ramps, washed well
1/2 cup fresh English peas
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
English Pea Risotto:
2 cups fresh English peas
1/4 cup sugar
6 1/4 cups vegetable stock, divided
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 cup diced onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/4 cups carnaroli or Arborio rice (also called risotto rice)
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup grated manchego cheese
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
Coarse salt, to taste
Salmon 4 (6-ounce) filets skinless wild salmon
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
1 tablespoon canola oil
24 yellow pea tendrils, for garnish

For ramp pesto:
1. Place all ingredients in a food processor; pulse until mixture is well combined but still slightly chunky. Set aside.

For roasted black trumpet mushrooms:
1. Preheat oven to 400F.
2. Place oil, shallot, garlic, and mushrooms in a large bowl. Toss to coat. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper, and toss again to thoroughly combine.
3. Place mixture on an ungreased baking sheet. Roast for 15 to 17 minutes, or until the mushrooms are fragrant and slightly shriveled.
4. Place the roasted mushrooms in a medium sauté pan over high heat. Sauté for 2 to 3 minutes, tossing constantly, until mushrooms are seared and crisp around edges. Set aside and keep warm.

For sautéed peas and ramps:
1. Melt butter in a medium sauté pan over medium heat. When butter is frothy, add ramps and peas. Sauté for 2 minutes until just warm. Add salt and pepper; stir to combine. Set aside and keep warm.

For English pea risotto:
1. Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil over high heat. Add peas and sugar to water. Cook 2 minutes, then plunge peas into an ice water bath to stop the cooking.
2. Place cooked peas and 1/4 cup of vegetable stock in food processor and puree. Once the mixture is smooth, pour through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl, pressing puree through the sieve with the back of a spoon. Discard solids. Set pea puree aside.
3. Place remaining 6 cups vegetable broth in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a slight boil, then adjust heat to medium to keep at a simmer.
4. Heat oil in a wide-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes, or until onion is translucent. Add rice; sauté for 2 minutes, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon.
5. Slowly ladle 1/2 cup simmering broth into rice, stirring constantly until most of broth is adsorbed. Continue adding broth, 1 ladleful at a time, stirring frequently between additions and waiting until rice looks slightly dry before adding the next ladleful. When most, but not all, of the broth is absorbed, taste the risotto. When risotto is done, it should not be crunchy at all, but still slightly firm. Add remaining broth, if needed, until risotto is al dente.
6. Remove from heat, and add the pea puree, heavy cream, manchego cheese, butter, and pepper. Taste, then add salt to taste (some broths are salty, so the amount of salt you add will vary). Stir to combine.

For salmon:
1. Sprinkle the salmon filets with salt and white pepper. Heat oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. When oil shimmers, carefully add salmon filets to the pan. Cook for 4 minutes, then flip filets, and cook for 4 minutes more. Remove pan from heat.

To serve:
1. Divide the risotto equally among 4 wide, shallow bowls, then place about 1/4 cup mushrooms on the center of the risotto.
2. Place the salmon directly on top of the mushrooms, then place another 1/4 cup mushrooms on top of the salmon. Drizzle a bit of ramp pesto around the outside of the risotto.
3. Evenly divide sautéed peas and ramps over the top of the fish. Garnish with 6 pea shoots on each portion. Serve immediately.

3. Add sugar, salt, and pepper, and mix well.
4. Remove from heat, taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

FRENCH PANCAKES (CREPES)

3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp double-acting baking powder
2 tbsps confectioner’s sugar
2 eggs, beaten
2/3 cup milk
1/3 cup water
1/4 tsp vanilla or 1/2 tsp grated lemon rind

1. Sift flour; resift with salt, baking powder and confectioner’s sugar. In separate bowl, beat eggs and beat together milk, water and vanilla or lemon rind.
2. Make a well in the sifted ingredients. Pour in the liquid ingredients. Combine with a few swift strokes. Ignore lumps; they will take care of themselves.
3. Heat a 5-inch skillet and grease it with a few drops of oil. Add a small quantity of batter, tip the bottom, cook over moderate heat. When it is brown underneath, reverse and brown the other side. Use a few drops of oil for each crepe. Then chill crepes.
4. Heat vegetable oil in deep fryer or large skillet to 350 F. Drop crepe into oil and press down in center with a soup ladle. As it fries, the crepe will form a bowl. Place onto paper towels and repeat until all crepes are deep-fried. Or place crepe in potato nest basket and deep-fry at 350 F for 30 to 45 seconds until golden brown.
Recipe note: Unused crepes can be frozen

If there's a recipe you really want, I'd strongly suggest writing to Disney Guest Relations because they are currently very good about trying to fulfill them. It would be appreciated if you do get a response that you post the recipe here so it can get taken off the request list.

Heat a large pan and sauté the bacon over a medium to high heat for a couple of minutes until the fat comes out. Stir in the onion, potatoes, leek and cabbage, then cover with a lid and sweat over a medium heat for 10 minutes until well softened but not colored, stirring occasionally.
Pour the vegetable stock or water into the cabbage mixture and bring to a boil, then season to taste. Stir in cream and simmer for a few minutes until the soup has a creamy texture.
To serve, remove the soup from the heat and whisk in the butter. It is important not to re-boil the soup once the butter has been added or you'll find it will curdle. Ladle the colcannon soup into cappuccino cups or warmed serving bowls and serve with a cheese straw to the side. (recipe below).

Visited the park last week for Birthday celebration that included a visit to Blue Bayou and my whole family wents nuts for these potatoes. They are still talking about them. Our server mentioned that the BB recipe includes heavy cream, chicken base (does that mean broth?), parmesean cheese, and the little "kick" you are tasting is jalepeno.

This recipe was posted on the Disneyland Boards - no mention of jalapenos. :confused3 These sound delicious, cannot wait to try them next month! :cool1:

Here's the recipe that they use at BB:

Potatoes (baking) 3 lbs, peeled and thin sliced
Onion, thin sliced

Cream Sauce for the Potatoes

Manufacturing Cream (Heavy Cream) 2 cups
Whole Thyme (dry) 1/4 tsp.
Fresh Garlic (chopped) 2 tbs.
Salt 1-1/4 tsp.
Pepper 1-1/4 tsp
Butter 1 tbs.
Parmesan Cheese (grated) 4 oz *use real grated parmesan cheese, not the kind sold in a shaker

Mix onions and potatoes and put into baking dish. Mix cream, garlic, salt, pepper, and thyme leaves. Pour mixture over potatoes and onions and cover. Put in a pre-heated 350F degree oven, and bake for about one hour. When potatoes are tender, remove from oven and sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Put back in the oven uncovered and bake for ten minutes more until brown.

Base is a concentrated paste (Minor's is a famous brand) that you mix with a liquid to bake stock. To me it tastes like the paste form of the powdered boullion

This thread is SO great! I have copied over a few and I can't wait to make more WDW recipes until the next trip.

I have checked the index and can't find two recipes I would LOVE to have! We had a delicious dinner at The Wave this month and I would like to make the black bean soup with pork tenderloin at home, as well as the avocado citrus salad.

Anyone have these??

We just got back a week and a half ago. We tried The Wave for the first time and we absolutely LOVED it! It was our favorite meal of the trip. I had the sustainable fish with edamame stew and DH and DS15 both had the apple brined pork tenderloin. We got the recipes for both! I will post them when I get a chance. I have them at home, but we won't be home tonight.

I am not sure if the pork tenderloin is the same thing as you are refering to. Their's was server with mashed sweet potatoes and a spinach salad of some kind. I believe it was the special.

Here are some photos. Sorry they are not the best.

Add all together and bring to a boil to make clear and disolve salt and sugar. Chill all the way down and then it is ready to use. Place pork loin, chop or tenderloin into marinade for 24 hours and then pull out. Grill very slowly on low heat or pork will char due to sugar content.


Root Beer Demi Glace On the pork.

1 cup veal or beef stock
1 cup of your favorite root beer
1 teaspoon corn starch
1 teaspoon water

-Add the root beer to the veal stock and bring to a low simmer.
-Let it cook slowly until it cooks down by 1/4.
-At this point mix the water and cornstarch together and stir it into the demi glace.
-Cook for another 5 minutes and then store in a warm place until ready to use, or refrigerate.


Bacon Vinaigrette Dressing on the spinach salad.

2 tablespoons apple wood bacon
1/4 cup white balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon dijon mustard
1/2 cup olive oil
2 tablesppons bacon grease
1 tablespoon white sugar
1/2 tablespoon yellow onion
pinch of parsley
pinch of rosemary
pinch of salt
pinch of pepper

-Cut bacon into half inch pieces and cook until crispy in a pan. Save bacon grease.
-Put aside 3/4 of the cooked bacon. Take the other 1/4 of the bacon and put it in the blender (or robot coupe). With the vinegar, mustard, and bacon grease.
-Blend well. Slowly add oil and let run.
-Add oinions, sugar, herbs and seasonings.

I've added the request to our index. However, it's probably best if you attempt to contact WDW yourself & give them the dates of your stay. There are tips on doing this in the index thread - see post #5.

MickeyWanaBe - thanks so much for taking the time to share those great sounding recipes. I'm doing a BBQ for 20 on July 4 and will be trying the Spinach dressing for sure and probably the pork.

Did you also get the Corn and Edamame Stew recipe? I'm a huge fan of Edamame and am lookig forward to seeing that one.

Below is an updated and somwhat changed version of the Jiko flatbread recipes. The recpes are from the summer issue of D23. My attempt last year with the other recipe ended up with a super wet dough which could would not form balls or be rolled out. I basically poured it into a pan and there was so much dough it ended ap a thick, heavy mess. Hope someone tried this recipe and lets us know if it's better.

Kalamata Olive Flatbread & Basic Flatbread (from D23)
Jiko, Animal Kingdom Lodge
Makes 6 (8- x 9-inch) flatbreads

Millet Dough
1 (1⁄2-ounce) envelope dry active yeast
3⁄4 cup plus 1 tablespoon lukewarm water
1⁄2 cups high-gluten or bread flour
1⁄2 cups millet flour
1⁄3 cup hulled millet
1⁄2 teaspoon kosher salt
1⁄2 teaspoon baking powder
1⁄4 teaspoon sugar


In small bowl, combine yeast and water. Stir gently to combine. Set aside until frothy, approximately 5 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine high-gluten or bread flour, millet flour, millet, salt, baking powder, and sugar. Stir to combine.
Slowly incorporate yeast-water mixture into flour mixture, stirring until a dough forms. Refrigerate overnight.

Kalamata Olive and Cheese Topping
1⁄4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1⁄2 cups shredded four-cheese blend (fontina, Gruyère, provolone, Asiago), divided
1⁄2 cups kalamata olives, pitted and halved, divided
3 cups loosely packed spring greens

Remove dough and set aside in a warm place for 1 hour. Place a baking stone in the center of the oven. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Divide dough into 6 equal balls. Roll each ball into an 8- x 9-inch oval. Prick with a fork 10 times. Brush each oval with 1 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Top each with ¼ cup cheese and 1⁄4 cup olives.
Bake each flatbread on the preheated baking stone until crust is golden and cheese is melted and bubbly, 8 to 12 minutes. Top each flatbread with ½ cup spring greens. Cut flatbread into bite-size pieces. Serve warm.

MickeyWanaBe - thanks so much for sharing all those recipes. I have so much cilantro I should make the sauce but in this heat I don't feel much like cooking. I made some Disney salads, ribs and the jerk marinade from the Disney Institute for July 4th and the dishes were a huge hit. I'm changing up the Coconut Carrot Raisin Salad with less vinegar and lemon juice, frozen OJ, less ginger etc. It's much closer to the Boma version now and got raves. The Tunisian Cous Cous salad (Boma) is outstanding and Disney's Secret Sauce is one the best BBQ sauces ever.

Chocolate Butterfinger Cup Cake
Starring Rolls, Disney Hollywood Studios, WDW

Devil's Food Cake
1 cup boiling-hot water
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
1 1/4 cups firmly packed dark brown sugar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 large eggs, warmed in very warm water for 10 minutes
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 cup whole milk


Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Whisk together boiling water and cocoa. Cover and set aside. With a mixer, cream together the butter, sugars, salt and vanilla extract. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, and continue creaming until light and fluffy.
Sift together the flour & baking soda and add this mixture, alternately with the milk. Add cocoa and water mixture and mix until thoroughly combined. Scoop into large Muffin Cups and bake for 20 to 25 minutes - until done.
Let cool completely before decorating.
Cut out some cake from the middle of the muffin. Fill with chocolate fudge and top with cut out cake. Pipe buttercream (the white stuff) around cake . Freeze and dip in chocolate coating. Immediately drizzle with crushed Butterfingers.


Note: The chef didn't include recipes for the chocolate fudge/buttercream/chocolate coating. This blogger (from whom I used the pictures) reviews the treat and says: "The “stem” of the chocolate cupcake is about the size of a jumbo muffin, and it’s a moist chocolate cake surrounding a big blob of soft fudge filling. The top of the cupcake is a tower of fluffy white icing (kind of like you’d get on a grocery store birthday cake) covered in a hard chocolate candy shell and sprinkled with Butterfinger crumbs."
These recipes are not from WDW but could help if you want to try making the cupcake.

**Vanilla Buttercream - Professional Bakery recipe
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened

Place the butter in a large mixing bowl. Add 4 cups of the sugar and then the milk and vanilla. On the medium speed of an electric mixer, beat until smooth and creamy, about 3 to 5 minutes. Gradually add the remaining sugar, 1 cup at a time, beating well after each addition (about 2 minutes), until the icing is thick enough to be of good spreading consistency. You may not need to add all of the sugar. If desired, add a few drops of food coloring and mix thoroughly. (Use and store the icing at room temperature because icing will set if chilled.) Icing can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Yield: enough for 2 dozen cupcakes
**From Allysa Torey, More From Magnolia: Recipes from the World-Famous Bakery: The vanilla buttercream we use at the bakery is technically not a buttercream but actually an old-fashioned confectioners' sugar and butter frosting. Be sure to beat the icing for the amount of time called for in the recipe to achieve the desired creamy texture.


*Chocolate Fudge Frosting:
4 ounces (120 grams) unsweetened chocolate, coarsely chopped
2/3 cup (150 grams) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 1/3 cups (160 grams) confectioners (powdered or icing) sugar, sifted
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl placed over a saucepan
of simmering water. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
In the bowl of your electric mixer, or with a hand mixer, beat the butter until smooth and creamy (about 1 minute). Add the sugar and beat until it is light and fluffy (about 2 minutes). Beat in the vanilla extract. Add the chocolate and beat on low speed until incorporated. Increase the speed to medium-high and beat until frosting is smooth and glossy (about 2 -3 minutes). Frosts 12 cupcakes.
*from the cookbook Chocolate Bar by Matt Lewis and Alison Nelson

Hard Shell Topping Recipe
This chocolate sauce hardens, forming a chocolate shell over a cold item (like ice cream). Freeze your cupcake as directed and dip cupcakes in this chocolate sauce to make the hard shell.

1/2 stick of butter
1/4 cup of oil

Melt chocolate and butter together in microwave at 15 second intervals until melted together. Then slowly stir in oil. Cool in refrigerator for about an hour then use. May be stored in refrigerator for about a week.

Tried this recipe last night and they were awesome! I haven't been to Kouzzina yet to try the real thing so I can't compare them, but they were pretty darn tastey. My DH who won't eat brussel sprouts even tried them and said he would eat them again.

DISNEY'S YACHT AND BEACH CLUB RESORT
COCONUT BARS WITH CHOCOLATE CHIPS

.
Looking at the amounts, I'd say at LEAST 8 by 8, if not more - although th bars could be thick. I LOVE coconut. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe & will try this when I'm back from DL, where I'm headed this week.

Mango Chutney which goes with the Spicy Potato and Pea Samosa recipe.
Yields 3 cups

2 1/2 pounds (5 each) mangos (small diced)
1 small green pepper (small diced)
1 small onion (small diced)
1 1/2 teaspoons Kosher salt
2/3 cup granulated sugar
2/3 cup white vinegar
1 large jalapeno pepper (chopped fine)
1/8 cup fresh ginger
2 cloves chopped garlic

Combine all ingredients into a large pot, and add enough water to cover. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to a simmer until all the liquid is cooked to about the thickness of honey. Do not overcook, as the mixture will thicken as it cools.

Prawns with Mixed Vegetables in Citrus Dressing
From Chef Christophe Coutanson (Disneyland Paris) for Heart of Romance Event in Tokyo Disneyland
Serves 4 as a first course

1⁄4 pound sugar snap peas, tough stems removed
3⁄4 pound carrots (about 4 to 5 medium carrots)
1⁄2 pound zucchini
1⁄2 large sweet red pepper
1⁄2 large sweet yellow pepper
2 oranges
1 grapefruit
1 lemon, juiced
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
1⁄2 teaspoon coarse salt, divided
3 tablespoons sesame oil
12 prawns or jumbo shrimp
2 tablespoons peanut oil
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
Salt and pepper

Thinly slice sugar snap peas lengthwise. Slice carrots, zucchini, and peppers lengthwise using the julienne blade on a mandolin. Alternatively, very thinly slice all of the vegetables into long pieces the width of a matchstick. Fill a large bowl with ice and cold water; set aside. Bring a large stockpot of salted water to a boil. Carefully place sliced vegetables into boiling water; boil for 11⁄2 minutes. Remove, and immediately transfer to prepared ice-water bath. Drain vegetables thoroughly in a sieve. Pat with paper towels to dry. Place in a large bowl; set aside. Cut peel, including the white pith, from oranges and grapefruit. Working over a small saucepan, carefully cut segments free from membranes. Cut segments into 1⁄2-inch pieces and place in a small bowl; set aside. Squeeze remaining juice from membranes into the saucepan. Place saucepan over high heat. Boil until juice is reduced and mixture is syrupy, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl; set aside to cool. When cool, whisk in lemon juice, sherry vinegar, and 1⁄4 teaspoon salt. Add sesame oil in a slow, steady stream, whisking to combine. Add dressing to vegetables in bowl, tossing to combine. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, and up to 4 hours. Sprinkle prawns with remaining 1⁄4 teaspoon salt. Heat peanut oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Sear prawns 2 minutes per side, or until firm and pink.

Add reserved broth-cornstarch mixture. Increase heat to high; bring to a simmer, and cook until thickened. Add vegetables and fish; toss gently to combine. Taste, and add additional soy sauce, if desired. Serve immediately over your favorite noodles and with vegetables (shown with asparagus).

Let steaks stand at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, or until they are no longer cold. Preheat oven to 225 degrees.

Transfer steaks to a baking sheet; place thyme sprigs and garlic atop each steak. Place 2 pieces of butter on each, and sprinkle lightly with Worcestershire sauce. Roast the meat until it is cooked to your preference, about 15 to 20 minutes for medium rare (steak should register 130 degrees on an instant-read thermometer for medium rare). Loosely cover steaks with foil and set aside to rest.

Simmer until the pan is nearly dry, about 2 minutes. Add chicken stock, veal or beef stock, soy sauce, pepper and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, about 25 minutes or until reduced by half. Taste, and add salt, if desired. Remove and discard bay leaves; stir in thyme. Keep warm until ready to serve.

GORGONZOLA-SPINACH BRUSCHETTA:
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Heat oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add garlic, tossing until fragrant and lightly golden, about 1 minute. Add spinach, salt, and pepper. Cook, tossing frequently, until slightly wilted. If needed, drain any excess liquid from the pan. Add cream, Gorgonzola, Parmesan, and nutmeg. Cook, stirring frequently, until thickened. Keep warm until ready to serve. Brush ciabatta slices with olive oil. Toast until lightly golden, about 5 minutes. Set aside.

TO SERVE: Cut the steak into 1⁄2-inch-thick slices on a bias. Place a piece of toasted ciabatta in the center of each serving plate. Evenly spoon spinach mixture atop bread slices. Top bruschetta with sliced steak. Spoon shiitake mushroom ragout around plate. Garnish with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, if desired.

Posting an update for the Chocolate Butterfinger Cup Cake from Starring Rolls, Disney Hollywood Studios, WDW. I have requested clarification regarding the instructions for making the Devil's Food cake because what I had was very vague. I got a response from Guest services today and here's the updated recipe for the cake part of the Cup Cake:

Devil’s Food Cake
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup boiling-hot water
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
1 1/4 cups firmly packed dark brown sugar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
4 large eggs, warmed in very warm water for 10 minutes
Bake in large Muffin Cup.

For Devil’s food cake:
1. Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Set
aside.
2. Combine boiling-hot water and cocoa powder in a separate medium
bowl, whisking until smooth. Whisk in milk and vanilla extract. Set
aside.
3. Combine butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar in a large bowl.
Beat with an electric mixer at medium-high speed until light and fluffy,
about 3 minutes. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition.
Reduce mixer speed to low. Alternately add flour mixture and cocoa
mixture in 3 batches, beginning and ending with flour. Mixing until just
combined.
4. Position oven racks in the upper and lower thirds of oven. Preheat
oven to 350°.
5. Bake in large Muffin cups for about 20-25 minutes. Cool down.

Cut out some cake from the middle of the muffin. Fill with chocolate fudge (use your favorite butter cream frosting) and top with cut out cake. Pipe butter cream around cake . Freeze and dip in chocolate coating. Immediately drizzle with crushed butter finger.

Has anyone tried this recipe for Dole Whips? :confused3

Pineapple Dole Whips (A "copycat" recipe)

Prep: 10 min.
Freeze: 3 hrs.
Makes: 8 servings

2 cans (20 oz. each) DOLE Crushed Pineapple
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons lime juice
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup chopped maraschino cherries, mini marshmallow or mini chocolate chips, (optional)
1-1/2 cups heavy whipping cream, whipped

Drain pineapple; reserve 2 tablespoons juice. Set aside.
Place pineapple, lemon juice, lime juice, sugar and reserved pineapple juice in blender or food processor container. Cover; blend until smooth. Stir in cherries or marshmallow or chips, if desired.
Pour into two 1-quart freezer zipped bags. Store bags flat in freezer. Freeze about 1-1/2 hours or until slushy.
Stir gently pineapple slush into whipped cream until just blended, in large bowl. Return to freezer until completely frozen, about 1 hour. Serve.

I'm not a huge Dole whip fan, although I like it alright - my first bite of Dole whip always tastes really chemically to me, like my brain has to translate the chemicals into a familiar taste and it takes a second. So after that first bite, I like Dole whip. ;) Since this didn't have that "What the heck?" moment, I liked this a tad better. The taste is very close I thought.

I lost track of time and let the pineapple freeze hard, then broke it into pieces and beat it with my Kitchen Aid mixer (it bent the whisk :scared1: ). I thought it was still kind of chunky, but when I mixed it into the whipped cream everything smoothed out and the texture was perfect. Except for the occasional tiny thread from the pineapple pulp. :p You could maybe eliminate those by not scraping the whisk, or by scraping it more carefully than I did, since it kind of collects them.

The texture isn't quite as perfect once it's been in the freezer a bit (if your freezer's set quite cold - I had it in an upright), but if I let it set out 15 minutes or so it was about right. If I'd kept it in my "ice cream" freezer, I suspect it would have been too soft.

We ate there last Thurs for the first time and loved it too! I was on here looking for the recipe for the chocolate mouse with olive oil and salted caramel sauce. It was part of the creamy indulgance dessert trio and it was amazing!

For the roasted garlic cream sauce:
Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add shallot, and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add wine and lemon juice, stirring to combine. Cook until reduced by half, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.
Add cream, Roasted Garlic Puree, salt, and pepper, whisking to combine. Simmer (do not boil) until sauce is slightly thickened, about 4 to 5 minutes. Set aside.

For the mussels:
Place mussels, wine, and water in a large stockpot over high heat. Cover and bring to a boil.
Cook until mussels open, about 4 minutes. Remove and discard any mussels that do not open. Strain cooking liquid from mussels and discard liquid.
Place mussels in a large serving bowl, or in individual shallow bowls. Pour Roasted Garlic Cream Sauce over mussels, and garnish with parsley, dill, and chives. Serve immediately

This thread is SO great! I have copied over a few and I can't wait to make more WDW recipes until the next trip.
I have checked the index and can't find two recipes I would LOVE to have! We had a delicious dinner at The Wave this month and I would like to make the black bean soup with pork tenderloin at home, as well as the avocado citrus salad.
Anyone have these??

Avocado Citrus Salad
The Wave, Disney's Contemporary Resort
4 Cups of your favorite Lettuce Greens
½ cup of frisee, hand torn
1 Cup of Diced Haas Avocado
1 Cup of Orange Segments
1 Cup of Grapefruit Segments
1 pinch of salt
1 pinch of pepper
¼ cup of Citrus Vinaigrette

1. Mix all Vegetables and Fruit in a bowl
2. Season with Salt and Pepper
3. Pour dressing over salad and toss gently

Citrus Vinaigrette
2/3 cup Canola oil
1/3 cup White Balsamic Vinegar
1/4 cup Fresh squeezed Orange Juice
¼ teaspoon chopped shallots
¼ teaspoon chopped parsley
¼ teaspoon chopped chives
1 tablespoon fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 pinch salt
1 pinch black pepper

1. Combine vinegar, shallots, chives, lemon juice, orange juice and
parsley and add to a blender or food processor. Blend for 3-4 minutes
until well incorporated.
2. Slowly add in oil while the blender is running
3. Continue to blend, an additional 3-4 minutes, adding salt and
pepper.

Black Bean Chili (Black Bean soup with pork tenderloin)
The Wave, Disney's Contemporary Resort
For the beans
4 cups dried black beans
5 cups water
5 cups chicken stock
2 tea spoon salt

For the chili
1 ea pork skin
¼ cup olive oil
¾ cup diced yellow onion
1 table spoon minced garlic
1 tea spoon minced ginger
½ teaspoon minced jalapeño pepper
1 gallon ham stock
¾ pound ham hock meat
1 table spoon tomato paste
Pinch ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon ground cumin
1/3 teaspoon siracha sauce
2 ½ pounds pork loin

1. To cook beans: combine water, chicken stock and salt in a medium
pot. Add beans and bring to a simmer. Cook until lightly tender but do
not overcook, beans will finish cooking when added to the chili. Drain
off stock and cool completely.
2. To prepare the chili: heat a large pot and brown pork loin. Add
all veggies and sauté until tender. Add pepper, cumin and tomato paste.
Deglaze with half of the stock. Reduce until thickened. It should
resemble a good marinara. Add remaining stock and beans and bring to a
simmer. Add salt and reduce until chili has some body (thickness,
consistency) taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve with corn bread muffins.

Corn Bread Muffins
1 cup Corn Meal
2 cup All Purpose Flour
1 1/2 cups Sugar
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Baking Powder
2 cup Canola Oil
7 ea Eggs
2 cups Milk
¼ cup canned jalapeño, chopped

well, until smooth. Place batter into muffins tins and bake at 375
degrees for 20-30 minutes.

My daughter loved the chicken they served at Spirit of Aloha! Does anyone have the recipe for that? Thanks!

Could this be what you meant?

Ginger Chicken Marinade
Spirit of Aloha Dinner Show Polynesian
Yield: 1/2 quart marinade

1 tablespoon Granulated onion
1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard
3 tablespoons Fresh ground ginger
To Taste Hot chili sauce
2 tablespoons Fresh minced garlic
Pinch ground black pepper
1/4 cup Soy Sauce
1 Bay leaf
1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons canola oil
1/4 teaspoon Five spices (Blend of: cinnamon, fennel, anise seed, crushed pepper, and diced ginger)
1/4 teaspoon Salt

1. Wash, peel and mince the ginger. Peel and mince garlic.
2. In a food processor, combine ginger, garlic, bay leaves, soy sauce, Dijon Mustard, chili, granulated onion, black pepper, salt, five spices, and cumin.
3. Blend at medium speed until smooth and pasty then slowly add Canola oil.
4. Check seasoning to taste. Add marinade to chicken pieces, mix well and store in refrigerator for 12 hours.
5. Place chicken pieces in roasting pan; set oven temperature at 350 degrees and bake about 40 minutes until a nice golden brown color. (Use cooked juice to baste the chicken before serving.) Digital thermometer may be used to check cooking temperature; must be 165 degrees F and above.

There's not too much point in posting recipe requests for Yak and Yeti, Raglan Road or any other place that is not a Disney-run restaurant as guest services cannot get the recipes. You'd need to contact the management of these places and see if they can help.

7. On top of the vegetables place 2 mint leaves and 2 basil leaves.
