subscribing and looking for the recipe for the Monte Cristo they used to have at a few places, including the All Star Resorts. Boy I miss that!

Monte Crisco Sandwich
This is the famous Monte Cristo sandwich recipe from the Blue Bayou, Disneyland
4 sandwiches 40 minutes prep


Monte Cristo Sandwich is served with currant jelly sauce. First prepare this, then make the batter. While it is chilling, put together the sandwiches. When the sandwiches are fried, the complete service is ready.
Currant Jelly Sauce
12 ounces red currant jelly (another version calls for 2/3 cup)
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon half-and-half
Method: Combine jelly, water and half and half in blender and mix until smooth. Makes about 3/4 cup.

Fruit Compote
1 (12 ounce) jar of red currant jelly
1 (15 ounce) canned peaches. (or choose your favorite canned fruit).
Method: Combine your favorite fresh and canned fruits and chill well. Yield is about 1/2 cup per person.

Batter
2/3 cup water
1 small egg
½ teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 ¾ tsp. baking powder
Method: Place water, egg, salt, and pepper in a bowl and using an electric mixer, mix well at low speed. Add flour and baking powder and mix until batter is smooth. Chill.

Sandwiches
8 slices white bread
4 slices roasted cooked turkey ( 1 ounce per sandwich)
4 slices Tillamook Swiss cheese ( 1 ounce per sandwich)
4 slices smoked ham (Pullman)
vegetable oil, for frying

Make 4 sandwiches, putting cheese between ham and turkey. Cut into fourths and put a toothpick through each quarter.
Heat about 6" of soybean or vegetable oil to 340 degrees in a fryer. Dip sandwiches in batter to cover all surfaces. Deep fry sandwiches until golden brown, turning as needed. An alternate way of frying it to put approximately 1/4" oil in a large pan and fry the sandwiches on both sides until crispy and brown.
Remove from oil and take out toothpicks. Drain on paper towel to remove excess oil. Sprinkle sandwiches with confectioners' sugar. Serve with fruit compote and currant jelly sauce.

What to Drink: Canoe Ridge, Merlot, Columbia Valley, Washington has a core of pure black cherry and blackberry, and rich full body that stands up to the grilled rosemary flavors.

I was toying with the idea of going to Disney World during my vacation at the beginning of January (even though nobody else wants to go with me at this time, LOL), so for the heck of it I put in a lowball bid at Skyauction for a Condo/Resort rental in Orlando. I wasn't expecting to get it for $4.00 (plus their base cost of $295) for seven nights, but I did. I think I found a $500 flight from Vancouver ,so looks like I'll be going solo on January 5. I'm going to call WDW dining tomorrow and see if there's any restaurants I can still book. I'll take the request list along with me and try my hardest to sweet talk the chefs into giving me the recipes. Also have to check the other Dis threads about scoring some cheap entrance tickets.

Just wondering if anyone has made the NY Strip Steaks with Jack Daniels Glaze from Yachtsman Steakhouse? It is on my list of Disney recipes to try-sounds delish!

Just wondering if anyone has made the NY Strip Steaks with Jack Daniels Glaze from Yachtsman Steakhouse? It is on my list of Disney recipes to try-sounds delish!

I made them last summer and here were the comments I wrote at the time:

The glaze is on the sweet side and I added chives for balance. Marinade and glaze are very good if you like a sweeter taste.

Made this tonight and it's fast and very good.

I received this recipe from WDW today. It's the Griddled Pumpkin Bread that is no longer being served at the Liberty Tree Tavern. It was served with the Cider-cured Salmon, which is no longer on the menu.

Pumpkin Bread
1 tsp ground nutmeg
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp Kosher salt
2 tsps baking soda
3 cups sugar
3 cups flour
1 TBS water
1 cup canola oil
4 large eggs
1 cup canned pumpkin

Blend dry ingredients together. Blend all wet ingredients together. Slowly add wet to dry ingredients. Portion into 4 oz "biscuits." Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. If toothpick comes out dry, "Bread" is done.

Thanks for the new recipe Lu -Ann. It's always exciting to read and collect a new one because I have most of the ones in the cookbooks or circulating online.

Ripe Plantain Casserole with Avocado
Epcot Food and Wine Festival, Dominican Republic
Serves 4

I made the above casserole tonight (p. 28) even though, after a week of trying to force-ripen them, 5 out of 6 plantains were still green and hard. However,the other ingredients - also purchased a week ago- were going, so I went ahead.
With soft, ripe plantains this is potentially a very good recipe. It's like layering mashed potatoes with fried vegetables and cheese. With the mashed vegetable making up a good part of the dish (my plantains were large), it's important that their texture be right. Since mine were still so green, the "mash" was drier and crumblier than it should have been. I could probably have added a lot more butter to make it creamier, but I didn't want the extra calories.
I mashed the avocado garnish so it was like the dish that reader Lu-Ann had in Epcot. All in all, a good recipe and my son had a huge helping. I'll make it again if I can find some very soft and ripe plantains.

I booked the restaurants I wanted today for WDW, and I guess there's something to be said for traveling solo and in low season because I easily got everything I wanted. I've booked Boma, Whispering Canyon, California Grill, and Le Cellier. For the rest, I plan to just drop by (if I'm hungry), and take my chances.

I want to try this recipe but there seems to be a time missing or maybe I'm not reading it right...

"Add the barley and lentils and cook for an additional ____ minutes, or until the greens are well coated in oil."

Also are "the greens" mentioned the lentils or the scallions?

Thanks,

Still waiting for the Food and Wine festival recipe or can you tell me where to buy the cookbook?

I want to try this recipe but there seems to be a time missing or maybe I'm not reading it right...

"Add the barley and lentils and cook for an additional ____ minutes, or until the greens are well coated in oil."

Also are "the greens" mentioned the lentils or the scallions?

Thanks,

"Heat half the oil in a 3 - 4 quart heavy pot over moderate heat and add the scallion, squash and cayenne, stirring until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the barley and lentils and cook for an additional minute, or until the grains are well coated in oil.
Stir in the stock and bring the liquid to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until all the liquid is absorbed and the grains are tender, about 30 minutes.
Remove the pan from the heat and let stand, covered, for 10 minutes. Stir in the remaining oil, vinegar and season to taste with salt and pepper."


Ack, above is the corrected sentence. I didn't catch the error after I typed it from the cookbook because the Spellcheck wasn't indicating that the words were a mistake.

This is such a tastely salad or side dish and I'm going to go back and make sure there's no other mistakes in the recipe.

So sorry about that

1 cup chili-garlic sauce
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper

FOR THE BLUE CHEESE DRESSING
1/2 cup blue cheese dressing

1/2 cup finely chopped celery
Pinch of freshly ground black pepper

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Heat the oil in a large sauté pan and cook the shallot and garlic until soft. Add the beer and the remaining glaze ingredients and bring liquid to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until reduced by half. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside to cool.
Arrange the chicken drums in a baking dish, large enough to hold the drums in one layer. Pour the cooled beer glaze over the chicken and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, basting occasionally.
In the meanwhile, combine the ingredients for the blue cheese dressing in a small bowl. Taste for seasoning and divide the sauce among six small ramekins.
To serve, divide the drums among six plates, drizzle with a little of the glaze and place a ramekin of blue cheese dressing on the side for dipping the chicken.
