YIELD: 6 Servings

1 lb steamed & chilled shrimp
2 ½ cups cooked quinoa

AllEars.net has updated. In the past, llyninpa asked us to post the recipes here so we don't use links. How do we all feel about that? Would you rather just go to All Ears net? They posted quite a few of my submissions so those are already posted here. The Tusker House Caple Malay Lamb Curry is the same recipe as Boma's and is already posted the difference is the Tusker House recipe makes at least double the portion.

Review: I made the Roasted Vegetable Pizza (p. 139) and the Roasted Shallot Vinaigrette (page 140) last night and the pizza is very good. The Vinaigrette is one of the best dressings I've ever had. It makes you want to eat lots of salad!

Sukiyaki (Sweet Soy Beef and Vegetable Hot Pot)
Yakitori House, Japan - Epcot
Yield: 4 serving servings
Prep time: 45 minutes

1 pound Beef (paper thin slice)
1 large Onion
1 Bunch Green Onion
½ pound Carrot
2 Packs Japanese Noodle

Sukiyaki Sauce
1/5 Cup Soy Sauce
1/5 Cup Mirin (Sweet cooking Sake)
1 Cup Dashi (Fish Stock)

Dashi
1 Cup Water
1 inch square Konbu (Sea Weed)
1/2 Cup Bonito Flakes

How to make dashi:
1. Place in a saucepan with konbu and water and soak for 2 hours.
2. Bring saucepan to a rapid simmer over high heat.
3. Remove saucepan from heat, adding bonito flakes.
4. Let stand for 3 minutes, strain through into a bowl.

Method of Preparation
Cut all ingredients into bite-sized pieces. Arrange all ingredients on a large plate and place the plate at the table. Mix Sukiyaki Sauce ingredients. Heat sukiyaki pot at table (electric fry pan or skillet is OK) and heat 1 tablespoon oil in pot. Add beef slices and sear on both sides, then pour sukiyaki sauce in the pan. Add other ingredients when the sauce starts to boil. Simmer until all ingredients are softened.

Cooks Note: Sukiyaki is a very popular one-pot meal in Japan. The main ingredient is thin sliced beef, and it is simmered in a skillet or pan in the sukiyaki sauce with many vegetables and other ingredients. The quality of beef used in Sukiyaki is very important. You might want to ask a butcher to slice the tender part of the beef into very thin slices. The best beef for sukiyaki is called "shimofuri" beef in Japan. Shimofuri beef has lots of fat, but it's very tender and is also very expensive. Sukiyaki is usually cooked at the table, and it's common to eat with others from the same pan.
 
Does anyone have the recipe for the crab mac and cheese at Shulas? I have looked everywhere I can think of!

I'll add it to the request list when I do the update today. I checked the Swan & Dolphin archives & it isn't there and I don't have it on my list either. The archives only go back to Jan 2004, but I have a couple that are from 2002 & 2003. I'm really upset that I didn't keep up with the recipe club back then. I thought the recipes would stay online...didn't realize they'd get bumped off. :(

For anyone who hasn't found the archives list, here is the link: http://www.swandolphin.com/recipeclub/archives.html
If you want to join their monthly recipe mailing list, there is a link at the bottom of this page: http://swandolphin.com/dining/index.html You only need to provide an email & first name - even though they ask for more.

Since no one else has answered, I'll give my opinion. I used to go out & search for new recipes all the time. But more recently, I've gotten lazy about it. I'm really getting spoiled with all the recipes being in one spot (here) & find that I really like it. :teeth: So I'd like to see them posted - but will be happy with what everyone else wants to do.

Thanks for all the new recipes! :thumbsup2 And can I just say that the use of color for the recipe names is really a nice touch. ::yes:: It really makes them stand out even more than just adding the bold.

Since we were talking about the Swan & Dolphin today, I thought I'd post a few of those recipes.

I just wrote the Swan and Dolphin that they should be publishing recipes from the actual restaurants (or crediting them) when they send that monthly recipe because I want to see recipes from Blue Zoo, Il Mulino, Garden Grove and Fresh.

They wrote back: "Glad to see you like the recipes as much as we do! Recipes actually come from our chefs throughout the property, not just the restaurants. Naturally, some recipes are "top-secret", so they do not give them out!
Thanks for being a member of our club!"

NMW - maybe you can contact Audrey Cornu (who wrote back to me) at acornu@swandolphin.com and see if she'd pass on the request for Shulas Crab Mac and Cheese.

Place flour and cinnamon in a medium mixing bowl. In a separate small bowl, combine and whisk together yolks, whole eggs and milk. Slowly whisk the wet ingredients into the dry until smooth. Combine butter and vanilla bean in a saucepan; melt butter and whisk together. Add melted butter to crepe batter. Using an 8” nonstick sauté pan, make crepes. Stack crepes on top of each other, cover with a damp cloth until ready for use.

For Apple Filling:
Peel, core and cut apples into a large dice. Preheat a large sauté pan. When it is very hot, add the sugar and allow to melt and caramelize until amber in color. Add the diced apples and lemon juice. Sauté quickly, then add the brandy. The brandy will flame up so be careful. Remove from stove and pour the diced apples into a large bowl.
In a food processor, place one third of the sautéed apples, all of the brown sugar and the melted butter. Pureé until smooth. Stir back into the remaining sautéed apples and allow the filling to cool.

For Applesauce:
Place ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 10 minutes then remove from heat and allow to steep for 10 to 20 minutes. Strain through a cloth. Cool in an ice bath. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Mix with apple filling and place 3 tablespoons of apple mixture in the center of a cinnamon crepe. Fold over the edges to create a round puck shape. Fill remaining crepes and cover with a damp towel until ready to serve.

For Ginger Ice Cream:
Place the cream, milk, 1 cup of sugar and the ginger in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer then remove from heat and allow to steep for 20 to 30 minutes. Place the egg yolks and remaining ½ cup sugar in a medium bowl and stir to combine. Put the ginger mixture back on the heat and bring to a full boil. Quickly whisk the boiling mixture into the yolks and sugar. Strain the mixture through a fine chinois and place into an ice bath to cool. Process in an ice cream machine.

For Cabernet Reduction Sauce:
Bring the cabernet and sugar together in a saucepan on a medium heat for about 15 to 20 minutes or until mixture reaches a thick consistency. Let cool and set aside.

For Tahitian Cream Anglais:
In a saucepan, bring the milk, cream, vanilla beans and half of sugar to a boil. Reduce heat and maintain at a simmer. In a medium bowl, combine the remaining sugar and yolks. Whisk until smooth. Temper the egg yolks by adding one third of the hot cream and place over medium heat, stirring constantly with a spatula. When the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon, remove from heat and strain through a fine sieve. Chill in an ice bath.

For Fillo Crisp:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Carefully spread a sheet of fillo dough on a flat surface. Lightly brush the dough with the butter. Place another sheet of dough on top. Repeat the process until all four sheets have been used. Cut the dough into desired shape. Lightly sprinkle sugar on a parchment-lined sheet tray. Place the dough shapes on the sugar and lightly sprinkle the dough with more sugar. Place a second sheet of parchment paper on top of the dough. Cover with another sheet tray, creating a sandwich. Bake until golden brown, 15 minutes. Allow to cool. Store in an airtight container.

1/16 lb Plantain chips - ground
1/16 lb Corn flakes - ground

Mix ingredients together.
Coat fish and deep fry.
Serves: 4 (Makes 2 ounces of coating.)

[NOTE: We tried this coating, but didn't deep fry it. We spayed a non-stick pan with olive oil. The result was nothing like what's served at GG...it was very bland. Everyone agreed that it wasn't so much the difference in frying method as much as it was the oil in the deep fryer picks up flavor from everything else that's been fried in it. We tried it a 2nd time & put a bit of cajun spice in with the plantain/corn flake mix and quite liked it. But in the end decided that we'd just sprinkle the cajun spice on the fish & bake it.]

Marinade:
Dash white pepper powder
Salt to taste
Sugar to taste
1 tsp water
1 tsp cooking wine
½ tsp Sesame oil

Batter:
¾ c all-purpose flour
¼ c cornstarch
1 heaping Tbl baking powder

1 Tbl cornstarch
Pinch salt
1 Tbl cooking oil

1. For sauce, mix all ingredients except oil and orange peel. Heat oil in frying pan. Stir-fry chopped orange peel until fragrant. Pour orange-sauce mixture into frying pan and heat sauce over medium high heat. Stir until mixture bubbles. Set aside and keep warm.

2. For chicken, mix dry ingredients. Add oil. Stir in water. Put mixture aside 30 minutes. Heat cooking oil to 320 F. Dredge chicken in batter mixture, coating well. Using tongs, lower chicken pieces into hot oil. Fry until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.

[Recipe note: Garnish with orange slice and chopped green onions.]
{Editorial note: Nutty sesame oil is a key ingredient, and you'll notice it is used sparingly. That's because the flavor is so distinctive. Sesame oil is high in polyunsaturated fats ranking fourth behind safflower, soybean and corn oil.}

COCONUT PINEAPPLE CARAMEL DELITE DOME
Animal Kingdom Lodge, from Pastry Chef Edward Villacorta (from the Orlando Sentinel)
Yield: 12 servings.

4 boxes Caramel deLite cookies *

Coconut pineapple filling:
3 cups coconut milk
1 cup water
1 2/3 cups sugar
1 cup cornstarch
1/2 cup water
2 cups pineapples, diced and cooked
1 tablespoon brown sugar for pineapples
1/2 cup shredded coconut, toasted

1. In a saucepan, cook the diced pineapples with the brown sugar for about 3 minutes. Set aside to completely cool.
2. To prepare coconut pineapple filling, using a medium-size stainless-steel pot, combine coconut milk, sugar and 1 cup water and bring to a boil. Make a slurry with the cornstarch and 1/2 cup water in a separate bowl. As soon as the coconut milk boils, stir in the dissolved cornstarch and stir vigorously until the mixture thickens and boils for the second time. Add the cooked pineapples in the mixture and then set aside the filling to cool in room temperature.
3. Toast shredded coconut in a 325 F oven for about 7 minutes or more until you get a golden brown color. Set aside to cool.
4. To assemble the dome, prepare 10-inch-by-3 1/2-inch-deep metal bowl, by lining the inside with plastic wrap. Place 1 layer of Caramel deLite Cookies (about 24 pieces or 1 1/2 boxes) on the bottom of the bowl, the top of the cookies facing down. Start from the center of the bowl and work your way up the sides of the bowl. Go all the way to the top. Use cookies cut in half for the top, so that you can get a straight edge on the top. This is to ensure a straight edge when the dome is inverted for the finished cake.
5. Place a third of the slightly cooled filling over the cookies and sprinkle a layer of roughly chopped Caramel deLite cookies ( about 10 pieces) over it. Spread the rest of the filling over the middle cookie layer evenly and lay one layer of Caramel deLite Cookies (about 20 pieces) with the chocolate side up. This will serve as the bottom of the cake when inverted. Place the bowl in the refrigerator and let it set for an hour.
6. To unmold, lay a 10-inch cakeboard on the top of the bowl and gently invert the dome. Remove the plastic wrap. Cover the bottom edge of the dome with toasted coconut and serve.

Cooks Note: These Girl Scout cookies are wafers covered in chocolate, caramel and coconut.

Chocolate Spice Soufflé

Serves 6 - 8

2 tablespoons butter, softened, plus additional for soufflé dish
1/2 cup granulated sugar plus additional for soufflé dish
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
3/4 teaspoon ground allspice
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup milk
5 large eggs
5 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, melted and cooled (do not use unsweetened)

1. Lightly butter and sugar a 1 1/2-quart soufflé dish, shaking out any excess sugar.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, ginger, allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg.
3. In a 2-quart saucepan, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and stir in the flour mixture. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat and add the milk, whisking constantly. Return to the heat and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes, or until the mixture boils. Cook, stirring, about 2 minutes longer, or until the batter pulls away from the side of the pan.
4. Remove the sauce pan from the heat and stir in the egg yolks and the melted chocolate. Transfer to a bowl and set aside to cool completely.
5. Preheat the oven to 375°F. In a bowl with an electric mixer, beat the egg whites and the remaining 1/2 cup sugar just to stiff peaks. Fold the egg whites into the cooled chocolate batter.
6. Transfer the cooled chocolate batter to the prepared soufflé dish; it should be about one quarter full. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until well risen. Serve immediately.

Cooks Note: the spices add truly distinctive, unexpected flavors to the classic chocolate soufflé.

When the recipe says to "grease a large baking dish" how large is large? A 13X9" pyrex pan? Or a deep casserole dish?

Just hoping someone responds!

Just hoping someone responds!

My suggestion would be to put the bread into whatever you want to use before you start. Just to test it out. Make sure you have enough room for the pineapple, etc & some room to rise.

Most of Disney's other bread pudding recipes seem to call for similar amounts of eggs, milk & cream. You could check some of those to see what pan they tell you to use: The Chocolate Silk Bread Pudding posted on page 138 says to use a 10" cake pan. One of the Boma Banana Bread Pudding recipes on page 12 says to use a 9x9 square pan. The 1900 Park Fare recipe on page 55 says to use a loaf pan.
 
Thanks Piratesmate!

I am going to try it soon. Our VBS this year is a Hawaiian theme and I wanted to make this recipe for our teacher's breakfast mtng.
 
Does anyone have the recipe for the Banana and Butterscotch "Buzz from California Grill?

Thanks,
A
:cool1: :cool1: :happytv:

dessert.jpg


Banana and Butterscotch "Buzz" - Caramelized Bananas and Butterscotch Custard Stack with Caramel Sauce, Cocoa Nib and crunchy Plantain
California Grill, Contemporary Resort

Butterscotch Crème Brûlée
16 - 20 servings

7 cups heavy cream
2 Tahitian vanilla beans
12 ounces dark brown sugar
4 ounces water
½ tsp. white vinegar
1 cup heavy cream
1 ounce dark rum
Pinch salt
12 egg yolks

Split the vanilla beans and scrape the seeds from the pods. Add the seeds and the scraped husks to the heavy cream and bring to a boil. Allow the vanilla to steep in the cream for a minimum of 30 minutes.
Combine the dark brown sugar, water, and the vinegar in a heavy saucepan and cook, WITHOUT stirring, to 240°. Remove from the heat and stir in the remaining heavy cream, dark rum, and salt.
When the cream and vanilla have steeped enough, strain the cream to remove the husks. Whisk the yolks lightly to blend them. Add the vanilla flavored cream to the beaten egg yolks, slowly, whisking until well combined.
Whisk the butterscotch mixture into the yolk and cream mixture. At this point, time permitting, the crème brûlée base should be rested overnight. Rest the base under refrigeration due to the uncooked egg yolks it contains.
Divide the base equally between 15 shallow gratin dishes set on a very flat sheetpan. Place the pan directly on the deck of a 325° oven and add boiling water to the sheetpan until the water is a ¼ inch below the rims of the dishes. Bake until lightly set. Remove the pan of crèmes carefully from the oven and allow to cool in it. When they have come to room temperature, chill them.

(Different sugar toppings to try if serving on it’s own:
1. Dried brown sugar that is spread on a baking sheet and dry in oven or leave it out for a day or two.
2. In a blender, add brown sugar and blend until not quite a powder. Mix equal portions of granulated sugar and place on sheetpan lined with parchment. Dry in oven at 200° for an hour or so.)

Filo Squares
Yield: 15 each

5 Sheets Filo
½ pound butter
8 ounces Granulated Sugar

Butter first 3 sheets of filo. Brush butter on the 4th and 5th layer then sprinkle with Granulated Sugar. Score 3 X 5 on the entire pile of filo. Bake till golden brown.

Butterscotch Sauce
Yield: 1 cup

1 stick Butter, unsalted
1 cup Brown Sugar

Melt Butter in sauce pan. Add Brown Sugar and melt together, reduce until caramel forms.

Caramelized Bananas
2- 3 bananas, halved lengthwise and cut into 3” lengths
Sugar, for caramelizing

The restaurant dusts the bananas with sugar and caramelizes with a blowtorch. Alternatively, at home, you can roll the bananas in sugar, until coated. Spray cooking spray in a medium size nonstick pan, and heat over medium high heat. Add bananas and sugar. Cook bananas until light to golden brown underneath, about 4-5 minutes (you can lift with a spatula to peak). Be careful not to overcook or burn them (if you smell them browning, or see color in the pan, flip them right away). They should not be too soft. Gently flip bananas over to brown other side, turning heat down to medium. The second side will brown in about one minute. Set aside.

Edit: CG sent the 2 missing recipes so here goes:

Cocoa Nib/Hazelnut Tuile
YIELD: 4 5/8 pounds

16 Ounces Butter
16 Ounces Granulated Sugar
5 Ounces Glucose
5 Ounces Whole Milk
16 Ounces Hazelnut (chopped)
16 Ounces Cocoa Nibs

FRIED PLANTAINS
YIELD: 40 orders

5 each green plantains; peel keep in natural shape; slice thin #15 on deli slicer
1 ounce coffee-cocoa mix - see batch recipe below

1. Carefully peel 5 green plaintains trying best to retain natural shape. This should be done no earlier than 4:30 pm.
2. Slice plaintains on deli slicer #8 setting down the whole length of the plaintain trying to retain the natural shape. See chef for demo if unsure.3. In batches or 8-10, fry plaintains in fryer @ 350° turning plaintains to ensure crispy coloring evenly throughout chip while trying to keep their natural shape. If unsure see chef for demo.
4. Once plaintains are crispy on both sides let drain on marituffs and season both sides generously immediately so cocoa-coffee mix will adhere.
5. Store on a large plate lined with marituffs for service. Do not wrap.

COFFEE/COCOA MIX FOR PLAINTAINS
YIELD: 26 ounces
1 cup Valrhona cocoa powder
1 cup coffee grounds (fresh grind)
1 cup granulated sugar
¼ cup Kosher salt

Using a clean, dry stainless steel bowl, combine above ingredients and mix together very well to super combine.
Store, covered for up to 7 days.

To Assemble: Spoon Caramel Sauce on the dessert plate. Place the crème brûlée “napoleon” on this (2 squares of Filo that have been filled with Butterscotch Crème Brûlée) and spoon on more Caramel Sauce. Top with 2 slices of Caramelized Banana. Garnish with Cocoa Nib/Hazelnut Tuile, whipped cream and 1 slice of Crunchy Plantain.


*PS - piratesmate - you can probably remove the Blueberry Bliss request from the list. It was a seasonal dessert late last summer/early fall and is off the menu. It's doubtful anyone got the recipe and there's not much point keeping it on the request list :)
Regarding: 1439 & 1516: Jungle Juice page 97 - the Boma and Tusker House recipe are the same.

Can our resident chef tell us what a marituff is? - as in
Once plaintains are crispy on both sides let drain on marituffs
