Does anyone have the recipe for Tamarin Barbecue Sauce? they used to have it at Cali grill. TIA

The Tamarind Sauce used to be served with the Beef Filet as in the menu item: "Oak-fired Beef Filet with Three Cheese Potato Gratin, Asparagus, and Tamarind Barbecue Sauce". The Sauce is no longer on the menu and has been replaced with the TERIYAKI SAUCE as in: "Oak-fired Filet of Beef with Potatoes, Bacon, Pearl Onions, Mushrooms and Teriyaki Barbecue Sauce" - (from a Jan. 2008 menu.)

The good news is, the Teriyaki Barbecue Sauce is the same basic recipe as the Tamarind Barbecue Sauce and both are great served on grilled beef filet.

TERIYAKI SAUCE
California Grill, Disney’s Contemporary Resort
Yield: 1 quart

1 cup Aji-Mirin
1 cup soy sauce
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 each garlic cloves, chopped
1 tbsp ginger, chopped

In a stockpot, add mirin and soy sauce, bring to boil.
Before liquid comes to a boil, add granulated and brown sugars.
Bring to a soft boil, then reduce to a simmer. Simmer 1 hour and 15 minutes, then strain through a china cap*. Skim any foam that appears after straining.
Then pass through chinois before bagging, then cool.

* Also called a bouillon strainer or chinois. It is used to strain sauces, stocks and pureed soups; is ultra-fine and will remove tiny seeds and fiber.

Tamarind BBQ Sauce
California Grill, Disney’s Contemporary Resort

Same as above but add 1/2 cup pure **tamarind concentrate (paste) to the mirin and soy sauce in step 1. Use non reactive saucepan. Stir to dissolve tamarind, loosening the strands. Continue as above.

**Tamarind pulp tastes like dates mixed with lemon and peaches. It is sour and acidic so use it like you would lemon juice.

I love cooking Greek recipes. So often they are simple recipes with "simple" ingredients yet with tremendous flavor! The dressing in this recipe is a perfect example. Of course, I would leave out the olives. I know, strange for a person who loves Greek food! heehee I love bread dipped in good olive oil, yet olives are nasty! And then there are grapes and capers. The only three things I will not eat!

Interesting how people's taste buds are. I love capers and olives. esp when mixed in a dish like Pasta Putanesca.
I also love a good tapenade with crusty bread. Have you ever tried that? It might fool you into thinking there's no actual olives in the recipe,

Okay, I think I found one that's not listed. While I absolutely love the Almond Crusted Cheesecake at Narcoossee's, my niece feels the same way about the White Chocolate Cheesecake at Kona's. In fact, when we were able to arrange for her to join us on our last visit (as a surprise for my DD8-DN25 is in Utah at grad school) the thing she wanted to make sure of was that we were going to go to Kona's during her visit. I assured her that we would be going twice, once on the night of her arrival-she was very happy! And while she liked the one at Narcoossee's, her heart still lies with the one from Kona.

I tried doing a search and couldn't find it anywhere-anyone have it?

TIA!

I've only got the one from the now closed Ariel's at the Beach Club Resort. It was delicious. Disney is pretty good about getting back with requests if you feel like contacting them:
General Guest Mail: guest.mail@wdw.disneyonline.com

I'd love to have that one as wel in case they send it to you.

Quick update on the Guiness Stew Day 2.
I added another pound of browned beef cubes and 2 cubed potatoes, then let it simmer uncovered for 40". I served it with the Baking Powder Biscuits from "Cooking With Mickey VL. II".
It was MUCH better. The stew was the right texture and the broth was very good. Mom loved the biscuits and immediately took the recipe book so she can make them for a party this weekend with the Boma Squash soup. Gotta love those Disney recipes!

Thanks!

That sounds yummy. I'm putting together a Disney menu for DS's birthday dinner next week and am spoiled for choice! I thought about doing the Ohana potatoes but this sure sounds good too.

Original Cheesecake
Wonderland Café, Disney Quest

Crust Ingredients:
1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/3 cup melted margarine


Filling Ingredients:
4 8-ounce pkgs. cream cheese
1 ¼ cups granulated sugar
½ cup sour cream
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
5 eggs

Topping Ingredients:
½ cup sour cream
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
Canned whipped cream (optional)

1. Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Place a large pan or oven-safe skillet (that the cheesecake pan will fit inside) filled with about ½-inch of water into the oven while it preheats. This will be your water bath.
2. Combine 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs and ¼ teaspoon cinnamon into a medium bowl. Mix in 1/3 cup melted margarine. Press the crumb into a 9-inch spring form pan that has been lined on the bottom and side with parchment paper. Use the bottom of a drinking glass to press the crumb mixture into the bottom of the pan and about 2/3 the way up the side. Wrap a large piece of foil around the bottom of the pan to keep the cheesecake dry when placed in the water bath in the oven. Put the crust in your freezer until the filling is done.
3. Use an electric mixer to combine the cream cheese with sugar, sour cream, and vanilla. Blend mixture for a couple of minutes or until the ingredients are smooth and creamy. Be sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Whisk the eggs in a medium bowl and then add them to the cream cheese mixture. Blend the mixture just enough to integrate the eggs.
4. Remove the crust from the freezer and pour the filling into it.
5. Carefully place the cheesecake into the preheated water bath. Bake for 12 minutes at 475 degrees, then turn the oven down to 350 degrees and bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until the top of the cheesecake turns a light brown or tan color. Remove the cheesecake from the oven to cool.
6. When the cheesecake has cooled, combine ½ cup sour cream and 2 teaspoons sugar. Spread the sweetened sour cream over the entire top surface of the cheesecake. Cover and chill the cheesecake in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours. To serve, slice the cheesecake into 12 equal portions. Apply a pile of canned whipped cream to the top of each slice and serve. Makes 12 servings.
