Рецепт Can I Get the Recipe? Week 2, Vol I - July 11, 2009
by Cari Snell

Directions:

For the sauce heat the olive oil over medium heat until it shimmers. Add the onion and cook until soft, about three minutes. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes then cook until fragrant, 30 seconds to a minute.

Add the diced tomatoes with the liquid and stir to combine. Add the sugar, fresh herbs - except the basil, and salt then bring to a simmer.

Put the mixture in the blender, along with the basil, and process until smooth, about two to three minutes on high. Pour back into the pot and return to the heat and bring back to a simmer. Turn off the heat and add the cream. Stir to combine.

Preheat the broiler and line a baking sheet with parchment, then spray with vegetable oil.

To prepare the meatballs combine the turkey, carrots, onion, garlic, bread crumbs, and egg. Mix until combined.

Add the herbs, salt, pepper, and cheese. Mix well.

With a small disher, about two tablespoons, scoop out the meatballs into the prepared sheet pan. You should get between 25 and 30 meatballs. Top with a dash of the paprika.

Bake under the broiler for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the meatballs reach an internal temperature of 165 F.

While the meatballs are in the oven prepare the pasta according to the package directions.

To serve put the pasta in a serving bowl and toss with half the sauce. Add the meatballs to the serving dish and drizzle the remaining sauce on top. Garnish with fresh grated parmesan cheese and torn basil.

Dinner Two: Red Snapper with Vegetable Ribbons

Ingredients:

2 zucchini or yellow squash

2 carrots, peeled

*4 red snapper fillets with skin, 6-8 oz each

2 tablespoons butter

1/2 tablespoon olive oil

2 tablespoons chopped dill for garnish

Salt and pepper

*Fish substitutions: striped bass, halibut, cod, haddock, hake, sable, steelhead trout, or salmon. In other word any thick fish (1 inch or thicker) that is not too dense (so avoid swordfish, tuna, and mahi)

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 400F.

Cut zucchini in half lengthwise and shave zucchini and carrots into ribbons with a peeler. Put in a bowl and set aside.

Dry fish well on paper towels and generously season with salt and pepper on both sides.

Set a large oven-proof non-stick or cast iron skillet over high heat. Add 1 Tbsp of butter. When butter is melted, add the fish skin side down and cook without disturbing until browned, 2-3 minutes. If using fish without skin, flip it over. If using fish with skin, don't flip it so that the veggies don't make the skin soggy.

Drizzle veggie ribbons with 1/2 Tbsp olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper and pile on top of the fish. Place the pan in the middle of the oven for 8 minutes per inch of thickness of the fish. 2 minutes before the estimated cooking time, top each fillet with 1/4 Tbsp butter. To check for doneness, separate the flakes with a fork. Fish is done if the flakes separate without much resistance even if some parts still look translucent.

Sprinkle with dill and serve.

Dinner Three: Perfect Burger (with Fries)

Ingredients - Burgers:

1 1/2 to 2 pounds ground round

Salt and pepper to taste

4 whole grain hamburger buns

Extra virgin olive oil

Cheese for topping if desired

4 leaves romaine or green leaf lettuce

1 large tomato, sliced

1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced

Ingredients – Fries:

4 russet potatoes, with peel

4 tablespoons vegetable oil plus some for greasing the baking sheet

1 teaspoon kosher salt

Directions:

To make the fries, preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Prepare baking sheet by greasing it with a little vegetable oil. Slice potatoes into wedges. Toss with vegetable oil and season with salt. Place in oven and cook 40 – 45 minutes, tossing twice while cooking, until cooked and golden.

Prepare the grill. Divide and gently shape the meat into 4 patties. Season liberally with salt and pepper. Grill meat to desired doneness; about 4 to 6 minutes per side over a medium hot fire. Be careful not to overcook, which will dry out the meat. If you're a cheeseburger fan, add the cheese as soon as you flip to the second side. Meanwhile, brush buns with olive oil and grill just until lightly toasted. Dress burgers with lettuce, tomatoes and onions and serve.
