Potato Leek Soup



Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 large leeks, white and light green parts only, sliced about 1/4″ thick
  • 1 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, roughly peeled and chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 3.5 cups low sodium chicken broth
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 4 oz. bacon, cooked and chopped into pieces smaller than a bite, larger than bacon bits.
  • shredded cheddar cheese.
  • chives, thin sliced (optional)

Directions

  1. Melt butter in stock pot
  2. Sweat leeks and garlic about 10 minutes
  3. Add potatoes, thyme, bay leaf, salt, pepper, broth. Bring to boil, then reduce to simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
  4. Remove thyme stems and bay leaf.

  7. Serve in bowls topped with chives and cheddar.

Crock-pot Mac & Cheese


Ingredients

  • 4 cups uncooked elbow macaroni
  • 8 tbsp (one stick) unsalted butter
  • 5 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 (10 3/4 ounce) cans Campbell’s cheddar cheese soup (or equivalent brand).
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 cup milk
  • 1 tsp dry mustard
  • 1 tsp black pepper

Directions

  1. Boil the macaroni in water for six minutes. You definitely want it to be on the firm side. Drain.
  2. In crock pot, combine sour cream, cheddar soup, salt, milk, mustard and pepper, mix. Add cheese, butter, and the drained macaroni and stir again.
  3. At this point it can be refrigerated until 3 hours before it should be served.
  4. Cook on low for 2 hours, stirring occasionally.

Buckwheat Scallion Crêpes


Ingredients


1/2 cup buckwheat flour
1/2 cup AP flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 cup milk
1 tablespoon melted unsalted butter
8 scallions sliced thinly.
1/4 to 1/2 cup water

Directions

Combine all the ingredients (except water) in bowl and whisk until smooth (as much as can be with scallion in it). Ideally let sit 2-24 hours, but it seems OK if you don’t.

Thin batter with water, adjust for desired consistency.

Preheat pan over medium-high heat (about 350 deg). Lightly grease pan.

Pour in enough batter to thinly coat the bottom of the pan. I like to use 1/4 – 1/2 cup measure. Swirl the pan to spread batter.

Cook for 1 to 2 minutes on one side (on flipping should be golden and lift easily). The second side will probably require less time.

The attached picture shows the crêpe with hoisin pork and carrots. I’m not happy with how I made those so they aren’t included in the recipe.

Also, you could use all buckwheat flour, but I thought the results were too dark when done that way.

Macaroni Milanaise

http://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1016574-macaroni-milanaise

INGREDIENTS
½ pound dried macaroni pasta, or cavatelli, gemelli, even ziti
4 thin slices ham, about 2 ounces, cut into thin ribbons
3 or 4 small mushrooms, ideally wild, sliced thin
2 tablespoons tomato purée
2 tablespoons Madeira
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
3 tablespoons grated Gruyère cheese
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

PREPARATION
Set a large pot of heavily salted water over high heat, and allow it to come to a boil.

Add the pasta to the water, and cook it until it is just shy of tender, according to the instructions on the box.

Meanwhile, put the ham, mushrooms and tomato purée in a small sauté pan, and pour the Madeira over the top. Cook over medium heat until the liquid has reduced to a glaze, the ham is heated through and the mushrooms are beginning to brown. Turn the heat off under the pan, and set aside.

Reserve a cup of the pasta water, and drain the pasta well. Return the pasta to the pot, then add the cheeses and butter, and stir to combine. Add the seasonings, and stir some more, adding, if necessary, a little of the reserved pasta water to loosen the pasta and help melt the cheeses. Add the mushroom mixture, and stir to combine. Taste for seasoning. Serve with salad, or as a ‘‘garnish’’ for roasted or sautéed lamb.
