Caesar Salad



这个应该是超简单人人都会的了。用Caesar salad dressing 拌生菜,丢一抓的croutons,撒一些Parmesan Cheese.

生菜,Salad Dressing, Croutons, Parmesan Cheese 在Costco都可以买得到。

现在好像离不开生菜了,每天的早餐我都是先吃一棵的生菜再吃苹果。


Bucatini all'Amatriciana



这个是学饕嫂的做法,以下是我从她的博克拷贝来的:

先做好 basic tomato sauce:
用料: 两听罐装whole tomato (28 oz/can) (不要用crushed的那种),四瓣蒜(切成薄片),一个Spanish onion(切成碎丁),新鲜(3大勺)或干百里香thyme(1大勺),盐。

将锅在中火上烧热,倒入1/4杯extra-virgin olive oil,稍热后放蒜与洋葱煸炒至微黄,大约八分钟,加入thyme再炒两分钟。稍后连汁倒入两听番茄,用铲捣碎,煮开后调至中火,加盐调味,不时搅拌,煮大约三十分钟,成酱状即可,成品大约有四杯。Basic tomato sauce可用在不同的pasta中,放在冰箱里可保存一星期。

Bucatini all'Amatriciana的做法:
用料: 意面Bucatini一盒(1Lb),半磅意大利腌咸肉pancetta(切成较薄的片,如没有可用中国腊肉代替,但要肥一点儿的),两杯basic tomato sauce,三瓣蒜(切成薄片),一个红洋葱(顺丝切成半英寸宽条),1小勺碎辣椒末,一点儿parsley碎叶, Pecorino Romano chesse,盐与黑胡椒粉。

将锅在中低火上预热,倒入pancetta翻炒至油快出尽,捞出pancetta,锅内留部分pancetta的油。放入蒜,红洋葱与辣椒末,炒至微黄,再加入pancetta,盐与黑胡椒粉,炒几下,加basic tomato sauce,稍煮十分钟。拌入煮好的Bucatini中,撒上擦碎的Pecorino Romano chesse,parsley碎叶。(这次没有parsley,我用了Italian basil。)

总结:意大利食品店的店主说用其他的pasta也可以这么做,不必拘泥于bucatini. 也不必一定用parsley,用basil 或是oregano等都可以。我最后用的是parmasen cheese,味道没有Pecorino Romano cheese 那么重。看各人的口味了。

Tiramisu




很早以前就存了很多种提拉米苏的做法,可是怕肥,一直没敢做。很多女生都喜欢做提拉米苏,我想除了喜欢它的香醇美味,还喜欢它的含义吧:pick me up.不过后来我在网站看到另有一种说法是lift me up.我想lift me up 的含义更广一些。

这个做法来自food network.

Ingredients:
2 cups espresso (480ml)
1/3 cup sweet Italian vermouth (180ml)
40 x Italian ‘Savoiardi’ Lady finger cookies
1.1 lb. fresh mascarpone cream cheese (500g)
5 x eggs
5 tbsp of sugar (75ml)
Bittersweet chocolate for shaving
:

Separate the yolks from the whites into two different mixing bowls. In the bowl with the yolks, add sugar and beat yolk mixture with an electric mixer until consistency is creamy. Add mascarpone cream cheese and mix thoroughly. In the other mixing bowl, beat egg whites until they turn into fluffy white peaks. Carefully fold white peaks into the creamy yolk mixture.
In another bowl, mix together espresso and vermouth. Dip cookies in the coffee mixture for a few seconds, making sure they are wet outside but still somewhat dry in the middle. Arrange dipped cookies in one tightly packed layer on the bottom of a cake pan. Pour 1/2 of the cream on top of the cookies and spread evenly. Add a second layer of soaked lady fingers, then evenly spread the remaining cream on top.
Plastic wrap the cake pan and leave Tiramisu to rest in the fridge for 3-4 hours. Before serving, sprinkle with chocolate shavings.


总结:我觉得要做好吃的提拉米苏,材料一定要正,最好不要用其他材料替代。其实跑一家意大利食品店,所有的材料都买到了。做提拉米苏不需要什么技术,就是材料而已。咖啡我买的是instant espresso , 酒我用的是Marsala, 和Vermouth 是同一类的酒。这个方子说做好后在冰箱里放3-4个小时即可,但我还是喜欢继续在急冻柜放上十几二十分钟后再吃,那时候不仅很绵滑,还能成型。




我要是学小女生们说:“提拉米苏,带我走。。。”,不知要让多少人酸掉牙,所以,还是做作一点带点深情地说:“请把我的提拉米苏带走吧。。。”
