Instructions

  1. 1 Gather all ingredients. Gently rinse the squash blossoms to remove any dirt or debris; remove the stamens as they are bitter and not edible.
  2. 2 Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Prepare a large bowl of ice-cold water. Drop squash blossoms into the boiling water until slightly wilted, 30 to 45 seconds; lift with a slotted spoon and immediately place into the cold water to chill. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  3. 3 Make the filling: Mix goat cheese, Gruyère, egg yolk, pepper, and cayenne together in a bowl until smooth. Spoon into a 1-quart resealable plastic bag, squeeze out the air, and seal the bag. Cut a small corner off the bag.
  4. 4 Gently insert the cut corner of the bag into the open end of a blossom and pipe in about 1 tablespoon filling, making sure it fills all the way to the bottom. Lift petals up and drape over filling to cover completely. Fold any excess petals over the top of the filled blossom to keep them out of the way. Repeat to fill remaining blossoms. Refrigerate until cheese is set and firm, at least 30 minutes.
  5. 5 Meanwhile, make the batter: Combine flour and cornstarch in a mixing bowl. Whisk in ice-cold water, a little at a time, until batter is smooth and has the thickness of pancake batter.
  6. 6 Heat 1 inch oil in a cast iron skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). A drop of batter carefully dripped into the oil should sizzle immediately.
  7. 7 Remove squash blossoms from the refrigerator and dust lightly with all-purpose flour on all sides. Shake off excess flour and dip blossoms in batter. Let excess batter drip off.
  8. 8 Gently lay about six coated squash blossoms on their sides in hot oil and cook until pale golden brown, about 1 minute on the first side and 30 seconds to 1 minute on the remaining sides.
  9. 9 Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and repeat to fry remaining blossoms. Let cool slightly before serving.

Instructions

  1. 1 Place potatoes in a large saucepan with enough water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over high; cover, reduce heat to medium-high, and cook until potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and run under cold water until cool enough to handle. Drain well and pat dry.
  2. 2 While potatoes cook, heat 3 inches of oil in a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot over medium-low to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  3. 3 Using a ricer or potato masher, thoroughly mash potatoes so no chunks remain. Stir together mashed potatoes, rice flour, cornstarch, kosher salt, and seasoning salt in a medium bowl until mixture comes together and forms a dough, adding 1 teaspoon of water at a time as needed.
  4. 4 Divide dough into 4 pieces. Shape each piece into a 1-inch diameter log, and cut each log into 1-inch pieces.
  5. 5 Working in batches, fry dough pieces in hot oil until lightly golden, turning occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes. Using a spider or slotted spatula, transfer from oil to a wire rack set over a baking sheet to drain. Repeat with remaining dough pieces.
  6. 6 Increase heat to medium-high to increase oil temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  7. 7 Fry a second time, in batches, until deep golden brown and crispy, another 2 minutes. Return to wire rack and dust with additional seasoning salt, if desired. Serve immediately. Recipe developed by Ali Ramee

  5. 5 Meanwhile, make chocolate custard: Whisk together sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt in a medium saucepan. Gradually whisk in milk. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until thickened, 5 to 7 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for about 2 minutes more. Pour beaten egg gradually into chocolate custard while stirring.

  6. 6 Pour chocolate custard over baked pie. Arrange regular marshmallows on top of pie and sprinkle miniature marshmallows to fill in any gaps.
  7. 7 Bake in the preheated oven until marshmallows are lightly browned, about 5 minutes; keep an eye on it because you do not want marshmallows to melt.
  8. 8 Make chocolate ganache: Place cream in a microwave-safe bowl and cook in the microwave on high until hot, making sure it doesn't bubble over, 45 to 60 seconds. Mix in chocolate, butter, and coffee granules. Microwave for 30 more seconds, then stir until smooth. Let sit to thicken, 15 to 20 minutes. Drizzle chocolate ganache over pie.

  1. 1 Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a medium skillet. Add mushrooms; cook until soft. Transfer to a small bowl; cover.
  2. 2 Whisk flour, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper together in a shallow dish or bowl. Dredge chicken in flour mixture; shake off excess.
  3. 3 Cook bacon in the same skillet over low heat until cooked but not crisp. Add 2 tablespoons butter to the skillet; melt. Add chicken; cook over medium heat, 2 minutes per side, adding remaining 1 tablespoon butter as needed to prevent burning.
  4. 4 Transfer chicken to a plate; cover with aluminum foil and keep warm. Slowly whisk water into cornstarch in a medium bowl; whisk in Marsala. Add cornstarch mixture and reserved mushrooms to the skillet; heat until sauce begins to boil and thickens. Top chicken with sauce to serve.

Instructions

  1. 1 Stir oil and garlic together in the bowl of a slow cooker.
  2. 2 Mix flour, salt, and pepper together in a large resealable plastic bag. Add chicken to the bag, seal, and shake to coat chicken with flour mixture. Pour coated chicken into the slow cooker, then add mushrooms.
  3. 3 Heat Marsala wine in a small frying pan over medium-high heat until reduced, 2 to 3 minutes; pour into the slow cooker over chicken and mushrooms.
  4. 4 Cover and cook on Low until sauce thickens and chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 4 to 5 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  5. 5 If the sauce is too thin, mix water and cornstarch together in a small bowl and pour slowly into the slow cooker. Cover and cook on High until thickened, about 15 minutes. Adjust seasonings to taste, garnish with parsley, and serve.
