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

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.

  2. 2 Make the crust: Whisk the coconut flour, almond flour, sugar, and salt together in a medium mixing bowl. Stir in the coconut, poppy seeds and lemon zest.
  3. 3 Whisk the butter, applesauce, and egg yolk together in a small bowl, then stir into the crust.
  4. 4 Press the crust evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
  5. 5 Bake the crust for 10-15 minutes, or until the edges just start to brown. (Baking time will be slightly longer for ceramic and glass pans than for metal pans.)
  6. 6 While the crust bakes, make the filling: Whisk the eggs, lemon juice, lemon zest, and applesauce together in a medium mixing bowl until the eggs are well blended.
  7. 7 Whisk in the sugar and cornstarch.
  8. 8 Pour the filling over the baked crust and return the pan to the oven.
  9. 9 Bake for 25-30 minutes more, until the filling is set.
  10. 10 Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes, then use the long edges of the foil to carefully lift the bars out of the pan and onto the rack.
  11. 11 Cool to room temperature, then peel the foil off. Dust the bars with powdered sugar and sprinkle with poppy seeds, then cut into squares or longer bars.
  12. 12 Bars can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container.

  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.

Instructions

  1. 1 Season both sides pork chops with salt and black pepper. Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chops; sear until lightly brown and no longer pink, 2 to 3 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into centers should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Transfer chops to a plate; set aside.
  2. 2 Heat remaining 1 teaspoon oil in the same skillet. Add shallots and thyme; cook and stir until shallots translucent, about 1 minute. Add port wine, blackberry juice, chicken broth, and balsamic vinegar; bring to a boil, scraping any browned bits of food off the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon. Cook until reduced by one-third, about 5 minutes.
  3. 3 Stir cornstarch and water together in a bowl until becomes a paste; stir into sauce. Cook and stir until thickened, about 1 minute; reduce heat to low. Stir in blackberries; simmer until just warmed through.
  4. 4 Return chops to the skillet; turn to coat in sauce. Serve chops topped with more sauce.

Instructions

  1. 1 Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Season filets with salt and black pepper; sear until well-browned, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer steaks to a platter, tent with aluminum foil, and keep warm.
  2. 2 Reduce the heat to medium; add butter to the skillet until melted. Add mushrooms and shallot; cook and stir occasionally, until mushrooms begin to release their liquid and shallot is soft, about 5 minutes.
  3. 3 Add wine, beef broth, and thyme; simmer until sauce begins to reduce, 6 to 10 minutes. Return steaks to the skillet; simmer until steaks are medium-rare, 2 to 4 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into centers should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Transfer steaks to serving plates.
  4. 4 Whisk water and cornstarch together in a small bowl until forms a smooth paste; stir into sauce until thickened, about 30 seconds. Top servings with mushroom-wine sauce.

Instructions

  1. 1 Gather all ingredients.
  2. 2 Dredge chicken in flour; shake off excess. Dip into beaten egg. Lift up so excess egg drips back into the bowl. Press into flour again to coat both sides. Repeat with remaining chicken.
  3. 3 Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and sauté until almost cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
  4. 4 Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  5. 5 Heat chicken broth, wine, butter, lemon juice, parsley, salt, and pepper in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until butter melts. Stir water and cornstarch together in a small bowl until combined; add to broth mixture and cook until it thickens slightly, 2 to 3 minutes.
  6. 6 Place chicken into the prepared baking dish and pour sauce over top.
  7. 7 Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 10 to 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
