  1. 1 Slice open the bottom of each anchovy and pull out the bone. Open each fillet as you would a book and arrange in the bottom of a shallow dish. Pour white vinegar on top. Marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours. Drain and discard the vinegar.
  2. 2 Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Brush a baking dish lightly with olive oil.
  3. 3 Mix bread crumbs, capers, parsley, and garlic together in a bowl.
  4. 4 Sprinkle some of the bread crumb mixture into the bottom of the baking dish. Arrange some anchovies in a single layer in the baking dish, still open like a book.

Instructions

  1. 1 Cut ends off and peel eggplants; cut into long strips about as big around as shoestring French fries. Place strips into a large bowl; stir in ½ cup coarse salt until evenly coated.
  2. 2 Place a sturdy dinner plate upside-down in a clean sink, making sure the drain is not blocked. Place a generous handful eggplant strips on center of the plate; cover with a second upside-down dinner plate to create an eggplant sandwich. Layer more eggplant strips and plates until all eggplant strips are sandwiched. Place an additional plate on top; press down firmly. Set a sturdy stockpot on top; fill with enough water to create some pressure on eggplant layers. (Not so much pressure that you break your dishes, though.) Set eggplant aside to press for 8 hours to overnight.
  3. 3 Fill a large bowl with ice water. Dismantle stack of plates, one layer at a time, briefly swish eggplant strips in ice water, then squeeze dry and place into a clean bowl. (If your hand starts to hurt, you are swishing too long.) Stir vinegar into eggplant strips; set aside for about 15 minutes.
  4. 4 Heat a splash of olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, oregano, pepper flakes, and ½ teaspoon sea salt; cook and stir until fragrant but do not cook garlic. Set aside to cool.
  5. 5 Squeeze eggplants very well so they don't end up tasting like pickles; place into a large bowl. Stir in garlic mixture and remaining olive oil until well blended. Pack into a sterilized 1-pint or ½-pint jars, filling to the top; top with any olive oil left in the bowl. Wipe rims with a clean, dry cloth, and seal tightly with new, sterilized lids.
  6. 6 Refrigerate before opening for at least 1 month.

Instructions

  1. 1 Gather the ingredients.
  2. 2 Mix flour, sugar, and cinnamon together in a medium bowl; cut in shortening until crumbly.
  3. 3 Make a well in the center; add Marsala wine, water, vinegar, egg, and egg yolk.
  4. 4 Mix with a fork until the dough becomes stiff; finish kneading by hand on a clean surface, adding a bit more water if needed for about 10 minutes. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
  5. 5 Divide cannoli dough into three balls; flatten each one just enough to get through the pasta machine. Roll 1 ball of dough through successively thinner settings until reach the thinnest setting. Dust lightly with flour if necessary.
  6. 6 Place dough sheet on a lightly floured surface; cut out 4 to 5-inch circles using a cutter or large glass.
  7. 7 Lightly dust dough circles with flour. This will help you later in removing the shells from the tubes. Roll dough around cannoli tubes, sealing edges with a bit of egg white. Repeat with remaining dough balls.
  8. 8 Heat oil in a deep fryer or deep skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Fry shells on the tubes in hot oil, a few at a time, until golden, 2 to 3 minutes; turn as needed using tongs. Remove shells carefully using tongs; place on a cooling rack set over paper towels.
  9. 9 Cool just long enough that you can handle the tubes, then carefully twist tubes to remove shells. Using a tea towel may help you get a better grip. Wash or wipe off the tubes; use them for more shells. Place cooled shells in an airtight container for up to 2 months. You should only fill them up to 1 hour before serving.
  10. 10 Mix ricotta cheese and confectioners' sugar together in a large bowl until well combined; fold in chocolate and lemon zest.
  11. 11 Transfer filling mixture to a pastry bag; pipe into shells, filling from the center to one end, then repeating on the other side. Dust with confectioners' sugar to serve, if you like.

  1. 1 Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  2. 2 Spread green, red, and yellow peppers, green beans, white onion, garlic, broccoli, cauliflower, celery, and mushrooms onto several baking sheets and drizzle with olive oil; toss lightly to coat.
  3. 3 Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven until slightly browned and softened, about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. 4 While vegetables are roasting, pour ketchup into a large pot over medium heat and stir in tomatoes, white vinegar, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes; stir in roasted vegetables, black olives, green olives, and basil. Simmer until cooked through, about 5 more minutes.
  5. 5 Sterilize jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack the roasted vegetable mixture into the sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids and screw on rings.
  6. 6 Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars into the boiling water using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 15 minutes.
  7. 7 Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, for 24 hours. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.
