Recipe By :
Serving Size :   Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Volume 11-01 Jan 2008

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
5 pieces cinnamon stick -- (3-inches each)
1/2 cup cardamom seeds
1/2 cup whole cloves
1/2 cup whole cumin seeds
1/4 cup whole coriander seeds
1/2 cup whole black peppercorns

Combine the whole spices in a heavy skillet over moderate heat and toast

airtight container at room temperature for several months without losing

Garam Masala Scallops over Acorn Squash

Recipe By :The Best of Gourmet, 2002
Serving Size : 2 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Volume 11-01 Jan 2008

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 large acorn squash
3/4 pound sea scallops
1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/8 teaspoon turmeric
1 1/2 tablespoons jalapeno chile pepper -- seeded and minced
1 large garlic clove -- minced
2 teaspoons fresh ginger -- peeled and grated
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice -- plus
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
1 1/4 cups water
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 1/2 teaspoons garam masala

Garnish - very thin sliced of jalapeno chile, chopped fresh cilantro and
ground Aleppo pepper or cayenne.

Accompaniment : haricots verts with mustard seed and toasted coconut

Prepare squash: Preheat oven to 375F. Halve squash lengthwise, reserving 1
half for another use. Halve remaining squash piece diagonally crosswise and
season with salt. Arrange wedges, cut sides up, in a small roasting pan
filled with 1/2 inch of water. Cover roasting pan tightly with foil and
roast until tender, about 1 hour.

Prepare scallops after squash has been roasting for 30 minutes. Pat
scallops dry and season with salt. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 10-inch non-
stick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then
brown scallops on both sides, 4 to 6 minutes total (scallops will be almost
cooked through). Remove from heat. Add turmeric and toss until scallops are
yellow, then transfer to a bowl.

Cook jalapeno, garlic, ginger and 1 tablespoon lime juice in remaining 1/2
tablespoon oil in skillet over moderately high heat, stirring, 1 minute.
Add water and simmer until water is evaporated and chile mixture is
softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add cream and garam masala and simmer 2 minutes.
Remove from heat and cover.

When squash is tender, add remaining 2 teaspoons lime juice and scallops
with any liquid that has accumulated in bowl to sauce and simmer until
scallops are just cooked through and sauce is slightly thickened, about 2
minutes.

Place a squash wedge on each of 2 plates and spoon scallops and sauce over
squash.

GARAM MASALA: 1 tablespoon coriander seeds, 2 teaspoons cumin seeds, 1
tablespoon green or white cardamom pods, 1 3-inch stick cinnamon, crushed,
1/4 teaspoon black peppercorns. Toast coriander and cumin seeds in a dry
small heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until
fragrant, about 2 minutes. Cook, then finely grind with remaining spices in
an electric coffee/spice grinder or with a mortar and pestle.

NOTES : Squash may be roasted 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Reheat,
covered in a microwave about 5 minutes.

For a fuller, more caramelized squash flavor, but a more rustic
presentation due to browning, roast squash uncovered, cut sides down and
substitute 2 tablespoons butter for the water in pan.

Scallops and sauce may be prepared separately 2 hours ahead and chilled,
covered.

A tahini-based dough is rolled in gold- or silver-dusted sesame seeds for
eye-popping cookies that melt in the mouth. (They're just as delicious if
you skip the fancy gilding.)

Ginger-Pear Preserves

Recipe By : Cooking Light, November 2005
Serving Size :   Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Volume 11-01 Jan 2008

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
6 cups cubed ripe Bosc pear
or Bartlett pear
[about 1 3/4 pounds]
3/4 cup chopped seeded lemon -- (1 large)
1/4 cup pear-flavored liqueur
1 tablespoon grated peeled fresh ginger -- (1 to 2)
4 cups sugar
1/2 cup water

Combine first 4 ingredients in a large saucepan. Stir in sugar and water;
bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes. Remove from heat; cover
and let stand 12 hours (do not refrigerate).

Bring to a boil, uncovered, over high heat. Reduce heat; simmer 1 hour and
15 minutes or until thick, stirring occasionally. Place 1 cup preserves
into each of 4 sterilized (8-ounce) jars. Cover with lids and cool upside
down on a wire rack. Chill.

Note : Preserves will keep in the refrigerator for up to six weeks.

Yields 4 cups (serving size: 1 tablespoon)

Source : Cooking Light, November 2005. Formatted by Chupa Babi: 12.22.07

A jar of these preserves is nice for neighbors, friends, and coworkers.
Package this with a pretty spreader. Serve on English muffins, crackers, or
as a condiment for baked [favorites].

Chupa Note: add at least 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes or hot sauce for that
hot 'n sweet touch. If you don't want to use alcohol, replace the liquor
with 1/4 undiluted defrosted pear juice concentrate. Apple or grape juice
concentrate might work too, though you'd lose some of the pear flavor.
