Ingredients

Sicilian Style Eggplant

For the eggplant:

4 lbs eggplant
coarse salt
about 2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups peanut oil

For the sauce:

2 medium onions, chopped
1/2 lb ground beef
2 tablespoons fresh basil, torn into pieces
2 bay leaves, fresh if possible
coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 1/2 lbs fresh ripe tomatoes, peeled and seeded, or the equivalent in canned Italian plum tomatoes
1 tablespoon tomato paste

For the pasta:

1 lb 4 oz packaged rigatoni
8 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 oz freshly grated Gruyere cheese
4 oz freshly grated Parmesan cheese
water

Instructions

Peel and cut the eggplant into slices 1/4 inch thick. Layer the eggplant slices in a colander, salting each layer. Place a heavy plate on top with a weight, and leave for 1 hour. Rinse and pat dry.
Put flour in a large bowl. Lightly dredge as many eggplant slices as will fit into the skillet.
Transfer the slices to a large sieve and toss about to remove excess flour. (Flour enough slices for one batch only, or the flour will become damp and the slices will not fry well).
Heat the oil to hot in a large skillet and lightly brown the eggplant on both sides. Line a colander with paper towels and drain the slices, one layer at a time, covering each layer with more paper towels. When all the slices have been fried, set aside, reserving the frying oil, and prepare the sauce.
Drain 1/4 cup of the oil in which the eggplant has been fried through paper towels into a clean skillet.
Saute the chopped onion in the oil until transparent but not browned. Add the meat, basil, bay leaves, salt, pepper, and cinnamon. Saut until the meat is on longer pink, then add the tomatoes and tomato paste and simmer for 15 minutes.
Bring 5 quarts of water and 2 tablespoons coarse salt to a boil in a large pasta pot and boil the rigatoni for 4 minutes only. Add 2 cups of cold water to stop the cooking process. Drain; then mix with the butter, Gruyere and Parmesan.
Remove the bay leaves from the sauce and add the sauce to the pasta, mixing thoroughly.
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Line a deep ovenproof dish with eggplant slices (we use a 10-inch; 25-cm terra-cotta casserole). Add a layer of half the pasta, then a layer of eggplant slices and a layer of the remaining pasta, ending with eggplant slices.
Bake for 35 minutes, or until lightly browned.

Notes: Be sure the oil is hot enough or the eggplant will soak it up like a sponge. Test the oil by dropping in a small piece of bread; it will color quickly when the oil is ready. The temperature easily drops during the cooking, so take care that it remains high for each new batch of eggplant.

Notes: If prepared in advance, remove from refrigerator 30 minutes before heating. Bake in a preheated 375° oven for 40 minutes. This freezes well.

Ingredients

Fried Ravioli

Olive oil for frying
1 cup buttermilk
2 cups Italian style bread crumbs
1 box store bought bite size cheese ravioli (about 24 ravioli)
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 to 2 cups marinara sauce, store bought or homemade, heated, for dipping

Instructions

Heat 2 inches of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until a deep fry thermometer registers 325°.
While the oil is heating, put the buttermilk and the bread crumbs in separate shallow bowls.
Working in batches, dip the ravioli in the buttermilk to coat completely, allowing the excess buttermilk to drip back into the bowl. Dredge the ravioli in the bread crumbs. Place the ravioli on a baking sheet while you coat the remaining ravioli.
When the oil is hot, fry the ravioli in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown, about 3 minutes.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried ravioli to paper towels to drain. Sprinkle the fried ravioli with Parmesan cheese and serve with a bowl of warmed marinara sauce for dipping.
Makes 4 to 6 servings

Ingredients

Baked Caprese Salad

1 baguette, sliced 1/2 inch thick (30 to 36 slices)
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
Salt
5 Roma tomatoes, sliced
Freshly ground black pepper
1 1/4 pounds fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
Leaves from 1 bunch of fresh basil

Instructions

Preheat oven to 450°.
Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet, brush with some of the olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Bake until the bread is pale golden and crisp, about 5 minutes.
Top each slice of bread with a slice of tomato and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Top with a slice of mozzarella cheese and sprinkle with salt. Return the baking sheet to the oven until the cheese and tomato are just warm, about 5 minutes.
Arrange the toasts on a serving platter. Top each toast with a basil leaf. Using the brush, drizzle the remaining olive oil over the basil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve.
Be careful not to overheat the crostini; the cheese and tomatoes should be just warmed through and softened but not melted or falling apart. It’s perfect if you have slightly underripe tomatoes.

Ingredients

Osso Buco

3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons salt
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
4 veal shanks, tied to secure meat to bone
1 cup dried porcini mushrooms
1 dried bay leaf
1 sprig fresh rosemary
2 sprigs fresh thyme
3 fresh sage leaves
3 sprigs fresh flat leaf parsley
1/2 lemon zested (zest cut into long strips, pith removed)
10 whole black peppercorns
2 medium carrots, peeled and chopped into 1/4-inch pieces
1 stalk celery, chopped into 1/4-inch pieces
1 medium onion, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
2 canned plum tomatoes, crushed
1 1/4 cups dry white wine
1 1/2 cups homemade beef stock

Instructions

Heat oven to 275°F.
In a 7-quart flameproof casserole or Dutch oven over medium to medium-low heat, heat vegetable oil until hot but not smoking.
In medium bowl, combine flour, salt, and pepper. Coat each veal shank well with flour; tap off excess. Working in batches if necessary to keep veal shanks from touching at all, add shanks (they should sizzle the moment they hit the pan). Cook until well browned on all sides, 10 to 15 minutes; do not rush. Remove the veal shanks from the casserole, and set aside.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, bring 2 cups water to a boil. Remove from heat, add dried mushrooms, and let stand until softened, about 20 minutes. Strain mushrooms, reserving 1/2 cup soaking liquid.

Prepare bouquet garni: Tie bay leaf, rosemary, thyme, sage, parsley, lemon zest, and peppercorns together in a piece of cheesecloth.

Add carrots, celery, and onion to casserole; cook until softened and lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Add tomatoes, wine, stock, mushrooms with soaking liquid, and bouquet garni.
Return browned shanks to casserole; stir gently to combine. Bring to a simmer, cover, and place in the oven; cook until meat is very tender, about 2 1/2 hours. Check occasionally to ensure a gentle simmer; adjust heat or height of rack as needed.
Transfer shanks to a platter, and cover with foil to keep warm. Set casserole over medium heat; simmer until sauce is thickened, about 15 minutes. Return shanks to casserole just to heat and coat with sauce.
Serve hot.

Olive Oil Cake (2)

1 tablespoon butter
3 cups plus 2 tablespoon all purpose flour
4 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon lemon zest
3/4 cup quality extra-virgin olive oil
2/3 cup milk
3 tablespoons Grand Marnier or other sweet citrus-flavored liqueur
2 tablespoons baking powder

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325° F. Grease a 3" deep round 9" cake pan and the outside of a heavy 3" deep 3" ovenproof ramekin or bowl with butter, then dust with 2 tablespoons of the flour, tapping out excess. Put ramekin or bowl upside down in center of prepared pan. Alternatively, grease an 11-cup bundt pan with butter and dust with flour. Set prepared pan aside.
Beat eggs and sugar together in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until pale yellow, about 1 minute. Add remaining 3 cups flour, lemon zest, oil, milk, and liqueur and stir with a wooden spoon until well combined. Add baking powder and stir until thoroughly combined.
Holding ramekin or bowl firmly in place, spoon batter into prepared pan around ramekin or bowl or spoon batter into bundt pan, if using, and smooth out top with the back of the spoon. Bake until cake is deep golden brown and a wooden skewer inserted in center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Transfer cake to a wire rack to let cool completely, in its pan.
