Bisteca alla Putanesca


Bisteca alla Putanesca
Originally uploaded by crossmyheartjwlry

I was in the mood to try something new, with ingredients I've never dared tried before. So it seemed that, thanks to this recipe from Rachael Ray's 30 minute meals..this sounds easier than it sounds!
The taste of anchovies did not over power the steak not even a hint. I've never tried this grape tomato salad with caper berries before and I loved it. I added a 1T of vinegar to the salad recipe as I liked it that way.

If you want to try out this recipe, this is taken from Everday Rachael Ray magazine Sept 2009 edition.

Ingredients:
4 Flatiron or small sirloin steaks
2 large cloves garlic halved
2 T EVOO
salt and pepper
2T butter, softened
2tsp anchovy paste
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 c chopped black olives
5 caper berries, drained and sliced
1/2 small red onion chopped
1/2 cup coarsely chopped parsley

Directions
1/ Heat grill or pan to medium high. Rub steaks with garlic and drizzle with EVOO. Grill steaks, turning once for 8 minutes for med-rare. Season with salt and pepper
2. In a small bowl, mix butter and anchovy paste. Dollop on top of steaks.
3. In a bowl, combine the tomatoes, olives, caper berries, onion, parsley, EVOO, season with salt and pepper. Top the steaks with the tomatoe salad.

Jollibee fried peach mango pie

Hmmm.  I went to Jollibee in Jersey city, NJ to get one of the peach mango pies.  Unfortunately they were out, so I got the banana langka instead. Then I had one of those light bulb moments to make my own Peach mango pie.  Crazy huh?  The important thing was the filling.  The filling would be a little bit hard if the yellow ripe mangoes were out of season.  Luckily Del Monte now sells them in the little plastic cups.  Filling: 1 C of yellow sliced and cubed mangoes, ripe and peaches  or Del Monte cubed mangoes and peaches with syrup 2 T peach jam preserves 1T white sugar In a little saucepan, cook the mangoes in sugar for 1 minute in medium heat until mangoes soften.  Add the peach jam and mix. Simmer for another 1 minutes.   Transfer to a bowl and cool in refrigerator. Crust: Buy the PUFF pastry crust from the supermarket.  Lay out and cut in squares.   Add the mango peach filling.  Top with ...

Mango Cream Pie

For mother's day, a friend of mine gave me 2 yellow mangoes. Mangoes has to be my favorite fruit. My brother shared with me a mango cream pie recipe along with my friend's mother who made it out of mango puree. This recipe is sort of a combination of both. The best mango cream pie has yet to be from Red Ribbon bakery...sweet crust, mangoes and whipped cream. For good results get sweet ripe mangoes for this recipe or add some white sugar to it. If you can't find any good mangoes, you can also try mango puree and just mix it with the cream mixture. Ingredients: 2-3 cups of fresh yellow mangoes, ripe and sweet..cut thinly 1c organic heavy whipping cream 1 small can condensed milk 1/2 c hot water or hot mangoe puree (heated up) 2 sachets of Knox white gelating powder, (2) Pilsbury ready made pie crustor or graham cracker crust, baked according to directions on package 1 tsp vanilla flavoring 1 Tbsp crushed graham cracker crumbs ...
