Beef Croustades with Boursin Cheese & Mushrooms: January 2012

Boston-Style Clam Chowder
Makes 8 servings as an appetizer
This recipe is from the Athenian Inn, Pike Place Market, Seattle, Washington.
Prepare the diced potatoes first and set aside to cool. Measure out all ingredients before starting to cook.
2 cups peeled, Yukon gold or Russet potatoes, cut into ½ inch dice and cooked in boiling water until just before fork tender, drain and set aside
1 cup diced bacon (1/2 lb. sliced)
1 cup diced onion (about 1 large onion)
1 cup diced celery (about 2 stalks)
½ t salt
½ t ground pepper
¼ t dried thyme
¼ t dried marjoram
¼ t dried oregano
6 cups clam juice (6 8oz bottles)

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups whole milk

To serve, warm the soup, divide soup bowls and garnish with chopped chives. Serve with oyster crackers on the side.
Individual Beef Croustades with Boursin Cheese and Mushrooms
clip_image002
For the mushroom filling:
1 1/2 lb. fresh white button or cremini mushrooms, cleaned 
3 medium shallots 
2 clove garlic, cut in half 
3 Tbs. unsalted butter 
2 Tbs. olive oil 
1/3 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley 
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper


For the croustades:
8 filets mignons, 6 oz. each and about 1-3/4 inches thick 
Kosher salt 
2 Tbs. unsalted butter 
2 Tbs. vegetable oil 
2 cakes (5.2 oz. each) peppercorn Boursin cheese, slightly softened at room temperature 
2, 1-lb. packages phyllo dough (at least 32 sheets, preferably more), thawed in the refrigerator overnight 
1/4 lb. (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, melted; more if needed 
1/4 cup thinly sliced fresh chives

For the filling:
Trim the mushroom stems close to the caps. Put the mushrooms, shallots and garlic in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped but not puréed; scrape the bowl as needed. Transfer the chopped mushrooms to the center of a clean dishtowel. Gather up the sides of the towel and twist, keeping the mushrooms well contained in the cloth, bonbon style. With one hand, hold the ball of mushrooms over the sink; with the other hand, twist the gathered cloth, squeezing out as much liquid as possible.
Heat the butter and oil in a 12-inch skillet or sauté pan over medium heat. Add the mushrooms, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are very soft and fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes. Don't let them brown. Uncover and cook until the pan is mostly dry, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the parsley; season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste. The filling can be refrigerated for up to a week or frozen for up to two weeks. If frozen, thaw overnight in the refrigerator and, if necessary, cook gently in an uncovered skillet to evaporate any juices that may have developed in the freezer.


For the croustades:
Sear the filets: Season the filets mignons generously on all sides with salt. Heat the butter and oil in a 12-inch skillet or sauté pan over medium-high heat until very hot and sizzling.
clip_image003Put four of the filets in the pan and sear on one side until well browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Turn and brown the other side. Then quickly sear along the sides, using tongs to turn, about another 1 minute per side. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels. Repeat with the remaining filets. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.


To assemble: Mash the Boursin with a fork in a small bowl until spreadable. Remove at least 32 sheets of phyllo from the packages and cut them into 10-inch squares. Cover them with plastic wrap and a damp dishtowel while you work to keep them from drying out. Lay a single phyllo sheet on a clean, dry surface. With a pastry brush, lightly paint an even coat of the melted butter over the entire surface of the square. Sprinkle with about 1/2 tsp. of the chives. Set a second sheet at a 90-degree angle over the first. Brush butter over it as well and sprinkle with another 1/2 tsp. chives.
clip_image004clip_image005
Make four layers, omitting the chives from the last layer, with the corners of the phyllo pointing in different directions, starlike. Blot one filet dry with a paper towel, set it in the center of the star, and sprinkle it with salt. Spread about 2 Tbs. of the Boursin on the filet and top that with 2 generous Tbs. of the mushroom filling.
Pick a starting point and work your way around the filet, gathering the edges of the phyllo star together, beggar’s purse style. Lightly pinch together the gathered phyllo close to the surface of the meat to hold it in place. Pull the corners open slightly as if making a paper flower. Brush the whole exposed surface lightly with more butter, being sure that the bottom is buttered as well. Transfer to a heavy baking sheet. Repeat this “packaging’” for the remaining filets. If you’re working ahead, chill the filets uncovered on the baking sheet until ready to bake, up to 8 hours.


To bake: Take the croustades out of the refrigerator about 20 minutes before you’re ready to bake them. Position an oven rack in the lower third of the oven and heat the oven to 400°F. Bake the croustades, rotating the baking sheet after 10 minutes to ensure evening browning, until an instant-read thermometer inserted through the side of each packet and into the center of the filet reads 130°F for medium rare, 17 to 22 min. Serve immediately.

Baby Spinach with Scallions and Lemon
This is very forgiving and keeps while sitting in the pan on the stove until you’re ready to reheat it and serve. Bring all ingredients prepared as directed to host’s home and cook while beef is in oven.


clip_image0064 lb. baby spinach
4 Tbs. olive oil 
6 scallions, trimmed and sliced, white and green parts separated 
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 
1 ½-2 Tbs. lightly packed finely grated lemon zest (from about 2 large lemons) 
1/8 tsp. freshly grated nutmeg
Rinse and drain the spinach. (You needn’t dry it completely; clinging droplets of water are fine.) Heat the olive oil in a large, deep Dutch oven or wok over medium heat. Add the scallion whites and cook, stirring, until they start to soften, about 1 minute. Pile in the spinach and cook, turning with tongs so it gets evenly heated. (You’ll need to add the spinach in stages; as it heats, it will shrink.)
Once all the spinach is in the pan, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until all the leaves have wilted and released their liquid, about 2 min. Uncover the pan, increase the heat to high, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the spinach is very soft, about 5 min. Remove from the heat and season with salt and pepper to taste. Just before serving, reheat gently, adding the scallion greens, lemon zest, and grated nutmeg. Drain briefly in a colander before serving.

Grilled Pizza

Grilled Rosemary-Crusted Pizza with chicken andouille sausage, goat cheese and balsamic vinaigrette dressing. This pizza gets a nice smoky flavor from the grilling process.

From Gourmet Club May 1998.
This recipe makes 4 pizzas, divide as needed.
Makes four 9-inch pizzas
Grilled Pizza With A Nice Dry Red

Dough
1 cup warm water (105 to 115F)
1 T sugar
1 envelope dry yeast
3 T olive oil
3 cups (or more) all-purpose flour
1 ½ t salt
1 T chopped fresh rosemary
Combine water and sugar in food processor. Sprinkle yeast over; let stand till foamy, about 10 minutes. Add oil, then 3 cups flour and salt. Process until dough comes together, about 1 minute. Turn dough out onto floured work surface. Knead dough until smooth and elastic, adding more flour by tablespoons if dough is sticky, about 5 minutes. Lightly oil a large bowl. Add dough; turn to coat with oil. Cover bowl with plastic then a towel. Let stand in warm draft-free area until dough doubles, about 1 hour. Punch down dough. Knead dough in bowl until smooth.
Toppings
¾ cup olive oil
6 T balsamic vinegar
2 T minced garlic
2 T chopped fresh rosemary (For Dough)
1 lb. spicy chicken andouille sausage
2 yellow or red bell peppers, cored, quartered lengthwise
1 large red onion, peeled, cut through root end into ½ inch thick wedges
Whisk first 4 ingredients in medium bowl. Let vinaigrette stand 15 minutes at room temperature or refrigerate up to 2 hours.
Prepare barbeque grill (medium heat). Arrange sausages, peppers, and onion on baking sheet. Brush with some of the vinaigrette. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill sausages until cooked through and peppers and onion until slightly charred and crisp-tender, turning and basting occasionally, about 12 minutes for sausages and 8 minutes for peppers and onion.
Transfer sausages and vegetables to cutting board. Cut sausages into ¼ inch pieces and peppers into thin strips.
Final Preparation:
2 cups grated mozzarella cheese
½ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
1 ½ cups crumbles chilled soft fresh goat cheese
3 plum tomatoes, halved, seeded, chopped
¾ cup chopped green onion tops

Dust the cookie sheet with corn meal










Add coals to barbeque, if necessary. Mix rosemary into dough. Divide dough into 4 equal pieces. Stretch out each piece on floured surface to 9-inch round.
Place 2 dough rounds on grill. (I made one large pizza for this demo)
Slide the dough onto the grill








 

Grill over medium heat until top of dough puffs out and underside is crisp, about 3 minutes.
It will not stick but do not walk away
Turn rounds over. Grill 1 minute.









Transfer to baking sheet with well-grilled side up. Repeat with remaining 2 rounds.
 
Flip it over when it just starts browning










Sprinkle each with ¼ of the mozzarella and parmesan cheese.
 
Ready to slide the topped pizza onto the grill
When the cheese has melted and just started to brown










Top each with ¼ of the sausage, peppers, and onion, then with ¼ of the goat cheese, tomatoes and green onion. Drizzle each with 1 ½ teaspoons of the vinaigrette.



Using a large metal spatula, return 2 pizzas to grill. Close grill or cover pizzas loosely with foil. Grill until cheeses melt and dough is cooked through and browned, using tongs to rotate pizzas for even cooking, about 5 minutes. WATCH CLOSELY! This can burn easily!


Grilled and ready to serve
Transfer to plates. Repeat grilling for remaining pizzas.









Cut each pizza into fourths and serve.
