Homemade Marshmallows
Author:
Cuisine: American
Recipe type: Main dish
Ingredients
  • 3 packages unflavored gelatin
  • 1 cup ice cold water, divided
  • 12 ounces granulated sugar, approximately 1½ cups
  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup confectioners' sugar
  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • Nonstick spray
Instructions
  1. Place the gelatin into the bowl of a stand mixer along with ½ cup of the water. Have the whisk attachment standing by.
  2. In a small saucepan combine the remaining ½ cup water, granulated sugar, corn syrup and salt. Place over medium high heat, cover and allow to cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Uncover, clip a candy thermometer onto the side of the pan and continue to cook until the mixture reaches 240 degrees F, approximately 7 to 8 minutes. Once the mixture reaches this temperature, immediately remove from the heat.
  3. Turn the mixer on low speed and, while running, slowly pour the sugar syrup down the side of the bowl into the gelatin mixture. Once you have added all of the syrup, increase the speed to high. Continue to whip until the mixture becomes very thick and is lukewarm, approximately 12 to 15 minutes. Add the vanilla during the last minute of whipping. While the mixture is whipping prepare the pans as follows.
For regular marshmallows:
  1. Combine the confectioners' sugar and cornstarch in a small bowl. Lightly spray a 13 by 9-inch metal baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. Add the sugar and cornstarch mixture and move around to completely coat the bottom and sides of the pan. Return the remaining mixture to the bowl for later use.
  2. When ready, pour the mixture into the prepared pan, using a lightly oiled spatula for spreading evenly into the pan. Dust the top with enough of the remaining sugar and cornstarch mixture to lightly cover. Reserve the rest for later. Allow the marshmallows to sit uncovered for at least 4 hours and up to overnight.
  3. Turn the marshmallows out onto a cutting board and cut into 1-inch squares using a pizza wheel dusted with the confectioners' sugar mixture. Once cut, lightly dust all sides of each marshmallow with the remaining mixture, using additional if necessary. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 weeks.
For miniature marshmallows:
  1. Combine the confectioners' sugar and cornstarch in a small bowl. Line 4 half sheet pans with parchment paper, spray the paper with nonstick cooking spray and dust with the confectioners' sugar mixture.
  2. Scoop the mixture into a piping bag fitted with a ½-inch round piping tip. Pipe the mixture onto the prepared sheet pans lengthwise, leaving about 1-inch between each strip. Sprinkle the tops with enough of the remaining cornstarch and sugar mixture to lightly cover. Let the strips set for 4 hours or up to overnight.
  3. Cut into ½ inch pieces using a pizza wheel or scissors dusted with the confectioners' sugar mixture. Once cut, lightly dust all sides of each marshmallow with the remaining sugar mixture and store in an airtight container for up to a week.

Traditional Vietnamese Beef Pho
Author:
Cuisine: American
Recipe type: Main dish
Ingredients
  • 10 lb mixed beef leg bones, shin, knuckle and marrow bones (4.5 kg)
  • 12 oz ginger, 2 large hands, halved lengthwise (340 g)
  • 1 head large garlic, halved crosswise
  • 4 kg medium yellow onion, halved lengthwise 4 kg
  • 8 sticks cinnamon
  • ¼ cup whole black peppercorn
  • 6 pods whole star anise
  • 1 lb beef brisket (455 g)
  • kosher salt
  • ¼ cup fish sauce, plus more to taste (60 mL)
  • 1 lb boneless sirloin steak (455 g)
  • 1 lb flat rice noodle, cooked according to package instructions (455 g)
FOR SERVING
  • 2 cups fresh mung bean sprouts (200 g)
  • 1 small red onion, very thinly sliced lengthwise
  • 1 jalapeño, sliced into thin rounds
  • 1 large bunch fresh thai basil
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges
  • hoisin sauce
  • siracha
Instructions
  1. Place the beef bones in a large stock pot, then add enough cold water to cover by 2 inches (5 cm). Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat and cook for 10 minutes to blanch the bones and remove any impurities.
  2. Set a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat the broiler.
  3. Drain the bones in a colander and rinse under cold running water. Return the blanched bones to the stockpot.
  4. Meanwhile, arrange the ginger, garlic, and onions cut-side up on a rimmed baking sheet and broil on high until the aromatics are deeply charred in spots, 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and add to the stockpot with the bones.
  5. Meanwhile, combine the cinnamon sticks, peppercorns, and star anise in a medium skillet over medium-high heat and toast, shaking the pan occasionally, until the spices are darkened in spots and extremely fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add the toasted spices to the stockpot.
  6. Season the brisket liberally with salt and add it to the stockpot.
  7. Fill the pot with enough cold water to cover everything by 1 inch (2 cm). Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium to maintain a gentle simmer, skimming off and discarding any fat that floats to the top as needed, until the brisket is fork-tender, 2-3 hours.
  8. Using tongs, transfer the brisket to a plate and let cool completely. Refrigerate the brisket until ready to serve.
  9. Continue to simmer the broth to get as much flavor out of the bones as possible, 3-4 hours more.
  10. Using tongs, remove and discard the bones and aromatics. Slowly strain the broth through a fine mesh strainer set over a large pot. Skim and discard the fat from the broth, then stir in the fish sauce. Taste and add more as desired.
  11. Thinly slice the brisket. Very thinly slice the raw sirloin steak against the grain.
  12. Divide the noodles among 6-8 large bowls, then top with the brisket and raw steak. Ladle the hot broth over the noodles and meat and serve immediately with the bean sprouts, onion, jalapeño, Thai basil, lime wedges, hoisin sauce, and Sriracha alongside.
  13. Enjoy!

This rich, creamy vegan(!) sauce is your new all-purpose condiment. Packed with herbs, it's a no-brainer for a seasonal veggies-and-dip situation, but can easily be dressed up to suit any occasion. Swap the herbs and vinegar for lime juice and zest and you've got a perfect taco-topper. Add some chipotles in adobo to make a spicy, smoky bottom-of-the-plate schmear for roasted veggies. Or spike it with some grated garlic and thin it with lemon juice for a killer dairy-free ranch dressing.

  • 10 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 3 bay leaves
  • 1 lb brussels sprouts, halved (455 g)
  • 1 lb red pearl onion, peeled (455 g)
  • olive oil, for drizzling
  • 3 lb yukon gold potato, peeled, chopped, and boiled (1.3 kg)
  • white pepper, to taste
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, 1 stick, cubed and chilled (115 g)
  • 1 cup sour cream (230 g)
  • ½ cup heavy cream (120 mL)
CITRUS GREMOLATA

  • 1 lemon, zested
  • ½ tablespoon flaky sea salt
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon horseradish
  • orange, zested
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Season the lamb shanks all over with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat the canola oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  4. Sear 2 lamb shanks at a time until a dark brown crust forms on one side, 3-5 minutes. Sear the other sides of the meat until evenly browned. Remove the shanks from the pan and set aside. Remove all but 2 tablespoons of fat from the pan.
  5. Add the minced carrots, onion, celery, and minced garlic to the pot. Season with salt and pepper, and cook until the vegetables are deeply caramelized, 15-20 minutes.
  6. Add the tomato paste and cook until it browns and is aromatic, 5 minutes.
  7. Add the red wine and scrape the bottom of the pot to release the flavorful browned bits stuck to the bottom. Cook until the wine reduces by half and thickens slightly, 3 minutes.
  8. Add the chicken stock, orange juice, lemon juice, rosemary, thyme, and bay leaves. Stir and bring to a boil.
  9. Return the lamb shanks to the Dutch oven, cover, and place in the oven for 2 hours, turning the shanks halfway through, until the lamb is tender and the braising liquid has thickened.
  10. About halfway through the lamb cooking time, add the oblique-cut carrots, Brussels sprouts, red pearl onions, and whole garlic cloves to a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to combine. Roast in the oven for 1 hour, or until the vegetables are tender.
  11. Right after the potatoes finish boiling, drain and transfer to a large bowl. Season with plenty of salt and a bit of white pepper, and mash the potatoes until as smooth as possible.
  12. Fold in the butter, sour cream, and heavy cream until smooth and light.
  13. Make the citrus gremolata: In a small bowl, combine the parsley, lemon zest, flaky salt, garlic, chives, horseradish, and orange zest.
  14. To serve, scoop mashed potatoes onto a plate. Add roasted vegetables and a lamb shank. Top with the braising liquid and citrus gremolata.
  15. Enjoy!
