Cuisine: American
Recipe type: Main dish
Serves: 2 cups
Ingredients
  • 2 dozen littleneck clams
  • 2 dozen cherrystone clams
  • 1 quart water
  • 1 head garlic, sliced in ½ horizontally
  • 3 bay leaves
  • 2 sprigs thyme, leaves picked
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 ounces pancetta, cut into cubes
  • 1 celery stalk, diced
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 heaping tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup milk
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 handful flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
  • Parmesan Oyster Crackers, recipe follows
Parmesan Oyster Crackers:
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ stick unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 cups oyster crackers
  • 1 handful flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
  • ¼ cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
Instructions
  1. Wash and scrub the clams to get rid of the dirt. Set the littlenecks aside in the refrigerator, and combine the cherrystone clams with the water, garlic, bay leaves, and thyme leaves in a large pot. Cover, and steam over medium-high heat until the clams have all popped open, about 15 minutes. Check every 5 minutes to pull out the clams that have opened (some take longer than others), and give the pot a stir. Pull the opened clams out of their shells and chop them roughly. Cover them and set aside. Pour the broth into a big bowl through a strainer that you've lined with cheesecloth, just in case there is leftover sand; set the broth aside.
  2. Rinse out the pot and melt the butter over medium heat. Add the pancetta, celery, and onion. Saute this together for 5 minutes, until the vegetables soften. Sprinkle the flour into the pot; stir and coat everything well. Gradually pour in the strained clam broth, whisking constantly to break up any lumps of flour. When all the broth is incorporated, fold in the potatoes, and bring to a boil, stirring constantly for about 15 minutes. The soup will start to thicken from the potato starch.
  3. Reduce the heat to low and fold in the cream, milk, and chopped clams. Toss in the littleneck clams and cover the pot to let them steam open, about 5 minutes. Season the soup with many turns of freshly ground black pepper and stir everything together to heat through, but do not let it boil. Serve this in nice big bowls with some chopped parsley and Parmesan Oyster Crackers.
Parmesan Oyster Crackers:
  1. Preheat oven to 250 degrees F.
  2. Chop garlic cloves then sprinkle with some salt and smash to make a paste. Set a large nonstick pan over medium heat. Add butter, oil and garlic and swirl pan. Add oyster crackers and chopped flat-leaf parsley and toss to coat. Spread out on a sheet tray, season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with shredded Parmigiano. Pop into the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes until golden and crispy.

Instant Pot Mongolian Beef and Rice

Instant Pot Mongolian Beef and Rice
Instant Pot Mongolian Beef and Rice
Author:
Cuisine: American
Recipe type: Main dish
Ingredients
Meat Mixture:
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 – 1½ lbs flank steak, sliced across the grain into bite-sized pieces
Sauce Mixture:
  • 1 cup water
  • ½ cup soy sauce
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 10 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
  • ¼ tsp cayenne
Rice Mixture:
  • 2 cups long grain white rice, rinsed
  • 2¼ cups water
To Finish:
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp cold water
  • 4 green onions, green tops only, cut into 2-3” lengths
  • sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
  1. Add olive oil to the Instant Pot. Using the display panel select the SAUTE function.
  2. Add beef and cornstarch to a large bag or bowl and mix to coat beef evenly.
  3. When oil gets hot, brown the meat on both sides, 2-3 minutes per side. Meat will not be cooked through. Do not crowd the pot–you may have to work in batches.
  4. Add the Sauce Mixture ingredients to the pot and deglaze by using a wooden spoon to scrape the brown bits from the bottom of the pot.
  5. Turn the pot off by selecting CANCEL, then secure the lid, making sure the vent is closed.
  6. Place rinsed rice and water in a separate cooking pan with at least a 7-cup capacity. Place an extra-tall trivet or riser (we love these) in the bottom of the pot and place the rice-filled cooking pan on the trivet. Check that the bottom of the cooking pan is not in contact with the sauce mixture and that the top of the cooking pan does not exceed the Max line on the Instant Pot. (Note: If you don’t have these accessories, you can also make the rice separately!)
  7. Using the display panel select the MANUAL function*. Use the +/- keys and program the Instant Pot for 10 minutes.
  8. When the time is up, let the pressure naturally release for 10 minutes, then quick-release the remaining pressure.
  9. Open the pot and carefully remove the rice pan and riser. Fluff the rice with a fork and set aside.
  10. Mix together the cornstarch with 2 tbsp cold water in a small bowl and stir into the sauce until thickened, cooking 2-3 minutes, returning to SAUTE mode if needed.
  11. Add the green onions to the pot, stir to mix. Select CANCEL to turn off the pot and let the mixture cool for 5 minutes before serving.
  12. Serve beef and sauce over rice and garnish with sesame seeds.

Christmas Breakfast Eggs Benedict
Eggs Benny for Christmas anyone?
Author:
Cuisine: American
Recipe type: Main dish
Ingredients
  • 100 grams unsalted butter
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1.5 teaspoon Frank’s Classic Yellow Mustard
  • Pinch of salt, to taste
  • 4 english muffins
  • Frank’s Classic Yellow Mustard
  • 8 rashers of bacon, cooked
  • 8 eggs
  • ½ bunch parsley + a pinch of black pepper to garnish
Instructions
  1. Firstly make the hollandaise sauce. You can make this hollandaise really easily in a blender - It’s best to make just before serving. Put the egg yolks, lemon juice, Frank’s Classic Yellow Mustard in the blender and blend until mixed together.
  2. Melt the butter over a medium heat, you want it to be completely melted but not boiling hot.
  3. With the blender running slowly add the melted butter to the egg yolk mix. Keep pouring in the butter in a slow, steady stream until it is all added. Add a pinch of salt to taste.
  4. Once the hollandaise is ready you are ready to prep the rest
  5. Toast the muffins and poach the eggs. To get the perfect eggs heat water in a shallow pan until it is at a gentle boil. Give it a gentle whirl with a slotted spoon, and then drop the eggs in. Poach until the white is set and the yolk has a little wobble to it.
  6. Build your eggs benedict by spreading the toasted muffins with a generous dollop of Frank’s Classic Yellow Mustard. Then add the crispy bacon, followed by a poached egg on each muffin half. Finally pour over some of the creamy hollandaise, and finish with some cracked black pepper and a few sprigs of fresh parsley.

Author:
Cuisine: American
Recipe type: Dessert
Ingredients
  • 8 oz good-quality chocolate, semi-sweet (225 g)
  • ¾ cup butter, melted (170 g)
  • 1 ¼ cups sugar (250 g)
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour (95 g)
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder (30 g)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper.
  2. Chop the chocolate into chunks. Melt half of the chocolate in the microwave in 20-second intervals, saving the other half for later.
  3. In a large bowl, mix the butter and sugar with an electric hand mixer, then beat in the eggs and vanilla for 1-2 minutes, until the mixture becomes fluffy and light in color. Whisk in the melted chocolate (make sure it's not too hot or else the eggs will cook), then sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Fold to incorporate the dry ingredients, being careful not to overmix as this will cause the brownies to be more cake-like in texture. Fold in the chocolate chunks, then transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish.
  4. Bake for 20-25 minutes, depending on how fudgy you like your brownies, then cool completely.
  5. Slice, then serve with a nice cold glass of milk!
  6. Enjoy!
