assistant: I hope you enjoy it. I tried it and thought it was very good.
This looks like a keeper, now to get the chief cook and bottle washer to
fix it some time in the next week or two.  (She ain't looking in my
direction yet so better send this fast).

assistant: PORK NORMANDE
Yield: 2 dinner portions
Ingredients
6 each slices of pork loin or pork tenderloin
(about 1.5 oz. per slice, 5 oz. of pork per order)
1/2 c. all purpose flour
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. ground black pepper
1/4 c. clarified butter
2 tblspn. brandy
1 each Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored, sliced
1 c. heavy cream
1 tsp. fresh chopped parsley
      as needed salt
      as needed ground black pepper
Procedure
Take the pork loin slices and place them in between two pieces
of plastic wrap.  Using a heavy bottom pot or meat mallet,
pound lightly so that the pork flattens and spreads.  After they
are pounded, keep them refrigerated until you are ready to cook them.
Mix the first salt and pepper into the flour.  Prepare the
apples.  If you slice them just before you cook the dish, you do
not need to put them into water or coat them with lemon juice to
keep them from turning brown.
Heat the saute or frying pan until it is very hot.  Dredge the
pork in the seasoned flour.  Add the butter to the frying pan.
Carefully lay the pieces of pork into the pan and cook them over high
heat until they are lightly browned on both sides.
Remove the pork to the serving plates.
Add the apples to the same pan the pork was cooked in.  Toss them
in the butter and pan drippings from the pork for about 1 minute.
Add the brandy away from the flame.  Return to the heat, allow the
brandy to ignite and burn off the alcohol.  Add the cream to the
apples and allow it to come to a boil and reduce in volume until
it becomes the thickness of sauce that will coat the back of a spoon.
Using a slotted spoon, place apples on top of each of the
plates of pork.  Add the chopped parsley to the sauce, taste
for seasoning.  Pour the sauce over the top of each plate of pork.
Serve with your favorite vegetable and rice pilaf.

salt and pepper.  Pour the sauce with the sliced mushrooms and shallots
in it over each of the portions of fish.  Place the whole decorated
mushroom cap on top of each portion.

assistant: RISOTTA
Yield: 2 dinner servings
Ingredients
3 tblspn. clarified or whole butter
1/4 c. small diced Spanish onion
3/4 c. arborio rice
2 1/2 c. chicken broth
1/4 c. fontina cheese
2 tblspn. grated parmesan cheese
1 tblspn. fresh chopped chives
Procedure
Melt the butter in a 3 qt. sauce pot over medium high heat.
Add the onion and saute until it is soft but not browned.
Add the rice and stir until the rice is coated with the
butter.
Reduce the heat to medium low and add the chicken stock in
1/2 cup batches, stirring constantly, adding each additional
1/2 c. of stock as the rice absorbs the liquid.  The rice
will become mushy like porridge or oatmeal as you cook it
this way.
When all of the stock has been added, taste the rice to see
if it is done.  It should be soft inside and out.  Add the
cheeses and the chives.  Season with salt and pepper.  Serve
immediately.
The finished consistency of the rissoto should be very soft,
almost runny.  If it is too thick, a small amount of water
or additional chicken stock may be added to adjust the
consistency.

assistant: GAMBERETTI ALA CREMA
Yield: 2 dinner portions
Ingredients
12 each large shrimp, raw (tail shell, feet shell and sand
vein removed)
1 c. all purpose flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
1/4 c. clarified butter or whole butter
1/4 c. brandy
1/2 c. heavy cream
1/2 c. crumbled Gorgonzola cheese (Italian blue veined
cheese)
2 tblspn. grated parmesan cheese
1 tblspn. fresh chopped marjoram or parsley
as needed salt and pepper
Procedure
Combine the salt, pepper and flour.  Dredge the shrimp in
the seasoned flour and shake off the excess.
Using a large saute pan over high heat, add the butter.
When it begins to froth , add the shrimp all at once.
Make sure that they are not touching each other.  Lower
the heat to medium and cook the shrimp on both sides until
they are pink and light golden brown (this takes about
2 minutes).
Remove the pan from the heat, add the brandy, and return to
the heat.  If you are using a gas stove, the brandy will
ignite and burn briefly as the alcohol burns off.  If you
are using electric and want to see the flame, you will need
to light it with a match.  The alcohol will dissipate after
about 30 seconds.
Add the cream and cook for about 1 minute or until it
begins to just thicken.  Add the cheese and the herbs and
stir until they melt and the sauce appears to be smooth and
coating the shrimp.
Serve the shrimp in the sauce over your favorite rice or
pasta.
Happy Cooking

Juice of 1 lemon
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter

1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/4 cup minced walnuts
