Quick Greek Pasta Salad with Steak
Category: salad
By Polo

One quick, unique and healthy meal that will liven up your taste buds!

Ingredients:
8 ounces whole wheat penne pasta
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 (1 pound) beef rib eye steak
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon minced garlic
¼ cup chopped shallots
1 tablespoon soy sauce
½ cup sun-dried tomato pesto
½ cup sliced black olives
1 cup chopped fresh spinach
1 teaspoon basil
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
½ cup crumbled feta cheese
3 tablespoons sunflower kernels

Directions:
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente.  When cooked, drain, then toss with olive oil, and keep warm. Meanwhile, melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium-high heat.  Sear the rib-eye on both sides until rosy-pink in the center, 7 to 10 minutes depending on thickness.  Remove steak from skillet and cut into bite-size pieces. Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter in the skillet, and stir in the garlic and shallots.  Cook 5 to 10 seconds until fragrant, then return the steak to the pan and cook for another 5 minutes or to desired doneness.  Stir in the soy sauce, and cook a few seconds longer, allowing it to evaporate. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the sun-dried tomato pesto, olives, spinach, basil, parsley, feta cheese and sunflower kernels.  Toss with the pasta in a large bowl and serve.

1 cup butter
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons butter
¾ pound fresh mushrooms, finely chopped
½ medium onion, chopped
⅛ teaspoon dried thyme
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 ½ teaspoons all-purpose flour
½ cup sour cream

Directions:
In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese and 1 cup of butter until well blended. Mix in the flour until fully incorporated. Pat into a ball, and refrigerate while you make the filling. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet. Add the mushrooms and onion. Season with thyme, salt and pepper. Cook and stir until tender, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle the flour over everything so it won't get lumpy, then reduce the heat to low, and stir in the sour cream. Heat just until thickened, then remove from the heat. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to about 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into 3 inch rounds. Place a small amount of the mushroom mixture on one side of each circle, then fold the dough over and press to seal. Prick the tops with a fork to vent steam, and place the pastries on a baking sheet. (They can also be frozen at this time until needed.) Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown. If baking frozen turnovers, it may take an additional 5 minutes.

Gratin of Oranges


Ingredients:
navel oranges, sugar, rum, lemon juice, orange zest, powdered sugar

Directions:
Peel and slice the oranges: Using a sharp paring knife, slice off the bottom and the top of each orange, exposing the flesh underneath; following the curve of the fruit, cut a one-half to 1-inch wide vertical strip of the peel; repeat, working your way around the orange until you've cut away all the peel; trim any white pith.
Slice the orange into quarter-inch slices and place in a baking dish (a 12-inch round dish works well].
Repeat, using all of the oranges.
In a small heat-proof bowl, combine the egg yolks, sugar, orange juice, rum, lemon juice and orange zest and stir to combine with a whisk.
Place the bowl over a small pan of simmering water, like a double-boiler, and continue stirring with the whisk; the mixture will foam a little, then turn pale and finally thicken after about 3 to 5 minutes.
When the mixture is thick enough that the whisk leaves tracks in it, remove the bowl from the heat, whisk rapidly to cool it down, and pour it through a fine strainer into a clean bowl.
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate (the dish can be prepared to this point up to 8 hours in advance and refrigerated separately].
When almost ready to serve, beat the whipping cream with a balloon whisk until it forms stiff peaks.
Stir the egg mixture to loosen it, adding any orange juice that has collected in the bottom of the baking dish.
Gently fold the egg mixture into the whipping cream.
Sprinkle the oranges with the powdered sugar and stir to combine.
Spoon the egg mixture over the oranges in a haphazard pattern (there won't be enough to completely cover the fruit, so don't worry].
Sprinkle with the slivered almonds and place the baking dish under a cold broiler as close to the flame as possible.
Turn on the broiler and heat just until the gratin puffs and browns, about 4 to 5 minutes.
Alternatively, you can brown the top with a creme brulee torch. Serve immediately.

Directions:
The shortcrust pastry is the same as this one http://www.food.com/recipe/shortcrust-pastry-177343 except I use margarine instead of butter.
Combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Add the margarine and either crumble by hand or mix in a food processor until the margarine is evenly distributed. Add cool water until the dough is firm, but pliable. Wrap in plastic wrap and put in the fridge to set for 30 minutes or the next day. Dough can also be frozen.
Preheat your oven to 220 degrees C (430 F].
Fry the bacon in a non-stick pan until it has yielded all its fat. If there is too much fat in the pan, use a paper towel to soak up some of the fat. Add ham. Wait a couple of minutes. Add onion. Wait until the onion is starting to become glassy. Add garlic and carrots and stir for about a minute. Take off the heat.
Put eggs, milk, salt, pepper and chives in a bowl and mix carefully until there is an even colour. Don't stir too much! Rather too little!
Take half the dough and roll out to the shape of your pan and a bit larger. Lay in the pan making sure it goes all the way up to the edge. Add the meat and such from the frying pan and even it out over the dough. Pour in the egg/milk mixture.
Bake at 220 C for 30-40 minutes until the egg mixture becomes dark golden brown.
