Strongbow Turkey Schnitzel

Russ developed this recipe for the restaurant. It’s every bit as good as Wiener schnitzel and very popular with our family, as well as with our clientele. It cooks very fast, so watch it very carefully. You can buy the uncooked turkey breast in the market.

Serves 6

six 3-4 oz. raw turkey breast slices flour, as needed 3 eggs and an equal amount of water, whisked together for egg wash fine bread crumbs juice of 4 lemons 12 ozs. clarified butter 1

Carefully pound the turkey breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap until they are 1/4-inch thick (about 4x7-inches overall). Dust each on both sides with flour, then dredge through egg wash, then through bread crumbs. 2

Combine lemon juice and butter. Put enough lemon butter in a pan to sauté turkey pieces one or two at a time, depending on the pan size. After sautéing, dredge through remaining lemon butter mixture.

Strongbow Turkey Pie

This recipe dates back to the earliest days of Strongbow, more than sixty years ago, when mother was developing recipes that have come to be known across the country as signature dishes at Strongbow. Literally thousands are served and sold every year. If you aren’t close enough to Strongbow to buzz over and buy a few out of the freezer case, you can try your hand at making them at home.

Makes 4 Pies Dough

2 C. all-purpose flour 2/3 C. shortening OR lard 6 - 7 T. cold water Filling

4 T. butter 1 C. sliced celery 1/2 C. chopped onion 3 T. flour 1/2 tsp. salt 1/8 tsp. poultry seasoning 2 C. hot turkey broth 3 C. cubed turkey

Melt butter in medium skillet, add onion and celery, and sauté until transparent. Add flour, stirring constantly, and cook until bubbly. Now add broth and seasonings, stirring and cooking for several minutes until thick. Add turkey. Cool. 4

Place 6-inch round of dough in a small oven safe dish to shape the pie. Place turkey mixture in this and cover with the smaller 4-inch round of dough. Moisten edges, and bring up the edges of lower dough, crimping over top layer. (This smaller layer will be on the bottom for baking, the 6-inch round will be on top, nice and smooth). Before baking, poke a hole in the middle of the top. 5

Place the pies on a lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake in a 425˚F oven for about 25 minutes or until light brown. Serve with gravy. 6

Gravy

4 T. butter 1/4 C. flour 2 C. turkey broth 1/2 tsp. salt 1 1/2

In a bowl, stir together 2 cups flour and teaspoon salt. Cut in shortening until pieces are the size of small peas. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the water over part of the mixture and toss gently. Push to the side of the bowl. Repeat until all is moistened.

To make gravy, melt butter, blend in flour, and gradually add broth and salt until a nice thick gravy results. Serve over individual turkey pies, with cranberry sauce. 7

If you don’t have time to make your own pie crust, you can use store-bought. Just be sure you have enough crust for a 10-inch pie. Roll the dough and cut four 6-inch rounds and four 4-inch rounds. Strongbow Inn

Form dough into a ball. On a lightly floured surface, flatten dough. Roll into 1/8-inch thickness. Cut into four 4-inch diameter circles, and four 6-inch diameter circles. 11

Four Cheese Lasagna Serves 10 to 12 2-lb. box lasagna noodles (cook according to instructions) 15 ozs. Ricotta cheese 1/2 C. milk, whole 1/2 tsp. black pepper 1 tsp. oregano, dried 1/2 tsp. basil, dried 1 T. parsley, dried 2 C. Provolone cheese, grated 2 C. Mozzarella cheese, grated 11/2 C. Parmesan cheese, grated (1/2 C. for step #7) 3 C. béchamel 3 1/2 C. spaghetti sauce (set aside 1/2 C. for step #7) Needed equipment/special instructions:Preheat oven to 325˚F, sprayed 9x13-inch baking pan, small mixing bowl, scissors, spatula, ladle, and foil

Mix together ricotta, milk, black pepper, oregano, basil, and parsley, set aside. 2

In the bottom of baking dish spread a thin layer of béchamel and tomato sauce mixed.

Place last layer of noodles and then cover with remaining spaghetti sauce. Cover with foil. Bake for 20 minutes on a cookie sheet, turn and bake another 20 minutes. 7

Remove from oven, remove foil. Add remaining 1/2 cup to lasagna (target dried noodles) and then sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese. 8

Return to oven for 5 minutes, Parmesan cheese is browning. Remove, let set (5 minutes) before cutting. Tips: Can substitute whole grain noodles; recommend using half regular and half whole grain to experiment. Low fat cheeses are easily worked into recipe without change in flavor or mouth feel. I like to spread ricotta not dab, goes further saving money and calories. I never bake cheese on the top of a lasagna until the foil is removed and only need to heat and brown at very last of cooking. This basic recipe is great for adding any fillings too; if adding meat reduce cheese by half. Using béchamel makes for a creamy textured lasagna, cuts nice and melts in the mouth!

Recipes submitted by PASTArrific 3001 South Webster Street, Kokomo, Indiana, (765)455-1312 www.pastarrific.com

With the box of noodles you are trying to prepare 5 layers of pasta—divide noodles accordingly. (If 20 noodles, then 5 layers, 4 noodles per layer. Use scissors if needed.) 4

Place first layer of noodles, spread 1/4 of ricotta mixture over noodles, sprinkle 1/2 cup each of mozzarella, and 1/4 cup Parmesan. Drizzle with béchamel. 5

Repeat step #4 three more times.

Chef Cynthia of PASTArrific has a background in chemistry and biology and dubs herself “the culinary chemist.” Her menu has close to 100 items on it and many more that change with the seasons including over 15 whole-fish entrees, steaks, chops, chicken and, of course, pastas.

Cream of tomato basil soup Serves 6 to 8 2 T. butter 2 T. garlic, crushed (jar is ok) 11/2 tsps. sugar 3 C. tomatoes, canned, diced (drained) rough purée or finely chopped 3 T. dried basil 3 1/4 C. béchamel 3 C. tomato sauce 1/2 C. heaping Parmesan cheese 1 to 1/2 C. whole milk 2 lg. fresh basil leaves, chiffonade Needed equipment: 4-quart sauce pan, whisk, spatula, hand chopper, strainer, bowl

Place saucepan over low to medium heat, add butter and melt. 2

Stir in garlic and let cook for a minute, add tomatoes, sautéing for 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in sugar. Let pan come to a simmer.

Tips: “Why reduce the tomatoes from dice to rough puree? I want the soup to have a tiny bit of a texture to it.”

“Why add tomatoes to the pan first? It is a large volume ingredient that can heat well without sticking.”

Add in basil, béchamel and bring to simmer. 4

Gradually stir in tomato sauce, bring to simmer. 5

Remove from heat stir in Parmesan cheese. 6

Add milk (as needed) to bring soup to proper creaminess. Optional: when serving, garnish with basil chiffonades.

“Why use a béchamel? You get the creaminess without all the fat that heavy cream adds. And it’s more bang for less money!” “Always remove a pan from the heat before adding cheese; it’s also best not to boil once it’s added because the oil in the cheese tends to separate with higher heat.” “Dry herbs versus fresh? It depends what you’re looking for in your recipe. In this soup the dried basil is cooked into the recipe, allowing it to reconstitute and develop a nice flavor. Fresh basil is added as a garnish to enhance and showcase the undertone of the dried basil. It’s best not to garnish with dried herbs; fresh herbs add a nice pop of flavor.” “Why canned tomatoes and not fresh? Consistent quality and many times fresher for the desired use.”

Chicken Marsala Serves 2 as a main entree, 4 if as a second entrée two 8-oz. skinless chicken beasts (butterfly if whole) 1 C. breading (your favorite) 3 ozs. oil (olive, canola or corn) 1 C. mushrooms, packed tight, sliced 1/2 tsp. garlic, crushed 6 ozs. Marsala wine (dry) 6 ozs. béchamel sauce 1/4 C. milk salt, to taste pepper, to taste Needed equipment: medium sauté pan, tongs, whisk, spatula

Place skillet on medium heat, add oil, in the meantime cover chicken breasts in crumbs, shake off excess; when oil is hot, place chicken in, lower heat to between low and medium. (Lowering the heat allows for cooking on the inside before burning on outside.) 2

Turn chicken only after a nice color of golden brown; do the same on the other side. Check temperature to make sure it is at least 130˚F. Remove to a plate, cover to keep warm. Use the skillet to finish sauce. 3

Skillet should already be hot; add the garlic move it around. 4

To skillet add the mushrooms and marsala. Allow the alcohol to cook off.

Whisk in the béchamel, return chicken to the skillet and let simmer. Turn chicken once to coat and cook both sides. Take temperature before serving. Chicken needs to be at least 165˚F. 6

Once temperature has been reached, place chicken on serving platter. 7

Check the sauce for thickness; add milk (sparingly) to thin sauce. Remove from heat and pour over chicken. Garnish with a sprig of parsley. Tips and thoughts: Make sure sauté pan is free of water before adding oil. Place the chicken into the pan away from you to avoid splash and burns. Caution! Turn burners off before adding marsala to pan, then return pan to stove. Use a cooking thermometer to make sure chicken reaches 165 F. Garnishing is fun but only garnish with edible items! Most of my recipes don’t include a lot of salt. I like to under-salt because many times the salt will accumulate naturally from the other ingredients and by reduction cooking, thereby allowing the table salt to finish the dish.

Chef Cynthia…PASTArrific Italian Restaurant

Bechamel Sauce Yields 1-1/4 quarts 1 qt. cold milk 1/4 C. butter 1/4 C. canola or olive oil 1/2 C. flour (all-purpose, sifted) salt, to taste…use a fresh spoon each time white pepper, to taste…like looking at the picture just painted nutmeg, smidgeon garlic powder, smidgeon Needed equipment: 2 to 3 quart saucepan, whisk, measuring cups and spoons, scraping spatula, strainer, bowl

Gather all the ingredients and equipment. 2

In a sauce pan, heat oil and butter over medium heat. 3

Gradually add the sifted flour, stirring with whisk.

Remove desired amount to be used in another recipe. And then ice bath the rest for storage. Tips: Picking a saucepan…a good rule of thumb is about twice the size of the largest volume of liquid. Ex. Milk 1 quart, then use a 2quart. Stainless steel is best as aluminum may discolor the sauce. Why cold milk? Helps to prevent lumps that usually occur when a hot liquid is added to a starch. Why use all-purpose flour? it has about the right starch content. Bread flour could be used but not cake flour. Cooking of roux is more by sight and smell than time as all stoves cook differently. For a Blond roux cook until an aroma of peanuts or cooked piecrust is detected. To taste means just that…actually taste the finished dish and then add sparingly. It is always best to add salt at the end of a recipe, this is because other ingredients may carry salt and the cooking process might cause it to increase as liquid is lost. Storage of this sauce can be in refrigerator up to 7 days or in freezer up to one month. Always date and label, to know freshness. freezing is best done in a labeled and dated zip-top freezer bag. Always make sure the bag is slightly bigger than amount to be frozen to allow for expansion during freezing process. Freeze flat for easier thawing in refrigerator.

Chef Cynthia…PASTArrific Italian Restaurant

Continue mixing and cooking, over low to medium heat, until roux is white. 5

Remove pan from heat once desired color is reached; add cold milk in small amounts, continually stirring. Once all milk has been added, return to heat. 6

Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly. Bring to a light boil and then reduce to a simmer. Notice the change from a liquid to a “gravy-like” consistency. 7

Remove from heat, strain, then taste and season. 17

RASPBERRY CREAM CREPE CAKE Crepes

3 C. milk 6 eggs 3 C. all-purpose flour 3/4 C. powdered sugar 1 T. oil 4 T. butter, browned or melted salt, a pinch 1

With a mixer beat the eggs well, then add the milk. Add flour and powdered sugar a little at a time making sure none is around the sides or bottom of bowl. Also make sure there are no flour lumps. Add the oil, salt and the melted butter. The batter should coat a spoon loosely. 2

Heat a 9-inch skillet on medium heat, and make sure it is as hot as it can get before you ladle batter into it. Ladle enough to the center of the skillet and roll the skillet around so that the batter moves all around the pan. If the batter bubbles up and burns, reduce the heat. You’re looking for a nice, slower heat. Crepe is done when edges are slightly browned and crepe is not burned. Make ten, stack them between layers of wax paper.

Filling

3 C. milk dash of vanilla 8 egg yolks 6 T. corn starch 3/4 C. sugar seedless raspberry jam 3

While heating the milk with vanilla, beat the yolks with the sugar to combine well. Stir in the cornstarch into the sugar. Temper the milk and eggs and then add the egg mixture to the milk. Bring this mixture to boil then remove from heat while stirring. You will feel the corn starch thickening the mixture. Add the butter and cool completely before using. 4

2 T. butter I sm. onion, diced 2 med. sized leeks, washed & diced with hard layer removed salt, if desired pepper, if desired herbes de provence, if desired 8 fresh eggs 2 C. milk 2 C. heavy cream 2 T. salt 1 T. pepper 6 ozs. chevre goat cheese CRUST

11/2 C. all-purpose flour 1 stick butter, cut into pieces 3-5 T. cold water 1

Preheat oven to 375˚F. In a small skillet on medium heat, melt the 2 tablespoons butter, then add the onion and leek. Reduce heat slightly and cook mixture until onion is translucent and leek is softer. (You can add dashes of salt & pepper if you wish; I also like to add a few pinches of herbes de provence if available.) 2

Beat the 8 eggs in a bowl, add the milk and cream and the measured salt and pepper to the egg mixture; whisk to combine well.

In a food processor, combine flour and butter and process until it resembles a fine meal. Add 3 tablespoons water and pulse. If mixture doesn’t come together, add water a little at a time until dough is formed. Roll out dough so it measures approximately 14 inches around. Lightly spray a 9-inch springform pan or a 9-inch removeable bottom metal pan, and carefully insert the crust so a bit is hanging over the sides, making sure there are no holes in the crust anywhere. 4

Using a spatula, carefully move the leek and onions to the bottom of the crust and spread to evenly distribute. Using your clean fingers, crumble the goat cheese and, as best you can, evenly distribute over the leek and onion mixture. Slowly pour on the egg mixture. 5

Bake at 375˚F for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until a knife inserted comes out clean. Quiche may still look a bit jiggly in the center. Cool before serving and be sure to run a knife around the edge of the pan and the crust to break it free from the pan.

Boxty

Baked Cod

Serves 4

Serves 4 to 6

Perhaps one of Ireland’s most well-known potato dishes, boxty is a versatile side-dish that goes equally well on the dinner or breakfast plate.

8 ozs. freshly cooked potatoes 8 ozs. peeled raw potatoes 2 C. flour 1/2 tsp. baking soda 11/2 C. buttermilk salt, pinch butter, for frying Peel the cooked potatoes while they are still hot, then mash. Grate the raw potatoes and add them to the mashed with sifted flour and baking soda. Mix well and add buttermilk until you have made a stiff batter. Then heat a frying pan, grease it with butter and drop the batter onto the pan—about 4 tablespoons per pancake. Cook for approximately five minutes on either side on medium-high heat until the cakes are golden brown.

A Lenten centerpiece, baked cod is another Irish favorite. This recipe serves as a foundation for a variety of fish bakes—simply add your favorite seafood to the recipe.

6 pieces cod 2 T. butter 1 T. finely chopped white onion salt, to taste pepper, to taste 3-4 fresh or dried bay leaves 2 C. heavy cream flour, as needed

Nine Irish Brothers is an award-winning traditional Irish pub with two convenient locations in greater Lafayette, Indiana. The family-owned and operated restaurant serves premium Irish food and spirits with items ranging from salads to steak to Irish favorites such as Guinness Stew, Shepherd's Pie, and Fish & Chips.

Melt the butter in a large sauté pan. Fry the chopped onion gently for a few minutes until soft but not caramelized. Place cod in the pan and cook on both sides for one minute. Season with salt and pepper. Add the bay leaves. Cover the fish with cream and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, until the fish is cooked. Remove the fish to individual serving dishes. Bring the liquid to boil and lightly thicken with flour, stirring to avoid lumps. Be careful—a little flour goes a long way. If overly thickened, add more butter and cream until you reach the desired consistency. Taste for seasoning and adjust. Coat the fish with the sauce and serve, being careful to remove the bay leaves. Goes well with mashed potatoes. Nine Irish Brothers

Potato Leek Soup

Sherri 's Pasta LA SCALA Serves 4

Serves 4 to 6

11/2 lbs. linguine (already cooked) 2 C. cherry tomatoes 2 C. sliced zucchini and/or yellow squash 2 (loosely packed) C. chopped kale (spinach is a good substitute; we like kale’s brighter color and it does not wilt the way spinach does) 2 T. minced shallots 2 T. garlic 2 T. parsley 2 T. Parmesan cheese 1 pat of butter 2 T. extra virgin olive oil 3 ozs. dry white wine 1 sprig basil

A staple of the Irish countryside, potato leek soup is typical of Irish cuisine in that it is simple to make and uses local ingredients.

5 medium-sized leeks, cleaned & chopped into small pieces (remove the dark green sections) 3 T. butter pinch of kosher salt 3 sm. potatoes (preferably Yukon gold), peeled & diced 1 qt. vegetable broth 1 C. heavy cream 1 C. buttermilk 1/2 tsp. white pepper 1 T. fresh chives 1

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the leeks and salt and sauté for 5 minutes, being careful to keep an eye on overheating. Lower the heat to medium-low and cook the leeks for approximately 25 minutes or until tender. Add both potatoes and vegetable broth then increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the potatoes are soft (30 to 45 minutes). 2

Finally, turn off the heat and stir in heavy cream, buttermilk, and white pepper. Sprinkle with chives or parsley before serving. (Optional: before adding cream, buttermilk, and white pepper, purée the soup in a blender. Chilled puréed version is a great summertime soup.)

Heat olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add garlic, shallots, parsley, and then all the vegetables and sauté lightly. Be careful not to overcook the vegetables. Add white wine and butter. Add hot pasta. (Pasta can be pre-prepared and then warmed for about 20 seconds in boiling water). Toss to coat pasta with sauce and put on plates.

Mogger’s Restaurant & Pub is located in a historic building built in 1837. It houses a rich part of early beer brewing history in the Wabash Valley. Matthas Mogger, the restaurant’s namesake, was a German immigrant and one of the pioneers of early brewing. Mogger’s Brewery lasted for 20 years before becoming part of The Terre Haute Brewing Company and, by the late 1800s, was the 7th largest brewery in the United States. Beneath Mogger’s there is a series of tunnels dating back to the 1800s. Before refrigeration, wooden kegs of beer were taken underground and placed in cooling tunnels for storage. The tunnels were also used to transport beer to the Wabash and Erie Canals. The tunnels were again used during prohibition. Mogger’s Restaurant is a tribute to the brewing tradition that once thrived in Terre Haute and features a turn-of-the-century atmosphere decked out with antique brewing equipment. The restaurant and bar are decorated with pieces of local history, including the front door to Tony Hulman’s childhood home.

DAVE'S FAMOUS PICKLED BEETS

Drain all the beets and put the juice separately in a big bowl. 2

Add cinnamon, cloves, sugar and vinegar to the juice. 3

Mix, blend, or whip all ingredients and juice vigorously. 4

Add the drained beets to the juice. Stir vigorously. 5

Store overnight in the cooler refrigerator.

After 24 hours, stir again and beets are ready for eating. Tips: You can put extra beets in Mason jars for later, but be sure to keep in the juice. Refrigerated beets can last up to 3 to 4 days. Always stir beets before serving.

(pictured on page 54)

Using a mixer or blender for the juice is best.

To make the best pickled beets anywhere purchase at least a gallon of either sliced or tiny whole beets from a Gordon Foodservice Store or other store selling restaurant products. (Using your local grocery store may require several cans to add up to a gallon.) Lay out your tools – big mixing bowl or tub, big spoon or whip and your ingredients…ground cinnamon, ground cloves, sugar and white vinegar. Now follow the following steps to great tasting pickled beets.

You may try reducing ingredients for smaller portions of beets.

(Amounts can vary based on personal taste.) 1 gal. sliced or tiny whole beets 8 ozs. ground cinnamon 6 ozs. ground cloves 3 coffee cups sugar 36 ozs. white vinegar

Tiny whole beets work best compared to sliced beets. Too much clove gives beets a “medicine” taste.

Iozzo’s was originally opened in 1930 as Naples Grill by Fred Iozzo, an Italian immigrant. It was the city’s first full-service Italian restaurant, and it quickly became very popular. After a few years Fred moved the restaurant to the corner of Illinois and Washington where he ran the restaurant with his sons Vincent and Dominic and named it Iozzo’s Garden of Italy. The restaurant went out of business due to an unfortunate “accident” in 1941; check out their website to read the fascinating story. The restaurant’s current location was opened in July of 2009 by Greg Harris and his fiancé Katie Cummings. Katie is the Granddaughter of Dominic Iozzo. Using inspirations and recipes from the original Iozzo’s restaurant, they plan on turning it once again into the premier Italian Restaurant of the Midwest.

But locals also know the restaurant for its resident “ghost” Walter, a former employee that is said to haunt the eatery. Employees and guests alike claim to have witnessed lights flickering, doors that open and close and shelves that crash to the ground. When the unexplained happens they say, “Oh that’s just Walter.” Walter’s popularity led The Overlook to create “Walter’s Pub” in his honor.

Fried Cheesecake

You may begin this recipe with a store bought cheesecake or make your own with the recipe that follows.

Filling

2 pkgs. cream cheese 4 lg. eggs 1 C. sugar 12-oz. container sour cream 1 tsp. vanilla extract zest from 1 lemon Crust

box of graham crackers C. melted butter dash of cinnamon 1/2 1/2

Start by preheating the oven to 325˚F. Begin by combining the sugar with the eggs and blend until light and frothy. Slowly add the cream cheese. 2

Add the cheesecake mixture and place pan into a shallow dish. Pour hot water into dish until is comes up to half the sides of your cheesecake pan. Place into oven and bake 11/2 hours or until cheesecake is set. Remove and cool to room temperature. If you are frying your cheesecake, wrap cheesecake well in plastic wrap and place the finished cake in the freezer for 24 hours.

When ready to bread the cheesecake remove from freezer and cut into desired pieces. To setup your breading station, start with three shallow pans. The first pan place 3 cups all-purpose flour. In the second pan place 8 to 10 beaten eggs. In the final pan, place the breading. This breading can be anything you desire from panko bread crumbs to your favorite crumbled up cookies. (Our breading is a family secret.) Start by dredging each piece of cheesecake in flour, then dip each piece in the egg mixture and finally in the breading mixture. Place each piece in a freezer container lined with foil. Place the container back in the freezer for another 24 hours. 5

Heat your frying oil, this can be vegetable or canola, to 350˚F and place the frozen pieces of breaded cheesecake in the oil for 2 to 4 minutes or until golden brown.
