Saturday Night Recipe and Super-Fun Extra Recipe

Beef and Tomatoes on Rice

I know that I don't like to just serve leftovers as is, but the juices and sauce made from the pot roast Wednesday does taste phenomenal on rice, on its own!


Ingredients
Leftovers from the pot roast meal
1 1/2 cups uncooked rice

1)Put 3 cups of water on to boil in a medium saucepan with tight-fitting lid. When boiling, add the rice, cover, and lower heat and simmer 20 minutes, or until all water is absorbed.
2)In a separate saucepan, slowly heat the pot roast leftovers. Shred up remaining beef and vegetables.
3)Serve the leftovers over the rice.





Super Fun Extra Recipe!

This is from the show "Tyler's Ultimate" with Chef Tyler Florence. This recipe was featured on the episode with the Pot Roast recipe from Thursday. I just made this cake - it is amazing! If the way to your man's heart is through his stomach, MAKE HIM THIS CAKE!



Chocolate Cracked Earth (Flourless Chocolate Cake)

Ingredients
1 pound bittersweet chocolate, chopped into small pieces
1 stick unsalted butter
9 large eggs, separated
3/4 cup granulated sugar, plus 1 tablespoon
2 cups heavy cream, cold Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

1)Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-inch springform pan.
2)Put the chocolate and butter into the top of a double boiler (or in a heatproof bowl) and heat over (but not touching) about 1 inch of simmering water until melted.
3)Meanwhile, whisk the egg yolks with the sugar in a mixing bowl until light yellow in color. Whisk a little of the chocolate mixture into the egg yolk mixture to temper the eggs - this will keep the eggs from scrambling from the heat of the chocolate - then whisk in the rest of the chocolate mixture.
4)Beat the egg whites in a mixing bowl until stiff peaks form and fold into the chocolate mixture. 5)Pour into the prepared pan and bake until the cake is set, the top starts to crack and a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out with moist crumbs clinging to it, 20 to 25 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes, then remove sides of pan.
6)While the cake is cooking, whip the cream until it becomes light and fluffy.
Serve at room temperature dusted with confectioners' sugar and topped with whipped cream.
