Manchego With Honey Brown Butter Sauce Recipes

HONEY GLAZED FRIED MANCHEGO CHEESE

Steps:

• Place the flour, egg, and panko bread crumbs in 3 separate dishes.
• Dip the cheese cubes into each ingredient to coat, starting with the flour and ending with the panko.
• Preheat the canola oil in a deep fryer to 375 degrees F, (or in a large heavy-bottomed saucepan, pour enough oil to fill the pan about a third of the way. Heat over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer inserted in the oil reaches 375 degrees F.) If you don't have a thermometer, a cube of bread will brown in about 3 minutes.
• Add the breaded cheese to the hot oil, in batches, and deep fry until the cubes are crisp and golden.
• Remove the cheese from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined baking sheet to absorb the excess oil. Transfer the cheese to a serving platter, drizzle with the honey, and dust with the paprika.

BASIC BROWN SAUCE

Steps:

• Place the veal shank and knucklebones in a roasting pan, season with salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil. Roast in a preheated 350 degrees F oven for 45 minutes. When the veal pieces are brown, brush them with 3 tablespoons of tomato paste and season again. Raise the oven temperature to 450 degrees F and return the pan to the oven for 15 more minutes. Melt butter in a large stockpot over medium heat. Saute the mirepoix vegetables and thyme in the butter to coat then stir in the remaining tomato paste and continue cooking until the vegetables are caramelized. Pour in the red wine to deglaze, stir. Transfer the browned bones to the stockpot. Whisk in the water and broth. Add the bouquet garni and bring the sauce to a boil. Simmer gently for about 3 hours, skimming periodically. Strain the sauce through cheesecloth or a chinois to remove the bones and vegetable solids. Continue to cook for 1 hour more, skimming any foam that rises to the top, until the sauce is reduced to 2 cups and nicely thickened. Taste for strength and seasoning. May whisk in a pat of softened butter to finish the sauce.
• Serve with meats or poultry.

WHIPPED SWEET POTATOES AND BANANAS WITH HONEY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Prick the sweet potatoes all over with a fork, put in a roasting pan and roast 30 minutes. Toss the bananas into the pan and continue roasting until the bananas and potatoes are very soft, 10 to 15 more minutes. Remove from the oven but don't turn off the oven.
• When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut in half and scoop out the flesh into a large bowl. Peel the bananas and add them to the bowl along with 1 stick butter and the honey. Season with salt and beat vigorously with a wooden spoon until everything is well combined and the mixture is fluffy. Spoon into a shallow 2-quart baking dish; smooth the top.
• Use your fingers to rub the remaining stick of butter, the brown sugar, flour and pecans in a bowl until the mixture is combined. Sprinkle over the sweet potatoes and return to the oven until the topping is golden brown, about 20 minutes.
