Sue Millar Perrys Raspberry Coulis Recipes

BERRY COULIS

Steps:

• Combine the berries, sugar, lemon juice, salt and 1 tablespoon water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the berries begin to give off their juice, 1 to 2 minutes. Adjust the heat so the sauce is simmering rapidly and cook until the berries have broken down, 4 to 5 minutes. Let cool slightly.
• Transfer to a blender and blend until smooth. Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer, pressing on the solids to extract as much of the sauce as possible. Serve the sauce cold or at room temperature.

RASPBERRY COULIS

Steps:

• Combine raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice in the bowl of a small food processor. Blend until smooth and sugar has dissolved, 15 to 20 seconds. Adjust sugar if desired, and blend again.
• Strain mixture using a fine mesh strainer to remove seeds. Refrigerate until ready to use.

• Combine juice and cornstarch in a small bowl, whisking until blended.
• Add cornstarch mixture to fruit mixture and bring to a boil over medium heat.
• Cook 5 minutes or until thick, stirring constantly.
• Strain again into a bowl and discard solids.
• Cool, cover and chill.

SUE MILLAR PERRY'S GRILLED BUTTERFLIED LEG OF LAMB

Steps:

• Combine the wine, soy sauce, oil, garlic and herbs and pour over the lamb in a shallow glass or enamel pan (aluminum will react with acidity in the wine and affect the taste). Refrigerate, covered, for 6 hours, turning the lamb occasionally.
• Prepare coals for grilling. Drain the lamb and reserve the marinade. Place the lamb on the grill 4 inches above the coals. Grill 15 minutes per side for rare, or 20 for medium, basting frequently with the marinade. Slice thinly and arrange on a large platter garnished with sprigs of fresh rosemary.

SUE MILLAR PERRY'S MINT PESTO

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Meanwhile, combine the mint, cheese and oil in a food processor. Blend to a paste. Place the nuts in an ungreased heavy skillet and toast on all sides over medium heat, stirring constantly. When the water is boiling, add the pasta and cook al dente, about 7 to 8 minutes for packaged dry pasta. Drain well and toss with pesto. Stir in the walnuts.
