New Recipes

Hi Everyone,

I just finished supper and I wanted to share some new recipes that I have done the past two days.  Sunday we went to the Italian Festa here in Vandergrift, Pa and it inspired me to make some Braiole (stuffed steak). So yesterday we had Braiole, red skinned mashed potatoes with dark brown gravy and fresh garden tomato salad.  The guys loved it and my future daughter in law liked the potatoes.  Below is my recipe for Braiole.

Braiole

boneless round steak, pounded thin

Filling

7 slices of bread run through a food processor
1 green pepper and 1 peeled onion finely chopped in food processor
garlic finely chopped
2 large eggs slightly beaten
salt
pepper

Mix all the filling ingredients together and spread onto the steak.  Roll the steak and place in roaster.  Top with a little steak sauce.  Add about a 1/3 cup of water to the bottom to keep from sticking.  Baste often till steak is done and filling is cooked through.   ENJOY!!!!

Now today meal was totally different from yesterdays meal.  We had baked Tilapia with Lemon Salsa Verde and round mini raviolis with homemade marinara sauce.  Below is the recipes for the Lemon Salsa Verde and the Homemade marinara sauce.

Lemon Salsa Verde

1/3 cup of each:
   mint
   parsley
   basil
2-3 cloves of garlic
1/2 cup of canola or olive oil
zest of one lemon
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 to 1 cup of lemon juice
1 - 2 tablespoons of cornstarch
about 1/4 cup of sugar
salt and pepper to taste

In a food processor mix together the herbs, garlic, oil zest of one lemon and salt and pepper.  Set aside.
In a pan mix and heat together lemon juice, cornstarch, sugar and salt and pepper.  Heat until thick and then remove from heat and let set or put in frig to cool.  After fish is baked mix the herb mixture and the lemon sauce together and warm.  Drizzle over fish and serve.  You will have some left over.  Store in frig.  Use within a couple of days or freeze.  ENJOY!!!

I hope you give them a try.  Let me know what you think.

Hugs,
Janet
