Martha Stewart's Pumpkin Pie

Here is a "delightful" recipe as Martha Stewart would say for Pumpkin Pie!


Martha Stewart's Pumpkin Pie

1 cup packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1 1/2 cups fresh Pumpkin Puree or canned
3 large eggs, lightly beaten, plus
1 egg for glaze
1 1/2 cups evaporated milk
1 tablespoon heavy cream

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment
paper; set aside. In a large bowl, combine sugar, cornstarch, salt,
ginger, cinnamon, cloves, pumpkin puree, and 3 eggs. Beat well. Add
evaporated milk, and combine. Set aside.

Between two pieces of plastic wrap, roll pate brisee into a 12-inch
circle. Fit pastry into a 9-inch glass pie plate; trim dough evenly
along edge, leaving about a 1/2-inch overhang. Pinch to form a
decorative edge. If the dough begins to soften, chill for 15
minutes.

Make the glaze: Beat the remaining egg, and combine with heavy
cream. Brush glaze very lightly on edges of pie shell. Fill pie
shell with pumpkin mixture. Transfer to prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F, and continue
baking for 30 minutes more. Cool on a wire rack.

Yield: 8 servings

Tip:
For the best flavor, use a sugar pumpkin to make a homemade Pumpkin
Puree. This variety of pumpkin, also known as 'New England Pie' and
'Sugar Pie,' weighs from five to eight pounds and is known for its
sweet, fine-grained flesh.

5 Star Secret Restaurant Recipe For Pork

The 5 star recipe collection is a compilation of recipes from 5 star restaurants around the world!
Here is a delicious recipe from the 5 star recipe collection:

Caramel Braised Pork w/ Pineapple and Black Pepper from P*ong (NY)


Ingredients:
2 pounds boneless pork loin
1/2 cup and 2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons and 2 teaspoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons and 2 teaspoons fish sauce
1/2 cup pineapple, cut into 1/4-inch cubes, with juice
1/4 cup sake or white wine
1 tablespoon coarsely ground black pepper
2 scallions, white part only, with roots
1 scallion, sliced and cut in julienne strips, for garnish
2 one-inch pieces ginger
1 medium sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
Salt to taste

Method:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut pork into 1/2-inch thick slices.
In an ovenproof pot, mix together sugar, lemon juice, and 2
tablespoons water. Clean sides of the pot to remove residual sugar
with a brush dipped in water.

Cook mixture over high heat until it darkens. Meanwhile, combine
soy sauce, fish sauce, pineapple juice, sake, pepper, white part of
scallion and ginger. Add soy sauce mixture to sugar mixture.

Return sauce to the boil. Taste and add more sugar and salt if
necessary as pineapple is sometimes not as sweet as it should be.
Bring mixture to a boil, turn off heat and place pieces of pork in
the caramel. The caramel should come up at least two thirds of the
way up the pork pieces. If not, change to a smaller pot. Fold the
mixture so that the pineapple is on top of the pork.

Cook for 15 minutes or until pork is tender. Remove pork pieces and
transfer to a plate. Bring the remaining mixture to a boil and
again and cook until thickened. Spoon the sauce with pineapple
chunks on top of the pork and garnish with julienned scallions.

Add black pepper to taste, and serve immediately.
