SERVINGS  SCALING
Original recipe yield: 8 servings


INGREDIENTS
8 chicken legs 
5 large white potatoes 
1 (8 ounce) package baby carrots 
5 cloves garlic 
2 yellow squash, quartered lengthwise and cut crosswise into 1/2-inch slices 
1 large onion, peeled and sliced

Place the chicken legs in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Arrange potatoes, carrots,

Queens Royal Rub recipe

1/4 cup mixed peppercorns, black, white, pink
1/4 cup mustard seed
1/4 cup sesame seeds, lightly toasted
1/4 cup ground New Mexican chiles
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup kosher salt
1/4 cup hot Hungarian paprika
1 dried ancho chile
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon cumin
1 tablespoon rubbed sage
1 tablespoon cayenne
1 tablespoon allspice
1 tablespoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon dried tarragon

Combine peppercorns, mustard seeds, sesame seeds, salt and the ancho chile in a 
food processor and pulverize. Mix this combination with the other ingredients 
carefully. Don't breathe it - that will cause sneezing. LOL Spread on baking 
sheets and toast lightly in the oven at 325 degrees F for about 10 minutes. 
This brings out the oils and develops the flavor more fully.
Keep in the freezer in an airtight container.

Free Recipes Wonton Soup

2008-03-30 Thread luvmygroops

Wonton Soup 
Recipe courtesy Emeril Lagasse, 2004 
Show: Emeril Live
Episode: Dueling Comfort Foods


Difficulty: Intermediate 
Prep Time: 45 minutes 
Cook Time: 45 minutes 
Yield: about 2 quarts, 6 to 8 servings 

Note: If you plan on saving any of this soup for leftovers, you might consider 
cooking the wontons in a separate pot of boiling water before adding them to 
the broth for serving. Because the wontons themselves are coated with 
cornstarch, they will make the soup cloudy, thick, and starchy, if allowed to 
sit in the soup for any length of time. You won't have this problem, however, 
if you choose to serve the soup immediately. 

1 tablespoon vegetable oil 
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon minced garlic 
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh ginger 
1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions, plus 3 tablespoons finely chopped 
10 cups canned low sodium chicken broth 
1/2 pound ground pork 
1 egg yolk 
2 teaspoons soy sauce 
1 1/2 teaspoons rice wine vinegar 
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil 
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper 
About 30 wonton wrappers, thawed if frozen 
1 1/2 cups thinly sliced bok choy 
1/2 cup sliced shiitake mushroom caps 
1/4 cup sliced bamboo shoots 

In a large saucepan or soup pot heat the oil over medium high heat until hot. 
Add 1 tablespoon of the garlic and 1 tablespoon of the ginger and cook, 
stirring, until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the 1/4 cup of sliced scallions 
and the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low so that 
the broth just simmers. Allow broth to simmer for at least 20 to 30 minutes 
while the wontons are being assembled. In a small mixing bowl combine the 
remaining teaspoon of minced garlic, remaining tablespoon of chopped ginger, 3 
tablespoons of finely chopped scallions, the pork, egg yolk, soy sauce, rice 
wine vinegar, sesame oil and crushed red pepper. Mix until thoroughly combined. 
Working on a flat work surface, lay out a few of the wontons. (Keep remaining 
wonton wrappers covered with plastic wrap.) Fill a small bowl partially with 
cool water and set aside. Using a teaspoon measure, place a heaping teaspoonful 
of the meat filling in the center of each
 wonton. Using your fingers, lightly wet the edges of the wonton. Bring 2 
opposite corners of the wonton together to form a triangle and enclose the 
filling, pressing edges firmly around the mound of filling to eliminate any air 
pockets and seal. Moisten opposite corners of the long side. Curl moistened 
corners toward each other, overlapping one on top of the other, and press the 
edges together to seal. You should now have a rounded stuffed wonton with a 
triangle poking up at the top. Assemble the remaining wontons in the same 
manner. When the wontons are all assembled, set aside. Add the sliced bok choy, 
mushrooms, and bamboo shoots to the broth and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Using 
your hands or a slotted spoon, gently add the prepared wontons to the simmering 
broth. Increase the heat slightly so that the broth returns to a gentle simmer. 
Cook, stirring occasionally (very gently), until the wontons float and the pork 
filling is cooked through, about 5
 minutes. Serve immediately.
