Categories     dessert

Time 2h30m

Yield about 24 bars

Number Of Ingredients 13

Cooking spray
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup almond flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature
2/3 cup sugar
1 cup cherry jam
3/4 cup dried cherries, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon pure almond extract
1 1/2 ounces white chocolate, chopped

Steps:

  • Line a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang on 2 sides; coat with cooking spray. Whisk the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, almond flour and salt in a medium bowl. Beat the butter and sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium speed until creamy, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce the mixer speed to medium low; beat in the flour mixture until combined.
  • Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking dish in a thin layer with damp hands. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Bake until the chocolate layer is set, 25 to 30 minutes; let cool completely in the pan.
  • Meanwhile, combine the jam, dried cherries, lemon juice, cornstarch, almond extract and 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the dried cherries soften and the mixture thickens, about 10 minutes. Spread over the chocolate layer and let cool completely.
  • Lift the bars out of the pan using the foil. Put the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring, until smooth; drizzle on the bars. Let stand until the chocolate sets, then cut into squares.

BLACK FOREST REUBENS

Categories     Bread     Side     Ham

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 slices pumpernickel bread
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, softened
3 rounded tablespoonfuls dill pickle relish
1 shallot, finely chopped
1 rounded tablespoon capers, chopped
4 rounded tablespoonfuls spicy brown mustard
16 deli slices Swiss cheese, such as Emmentaler
3/4 pound deli-sliced corned beef
3/4 pound deli-sliced Black Forest ham
1 jar cooked red cabbage or 1 pouch sauerkraut
4 large half-sour pickles or garlic pickles
Gourmet potato chips

Steps:

  • Spread one side of each bread slice with softened butter. In a small bowl, mix together the relish, shallots, capers, and mustard. Build the sandwiches with buttered sides of the bread facing out: slather a liberal amount of the mustard mixture on 4 slices, then top with a slice of Swiss, one fourth of the corned beef, one fourth of the ham, a small mound of drained red cabbage or sauerkraut, another slice of cheese, and finally another slice of bread.
  • Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Toast the Reubens for 5 to 6 minutes on each side until the cheese melts. Cut the sammies in half and serve with pickles and chips.

LOBSTER REUBENS

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup very thinly shredded Savoy or white cabbage
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1/2 teaspoon sugar
Salt and freshly ground pepper
teaspoon celery seeds
For the sandwiches:
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons ketchup
2 teaspoons sweet pickle relish, well drained
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1 pound cooked lobster meat, coarsely chopped
8 slices rye or marbled rye sandwich bread
8 thick slices Swiss cheese
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature

Steps:

  • Make the slaw: Put the cabbage in a small bowl. Sprinkle the vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper to taste, and the celery seeds over the top and toss well. Let stand, tossing frequently, until the cabbage wilts, about 20 minutes.
  • Make the sandwiches: In a small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, ketchup, relish and paprika. Add half of the dressing to the lobster meat and toss well to combine. Arrange the bread slices on a work surface and spread a little of the remaining dressing on each slice. Put a slice of cheese on each piece of bread; divide the lobster meat among 4 of the slices, then top each with one-quarter of the slaw. Invert the remaining cheese-covered bread slices onto each sandwich. Spread 1/2 tablespoon butter on the top of each sandwich.
  • Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and swirl the pan to coat it. Arrange the sandwiches, butter-side up, in the pan and cook until the bottoms are golden, about 5 minutes. Carefully flip the sandwiches and cook until the other sides are golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 5 more minutes. Remove the sandwiches from the pan and let stand 1 minute before slicing on the diagonal and serving warm.
  • To cook your own lobster, boil two 2 1/4-pound lobsters in a large pot of salted water, covered, 5 minutes. Uncover, reduce the heat and simmer 8 more minutes. Drain and let cool; remove the meat.

CAMPFIRE REUBENS



Campfire Reubens image

Started by my mom when I was very young, this sandwich has been a tradition for years on family camping trips. My children and grandchild now insist I make them on all our camping trips. Each person assembles their own sandwich just how they like it, with or without sauerkraut, extra cheese, or any way in-between. Use a permanent marker to label the packets. You'll never want another Reuben that isn't made over a campfire!

THE BLACK FOREST RECIPE BY TASTY



The Black Forest Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: water, granulated sugar, grenadine, blue curaçao, rich simple syrup, gin, fresh lemon juice, crushed ice, fresh thyme, pink peppercorn

Provided by Chris Rosa

Categories     Drinks

Time 5m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup water
2 cups granulated sugar
¾ oz grenadine
1 oz blue curaçao
½ oz rich simple syrup
1 ½ oz gin
¾ oz fresh lemon juice
1 cup crushed ice
1 small bunch fresh thyme, plus 2 sprigs, for garnish, divided
¼ teaspoon pink peppercorn, for garnish

Steps:

  • Make the rich simple syrup: Add the water and sugar to a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 2 minutes, until the sugar is fully dissolved. Transfer to a glass jar and let cool. The syrup will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
  • Make the cocktail: Add the grenadine, blue curacao, rich simple syrup, gin, and lemon juice to a cocktail shaker and fill with ½ cup (70 G) ice. Shake vigorously for 30 seconds, until combined.
  • Carefully light the bunch of thyme on fire with a kitchen torch. Blow out the flame and invert a highball glass over the thyme to capture the smoke. Let sit for 30 seconds.
  • Fill the glass with the remaining ½ cup ice, strain the cocktail into the glass, and garnish with the remaining 2 sprigs of thyme and the pink peppercorns.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the sandwich will be. Look for fresh, flavorful bread, thinly sliced corned beef, tangy sauerkraut, and creamy Swiss cheese.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: There are many variations of the Reuben sandwich, so feel free to get creative with your ingredients. You could try using different types of bread, meat, cheese, or sauerkraut. You could also add other toppings, such as bacon, avocado, or mushrooms.
  • Make sure the sandwich is hot and melty: The best Reuben sandwiches are hot and melty, with the cheese gooey and the corned beef tender. To achieve this, cook the sandwich in a panini press or on a griddle until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden brown.

Conclusion:

The Reuben sandwich is a classic for a reason. It's a delicious and hearty sandwich that's perfect for any occasion. Whether you're making it for a party or just for yourself, be sure to follow these tips to make the best Reuben sandwich possible.
