Categories     Very Low Carbs

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups heavy whipping cream
2 cups fresh spinach leaves, firmly packed and stemmed (about 3 1/2 ounces)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground white pepper
4 large eggs
1 tablespoon roasted garlic, finely mashed
extra virgin olive oil (for garnish)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F Butter six 3/4-cup ramekins or custard cups and place in 13x9x2-inch metal baking pan. Fill large bowl with ice and water.
  • Bring cream to simmer in medium saucepan. Remove cream from heat. Add spinach, salt, and white pepper and stir until spinach wilts, about 1 minute. Place saucepan over ice water; stir to cool mixture quickly.
  • Pour cooled spinach mixture into blender; add eggs and roasted garlic. Blend until spinach is pureed and custard is smooth. Divide custard among prepared ramekins. Pour enough hot water into pan to come halfway up sides of ramekins.
  • Bake custards until gently set in center, turning pan after 30 minutes, about 55 minutes total.
  • Do ahead: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cool custards in water. Remove from water, cover, and chill. Rewarm custards 2 at a time, uncovered, about 1 minute in microwave at 50 percent power.
  • Cut around custards to loosen and turn out onto plates. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and serve.

Categories     appetizer

Time 4h

Yield 30 minutes

Number Of Ingredients 29

1 whole head garlic
Olive oil
2 tablespoons roasted garlic
1 jalapeno chile, minced very fine
2 cups cream
4 egg yolks
2 whole eggs
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Vinaigrette, recipe follows
Herbed Hazelnuts, recipe follows
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 cup Salsa Fresca, recipe follows
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup hazelnuts (filberts), toasted
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano, crumbled
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme, crumbled
Pinch cayenne
1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 pounds tomatoes, cored, seeded, and cut into 1/2-inch dice
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1 jalapeno or serrano chile, seeded, deveined, and finely chopped
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 200 degree F.
  • Brush a whole garlic head with olive oil. Wrap it in foil and bake for 2 hours. Let garlic cool enough to handle, then cut off the top of the garlic head and squeeze the soft cloves out onto a cutting board. Using the side of a broad knife, mash the cloves slightly. (This may be done up to a week in advance. Refrigerate roasted garlic.)
  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
  • Butter 8 (4-ounce) ramekins. Blend the custard ingredients together thoroughly. Pour into the ramekins and place them in a baking pan. Place the pan in the oven and carefully add hot water to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven, but you may leave the custards in the water bath to keep warm for up to 20 minutes. You may wish to prepare the Salsa Fresca and the Vinaigrette while the custards bake, and the Herbed Hazelnuts while the custards stay warm after baking.
  • To serve, turn the custards out of their ramekins onto plates. Spoon warm Vinaigrette over each one and sprinkle with warm Herbed Hazelnuts.
  • Whisk the vinaigrette ingredients together in a small saucepan and heat gently. Set aside to keep warm.
  • Melt the butter in a skillet and saute the hazelnuts with their seasonings until the nuts are well coated. Chop coarsely.
  • Mix all the ingredients together. For best results, let salsa stand at least half an hour before serving or incorporating into recipe. Use within 24 hours. (The Vinaigrette calls for 1 cup. Enjoy the remaining 2 cups in Tortilla Soup or just with chips.)

ROASTED GARLIC



Roasted Garlic image

Roasted garlic is great served with bread, crackers or apples. People can peel off a clove of the garlic and literally squeeze the garlic out of it's shell onto their bread or cracker. Delicious!

GARLIC CUSTARD



Garlic Custard image

Entered for safe-keeping. Side for dinner from Julie Knudsen, from a newsgroup listing. This could be interesting as a dip for chicken tenders. (Updated 10/09/13: Based on a review, I recommend letting the garlic cream sauce cool to lukewarm before adding the eggs; the three eggs could also be whisked together and drizzled slowly, a bit at a time. It is highly recommended to maintain whisking of the garlic cream sauce while drizzling the egg, so another set of hands would be helpful.)

Categories     Vegetable

Time 45m

Yield 6 ramekins, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 cups heavy whipping cream
15 garlic cloves, peeled
6 egg yolks
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Butter six 4-ounce ramekins.
  • Combine the cream and garlic in a heavy saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low and cook until the garlic is very soft, about 15 minutes.
  • Strain the liquid through a strainer placed over a bowl. Press the garlic through the strainer and into the cream. Whisk to combine. (Let cool to luke-warm before adding the egg yolks.).
  • Add the egg yolks one at a time, whisking continuously. (The egg yolks can be whisked together, and slowly drizzled into the garlic-cream sauce under constant whisking; this step is much easier with a helper.).
  • Add the cheese, salt and pepper.
  • Pour into the prepared ramekins. Place the ramekins in a baking dish and fill with water half way up the ramekins. Bake until set, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Let cool slightly before unmolding.
  • Serves 6.
