I needed a treat to take to a pot luck lunch. It seems I was lacking one or
more ingredients for anything I wanted to make so I took stock of my pantry
and created this recipe from what would work well together. Several people
asked for the recipe so I thought I would share it with you.

Yukon Potato Stack with Gruyére and Parmesan Cheeses
Steakhouse 55, Disneyland Hotel, (Chef Jason Martin)
5 lb. Yukon gold potatoes
8 oz. Parmesan cheese, shredded
8 oz. Gruyere cheese, shredded
1 tsp. olive oil
4 tbs. shallots (approximately 4), minced
2 tbs. fresh garlic (approximately 4-5 large cloves), minced
3 cups heavy cream
1 tbs. kosher salt
To taste: freshly ground black pepper
Preheat oven to 300˚F.
Peel and slice potatoes to about 1/16 inch thick. (Use a mandoline or food slicer to slice potatoes uniformly. Do not rinse or hold potatoes in water because the starch will be washed away). Set aside.
Mix shredded cheeses together and reserve 1/3 cup to top the potato stack. Set aside. Heat a heavy-bottomed stock pot over medium heat. Add olive oil to pan and coat the bottom. Add chopped shallots and cook for 5 minutes, stirring continuously. Add garlic and continue to sauté until garlic starts to brown. Add the cream and potatoes to the pot. Add the salt & pepper.
Stir to coat the potatoes and reduce the cream until it starts to thicken, about 10-15 minutes. Add cheese to the pot and continue cooking over medium heat until cheese melts. Adjust the salt and pepper to taste.
Place a piece of parchment paper on the bottom of a 13-inch by9-inch pan. Spray with nonstick pan spray. Add potato mix to the pan, making sure that the potatoes lay flat and that there are no gaps. Spread the reserved cheese over the top in an even layer. Cover the baking pan with plastic wrap first and then foil. Bake in preheated oven for two hours. Check the potatoes by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it goes in without any give, it is done. If there is still give, cover and return to the oven, checking every 10-15 minutes.

SPINACH TOSTADAS WITH SHRIMP AND POTATOES
Disney’s California Food & Wine Festival 2009, Culinary demonstration by Guy Fieri (winner of season 2 of The Next Food Network Star)
Yield: 12 tostadas
For the Tostadas
2 - 10 ounce package frozen spinach, thawed
1 Tablespoon roasted red bell pepper, fine dice (optional -can use fresh)
1 teaspoon Jalapeno OR Serrano pepper, fine dice
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 large eggs
1/3 Cup Panko bread crumbs, unseasoned
1/3 Cup parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon black pepper
1⁄2 teaspoon salt
1⁄4 teaspoon cayenne
3 Tablespoons EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil)
Preheat oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit. Press all of the liquid out of the spinach. Start with pressing in a colander, then roll in double layer paper towels, press and squeeze all of the liquid out. Once that is done, chop the spinach and place in a medium bowl with the rest of the ingredients, except the EVOO. The mixture should be very well combined and will be moist, but not wet.
Dividing the mixture into 6 equal portions, form the spinach mixture into flat patties, about 3” in diameter and 1⁄4” thick. Can flatten using saran wrap.
In a large non stick sauté pan over medium high heat, heat the oil. When hot, add the spinach tostadas into the pan, cook about 2 minutes, turn and cook the other side. They will be slightly browned. Put them on a paper towel lined baking sheet, sprinkle with a pinch of salt and hold in warm oven.
For the topping
1⁄2 pound shrimp, cleaned, cut into 1⁄2” pieces
1 Tablespoon shallot, fine dice
1 tsp. chopped garlic
3 Roma tomatoes, diced
2 potatoes, cooked in boiling water until just fork tender, then cut in 1⁄2” dice
2 Tablespoon capers
1⁄4 Cup chicken stock
1 Tablespoon Italian parsley
2 Tablespoons Feta cheese, grated with box grater
2 Tablespoons Sour cream
1⁄2 teaspoon lime zest
1 teaspoon Pepper
In a small bowl combine the sour cream and lime zest and set aside, grated the feta and set aside.
In the same pan the spinach tostadas were cooked in, reheat to medium high, using the remainder of the oil left in pan. When oil is hot, add in the shallot and cook until translucent. Add in the tomatoes, garlic, potatoes and capers, stir to combine, add in the shrimp and stock and cook until shrimp are done. Season with the pepper and parsley, remove from heat.
Remove the spinach tostadas from the oven, put on a serving platter, pile some the shrimp mixture on each tostada, sprinkle with feta, then top with a small dollop of the sour cream. Serve immediately.

Sambuca Shrimp
Portobello Italian Pretoria, Downtown Disney
Makes 1 serving
4 ea Shrimp (u-15) peeled, deveined with tail left on
1 Tbsp Sambuca (80 proof or higher)
2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
2 Tbsp thinly sliced garlic
4 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 ea red potatoes
1 lemon wedge
3 slices 1/2-in thick crusty bread
Salt and pepper to taste
Prepare a 6" cast iron skillet
Cut enough 1/8-in. thick slices of red potatoes to cover the bottom of your 6" cast iron skillet. Toss the potato slices with half the olive oil, garlic and parsley. Season to taste. Line the bottom of the skillet with the potatoes, overlapping slightly, bake until the potatoes are half cooked (10 min at 350F).
Prepare the dish:
Toss 4 shrimp with the remainder of the extra virgin olive oil, shaved garlic, chopped parsley. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Increase the temp of your oven to 475. Add shrimp to pre-cooked skillet and potatoes and place in oven for about 5 min. or until shrimp are cooked.
Place skillet on large oval plate along with 3 crostini's (crusty bread), and a ramekin of 1/2-oz of Sambuca along with a lemon wedge.
Take the oval platter right to the table. At the table, pour the Sambuca over the shrimp and, using a lighter, flame the shrimp (do not use more than 1 Tbsp. of Sambuca).
When the flame goes out, squeeze the lemon wedge over the shrimp and serve.
Tips: u-15 shrimp denotes the size (15 shrimp per pound).
Preheating the oven and skillet will prevent sticking.
Always serve with crusty bread to absorb the juices on the plate.
The skillet must be hot for the shrimp to flame so take you platter right from the oven to the table.
Always season as you go.
When flaming the shrimp use a long kitchen match or a long reach butane lighter. Use extreme caution when flaming the shrimp.
The potatoes may be cooked in the skillet ahead of time and stored under refrigeration until needed, up to one day prior to serving.

1 pint Yellow Pear Tomatoes (cut in half)
2 cups Roasted Roma Tomatoes (roughly chopped)
4 Tbsp Shaved garlic
2 tsp Red Chili Flakes

6 egg yolks
3 Tbsp Sugar
1 pound Mascarpone cheese
1-1/2 cups strong espresso, cooled
2 tsp Dark rum
24 Ladyfingers, packaged

Green Peppercorn Steak Au Poivre
Chef Robert Irvine, Epcot Food and Wine Festival Culinary Demo
3 tbsp. butter
1 tbsp. neutral oil, such as canola or grapeseed
Salt and coarsely ground black pepper
4 tenderloin steaks, each about 6 – 8 ounces
2 shallots, chopped
2 tbsp. canned green peppercorns
1 tbsp. Dijon mustard
2 tbsp. cream
1 cup demi-glace (brown sauce)
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (so you can keep the steaks warm).
Put 2 tablespoons of the butter and oil in a large skillet and turn the heat to medium-high. Season the steaks with salt and pepper. When the butter melts, add the steaks and turn the heat to high. Sear on the first side for about 3 minutes, then turn and sear on the second side for 2 – 3 minutes. Lower the heat and cook until just short of your chosen level of doneness, about 7 minutes total for medium-rare. Remove to a utility platter and keep warm in the oven whilst you make the sauce.
Pour out any fat from the skillet leaving the brown bits in there. Add the remaining butter and shallots and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the shallots are soft, about 3 minutes. Add the green peppercorns and cook for 30 seconds. Add the mustard, cream and demi-glace and cook, stirring for 30 seconds.
Pour the sauce over the steaks and serve. Was served with mashed potatoes, grilled onions and asparagus.
