CHEZ PANISSE'S BLUEBERRY COBBLER



Chez Panisse's Blueberry Cobbler image

This cobbler, which comes from the kitchens of Chez Panisse, prizes the berries above all, using only 1/3 cup of sugar. The dough rounds for the top are placed so they don't cover all the berries, and the juice from the berries bubbles up around the dough.

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
1/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3/4 cup heavy cream, plus additional for serving, if desired

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 375 degrees. To prepare the berries, place in a bowl and toss with the sugar and flour. Set aside.
  • To make the dough, mix the flour, salt, sugar and baking powder in a bowl. Cut in the butter until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add the cream and mix lightly, just until the dry ingredients are moistened.
  • Put the blueberries in a 1 1/2-quart gratin or baking dish. Make patties out of the dough, 2 to 2 1/2 inches in diameter and 1/2-inch thick. Arrange them over the top of the berries. Bake until the topping is brown and the juices bubble thickly around it, about 35 to 40 minutes.
  • Let cool slightly. Serve warm, with cream to pour on top, if desired.

CHEZ PANISSE SPINACH SOUP



Chez Panisse Spinach Soup image

Adapted from "Chez Panisse Cooking" by Paul Bertolli. "Garnish the soup with garlic butter," Bertolli writes, "or swirls of crème fraîche thinned to the consistency of the soup and chopped nasturtium petals." He also suggests serving it with grated Parmesan, small buttered garlic croutons and extra-virgin olive oil drizzled over the surface. "Puréed spinach will turn a dull army green color within 20 minutes, so this soup should be blended, seasoned and served immediately."

Time 45m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 tablespoons butter
1 large carrot, peeled and diced (4 ounces)
1 stalk celery, diced (2 1/2 ounces)
1 medium yellow onion, diced (6 ounces)
18 ounces spinach, de-stemmed, washed and drained (2 - 3 bunches)
salt, pepper

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a wide stainless-steel pot (at least a 5-quart capacity) over medium-low heat.
  • Add three-fourths cup of water and the carrot, celery and onion. Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to cook at a low simmer, covered, for 20 minutes.
  • Add 4 1/2 cups water and bring to a boil over high heat.
  • Add the spinach and boil for 1 additional minute, stirring until all of the spinach is well-wilted. Do not cover the pot: volatile acids, which are released when the vegetable is heated, will condense on the lid, fall back into the pot and cause discoloration.
  • Purée the entire mixture using an immersion blender, or pour into a blender to purée, and transfer the soup immediately to a hot tureen. Do not strain the soup.
  • Season with 1 1/2 tsps. salt and a pinch of pepper, or to taste, garnish as desired and serve immediately.

CREAM OF SPINACH SOUP



Cream of Spinach Soup image

Serve this creamy spinach soup piping hot, with a fresh buttered baguette. Delicious! You can make a vegetarian version by using vegetable stock in place of the chicken stock. Also, you can add a dash of paprika, cayenne, or red pepper flakes if you like more spice. Note: I used a 32 oz. box of organic chicken stock, and we thought it was fine that way (we like ours with plenty of broth). But the three cups of chicken stock that the recipe calls for should work nicely if you like a thick soup, or are going to blend it. I don't have an immersion blender, but feel free to blend this soup if you prefer a smooth version.
