GERMAN MEATBALLS WITH GINGERSNAP GRAVY



German Meatballs with Gingersnap Gravy image

This recipe was one of my mother's favorites, and now my family enjoys it as well. The beauty of this recipe is that the meatballs need not be browned. The gingersnaps are what gives the gravy its rich taste. I have, at times, substituted fresh ground turkey for the beef, and it works just as well.

1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
20 gingersnap cookies, coarsely crumbled (about 1 3/4 cups)
3 to 4 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup whipping cream (optional)

Steps:

  • For stock:
  • Combine broth, carrots, celery, onion, and bay leaves in large saucepan. Add reserved neck, heart, and gizzard. Bring to boil; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until stock is reduced to 3 1/4 cups, about 1 hour. Strain turkey stock into medium bowl. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover stock and refrigerate.)
  • For brine and turkey:
  • Line very large (about 16-quart) bowl with two 30-gallon plastic bags, one inside the other. Rinse turkey inside and out. Place turkey in plastic-lined bowl. Combine 7 quarts water, salt, sugar, molasses, 1 bunch thyme, and 1/2 bunch sage in large bowl or pot. Stir until salt and sugar dissolve. Mix in ice cubes. Pour brine over turkey in plastic bags. Gather tops of bags together, eliminating air space above brine; seal bags. Refrigerate turkey in brine 18 to 20 hours.
  • Set rack at lowest position in oven and preheat to 350°F. Remove turkey from brine. Drain very well; discard brine. Pat turkey dry inside and out. Place turkey on small rack set in large roasting pan. Fill main cavity with remaining 1 bunch thyme and 1/2 bunch sage, onions, and garlic. Stir oil, pepper, chopped thyme, and chopped sage in small bowl to form paste; smear all over outside of turkey. Tuck wing tips under; tie legs together loosely to hold shape.

Roast turkey, basting with 1 cup broth every 30 minutes until thermometer inserted into thickest part of thigh registers 175°F, about 2 hours longer. Transfer turkey to platter. Remove vegetables and herbs from main cavity and discard. Spoon any juices from cavity into roasting pan. Let turkey stand 30 minutes (internal temperature will increase 5 to 10 degrees).
  • For gravy:
  • Strain pan juices into bowl. Spoon off fat, reserving 2 tablespoons. Heat reserved 2 tablespoons turkey fat in heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion and thyme. Sauté until onion browns, about 10 minutes. Add turkey stock, gingersnaps, 3 tablespoons cider vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce. Add 2 cups degreased pan juices and bring to boil, whisking to dissolve gingersnaps. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until gravy thickens, about 4 minutes. Season gravy to taste with salt and pepper, adding remaining tablespoon vinegar and cream, if desired.
  • Serve turkey with gravy.

Discard neck, gizzard, and heart from roasting pan. Strain turkey pan juices into large measuring cup. Spoon fat from top of pan juices; discard fat.

  • Add turkey pan juices, gingersnap cookies, and any accumulated juices from turkey platter to gravy base in saucepan. Boil until gravy is thick enough to coat spoon, whisking to dissolve gingersnaps, about 2 minutes. Mix in remaining 1 tablespoon chopped thyme. Season gravy to taste with salt and pepper. Serve turkey with gravy.

CORNBREAD PUDDLE CAKES W/ SAVORY GINGERSNAP GRAVY



Cornbread Puddle Cakes w/ Savory Gingersnap Gravy image

Gingersnap gravy? Brilliant... and tasty! Fancy enough for a dinner party, delicious enough to sneak in the middle of the night.

Provided by Jackie Mento

Categories     Other Side Dishes

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 24

CORNBREAD PUDDLE CAKE
1 can(s) creamed corn, 14.75 oz
3/4 c heavy cream
1 c evaporated milk
1 c cornmeal (i like yellow because it's pretty)
2 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
4 eggs, separated
2 Tbsp butter, softened to butter the baking dishes
GINGERSNAP GRAVY
MIX THE SEASONING MIX FIRST
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/8 tsp white pepper
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp thyme, dried
1/4 tsp sage, dried
1/8 tsp cumin
NOW MAKE THE GRAVY
3 Tbsp butter, (2 tbl to saute and 1 tbl to finish gravy)
1/2 c red onions, chopped finely
1 tsp garlic, minced
3 c chicken stock, 2 of the 14.5 oz cans
12 gingersnap cookies

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Heat heavy cream, evaporated milk, creamed corn, sugar, cornmeal and salt till thoroughly combined in a medium sized heavy saucepan, stirring frequently, then simmer, stirring constantly, until thickened, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and cool for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, then whisk in egg yolks.
  • 2. Beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Whisk gently into cornmeal mixture.
  • 3. Spread mixture evenly in 6 to 8 generously buttered 7 oz ramekins. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Be careful not to over bake. You want the middle to be very moist, but not runny. NOTE: I needed 8 portions for my dinner party but you can easily fill only 6 of the 7 oz ramekins. The puddle cakes rise some and will deflate a little after baking.
  • 4. While the puddle cakes are baking, combine your spices for the seasoning mix and set aside. Saute the onions and garlic in 2 T of the butter until softened but not browned, then add the seasoning mix and saute to blend.
  • 5. Add 3 cups of chicken stock, boiling to reduce to approximately 2 cups NOTE: Reduce the broth so you will have more of an intensified chicken broth. The time for this will vary - for my range this took about 15 minutes, uncovered. Add the crumbled gingersnaps and heat until softened, then whisk to blend. Whisk in the remaining 1 T of butter. NOTE: When you taste this gravy on its own you are going to think it is really spicy (great on mashed potatoes!) but when you taste it with the delicate flavor of the puddle cakes they complement each other well. Two of my sisters who do not like spicy foods at all even enjoyed them together.
  • 6. Let the puddle cakes cool briefly and then serve either in the baking dish or run a knife around the rim and gently remove. Serve with a generous dollop of gingersnap gravy. Because of the creamy texture of the souffles paired with the gravy this dish goes very well with any simply prepared grilled meat. And if you have any leftover souffles serve with a spicy dish of chili topped with all the fixings! Boo Yah!

For brine and turkey: Line very large (about 16-quart) bowl with two 30-gallon plastic bags, one inside the other. Rinse turkey inside and out. Place turkey in plastic-lined bowl. Combine 7 quarts water, salt, sugar, molasses, 1 bunch thyme, and 1/2 bunch sage in large bowl or pot. Stir until salt and sugar dissolve. Mix in ice cubes. Pour brine over turkey in plastic bags. Gather tops of bags together, eliminating air space above brine; seal bags. Refrigerate turkey in brine 18 to 20 hours. Set rack at lowest position in oven and preheat to 350°F. Remove turkey from brine. Drain very well; discard brine. Pat turkey dry inside and out. Place turkey on small rack set in large roasting pan. Fill main cavity with remaining 1 bunch thyme and 1/2 bunch sage, onions, and garlic. Stir oil, pepper, chopped thyme, and chopped sage in small bowl to form paste; smear all over outside of turkey. Tuck wing tips under; tie legs together loosely to hold shape. Roast turkey 1 hour, tenting loosely with foil if browning quickly. Turn pan around; roast turkey 30 minutes. Pour 1 cup broth over turkey; re-tent loosely with foil. Roast turkey, basting with 1 cup broth every 30 minutes until thermometer inserted into thickest part of thigh registers 175°F, about 2 hours longer. Transfer turkey to platter. Remove vegetables and herbs from main cavity and discard. Spoon any juices from cavity into roasting pan. Let turkey stand 30 minutes (internal temperature will increase 5 to 10 degrees). For gravy: Strain pan juices into bowl. Spoon off fat, reserving 2 tablespoons. Heat reserved 2 tablespoons turkey fat in heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat. A
