POMEGRANATE GELEE

When you replace the usual gelatin with agar, like this healthy dessert does, you're getting the health benefits of the seaweed from which the setting agent is derived.

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 cups water
16 ounces pomegranate juice
1 cup fresh orange juice, strained
2 tablespoons agar (seaweed-based gelatin substitute)
1 cup sugar
1 cup seedless green grapes, quartered

Steps:

  • Combine the water, pomegranate juice, orange juice, agar, and sugar in a medium saucepan over high heat, whisking occasionally. Bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and whisk until the sugar and the agar have dissolved completely, about 5 minutes.
  • Transfer mixture to a large bowl or liquid measuring cup (for easy pouring). Divide grapes evenly among 8 parfait glasses and pour 2/3 cup pomegranate mixture into each glass, whisking the liquid before pouring to be sure no agar has settled to the bottom. Refrigerate until set, about 3 hours.

CHICKEN-LIVER PâTé



Chicken-Liver Pâté image

You could serve this chicken pâté as an appetizer at a dinner party, or simply as a light (really!) supper or a sandwich spread. It takes less than a half-hour to prepare, and it will firm up in the refrigerator in a few hours. Simply pack the mixture into a bowl or glass jar, cover and refrigerate.

Time 20m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into cubes
2 medium shallots, peeled and finely chopped
1 pint fresh chicken livers, approximately 1 pound, trimmed
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped
1/3 cup Madeira or port
3 tablespoons heavy cream, plus more as needed
Kosher salt to taste

Steps:

  • Put a large, heavy sauté pan over medium heat, and melt 4 tablespoons of the butter until it begins to foam. Add the shallots, and sauté them until translucent, being careful not to allow them to brown. Add the livers, thyme and Madeira or port, and bring the heat to high. Cook, occasionally stirring the livers around in the pan with a spoon, until the wine has reduced and the livers are lightly browned but still very soft and pink on the inside, approximately 5 minutes.
  • Remove the pan from the stove, and put its contents into a blender or food processor, along with the cream and the remaining butter. Purée until smooth, adding a little more cream if necessary. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding salt if necessary.
  • Pack the pâté into a glass jar or bowl, then smooth the top with a spatula. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, about two hours or up to five days. Serve with bacon-onion jam and copious amounts of toast.
