JACQUI MALOUF GRANDMA GOODWITCH'S GREEN GODDESS

Steps:

• Strain off pineapple juice, reserve juice and place pineapple in a large bowl. Set aside. In a medium bowl add Jell-O powder, 2 cups boiling water and stir until dissolved. Add 1 cup cold water and 1 cup reserved pineapple juice. Add cider vinegar. Let pre-set in the freezer for a few minutes (only until it sticks to the sides). In an electric mixer combine cream cheese and crushed pineapple. Add jello mixture, mix until smooth. In a separate bowl whip cream until it holds soft peaks. Gently fold cream into jello. Transfer to a pretty bowl that is not too deep. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.;

PRIME RIB AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Combine the oil and garlic; rub evenly over roast. Place roast, fat side up, in a small roasting pan. Place a potato on each side of roast. Bake, uncovered, at 325° for 2 to 2-1/2 hours until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 145°; medium, 160°; well done, 170°). Let stand for 10 minutes before carving.

PRIME RIB AND OVEN-ROASTED POTATOES WITH BAY LEAVES AND SAGE

Steps:

• Stir together bay leaves, sage, oil, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and orange zest in a small bowl. Season with pepper. Rub herb mixture all over roast. Refrigerate roast, covered, at least 8 hours and up to 1 day.
• Submerge potatoes in a large pot of water. Bring to a boil; season with salt. Cook 5 minutes. Drain. Score lines lengthwise in potatoes with the tines of a fork.
• Preheat oven to 450°. Transfer roast, fat-side up, to a roasting pan; let come to room temperature, 30 minutes to 1 hour. Roast 15 minutes. Add potatoes; roast 15 minutes more. Reduce temperature to 350° and continue roasting, turning potatoes after 30 minutes, until a thermometer inserted into thickest part of meat (not touching bone) registers 115° for rare, about 1 hour. Let stand 20 minutes (temperature should rise to 125°), then slice. Garnish with bay leaves and sage; serve.
