100 g Milk Powder
35 g Brute Cocoa Powder
Mexican Chocolate Ganache
1 lb Mexican Chocolate
2 c Heavy Cream
3 oz Chocolate Snow

In small batches, turbo mix until it becomes powder. Add in Milk Powder and Cocoa Powder and turbo mix again. (Note: Cigar Powder can be made in advance and stored in quart containers until ready to use)

Bake in the oven for approximately 3-5 minutes, until cigar powder has melted. While warm, roll carefully into a cigar shape using a small metal tube (approx. 1/2 inch in diameter). Place rolled cigar aside until ready to fill with Mexican Chocolate Ganache.

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 teaspoon olive oil
½ pound lean ground beef
½ cup canned crushed tomatoes, drained
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground cumin
⅛ teaspoon paprika
⅛ teaspoon ground allspice
1 (16 ounce) package phyllo dough
cooking oil spray

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
  • Heat olive oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Cook ground beef until it loses its pink color and begins to brown. Drain fat from skillet. Add tomatoes, cinnamon, cumin, paprika and allspice. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until mixture reduces slightly, about 10 minutes.
  • Remove one phyllo sheet from package and keep the rest covered with a clean cloth until ready to use. On a flat work surface, cut the phyllo sheet into 2 14x9-inch rectangles. Spray the first half-sheet with cooking spray, place the 2nd half on top of it and spray again with oil. Place a generous teaspoon of the meat mixture near the narrow end of the dough. Fold dough over the top of the meat, fold in the sides of the dough, and roll into a narrow tube (cigar) shape. Repeat until all the meat has been rolled up. Arrange cigars on prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in preheated oven until lightly browned, about 25 minutes.

TURKISH CHEESE AND HERB CIGARS



Turkish Cheese and Herb Cigars image

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar...except when it is crisp, golden-brown phyllo wrapped around a mix of cheese and herbs. Then it's perfect party fare. Don't be tempted to overstuff the cigars: the smear of salty filling is just enough to balance the layers of phyllo, and excess filling will leak while baking. Rolling the cigars takes a little time, so try making them ahead and freezing them in an airtight container. Bake them right from the freezer, and eat them piping hot.

Time 55m

Yield 12 cigars

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 ounces farmer's cheese
2 ounces feta, crumbled
1/4 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella
1 large egg
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons finely chopped dill fronds
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
Freshly ground black pepper
Six 16- to 17-by-12-inch sheets phyllo dough, thawed according to package directions (see Cook's Note)
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Mash the farmer's cheese, feta and mozzarella together in a bowl using a fork. Work the egg in with the fork, then stir in the parsley, dill, chives, lemon zest and a large pinch of black pepper.
  • Put a damp, clean towel on your counter. Unfold the phyllo sheets on top and cover with another damp, clean towel.
  • Put 1 sheet of phyllo on a cutting board with the long side closest to you and brush lightly with butter. Top with another sheet of phyllo and brush lightly with butter. Top with a third sheet of phyllo and brush lightly with butter. Cut the phyllo in half crosswise, then cut each half horizontally into thirds. Place the rectangles on a baking sheet and set aside. Repeat with the remaining phyllo.
  • Working with one buttered phyllo stack at a time, spread a heaping tablespoon of cheese along the long edge of each rectangle, leaving a 1/2-inch border at each end. Fold the sides over the filling, then roll up from the bottom edge of the phyllo. Transfer rolled cigars to a baking sheet seam-side down and brush each with a little butter. Repeat with the remaining phyllo, filling and butter.
  • Bake the cigars, rotating the pan halfway through, until crispy and golden-brown, about 25 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and serve.
