Categories     main-dish

Time 7h20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/3 cup all-purpose flour
3 pounds skirt steak, each piece cut into thirds
3 to 4 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups low-sodium beef broth
1 cup dry red wine
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 1/3 pounds cipollinis, trimmed, peeled, and left whole*
2 tablespoons green peppercorns; if packed in brine, rinse well
3/4 cup firm spicy green olives, pitted and coarsely chopped
Fusilli tossed with butter and parsley
Steamed broccoli

Steps:

  • Place the flour in a shallow bowl and coat the meat on all sides, knocking off any excess flour. Set aside.
  • Heat 3 tablespoons of the oil in a large saute pan set over high heat. Brown the meat a few pieces at a time. Be careful not to crowd the pan or the meat will steam, not brown. Add more oil to the pan as necessary. Transfer the browned meat to the insert of the slow cooker. Add the broth and red wine to the saute pan and bring to a boil over high heat, using a wooden spoon to scrape any browned bits of meat clinging to the pan. Cook until the liquids have reduced by half. Pour the broth and wine mixture over the meat into the insert, and then add the vinegar, soy sauce, tomato paste, onions, and peppercorns. Cover and cook on low for 7 hours or on high for 3 1/2 hours, until the meat is extremely tender when pierced with a fork. Add the olives, and cook for another 20 minutes. Serve with fusilli tossed with butter and parsley and steamed broccoli.
  • *Cook's Note: To peel small onions easily, plunge them into boiling water for 10 to 15 seconds. Transfer them with a slotted spoon to a bowl of cold water. The skins will slip right off when loosened with a small, sharp knife.

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 pound fregola or orzo pasta, or Israeli couscous
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 cups (about 10 ounces) cipollini onions, peeled and halved, or quartered if large
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound broccoli, cut into small florets
1/3 cup water
1 (15-ounce) can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
2 large lemons, zested and juiced
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons honey
3 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
1 1/4 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper, divided
1 cup (about 1 ounce) chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • For the salad: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and place in a large serving bowl. In a medium saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally until golden and tender, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds until aromatic. Add the broccoli and saute for 1 minute. Add the water and scrape up the brown bits that cling to the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Cover the pan and cook until the broccoli is tender, about 4 minutes. Add the beans and cook for 1 minute until warmed through. Transfer the onion mixture to the serving bowl. Add the Parmesan cheese and toss with the fregola.
  • For the dressing: In a small bowl, combine the lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, honey, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Whisk until smooth. Stir in the chives.
  • Pour the dressing over the fregola and toss well until coated. Season with the remaining 3 teaspoons of salt and 1 teaspoon pepper and serve.

Categories     side-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

15 cipollini onions
Extra-virgin olive oil
About 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
1/3 cup honey
1/2 bunch thyme, leaves removed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Add the onions to a large bowl, cover with hot water and allow to sit for about 5 minutes. This is to help make peeling the onions much easier. Strain onions and peel.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the 1/4 cup oil, vinegar, honey, thyme, salt and pepper until combined. Put the onions in a large bowl, pour the dressing over them and toss well to coat.
  • In a large saute pan over medium-high heat, add about 2 tablespoons olive oil and heat. Once hot, add the onions. Next place the saute pan into the preheated oven and roast for 18 to 20 minutes until the onions are soft and slightly caramelized.

Tips:

  • For the smoothest fondue, use a good quality blue cheese that is well-aged and has a strong flavor. You can also use a blend of blue cheeses to create a more complex flavor profile.
  • If you don't have a fondue pot, you can use a slow cooker or a double boiler to melt the cheese.
  • Be sure to cook the fondue over low heat to prevent it from curdling.
  • If the fondue does start to curdle, you can add a little bit of milk or cream to help smooth it out.
  • Serve the fondue with a variety of dipping options, such as bread, vegetables, and fruit.

Conclusion:

Blue cheese fondue is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's perfect for a party or a special occasion, and it's also a great way to use up leftover cheese. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make blue cheese fondue at home.
