Cheryl’s Recipe Corner!

Pan de Muertos (Mexican Bread of the Dead)

Description

With Halloween and Día de los Muertos coming up in the next few days, I decided to share a recipe for Pan de muertos!  It is a bread made for the November 2 celebration known as Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) in Mexico. You can also mold the bread into different shapes like angels and animals.  The Anise seed, while suggested, is optional.  But you definitely need the orange zest!

Ingredients (Bread)

1/4 cup milk

1/4 cup butter or margarine

1/4 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)

3 cups all-purpose flour

1/4 cup white sugar

2 teaspoons anise seed

1-1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 large eggs, beaten

1 tablespoon orange zest

Ingredients (Glaze)

1/4 cup white sugar

1/4 cup orange juice

2 teaspoons orange zest

2 tablespoons white sugar

Directions

To make the bread: Heat milk and butter in a medium saucepan over low heat until butter melts. Remove from heat and add warm water. Mixture should be around 110 degrees F (43 degrees C). Combine 1 cup flour, sugar, anise seed, yeast, and salt in a large bowl. Beat in warm milk mixture, then add eggs and orange zest; beat until well combined. Stir in 1/2 cup flour and continue adding more flour until dough is soft. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic. Place dough into a lightly greased bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, 1 to 2 hours. Punch dough down and shape into a large round loaf with a round knob on top. Place dough onto a baking sheet; loosely cover with plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm place until just about doubled in size, about 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 35 to 45 minutes. Cool slightly before brushing with glaze. To make the glaze: Combine 1/4 cup sugar, orange juice, and orange zest in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat and boil for 2 minutes. Brush glaze over top of warm bread. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons sugar.

Russ’s Drink Corner

Old Elk Blended Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Description

The key to our bourbon is our high malted barley content in our mashbill. By investing in our bourbon and using four times more malted barley than traditional recipes, we’ve created a non-traditional bourbon that generates sweet and light components. Aged for five years, the malted barley combined with the spicy essence of clove from the rye, and the classic rich bourbon character from the corn amounts to a robust and smooth taste profile.

Details

Mashbill: 51% Corn, 34% Malted Barley, 15% Rye

Proof: 88 (44% ABV)

Region: Fort Collins, Colorado

Color: Medium caramel

Nose: Sweet vanilla and caramel, banana, clove spice, hint of maple and almonds

Taste: Maple syrup, almond, bitter orange, raw bran, chocolate, deep wood and coconut, saltgrass

Finish: Salted caramel, light woody notes, malted grain, nuts and honey

Price: $50 (750ml)

Rating: 86

Chicken Enclilada Soup

Description

Happy fall!  I’m a HUGE fan of soup (Russ, not-so-much) and this is one of my favorite soups… so I’m sharing it with you today!

Ingredients

2 teaspoons ground cumin separated

2 teaspoons garlic powder separated

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon paprika

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts

2 tablespoons olive oil

1/2 large white onion diced

1 4oz. can green chilis

1 cup red enchilada sauce

6 cups chicken broth

1/2 cup masa harina + more if you need it*

4 oz. cream cheese softened and cut into cubes

2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Directions

First, add 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon chili powder into a bowl and mix.  Sprinkle the chicken breasts with the spices. Be sure the chicken breasts are fully coated. Heat a large pot or dutch oven over medium/high heat. Add olive oil. When olive oil is fragrant, add the chicken breasts to the pot and brown on both sides for about 1-2 minutes. Remove from the pot. Add onions and ¼ teaspoon of salt to the pot and sauté for 3-4 minutes. Next, toss the green chilis with the onion and add the chicken back into the pot. Pour the chicken broth into the pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Turn heat to low and simmer the chicken for 5-7 minutes or until fully cooked (when the internal temperature is 165ºF). Remove chicken from the pot and shred the chicken with two forks. Set aside. Carefully, remove 2 cups of hot broth from the pot using a measuring cup and add the broth to a bowl. Whisk 1/2 cup of the masa harina into the hot broth. The mixture will thicken very quickly. Add the thickened broth to the pot and whisk into the onion and broth mixture. Add the paprika,1 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon garlic, remaining salt, enchilada sauce and shredded chicken to the pot and mix until combined. Heat the soup over medium heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to make sure that nothing sticks to the bottom of the pot. After 20 minutes, remove the pot from the heat and add the cream cheese cubes to the soup and stir until it is melted and combined. Sprinkle the cheddar cheese into the soup and whisk until the cheddar cheese melts. Serve the soup with tortilla strips and a sprinkle of cheddar cheese.

Tips & Notes

Masa harina is the thickening agent used for this soup, start off with using just 1/2 cup and if you would like a thicker soup add a little more at a time at the end until the soup reaches desired consistency.

1 1/2 ounces bourbon

1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon

5 ounces sparkling hard apple cider

Cinnamon sticks, Rosemary, and apple slices, for serving (if desired)

Russ’s Drink Corner

Ardbeg Uigeadail SMSW

Description

Uigeadail is Gaelic for “a dark, mysterious place.” Named after the distillery’s water source, this whisky is a marriage of sweetness, spice and deep smokiness. The peat-laden waters of Loch Uigeadail provide the smoky tones in this whisky, while maturation in ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks imparts rich, warm flavours – perfect for a dramatic, stormy night. But the true secret behind Ardbeg Uigeadail’s success? A unique vatting method that marries the deep, smoky notes from ex-bourbon American oak with the luscious, raisin-like character of ex-sherry Oloroso casks.

Details

Mashbill: 100% malted barley

Proof: 108.4 (54.2% ABV)

Region: Islay, Scotland

Color: Medium caramel

Nose: Campfire smoke, walnuts, pine needles, lemon zest, chocolate covered raisins, vanilla frosted white cake, toffee, hints of leather

Taste: Vanilla sweetness, baking spices, salty honey-glazed ham, hickory smoke, coffee, aged leather, cigar leaf

Finish: Light smoke, aromatic wood, honey, molasses, hints of roasted coffee beans and raisins

Price: $105 (750ml)

Rating: 96

Ice Cream Bread

Description

Dust off those 1970’s cookbooks, because this quick bread has made a comeback on TikTok!  You can use ANY flavor of ice cream (just make sure it’s not low-fat or sugar free).  Obviously vanilla is just going to a neutral sweeter bread, whereas if you use something like Butter Pecan, Lemon, Cherry, Strawberry, etc you’ll have more zip to it!  Feel free to add some spices (cinnamon, zests, etc) to even further enhance your bread!

Ingredients

2 cups Ice Cream

1 1/2 cups SELF RISING flour

Directions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees (F) (175 C).  Grease and flour (or line with parchment) a loaf pan.  Mix ice cream and flour in bowl just until flour disappears.  Pour mixture into prepared loaf pan and use a rubber spatula to spread out evenly.  Bake for 35-40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Cheryl’s Mixed Drink Corner
