Thanksgiving Day Recipe: Roast Turkey

This is good for 20 servings. You will need the following:

1 whole turkey (15 to 18 pounds)

2 cups of rock salt

1 cup white wine (preferably dry)

2/3 cup melted butter

3 medium sized onions

3 stalks of celery

3-4 carrots (chopped)

some bay leaf

some frresh thyme



What to do:

Remove the giblet and the neck of the turkey. Rub the inside and the outside of the turkey with the rock salt. After rubbing it with salt put the turkey in a big stock pot, add cold water. Put the pot in the fridge, leave it like that for 12 hours, this will allow the salt to seep into the turkey.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F or 175 degrees C. While preheating the oven rinse the turkey with running water, be sure to do it thoroughly. You can now throw away the water in which you have soaked the turkey for 12 hours.

Place the turkey on a shallow roasting pan with the breast side down and brush the melted butter on the turkey. Stuff the turkey with 2 onions, 2 carrots, 1 sprig of thyne, bay leaf and celery. The remaining ingredients should be scattered around the buttom of the roasting pan.

Roast the turkey in the preheated oven without cover for 4 hours or a little less than that if you prefer it to be light but be sure that the internal temperature of the thigh get up to 180 degrees F. Turn the turkey breast side up and brush it with melted butter. Let it stand for about 30 minutes then serve.

Chocolate Souffle

I love chocolates and I love cooking that is why I could not resist collecting chocolate recipes like this one that I found at RealEpicurean. Here it is:

Easy Chocolate Soufflé Recipe - Ingredients

Serves 4

100g good quality dark chocolate (I used Lindt Excellence 50% Cocoa solids)
50g Golden Caster Sugar
4 Egg Whites
2 Egg Yolks
Butter
Single Cream, optional
Easy Chocolate Soufflé Recipe - Method
Pre-heat your oven to 150 degrees c, and rub the inside of 4 ramekins with butter. Set to one side.
Place your chocolate in a heat proof bowl over a pot of heating water. This will allow your chocolate to melt without burning; stir it to help the process along.
Whisk the egg whites in a bowl. If you’re using an electric whisk (as I did) then start off slowly, speeding up once the eggs start to thicken - at this stage you should also start to slowly pour in the sugar while whisking. Stop once the eggs form a glossy, thick mix which forms fairly stiff peaks (they do not wilt when you stop whisking).
By this time your chocolate should be melted; take it off the heat and mix in your egg yolks, then stir in one spoon of your egg white mix.
Take your chocolate mix and add it to your egg whites. Fold until combined but do not stir fast or over-stir - this will beat the air out of the mix.
Spoon into your ramekins and smooth the edges with your thumb (this helps them rise evenly).
Put the ramekins straight onto your shelf for 25 minutes. Don’t open while they’re cooking or they’ll collapse.

Visayan Chicken Curry

My hubby is a Visayan (Cebuano) that is why he chose the cyber name Pastilan to represent him. "Pastilan" is a Cebuano expression that could mean anything from exasperation, to endearment, to empathy. I am not a visayan so I cannot really explain completely the deeper meaning of the term. Anyway, it is not the reason why I have this post. I want ot show you some Visayan recipe. This is the Visayan version of chicken curry. Here's how to do it :
