Goat Cheese With Red Wine Butter Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat; add onion and season with a pinch of salt. Cook and stir onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir flour with the onion; cook, stirring continually, for 1 minute.
• Pour 1 cup milk into the saucepan while stirring; add goat cheese and stir to melt. Stir remaining milk into the mixture, 1/2 cup at a time, and cook until you reach your desired texture, 5 to 10 minutes more; season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and black pepper.

Steps:

• Measure the broth and wine in a measuring cup. Put the mushrooms in an empty skillet; sauté until wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir parsley and then goat cheese into the reduced liquid.

Steps:

• On a plate combine the bread crumbs and peppercorns.
• Ross the goat cheese rounds in this mixture, coating them well and shaking off the excess.
• Arrange on a well greased baking sheet.
• Brush rounds carefully with the melted butter.
• Bake at 400 degrees for 3 - 4 minutes.
• Should be slightly softened.
• In a small saucepan combine the shallot, wine and vinegar and cook over moderate heat until it is reduced to about 3 tablespoons.
• Reduce heat to low and whisk in the remaining 3 tbsp of butter, 1 piece at a time, whisking until the sauce is thickened slightly.
• Divide the sauce among 4 heated plates and transfer the cheese rounds carefully with a spatula to the plates.
• Garnish and serve with the crackers.

Steps:

• Combine the goat cheese, ricotta and eggs in a large bowl and mix until smooth and homogenous. Add 1/2 cup of flour and stir until combined. Being careful not to overwork the dough, add more flour, 2 tablespoons at a time, until the dough is smooth and supple (not sticky). If you add too much flour or stir too much you will have very dense little gnocchi and this is not what you want. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile put on a large pot of water to boil.
• On a lightly dusted surface, press and shape the dough into an 8-by-14-by-1/2-inch rectangle. With a floured sharp knife, cut the rectangle into 1-by-1/2-inch pieces. Using a fork on a dusted surface, shape the gnocchi by pressing a piece of the dough into the back of the fork slightly to create ridges, then roll it down the fork toward the work surface to form it into a dumpling. If the dough begins to stick, flour the fork and your fingers. Place the finished gnocchi on a floured cookie sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough.
• When the water comes to a boil, prepare an ice bath. Season the boiling water with salt. Cooking in batches, place the gnocchi in the water with a slotted spoon and give them a quick stir to prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the pot. Cook until all the gnocchi rise to the surface, then cook an additional 1 to 2 minutes to cook through--the timing will depend on how long they take to rise, about 4 minutes total. Immediately remove the gnocchi with the slotted spoon and put in the ice bath to stop the cooking. When they are cool, drain. They are now ready to be sauteed. Repeat with the remaining gnocchi.
• Heat a nonstick saute pan over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until crisp (the fat will start to foam when this happens). Remove the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate with a slotted spoon. Add the gnocchi to the pan and sear in the warm bacon fat, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the gnocchi to a plate. Add the dates to the pan. Whisk in the wine and vegetable stock and simmer until reduced by half, 2 to 3 minutes. Whisk in the butter. Add the gnocchi, bacon and salt and pepper to taste. Stir in 3 tablespoons of the parsley and toss to combine. Serve on a platter and sprinkle with the remaining parsley.

Steps:

• Bring milk to simmer in small saucepan. Transfer to processor. Add bread and process until blended. Add egg, goat cheese, garlic and mustard. Process just until blended. With processor running, gradually add oil and lemon juice; process until smooth. Transfer sauce to medium saucepan. Season to taste with sugar, white pepper and salt. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; refrigerate.)
• Cut each steak in half horizontally. Using meat mallet, pound each piece on work surface to 1/3-inch thickness. Season with salt and pepper. Coat with flour, shaking off excess. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in large skillet over high heat. Sauté beef in batches until brown, adding more butter as necessary, about 1 minute per side. Transfer beef to platter. Add wine to skillet; bring to boil. Add beef; turn to coat. Remove from heat.
• Bring goat cheese sauce to simmer. Stir in chives. Spoon some of sauce onto each of 6 plates. Place 2 beef scallops atop sauce on each plate. Divide shallots and any glaze among plates. Spoon spaetzle alongside and serve, passing remaining sauce separately.
