herbs (i.e., parsley, dill, tarragon, basil, etc.), stems removed,

*Raw egg warning:  
Caution is suggested in consuming raw and lightly cooked  
eggs due to the slight risk of salmonella or other food-borne  
illness. To reduce this risk, we recommend you use only fresh,  
properly refrigerated, clean, grade A or AA eggs with intact  
shells, and avoid contact between the yolks or whites and  
the shell.  
For lower-cholesterol mayonnaise, and to avoid using raw  
eggs, Egg Beaters® may be substituted for the egg yolks.

ROASTED RED PEPPER SAUCE  
This sauce combines the sweet taste of the red pepper with its  
roasted counterpart to create a flavor-packed yet healthy sauce,  
perfect for chicken and fish.

Roast in oven for 20 minutes. Remove the garlic cloves and  
place in a small heatproof bowl. Return tray to oven and  
continue roasting peppers for an additional 30 minutes,  
flipping the peppers a few times so that they are evenly  
blackened. Once the peppers are charred all over, place them  
in the bowl with the garlic and cover tightly with plastic wrap.  
Allow the peppers to cool and steam so that their skins  
become loose, at least 30 minutes. Once cool, peel the skins  
off the garlic and each pepper and remove seeds. Reserve  
cleaned peppers with peeled garlic cloves. (It is possible to  
store the peppers and garlic together in a plastic food storage  
bag overnight.)

While the peppers are roasting, cut the remaining peppers

Insert the large metal chopping blade into the large work bowl  
of the Cuisinart® Food Processor, add the shallots and pulse to  
chop, remove and reserve. Add the raw pepper pieces and  
pulse to roughly chop.  
Put the butter and olive oil together into a large sauté pan  
over medium heat. Once the butter melts, add the chopped  
shallots; stir and sauté for about 2 minutes to soften, not  
picking up any color. Stir in the chopped raw peppers.  
Reduce heat to low and cover with lid. Allow peppers to sweat  
for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Peppers are done  
when they are soft. Remove lid from pan and increase heat  
slightly. Add the white wine and stir until liquid is mostly  
evaporated, about 2 minutes. Add the chicken stock, bring to  
a steady simmer, and allow to reduce by half, about 5 minutes.  
Put the cooked peppers and the reserved roasted peppers  
and garlic into the work bowl. Add the lemon juice, salt and a  
pinch of pepper; pulse 2 to 3 times and then process for  
about 40 seconds, until ingredients are well blended. Taste  
and adjust seasonings accordingly.

BASIC FLAKy PASTRy DOUGH  
This recipe makes ample crust for a  
9- to 11-inch regular or deep-dish pie or tart.  
Approximate preparation time: 10 minutes, plus 30 minutes  
resting time  
Insert the large metal chopping blade into the large work bowl  
of the Cuisinart® Food Processor. Add the flour, salt and baking  
powder and process for 10 seconds to sift. Add the well-chilled  
butter and shortening. Use short quick pulses until the mixture  
resembles coarse corn meal and no pieces of butter larger than  
a pea remain visible, 15 to 20 pulses. Sprinkle half the  
maximum ice water on the flour and butter mixture, then pulse  
5 or 6 times. The dough will be crumbly, but should begin to  
hold together when a small amount is picked up and pressed  
together. Add more water, a teaspoon (two for the two-crust  
recipe) at a time, with 2 to 3 quick pulses after each addition,  
adding just enough water for the dough to hold together easily  
when pressed into a ball. Do not allow the dough to form a ball  
in the processor! Add the liquid sparingly so that the dough is  
not sticky. Do not overprocess or the pastry will be tough, not  
tender and flaky.

Place a 12-inch nonstick skillet* over medium heat.  
Add the olive oil and swirl the pan to coat the pan  
surface evenly with the oil. Add the garlic to the skillet  
and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes, until fragrant. Add the  
mushrooms, red peppers, thyme, and a pinch each of  
the salt and pepper. Sauté for about 8 to 10 minutes,  
until the vegetables have softened.  
While vegetables are cooking, beat the eggs together  
well and stir in the remaining salt and pepper and  
reserved Parmesan. Once vegetables are soft, reduce  
heat to medium low and pour the eggs into the skillet;  
lightly stir to evenly distribute the vegetables. Leave  
skillet on the heat so that the bottom of the frittata  
begins to set, about 5 minutes. Place skillet into oven  
and bake until the top of the frittata is golden and  
puffed, about 15 to 20 minutes.  
Carefully remove skillet from oven and invert onto a  
cutting board to cut the frittata to serve immediately.  
*If not using a nonstick pan, coat the pan with a nonstick  
cooking spray before adding the eggs. To do so, once the  
vegetables are sautéed, stir them into beaten eggs; spray  
the pan before adding the egg and vegetable mixture.

While onions are caramelizing, replace the slicing disc  
with the reversible shredding disc on the medium  
shredding side and process the Gruyère.  
Grill or pan-roast the steaks until rare to medium-rare  
(steaks will continue to cook in the quesadillas). Allow  
steaks to cool and then thinly slice.  
To assemble: evenly place ¼ cup of onions on a tortilla  
and top with 4 to 5 slices of steak, ¹⁄ cup of shredded  
³
cheese and then top with another tortilla. Repeat with  
remaining ingredients.  
Preheat the Cuisinart® Griddler®, fitted with the griddle  
plates in the closed position, to 375°F. Brush the top  
and bottom tortillas lightly with oil and grill until the  
cheese is melted and the tortillas are golden and crisp,  
about 3 minutes.  
Quesadillas can also be prepared in a 375°F oven,  
baked on parchment lined baking trays.  
To serve: Cut quesadillas into quarters and serve with  
salsa, guacamole and sour cream.  
Note: The flavor of the caramelized onions is well worth  
the time it takes to prepare them.

golden brown. Transfer to a rack to cool for 10 minutes before serving.  
Calzones may be served hot or at room temperature. Leftover calzones  
should be wrapped in foil or plastic wrap and refrigerated. Re-warm in a  
375ºF oven before serving; microwaving is not recommended.  
*The pizza dough recipe may yield more than necessary for these  
calzones; should you have leftover dough, it does freeze well. To freeze,  
wrap airtight in double thickness of plastic wrap.

Roll the pasta dough out thin, either with a pasta roller or  
by hand. After the dough is rolled into sheets, cut each  
sheet into an even amount of squares. Using a teaspoon,  
fill the centers of half the cut pasta squares with filling.  
Brush around the filling with the egg wash and top with  
the remaining squares. Press down around the filling to  
seal and push out any air bubbles.  
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the  
ravioli in batches. Remove with a strainer.  
Serve ravioli with the Simple Tomato Sauce (page 10) and  
freshly grated Parmesan.  
*Freeze any leftover pasta dough to use at another

Place the dough in a lightly floured plastic food storage  
bag and seal. Allow to rest in a warm place until  
doubled in size, about 1 to 1½ hours.  
Punch dough down and let rise again until doubled in  
size. (This rise can be omitted if pressed for time, but  
makes for a more flavorful loaf, with a more “artisanal”  
bread texture and crust.) Punch dough down and divide  
into two pieces. Shape each into a long narrow loaf,  
about 16 to 18 inches in length, and place on a baking  
sheet lined with parchment. Cover loosely with plastic  
wrap and let rise until doubled, about 45 to 60 minutes.  
Preheat oven to 425°F.  
Dust loaves with flour. Using a serrated knife, make 4 or  
5 diagonal slashes in each loaf about ¼ inch deep. Bake  
for 25 to 30 minutes until browned and hollow sounding  
when tapped. Cool on a wire rack. Bread slices best  
when allowed to cool completely before slicing.

butter. Once melted, wipe the butter around the pan with a  
paper towel. Add a scant 3 tablespoons of batter to the  
preheated pan. Working very quickly, move the batter around  
so it just coats the bottom. you want the pan to be coated thinly  
and evenly. After about 1 minute, when the crêpe is set and  
lightly browned, flip the crêpe with a heatproof spatula and  
cook for an additional minute on the second side. Reserve on a  
plate. Continue with the remaining batter, stacking the crêpes  
as you go. When all of the crêpes are prepared, cover plate with  
foil – to keep crepes warm, place plate over a skillet containing  
some water over medium-low heat.
