Beef And Cheese Volcano Recipes

CHEESE VOLCANO

Steps:

• For the volcano: Use a round plastic crudite platter for the base of your volcano and cut a small hole in it large enough for the hose of a fluid transfer pump to go through. Snake the depositing end of the pump hose through the hole in the platter. Invert a bundt pan over the platter, snaking the hose up through the hole in the bundt. Cut a hole in the center of the tomato half, then insert the tomato cut-side up in the top of the hole in the bundt pan, pulling the hose up through the hole in the tomato and pushing down a bit on the tomato to snugly plug up the hole in the bundt pan with the tube inside.
• "Paint" or "spackle" the sides of the bundt pan with the cheese, using an offset spatula or rubber gloves. Then layer the chips on top of each other around the bundt, starting flat but angling as you go up, sticking them to the cheese. This creates a volcano look.
• For the decorations: Arrange your accoutrements however you like. I put a lot of diced tomatoes and beans around the top to make it look like a caldera. I also liked incorporating cilantro stems and broccoli florets at the base of the volcano, as they look like trees.
• For the cheese sauce: Turn a large slow cooker to low while you prepare the sauce on the stove.
• In a pot, combine the sodium citrate and 3 1/2 cups water over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Once simmering, add the cheese in handfuls, whisking until incorporated before adding the next handful. Once all the cheese is incorporated and melty, add the sriracha and use an immersion blender to blend to a uniform consistency.
• Transfer the mixture to the preheated slow cooker. Place the receiving tube of the pump into the cheese sauce and slowly and carefully pump to create "lava." Note: The cheese sauce might splash, so use with caution and put in a safe location.

VOLCANO

Steps:

• For the tuna: Mix the paprika, granulated garlic, Italian seasoning, granulated onion, parsley flakes, black pepper and salt in a bowl. Sprinkle and cover both sides of the tuna steaks with the blackened spice mix. (You will have leftover spice mix that you can store for future use. The blackened spice is great on any meat.)
• Coat a large skillet with olive oil and put over high heat. Sear the tuna on both sides, about 15 seconds. Remove, slice and set aside.
• For the Cajun shrimp: Fill a saucepan over half full with water and put over high heat. Add the Cajun seasoning and shrimp to the water. Once you start seeing the water come to a boil, the shrimp are done. They only need a few minutes. Drain the shrimp in a strainer and put to the side.
• For the crab salad: Add the crab, mayo and sriracha to a bowl and mix. Set aside.
• For the spicy mayo: Add the mayo and sriracha to a bowl and mix. Set aside.
• For the taco salad bowl: Fill a deep pot with 5 to 6 inches of oil and heat to 350 degrees F. Place a tortilla in the middle of the pot and push down with a ladle to create a bowl shape. Keep the tortilla emerged in the oil until the tortilla turns a golden brown color, 1 to 2 minutes. Once done, flip the tortilla over and fry the other side for an additional 1 to 2 minutes. Remove and set aside. (Alternatively, premade taco bowls can be purchased in any Latin markets.)
• Arrange the shredded lettuce in the center of a plate. Alternate the avocado and tuna slices around the rim of the plate. Put the shrimp in the center of the bed of lettuce. Drizzle with some of the spicy mayo, eel sauce and sriracha around the rim of plate over the avocado and tuna slices. Place the taco salad shell upside down on top of the lettuce and shrimp. Top the taco salad bowl with a large round scoop of the crab salad and drizzle the remaining spicy mayo, eel sauce, and sriracha over the top of the crab salad and on the sides of the taco salad shell, giving the appearance of an erupted volcano.

BEEF AND CHEESE VOLCANO

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 400°. In a heavy skillet, heat oil to a depth of about 1/2 inch until the oil shimmers. Fry the tortillas, 1 at a time, until crisp and light brown on both sides. Drain on paper towels. (The tostadas can be fried up to 2 days ahead. Cool, then store in a cupboard in a sealed plastic bag.) 2. Prepare the salsa and guacamole, if using homemade. Then, pour off all but about 1 tablespoon of the tortilla-frying oil in the skillet, and heat until hot. Fry the steaks about 4 minutes per side or until browned on the outside and still pink and juicy inside, for medium-rare, or adjust time for desired doneness. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and a bit of pepper. Remove to a cutting board and let stand 5 minutes. 3. In the same skillet, cook the onion, stirring, until limp but not soft, 4 to 5 minutes. Season with the remaining salt. Reserve in the pan. Cut the steaks into bite size pieces. Toss with the onion. 4. Place the crisp tortillas on a large baking sheet. Mound the steak and onion equally in the center of each tortilla, and put 1/4 of the cheese on top of each mound. Put in preheated oven until the cheese is melted, 3 to 5 minutes. Using a large wide spatula, transfer each tostada to the center of each of 4 large serving plates. Surround the tostadas with a few snipped sprigs of cilantro or parsley. Put a tiny bit of red salsa on the top of each tostada. Serve at once, accompanied by condiment bowls of salsa and guacamole to be added at the table.From "1,000 Mexican Recipes."

GRILLED VOLCANO PORK

Steps:

• Slice the pork loin across into 1/2-inch thick pieces. Place into a large plastic zip-top bag.
• Add lemongrass, ginger, Fresno chiles, serrano chile, shallot, garlic, turmeric, pepper, cumin, cayenne, brown sugar, lime juice, soy sauce, fish sauce, and oil to a blender or food processor, and blend on high until smooth.
• Pour marinade into the bag of pork and massage thoroughly and toss until it's evenly coated. Seal the bag, squeezing out excess air as you do.
• Transfer to the refrigerate and marinate overnight, or up to 24 hours.
• Preheat an outdoor grill to high heat. Remove pork from bag, wiping off most of the excess marinade.
• Cook on the preheated grill until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), 3 to 4 minutes per side.

CHEESY VOLCANO FRIED RICE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until halfway done, 3-5 minutes.
• Add the garlic and green onions to the center and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.
• Make some space in the middle of the pan, add the kimchi, and cook until the juices reduce and kimchi starts to turn reddish brown, about 3 minutes.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the gochujang, mirin, soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon sesame oil. Add to the skillet and cook until well incorporated, about 1 minute.
• Add the rice and cook, stirring occasionally, until rice is warmed through and crispy on the bottom, 3-4 minutes.
• Transfer the rice mixture to a deep bowl and press down with spatula to compact.
• Place a medium skillet over the bowl, then flip to invert the rice volcano. Lift the bowl. Use the back of a spoon to carefully press an indentation into the top of the volcano, then make a crevasse in the side to allow the cheese to flow out.
• In a large liquid measuring cup, whisk together the eggs.
• Turn the heat to medium, then pour the egg mixture over the rice volcano and top with the mozzarella cheese. Cover the pan and cook until the cheese is melted and the egg is cooked through, about 5 minutes.
• Garnish with more scallions if desired.
