BLUECORN FETTUCCINE WITH CILANTRO CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• To make the fettuccine: mix the all purpose flour (1 cup plus 1 1/2 tablespoons), blue cornmeal, semolina, salt , cumin and cayenne in a large bowl. Make a well in the center of the ingredients and add eggs, and blend together with a fork, until all the flour is incorporated. Knead douh on a lightly floured board until smooth (4-6 minutes), kneading in additional flour if sticky. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and let rest 30 minutes.
• Cut dough into six pieces. Working with one piece at a time (keeping the rest covered), fold piece into thirds. Using a pasta machine at it's widest setting, run dough through several times until dough is smooth and velvety, flolding dough before each run and dusting with flour if sticky. Repeat narrowing rollers after each run until pasta is 1/16th inch thich, dusting with flour if necesary. Hang dough sheet on drying rack or place on kitchen rack to dry. Repeat with remaining pieces of dough until all is completed. Set aside until dough sheets look leathery and edges begin to curl (10-30 minutes). ***Pasta must be cut at this point or it will be too brittle to work with.***.
• Run dough sheets through the fettuccine blades of pasta machine (or cut by hand into 1/4-inch wide strips). Arrange pasta on towel.
• To make sauce: boil cream in a large saucepan until reduced to 1 1/3 cups. Cook chorizo and jalapeno in a large skillet over medium heat until brown, crumbling the chroizo with a fork (10 minutes). Stir in cream, cilantro and cayenne and season with salt.
• In a large pot, add pasta to a large amount of rapidly boiling water, stirring to prevent sticking. Cook until tender (4-5 minutes). Drain. Add pasta to cream sauce and toss to heat through.

BLUE CORN TORTILLAS

Steps:

• You will need a medium-sized bowl, a griddle or heavy skillet at least 8 inches in diameter, and a rolling pin.
• Place corn meal in a bowl and pour boiling water over. Stir to mix well. Let sit for fifteen minutes. Mix in one-half cup of all purpose flour. Turn this mixture out onto a bread board spread with 1/4 cup of flour. Knead for 2 to 3 minutes, incorporating the 1/4 cup of flour into the dough (and if necessary, use a little more). The dough will be soft but not at all strong. Return the dough to the bowl and cover. Let rest for 30 minutes.
• Divide the dough into eight pieces. Between well-floured palms, make flat round patties out of each of the eight and set aside. Heat your griddle over medium high heat, making sure that it is hot before you cook the first tortilla. On a well-floured surface (as the dough is quite sticky), carefully roll out a tortilla until it is approximately 7 to 8 inches in diameter. (We find it easiest to first pat out the dough with our fingers or between our palms, and then to roll out the tortilla at the very last just to make it uniform in thickness). Cook the tortilla as you would a wheat tortilla, approximately one minute on each side. The tortillas will be flecked with brown on both sides. When cooked, remove and wrap in a kitchen towel. Stack one on top of another.

CILANTRO CREAM

Steps:

• In a small mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, cilantro, and lime juice together. Mix thoroughly; season with salt and pepper. Serve with empanadas.

CHICKEN CORDON BLEU WITH DIJON CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Butterfly each chicken breast by cutting it down the center, lengthwise, leaving about 1 inch of connective tissue at the other end. Spread open like a book, and rub each down with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Let rest for 30 minutes to absorb salt.
• Cover each breast with plastic wrap and pound thin with a meat mallet until roughly doubled in surface area. Using a very sharp knife or meat slicer, cut the ham steak into very thin slices.
• Spread 1/4 cup Gruyere over each chicken breast, then divide 1/4 of the ham between them. Repeat, making 2 layers. Fold the chicken over like an omelet, enclosing the cheese and ham. Secure the open edges with 4 to 5 toothpicks.
• Whisk eggs and milk together in a bowl. Combine bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese in a second bowl. Carefully dredge each chicken breast in flour, coat with egg wash, then dredge in the breading. Transfer to a wire rack and move to freezer for 20 minutes to help the breading adhere to the meat.
• Preheat the oven to 385 degrees F (195 degrees C). Place chicken in a baking dish.
• Bake chicken in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, then brush each side down with melted butter and flip. Bake for 25 minutes more.
• Meanwhile, make the sauce. Pour milk into a saucepan set over low heat and simmer until steaming, about 10 minutes.
• Melt butter and stir in flour to create a roux. Let the roux cook to burn off the flour taste, stirring constantly, 4 to 5 minutes. Slowly whisk in hot milk, letting the sauce come together before adding more milk, until everything is well incorporated. The sauce will still be a little thin. Add Parmesan cheese and nutmeg, stirring constantly until cheese in melted evenly into the sauce. Stir in Dijon mustard. Simmer sauce until it is at least thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Season with salt and pepper.
• Remove chicken from oven and transfer to plates. Remove toothpicks. Ladle sauce over chicken and serve immediately.
