Oranges In Marsala Recipes

ORANGES IN MARSALA

Steps:

• Squeeze enough juice from 1/2 orange to measure 2 tablespoons. Cut peel, including all white pith, from remaining 4 oranges with a sharp knife and discard, then cut oranges crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
• Cook sugar in a dry small heavy saucepan over moderate heat, undisturbed, until it begins to melt. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally with a fork, until sugar is melted into a deep golden caramel. Add juice and wine carefully (caramel will harden and steam vigorously). Cook over moderately low heat, stirring, until caramel is dissolved, about 5 minutes. Remove sauce from heat.
• Arrange orange slices, overlapping, in 4 shallow bowls and spoon sauce over fruit. Let macerate at least 30 minutes before serving.

SCALOPPINE ALLA MARSALA

Steps:

• Place pork, chicken, turkey, or veal between two sheets of plastic wrap. Using a meat pounder or the side of a cleaver, pound out to a thickness of 1/8-inch.
• Place flour in a shallow dish. Season with salt and pepper. Very lightly coat each scallop with flour, tapping off excess.
• In a large skillet, heat butter with oil until very hot but not smoking. Quickly brown scallops, 30 seconds to 1 minute per side. Transfer to a serving platter and keep warm.
• Add Marsala to pan along with orange juice for pork, lemon juice for chicken, turkey, or veal. Cook, scraping with a wooden spoon to loosen browned bits from bottom of pan. Add orange or lemon slices, and continue to cook until sauce thickens, about 4 minutes more. Garnish platter with orange or lemon slices. Pour sauce over meat and serve immediately, garnished with thyme.

ORANGE TOFU MARSALA

Steps:

• Press your tofu under a heavy weighted object for 20 minutes on one side and 15 on the other. Discard the water.
• Pressing the tofu will prevent it from being water logged and keep it together when its cooking.
• Put the soup broth, orange juice, orange zest, marsala wine and teryaki sauce in a measuring cup, mix it and taste it, if you like the taste, set aside.
• Dice your onion and crush the garlic. Saute this in a large saute pan until the onion is transparent and set aside. Be very careful not to burn the garlic, so don't cook this on high, medium is sufficient. When done, remove from pan and set aside.
• Slice up the mushrooms and sauted them in the same pan that you sauted the onion and garlic inches Add more oil if necessary. Cook them until they are just done. Remove from pan and set aside.
• Cut the tofu in half the long way, then in four pieces. You should end up with 8 equal sized pieces. Saute until these are light brown and then remove from pan and set aside.
• Melt the margarine in the saute pan and make a roux with the spelt flour. Stir constantly so it won't burn. Once the flour is all incorporated, add your soup broth mixture slowly to this stirring to incorporate.
• Put all your ingredients back into the saute pan with the broth/roux mixture and gently mix so that all the tofu and mushrooms are coated with the sauce. Add your herbs and season with salt and pepper. Taste again to make sure its to your liking.
• Simmer for 1/2 hour.
• Serve over rice or pasta.
• Bon Appetit!

PORK CHOPS WITH ORANGE AND MARSALA

Steps:

• Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels.
• In a large fry pan over medium heat, warm the olive oil.
• Add the chops and cook, turning once, until browned on both sides, about 10 minutes total.
• Season the chops with salt and pepper.
• Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to cook until the chops are just cooked through but are still juicy when cut into the center with a knife, about 15 minutes.
• Transfer to a plate and cover loosely with aluminum foil.
• Add the Marsala to the pan and increase the heat to medium-high.
• Cook, stirring, until the wine is reduced and slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
• Add the orange juice and bring to a simmer.
• Return the chops to the pan and sprinkle with the grated orange zest.
• Cook, basting the chops with the pan juices, for 2 minutes.
• Transfer the chops and sauce to individual plates and garnish with orange zest strips and orange wedges.
• Serve immediately.

STICKY ORANGE & MARSALA PUDDING

Steps:

• Butter the inside of a 1.2-litre pudding basin. If you're steaming the pudding on the hob, boil the kettle and have a large saucepan with a lid and a heatproof saucer ready. Cut a sheet of foil and greaseproof paper, both about 30cm long, and butter the greaseproof.
• Spoon 3 tbsp syrup into the bottom of the basin. Lay 5 slices of clementine or satsuma in the bottom, overlapping like petals. In a bowl, beat the butter and sugar until creamy, then add eggs gradually, beating all the while, until light and fluffy. Add a spoonful of flour if the mix starts to split. Tip in the breadcrumbs and the rest of the flour, fold until combined, then add all remaining ingredients and fold again. Spoon mix on top of the fruit slices. Add remaining slices of clementine or satsuma against the side of the bowl as you go.
• To cook on the hob, cover with greaseproof and foil and steam for 1½ hrs (see Know-how, below). To microwave, losely cover with cling film, pierce once, then cook on Medium for 12 mins. To check it's done, poke a skewer into the pudding; it should come out clean.
• Make the syrup by heating the ingredients in a small pan. When the pudding is ready, turn out and serve drenched with syrup, or leave to cool and chill for up to 3 days. To reheat, re-cover with foil and greaseproof and steam for 30 mins, or cover with cling film and microwave on Medium for 5 mins until hot. Reheat sauce in the microwave or in a pan.
