Rice Souffle With Pears And Raspberries Recipes

RASPBERRY SOUFFLE

Steps:

• Generously butter four 8-ounce ramekins with the softened butter and then, using a pastry brush, brush the butter on the sides of the ramekins in an upward direction; it will help the souffles rise. Dust the ramekins with 1 tablespoon superfine sugar, dividing it evenly among the ramekins.
• In a medium saucepan, combine the raspberry liqueur, lemon juice, 1 cup raspberries and the remaining 2 tablespoons superfine sugar and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook until the raspberries have cooked down to a jam-like consistency, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature.
• Transfer 1 cup of the sauce to a large bowl and set aside. Reserve the rest in the pan.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F; position the rack in the middle.
• Divide the remaining 1/4 cup raspberries among the ramekins and top evenly with the raspberry sauce from the pan. Set aside in the refrigerator until ready to use.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the egg whites on low speed until foamy, 1 minute. Add the cream of tartar and continue to beat on low speed for 1 minute. Raise the speed to medium and slowly add the powdered sugar. Continue to beat until the whites hold firm peaks, about 7 minutes. Fold a third of the beaten whites into the reserved 1 cup raspberry sauce to lighten it. Fold in the remaining egg whites. Spoon the souffle batter into the ramekins, smoothing it over if you want a tidy finish (see Cook's Note) or mounding it, like cotton candy, if you want a more rustic look. (If you are going for a classic souffle look, be sure to carefully and thoroughly wipe around the ramekin edges.)
• Place the ramekins on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until the souffles are puffed and dark golden, about 15 minutes; they should remain pudding-like on the inside. Serve immediately, garnished with raspberries, if desired.

FROZEN PEACH SOUFFLE WITH RASPBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Use a food mill to process raspberries and remove seeds; discard seeds.
• Alternatively, you can puree raspberries in a food processor, then strain to remove seeds; makes about 1 cup raspberry puree.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together raspberry puree and sugar, until sugar is dissolved; stir in lemon juice and chill (makes about 1/2 cup syrup and can be stored up to 3 days in the refrigerator).
• Cut a sheet of waxed paper to wrap around a one quart souffle dish; fold in thirds, lengthwise, so it is about 4 inches wide; wrap around the souffle dish and tape ends together, like a collar, so it extends the "height" of the dish by 3 inches; chill dish in freezer.
• Alternatively, use the same method to increase the "height" of 8 individual ramekins by 1 1/2 inches.
• In a large saucepan, over medium heat, cook peaches, 1/3 cup sugar and the lemon juice, stirring frequently, until peaches are soft and break down to an applesauce consistency, about 15 minutes.
• Puree the cooked peaches in a food mill or blender; you'll have about 2 cups.
• In a small saucepan, over medium heat, warm peach liqueur, stir in gelatin and cook, while stirring, until the gelatin melts; stir the gelatin mixture and the almond extract into the peach puree; chill until cold.
• Bring a pot of water to a simmer; beat egg yolks with remaining 2/3 cups sugar in a mixing bowl.
• Place mixing bowl over the simmering water, being sure the bowl does not touch the water; whisk egg yolks until they are pale yellow and have doubled in volume, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Remove bowl from heat, whisk in the peach mixture and whisk until it cools down.
• Beat egg whites to stiff peaks; in a separate bowl, beat whipping cream to soft peaks.
• Stir half the egg whites into the peach mixture; add remaining egg whites to the whipped cream, then pour the peach mixture on top.
• Gently fold them all together.
• Gently spoon mixture into the souffle dish or the prepared ramekins; it should come at least halfway up the paper collar.
• Smooth out the top and scatter with the toasted almonds.
• Freeze until very firm, at least 4 hours; it can be frozen overnight, but transfer to the refrigerator for an hour to soften before serving.
• If you do make it more than 1 day in advance, press plastic wrap to surface, once frozen.
• To serve, carefully remove collar, serve thin slices with a little raspberry sauce spooned over, and the rest passed.
• Alternatively, serve in individual ramekins, with a little raspberry sauce.

PEARS WITH RASPBERRIES AND MERINGUE

Steps:

• Peel the pears using a swivel-bladed paring knife. Cut away the stems.
• Combine enough water to cover the pears when added and 4 tablespoons lemon juice and add the pears as they are peeled.
• Cut the pears lengthwise in half. Scoop out the cores, and a little of the meat, of each half to form a nice-sized cavity.
• Combine the 3 cups water with 1 1/2 cups of the sugar and the vanilla bean or extract. Bring to the boil and add the pear halves and the remaining 1 tablespoon lemon juice. When the mixture returns to the boil reduce the heat and cook about 20 minutes or until pears are tender when pierced with a fork. Remove the pears and reserve 1 cup of the cooking liquid. Let the pears cool.
• Put half of the berries in the container of a food processor or electric blender and blend while gradually adding the reserved 1 cup of pear-cooking liquid and the orange juice. This mixture may be used as is, but it is best to put it through a fine sieve of the sort known in French kitchens as a chinois, pressing to extract as much liquid as possible. There should be about 1 1/3 cups.
• Fill the cavity of each pear with about 3 of the remaining berries. Quickly invert the pears on an ovenproof serving dish.
• Preheat the broiler.
• Beat the egg whites until stiff and gradually beat in the remaining 1/4 cup sugar. Continue beating until stiff. Spoon the resulting meringue into a pastry bag outfitted with a star-shaped tube (No. 3B). Squeeze out the meringue in star patterns over the pears. Pour the sauce around the pears. Place the dish under the broiler about 4 inches from the source of heat. Broil briefly until the tips of the stars are browned. Garnish around the sauce with a circle of the remaining raspberries.
