Squeeze Margarine Recipe 45

SQUEEZE MARGARINE RECIPE - (4/5)

Steps:

• Beat margarine with corn oil, adding it a little at a time till smooth & blended. The margarine must be at room temperature and very soft before you begin-but do not melt it or you will break down the natural solidifiers & will produce a granulated mixture- not the least bit appetizing. You can keep it in the refrigerator in a squeeze type bottle Keep the margarine always refrigerated when not in use. Makes about 6 cups.

HOMEMADE FAILSAFE MARGARINE

Steps:

• Pour a little of the water into a blender, then add oil and the liquid lecithin.
• Blend briefly on high speed while adding the rest of the water.
• Store in refrigerator and use within 2-3 weeks.
• Variation: for a very rich cream substitute, add 1 tbsp maple syrup and 2 tsp carob powder.

HOMEMADE SQUEEZE CHEESE AND CRACKERS

Steps:

• In a food processor fitted with the blade attachment, add the butter and cream cheese. Process until fully combined. Add the cheese, milk and mustard powders. Process again until smooth, 30 seconds to 1 minute, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula as needed.
• Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a small star tip. Pipe onto the crackers and serve immediately. Can be made a few days ahead and stored in the refrigerator, but let sit on the counter until it's soft enough to put into the piping bag before using.

BIG CHEESE SQUEEZE

Steps:

• Find 2 heavy skillets that will nest together. Two (10-inch) cast iron skillets are ideal. Heat them over high heat.
• Meanwhile, spread mustard on one slice of bread. Distribute the cheese evenly over the mustard, season with fresh black pepper and top with second piece of bread.
• Spritz the bread surface that's staring up at you with olive oil using either a Misto or a pump sprayer. A light coat will do, don't soak.
• When the pans are hot enough to vigorously sizzle a drop of water, remove them from the heat and place the sandwich, top-side down in the middle of one pan. (if your pans are a different size, this would be the larger one.) Spritz the slice now facing you, as well as the bottom of the other skillet. Lay the skillet right on top of the sandwich. If the top pan isn't cast iron, weigh it down with a brick, can, or something of similar heft.
• Wait patiently, crack a beer. When you hear the first bit of cheese run out and sizzle on the pan, it's done. This will take anywhere from 3 to 5 minutes.
• Carefully remove the top skillet, (you may need to coax it off with a spatula, but I doubt it). Just look at it. It's perfect...better than mom's (no reason to tell her.)
• Remove to a plate, count to 10 and slice it in half. Take a bite. Take another. So they lost ... there's always next year.
