Crispy Leaf Potatoes – Rasa Malaysia (Video)

I love it when I come across a recipe during my research that is not only incredibly simple, but also delicious and will dress up any table, no matter what the occasion.  These crispy leaf potatoes from Bee over at Rasa Malaysia are just such a recipe! You can learn more about Bee and her blog here. I’m only surprised that I had not heard of her before, she appears to be pretty famous! 

I cut the recipe down for our family by two thirds, and I used my 2- Qt. Enameled Cast Iron Baker AND, of course, the Rapid-Prep Mandoline:

Rapid-Prep Mandoline

Upright Mandoline

Our Rapid-Prep Mandoline lets you safely slice, dice, julienne, and french-fry cut fruits and veggies in seconds. Simply select your cut, adjust its thickness from 8 thickness settings, and get prepping. Our mandoline’s stainless-steel blade cuts through tough veggies, so you can transform a variety of ingredients into beautiful slices.

And, you can cut ingredients with confidence—our mandoline is designed to safely keep hands clear of blades. When you’ve finished prepping, you can store the food chute and food pusher in the food catch tray and fold it flat, though you’ll use it so often, you may want to leave it on your counter!

2- Qt. Enameled Cast Iron Baker

Enameled cast iron is the kind of cookware that will become a fixture at every special meal you bake—and that includes weeknight meals. This baker is beautiful so it’s ready to go directly from your stove (including induction) or oven to your table. You’ll reach for it again and again because it’s low maintenance and versatile.

This baker has a light-colored enameled interior which means you can start using it right away—no seasoning required—and it lets you easily see food browning so you can avoid scorching it. Cast iron’s excellent heat retention means that food stays hot and delicious even if not everyone makes it to the table as soon as dinner’s ready. 

Heat-safe up to 500°F (260°C), this pan is perfect for baking sides like vegetable casseroles, corn pudding, and stuffing.​ Its wide, shallow design makes lots of surface area for bubbly, cheesy browning in the oven. And, its shape lets you easily scrape food down the sides of the pan or flip food with a spatula. Say hello to perfect Scalloped Potatoes!

With the cooking traditions and durability of cast iron comes a certain weightiness. But not to worry—our bakers have two sturdy handles to help you lift and carry dishes from the oven right to your dinner table.

Product Details

  • Dishwasher safe for easy clean-up. Because the rim around the edge of the cast iron isn’t enameled, we recommend hand drying the baker when the cycle is finished to prevent rusting.
  • 12.5” x 8.54” (31.75 cm x 21.69 cm)

Perfect Roast Turkey – Ina Garten (Video)

Crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside, this recipe from Ina Garten and Food Network is the perfect way to make your turkey – so you can truly enjoy the day with those you love. 

This is the first time I’ve made this turkey, as I have been very loyal to my other recipe since 1997.  I can honestly say that this recipe is just as good and, due to the fact that there is substantially less prep work, this one I will definitely keep making!

I used my Enameled Cast Iron Pan to roast my turkey – it was perfect in every way!!

14 x 10 (35-cm x 25-cm) Enameled Cast Iron Pan

The Perfect Cast Iron Roasting Pan for Big Meals

This pan will be your secret weapon for special occasions and everyday meals, because it’s like two pans in one: A 3.5″ (9-cm) deep lasagna pan for big batches of family favorites, and a cast iron pan with rack for roast, chicken, and turkey dinners.

The stainless-steel rack lets air circulate around big cuts of meat for even cooking, and the handles sit high so they’re easy to grab and fold for storage. The high sides are great for baked pasta, lasagna, and casseroles, and keep your food from bubbling over. With the durability of cast iron comes a certain weightiness. But not to worry—this pan has two sturdy handles to help you lift and carry from the oven right to your dinner table.

About Enameled Cast Iron

Enameled cast iron is the kind of cookware that will become a fixture at every special meal you make—and that includes weeknight meals. The light enameled exterior means you can start using it right away—no seasoning required—and you can see food browning, so you can avoid scorching it. The beautifully enameled exterior lets you bring this cookware right from the stove or oven to the table, and cast iron’s excellent heat retention means food stays hot and delicious—even if not everyone makes it to the table as soon as dinner’s ready.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • Zest from one lemon
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1 fresh turkey (10-12 pounds)
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly Ground black pepper
  • 1 large bunch fresh thyme
  • 1 whole lemon, halved
  • 1 onion, quartered
  • 1 head of garlic, cut in half crosswise

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F/180⁰C.

Prepare your lemon, onion and garlic.

Chop thyme and zest lemon. Combine butter, chopped thyme, zest, salt and pepper to taste in small bowl.  Mix well to combine. 

Remove giblets from turkey, then wash inside and out, then pat dry and place in Roasting Pan.  Lift skin on breast of turkey, then insert butter mixture liberally under the skin and above.  Season with salt and pepper to taste.  Place thyme, onion, lemon and garlic inside the cavity of the turkey. Tie legs and wings to body with cooking twine.

Roast turkey about 2 1/2 hours, or until an instant-read thermometer reads 165°F/75⁰C the thickest part of the turkey thigh, pricking the bird just above the crease between the thigh and the place where the turkey breast begins.  The juices should run clear when you cut between the leg and the thigh.  Remove the turkey to a cutting board and cover with aluminum foil; let rest for 20 minutes before carving.

That’s it!  I loved how easy this recipe was, and the turkey was perfectly cooked.  I hope that you’ll give this a try, and please leave a comment to let me know what you think about this recipe.  I would love to hear from you. Let’s make great food together!

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened 1 stick
  • Zest from one lemon
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme, chopped
  • 10-12 lb fresh turkey
  • kosher salt
  • Freshly Ground Black Pepper
  • 1 bunch fresh thyme
  • 1 lemon, halved
  • 1 onion, quartered
  • 1 head garlic, halved

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F/180⁰C. Prepare your lemon, onion and garlic.
  • Chop thyme and zest lemon. Combine butter, chopped thyme, zest, salt and pepper to taste in small bowl.  Mix well to combine. 
  • Remove giblets from turkey, then wash inside and out, then pat dry and place in Roasting Pan.  Lift skin on breast of turkey, then insert butter mixture liberally under the skin and above.  Season with salt and pepper to taste.  
  • Place thyme, onion, lemon and garlic inside the cavity of the turkey.  Tie legs and wings to body with cooking twine.
  • Roast turkey about 2 1/2 hours, or until an instant-read thermometer reads 165°F/75⁰C the thickest part of the turkey thigh, pricking the bird just above the crease between the thigh and the place where the turkey breast begins. The juices should run clear when you cut between the leg and the thigh.  Remove the turkey to a cutting board and cover with aluminum foil; let rest for 20 minutes before carving.
