I have half a tub of mascarpone left over from dinner last night.
(Delicious: lentils with spinach, mascarpone, and goat cheese. Served it with barley pilaf and parmesan-coated baked psoudo-fried eggplant slices.) What to do with the rest of the mascarpone? If I had ladyfingers I'd make tiramisu, but none in the house. What would you do with it? I've never bought it before. |

Make a baked-blind nut crust, add confectioner's sugar to taste to the mascarpone and spread in crust, top with wild blueberries, glaze with red currant glaze. |

The basic recipe I use is: 1 1/4 cups non-fat milk 2/3 cup sugar 8 oz. mascarpone whatever flavorings you want Heat the milk and sugar to dissolve the sugar, cool, whisk in the mascarpone, and mix in the ice cream maker. So far, I've made vanilla (split a vanilla bean, scrape out the goodies, add both the goodies and the pod along with the milk and sugar); cinnamon (to go over apples sauteed in butter); and chocolate (a heaping tsp of cocoa and about 1/3 vanilla bean into the milk, plus smashed chocolate chips and toasted almond slivers before the mix goes into the machine.) All were very tasty. This week I'll try using some berry preserves. If your "half a tub" means about 4 ozs., you can easily ramp this up to fit 12 ozs. There would be plenty of room for this in my ice cream maker. David |

Grill or broil any of the following and serve with a dollop of mascarpone: peach halves (sprinkle with nutmeg after grilling) plum halves (sprinkle lightly with cinnamon) fig halves (put a couple drops of good balsamic vinegar on top) pineapple wedges (sprinkle lightly with allspice or vanilla extract) If you don't feel like firing up the grill, you can serve the mascarpone with the uncooked cut-up fruit. In that case you can add strawberries to the list, and you might want to sprinkle them with brown sugar. Bob |

Whoa, now that's creative. I've got to try that. Here's a recipe for homemade mascarpone. Use the highest quality cream you can get and you'll have something better than store bought. It's wonderful stuff. I seem to rememeber Bob Pastorio mentioning he uses citric acid instead of tartaric acid. Citric is easier to find. Homemade Mascarpone 1 Q light cream or half & half 1/4 t tartaric acid Heat cream to 180-185 F, remove from heat. Add tartaric acid. If cheese does not coagulate add a bit more. Too much will make it grainy. Drain using cheesecloth or coffee filter. -- Reg |

You can also save it until you get ladyfingers ![]() in a pastry tube and "stuff" strawberries with it. Sometimes I add a drop of almond extract too. Or, you can mix it with powdered sugar and vanilla and sandwich it between cookies. My SIL made these for a baby shower with tiny chocolate chip cookies and chocolate cookies. I also make a really good polenta dish with mascarpone. You cook the polenta with chicken stock, then when it thickens, pour it into a casserole dish and top with spoonfuls of mascarpone and pesto, side by side, and bake 20 minutes. It's sooooo yummy and comforting and good. And did I mention I really like this decadent dish?? hth, kimberly |

It's sooooo > yummy and comforting and good. And did I mention I really like this decadent dish?? > > hth, > kimberly This was our winner! Here's my variation on it: Made a thick polenta, with veggie stock as the liquid. Simmered 35 minutes, then stirred in some freshly grated romano cheese. Spread it in a loaf pan to solidify. Sliced it and laid the slices in a 9x13 baking dish. Spread a layer of carmelized onions over it. Sliced 4 leftover cloves of roasted garlic over the onions. Dolloped mascarpone and pesto alternat3ely on the slices. Sprinkled the last bit of mozzarella over it. Baked it for 30 minutes until hot and bubbly. Served it with white beans, and a salad of blanched green beans, sliced cucmber and toasted hazelnuts marinated in a lemon vinaigrette. Thanks for the idea....it's been ages since I've done polenta, and this was so good and gooey and rich and hot........ |
