I was watching Lidia Bastianici to day on the local pbs and had to get
this recipe from her web site.

I have never made a Tira Mi Su before but i think im going to try this one.

Limoncello Tira Mi Su



Servings: 12

Description:

Ingredients: ¾ Pasteurized egg yolks
1 ½ cup pasteurized egg whites
1 cup sugar
zest of three lemons
1 ½ tsp. Lemon oil
35 ladyfingers
2 lb. Marscapone cheese
4 cups Limoncello liquor
2 cups simple syrup



Directions: Whip whites and ½ cup sugar until stiff peaks form
Mix yolks with remaining sugar, add marscapone cheese, lemon oil and
lemon zest. Mix well making sure that there are no lumps.
Fold in whites.

Combine the four cups of Limoncello liquor with the 2 cups of simple
syrup (this will be used to moisten the lady fingers)
After dipping the lady fingers in the mixture form one layer of lady
fingers at bottom spread a layer of the lemon marscapone on top repeat
once. Reserve leftover Limoncello mixture.
You should let the tira mi su set for at least 2 hours before serving,
overnight is ideal.

Candied lemon chips (for garnish) slice lemon into very thin slices dip
into 3 cups simple syrup lay flat on silk pad lined sheet tray and bake
at 200 degrees until crisp, about 2 hours.
Candied kumquats cut kumquats in half and remove pits.
Place in pot with 3 cups simple syrup (enough to cover kumquats) and let
simmer slowly, cook the kumquats until they become translucent

Take left over Limoncello and simple syrup mixture and add 1 tsp. of
cornstarch for a sauce to garnish the plate.

Why did you have to show me this?!?!

I have a bit over a half gallon or more of limoncello aging in one of
my closets. It is about ready to bottle. I am saving it for the NM
Cook-in, but if it doesn't get drunk there, it might go into this.

I knew there were a few Limoncello aficionados on this list and thought
they might like to see the recipe, but i also like a lot of Lidia's
recipes, a number of her recipes have made it into my repertoire.

I used to waste potatoes over cooking them with my pot roast till i
watched her do the pot roast without the potatoes, take the fully cooked
pot roast out of its braising liquid and then put thick slices of
potatoes in to cook till just done.

On today's show she did a rolled, stuffed beef pot roast, stuffed with
olives and mushrooms and then braised. I intend to try that. As well as
her roasted garlic & chicken stock sauce for fresh green beans.

I believe its episode #111 and while i was able to find the Tira Mi Su
recipe i cant seem to locate her stuffed pot roast recipe.

I love her stuff too. The episode today was chicken cooked with
artichokes...plus she also cooked some fennel.

I might have it. I have her latest cookbook, and I can look through
it and see if it is in there. I hate typing in recipes though, so if
I find it, it might be easier for me to scan it and send it to you as
a pdf file. Would that work for you?

Very much so, Christine and thank you, i am not exactly sure if it is
stuffed & rolled i missed the first 5 or so minutes of the show and i
remember when she was cutting it to serve it had olives and iirc
mushrooms in it, but it was a braised beef (i think) or pot roast on the
same show (episode 111) with the limonceello tira mi su.

After the beef was finished she removed it added tomato paste to the
remaining braising liquid and thickly sliced potatoes, it looked very good.

Maybe you watched two different shows and didn't notice.

111: BIGOLI JUST FOR ME
Lidia serves a luscious bowl of pasta filled with hearty chicken
livers, but save room for dessert because she's cooking up a tasty
Limoncello Tiramisu. And her visit to the Veneto area is exactly where
the famous tiramisu was born…but this twist with limoncello is a real
delight.

123: GOULASH, ITALIAN-STYLE
Travel to Trieste and discover the secret behind Italian-style
goulash. Lidia shows us how to serve up this meaty dish with a side of
delicious potatoes. This isn't just your typical meat and potato dish!

Hope that helps! I'll email you the doc I found with episode
descriptions.

Yeah, Joseph. I can find the recipes for the Tiramisu and the other
recipes that sf mentions, in the new book. But nothing like what you
are describing. She does have a pot roast recipe in there, braised in
Barolo, but it isn't rolled or anything. And no olives....

The book is divided into the different sections of Italy, and the
dishes from that area. The ones sf saw are in one little area of
Italy... The pot roast, if it is what you saw, is from another area
of Italy.

Christine, who is also confused with what you saw...

Now where ever will I find Limoncello in Naples Italy? LOL

Thanks for what looks like a great recipe!

I did turn the show on late and only saw her at the end of the show
preparing to serve the pot roast, i did not see the part where she made
it. But it was on the same show with the Tira Mi Su.

Sounds like it may be tasty, I have to say, but it is *not* Tira Mi Su. It really
irks me when television and celebrity chefs make something that has one or two
similar ingredients to the original dish and then call it by that name! No offense to
you, of course
