Smoked Desert Dumplings

There are some great renditions of this recipe out there in the Warcraft world. 

The Bronze Kettle

Rock, Paper, Shotgun

Here is my version. 

You will need:

Dumpling Dough

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon salt

1 egg, beaten

2/3 cup cold water

This recipe made about 24 dumplings

In a medium bowl combine the flour, salt, egg and water. Mix all together to form dough.

My rolling pin is a plastic PVC pipe...don't judge:)

Roll reserved dough out on a floured surface. Cut circles out of dough, using a small round container. (I used a water goblet.)  

For the Filling:

1/2 pound of ground sausage cooked 

2 cup bag of shredded cheese

small container of ricotta cheese

You will have leftovers.

Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each dumpling and fold over. Pinching to seal tightly or use a fork.

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; drop dumplings in boiling water and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, or until they float.

After boiling them I saute them in a little butter with onions.

Yum!

Stuffed Bush Chicken

You will need:
2 cornish hens
2 cups (400g) of stuffing (boxed or homemade)
4 TBS (60g) butter
Your favorite seasonings
  (I use onion flakes, garlic, cumin salt and pepper)

Unwrap the hens. Make sure they are defrosted and give a quick rinse off under cold water. Place then lovingly side by side in a baking dish.

Awwwww.

Make box stuffing according to directions. I'd tell you how I made mine but that is top secret. Perhaps in another post.

Stuff the hens and tie legs together. You can use anything to tie the legs together. If you are using something "unconventional" wet it first with water.

Don't have kitchen twine, don't worry. Use tin foil, sewing thread, gauze, clean shoe lace, or cut a slit into the skin on one of the legs and slide the other leg through. Did that chicken just truss itself, unbelievable!

Great ideas huh? I know what you're thinking. Niki, Your amazing and awesome.
I am just here to help, being awesome just happens.

Lift up the skin on the top of the chicken, rub a tab of butter directly on the chicken. Then lay the skin back down.

Sprinkle with your favorite herbs.

Bake at 350degrees F (176 degrees C) oven for 45-60 minutes. After 30 minutes check every 15.

I put the extra stuffing all around the chicken to bake it but the stuffing at the bottom of the pan got soggy so I wouldn't recommend it. Unless you like your stuffing on the softer side.

Yum!

Banana Cocktail

Sold all over Azeroth Banana Cocktail's are available to both Horde and Alliance. I serve it non-alcoholic to make this an alcoholic drink add a shot of your favorite rum or 99 Bananas Schnapps. 

You will need the following:
Vanilla wafers
Vanilla Ice Cream
Whipped Topping (can or frozen)
Half and Half  (you can use milk, I like half & half because its thicker. Plus, use extra for your coffee the next morning.)
Banana

Add 4 scoops of vanilla ice cream
4 oz of half & half
banana (cut up into pieces)

 Blend well. This is a smoothie maker but a there is no ice so any blender will work fine. This recipe doesn't make a whole lot so if you are entertaining a large amount of people double it or hide it from the Dwarves.

Please drink responsibly, take a flightpath home.

Herb Baked Egg

This recipe is one of the first recipes you get as a new cook. No more boring breakfasts around Ironforge anymore. The dwarves will line up outside bars to get this. (Of course they eat breakfast in bars. Where else would they wake up?)

You will need:


muffin pan
1 egg for each person you are cooking for
1 slice of bread for each person
1 thinly slice of ham or bacon for each person (I cubed up some ham)
butter
shredded cheese
basil


Grease each muffin section with butter or a spray.

Cut each piece of bread into a square and butter it. Make sure the corners point up.
Put each piece of bread into the muffin pan. It will act like a pocket.

It is OK if some of the egg is touching the pan, if you greased it well, it will come right off.




Lay the ham on top of the butter bread.




Crack egg and place on ham. Sprinkle some basil on too and a bit of cheese.

Bake until eggs are set to your liking. Average time is 15 minutes. Give the pan a slight shake, if there is jiggle. Then the egg is no set and will run when you cut it.
