Stuffed Saddle of Lamb

From: Timothy

Subject: saddle of lamb stuffed with beef tenderloin and veal mousse

I made this at Easter in about 2002. I found the recipe either in a magazine 
or in a Detroit-area newspaper (I don’t remember that there were any pictures). 
The mousse was simple: cream, ground veal, not much in the way of seasoning 
but maybe some brandy, pureed and then spread on the butterfly-cut lamb saddle. 
The beef tenderloins were placed left and right of the centerline of the saddle, 
then the whole was rolled up from both sides, and tied.
The recipe is so simple that I don’t need it to recreate the dish, but I’d never have 
thought it up...and it was good enough to share!
Thanks,
Timothy 

Hello Timothy,

I had no success with this. The only mention that I could find of a recipe for saddle of lamb stuffed with veal mousse was on a list of the recipes in this magazine:

Pleasures of Cooking Magazine
Issue #11 (January/February, 1979)

See: Worthpoint

I’ll post this on the site in the hopes that a reader can help.

Spiced Rum Chicken

Subject: Looking for a chicken recipe

I lost a recipe and have tried unsuccessfully to find it by using 
advanced search on Google, using some of the ingredients.  
I had thought the name was Oak Orchard Chicken or Golden 
Oak Chicken but neither returned the recipe. I also searched 
under the brand name ingredients that I could remember with 
no success. Initially I got the recipe from a friend who had picked 
it up at a hospitality/healthcare food show.  She has lost it too.  
Some of the ingredients and process are:
 
Boneless chicken breasts pounded flat 
Golden Dipt breading (breast is dipped twice) and refrigerated 
before deep frying
 
Some of the sauce ingredients include but not limited to:
 
Captain Morgan's Spiced Rum
Almonds
Toasted red peppers
 
It is a great recipe and I would love to have it again.  
Thank you for any assistance you can provide.  
I did check your site before making the request.
 
Best regards,
Becky 

Hi Becky,

I had no success locating a recipe with those ingredients. I’ll post your request on the site.

Norwegian Kringla Cookies

My mother had a recipe for this cookie that had nutmeg as an ingredient. 
She either baked first and then dunked in boiling water, or viva versa. 
Sadly she passed away, and we cannot find the recipe.  They turn out to 
be more like a soft bagel. My brother would love these. Can you help me? 
Someone must have this particular preparation for these.  
Thank you, Jayne

Hello Jayne,

I looked at several dozen Norwegian Kringla recipes. I found a few that call for nutmeg, and two of those are below. I found a few that called for dipping the tops of the kringla in cold water or brushing them with cold water after baking, but none of these called for nutmeg. I did not find any at all that called for dipping in boiling water. Many kringla recipes call for chilling the dough overnight.

Hi Nancy,

I had no success finding a recipe for the 54th Street Bar & Grill Potato Soup. There is a recipe here that claims to taste like it:

Baked Potato Soup

The recipe below is not from 54th Street, but is highly recommended.

2/3 cup flour
6 cups milk
1 tablespoon salt 
1/2 teaspoon black pepper 
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
4 green onions, chopped and divided
12 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled 
2 cups medium cheddar cheese 
2 cups sour cream

until completely soft. Cut into halves lengthwise and scoop out pulp, 
set aside. In a large stock, melt butter over low heat. Add flour, 
stirring until mixed thoroughly; about 1 minute. Gradually add milk, 
cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a whisk until 
mixture is thickened and bubbly. Add potato pulp (using whisk to break 
up potato chunks), salt, pepper, 2 heaping tablespoons green onions, 
half the bacon, and 1 cup cheese. Cook until thoroughly heated. 
Stir in 1 cup of the sour cream. Add extra milk if necessary to achieve 
desired consistency.
