Hello Ed,
I can only find one recipe for basket cheese or formagetto. See below.
Phaed
Basket Cheese
Ingredients
1 gallon milk
1 tsp rennet
2 pinches salt
Heat the milk to luke warm (86-90F)and add the rennet. Turn off heat
and let set for about 40 minutes.
After the milk has set turn the heat back on to low and heat again
for about 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon pull the curds to the
side of the pot. Keep moving the curds for about 10 minutes with
the slotted spoon. (This breaks up the curd and keeps them drain in.)
Remove the curds from the pot with your slotted spoon and place into
a basket. Return the basket with the curds in it back into the whey
and cover the curds with the whey pressing the curds into the basket
with your hands.
Remove the basket from the whey and set another mold inside of the
first one and put an 6-8oz. glass of water on top of it. (this is
used as a weight for pressing the cheese. Press this way for 2 hours.
Take out the cheese and turn over, salt to taste, return to the basket
and continue pressing for 1 and a half hours longer. Remove the cheese
from the press and refrigerate.
This cheese will have a 3 day shelf life.

Hello Dianne,
I found three different recipes for "Green Mountain Salve" (Actually
two - the last two are basically the same except for amounts of
ingredients.). There are several ingredients in the 2nd and 3rd recipes
that might be quite difficult to obtain. See below.
Phaed
Green Mountain Salve.—Take one pound Beeswax, one pound of soft Butter,
and one and one-half pounds soft Turpentine, twelve ounces Balsam Fir.
Melt and strain. Use to heal fresh wounds, burns, scalds and all bad sores.

oil of hemlock, balsam or fir, oil of ariganum, oil of red ceder and
benice turpentine of each 1 oz., oil of worm wood 1/2 oz., vedigris very
finely pulverized 1 oz., melt the first articles together and add the
oils having rubbed the vedigris up with a little of the oils and put it
in with the other articles stirring well, then pour into cold water and
work as urn until cool enough to roll.
----------------------------

Hello Rob,
Well, as Outback states on their website, they don't give out their
recipes. So, any that you see on the Internet are copycats. However,
there isn't a copycat for their steamed veggies.
Best I can do is offer a couple of clues found on message boards:
On one board a woman who says her son is a waiter at Outback said that
he told her they use Maggi Seasoning on the veggies. You can buy Maggi
Seasoning lots of places, including here:
Intergrocery
Your local supermarket may even have it.
On another board, a poster said that a waitress told her that the veggies
are cooked in clarified butter in a plastic baggy in a microwave.
If I were you, I'd try steaming the veggies in a regular vegetable steamer
with Maggi Seasoning and clarified butter. Put the Maggi on the veggies,
not in the water. You might also try marinating the veggies in the Maggi.

Dear Uncle Phaedrus,
Here is a blast from the past for you. I originally requested a recipe for
Outback Restaurant veggies back on Apr 24, 2006. You found out
that they used Maggi sauce.
Looking again, I stumbled across https://www.copykat.com/2011/10/09/outback-steakhouse-steamed-green-beans/.
This 2011 version by Stephanie Manley appears to be the closest recipe I have found to date.
Melt together these ingredients and combine with steamed or sautéed vegetables:
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon Maggi seasoning
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked pepper
While a bit heavy on the sweet (maybe cut the brown sugar back to 1 Tbsp), it does come
pretty close to the taste of Outback that I remember.
Thanks again!
Rob
