Grapes Romanov Recipes

Steps:

• Wash the grapes and while still wet, pull them from the stems and place them in the dish from which they will be served.
• Sprinkle the brown sugar over the grapes, and roll them around in the sugar until they are completely coated.
• Top the grapes with the sour cream and refriger- ate for 4 hours or overnight.
• Just before serving, place the grapes into individual dessert dishes and sprinkle about 1/4 1teaspoon of nutmeg over each serving-- (more or less according to your taste.).

Steps:

• Season the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. In a heavy, large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. When the oil is hot, cook the chicken until browned on both sides. Remove from the pan and set aside.
• Keeping the same pan over medium heat, add the peppers and prosciutto and cook until the peppers have browned and the prosciutto is crisp, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, wine, and herbs. Using a wooden spoon, scrape the browned bits off the bottom of the pan. Return the chicken to the pan, add the stock, and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until the chicken is cooked through, about 20 to 30 minutes.
• If serving immediately, add the capers and the parsley. Stir to combine and serve. If making ahead of time, transfer the chicken and sauce to a storage container, cool, and refrigerate. The next day, reheat the chicken to a simmer over medium heat. Stir in the capers and the parsley and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Butter a casserole dish.
• Wrap each potato in foil and place on a baking sheet. Poke holes into potatoes using a knife.
• Bake in the preheated oven until very tender and easily pierced with a knife, about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
• Let potatoes cool to room temperature, at least 20 minutes. Unwrap. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until completely chilled, 8 hours to overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Shred potatoes into a large bowl using a cheese grater. Mince shallots to get 1/4 to 1/3 cup.
• Add shallots in with the potatoes; season with salt, white pepper, and cayenne. Toss with two forks until well combined. Add Cheddar cheese and mix well. Gently toss in sour cream until barely combined. Transfer mixture into the prepared baking dish, piling it up high, then patting it down very lightly.
• Bake in the preheated oven until piping hot and top is browned, 30 to 35 minutes.

Steps:

• Put the fruit in a glass bowl and sprinkle with 4 to 6 tablespoons sugar, the orange juice and the liqueur.
• Toss lightly.
• Cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, chill a medium bowl and beaters for whipping the cream.
• If you want to pipe the cream in rosettes, prepare a pastry bag fitted with a medium star tip.
• Whip the cream with 1 teaspoon sugar in the chilled bowl at medium-high speed until the cream thickens.
• Add the vanilla.
• For serving the cream in dollops, continue whipping until it is no longer runny and is just thick enough to hold its shape, somewhat like soft yogurt.
• For piping it in rosettes, whip the cream until it stands up in soft peaks when you lift the beaters.
• To serve, spoon the fruit into wine glasses or dessert dishes.
• Either spoon a dollop of whipped cream on each serving, or use a rubber spatula to fill the pastry bag, then pipe the whipped cream in decorative swirls or rosettes over the fruit.
• Serve immediately.
