We asked for a preview recipe that we could expect to see at the event. Chef Tarver King graciously responded. Below is his recipe for homemade cheese straws--perfect for weekend snacking and football watching!
Cheese Straws
- From Tarver King, The Restaurant at Patowmack Farm
8 oz Cheddar cheese, Spring Gap makes a nice one! 2 cups all purpose flour 1 teaspoon salt 6 oz butter, cubed and chilled 1/4 tsp dried red chile(s), crushed 3 tablespoons whole goats milk (Try using Shepards Whey drinkable Goat yogurt.)
|
To serve:
Long shavings of wigwam ham (but any aged ham will work well)
Good strong mustardDIRECTIONS:
Grind all the dry ingredients and butter together in a food processor.Drizzle in milk until it forms a dough. Chill dough until firm, 2 hours or so.Roll dough out on a lightly floured surface. Cut into long sticks the thickness of a pencil. Roll lightly to make round. Lay on parchment paper and bake at 340 degrees until golden brown. (They will feel slightly soft. Don't worry they crisp up when they cool down).
Dip the end of the grissini in mustard and wrap it in ham. Let sit for a few minutes for the ham to soften and serve. |
