EXCITED FOR THE CHRISTMAS WEEKEND!

All the gift wrapping and cooking for Christmas parties and feasts really pay off when I think about spending and sharing this Christmas with family and friends.

For those of you who just started reading into our posts, lemme recap a bit: The Noche Buena Food Friday features a Christmas-y recipe every week this month. We’ll be running a promo for that featured product for the remainder of the week. I hope you can take advantage of this merry treat!

In addition to tomorrow’s Noche Buena, you can add this dish. This recipe uses DVF Dairy Farm’s Buffala Mozzarella which you can have delivered or find at a major supermarket within Metro Manila; you can also experiment with Queso Blanco and Kesong Puti and tell us how it turns out! :)

Deep-Dish Eggplant Parmesan

Serves: 4 Prep Time: 30 Minutes Total Cooking Time: 1hr 15mins

Ingredients:

2pcs. Medium Eggplants (cut into 1/4th-inch slices)

1/4 cup and 2 tbs Olive Oil

kosher salt and black pepper

3 cups marinara sauce

1 and 1/2 or 2 (about 12oz) DVF Dairy Farm’s Buffala Mozzarella, sliced

1/3 cup grated Parmesan (about 2oz)

1/4 cup panko bread crumbs

1 tbs red wine vinegar

6 cups (about 5oz) mixed greens

1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved

Directions:

Heat oven to 400° F. 

On 2 rimmed baking sheets, brush the eggplants with ¼ cup of the oil; season with ¼ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper. Bake until tender, 20 to 25 minutes.

Spread 1 cup of the marinara in the bottom of an 8-inch baking dish. Top with half the eggplant, half the mozzarella, and half the Parmesan. 

Repeat, ending with the last cup of marinara. Top with the bread crumbs.

Bake until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbling, 30 to 35 minutes.

Meanwhile, whisk together the vinegar, the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil, and ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper. Add the greens and tomatoes and toss to combine. Serve with the eggplant Parmesan.

We love -- love -- LOVE CHEESE. So when we found this recipe of an Inside-Out Mozzarella Stuffed Chicken Parmesan, WE WENT GA-GA and figured that it must be an interesting use of some really creamy DVF Dairy Farm’s Buffala or Premio Mozzarella! This dish is basically a Chicken Parmigiana... stuffed with cheese and tomato... smothered in CHEESE. Yes. The picture alone makes us drool. :)     This recipe will take some time, so make sure you have all your ingredients ready and your tummies not growling (yet) ;)

SKILLET MOZZARELLA STUFFED CHICKEN PARMESAN

It's Chicken Parmigiana – inside out! Because it’s stuffed with cheese and tomato and…cheese. And all in one pan! Author: Karina - Cafe Delites Serves: 5

Ingredients:

5 boneless, skinless chicken thigh fillets (or cutlets)

Salt to season

1 egg

1 teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon salt

¼ cup breadcrumbs

¼ cup panko breadcrumbs

1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs

2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese

2 teaspoons olive oil

5 tablespoons garlic and herb flavoured tomato paste (or flavour of choice)

2 teaspoons dried parsley (optional)

2 teaspoons garlic powder (Extra)

2 teaspoons vegetable stock powder, divided (or extra salt)

10 thin slices DVF Dairy Farm’s Buffala or Premio Mozzarella

1 bottle Pasta/Marinara Sauce

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 230C | 450F. 

Lightly pound fillets between sheets of parchment/baking paper to ¼-inch thickness using a mallet. 

Pat chicken dry; season with salt.

In a shallow medium-sized bowl, whisk the the egg, garlic powder and salt together. Set aside. 

In a separate shallow bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, panko, basil and parmesan cheese.

Spread 1 tablespoon tomato paste over one side of each fillet; top with parsley, garlic powder and vegetable stock powder; place one slice of mozzarella onto each half of a fillet; roll each fillet (starting from the cheese end) and place seam side down. (Seal with a toothpick if needed).

Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch cast iron skillet (or oven-proof frying pan) over medium heat. 

Evenly coat the rolled chicken fillets into the egg mixture, then into the breadcrumb mixture.

Place the chicken (seam side down again) into the preheated skillet/pan and cook on each side for 4-5 minutes until the coating is golden brown and the cheese on the inside has melted.

Reduce heat to low and pour in the pasta sauce. 

Move the chicken around with tongs so the sauce is evenly covered over the base of the pan; allow to simmer for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Pour some sauce from the pan over each chicken; place skillet/pan in the oven to cook for a further 10 minutes. 

Remove pan from oven; top each chicken roll with remaining cheese slices; return to oven and allow to grill/broil on medium heat until cheese has melted over the top. 

Garnish with extra dried parsley and Italian herbs.

Serve warm over pasta; mashed potatoes or with a salad.

Tell us how you like it! And leave some for your family and friends! Have a great weekend!

Whenever we hear Jose Mari Chan, we know we have officially entered September!! And to celebrate our entry into the BER MONTHS, here’s a gourmet-feel Antipasto with a Filipino Twist!

Mango and Kesong Puti Bruschetta

Ingredients: 1 French baguette DVF Dairy Farm’s Kesong Puti Mangoes canned red bell pepper (pimiento) anchovies Butter Olive oil Pepper Garlic Parmesan cheese Fresh Basil leaves Procedure: 1. Brush the baguette with a mixture of olive oil and butter.  The olive oil makes the bread more crusty.   2. Then top with thin slices of DVF Dairy Farm’s Kesong Puti and chopped garlic  (about 4 cloves of garlic).  3. Chop the pimiento, mango, and anchovies.  Then place them on top of the baguette as you would with pizza toppings. Season with pepper.  Top with grated parmesan cheese. Add these to your taste --- anchovies make everything saltier. 4.  Bake in the oven at 175° C or 350° F for 10-12 minutes.  Though, an oven toaster will do the job very well too. 5.  After 10 to 12 minutes, take the bruschetta out of the oven.  Top with chopped fresh basil. This interesting explosion of flavors is best shared with friends (but we won’t take it against you if you wanna splurge on yourself ;) ) Tell us what you think! Source: Guzman, Ralph (2012, May).

Drop your favourite tsokolate tablea in a tsokolatera with 1/2 cup water. 2. Place the tsokolatera over medium heat and boil. Allow the tsokolate tablea to melt. 3. When the mixture is already boiling, turn the heat to low and start stirring. 4. The tsokolatera is rubbed vigorously between the palms of the hand to foam the chocolate mix. Stir for a good 2 minutes. 5. Add condensed milk to sweeten. 6. For a healthier, delicious, and rich variation, add about 1/3 cup of DVF Dairy Farm's Fresh Gatas ng Kalabaw and brown sugar to taste. 7.
