Roasted Pumpkin and Sweet Potato Soup...a great Halloween food recipe to try !

Ingredients:

* 1 sugar pumpkin, approximately 1-2 pounds
* 1 medium sweet potato
* 2 1/2 cups chicken stock
* 2 shallots, diced
* 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
* 1 teaspoon curry powder
* 1 teaspoon turmeric
* 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
* 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

INSTRUCTIONS:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Slice pumpkin in half and remove the seeds and strings. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste, and wrap in aluminum foil. Use a fork to create vent holes all around the sweet potato. Wrap the sweet potato in foil and place with the pumpkin on a foil-lined baking sheet. Roast for one hour and ten minutes, or until both the pumpkin and the sweet potato are tender enough to pierce easily with a fork. Remove the pumpkin and sweet potato from the oven and allow to cool.

Remove the skin from the shallots and dice them finely. Heat the vegetable oil in a saute pan over a medium flame. "Sweat" the shallots by covering with foil and then topping the pan with a
close-fitting lid. After 1-2 minutes, remove the cover and foil, and add the curry powder. Saute for an additional minute, then remove from heat. Scoop the flesh from both the pumpkin and the sweet potato and place in a food processor. Add the curried shallots, the remaining spices, and one cup of the chicken stock. Puree until smooth. Thin with the remaining chicken stock until the desired consistency is reached. Serve hot, garnished with chervil, if desired. The Halloween food is ready to serve...enjoy the halloween party !

HALLOWEEN FUNNEL CAKES

2009-01-01T02:01:00.000-08:00

HALLOWEEN FUNNEL CAKES ....a great halloween food recipe to try !

INGREDIENTS

2 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 cups milk
2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
few drops vanilla (optional)
powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar (for sprinkling)
large funnel
about 2 cups vegetable oil (for deep frying)

INSTRUCTIONS
Stir together flour, baking powder and salt. In a medium bowl, beat eggs and stir in milk until well combined.
Add flour mixture to egg mixture and whisk together until smooth.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep, heavy bottomed pan (cast iron works well).
When oil is very hot (about 375F) pour the batter through the funnel to form a steady stream; fry about 3 minutes or until golden brown, turning once, then for another minute or until equally browned on both sides. Remove using a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, cinnamon sugar or for Halloween treats, drizzle with orange icing. Serve accompanied with syrup, if desired.

Tip: Fry the funnel cakes in batches (about 4). It helps to use a frying thermometer, but if you don't have one, test the oil temperature by cutting a 1 inch square piece of bread and dropping it into the hot oil. It should brown in 1 minute; if it browns more quickly, turn the heat down. If it takes longer than 1 minute to brown, turn the temperature up very slightly and try this test again in 5 minutes.

An easy method of dusting the cakes: toss into clean brown paper bags into which has been added a few tablespoons of sugar, then shake to coat. Small lunch bags are great for individual servings and for Halloween treats. The halloween food is ready to serve...nice one !
