The Cook and Kitchen Staff are proud to continue to offer you a sampling
of recipes from the Young Family Reunion Recipe Collection, as
unofficially published in a small cookbook entitled "Forever
Young."
Today's recipe is an easy to-prepare-candy that may be utilized
year-round. It's perfect to serve at casual social gatherings or as a
stand-alone dessert, or to offer at a bake sale. Break it up into small
pieces and it's a perfect topping for a dish of ice cream. Try it out
tonight; you've probably got all the ingredients in your refrigerator
and pantry!
Sprinkle walnuts in the bottom of a 9-inch round cake or pie tin.
Combine sugar and butter in a 1 1/2 quart saucepan. Cook and stir over
medium heat until attaining a 290-F degree temperate on a candy
thermometer. Make sure to stir your toffee constantly while melting the
brown sugar and butter.
Remove the melted toffee from the heat source and cool slightly for
about 5 minutes. Pour the mixture over the top of the walnuts in the
round pan and spread out in an even layer. Immediately sprinkle the top
with the chocolate chips. Let them melt from the heat of the toffee,
then gently spread the melted chocolate over the top of the hardening
candy.
If desired, sprinkle a few more chopped or ground walnuts on top of the
chocolate while it's still soft and warm. Cool at room temperature until
hard, at least 2 hours, then break into pieces and store in an airtight
container.

5. ESPESADO DE LUNES
Beef Stew
Editor's Note: This recipe and introductory text are
excerpted from The Exotic Kitchens of Peru, by Copeland Marks.
We've also added some tips of our own below.
For a complete guide to Peruvian cuisine, click
here.
This is a special dish that is only prepared on Mondays. My teacher told
me that everyone she knew cooked Espesado on Mondays, a ritual
that is universally accepted. In the clean and complete Central Market
of Chiclayo, a number of the small eating shops were dispensing this to
diners who knew what they wanted and expected it on Mondays.
The Mush
2 pounds fresh or frozen corn kernels (choclo)
1/2 cup Zapallo or butternut squash, cut into 1/4-inch dice
6 sprigs fresh cilantro, sliced
6 garlic cloves, sliced
1 small onion, sliced (1/4 cup)
2/3 cup water
The Meat
4 cups (1 quart) water
2 pounds boneless beef brisket or chuck, cut into 16 pieces
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/2 pound yuca, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch dice
1/2 pound shelled fresh fava beans (optional, but traditional)
1. To make the mush: Process all the ingredients together in a food
processor into a fine paste or mush. Set aside.
2. To prepare the meat: bring the water to a boil in a large pan. Add
the beef, salt, yuca, and fava beans (if used) and simmer, covered, over
low heat until the meat is tender, about 45 minutes.
3. Add the mush, mix well, and cook for 15 to 20 minutes. (This results
in a thick and substantial dish, perhaps even too thick, in which case
1/2 to 1 cup water may be added.) Mix well and adjust the salt to taste.
Serve warm, with a side dish of Ceviche.
Note: The original type of squash added to this dish is known
locally in Chiclayo as loche. It is long, about 14 inches,
knobby, and unattractive-looking and is seen in the markets there, but
nowhere else, to my experience. The Chiclayanos swear by it as being
indispensable to espesado, but in my opinion this has more to do
with chauvinism than with culinary excellence.
Extra! Tips from Epicurious:
• This recipe is from the region of Chiclayo in northern
Peru. The use of corn, squash, and beans reflects some of the
country’s earliest food exchanges, when those ingredients were brought
down from Central America and became important staples.
• Zapallo is the Peruvian name for calabaza, a large, round,
pumpkinlike squash. Wedges of calabaza are sold at Latin and Caribbean
markets, but butternut is equally good here.
Serves 8.
