MAK Sundae and Apple Tart w/ Bourbon Caramel Sauce
So, this morning I said to my husband – Susan is coming over, we are going for a walk with the dogs and then we are going to play with food…. I don’t think he believed me………….. backstory......back in the fall I was looking at a CT turkey farm website , they have a café and the Gobbler Sundae caught my eye. I sent Susan a link and she wrote back that I needed to do it as a contest entry with Thanksgiving leftovers……….that didn’t happen…… I was talking with her the other day and I told her I had no idea what I was cooking this weekend…….. she said “gobbler sundae” , She's been waiting patiently, she knew I'd invite her over when I finally made it ....... so here is my take on it...... the MAK Sundae!
Yesterday I spatchcocked an 11 lb turkey, rubbed it all down with a paste I made in the food processor – shallots, garlic, thyme, sage, parsley, salt, pepper, olive oil…… to the top rack of the MAk……
This morning I threw all the bones into a pot with some carrots, celery, onions, , garlic, thyme, sage, parsley, salt, pepper for stock to use as a base for gravy. While that was getting happy made some mashed potatoes, took some cran-blueberry sauce out of the freezer………
Then we made a sundae……… mashed potato, turkey , gravy & cran-blueberry sauce
Apple tart – I made a Bourbon caramel sauce – butter & brown sugar into a pan, cook until sugar dissolved, add some cream and then some bourbon – easy, easy & tasty
Made a cream cheese pastry dough and rolled into a circle, spread a layer of the bourbon sauce, sliced up some apples, sprinkled on some cinnamon , then more of the bourbon sauce. Crunched up the sides into a free form tart and into the MAK
Plated with more Bourbon Caramel Sauce and some whipped Cream and some brittle (some of the sauce escaped while cooking and became bourbon caramel brittle, yum)
Enjoy
P.S. to the SEGA smokeout people - this sauce will be served with the cheesecake
