Texas Dulce De Leche, Caramelized Milk Pudding
4 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
3/4 cup all-purpose flour (I sifted it)
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
3/4 cup Dulce de Leche Cream
3/4 cup unsweetened coconut milk
1 cup whole milk
2 tablespoons toasted slivered almonds, for garnish
Preheat oven to 300°F and generously butter 8- inch cake pan. Beat eggs and sugar until thick and pale in color. Fold the flour into the egg mixture in 3 batches, adding the melted butter with the last batch. Spread batter into prepared pan and bake for 30 minutes, or until golden brown. Set the cake aside to cool on a wire rack.
In a small saucepan, combine Dulce de Leche Cream, coconut milk, and whole milk and bring to a boil. Set aside to cool slightly.Cut the sponge cake into 1" inch cubes and divide them among 6 ramekins. Pour the warm Dulce de Leche Cream over the sponge cubes in each ramekin. Garnish each serving with a teaspoon of toasted almonds on top. Refrigerate for two hours and serve chilled.
Clam Rice
Rinse the clams in hot water. Then, rinse them several times, under strong running water if possible, to wash all the sand out.
Heat the oil and saute the finely chopped onion, the crushed garlic, the pepper and the parsley.
Add the tomato sauce, the salt and the clams (don't stir excessively to avoid breaking the shells). It is better to shake the pot instead.
Add the stock and the wine. Bring to a boil and then stir in the rice and the spices lightly browned and crushed.
Let it boil, covered, over high heat until the rice grains begin to open, then lower the heat and allow it to simmer until the rice is tender.
Stuffed Red Snapper
Cooking instructions:
Gut the red snapper. Cut it open to remove the spine. Season it with crushed garlic, salt, pepper and lemon juice. Cover with onion rings and peppers. Marinate for 2 hours. Boil the shrimps and the lobsters. Ground the seafood with the ham. Saute the chopped onion in hot butter. Add the seafood and ground ham. Stir fry for a few minutes. Add the remaining stuffing ingredients and stir to prevent from sticking. Set it aside.
Stuff the red snapper and secure it with toothpicks. Place it on a well greased baking pan over a potato bed. Cover with the onion rings and the pepper left over from the marinade. Bake at 375ºF for about 1 ½ hour. While you are roasting it, baste frequently with butter or oil.
