Junior Chef Showdown Finalist Victor Chow’s Cheese4Change Recipes<\/h2>\n

Victor Chow was a finalist in Junior Chef Showdown Cheese4Change<\/a><\/strong> and wowed the judges with his gourmet dishes. Now he\u2019s created a stunning three-course holiday meal with a new focus: sustainability. More recipes<\/a><\/p>\n

Victor knows waste is at an all-time high this time of year, so he was inspired to create a complete holiday menu by a sustainable youth program he learned about at school called Cheese4Change. This program awards $500 to students and $5,000 to schools for sustainable recipes \u2013 and not surprisingly, Victor\u2019s menu was a winner.  Victor knows everyone can use cash, especially at this time of year, so he\u2019s encouraging everyone to enter by sharing his menu for inspiration.  All his ingredients met one or more of the following sustainable categories: local, low-to-no-waste, healthy, ecologically responsible, and fair and accessible.<\/p>\n

Victor <\/strong>Chow’s <\/strong>Cheese4Change Holiday Meal<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"Cheese4Change<\/p>\n

Appetizer \u2013 Crab Rangoon (Serves 4)<\/h4>\n

Ingredients<\/strong>
\n1 package of Wonton Wrappers (and a bowl of water on the side – used to make sides stick)
\n\u2154 cup Tre Stelle Mascarpone
\n\u2153 cup Tre Stelle Ricotta
\n1 cup Sustainable Crab Meat
\n2 tbsp. Finely Chopped Green Onions
\n1\u00bd tbsp Old Bay Seasoning
\nVegetable Oil (for shallow or deep-frying)
\n\u00bd Fresh Lemon
\nSalt and Pepper, to taste<\/p>\n

Directions<\/strong>
\nIn a large bowl, combine the Tre Stelle mascarpone, ricotta, and crab. Add Old Bay Seasoning, green onions, and salt and pepper to taste.<\/p>\n

Place a small spoonful of mixture in the middle of a wonton wrapper. Fold one corner to the opposite corner so there is one middle point and 4 corners. (Use water to make sides stick.) Repeat until there is a platter of crab Rangoon.<\/p>\n

In a pot of vegetable oil at 375F, fry the Rangoon. Be careful not to crowd the pot. Remove when they are golden brown (about 5 minutes).
\nSprinkle with salt and Old Bay seasoning, and top with chives. The option is to finish with freshly squeezed lemon juice over a plate of crab Rangoon.<\/p>\n

\"Cheese4Change<\/p>\n

Main Course – Double Cheese Zucchini Linguini with Broiled Lobster Tail (Serves 4)<\/h4>\n

Ingredients<\/strong>
\n\u00bd cup Tre Stelle Bocconcini, grated or very finely chopped (pat dry before grating, season with salt)
\n1 cup Tre Stelle Mascarpone
\n\u00bc cup Butter
\n1 Shallot, finely diced
\n240 grams of Linguini (about 4 servings)
\n2 Zucchinis, spiralized into noodle form
\n\u00bc cup Fresh Basil, finely chopped
\n1 clove Fresh Garlic, finely chopped or minced
\n4 Lobster Tails (pulled above shell, saddleback)
\n2 tbsp Butter
\n1 tsp Old Bay Seasoning or Paprika (optional)
\nSalt and Pepper to taste<\/p>\n

Directions<\/strong>
\nCook linguini in a pot of salted boiling water until slightly firm. (Pasta will finish cooking in the cheese sauce mixture.)<\/p>\n

While the pasta is boiling, start the pan with butter over medium heat. Melt butter until fine bubbles form. Add garlic and shallots and cook until softened, about three minutes. Be careful not to burn the garlic or the shallots.<\/p>\n

Add mascarpone to pan and stir until melted. Slowly add bocconcini to the pan while stirring to avoid clumping. Add chopped basil. Add salt and pepper to taste.<\/p>\n

Add linguini and spiralized zucchini to the pan. Toss evenly in the sauce over low\/medium heat. Add a small amount of pasta water if the mixture is too thick.<\/p>\n

Brush lobster tails with melted butter, and season lightly with salt. In a preheated 350F oven, broil the lobster tails for about 12 minutes (depending on the size of the lobster tails). Sprinkle with Old Bay Seasoning (or paprika) if desired.<\/p>\n

Plate pasta in a vertical pile and place the lobster tail on top of the pasta mound.<\/p>\n

\"Cheese4Change<\/p>\n

Dessert – Mascarpone Cream with Cookie Crumble and Cranberry Sauce (Serves 4)<\/h4>\n

Mascarpone Cream<\/strong>
\nIngredients<\/strong>
\n1 cup Tre Stelle Mascarpone
\n1 cup Whipping Cream
\n\u00bc cup Powdered Sugar
\n2 tsp. Lemon Zest (+1 tsp. for plating)
\n2 tsp. Vanilla Extract
\n1 Vanilla Bean, split open for seed<\/p>\n

Cookie Crumble<\/strong>
\nIngredients<\/strong>
\n\u00bd cup All Purpose Flour
\n3 tbsp. Butter (softened)
\n3 tbsp. Sugar
\n\u00bd tsp. Salt
\n\u2153 cup Milk (may not need all the milk)
\n1 tsp. Vanilla Extract
\n1 Vanilla Bean, split open for seed<\/p>\n

Directions for Cream<\/strong>
\nWhisk cream and powdered sugar together until soft peaks form, then gently fold in the Tre Stelle mascarpone, vanilla, and vanilla bean seed. Store in refrigerator until time to plate dessert.<\/p>\n

Directions for Cookie Crumble<\/strong>
\nCream softened butter and sugar with a mixer. Add flour and salt. Then add vanilla and vanilla bean seed, slowly pour in milk at small intervals and mix until it is enough for the batter to combine and not be runny or too liquidy.<\/p>\n

Pour batter onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven of 375F for about 7 minutes. Flip the batter over, chop into smaller pieces or use the round cookie cutter to cut out circles, and return the tray to the oven for another 7 minutes until slightly brown and crunchy.<\/p>\n

Remove from oven and let cool. Chop into smaller pieces if desired (depending on plating preference). Set it aside.<\/p>\n

Cranberry Sauce<\/strong>
\nIngredients<\/strong>
\n\u00bd cup Sugar
\n\u00bd cup Water
\n1 cup Fresh Cranberries<\/p>\n

Directions<\/strong>
\nBring water and sugar to a gentle boil. Add cranberries and stir frequently for 10-12 minutes. Cook the sauce down to desired consistency.<\/p>\n

For plating<\/strong>
\nOption 1 – Plate by placing cookie crumble on plate, add layer of mascarpone cream on top of cookie, layer with another cookie and mascarpone, finishing with mascarpone. Top with cranberry sauce and finish with lemon zest.<\/p>\n

Option 2 – Plate dessert like a parfait. In a glass, start with a layer of cookie crumble, then mascarpone cream, then cookie crumble, then mascarpone cream, then top with cranberry sauce, and lemon zest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
