1/3 cup mozzarella cheese
Small White onion

You can’t have a good bowl of onion soup without a healthy layer of baked Jarlsberg cheese on top, but before you can get to that point, you have to ensure that the soup itself is decadent and flavorful.  At Morton’s The Steakhouse, they use five different types of onion and home-made croutons and of course, Jarlsberg cheese, to achieve the most delicious onion soup you’ll ever taste!

The secret to Morton’s Five-Onion soup uses a combination of Spanish and red onions, leeks, shallots and garlic to create a truly savory soup that is a perfect starter for any fall feast! And, with the purchase of Morton’s newly released second cookbook, Morton’s The Cookbook, you can even make their legendary Five-Onion Soup at home!

Morton’s Five-Onion Soup Recipe

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 1/4 pounds Spanish onions (about 2 large), thinly sliced
1 large red onion, thinly sliced
1 small leek, halved, thinly sliced, and well rinsed
3 to 4 shallots, thinly sliced
1/2 cup minced garlic (about 20 cloves)
5 tablespoons dry sherry
1/4 cup Madeira wine
1 1/2 teaspoons beef base
1 1/2 teaspoons chicken base
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
3/4 teaspoon herbs de Provence
1 small bay leaf
1 3/4 quarts (7 cups) reconstituted store-bought demi-glace, or beef broth
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
Croutons (See recipe below)
1 1/4 pounds Swiss or Jarlsberg cheese, grates or shredded
Chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, for serving

In a deep stockpot, heat the olive oil over medium-low heat.  Add both types of onions, the leeks, shallots, and garlic and cook very slowly, loosely covered, for 30 to 35 minutes or until the onions release their juices, are very soft and syrupy, and are lightly browned.
Add the sherry, Madeira, beef and chicken base, thyme, herbes de Provence, and bay leaf.  Raise the heat to medium and bring to a simmer.  Simmer 4 to 5 minutes to cook off the alcohol.
Stir in the demi-glace and bring to a boil.  Lower the heat and simmer, partially covered, for about 20 minutes.
Preheat the broiler.

Remove the bay leaf, adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, and ladle the soup into 10 broiler-safe soup crocks.  Lay 2 croutons on top of each bowl of soup and sprinkle the cheese over the croutons.  The cheese should cover both the crouton and the soup.
Working in batches, broil the soup crocks 2 to 3 inches from the heat source for about 2 minutes, or until the cheese browns and the soup bubblesx around the sides.  Use heavy oven mitts to handle the crocks and take great care removing the crocks from the broiler.  Garnish each bowl with parsley and serve soup immediately.

Croutons for Five-Onion Soup
Makes 20 to 25 Croutons

One 18- to 20-inch-long baguette or 4 Portugese or Milano rolls

Preheat the oven to 450°F.
Cut the bread on the diagonal into croutons that measure about 2 1/2 inches long, 1 1/2 inches wide, and 1/2 inch thick.  Spread the croutons on a baking sheet and bake for 4 to 6 minutes or until golden brown.  Turn and bake for 4 to 6 minutes on the other side, or until golden brown.
Remove from the oven, slide the croutons onto a cool pan or rack and let cool.  Use right away or store in a lidded container for up to 3 days.

Francesca’s Restaurants Chef Shares His Eggplant Secrets

When it comes to well-rounded Italian menus, good eggplant is a must. But making the perfect eggplant requires skill and a few tricks of the trade – fortunately, Chef Massimo of Francesca’s Restaurants has expert tips for any chef.

“The main thing to remember is that eggplant is extremely absorbent, so you must be careful when it comes to the sautéing; use only a small amount of extra virgin olive oil,” says Francesca’s Restaurants Corporate Chef Massimo Salatino. “I prefer to cook eggplant in the Sicilian-style where you sauté only lightly and then bake the eggplant in the oven at 400 degrees for about 12 to 15 minutes.”

There are dozens of ways to serve your finished product. One of Chef Massimo’s favorite ways to serve eggplant is in a salad with aged balsamic vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, arugula, beefsteak tomatoes, grilled onions and fresh crumbled blue cheese. The dish is so popular that it was added to the Francesca’s Restaurants menu, called Insalata Massimo.

Chef Massimo learned this style of cooking from his days in working at Il Passatore (The Traveler), a small pizzeria on the Lake of Varese in Italy’s Lombardy region. You won’t find a stove in a classic Italian pizza restaurant, so chefs find themselves using the oven.

About Francesca’s Restaurants: Since 1992, the family of Francesca’s Restaurants has grown from a single location on North Clark Street to 19 locations throughout Chicagoland. With a focus on exceptional service and quality ingredients, Francesca’s consistently changes the menu to offer the freshest, seasonal rustic Italian dishes. Touted as casual dining in a sophisticated, trattoria ambiance, each individual Francesca’s restaurant has become ingrained in their community, and tailor both their menu and special events such as exquisite wine dinners to match the tastes and energy of their guests. The consistency is in the amazing food, great service and even better prices. For more information, please visit www.miafrancesca.com.

Grilling the Perfect Italian Steak is an easy and great way to enhance your Labor Day Holiday. Chef Abraham Aguirre, from Grotto Italian Steakhouse in Oak Brook has tips on how to prepare this succulent dish.

Chef Abraham suggests preparing a Porterhouse Steak which lets you enjoy the filet and the strip at the same time, however an individual ribeye, filet, or sirloin would be just as delicious. Also, the freshest ingredients you use the better the flavor.

Combine The Following Spices:

• Salt and Pepper (Sea Salt) is recommended for a lighter and sweater salt.
• Chives
• Basil
• Thyme
• Rosemary
• Italian Leaf Parsley
• Fresh Garlic

*To add more of a spicy flair add a few flakes of crushed red pepper to your marinade*

• Mix the spices with Extra Virgin Olive Oil to form a pesto like substance.
• Spread the sauce over the steak and let it marinade for a few hours.
• Make sure that the grill is anywhere from 600-800°F and keep it at that temperature for 30-45 minutes before starting to grill. High direct heat when grilling steaks is almost as important as the meat itself.
• Grill over medium heat for five to eight minutes, and top it off over two to three minutes over high heat.

*When grilling steaks, one should always use tongs or a spatula to turn a steak over*

Serve with a side of vegetables such as grilled asparagus, or a baked potato, and of course a glass of red wine will make you feel as though you are in Florence indulging in the Perfect Italian Steak.

INGREDIENTS

PASTRY:

1 cup milk
1/4 cup butter
2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
2/3 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
1/2 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
5 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

FILLING:
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
2/3 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup melted butter

FROSTING:
1 cup confectioners’ sugar
1 tablespoon water

DIRECTIONS

1. Scald milk, remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup of butter. Allow mixture to cool to room temperature. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in the warm water with 1 tablespoon of the white sugar. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
2. When yeast mixture is bubbling, add the cooled milk mixture. Whisk in the eggs. Stir in the remaining white sugar, salt and nutmeg. Beat the flour into the milk/egg mixture 1 cup at a time. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes.
3. Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 2 hours. When risen, punch down and divide dough in half.
4. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease 2 cookie sheets or line with parchment paper.
5. To Make Filling: Combine the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, chopped pecans, 1/2 cup flour and 1/2 cup raisins. Pour 1/2 cup melted butter over the cinnamon mixture and mix until crumbly.
6. Roll dough halves out into large rectangles (approximately 10×16 inches or so). Sprinkle the filling evenly over the dough and roll up each half tightly like a jelly roll, beginning at the wide side. Bring the ends of each roll together to form 2 oval shaped rings. Place each ring on a prepared cookie sheet. With scissors make cuts 1/3 of the way through the rings at 1 inch intervals. Let rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 45 minutes.
7. Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes. Push the doll into the bottom of the cake. Frost while warm with the confectioners’ sugar blended with 1 to 2 tablespoons of water.
