1 . Stage
Melt the butter in a stock pot over medium heat. Stir in the onion, carrots, celery, garlic, and parsley; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, tomato sauce, coffee, water, sugar, salt, and pepper. Bring the soup to a boil and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes.
2 . Stage
Pour the hot soup into a blender, filling the pitcher no more than halfway full. Hold down the lid of the blender with a folded kitchen towel, and carefully start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get the soup moving before leaving it on to puree. Puree in batches until smooth and pour into a clean pot. Stir in the cream and heat until warm. Do not boil. France C
1 . Mix all the ingredients and stir well with a whisk.

3 . Remove the weight and transfer the cooked cheese to a container that can be closed. Store for no more than a week in the refrigerator.
1 . Combine rhubarb, water, sugar, lemon zest, ginger, and a heavy pinch of salt in an uncovered, medium, heavy-based saucepan; bring to a boil.
2 . Reduce heat, cover, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until rhubarb begins to disintegrate, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool to room temperature, at least 30 minutes.
3 . Pour cooled liquid into a blender and process until thoroughly pureed. Transfer to a container, cover, and place in the refrigerator to chill, at least 4 hours. Then transfer the chilled mixture to the freezer for 30 minutes.
4 . Pour mixture into the blender and blend until color is consistent throughout, about 1 minute.
5 . Pour mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer's instructions for sorbet, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer to an airtight container and freeze until firm, about 4 hours.
1 . Spray a 2 1/2-quart casserole dish with cooking spray. Mince shallots until you have 3 tablespoons; slice remaining shallots into 1/8-inch rounds. Set both aside.
2 . Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add beans and cook until tender but still crisp, about 4 minutes. Drain, rinse, and pat dry; set aside.
3 . Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring frequently, until browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Add minced shallots and cook until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in 3 tablespoons flour, then slowly add half-and-half, broth, and soy sauce. Bring to a boil while stirring.
4 . Reduce heat to a simmer and stir until thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in green beans and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to the prepared casserole dish, cover, and refrigerate 8 hours to overnight, or until ready to bake.
5 . Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
6 . Remove casserole from the refrigerator and bake in the preheated oven until heated through and bubbly, about 30 minutes.
7 . While the casserole is baking, dredge shallot rings in remaining flour until evenly coated.
8 . Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Lower shallots carefully into the hot oil, working in batches if necessary. Fry until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes, then drain on paper towels.
9 . Remove casserole from the oven and top with fried shallots.

1 . Prepare all the ingredients. Greens and tomatoes are washed and dried, eggs are boiled, salami I have sliced ready. Slice the loaf.
2 . Cut circles out of the loaf using a mold or shot glass. Dry fry in a dry pan until crispy. In the cream cheese add finely chopped dill and basil, salt and pepper to taste and mix. From the cherry tomatoes you need to cut off the bottom and clean out the pulp. Stuff the tomatoes with the cheese.
3 . Cut the eggs into 6-8 pieces, depending on the size of the salami. And cut the olives in half.
4 . Take a slice of salami and wrap it around a piece of egg. Cover the stuffed tomato with half of the olive and fasten it with a skewer. Assemble the canapés: use a skewer to fasten the tomato and olive to the salami and the egg and place everything on a toasted slice of loaf.
5 . That's the kind of canapés you get!
