TCP Salad
SALAD IN A GLASS
a. Find 4 small clear glasses you like, straight, parfait, or old-fashions.
b. Spoon a layer of chopped tomatoes into the bottom of each glass. If the glass is tiny, use gazpacho.
c. Pepper lightly.
d. Next, spoon a layer of Cloumage into each glass.
e. Then, spoon a layer of pesto into each glass.
f. Top with a frill of arugula.
CLOUMAGE and LEEK TART
a. Sauté 1 cup of sliced leeks in a Tbs. of unsalted butter on low heat, covered, until soft, about 15-20 mins.
b. Lightly whisk 1 egg, any size in a medium bowl.
Cloumage and Leek Tart
c. Mix the beaten egg with 16 oz of Cloumage.
d. Mix in the cooked leeks.
e. Pepper to taste. Do not salt.
f. Pour into and spread on prepared pie crust of your choice and bake according to pie crust instructions. (Typically, this is baked at 450 for 15-20 mins until crust is brown. Then cover crust edges with foil so they don’t burn and continue baking until filling has set up, usually another 10 minutes.)
I use a tart pan that has a push up bottom, sprayed well with cooking spray so I can de-pan the tart.This recipe works well with may ingredients besides leeks. Ex: spinach, ham, pears, apples.

CHEZ PASCAL’S CORN BISQUE with Hannahbells®
From MATT GENNUSO
Executive Chef of Chez Pascal
- 6 cups shucked corn, roughly 12 ears
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup onions, sliced
- 1/2 cup celery, sliced
- 1/2 cup fennel (sweet anise), sliced
- 1 tablespoon thyme, freshly chopped
- 2 russet potatoes, peeled and sliced thin
- 3 quarts chicken or vegetable stock
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 24 Shy Brothers’ Farm Hannahbells cheese (at room temperature)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Remove kernels from the corn and set aside. In a 6-quart saucepan, add butter over medium heat. Once fully melted, add sliced onions, celery and fennel. Season with a little salt and cover until all the vegetables become translucent. Then add the corn and once again cover and allow to cook very slowly until all the liquid has been released by the corn. Now add the thyme, potatoes and finally the stock. Bring just to the simmer point and then cook for 1 1/2 hours. Using a beverage blender, puree the soup to your desired consistency and finish with the heavy cream. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
For serving, place 3 Hannahbells in the center of a serving bowl and ladle the soup around the cheese, keeping them in the center. Garnish with fresh basil and olive oil if you like.
Yields 8 servings or 2 quarts

And from the famous Eva (Oct 13 2011) at Eva’s Garden
I chop up the herb I’m yearning for, like dill, for example. Instead of putting a little of it in Cloumage, I use a little Cloumage to bind the chopped herb and use it as a spread. It is amazing. Barbara, please tell people about this!

Katie is Karl’s cheese maker assistant, who’s turned out to be very talented, and so funny we howl– She’s also a great cook and uses Cloumage in many of her recipes to take care of her mom and 5 children!
Another Katie’s Request for a Feast of the Seven Fishes Dish (Holidays 2011)
Customer Katie asked us for a way to use Cloumage for her fish feast, and we remembered that Chef Jim Mercer was mixing it with lobster and smoked paprika. Katie asked Jim for details and this is what he said:
Hi Katie
All done to taste and preference:
Start with whatever amount of Lobster or crab …add enough Cloumage to coat generously …Smoked Paprika, salt and pepper to taste
Trust your judgment and you won’t go wrong.
Ah, these chefs make it all sound so easy! We’re going to try this Christmas Day…Jim says it’s divine.
CLOUMAGE and HONEY SAUCE from Chef Robert Wilkinson February 3, 2012
This sauce would be terrific with grilled chicken, sauteed shrimp or scallops, fish, and, we think, fruit salad–
11.7 to 12 oz Cloumage
3 TBS honey
6 oz fresh orange juice
1 oz fresh lemon juice
1 green onion, finely chopped
Blend all of the ingredients together and serve with fried or grilled chicken.
Thank you, Chef Robert!
