HUNGRY?

And can't make it to the park for a favorite? Here's how to make two DL classics at home - The BENGAL BBQ BEEF SKEWERS & the BLUE BAYOU'S MONTE CRISTO SANDWICH, and where you can buy those wonderful CURROS DL carries...

• BENGAL BARBECUE BEEF SKEWERS WITH KOREAN SAUCE:

  (Special thanks to TIGGER/KAT for this info.)

  Soy Sauce, 1 cup Water, 1 1/2 Cups Ground Black Pepper, 1 Tbs. Sesame Seed Oil, 3 Tbs. Ground Red Pepper, 1 Tsp. Cayenne Pepper, 1/2 Tsp. Granulated Garlic, 1 Tbs. Cornstarch, 3 Tbs. Sirloin Beef Chunks, 18 Pcs / 1 oz. ea. Bamboo Skewers, 6 ea.

  Combine all of the ingredients above and bring to a boil, adding cornstarch to thicken. Soak the bamboo skewers in water to avoid burning. Place 3 pieces of beef on each skewer and cook on the grill 3 minutes on each side or until desired doneness. Brush with sauce and serve. Yields 2 3/4 cups, 6 Portions

• BLUE BAYOU MONTE CRISTO SANDWICH:

  It's taken over a year of postings, but I finally have a winner chosen from the two recipes that were posted about this DL favorite.

  DWIGHT KLETTKE was kind enough to write and said it all: My family (3 votes) goes for Don Bertino's Monte Cristo Sandwich recipe. I would, however, increase the batter by roughly 50%. The amounts given don't produce enough in my kitchen to coat all the pieces sufficiently. (On the other hand, my daughter says she sort of prefers the crispy, oily, poorly coated pieces I get at the end of the batch...)

  DON BERTINO originally downloaded this recipe from the Mouse House BBS: (714) 535-3761. The Monte Cristo Sandwich is served with a fruit compote (a mixture of fresh and canned fruit) and currant jelly sauce. First prepare these two, them make the batter. While it is chilling, put together the sandwiches. When the sandwiches are fried, the complete service is ready.

  CURRANT JELLY SAUCE

  2/3 c. currant jelly, 1 Tbs. water, 1 Tbs. half and half

  Combine jelly, water and half and half in blender and mix until smooth. Makes about 3/4 cup.

  FRUIT COMPOTE

  Combine your favorite fresh and canned fruits and chill well. Plan about 1/2 cup per person.

  BATTER

  2/3 c. water, 1 small egg, 1/2 Tsp. salt, 1/8 Tsp. white pepper, 1/8 yellow food coloring, 2/3 cp. all-purpose flour, 1 3/4 tea. baking powder

  Place water, egg, salt, pepper and food coloring in a bowl and using an electric mixer, mix well at low speed. Add flour and baking powder and mix until batter is smooth. Chill. Makes enough for 4 sandwiches.

  SANDWICHES

  8 slices white bread, 4 slices turkey (1 oz. each), 4 slices swiss cheese, 4 slices Pullman ham

  Make 4 sandwiches, putting cheese between hand and turkey. Cut into fourths and put a toothpick through each quarter.

  FINAL PREPARATION

  Soybean or vegetable oil for frying, Confectioners' sugar, Fruit compote Currant jelly sauce

  Heat about 6-inches of oil to 340F in a fryer. Dip sandwiches in batter to cover all surfaces. Deep fry sandwiches until golden brown, turning as needed. Remove from oil, take out toothpicks, sprinkle sandwiches with confectioners' sugar. Serve with fruit compote and currant jelly sauce.

• MINT JULEPS:

  Stew writes: Al, Love the D-I-G. It just keeps getting bigger and better! To quote someone "Who Knew!" <vbg!>

  In any case, I thought I'd share a recipe. Since I don't get to Disneyland as often as I'd like (maybe once a year now if I am lucky), I sometimes long for some of the taste of DL (like a DL Mint Julep). Here's what I do:

  • 1 Quart Lemonade (Odwalla Fresh is the best!)
    1 Quart Limeade (again, I get Odwalla when in season)
    2 ounces Creme d'Menthe Syrup (available where coffee flavorings are sold -- I got mine at Costco)
    1 Liter Ginger Ale

  Fill glass with Ice. Pour Mint Julep into glass. Get a straw. 

  Now close your eyes and imagine being at The French Market, you hear the sounds of the DLRR ("Your attention please, the Disneyland Limited...."), the blast of the Mark Twain whistle, etc..... <sigh>. 

  Thanks Stew!

• WHERE CAN I GET CHURROS?:

  They're made by J&J SNACK FOODS, located in L.A. at (213) 581-0171. J&J says they are carried at Smart & Final and other various club stores. (The box itself says J&J Snack Foods.) If you can't find them, then give them a call, they may be able to locate a distributor in your area. (Special thanks to Endel - for posting this info.)
