MARTHA STEWART'S CA. 1995 BEST LEMON CURD
When Martha Stewart first published this recipe in her Martha Stewart Living Magazine in 1995, she had an entire article explaining the "where's/how's/and what not to do's" with regards to lemon curd. I had only ever purchased lemon curd prior to this recipe, and wasn't impressed with it. Too thick, too tart and short shelf life for the very high price. THIS recipe changed my mind: soft, teasingly tart, the ability to make it tarter or softer in flavour all had me saying "THIS IS THE WORLD'S BEST LEMON CURD!!!" I've never tried another recipe since, even Martha's "New & Improved" curd recipes, where she seems to have forgotten what she taught us fans of hers, so many years ago. According to the article, the reasons why THIS curd recipe is so superior is the following:1) Beating the egg yolks until rich yellow and then straining the first time creates a smooth, albumen-free base. 2) Cooking the mixture WITHOUT the zest creates a "softer", less bitter curd. Cooked zest just becomes more bitter, even without the white pith. 3) A second straining removes any possibility of "scrambled eggs" from your curd! 4) Adding the chilled butter, cut into pieces, to the eggs does two things: it rapidly cools down the curd so it doesn't continue to cook and also the buttery flavour is not changed by cooking with the yolks! 5) Adding the zest after the curd is cooled creates a smooth, flavourful but not bitter curd! Are these steps too many for some people? Oh, I'm sure of it, especially the straining steps. And some curd recipes have you dump everything together in the pan so that sure makes it simple. However, after 15 years of making this one curd recipe, I've found the little bit of extra time involved in creating it makes for a superiour end product. NOTE: If you do not want a dense, eggy Lemon Curd, use WHOLE EGGS for the recipe, rather than egg yolks. That would be four whole eggs to the six egg yolks.

Steps:
- Beat the egg yolks until well blended and lemon yellow in colour. Strain the egg yolks through a sieve into a medium-size heavy saucepan. (Sieving removes any shells or albumen; heavy saucpan prevents curdling.).
- Add the sugar and lemon juice, stir to combine, and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, for about 10-15 minutes. DO NOT HURRY THE PROCESS OR THE EGGS WILL CURDLE!
- Cook until the mixture coats the back of a wooden spoon. Remove from heat and immediately pour through another sieve to catch any "scrambled egg bits". Pour into a heat proof 4 cup measuring cup and stir in the cold butter pieces, which cools down the mixture quickly.
- Add the rind, continue stirring until well-blended.
- Transfer to whatever storage container you want: either a large one or several samll ones.
- Shelf Life: MUST BE REFRIGERATED! Keeps 2 weeks.
- Variations:.
- Lime Curd: substitute lime juice and increase grated lime peel to 2 tablespoons.
- Orange Curd: Use orange juice, decrease sugar to 2/3 cup. 1 tablespoon orange peel.
- Grapefruit Curd: Use grapefruit juice, same sugar and zest as lemon curd.

GREEK LEMON ROASTED POTATOES, MARTHA STEWART
This is a fantastic and different way to roast potatoes. It's great with grilled or roasted chicken and was featured in Martha Stewart Living with trout. From Martha's magazine: "Oregano is Greek for "joy of the mountain." Greek oregano has a more mild flavor than the Mexican variety usually found in the spice aisle of your supermarket. Look for Greek oregano at Italian or Greek markets." (Or you can order it from www.penzeys.com, a wonderful herb and spice shop.) Enjoy!

Steps:
- Let the butter and chicken stand at room temperature for 3o minutes or so.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Remove and discard any giblets, excess fat, and plastic pop-up timer, if there is one.
- To prevent burning, tuck the chicken's wing tips under the body.
- Season the cavity of the chicken, liberally, with salt and pepper.
- Roll the lemon back and forth on the counter to get the juices going. Pierce the entire surface of the lemon with the fork.
- Smash up the garlic cloves- the side of a knife does this well.
- Insert lemon, garlic and thyme into the cavity of the bird.
- Arrange the onion slices in the center of a heavy-duty roasting pan. (Arranging the onions in overlapping rows works great) Place the chicken on top with the breast side up. Tie the chicken legs together with kitchen twine.
- Spread the softened butter over the entire surface of the chicken. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Roast the chicken until skin is crisp and the skin is a nice golden brown. The juices should run clear when the chicken is pierced with a fork- about 1 1/2 hours. The chicken will be cooked perfectly when an instant-read thermometer (inserted into the breast- then thigh) will read 165 degrees.
- Garnish with sprigs of thyme.
