PLUOT CLAFOUTIS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray down a 24-cup mini muffin tin with cooking spray.
• Add a single piece of pluot to each of the 24 cups in the tin. Combine the melted butter, eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla, half-and-half, flour and salt in a bowl and whisk until smooth. Transfer the batter to a spouted measuring cup and, working from the center of the tin outward, fill the cups to just below the brim. Bake until the clafoutis are beginning to brown, 25 to 30 minutes. They will puff above the cups but deflate once cooled.
• Allow to cool, then pop them out, dust with confectioners' sugar and sprinkle with lime zest.

FABULOUS WET BURRITOS

Steps:

• Crumble ground beef into a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir until evenly browned. Add onion, and cook until translucent. Drain grease, and season with garlic, cumin, salt and pepper. Stir in the green chilies and refried beans until well blended. Turn off heat, but keep warm.
• In a saucepan, combine the chili without beans, tomato soup and enchilada sauce. Mix well, and cook over medium heat until heated through. Turn off heat and keep warm.
• Place a warmed tortilla on a plate, and spoon a generous 1/2 cup of the ground beef mixture onto the center. Top with lettuce and tomato to your liking. Roll up tortilla over the filling. Spoon a generous amount of the sauce over the top, and sprinkle with cheese and green onions. Heat in the microwave for 30 seconds, or until cheese is melted. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

CLAMS CASINO MAZEMEN

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, add the bacon and cook over medium-high heat until the bacon begins to brown, a couple of minutes. Add the garlic, shallots and ginger and cook, stirring occasionally, until the shallots have softened, about 5 minutes.
• Use a slotted spoon to transfer half of the bacon mixture to a medium bowl. Add the breadcrumbs and Parmesan to this same bowl. Stir to combine and set aside to use as topping later.
• Add the stock and wine to the saute pan with the remaining bacon mixture to deglaze, scraping up any cooked bits stuck to the bottom. Add the clams, then cover and cook until the clams begin to open, about 10 minutes. Push the clams to one side and add the ramen noodles, then cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 3 minutes.
• Turn the broiler on.
• Pour the saucepan components into a 14-inch cast-iron pan and sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the top. Broil until the breadcrumbs are golden brown, about 5 minutes. Serve sprinkled with basil and red pepper flakes, if desired.
