Best Tomato Cheddar Rarebit Recipes

TOMATO CHEDDAR RAREBIT

Steps:

• Melt butter in large heavy casserole or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion and cook 3 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and cook gently, breaking up tomatoes, about 5 minutes. Let stand until about 15 minutes before serving.
• Add beer to tomato mixture and heat to simmering. Reduce heat to maintain slow simmer, then stir in cheese 1 handful at a time, adding next handful when first is almost completely melted. (Do not allow to boil.).
• Stir in mustard, Worcestershire, pepper sauce, and ground pepper. Mix cornstarch and the cold water until completely smooth; add to rarebit and cook, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Spoon over Whole-Wheat Biscuit Triangles.

RAREBIT SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large sauce pot, bring the beer and milk to a simmer (180 degrees F).
• While you are bringing the milk and beer to a simmer, in a separate sauce pot, melt the butter and bacon fat. Once melted, add the onions and sweat until translucent. Add the flour to make the roux, making sure you stir continually so it gets nice and toasty, but doesn't burn to the bottom of the pot. De-glaze the pan with the mustard, Worcestershire sauce, white wine vinegar and thyme. By this time, the milk and beer should be ready to add to the roux. Add slowly, continually stirring to break up chunks and emulsify the mixture. Bring the mixture up to 185 degrees F and remove from the heat. Add the Irish Cheddar, blue cheese and salt and blend with an immersion blender (if you don't have an immersion blender, add the cheese while the mixture is still hot and whisk vigorously with a whisk to fully incorporate).

TOMATO WELSH RAREBIT

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat, then whisk in the flour to form a thick paste. Slowly whisk in the milk until the mixture resembles a thick sauce. Stir in the tomato soup, Cheddar cheese, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and paprika until heated through, about 10 minutes. Add more milk if the soup becomes too thick.

TOMATO RICE WITH CRISPY CHEDDAR

Steps:

• Adjust an oven rack to the highest position and heat the oven to 500 degrees.
• In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium-high. When the oil begins to shimmer, add the onion and chile, spread them out in an even layer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes translucent and starts to lightly char, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Increase the heat to high and add the tomatoes, using the back of a wooden spoon to lightly crush them. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes break down into a chunky sauce, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the salt and remove from heat.
• Stir in the cooked rice and transfer to an 8-inch square (or similar size) baking dish. Sprinkle the grated cheese on top in an even layer.
• Switch the oven to broil and place the baking dish on the oven rack closest to the broiler. Broil until the top bubbles and turns golden brown, about 3 minutes. Serve immediately.

REAL WELSH RAREBIT

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat; blend in the flour, salt, pepper, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and hot pepper sauce; continue cooking and stirring until the mixture is smooth and bubbly, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; gradually stir in the milk; return to heat and stir continually until the mixture comes to a boil. Slowly pour in the beer; cook 1 minute more while still stirring. Melt the Cheddar cheese into the mixture in small portions until completely incorporated. Remove from heat.

WELSH RABBIT WITH TOMATO

Steps:

• In a saucepan combine the butter and the flour and cook the roux over low heat, stirring, for 3 minutes. Whisk in the beer and the tomatoes and boil the mixture, whisking, for 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to moderately low, stir in the Cheddar, the mustard, the Worcestershire sauce, and the Tabasco, and cook the mixture, stirring, until it is hot (but do not let it boil). Arrange 3 of the toasts or 2 of the muffin halves on each of 6 plates and spoon the Cheddar mixture on top. Garnish the Welsh rabbit with the parsley and serve it with the bacon.

CLASSIC CHEESE RAREBIT

Steps:

• Place cheese, beer, butter and seasonings in saucepan; cook on low heat until cheese is completely melted, stirring occasionally.
• Beat egg lightly with fork in small bowl. Remove small amount of cheese sauce from saucepan. Add to egg; mix until well blended. Add to remaining cheese sauce in saucepan; stir until well blended. Cook until thickened, stirring frequently.
• Place 2 toast triangles on each serving plate. Top evenly with cheese sauce just before serving.

SMOKED FISH & CHERRY TOMATO RAREBIT

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to fan 170C/ conventional 190C/gas 5. To make the rarebit sauce, melt the butter in a heavybased saucepan and stir in the flour and Worcestershire sauce. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat and slowly whisk in the milk until combined. Return to the heat and slowly bring to the boil, stirring or whisking constantly. Simmer for 2 minutes then mix in the grated cheese and mustard, season well with salt and pepper and set aside.
• For the fish, melt a third of the butter in a large non-stick frying pan, add the garlic and cook until just coloured. Immediately add the tomatoes and toss them with the garlic butter, cooking just enough to heat through. Tip the mixture into the base of a shallow baking dish (a rectangular 28 x 22cm dish is ideal), and spread in an even layer. Melt half the remaining butter in the frying pan and add some of the spinach, cook over a high heat until wilted then tip into a colander. Repeat with the remaining butter and spinach, then press the spinach to drain off any excess liquid, season with salt, pepper and the nutmeg and arrange to cover the tomato layer. Then cover with the fish fillets.
• Heat the rarebit sauce and spoon evenly over the fish, spreading it with the back of a spoon so the fish is completely covered, then sprinkle over the grated cheese. (The dish may now be frozen for up to 1 month. To cook, defrost in the microwave or overnight in the fridge and continue as stated adding an extra 10 minutes to the cooking time.) Bake in the oven for about 30 minutes or until brown and bubbling and the fish is cooked through (check by pushing a knife into the fish - the flesh should flake easily). You may like to finish off the rarebit under the grill to brown the top more. Serve straight from the dish.

TOMATO RAREBIT

Steps:

• Mix together the chopped tomatoes and the baking soda.
• In a saucepan, melt the butter, stir in flour, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
• Slowly pour in the warm milk and stir until smooth. (Mixture will be thick).
• Add the tomato/baking soda mixture, cheese, eggs, cayenne, and salt to taste.
• Cook over very low heat, stirring constantly, until cheese has melted and the mixture is smooth and blended.
• Spoon over the toast and serve hot.
