- WHY ROASTING VEGETABLES FOR SOUPS IS A GOOD IDEA?
WHY ROASTING VEGETABLES FOR SOUPS IS A GOOD IDEA? FAQ PAGE How What Why Do There are several reasons why roasting vegetables for soup makes sense: When vegetables are roasted, their natural sugars caramelize so they develop better flavor. Vegetables roasted in Convection retain more moisture which translates to better flavor. Most of us don’t have a soup pot large enough to accommodate a large quantity of vegetables so roasting vegetables for soup makes more sense. Best of all it’s easy to roast a tray of vegetables for soup while you are cooking other foods. Vegetables roasted using convection, bring out rich flavors and perfect textures and the right amount of humidity..

- A Culinary Delight: Convection Baked Sockeye Salmon
Wild sockeye salmon is lean and flavorful, but because it is low in fat, it can be tricky to cook without drying out. Fortunately, convection cooking is ideal for preserving moisture in food, making it easier to achieve great results. YOUR RECIPE FOR CONVECTION COOKING! Anchor 1 A Culinary Delight: Convection Baked Sockeye Salmon Convection Bake, Convection Roast Grilled salmon fillet topped with lemon slices and herbs, served with roasted vegetables. Wild sockeye salmon is lean and flavorful, but because it is low in fat, it can be tricky to cook without drying out. Fortunately, convection cooking is ideal for preserving moisture in food, making it easier to achieve great results. When salmon is cooked at high temperatures, a naturally occurring protein called albumin coagulates in white blobs on the surface of the cooked fish. It’s not the prettiest sight; however, the flavor of the fish is not adversely affected. One way to avoid this is to cook the salmon at a lower temperature. In order to cook a complete meal including seasonal vegetables, I find it’s best to cook the vegetables at a higher temperature first. Then, the oven temperature can be lowered to cook the salmon. If you prefer the flavor of salmon cooked at a high temperature, a smear of mayonnaise infused with lemon zest and herbs is an easy way to maintain moisture in the fish. I roasted a medley of baby carrots, asparagus, and spring onions to serve with the salmon, then added the salmon for the final 8 minutes of cooking time once I had lowered the oven temperature. To cool the oven quickly to cook the salmon at a low temperature, reduce the oven temperature and leave the oven door ajar for a few minutes before adding the salmon. Of course, if you have two ovens, you can set each one to the appropriate temperature. INGREDIENTS 1 filet of sockeye salmon, 1lb (454 g) 1 lemon, zested and cut into quarters ¼ tsp seasoning blend with garlic Olive or avocado spray oil ½ lb (227g) baby carrots, cut in half lengthwise ½ lb (227g) asparagus, trimmed 1 bunch spring onions, trimmed and cut in half lengthwise Recipe ingredients. PREPARATION Heat the oven in the Convection Bake or Convection Roast mode to 365°F / 185°C. Place the salmon on a rimmed baking tray lined with foil or sprayed with a bit of oil. Combine the lemon zest, seasoning, and oil with some salt and pepper and spread over the salmon. Set the salmon aside. Reserve the lemon quarters to serve with the cooked salmon. Coat the carrots and spring onions lightly with some oil and spread onto a rimmed baking sheet. Place in the oven and bake for 10 minutes. When the timer has elapsed, add the asparagus to the tray, turning to coat it with the oil in the pan. Then, cook for 5 minutes. When the 5-minute timer has elapsed, reduce the oven temperature to 365°F / 185°C. Add the salmon to the oven and cook for approximately 8 minutes until firm to the touch. Serves 2 Note: Any extra salmon combined with a salad is delicious. PRINT OUR RECIPE A Culinary Delight Convection Baked Sockeye Salmon .pdf Download PDF • 72KB WANT TO LEARN MORE?

- Italian Meatloaf with Sausage and Parmesan Cheese
The sausage, meat and parmesan can be prepare a day in advance. Sauteed onions, garlic and peppers will ensure better flavor. Convection or convection bake mode are ideal YOUR RECIPE FOR CONVECTION COOKING! Anchor 1 Italian Meatloaf with Sausage and Parmesan Cheese Convection (True Convection) or Convection Bake Mode A feast of sliced meatloaf, roasted potatoes with greens, and a vibrant fruit cobbler, all prepared with convection cooking to ensure distinct flavors without transference. This recipe begins with sauteing the onions, garlic and peppers then combining with the remaining ingredients. The meatloaf can be combined a day in advance of cooking and shaped into a log on a rimmed baking sheet or packed into a loaf pan. Successfully cooking a complete meal (Italian Style Meatloaf, Roasted Vegetables and Summer Fruit Shortcake Cobbler ) at one time requires planning but with a little orchestration it’s quite simple. Follow these steps for success. First arrange the oven racks to accommodate the different dishes. Preheat the oven in the Convection or Convection Bake mode 350 degrees. Ingredients Italian Style Meatloaf 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped 4 cloves garlic, minced 1 red pepper, seeds removed, finely chopped ½ tsp, mixed Italian seasoning 2 lbs ground beef OR 1 lb ground beef mixed with 1lb mild or spicy bulk Italian sausage 2 large eggs ½ cup breadcrumbs ½ cup fresh basil leaves, chopped ½ cup Italian parsley leaves, chopped 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese 2 tbsp Balsamic vinegar ½ tsp Kosher salt Freshly ground pepper to taste ½ cup ketchup or more to taste Roasted Potatoes with Peppers 2lbs small golden potatoes, washed, dried and cut into ½” thick slices 2 bell peppers, use different colors, halved, seeds removed and cut into 1” chunks 1 small red onion, peeled and cut into 1” chunks ½ tsp smoked Spanish paprika (mild or spicy) 2 tbsp olive oil Summer Fruit Shortcake Cobbler 6 medium nectarines or peaches, pits removed, cut into 2” chunks 2 cups fresh blueberries or blackberries ¼ cups sugar 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour Combine the fruit and sugar in a 9 x13 oven casserole dish and gently fold in the flour.

Sift into a large bowl 4 tbsp sugar 1 ½ tsp baking powder ½ tsp salt In another bowl whisk 1 cup chilled whipping cream 1 large egg 1 tsp vanilla extract Preparation Timing Meatloaf 40-45 minutes cooking time + 12 minutes resting time. Roasted Potatoes and peppers 25 - 30 minutes. Shortcake Cobbler 40 45 minutes. If using Convection Bake the Top and Bottom heating elements will be generating the heat while the fan circulates the heated air, so foods placed closer to the elements will receive more direct heat. Ideally, cook the meatloaf and vegetables on the lower rack and the cobbler on the upper rack. Italian Style Meatloaf This recipe begins with sauteing the onions, garlic and peppers then combining with the remaining ingredients. The meatloaf can be combined a day in advance of cooking and shaped into a log on a rimmed baking sheet or packed into a loaf pan. Heat a medium sized skillet over moderate heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the onion and sauté for a few minutes until it softens. Stir in the garlic, red pepper and seasoning and cook for 8 - 10 minutes until the peppers are soft and slightly charred on the edge. Set the vegetables aside to cool slightly before adding to the remainder of the ingredients. Combine the remainder of the ingredients in a large mixing bowl and gently fold in the cooked vegetables taking care not to overmix. Pack the meatloaf into a loaf pan or place on a rimmed baking sheet and shape into a tight uniform log. Spread the ketchup evenly over the top. Slide the tray onto the lower rack in the oven and set the timer for 40 minutes. The meatloaf should be firm to the touch and the internal temperature should reach 160 degrees when checked with an instant read thermometer. Roasted Potatoes with Peppers Combine the vegetables in a medium sized bowl and add the paprika and oil. Just before adding to the oven add in ½ tsp Kosher salt and a little freshly ground pepper. The vegetables can be cooked next to the meatloaf or or a separate tray. Summer Fruit Shortcake Cobbler Drop the dough in even mounds over the fruit.

- Easy Apricot and Pistachio Tart
When the Apricot and Pistachio tart is baked in the Convection Bake mode the crust bakes through perfectly and the fruit caramelizes while remaining juicy and delicious YOUR RECIPE FOR CONVECTION COOKING! Anchor 1 Easy Apricot and Pistachio Tart Convection Bake Mode Seasonal fruit tart with a golden, flaky crust topped with pistachios, ready to be served as a delightful dessert. Freeform tarts that have a thin pastry topped with seasonal fresh fruit make a wonderful dessert. When baked in the Convection Bake mode the crust bakes through perfectly, and the fruit caramelizes while remaining juicy. It is easy and delicious. This fruit tart makes a great dessert for several reasons, it is very easy to prepare and, it is delicious without being too sweet or heavy. Slicing all the fruit and arranging it can be a little labor-intensive but in this version, you only have to coarsely chopped the apricot. The pastry can be made by hand or in a food processor but pastry needs to rest for at least an hour in the refrigerator before being used, or it can be made a day in advance. The apricot filling only takes about 10 - 12 minutes to prepare but it does need to cool before being added to the pastry. I spread a coating of mascarpone cheese over the pastry before adding the apricot filling then sprinkled some pistachio nuts over the top. This tart is best baked on a flat baking sheet, however, if baking on a rimmed baking sheet choose a slightly larger pan that will allow room to handle the dough. Ingredients For the pastry 1 ½ cup all-purpose flour 1 stick of unsalted butter, very cold, cut into small cubes Pinch of Kosher salt 1 tsp granulated sugar 4 tbsp ice-cold water For the filling 1 ½ cups dried apricots ( I used the Blenheim variety) Water (enough to cover the apricots in the pan) ½ cup granulated sugar 3 tbsp Mascarpone cheese ½ cup chopped pistachio nuts Preparation Mix the flour with the salt and sugar, add the cold cubed butter, and mix by hand or in the food processor to form a coarse meal. Add the ice-cold water and mix until the mixture comes together in a ball. Handling the pastry with a light touch is key for flaky dough. Roll the pastry with a light dusting of flour into a compact disc, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for an hour or overnight. While the pastry is resting prepare the filling. Place the apricots in a medium-sized saucepan with just enough water to cover. Bring to a gentle boil and simmer for approximately 10 - 12 minutes to soften the apricots. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside ¼ cup of the liquid. Drain the apricots, chop them coarsely if needed and set them aside to cool. Return the reserved ¼ cup of liquid to the pan, add ½ cup of granulated sugar to the pan and cook over moderate heat until the sugar has dissolved. Combine the sugar syrup with the apricots and cool completely. To bake the tart, heat the oven in the Convection Bake Mode at 375 degrees. Roll the dough out to an 11 - 12” circle on a pastry mat lightly dusted with flour then carefully transfer the pastry to a flat baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Gently spread the Mascarpone cheese over the dough with a palette knife leaving a 2” border around the edges. Sprinkle a little sugar over the cheese then carefully spread the cooled apricot mixture over the cheese and top with the pistachio nuts. Fold the edges of the dough in towards the center making neat pleats as you go. Bake for 20 - 25 minutes until the crust is golden and the bottom of the crust is baked through. The edges of the crust can be brushed with a little warmed honey when the tart has cooled slightly for a glossy finish.

- Baked Eggplant Stuffed with Lamb
Baking this flavorful dish of eggplant stuffed with lamb in Convection ensures the eggplant softens to perfection absorbing the fabulous flavors of the savory lamb filling. YOUR RECIPE FOR CONVECTION COOKING! Anchor 1 Baked Eggplant Stuffed with Lamb Convection Bake or Convection Roast This delicious meal can be served as a side dish or as a main course. Baking this flavorful dish of eggplant stuffed with lamb in Convection ensures the eggplant softens to perfection absorbing the fabulous flavors of the savory lamb filling. Eggplant is used very creatively in many recipes throughout the Mediterranean region, and this recipe where the eggplant is stuffed with flavor packed lamb patties is a taste sensation. It can take 40 - 50 minutes to bake eggplant until the flesh has softened so several small narrow eggplants are the best choice for this recipe. I served this recipe with pita bread and tzatziki, but if you were in the mood to create several Mediterranean dishes they could be baked alongside some stuffed peppers . INGREDIENTS 2 - 3 small narrow eggplants 1 lb. ground lamb 1 shallot, minced 1 tsp ground garlic or 3 cloves garlic finely minced 1 tsp turmeric ½ tsp dried oregano ¼ cup tomato puree (not tomato paste) Salt & pepper to taste To Serve Pita bread, tzatziki or Greek salad with crumbled feta Serves 2 - 4 PREPARATION Rinse the eggplants and cut them into 4 - 6 evenly spaced slices, without cutting the eggplant all the way through. Arrange the prepared eggplant on a shallow rimmed baking tray and brush or spray the exposed eggplant with the olive oil. Combine the ground lamb with the seasonings, then scoop the mixture into large 2” balls flattening them enough to insert in between the eggplant slices. Push a thin metal skewer into each eggplant to hold them in place if necessary. Heat the oven in the Convection Bake or Convection Roast mode to 350°F (180°C) and bake the prepared eggplant on the center oven rack for 30 minutes. Baste the eggplant with the pan juices and cook for another 15 - 20 minutes until the eggplant is very soft. Note: Form any unused lamb into patties and freeze for another use.

- Zucchini Corn Casserole with Tomatoes and Pesto
This recipe is a great way to make good use of a bounty of summer’s flavorful vegetables. The zucchinis are cut into large chunks and quickly sautéed over high heat to give them a little char and caramelize the edges. YOUR RECIPE FOR CONVECTION COOKING! Anchor 1 Zucchini Corn Casserole with Tomatoes and Pesto Convection Roast or Convection Bake Mode Golden-baked zucchini and cherry tomato casserole topped with crispy breadcrumbs and melted cheese, served alongside roasted turkey breast. This recipe is a great way to make good use of a bounty of summer’s flavorful vegetables. The vegetables do require some advance preparation before being combined into a casserole and baked, but the extra steps ensure great flavor. The zucchinis are cut into large chunks and quickly sautéed over high heat to give them a little char and caramelize the edges. Now, the fresh corn is sautéed with onions and oregano again to allow the corn to slightly caramelize. Then, the tomatoes are folded in and cooked just enough to soften them. Making fresh pesto is easy, especially with the help of a food processor. The only real labor is removing the leaves, washing them, and making sure they are perfectly dry before proceeding. In addition, this recipe is part of the Convection Meal: Convection Baked Turkey Breast INGREDIENTS 5 large zucchini, halved lengthwise, cut into large chunks 1 medium yellow onion, cut into small dice 4 ears fresh yellow corn, kernels removed 4 cloves garlic, smashed and coarsely chopped ½ tsp dried oregano 1 basket of very ripe small tomatoes, halved 5 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, steamed until fork-tender and cut into ¼” thick slices ½ cup basil pesto 1 cup panko breadcrumbs ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese For the Pesto 1 large bunch of basil, leaves washed and thoroughly dried 4 cloves garlic, peeled 2 tbsp toasted pine nuts or walnuts Approx ⅔ cup olive oil Recipe ingredients METHOD Lightly oil a large oven-proof casserole dish and set aside. Steam the whole potatoes for 15-20 minutes, until fork-tender, in the steam oven using the Steam mode or with a little water on the cooktop. Set aside to cool, then cut into ¼” thick slices. Preheat the oven to 350°F/175 °C in Convection Bake or Convection Roast mode. Heat a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil, and increase the heat to medium-high. Sauté the zucchini in batches until nicely caramelized on the edges. When all the zucchini are cooked, transfer them to a large shallow mixing bowl. In the same pan, over moderate heat, sauté the onions until softened. Then, stir in the corn and cook for 5-6 minutes, until the corn begins to brown on the edges. Add the oregano, tomatoes, and garlic, and continue cooking for a few more minutes over moderate heat. Transfer the corn mixture to the mixing bowl with the zucchini. Season with sea salt and freshly ground pepper and mix gently to combine. Place a layer of potatoes at the bottom of the casserole dish, then top with a few spoonful of pesto and spread it evenly over the potatoes. Spoon half of the zucchini corn mixture over the potatoes. Top with another layer of potatoes and pesto, and then spoon the remainder of the zucchini corn mixture over the top. If you have extra pesto, add it to the top layer of vegetables. Combine the panko and grated Parmesan cheese, then spread them evenly over the top of the casserole. Bake for 30 minutes until the topping is golden. Serves 6 To make the pesto, place the leaves, garlic, and nuts in the bowl of a small food processor. Add a generous pinch of kosher salt and some freshly ground black pepper. Pulse a few times to mince the mixture, then with the motor running, add enough oil to make a smooth, spreadable paste. Taste and add more salt if necessary. Extra pesto can be scraped into a small container and stored in the freezer or refrigerated for a few days. Note: This recipe doesn’t use Parmesan cheese, but if you prefer to add cheese, fold in a ¼ - ½ cup.

YOUR RECIPE FOR CONVECTION COOKING! Anchor 1 Roasted Cauliflower with Chimichurri Sauce Convection Roast Mode Golden-brown roasted cauliflower florets on a baking sheet, fresh from the oven. Crisp roasted cauliflower makes a delicious side dish or can be a meal on its own. In this preparation, we added some fresh herb Chimichurri sauce, normally served with beef, to give the cauliflower some pizazz. I roasted this cauliflower as part of a Convection meal that included some baked Mahi Mah i and a medley of zucchini, peppers, and onion with some garbanzo beans. I used the Convection Roast mode and placed the cauliflower close to the bottom heating element to achieve a good amount of crisping. There is so much flavor in the Chimichurri sauce so the cauliflower only needs a drizzle of oil and a sprinkle of salt and pepper.

- Oven Baked Chicken Thighs with Lemons and Olives
Roasting bone-in chicken thighs with lemon and olives definitely adds to the flavor of this easy to prepare sheet pan chicken meal. YOUR RECIPE FOR CONVECTION COOKING! Anchor 1 Oven Baked Chicken Thighs with Lemons and Olives Convection (True Convection) or Convection Roast Mode A Moroccan-inspired feast with roasted chicken, olives, onions, saffron rice, and asparagus with lemon wedges. Roasting bone-in chicken pieces definitely adds to the flavor of this easy-to-prepare sheet-pan chicken meal. Surprisingly, even the olives seem to taste better cooked with their pits, although if I am serving this for a party, I always use unpitted olives, just to be safe. Always wanting to make good use of my appliances, I steamed a simple rice and orzo pilaf from Trader Joe's and some asparagus. This meal is perfect for “fast food”: very little prep, fast cooking, and amazingly delicious. INGREDIENTS 4 - whole chicken legs, thigh, and leg separated 1 - tablespoon smoked paprika (I used mild, but use the spicy one if you prefer) ½ - teaspoon mixed Italian seasoning ½ - red onion, cut in ¼” thick slices 2 - small lemons, sliced (the mild flavor of Meyer lemons works well) ½ - cup Castelvetrano or Manzanilla olives PREPARATION Heat the oven in the Convection or Convection Roast Mode to 400 degrees. Start by patting the chicken pieces dry with a paper towel. Then, place them in a large shallow bowl and season with kosher salt and cracked pepper. Sprinkle the smoked paprika and Italian seasoning over the chicken. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and gently toss to ensure all the chicken pieces are evenly coated.
