Roasted Corn
on the Cob
The taste of corn changes throughout the year,
depending on when it is in season. Obviously,
it's much tastier at its peak of freshness, so
you may not need any seasoning then.
Setting: Roast
Makes 4 servings
4 ears fresh corn on the cob,
cleaned
2 tablespoons (30 ml) unsalted
butter, melted
½ to 1 teaspoon (2 to 5 ml) sea or
kosher salt (start with
½ teaspoon [2ml] and add more
if desired)
¼ teaspoon (1 ml) freshly ground
black pepper
1. Brush the corn with the butter and
sprinkle with salt and pepper. Wrap in
foil.
2. Put the wrapped corn on the roasting
rack and place in the cooking pot of the
Cuisinart ® Multicooker. Cover and set to
Roast at 425°F (220°C).
3. Roast corn for about 40 minutes,
flipping halfway through (it is best and
easiest to use tongs to flip the corn).
4. Serve immediately. Season as desired.

Roasted Red Potatoes

A quick and flavourful way to enjoy red
potatoes. Be patient with flipping the potatoes
– they brown best if they are not crowded and
are left to sit in the hot cooking pot before
turning.
Settings: Roast
Makes about 8 servings
1½ tablespoons (25 ml) extra virgin
olive oil
3 to 4 garlic cloves, smashed
2 pounds (1 Kg) small red new
potatoes, halved
¼ teaspoon (1 ml) sea or kosher
salt pinch freshly ground black
pepper
2 teaspoons (10 ml) chopped fresh
rosemary
1. Put all the ingredients into a large
mixing bowl and toss to fully coat.
Preheat the Cuisinart Multicooker to
®
Roast at 375ºF (190°C).
2. Add the potatoes. Let the potatoes sit
so they form a nice crust, and then toss
after about 3 minutes.
3. Once the potatoes are browned, add
the remaining ingredients.
4. Switch unit to Roast at 425°F (220°C).
Cover and let potatoes cook for about
30 minutes, or until fully cooked.

Steamed Artichokes

Trimming the bottoms of the artichokes
ensures that they stand up straight, so do
not skip that step. Also, in addition to
adding flavour, the lemon slices prevent the
artichokes from turning brown during
cooking. Enjoy plain or dip in a nice lemon oil.
Setting: Steam
Makes 6 servings
1 quart (0.94 L) water
6 medium-to-large artichokes
6 to 12 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
2 lemons, one juiced and the
other cut into 6 slices
pinch freshly ground black
pepper
pinch sea or kosher salt
1. Put the water into the cooking pot of
the Cuisinart Multicooker fitted with
®
the steaming rack and cover.
2. Cut the stems off the artichokes so they
are able to stand. Using a serrated
knife, cut the tops of the artichokes off,
and with kitchen shears, trim the tips of
the outer leaves. Pull leaves back to
open the artichokes.
3. Evenly stuff the garlic slices in between
the leaves of each artichoke. Season
each with lemon juice, pepper and salt.
Place one lemon slice on top of each
artichoke.
4. Set the unit to Steam for 45 minutes.
5. Once tone sounds, stand the artichokes
upright in the rack and cover.
6. Artichokes are done when the leaves
are able to be pulled off easily.

Desserts

Applesauce

When fall comes around, nothing is better
than the aroma of applesauce being made
in the home. Our recipe is quite versatile – you
can leave it as a chunky sauce or purée it for
the more common smooth version.
Setting: Slow Cook
Makes about 8 cups (2 L)
4 pounds (1.8 kg) apples, cored
and cut into two-inch (50 mm)
pieces (peeled or unpeeled)
2 cinnamon sticks
2 pinches freshly ground nutmeg
pinch ground cloves
pinch sea or kosher salt
¾ cup (175 ml) water
¼ cup (60 ml) fresh lemon juice
(from about 2 medium lemons)
1. Put all of the ingredients into the
cooking pot of the Cuisinart
®
Multicooker.
2. Select Slow Cook on Low for 4 hours.
3. Once unit switches to Keep Warm,
remove the cinnamon sticks. If a chunky
sauce is desired, use a potato masher
to mash cooked apples to desired
consistency. If a smooth sauce is
preferred, transfer apples to a fine mesh
strainer and press through with the help
of a ladle. Once the apples have passed
through the strainer, discard the skins (if
necessary) and return smooth apples to
the cooking pot. Keep sauce on Keep
Warm for serving, or cool to room
temperature and store in the refrigerator.
