Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/4 cup warm water (105º to 115ºF)
1 package Fleischmann's® Active Dry Yeast
3/4 cup warm milk (105º to 115ºF)
2 tablespoons butter -- softened
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cups all-purpose flour (3 to 3 1/2 cups)
2 egg whites
3/4 cup chopped walnuts -- toasted
Place warm water in large, warm bowl. Sprinkle in yeast; stir until dissolved. Add warm milk, butter, sugar, salt and 1 1/2 cups flour; blend well. Stir in 1 egg white, walnuts and enough remaining flour to make soft dough. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 4 to 6 minutes. Place in greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 45 to 60 minutes.
Punch dough down. Remove dough to lightly floured surface; divide into four equal pieces. Roll each to 8- × 4-inch rectangle. Beginning at short end of each, roll up tightly as for jelly roll. Pinch seams and ends to seal. Place, seam sides down, in four greased mini loaf pans (about 3- × 6-inches). Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 30 to 45 minutes.
Lightly beat remaining egg white; brush on loaves. With sharp knife, make three diagonal slashes on each loaf. Bake at 400ºF for 20 minutes or until done. Remove from pans; cool on wire racks.

8 oz Flour
1/2 ts Salt
1/4 pt Water
2 oz Beef drippings
TOP
12 oz Puff pastry
Beaten egg for glaze
FILLING
1 lb Minced beef
1 "cube" beef stock
1 ts Salt
Pepper to taste
1/2 pt Water
1 pn Nutmeg
3 tb Flour

6 Foot Party Sandwich
from NY, USA
1, 6 foot bread (Italian) whole
4 pounds thin slice cold cuts (turkey, salami, pastrami, bologna, etc. etc.)
2 pounds assorted sliced cheese
1 head of ice burg lettuce knife shredded
1 quart jar of mayonnaise
several onions very thin sliced
6 large tomatoes thin sliced
1 quart jar of kosher dills thin sliced
salt, pepper
optional: 1 plastic jar of mustard
long toothpicks
Here are my tips and advice:
Order a large bread from your deli or bakery . In my area the bread costs about $20 plus a refundable fee for the board it comes on. I have been making my own 6 foot subs for years for all sorts of parties and I enjoy the ingredients of my choice.
Obviously to do this one needs a large enough vehicle to retrieve the bread and counter space to prepare!
Pick up the bread on the day you plan to serve this. It will fit into a van.
One needs a long table to lay the bread with board on. Slice bread in half with a serrated knife.One person to help hold the bread and the other to slice. Spread one half of bread with mayonnaise and the other half with mustard. Then layer on the meats and cheeses. Then layer the onions, tomatoes, lettuce and pickles. Salt and pepper to taste. Add anything else you want to (sliced or hot peppers etc. etc. ) Carefully place on top half of bread to cover.
It takes two people to do this.
Use long wooden bamboo skewers or very long toothpicks to secure sections of the sandwich together. One can cut a good 30 pieces - more if cut a bit smaller. Unless one has a cooler to store the sandwich, it is best to prepare the sandwich just before serving time. It takes me about 10 minutes to do this.
I usually slice the vegetables ahead of time using a hand mandolin or slicer. Vegetables are then stored in plastic storage bags the morning I plan to make the sandwich. I usually try to buy the cold cuts ahead of time on sale. Most cold cuts freeze well.
The hardest part is having room enough to prepare the sandwich. The best part is eating it!!!!
Of course potato salad, macaroni salad and other party salads are great accompaniments.

A Trio of LatkesBasic Mix For One recipe
Approximately 1/2 cup flour( could be matzoth meal instead )
1/2 tsp salt or to taste
fresh grated black pepper to taste
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 very large onion finely grated ( divided , larger amount goes for potato pancake recipe )
minced fresh garlic ( optional ) esp. nice in zucchini recipe
1 Tbs fresh chopped or dried parsley for potato pancake recipe
1/2 tsp cinnamon for sweet potato recipe
2 to 4 large eggs
Vegetables:
6 medium Yukon Gold potatoes ( or yellow potatoes ) fine chopped/ grated
1 medium zucchini shredded skin on
1 medium sweet potato, peeled and finely chopped or fine shredded or fine grated
Oil to fry
Accompany with: applesauce, sour cream, maple syrup, mango chutney etc.
I made this ratio for a latke party. One may use only one recipe if desired. I made all 3 varieties and had some leftovers; which may be reheated in the oven. However fried foods taste best freshly made and when served immediately !
Into each of three mixing bowls place the flour, salt, pepper, baking powder and stir well.
Grate one large onion and divide into the 3 bowls, using more onion for potato pancake batter.
For Potato pancakes peel and chop raw potatoes in food processor ( metal blade ) - or finely grate by hand. ( place peeled potatoes in ice cold water as you finish peeling them )
Place grated potatoes in colander to drain off liquid. Then place potatoes in clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess water by hand ( you will be amazed how much is squeezed out ).
Place potatoes into bowl with batter ingredients and add 2 to 3 large eggs, some fresh chopped or dried parsley to taste and mix well by hand to achieve thick batter consistency
For Zucchini pancakes: shred zucchini and press out excess liquid in colander. Add to dry ingredients with 3 eggs, and mix well. Garlic is a nice addition here.
For Sweet potatoes. Peel and finely chop/grate. There is really no excess liquid with raw sweet potatoes. Add to flour mixture and add cinnamon to taste along with 3 eggs and mix well.
All recipes should have a thick batter consistency and so one may have to adjust the amount of flour & eggs etc to achieve that consistency
Heat oil in a heavy duty skillet ( at least one inch deep ) to about 360F med high heat until oil is wavy and a drop of batter placed into oil will float to top and sizzle. Too cold oil and fry foods get greasy and soggy , too hot, fried foods brown and don't cook through
Drop batter by heaping tablespoons/or level mixing spoons and spread out top with bottom of spoon. Fry each side till golden brown several minutes each side and turn to other side frying till golden brown again; ideally turning each pancake over just one. Drain on paper toweling, remove and place on serving platter. Or keep warm in 200F oven until all are fried and ready to serve.
Serve with your favorite condiments.
Yield: for each type of pancake recipe: approximately 10 to 12 servings all depends how large they are when going into oil to fry.
Note: Leftover batters may be saved ,and baked into a kugel, in greased pan in 350F oven till golden
I often mix both the zucchini and potato batters for a kugel.
The sweet potato latkes( natural sugars in sweet potatoes ) may tend to burn more quickly when fried.

Adobo
I was requested to submit this recipe here. This is a very common Filipino dish and very practical for tropical countries because of the lack of electricity and appliances in villages and it can keep for days without refrigeration. This dish however has become one of the Philippine favorites even in cities and towns.
ADOBO
1 Kg. cubed Pork (best with the fat)
1 Chicken chopped into small pieces (Optional)
1 cup Soy Sauce
3/4 cup vinegar
2 pcs. Laurel Leaves
1 Tbs. Peppercorns
1 clove garlic, chopped
Combine all ingredients in a caserole and bring to a boil. Bring heat to medium and simmer until meat is very tender. Some would transfer the dish to a wok and fry the dish in its own oil until the pork and chicken are shredded.
Serve with rice.
Most families do this purely with pork. For variation it is also good to include chicken slices. This they call Chicken-Pork Adobo.

African Turnovers1 pound ground chicken ( I imagine could be beef etc. )
1 small onion diced
Filling:
1 small carrot
small amt red cabbage
1 small onion
some cilantro chopped
seasoned salt to taste
dash of chili powder to taste
1 pkg spring roll wrappers
flour and water paste
oil to fry
My daughter works with a woman from Africa who makes these delicious turnovers in a triangular pocket shape. The turnover has a triangular pocket in which another flap covers the triangle pocket and the whole thing is again one triangular shaped appetizer. The turnover should be brown and crisp with a moist chicken and vegetable filling.
Sauté ground chicken with some diced onion until cooked. Drain off any liquid from chicken.
Grind or fine shred vegetables and press through strainer or cloth to rid excess liquid.
Sauté the veges in a bit of oil until softened and tender. Drain off any liquid from vegetables and add to chicken.
Cool. Mixture shouldn't have any excess liquid.
Add dash of chili powder to taste along with salt and pepper to taste. Add some chopped fresh cilantro as desired
Form and fill egg roll wrappers into a triangular shape pocket , sealing cover edges with a bit flour paste. Fry rolls in hot oil until browned and crisp. Drain and serve immediately.
Note: filling may be more than needed depending on how many wrappers one has.
You don't have to have a triangle shape, fill and seal as desired, making sure edges stick together so when deep fried filling stays intact.
African Vegetable Stew
from Philadelphia, PA
1 very large onion,chopped
1 bunch Swiss chard
1 can garbanzo beans 500 g (known also as chick peas, ceci, etc.)
1/2 cup raisins 75 g
1/2 cup uncooked rice 100 g
several fresh tomatoes (or 1 large can 800 g of canned tomatoes)
1 clove garlic (or more to taste)
2 yams
salt and pepper to taste
tabasco sauce to taste
Fry onion, garlic, and white stems of chard until barely limp. Add chopped greens and fry a bit. Either peel the yams or scrub them well with a vegetable brush, then slice them into thick slices. Add garbanzos, raisins, yams, tomatoes, salt, and pepper. Cook a couple of minutes. Make a well in the center of the mixture in the pot. Put the rice in the well and pat it down until it's wet. Cover and cook until rice is done(emabout 25 minutes. Add Tabasco sauce to taste. I find that the flavors of the vegetables don't stand out unless you put in a lot of tabasco. But then, I've got a cast-iron tongue. You should add enough to make the stew seem spicy to you. Difficulty: easy. Time: 15 minutes preparation, 30 minutes cooking. Precision: no need to measure.

4 oz Prosciutto; in one piece
4 oz Pancetta; in one piece
2 Italian sausages without
-fennel seed
4 tb Unsalted butter
4 Extra-large eggs
3/4 c Bread crumbs, unseasoned
5 tb Parmesan cheese; grated
Salt & black pepper to taste
MMMMM---------------------TO COOK MEAT BALLS--------------------------
4 qt Chicken broth
MMMMM---------------------------SAUCE--------------------------------
8 tb Unsalted butter
1/2 lb Mascarpone
1/2 c Heavy cream
Salt & black pepper to taste
1 pn Freshly grated nutmeg
MMMMM--------------------------TO SERVE-------------------------------
8 tb Parmesan cheese; grated
Cut the prosciutto and pancetta into small pieces and remove the
casing from the sausages. Using a meat grinder, grind together the
prosciutto, pancetta, and sausages. Place the ground meat in a
crockery or glass bowl, add the butter and eggs, and mix very well
with a wooden spoon until the butter is completely incorporated. Add
the bread crumbs and Parmesan, and season with salt and pepper. Cover
the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before using.
When ready, bring the broth to a boil in a large pot over medium heat.
Meanwhile, place a large skillet with the butter over low heat. When
the broth reaches a boil, start shaping the meat mixture into tiny
meat balls; a heaping tablespoon of mixture will be enough to prepare
several. Make sure the meat balls are solid with no holes inside.
Drop the balls into the boiling broth a few at a time, and as they
rise to the top, tansfer them with a slotted spoon to the skillet
containing the butter. When all the meat balls are cooked and in the
skillet, add the mascarpone and heavy cream. Mix very well and simmer
for 1 or 2 minutes, or until the mascarpone is completely dissolved.
Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Mix very well, then transfer to
a warmed serving platter. Serve immediately, with some Parmesan on
the side.

Alfalfa and Avocado with Sesame Mayo
from Tipperary, Ireland
Serves 4
3oz sesame seeds
4oz unblanched almonds
4 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 lemon, juice only
1 tbsp cider vinegar
2 tsp tamari soy sauce (optional)
pinch of ground black pepper
3 tbsp water
2 perfect avocados - ½ per person
4oz alfalfa sprouts, rinsed and drained
1. Reserve a spoonful of the sesame seeds and roast the rest in a dry pan for 5 minutes.
2. Put everything else, except the avocado and alfalfa, into a blender or food processor. Whiz on full power until you have a mayonnaise-like sauce. You may need to add a little extra water or lemon juice.
2. Cut the avocados in half and remove the stones. Place the cut sides down and score the skin with the tip of a sharp knife down the middle. You should now be able to gently pull off the skins in two pieces, leaving the pear halves intact.
3. Divide the alfalfa sprouts evenly between four serving plates, flatten the mounds a little and gently loosen them. Place an avocado half on top of the sprouts and cut it across into slices, holding it together with the other hand. Push gently to fan out the slices evenly. Pour the sauce on top and sprinkle with the remaining seeds. Serve as a lunch of first course.
Note:
As always, choosing the perfect avocado is the difference between heaven and dreadful disappointment. Choose them evenly green and giving to slight pressure at the stem end. The black knobbly type, or Hass, is trickier to judge as the skins are very hard even when the fruit is soft inside. If they are hard in the shop, buy them anyway and wait 3-4 days before making this dish, while the avocado ripens to perfection in your kitchen.

Alfredo's BBQ Fish MarinadeThis one is from San Jose, California, USA. My husband enjoys fishing. While on a fishing trip for Dorado (Mahi Mahi) to the Gulf of California, Sea of Cortez, he picked up this recipe from one of the local fishing guides.
Alfredo's BBQ Fish Marinade
1 Cup Soy Sauce
1 Cup Lime Juice
1 Cup Vinegar
1 Cup Oil
2 Tsp. Pepper
2 Tbsp. Salt
1 Tsp. Lawry's Season Salt
1/4 Cup Sesame Seeds
1 Clove Garlic Minced
Mix all the above ingredients in deep dish. Marinate fish for one hour before grilling.
Tastes very good on fresh Mahi Mahi or Ahi Tuna. Depending on your preference you can cut back on the salt. I prefer to cut back on the salt by at least half or not add it to the recipe. Try it full strength at least once, then decide.

Almond Pumpkin CharlotteAlmond Pumpkin Charlotte (france)
from: Great Recipes of the world Nov 1982
30 single ladyfingers
2 envelopes unflavored gelatin
2/3 cup milk (I used skim milk)
1/3 cup dark rum
4 eggs, separated or 1 cup of Eggbeaters with 8 tablespoons of Just Whites
2/3 cups brown sugar
2 cups mashed pumpkin (canned or freshly made0
1 teaspoon grated orange peel

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon cloves, ground
1 cup whipping cream,whipped with 3 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup toasted almonds. chopped
additional whipped cream for topping.
Trim off tip end of the ladyfingers to fit the height of an 8 inch springform pan. Stand ladyfingers in the pan with curved side against the side of pan.
Set aside. In a large saucepan, combine gelatin, milk, rum, egg yolks (reserve whites for later) and 1/3 cup of sugar. stir over low heat to make a soft custard, 5-10 minutes. remove from heat. Stir in pumpkin, orange peel and spices. Set aside. In another bowl, beat egg white until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in remaining sugar. gently fold egg white mixture and whipped
cream into pumpkin alternately. fold in almonds. Turn into prepared Ladyfinger-lined pan. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for 6 hours or up to 3 days. when ready to serve, remove springform.Pipe rosettes of whipped cream around edges of dessert.
Note: I did not have ladyfingers. so I crushed some nuts with sugar and spread on the bottom of the pan and left the sides bare. I also do not own a cake
decorator, so cut a tiny corner off a baggie, put the whipped cream in and piped blobs. looked fine, tasted good.
Almond Snack MixThis heart-healthy snack is quite a good alternative to cheese puffs and other such items... great for a Super Bowl party!
Serves 4; 1/2 cup per serving
1/3 cup whole unsalted almonds
2/3 cup multibran or whole-grain cereal squares
1/2 cup low-fat granola cereal without raisins
1/4 cup dried apricot halves, cut into strips, or golden raisins
1/4 cup sweetened dried cranberries
Preheat the oven to 350 F. Spread the almonds in a single layer on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 5 to 10 minutes, or until lightly toasted, stirring once or twice to ensure even baking. Transfer to a plate to cool completely. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, stir together the remaining ingredients. Stir in the cooled almonds.
Cook's Tip: If all the snack mix isn't likely to be eaten on the day you make it, we recommend using the golden raisins. The moisture of the dried apricots may cause the cereal to lose its crispness over time. Be sure the almonds are completely cooled when you add them to the mix; otherwise, they will make it soggy.

Alu MattarALU MATTAR (North India)
3 large onions, in thin slivers
3 med. potatoes, peeled & cut in chunks
10 oz. pkg. frozen peas, defrosted
2 or 3 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2" ginger root, finely julienned & chopped
1 or 2 green chilies
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp ground coriander, optional
1 or 2 dry red chilies
1/4 tsp turmeric
1/4 tsp cayenne, optional
3 or 4 tbsp peanut oil or ghee (recipe below), or mixture of both
salt & pepper to taste
1 tbsp chopped coriander leaves
(spices may be increased, decreased, &/or varied, but do not omit cumin & turmeric)
In a heavy sauce pan, sautee onions in the oil &/or ghee at a fairly high temperature, stirring frequently and adding small amounts of water if necessary to prevent burning. When the onions are transparent and brownish, add the garlic & ginger, stir briefly, and add potatoes, green chilies (whole) and red chilies. Stir a lot and, as before, add water if necessary. After about 5 minutes, depending on size of potato chunks, add spices and salt & pepper, stir briefly, and then add enough water to cover potatoes. Turn heat to low, cover pot, and simmer until potatoes are cooked through. Add peas & stir very briefly. Add more water if necessary (the onions should almost dissolve, creating a fair amount of gravy-like sauce). Add coriander leaves. Serve with rice.
Ghee: in a small pan, melt about 1/2 pound unsalted butter. Bring it to a slow boil, skimming the foam as it rises to the top. Do not stir. After foam has stopped coming up, simmer slowly for about 10-15 minutes, uncovered. Turn off heat and let stand. Whatever milk solids are left will precipitate to bottom of pan. Allow to cool somewhat, and carefully pour into glass container, leaving particles behind. Ghee will keep, unrefrigerated, for a long time.

Amber Citrus MarmaladeHere's one from circa 1973 (I collect & save recipes for years); so out of my Alton, IL, USA archives, here's a midwestern favorite:
AMBER CITRUS MARMALADE
1 Lg. Grapefruit
1 Lemon
1 Lg. Orange
Sugar (approx. 7 cups)
Wash fruit. Cut grapefruit into 8 wedges, and orange & lemon into 4 wedges. Then cut wedges crosswise into thin slices; save the juice.
In a 6-qt. kettle, combine all fruit, fruit juice, and 1 1/2 qts of water. Bring to boiling; boil rapidly, uncovered for 30 minutes or until peel is tender. Measure fruit mixture; return to kettle. Add 1 cup sugar for each cup of
fruit mixture. Bring to boiling again, stirring until sugar is dissolved; boil rapidly, stirring frequently for another 30 minutes or until the mixture is thick and reaches jellying point* (Be careful not to overcook since the marmalade would become too dark and tasste scorched.)
In the meantime, sterilize 8 (8 oz.) jelly glasses by boiling them for 20 minutes. Keep them in hot water until ready to fill. Lift out with tongs. Remove marmalade from heat. Ladle immediately into hot, sterilized glasses, filling to within 1/2 inch of the top. Cover immediately w/ about 1/8 inch of hot paraffin. Let glasses stand overnight or until cool. Cover glasses with metal lids.
Makes 7 or 8 (8 oz.) glasses
* To test for jellying point: Dip a large metal spoon into boiling syrup; tilt spoon so syrup runs off edge. Syrup is at jellied point when it doesn't flow, but divides into 2 drops that run together and sheet from the spoon.
***** A "Skeeter's" Neater Way to Do It Tip...........
When stuffing snacks, use a pastry tube for soft fillings in things like devilled eggs, stuffing celery, or topping crackers. There's little mess this way and if you use a decorator tip, you'll be a hit with your professional looking touch!

AnguBrazilian Cornmeal
1 tbsp oil
2 cloves garlic, minced ~ 2 tsp
1 white onion, finely chopped ~ 1/4 cup
2-3 cups cold water
1/2 cup stone ground cornmeal
salt and fresh ground black pepper, to taste
Servings: 6 to 8
Notes: Angu (pronounced "aing goo") is a sort of polenta, one of the many cooked starch pastes one finds in Brazil. For best results, use a fine, stone ground cornmeal.
Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Cook the garlic and onion over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes or until soft but not brown. Add 2 cups water and bring to a rapid boil.
Add the cornmeal in a thin stream through your fingers, stirring vigorously to prevent lumps. The mixture should be the consistency of choux pastry or soft ice cream. If too thick, make a hole in the angu with a wooden spoon and stir in a little cold water. Reduce the heat to low and gently simmer for 3 to 4 minutes. Correct the seasoning and serve at once.
Note: For a prettier presentation, the angu can be spooned into a thickly buttered tube pan and unmolded onto a platter.

Thoroughly stir together flour, anise, baking powder, and slat and set aside. Using a small sharp knife peel a thin layer of zest (without white membrane) from the entire lemon. Combine lemon zest and sugar in a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Process until zest is very finely minced. Add shortening and butter to the processor and process for one minute. Add egg yolk and vanilla and process 20 seconds longer. Add dry ingredients and continue processing just until they are blended. Divide dough in half and place each portion between large sheets of waxed paper and roll out to 1/8 inch thick. Check the underside of the dough to check for any creases. Slide dough onto a large tray or baking sheet and refrigerate for 15 minutes, or until the dough is chilled and slightly firm. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease several baking sheets.
Work one half of the dough at at time. Turn the dough over and peel the sheet of wax paper off of the dough and replace the paper loosely. Then turn the dough right side up. Peel off and discard the top sheet of paper. Using assorted 2 1/4 to 3" cookie cutters cut out cookies. Place in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes or until just brown ant the edges.

Anti-Vampire Pizza
Anti-Vampire Pizza (dead easy too!)
Base : any pizza base your heart desires.
Sauce : raw garlic cloves, crushed or chopped, add enough olive oil to
cover the garlic pieces. I usually snip in some fresh basil leaves and add
a dash of Italian seasoning.
Depending on your taste (and nutritional inclinations!), you can massage,
drizzle or pour the oil onto the base, making sure you have a decent amount
of garlic distributed on the crust. I usually end up using at least 3
cloves for a 10" pizza. Top with toppings of choice, and as much or as
little mozzarella cheese as you like.
Topping Variations :
1. Vegetarian
For a 10" pizza, slice up 10 mushrooms and a medium-sized onion. Saute
onions until limp, add mushrooms and cook until onions are golden. (For a
double whammy, I used olive oil in which chopped garlic had been sitting
for a day, and also added a clove of minced garlic to the saute mixture. A
little nugget of garlic or herb butter will also add extra flavour, but
that's optional.) Season to taste with a teaspoon (or more!) of lime or
lemon juice, and pepper.
2. Garlicky Shrimp
Both fresh and cooked shrimp are fine for this. As for the veggie pizza,
saute an onion and a clove of garlic. Chuck the peeled shrimp in halfway if
you're using the raw stuff, if not, add cooked shrimp when the onion/garlic
mixture is golden. Whack them around so they are well coated. Adding some
rosemary, basil and/or a dash of Italian seasoning is also nice.

Anzac BiscuitsDuring World War 1, the wives, mothers and girlfriends of the Australian soldiers were concerned for the nutritional value of the food being supplied to their men. Here was a problem. Any food they sent to the fighting men had to be carried in the ships of the Merchant Navy. Most of these were lucky to maintain a speed of ten knots (18.5 kilometers per hour). Most had no refrigerated facilities, so any food sent had to be able to remain edible after periods in excess of two months. A body of women came up with the answer - a biscuit with all the nutritional value possible. The basis was a Scottish recipe using rolled oats. These oats were used extensively in Scotland, especially for a heavy porridge that helped counteract the extremely cold climate.
The ingredients they used were: rolled oats, sugar, plain flour, coconut, butter, golden syrup or treacle, bi-carbonate of soda and boiling water. All these items did not readily spoil. At first the biscuits were called Soldiers' Biscuits, but after the landing on Gallipoli, they were renamed ANZAC Biscuits.
A point of interest is the lack of eggs to bind the ANZAC biscuit mixture together. Because of the war, many of the poultry farmers had joined the services, thus, eggs were scarce. The binding agent for the biscuits was golden syrup or treacle. Eggs that were sent long distances were coated with a product called ke peg (like Vaseline) then packed in air tight containers filled with sand to cushion the eggs and keep out the air.
As the war drew on, many groups like the CWA (Country Women's Association), church groups, schools and other women's organisations devoted a great deal of time to the making of ANZAC biscuits. To ensure that the biscuits remained crisp, they were packed in used tins, such as Billy Tea tins. You can see some of these tins appearing in your supermarket as exact replicas of the ones of earlier years. Look around. The tins were airtight, thus no moisture in the air was able to soak into the biscuits and make them soft. Most people would agree there is nothing worse than a soft biscuit.
During World War 2, with refrigeration in so many Merchant Navy Ships, the biscuits were not made to any great extent. It was now possible to send a greater variety of food, like fruit cake.
ANZAC biscuits are still made today. They can also be purchased from supermarkets and specialty biscuit shops. Around ANZAC Day, these biscuits are also often used by veterans' organisations to raise funds for the care and welfare of aged war veterans.
1 cup plain flour
1 cup rolled oats (regular oatmeal) uncooked
1 cup desiccated coconut
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup butter
2 tbsp golden syrup (or honey)
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
2 tbsp boiling water
Combine the flour (sifted), oats, coconut and sugar in a bowl. Melt the butter and Golden Syrup (or honey) in a saucepan over a low heat.
Mix the bicarbonate of soda with the water and add to the butter and Golden Syrup.
Pour the liquids into the dry ingredients and mix well.
Spoon dollops of mixture, about the size of a walnut shell, onto a greased tin leaving as much space again between dollops to allow for spreading.
Bake in a moderate oven, 180C / 350F, for 15-20 minutes.
Cool on a wire rack and seal in airtight containers.
Notes
The American tablespoon is a little smaller than the British tablespoon, so be generous with your Golden Syrup (or Honey) and Water.
If you have any thoughts of keeping the biscuits for any length of time I suggest you keep them in a padlocked container!
For a little variety you may wish to add 2 teaspoons of ginger spice or even Wattle Seeds, a recent addition but don't ask me where to get them.

Apple Caramel Dessert
APPLE CARAMEL DESSERT
from: Good Housekeeping Illustrated Microwave Cookbook
serves6
3/4 cup all purpose flour
3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons shortening
5 tablespoons butter or margarine, chilled
2-3 tablespoons ice water
4 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons cold water
8 small apples, peeled, cored and thickly sliced
Ice Cream or Heavy or whipping cream
9" broiler safe pie plate
In food processor , process flour, dark brown sugar, and cinnmon until
blended. Add shortening and 3 tablespoons chilled butter or margarine.
Process until mixture resembles coarse crumbs or use plastry blender or
fingertips.
Into mixture sprinkle 2 tablespoons ice water. With pulsing motion,
process just until mixture begins to hold together. If necessary, add another
tablespoon of ice water. Do not over process or mixture will be tough. Shape
into ball. Flatten slightly, wrap in waxed paper and refridgerate 30 minutes.
Prepare caramel. In pie plate, Place remaining butter . Heat, covered
with paper towel on HIGH (100%power) 45 seconds, or until melted. Stir in
sugar and cold water. Cook on HIGH 6-9 Minutes, without stirring. Just until
mixture turns golden, watching carefully since caramel burns easily and
continues to cook and darken when removed from oven. (I check this every 2
minutes)
Remove pie plate from oven. Stir caramel once to distribute color
evenly. In caramel, carefull arrange apple slices in concentric circles.
(there will be enough for 2-3 layers)
On lightly floured surgace, with floured rolling pin, roll dough into 9
inch round, 1/4 inch thick. Place on top of apples. Cook on HIGH 7-10
minutes., Until sruface looks dry. Lightly brown under preheated broiler. Let
stand on heat safe surface 5 minutes.
with knife, loosen dessert from side of pie plate. Invert pie plate
onto serving platter. Carefully remove pie plate to unmold dessert. With
rubber spatula, loosen any slices sticking to pie plate. Place on top of
dessert. Serve warm or cover and chill to serve later.
I like this warm with a scoop of vanilla icecream or cold with sweetened
whipped cream or fruit sauce.

Apple Everything Cake
from New York, USA
1 cup oil
1/4 cup half and half or milk
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
3 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 tsp pure vanilla or almond extract etc.

1/4 cup dark raisins
1/4 cup chocolate chips
1/3 cup chopped walnuts, almonds or pecans
1/4 cup flaked coconut
1/4 cup drained and chopped maraschino cherries
powdered sugar mixed with cocoa as garnish
This recipe is very simple and delicious and tastes best when aged. Because my recipe does not include any cinnamon ( I don't care for the brownish batter color ) , use of a pure flavor extract is very important. I send this cake often as part of a care package to my daughter in college.
Grease and flour a large fluted cake pan. Preheat oven to 325F.
Beat oil, milk, extract and sugar till well combined. Beat in eggs to combine. Sift dry ingredients together and beat into to wet mixture and combine well. Stir in fruits and nuts.Turn batter into pan and bake until tested done with wooden toothpick- about 60 to 75 minutes. Cool in pan 15 minutes and remove to rack to cool well. Wrap overnight before slicing for best flavor. Dust with sugar/cocoa. 1 large moist cake. Freezes well.

1/2 tsp salt
3 cups apples, peeled and sliced
1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
1 1/4 cups sugar
3 tsp cinnamon

1/2 cup sour cream
This recipe featured in my local paper comes from The Culinary Institute of America's new book : America's Baking Boot Camp.
I made it for family company and we all agreed it is a lovely basic apple cake.
Grease and flour a 9 inch square baking dish. Preheat oven to 325F. Sift dry ingredients except sugar and cinnamon and set aside. Finely chop half of the apples and leave other half sliced. Cream butter and one cup sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, scraping bottom and sides of bowl. Add chopped apples and sour cream. Stir in the sifted dry ingredients. Gently fold in the sliced apples just until they are coated. Pour into prepared pan, spreading it into an even layer. Sift remaining sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle evenly over batter. Bake in preheated oven 45 to 50 minutes or until tester comes out clean and edges shrink from sides of the pan.
Yield 16 servings.
Note: batter may be thick but added apples release some moisture when baked. Topping will sweet & crunchy.
I cut larger pieces for 8 to 10 servings.

4 cups cooked diced chicken
1 stalk celery fine diced
2 Tbs. sweet white onion fine chopped
3 large (small lemon size apricots ) ripe, sweet apricots, pitted and fine diced

Mix all together using enough mayonnaise to bind. Season to taste. Wonderful for a chicken salad fruit plate or to stuff hollowed out ripe tomatoes or as a filling for sandwiches.
Apricot Chicken with ScallionsThe following is a recipes taken from the newspaper (the Baltimore Sun) somewhere around the beginning of August. It turned out really good.
Apricot Chicken with Scallions
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
4 to 8 scallions, inlcuding a small portion of the green tops, trimmed and chopped into segments about 1/2-inch long
flour (enough to dredge chicken)
salt
black pepper, freshly ground
paprika
cayenne pepper
1 can (16 ozs.) apricot halves
2 to 3 tsps. soy sauce or tamari
toasted sesame seed oil
3 to 4 Tbsps. cream sherry
Flatten chicken breasts to 1/2-inch thickness.
Drain apricots and reserve liquid. Combine with soy sauce, a few drops of sesame oil, and the sherry.
Combine flour with seasonings to taste.
Dredge chiken and set on plate. Put a large, non-stick pan on medium high heat, add a few tablespoons of oil to the pan, and heat until oil sizzles. Add scallions and heat just until lightly browned; remove with a slotted spoon to a bowl.
Add additional oil if needed. Add chicken breats and brwon one side. Turn over and reduce heat to medium low. Return the scallions to the pan along with the apricots. Dirzzle the the syrup-sherry mixture. Cover and simmer for 3 to 5 minutes, turing chicken to coat with liquid.
Serve with steamed rice (or couscous). Top with toated sesame seeds and chopped cilatro if desired. (We topped with the sesame seeds, additional scallions, and chives - my cilantro didn't make it this summer.)
Yummy!
Cheers,
Janet

Apricot Crumbcake
Recipe By :
Serving Size : 1
Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Desserts Cakes
=== CAKE BATTER ===
1 stick Unsalted butter -- softened
3/4 cup Sugar
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
1 whole Egg
3 Egg yolks
1 1/4 cups Unbleached all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon Baking powder
8 Apricots -- pitted, quartered
=== CRUMB TOPPING ===
1 1/4 cups Unbleached all-purpose flour
1/3 cup Sugar
1/4 teaspoon Cinnamon
1 stick Unsalted butter -- melted
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 10-inch round cake pan, 2-inches deep and line the bottom with a disk of parchment or wax paper. In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and soft. Add the egg and continue beating until light. Add the yolks one at a time, beating well between each addition. Beat in the vanilla. Sift together the flour and baking powder and stir into the batter. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan. Arrange the apricots skin-side down on the batter in concentric rows, overlapping slightly, leaving a margin of about 1-inch around the edge. Don't be concerned if the apricots mounds slightly in the center of the cake, the top will even out as the cake bakes. For the crumbs, mix the flour, sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Melt the butter and stir it in evenly. Rub the mixture to coarse crumbs by hand. Scatter the crumbs over the apricot and the batter at the edges as evenly as possible. Bake the cake 1 hour until a knife point inserted in the center emerges clean. Cool the cake in the pan for about 15 minutes and invert a plate on it. Invert onto the plate and lift off the pan. Peel off the paper and invert a rack on the cake. Invert onto the rack and cool. This recipe yields ?? servings.
Variations: Substitute 8 pitted and quartered plums or 3 cups fresh cut pineapple.

Apricot Pull-Apart Breadfrom Yardley, PA, USA
Also called "monkey bread", I had this when I was a kid!
one 16 oz. frozen loaf of white bread dough, thawed
one 12 oz. can/jar of apricot cake or pastry filling
3 T melted butter or margarine
1/3 cup sugar
Cut one 16-ounce loaf of frozen white bread dough, thawed, in half lengthwise; then cut into 8 pieces crosswise (16 pieces total).
Flatten pieces of dough with fingers, stretching
slightly to form 4-inch circles. Using the apricot filling, spoon one tablespoon in center of each circle. Bring edges of dough together, pinch to seal. Dip in 3 tablespoons melted butter or margarine and then in 1/3 cup sugar. Pleace, seam side down, in 2 layers in a greased 9x5x3 inch loaf pan. Cover; let rise until almost doubled in size.
Bake in a 350 degree oven for 35-40 minutes or until done, covering with foil during the last 10 minutes of baking. Remove from the pan. Invert onto a serving plate. Serve warm. Makes one loaf (16 servings).
Note: This is the original recipe of what I had growing up. I'm not sure why there's no distinction between using butter or margarine... I'm sure it would would make some sort of a difference in the result but I suppose personal taste and trial and error prevail here.

Apricot Vlaai
Vlaai (pronounced like fly with a "v" instead of an "f") is a traditional pie
or tart from the Province of Limburg in the southern part of the Netherlands.
There are many varieties -- rice, cherry, white chocolate, apple and rum,
crumb, gooseberry -- so use your imagination. The following is one of the
most popular types, apricot.
Sift 500 grams (4 cups) of flour with a pinch of salt into a large mixing
bowl. Warm 1/5 dl (2/3 cup) of milk. Cream 20 g (3/4 oz) of fresh yeast with
the milk in a small bowl. Leave in a warm place until it becomes frothy.
Make a hollow in the mound of flour and pour in the creamed yeast. Stir the
yeast mixture into the flour.
Add 1 large beaten egg, 100 g (1/2 cup) melted butter and 100 g (1/2 cup) of
sugar and knead to a soft dough which easily comes away from the sides of the
bowl.
Shape the dough into a ball, cover the container with a damp cloth and leave
for about 1 hour in a warm place until the dough is well risen. Preheat the
oven to 230 C (450 F).
Lightly grease two large, flat flan tins. Knead the risen dough on a lightly
floured work surface and use it to line the flan tins. Cover the dough with
about 900 g (2 lbs) of apricot compote and garnish with 16 apricot halves,
fresh or tinned (the former being preferable, of course). Bake for 15-25
minutes in the center of the oven. Cool the vlaai on a wire tray and serve
with whipped cream if desired.
Variation:
This special vlaai can also be decorated with a trellis work of pastry. Use
slighty less dough for the base of the vlaai and cover the fruit compote with
a trellis work of pastry strips, approximately 1 cm (1/2 inch) thick.
Use apple or cherry compote as a filling instead of apricots, if desired,
and if fresh fruit is not available, use a commercial fruit pie filling.

Arborio Rice Soup
from Tipperary, Ireland
Makes 4 cups - 4 servings
Arborio rice is an Italian short-grain, high-starch rice used in risotto, Spanish paella, and rice puddings because the grains impart a creamy texture. Use any orange-fleshed winter squash in this soup; they are all sweet and creamy when cooked. You'll find that the smaller ones without ridges are easier to peel and chop.
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup finely chopped onion
1 celery stalk and greens, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 ½ cups (6 ounces) sliced cremini mushrooms
½ cup uncooked Arborio rice
1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary or ½ teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
4 cups vegetable stock (make using cubes, powder, or a concentrate available in most supermarkets)
1 ½ cups (about 12 ounces) peeled striped marrow squash (or other winter squash) in ½-inch cubes
1 teaspoon lemon zest
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Salt to taste
Freshly ground pepper to taste
Very thin slices of Pecorino Romano cheese for garnish
Heat the oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion, celery and leaves, and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms; continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until they are tender, about 5 minutes.
Add the rice and rosemary; stir until coated with oil. Add the vegetable stock, squash, and lemon zest. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat; cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the rice and squash are tender, about 12 minutes.
Stir in the lemon juice and season to taste. Serve topped with cheese.
ArepasDave:
I prepared the following for a school teacher who wanted to teach a class how to make some Venezuelan foods for a social studies class, then later adapted it to send to Carole Walberg as a thank you for recipes she sent to me. As I was sending it, I thought it might be something of interest for your International Foods List. Use it as you see fit, or whatever.
Sincerely,

VENEZUELAN FOODS
The ingredients necessary to make traditional Venezuelan foods may be very difficult to find in the United States. Much of it contains roots, such as yuca, or a type of sweet potato (called batata) and a whole variety of other things that I have never seen in the U.S. The ever-popular *arepa* is made with ground, cooked white corn meal, which may be impossible to find. As you can see, this could be a challenge. (When we lived in Connecticut, we had to go to the Cuban section of Hartford in order to find plantain bananas and black beans.)
Here are some of the most popular *criolla* dishes that are readily available in local restaurants and made by Venezuelans at home.
AREPA (corn cakes)
The *arepa* (ah-ray-pah; with the accent on the middle syllable) is the local equivalent of a hamburger and is sold in shops called an *arepera* (ah-ray-pay-rah; with the accent on the third syllable). The arepas are cooked fresh. The buyer looks in a cafeteria type hot table to choose the filling s/he desires.
Fillings include shredded cheese, stringy meat cooked in spices, chicken salad with avacado, egg scrambled with onion and green peppers, diced sausage, and a variety of other things. Perhaps the most popular filling is grated American cheese (the one that has a cheddar flavor and is somewhat soft).
The arepa is split open like a hamburger bun (by the person behind the counter), some of the steaming moist corn meal is scooped out and discarded, and the filling is added. The arepa is wrapped in a square of slick paper, like butcher paper, and handed to the purchaser to eat standing up.
Arepas are also made smaller and served in the bread basket at restaurants.
An arepa may be cooked three different ways. Boiled in water, baked in the oven, or fried in hot oil. In the country they are often cooked on a charcoal grill. Most often they are browned on the outside by cooking briefly on a hot griddle, and then placed in the oven (400 degrees) for 15 minutes.
(Remember: the corn meal that is used is pre-cooked, so the *cooking* process is only to give the arepa some color and to make it hot.) The arepa is *done* when it sounds hollow when tapped.
HOW TO MAKE AN AREPA
Take a cup of finely ground, pre-cooked, corn meal (white is preferable, but yellow is also used), add an equal amount of water, a dash of salt and a teaspoon of cooking oil.
Kneed the mixture with your hands until it is thoroughly blended into a dough.
Take a small amount of the dough and pat it into a flat, round cake, about the size of the palm of your hand, or slightly smaller. It should be about a quarter of an inch thick. Shape and press it around the edges to make it even and smooth.
Continue making more cakes until the dough is used up.
Grease a heavy skillet or griddle and place it over a low flame. It should not be too hot. When the surface is hot place the cakes, one or two at a time, on the griddle to brown on both sides. Put them in the oven to bake for about 15 minutes.
(You may also fry them, turning once, in about a quarter inch of hot oil.)
TO SERVE: Slice the arepa like a hamburger bun, discard some of the steaming meal that is still soft in the middle, fill with choice of filling, close the arepa and serve immediately.
Alternate method: make small arepas about the size of a silver dollar and fry in oil until golden brown on both sides.
Serve as bread with a meal. Have butter and cheese available.
Arepas 2from U.S.
Arepas 2
Note: This is a "quick and dirty" way to prepare arepas. They don't exactly taste like the traditional arepa, but they get close enough.
Ingredients
1 cup precooked white corn meal
1 cup water
1 T butter
salt
Bring water to a boil and add it to the corn meal, stirring thoroughly. Add the butter and salt to taste. Form into several flat tortillas (around 3mm thick) and roast over a low charcoal fire or on a wire rack over the burner of the stove. Serve hot with butter and fresh white cheese. You can also top it with tuna salad, chicken, ham and cheese, sauteed tomates and onions, beef.
Arepas 3
from NY, USA
1 cup masarepa/masarica/masaharina
( precooked fine granulated white or yellow cornmeal found at ethnic section of supermarket or ethnic grocers )
1/2 tsp salt
dash black pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 large egg
1 cup boiling water
1/4 cup or as desired shredded mozzarella cheese
( optional but the cheese adds a nice texture and flavor )
butter, margarine or olive oil to cook
Extra cheese or sour cream as accompaniment
I love arepas ( Hispanic cornmeal griddle cakes ) but prefer a spongier texture so I added egg and some baking powder to the recipe. I serve this for lunch with a salad and a cup of soup.
In a mixing bowl add cornmeal, salt, pepper, baking powder and mix well. Stir in cheese well. With a fork stir in boiling water well, then add egg and continue to mix well with a fork until dough leaves the side of the bowl. Knead dough together with your hands only to form into a ball. Pull off pieces of dough and shape into hamburger like patties, about 3 to 4 inch in diameter and about 1/2 inch thick.
In a nonstick pan or griddle heat some olive oil or butter or combination of both over medium high heat and cook arepas until golden brown on each side, turning once or twice on each side.
Serve arepas hot with extra shredded mozzarella cheese piled over the top or sour cream if desired. Even tomato sauce taste great on them.
Arepas also can be split in half with a sharp knife and made into sandwich filled with cheese and veggies.

Argentinian BBQ Sauce
This is a very traditional recipe from Argentina for BBQ You need to put together:
6 or 7 clove garlic, chopped very fine
1/2 cup parsley, chopped
1/2 cup oregano
1/4 cup red dried pepper (the Italian type)
1 cup boiling water
1/2 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup olive oil
salt to taste
black pepper to taste
Mix the ingredients in the above order and then (when it cools) to put in a closed jar (an empty mayonnaise jar is perfect for that) and store in the refrigerator for at least 12 hrs. It's perfect if you prepare the recipe one or two days before the BBQ !! It can be stored in the refrigerator for 10 or 15 days. You can put on the meat or on the chicken before cooking (where the flavor is stronger) or you can put the sauce on the meat after cooking.

Armenian Meat PiesArmenian Meat Pies (Lehmejun)
Meat pie filling :
1 pound finely ground lean beef
1 14-oz can whole tomatoes, drained and crushed
1/2 medium yellow onion, peeled and finely chopped
1/2 medium green bell pepper, cored and finely chopped
1 tsp. peeled and minced garlic
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
1 Tbs. finely chopped fresh mint leaves
1 Tbs. tomato paste
1/2 tsp. paprika
1/4 tsp. ground allspice
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Pinch cayenne pepper
Mix all together and set aside.
The Dough:
1 pkg. quick-rising yeast
1 cup warm water (about 105 degrees F)
1 Tbs. olive oil
3/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. sugar
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
Dissolve the yeast in the water in the bowl of an electric mixer. Stir in the olive oil, sugar, salt, and 1-1/2 cups of the flour. Mix the dough for about 5 minutes, until smooth. Knead in the remaining 1-1/4 cups of the flour, using the dough hook, and knead until smooth. If you do not have a powerful machine, such as a Kitchen Aid, then you should knead in this last bit of flour by hand. Knead until the dough is very smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes by machine, 20 minutes by hand.
Place the dough on a plastic counter and cover with a large stainless steel bowl. Allow to double in bulk, about 1-1/2 hours.
Punch the dough down and shape into 12 balls. Use 4 balls at a time, placing the remaining balls in the refrigerator. On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball into a 6- or 7-inch circle. Do not roll too thin.
Arrange circles on two large, lightly greased baking sheets. Allow the dough to rise slightly. Cover the entire surface with a thin layer of the meat mixture, spreading it to about 1/4 inch from the edge. Bake at 375 degrees F about 25 to 35 minutes. Do the same with the remaining balls.

In a mixing bowl add drained spinach, cream, sour cream, mozzarella. Stir well. Spoon into mixing bowl mixture from food processor. Blend all ingredients. Mixture should have a medium thick consistency.
Spray an oven proof shallow serving dish. Pour artichoke mixture into baking dish and bake for 20 - 25 minutes at 350F degrees. Artichoke dip should be a little bubbly and cheese melted through. Remove from oven and serve with your favorite heated tortilla chips, sour cream and salsa.

Artichoke Spinach Swirls1 package (17.3 ounces or 500 grams) puff pastry sheets
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well drained
1 can (14 ounces) artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
Thaw the pastry sheets at room temperature for 40 minutes or until they are easy to handle. Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Stir the mayonnaise, cheese, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, spinach and artichokes in a small bowl until the ingredients are mixed.
Unfold one pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. With the short side facing you, spread half the spinach mixture on the pastry to within an inch of the edges. Starting at the short sides, roll up like a jelly roll. Repeat with remaining pastry sheet and spinach mixture.
Cut each roll into 20 slices about 1/2-inch thick. Place two inches apart on prepared baking sheets.
Bake for 15 minutes or until golden. Remove from the baking sheet and cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature
Note: I have also done this recipe using white bread instead of puff pastry. Remove crusts and roll the slice flat with a rolling pin, spread on the filling and then roll up in a cigar shape, brush with butter and then bake till golden.
Artichokes Vinaigrette
from Chicago, IL
4 medium artichokes
Cold water
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon finely minced garlic
Dressing
½ cup olive oil
2 Tablespoons wine vinegar
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon finely minced garlic
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon white pepper

Combine all the ingredients in a jar with a lid and shake.
For the artichokes:
Trim the stems and if desired, snip off pointed ends of leaves.
Turn them upside down and pound on flat surface to open them up a little.
Place them, stem end down, side by side in a heavy pot. Add about an inch of cold water to pot.
Sprinkle the salt and garlic over the artichokes.
Turn the heat to high and bring the water to a boil. Cover the pot loosely and reduce heat to low. Cook for 40-45 minutes. They are ready when a pulled leaf is tender on the inside.

Asian-style Pasta 2Dave, made this to go with the Fish with Thai sauce recipe (I made Tofu with Thai sauce, since we had the tapenade salmon yesterday!) It was a nice balance of the sweet tofu and savory noodles.
Asian Style Pasta
1 lb pasta ( may be Asian rice or wheat noodles or even a whole wheat variety ) cooked
fresh minced ginger
fresh minced garlic
Asian toasted sesame seed oil
Light soy sauce ( opposed to dark soy sauce )
fresh chopped cilantro to garnish
Drain cooked pasta well , rinse in hot water only if sticky and drain again. Place pasta in a bowl and add several tablespoons each of the sesame seed oil and soy sauce. Add fresh minced ginger and garlic to taste. Toss all well. Place in bowl and garnish with chopped cilantro . Serve as a side with an Asian style chicken, fish , beef or tofu recipe.
Note: no salt is needed since soy sauce is fairly salty on its own. I also decorated the noodles with a ripe avocado sliced in a fan shape.
Yield 6 to 8 servings.
Asian-style Tofu with CashewsAlmond or peanut oil to stir fry, a few Tbs.
1 large red frying pepper, coarse diced
1 large green frying pepper, coarse diced

1/3 cup Thai sweet chili sauce
splashes of light soy sauce
1/2 cup unsalted cashews
chopped coriander
steamed white or brown rice
I made this put together meal one evening and it was so good we now serve it for company. The sweet chili sauce has a bit of sweet, hot and spiciness to it and it paired well with the light flavored soy sauce.
Drain tofu well and slice on the vertically into finger size thickness. Place tofu in bowl and cover with the chili sauce.
In heavy duty pan or wok over medium high heat, heat oil and cook all the vegetables except the garlic until fork tender and then add the garlic and cook and stir a minute or so.
Add the tofu with the chili sauce and cook and stir to heat well. Add splashes of the soy sauce. Lastly add the cashews and cook and stir a few more minutes. Serve with steamed white or brown rice and garnish with chopped coriander if desired.

Asparagus and Mushroom QuicheQuiche Pastry or use your own recipe
3 cups flour
4 1/2 ounces butter, chilled
2 1/2 ounces shortening, chilled
6 to 8 tablespoons ice water
Quiche Custard:
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
3 eggs, well blended
dash each of salt and pepper
Quiche Filling:
1 pound asparagus cleaned, trimmed and sliced into 1-inch lengths
1/3 pound mushrooms, sliced
1/4 cup green onions, chopped
1 teaspoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons thyme, crushed
6 ounces Swiss cheese, grated
3 ounces cheddar cheese, grated
This is a standard but delicious quiche recipe.
Pastry:
Measure the flour and put into the bowl of a food processor. Add small pieces of butter and shortening. Blend by hitting pulse button on the machine once every few seconds until it resembles coarse meal. Add water and let continue to process until the mixture rolls into a ball (about 1 minute). The pastry can be rolled into a crust immediately. A pan with a removable bottom is preferred, but not necessary. Use a 10-inch pan. Place parchment paper on the bottom of the quiche shell. Use pie weights or pinto beans sprinkled over the paper to keep the shell from rising. Bake in a preheated oven at 375 degrees for 15-18 minutes. If the shell is transparent on the bottom, it is not done. Bake until the shell is no longer transparent. Cool and remove the weights.
Custard:
Blend all custard ingredients well and set aside.
Filling:
Heat the olive oil in a saut� pan; add the asparagus, mushrooms, onions and garlic. Cook on high heat for 3-5 minutes, turning frequently to keep from burning. Add the thyme and stir well. Remove from the heat and cool. Once cooled, combine the asparagus mixture with the grated cheeses; mix well.
To assemble and bake:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix the quiche filling and custard together and pour carefully into the crust. Leave approximately 1/4-inch rim at the top. Bake for 30-40 minutes. Check for doneness by moving the pan. If the filling "wiggles", bake another 5 minutes until set. When done, let cool to warm for easier slicing.
Yield: 6 servings. Accompany with a good salad.

2 onions, peeled and sliced
1.5-2 kg. (3-4 lb) chuck steak, trimmed and chopped into small cubes

1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2-1 level teaspoon salt
few sprigs of fresh thyme or
1/2 level teaspoon dried thyme
1 stick celery, finely chopped
3 tablespoons plain flour
1 recipe shortcrust pastry
Soak the kidney in a little water with lemon juice for 1/2 hour to remove any strong flavour. Fry chopped bacon in a large heavy based saucepan, and when the fat starts to sizzle, add the onion. Fry over a low heat until the onion is soft. Add the chopped steak and finely chopped kidney. Pour in water and season with salt, pepper and thyme. Cover and simmer gently for about 1 1/2 hours.
Smooth out the flour with a little extra cold water, then stir this into the meat. Stire over the heat until thick. Pour into a deep pie dish of 2 litre (8 cups) capacity. If you own a pie funnel, place in the centre of the meat (you could substitute an upturned egg cup). Roll out the pastry, cut a few strips for a collar. Place these on the wet rim of the pie dish and brush with milk or beaten egg. Lift remaining pastry onto a rolling pin and place on top of the pie. Trim edges with a knife. Press edges together with a fork to seal. Make a few steam holes. Glaze with beaten egg or milk and bake in a hot oven for 30-40 minutes.

1 Tbsp Firm packed brown sugar
1/2 tsp Vanilla
This Australian recipe, a very moist cake, not what we'd call a pudding, has taken Down Under by storm. you'll find it on restaurant and dinner party menus across that country. This version was printed recently by the New York times.
TO PREPARE CAKE: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-inch round baking pan with sides at least 2 inches high, such as a springform pan.
Place the dates in a saucepan and cover with water (about 1-1/2 cups).
Bring to a boil, reduce to simmer and cook for 3 minutes. Add the baking soda (the mixture will foam) and set aside.
In a bowl, cream the cut up butter, sugar and eggs, adding the eggs one at a time. Gently mix in the flour, salt and vanilla. Slowly stir in the baking powder and 1/4 cup of the liquid from cooking the dates, until the cake mixture resembles thick pancake batter. Drain off remainder of date cooking liquid and discard. Stir in the dates.
Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until cooked in the center.
TO PREPARE CARAMEL SAUCE: Combine the butter, whipping cream, brown sugar and vanilla. Bring to a boil; reduce to simmer, and cook for 3 minutes.
TO SERVE: Drizzle some of the sauce over the cake as it is cooling.
Serve the rest of the sauce separately.

Austrian Sweet Cheese Crepes Baked In Custard

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
***FOR FILLING***
1/2 cup dried currants
1 cup boiling-hot water
two -- (8-ounce) packages
-- cream cheese,
-- softened
1/2 cup apricot jam
2 large eggs -- separated
1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup granulated sugar
25 Austrian crepes -- about
2 large eggs
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 cup milk
confectioners' sugar for dusting
Accompaniment: apricot caramel sauce
Make filling:
In a small heatproof bowl plump currants in boiling-hot water 15 minutes
and drain. Pat currants dry between paper towels. In a food processor
or in a bowl with an electric mixer blend together well cream cheese,
jam, yolks, zest, and vanilla. In a bowl with an electric mixer
(beaters cleaned if necessary) beat whites with a pinch of salt until
they hold soft peaks. Add sugar to whites and beat meringue until it
holds stiff peaks. Fold cheese mixture into meringue gently but
thoroughly and fold in currants.
Preheat oven to 400F. and lightly butter a 14-inch-long oval gratin
dish or other 2 1/2-quart shallow baking dish.
Working with 1 crepe at a time, spread 2 generous tablespoons filling on
each crepe, leaving a 1/2-inch border all around, and roll up crepes
jelly-roll fashion. With a sharp knife cut crepes on a diagonal in half
and arrange, overlapping slightly, in layers in baking dish. Crepes may
be prepared up to this point 4 hours ahead and chilled, covered. Bring
crepes to at room temperature before proceeding.
In a small bowl whisk together eggs, granulated sugar, and milk and pour
over crepes, letting custard seep between layers. Bake crepes in middle
of oven 30 to 35 minutes, or until puffed and custard is set, and cool
to warm.
Dust crepes with confectioners' sugar and serve with apricot caramel
sauce.

Authentic Bulgogifrom Tipperary, Ireland
3 pounds of beef, sliced (use very tender cut of beef, like top round)
1/2 cup of soy sauce
1 tablespoon of sesame oil
1 tablespoon of sesame seed
1 tablespoon of garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon of ginger powder
3 tablespoons of granulated sugar, brown sugar, or honey (any one of the three)
5 green onions, sliced (stems and all)
First slice the Roast Beef (in raw form) 1/8th of an inch thick. Once sliced then cut into little bite size chunks...
Next place all the ingredients above in a large bowl and mix with large utensil until sugar is disolved.
Add a 1/2 a cup of water to your mix, stir and let set for at least 3 hours or overnight.... This will give the meat a chance to soak in the juices.
Last but not least, place your batch of Bulgogi in a pot and cook it at a medium temperature until meat has a nice, dark brown exterior. Do not use any kind of oil in your pot. The ingredients you mixed above will do just fine....
If you would like your mix a little sweeter, add a little more sugar... If you prefer a saltier taste add some more soy sauce....

2 avocados/big ones
as much precooked and cooled black quinoa as you like per person
approx 100 g feta cheese
100 g walnuts
7 or so cherry tomatoes
fresh baby spinach
balsamic "glaze" vinegar preferably with raspberry
1. Place quinoa into boiling water (volume of water depends on how much quinoa you decide to use) and reduce heat. When cooked it should be cooled off!
2. Prepare two plates and put as much quinoa as you like on the plates
3. On top of the quinoa, place some fresh baby spinach, cherry tomates cut in two and peeled, sliced avocado.
4. Finally, decorate with feta cheese cut in small pieces. Crush the walnuts slightly and "sprinkle" over your salad.
5. Let "a lot" of the loveley balsamic "glaze" decorate the sides of the plate.
Lovely to serve with slightly toasted bread with herbed butter spread! Enjoy!
Avocado Cream Dressing
AVOCADO CREAM DRESSING
1 large avocado
1 (3 oz.) pkg cream cheese, softened
1/4 tsp. salt
2 Tbsp vinegar
1/4 cup salad oil (olive oil preferred)
Mash avocado using hand or electric mixer. Beat in cream cheese til
smooth.
Beat in salt, vinegar and oil.
Serve over tomatoes, shrimp salad. Can be used for a dip. You can
also add either grated onion or garlic powder. Try adding some fine
chopped cilantro!!
Avocado Ice CreamOK. First there is a recipe from Brazil in Barbara Karoff's paper back on latin american cuisine.
Now here is a redaction of my own:
Yield: a bit more than 1 pt.
1 pint creme anglaise made this way:
1 pt. half and half (1 cup milk + 1 cup cream)
1/2 cup sugar
Heat to a simmer. In a bowl, whisk:
3 yolks
Mix 1/3 of the hot liquid with the yolks, whisking. This warms the yolks. Now whisk the yolk mixture back into the hot liquid OFF THE FLAME. Let cool.
When cool, add flavoring:
1/4 cup dark rum
2 ripe Haas avocadoes, pureed
juice and zest of one lime.
Freeze in an ice cream freezer according to the manufacturer's instructions.
As you can see, this recipe is constructed so that it is easy to add any flavoring to the basic custard. Where it asks to add flavoring, try:
Balsamic vinegar : Add 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar. (nutty and vanilla like, but slightly tangier. No one will even guess)
Cognac: Add 1/3 cup cognac
Passionfruit: add 1/4 cup passionfruit puree.
Get the picture? INDULGE and then go out and run!

Baked Custard
Preheat oven to 300 F.
Blend together
2 cups milk
1/4 to 1/2 cup sugar or honey
1/8 tsp. salt
Add and beat well:
2 whole eggs or 4 egg yolks
(the greater the proportion of yolk, the tenderer the custard will be;
egg whites stiffen it.)
Add 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
Beat well and pour into custard cups.
Dust w/nutmeg
Place the molds in a pan of hot water on a rack.
Bake 20 to 30 minutes (to test for doneness, insert a knife near the edge of the cup. If the blade comes out clean, the custard will be solid all the way through when it is cooled.)

These can be made with or without meat. They have a different texture than fried egg rolls but it's worth it because I hate greasy egg deep frying is SO messy. These were still pretty crispy!
2 tablespoons soys sauce
1 teaspoon corn starch
4 cups finely shredded napa, chinese or regular white cabbage
1 cup mung bean sprouts
1 medium or large carrot finely grated (about 1/2 cup)
2 tablespoons finely sliced green onions
2-4 cloves finely chopped garlic, divided
1/2 lb. ground turkey or hamburger (optional--replace with about 1 cup mixture of mushrooms, more cabbage, bean sprouts and/or carrots)
2 teaspoons grated ginger root
1 lb. egg roll skins (14-16) found in produce section of grocery store
Mix soy sauce with corn starch. Set aside.
Spray non-stick skillet or wok with nonstick cooking spray or heat one tablespoon cooking oil. Over high heat stir-fry 1-2 cloves garlic and ginger for a few seconds. Add cabbage, bean sprouts, carrot and green onions. Stir fry a few minutes until cabbage is wilted. If cooking meat, remove vegetables from pan.
Add remaining 1-2 cloves garlic. Add ground turkey or hamburger. Stir fry
until no longer pink. Drain off any fat.
Add reserved soy sauce/corn starch and the vegetables. Cook 1 minute or so until thickened. Remove from heat and allow to cool a little.
TO MAKE EGG ROLLS:
Heat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a cookie sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
Turn eggroll skin so it looks like a diamond. Place 1/4 cup filling just below the center. Fold the lower point of the diamond over the filling tucking it under the filling. Fold the left and right corners over that. Tightly roll the egg roll. Moisten the top corner with a bit of water to prevent it from unrolling. VOILA! Repeat til you run out of skins or filling. (Note: Keep the eggroll skins in their wrapper or cover with a moist towel so they don't dry out.) Should make at least 14 egg rolls.
Place eggrolls seam side down on the pan. They can be close together but not
touching. Lightly spray the egg rolls with the nonstick cooking spray. Bake 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
Enjoy!

Baked Fun Stuffed Bluefish
I currently live in the South Eastern part of the United States.
I learned this one working in a Seafood Restaurant. Bluefish is a
good sized, (5 to 15 lbs.)salt water fish. Any large oily fish could be
used (bass, roughy or even shark) with good results.
Baked Fun Stuffed Bluefish
(2) large fillets of bluefish (or any other oily fish)
(2) tubes of "Ritz" brand crackers
(1) cup of unseasoned dried bread crumbs
(1/4) cup of melted butter
(1/4 to 1/2) cup of Rhine wine (Liebfraumilch or other) to wet stuffing
Combine the crackers, bread crumbs, salt and pepper in a large plastic bag.
Beat the crackers (this is the fun part) until they become consistent
crumbs. Slowly add melted butter to the mixture, and then the wine. Do Not
get too moist. The mixture should be damp, but should fall apart after
squeezing it.
Heat oven to 350 F degrees. Arrange one fillet in bottom of glass baking
dish. Cover with stuffing mixture and add second fillet on top.
Bake until fish is flaky, sometime between 45 minutes and an hour.
Let me know what you think.

Baked Potato Soupfrom New Jersey, USA
Baked Potato Soup
This past New Year's Eve day I was with a few friends in New York City. One of the first things we did when we got there was eat at Houlihan's Bar and Restaurant at the train station. One of the soups they served there was "Baked Potato Soup" which most of us ordered and those who did enjoyed it! So, I did some searching on the internet and was lucky enough to find a similar recipe at http://www.cafecreosote.com . The following is the regular version of the soup -- a lighter version is available by clicking here.
4 large baking potatoes
2/3 cup butter
2/3 cup flour
1 1/2 quarts milk
1 cup sour cream
4 green onions, chopped
5 ounces cheddar cheese, grated
salt and pepper
2 cups bacon, crisped and cooked
Heat oven to 450F degrees and bake the potatoes until fork tender (1 hour). Melt butter in a medium saucepan. Slowly blend in flour with a wire whisk until thoroughly blended, making a roux. Gradually add milk to the butter-flour mixture, whisking constantly. Whisk in salt and pepper and simmer over low heat, stirring constantly.
Cut potatoes in half, scoop out the meat and set aside. Chop half the potato peels and discard the remainder. When milk mixture is very hot, whisk in potato. Add green onion sand potato peels. Whisk well, add sour cream. Heat thoroughly. Add cheese a little at a time until all is melted in. Serve. Top with crumbled bacon. Serves 6.

Baked Squash Italiano
Just in time for the fall squash harvest, here's --
BAKED SQUASH ITALIANO
1 lb. any squash (winter or summer; zucchini, butternut, pattypan, even
pumpkin)
2 T olive oil
1 t dried oregano
1 t dried rosemary, crushed
1 t pepper (or to taste)
1 t salt (or to taste)
1/3 c freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
If using acorn or pumpkin squash, peel. Squash with edible skin should
be left unpeeled.
Wash squash and discard seeds and strings. Cut into uniform pieces; one
and a half-inch chunks for a round squash, or long wedges for zucchini.
Oil an ovenproof baking pan lightly and put the squash in it, skin side
down.
Sprinkle the squash with the olive oil and then with the dried herbs,
pepper and salt, and Parmesan. Put in oven and bake until pieces are
soft in the middle (about half an hour for zucchini).
This is good with any Italian meal; we often have it with pork roast or
chops.

Baklava 2
from Charleston, South Carolina
Hardware
Big cookie sheet with a solid raised edge (14" x 22" or larger would be ideal, but you can use 14" x 11").
Brush (or brushes, if you have help) for buttering the sheets of filo dough.
Filo Dough
The Filo Dough I use is "Fillo" brand--it's at Publix. It's a one-pound package, frozen. It consists of 20 sheets--each sheet is 14x22 inches; the finished sheet of baklava is 14" x 11" inches. It needs to be thawed at least five hours before you make the Baklava; keep that in mind.
Nut Filling
1 lb roasted, unsalted walnuts, coarsley chopped or ground.
2/3 cup sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/3 tsp ground cloves
Since the chopped walnuts I buy are pretty big pieces, I stick the walnuts in a blender and chop them up--leaving some big pieces around, but mostly chopped pretty fine. I have to put them in the blender in 1/4 lb batches to get them to chop right at all. Then I hand mix the nuts and all the other ingredients in a bowl.
Syrup
1 cup honey (I use orange blossom honey, and recommend it highly)
3/4 cup water
1/4 cup sugar
2 tbl lemon juice
2 small pieces of lemon peel
1 inch piece of cinnamon stick.
Combine all of the above in a saucepan, and let simmer for 10 minutes. Let cool. Discard peels and cinnamon stick.
Assembly
Parts List:
1 lb filo dough
3/4 lb butter
Nut Filling (above)
Syrup (above)
Melt the butter. Unwrap the filo dough--fold it in half, like the pages of a book (the Fillo brand comes like this already). Turn down one "page" of filo dough onto the cookie sheet and brush it with butter (careful, the pages are delicate stuff; if they tear a little, it'll still be fine, really). Keep the rest of the pages covered with wax paper (comes in the package), plastic wrap, or a dry kitchen towel while you butter the turned down page. Continue turning down pages and buttering them until 1/3 have been used (13 pages or so for the 20-sheet filo dough; since it's folded, you really have 40 pages). Once you have 1/3 buttered, cover the top of the buttered pages with half of the nut filling. Then turn down and butter another 1/3 of the pages. Once that second 1/3 is buttered, put the rest of the nut filling on top of them. Continue turning over pages and buttering them until they're all turned over, buttered, and lying on top of the stack. With a sharp knife, score the pastry into diamonds, squares, and rectangles. I find having two people butter the baklava makes things go a lot faster (it can easily take a couple of hours by yourself).
Baker at 350 degrees Fahrenheit until puffed, crisp, and deep golden-brown. Remove from oven and immediately pour cooled syrup over the baklava (this is why you need a solid raised edge on your cookie sheet). You're supposed to let it stand four hours, but nobody does this. When cool, cut through to the bottom layer on those scored cuts.
Enjoy! Diet food, it isn't.

Bambachkis
These are always a big hit at my Canadian aunt's dinner parties.
BAMBACHKIS - (Emphasis on the first syllable)
1 egg
12 oz package semi-sweet chocolate bits
1 cup icing sugar
roasted almonds
marachino cherries
crushed almonds
cocoa
Toasted coconut
Melt chocolate. Stir till mixed and melted. Break egg into pot. Stir with
spatula till mixed. Add sugar slowly stirring. When thick, roll chocolate
into small balls large enough to accomodate an almond and a cherry in the
center of each chocolate ball. Roll in crushed nuts, cocoa or roasted cocunut.
NOTE: If you use a larger egg, you may need to alter the amount of icing
sugar. Play it by ear to see. Also if the chocolate mixture appears to be
thick enough and you still have sugar left - quit.
To keep working quickly - have bowls of cherries, almonds, cocoa and coconut
ready. You can keep a bowl of ice water ready to dip hands into so
chocolate didn't melt when working with it.

Banana Bread 2
This recipe was from an unknown source. I modified it by changing the 1/2
cup margarine to 1/2 cup applesauce because applesauce is less fat than
margarine. I also doubled all the spices and used egg whites instead of
eggs. Since this recipe calls for 2 1/2 cups flour it can be made in a
variety of pans.

Banana French Toast
from NY, USA
4 thick slices day old Italian, French or egg bread
1 very ripe banana ( brown )
1/4 cup flour
1 tsp vanilla
1 Tbs. sugar
1/4 cup milk or as needed
oil to fry
Powdered sugar ( optional )
I used to make this when my girls were little but its a nice recipe for brunch or company fare.
It's also a good way to use leftover bananas
This recipe tastes best when prepared with bread other than the store bought thin white bread.
In a blender place banana, flour, sugar and vanilla. Blend smooth and via feed tube add enough milk to make a batter consistency. Dip both sides of the bread in the batter to coat evenly. Fry in hot oil or butter, turning once to brown each side nicely. Watch carefully as this tends to burn easily. Drain on paper toweling and serve immediately. Dust with powdered sugar if desired. Serves 2. Multiply recipe as needed.
Banana Fritters Title: Banana Fritters (Indonesian)
Categories: Pastries, Filo
Yield: 4 servings
THE ART OF FILO COOKBOOK
Use Short Roll
1/4 lb Filo
Light vegetable oil - for deep frying
FOR BRUSHING FILO
Butter, melted
1 Egg, beaten
FILLING
2 Medium-ripe bananas
TOPPING
Sugar and cinnamon mixed together
Freshly whipped cream
TO ASSEMBLE
Cut the bananas in half crosswise for the filling.
Follow the folding instructions for the Short Roll. Use your finger to seal the edge of the filo with a little of the beaten egg. This prevents the fritters from coming open when they are deep-fried.
Gently place the fritters in very hot oil, a few at a time, and deep-fry on both sides until golden brown.
Remove and drain excess oil on a towel. Sprinkle the fritters with the sugar and cinnamon mix. Serve immediately with the freshly whipped cream.

a small ball in cold water.(temperature on candy thermometer unknown)
Remove from heat. Add butter. Cook quickly by setting the pan in cold
water. When luke-warm, beat mixture until creamy. Pour mixture into
slightly greased pan. Chill until firm. Cut into squares and serve.

Bananas are my secret for a most flavorful meatloaf:
Combine all ingredients and pack into a large loaf pan or a 9 inch square pan. Bake 350F about one hour. Pour off any liquid that accumulates in the pan. Serve as you would any meatloaf-hot or cold. When cold the meat slices well and the bananas keep the meat moist plus add a nice subtle flavor.Serves 8 ...

2 medium-size green plantains, peeled, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch slices
2 cups salted water
In a large, heavy skillet, heat the oil over medium until a light haze forms above it. Add as many plantain slices as you can without crowding the pan, and brown about 2 minutes on each side.
As they brown, transfer them to paper towels to drain.
On a cutting board, use a spatula to press each slice into a flat round about 1/4-inch thick and 2 inches in diameter. Dip the rounds in salted water and shake off the excess. Heat the oil and fry the rounds again, about 1 minute on each side. Drain on paper towels and serve at once.

Barbecue Sauce
Since it looks like we're going to see some flaming here for a while, I figure we might as well take advantage of it and do some barbecuing. Found this one somewhere in the Mysterious Web (mysterious to me, at any rate) and I think it should be just about right for the occasion.....

BARBECUE SAUCE (CHEF PAUL PRUDHOMME)
Serving Size : 5
Categories : Cajun Sauces
-----SEASONING MIX-----
1 1/2 ts Black pepper
1 t Salt
1 t Onion powder
1 t Garlic powder
1/2 ts White pepper
1/2 ts Ground cayenne pepper
-----MAIN INGREDIENTS-----
1/2 lb Bacon, minced
1 1/2 c Chopped onions
2 c Pork, beef or chicken stock
1 1/2 c Bottled chili sauce
1 c Honey
3/4 c Dry roasted pecans, chopped
5 tb Orange juice (1/2 orange)
1 x Rind & pulp from 1/2 orange
2 tb Lemon juice (1/4 lemon)
1 x Rind & pulp from 1/4 lemon
2 tb Minced garlic
1 t Tabasco sauce
4 tb Unsalted butter
Combine the seasoning mix ingredients in a small bowl and set aside. In a 2-quart saucepan fry the bacon over high heat until crisp. Stir in onions, cover pan, and continue cooking until onions are dark brown, about 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the seasoning mix and cook about 1 minute. Add the stock, chili sauce, honey, pecans, orange juice, lemon juice, orange and lemon rinds and pulp, garlic, and Tobasco, stirring well. Reduce heat to low; continue cooking about 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove orange and lemon rinds. Continue cooking and stirring about 15 minutes more to let the flavors marry. Add the butter and stir until melted.
Remove from heat; let cool about 30 minutes, then pour into a food processor or blender and process until pecans and bacon are finely chopped. This sauce may be used to barbecue chicken, pork or ribs. Makes about 5 cups.
Barbecue Tempeh
I have no idea what this should be called. My wife made it by experimenting trying to reproduce something she had somewhere. It was so good I asked her for the recipe. She had to guess at it because she actually made it by experimentation and guestimating. We both *almost always* cook that way. (Okay, "vegan" is an all or none thing, like being "saved", but some absolutes do get modified in common usage. BTW, this dish is strictly vegan, as far as I know.) All quantities are approximate and may be varied according to taste.
For sautéing:
2 medium onions, chopped
1/4 (or more) teaspoons cumin (ground, though seeds might be an interesting variation)
salt
black pepper
oil
10 oz. tempeh
For sauce:
1/2 cup peanut butter (this is a rough estimate)
1/4 cup cain syrup
1/2 cup catsup
1/2 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup barbeque sauce
1/4 teaspoon fresh chili paste (e.g. "Sambal Oelek", see comments)
1. Start by sauteing onions in oil with cumin, salt, and pepper.
2. Add tempeh, cut into big bite sized pieces.
3. Continue until onions are done and tempeh is brown.
4. In a separate container mix sauce ingredients. The sauce should be thick.
5. Add sauce to frying pan or wok and simmer about 10 minutes.
Comments: The chili paste is the kind found in oriental groceries, made from red chilis and quite hot. "Sambal Oelek" may be a brand name. If you find the real thing and you don't have an asbestos tounge be careful. A little goes a long way. Its main function in this dish it to make it spicey hot. Cayenne pepper might work as a substitute. (Adjust amout accordingly.)
A mild flavored peanut butter with chunks of peanuts would be best. The peanut butter is used as a base. Its flavor is effectively masked by the other ingredients.
Barbecue-style Tofu1 container extra firm tofu
marinade:
1/3 cup oil ( olive )
3 Tbs creamy peanut butter
1 tsp salt
1 Tbs paprika ( smoked paprika is good here too , but use much less ! )
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tsp salt
Your favorite barbecue sauce, bottled or home made
Or
Mayonnaise
This is very tasty and if you enjoy tofu I hope you will like this as much as I do.
Remove tofu from carton and drain very well. Slice tofu into finger thick slices. Combine marinade ingredients well with whisk and coat tofu evenly and let stand at room temperature one hour. Lay tofu slices with marinade on a baking pan and bake 400F for about 20 minutes and carefully turn over and bake another 20 minutes , so each side is somewhat browned. Remove pan from oven, spread on your favorite barbecue sauce and heat through 5 to 10 minutes in the oven.
Yield: 4 servings
Note: I personally like to smear mayonnaise over the tofu when it comes out of the oven. The tofu is firm on the outside with a creamy center

Barm BrackBarm Brack
I have TWO derivations of this name and have NO idea which is correct:
1. In Northern Ireland and in the Republic, brack is the Celtic word for salt and is used to mean "bread". Barm brack is leavened bread, the word, barm meaning yeast.
2. The term barmbrack for an Irish fruit loaf or cake does not derive from barm or leaven. It is a corruption of the Irish word aran breac (Speckled Bread).
If anyone can straighten out which definition is correct, please let me know. I also read that the Irish traditional serve barmbrak at Halloween with the ring, silver coin and a button baked inside (the button signifying "single blessedness" whatever that might be). Frankly, I doubt all of these "bake it inside" stories...if they were true, Irish dentists would ALWAYS be busy on the day after Halloween, because alot of Irish folk would have broken teeth after having coins and rings stuck in every item on the table!
Barmbrak
2 1/2 cups mixed dry fruit (currants, dark and golden raisins)
1 cup boiling black tea
1 egg
1 tsp. mixed spice (equal amounts of cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, allpice, and mace)
4 tsp. marmalade
1 heaping cup superfine granulated sugar
2 1/2 cups self-rising flour
Place the dried fruit in a bowl, cover with the hot tea and let soak overnight. The next day, add the remaining ingredients and mix well. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Pour the batter into a greased 7" square pan and bake in the center of the oven for 1 1/2 hours. Let cool in the pan on a wire rack. Slice and serve buttered with tea.

Barszczfrom Chicago, IL
Clear Beetroot Soup - Poland
The following is the simple modern way:
Take 1 quart bottle (1 liter) of prepared Jewish Borscht (Manishewitsch or similar), Pour into saucepan and mix with contents of 10½oz. (300g) can of Beef Consommé, bring to a boil and immediately turn off heat. Taste and, if desired, to reduce acidity, add 1 teaspoon sugar; to increase acidity add 1 teaspoon vinegar. Pour on to plates in which uszka have already been placed. Use 4 to 6 uszka per plate. Above quantity is sufficient for 6 servings.
Here is the old-fashioned traditional way:
A few weeks ahead of time, prepare fermented beetroot juice, as follows:
2¼ pounds (1kg.) fresh, sweet beetroots,
2 quarts (2L) boiled water,
1 piece of rye bread crust
Wash and scrape the beetroots, cut into thin slices, place in large jar.
Pour boiled water into jar, throw in bread crust, leave jar open or covered only with thin gauze and place in warm place.
On Christmas Eve, prepare soup as follows:
2 large sweet beetroots,
1 celery cut in small pieces,
1 onion cut into small pieces,
1 lb (450g) mushrooms,
1 lb (450g). butter,
1 teaspoon salt,
1 piece garlic,
some parsley,
Boil in water until beetroot just becomes soft.
Then, pour into another saucepan through sieve. Retrieve beetroots and mushrooms.
Mushrooms may be used for making uszka.
Beetroots are grated fine and returned to the soup.
Shortly before serving, Add 1 pint (½L) of fermented beetroot juice. Keep hot, but do not allow to boil as this will destroy clear red color, serve in plates over uszka.
NOTE. On other occasions than Christmas Eve, Barszcz may be served with cream as follows: Take 2 tablespoons of Beetroot soup (made either way), mix completely with 2 tablespoons of sour cream, then add to soup and stir thoroughly.

Basic Beet Borscht
from New York, USA
1 bunch beets ( about 4 medium )
5 cups water
1 tsp citric acid ( sour salt )
Fresh lemon juice or white vinegar
white granulated sugar
powdered chicken bouillon to taste
salt and pepper to taste
Sour cream
Hot boiled potato
Chopped chives
Cut stems/leaves off beets but leave on skins and cover with water ( add a splash of vinegar so beets remain red ) and cook about an hour until tender. Drain and peel off skins ( slips off easily ) under running cold water. Coarse shred beets by hand into a soup pot. Cover with the 5 cups of water. Add citric acid, vinegar ( or lemon juice ) along with sugar to make a sweet and sour taste as desired. Add a bit of powdered chicken bouillon if desired.
Normally equal quantities of sweet and sour OR 1 part sugar to 1/2 part sour should give the desired taste you want.
Heat and stir to dissolve sugar and let soup simmer a few minutes to blend flavors. Remove from heat and cool and chill well.
To serve one may stir in some sour cream into the soup ( it becomes a vivid pink!!) or just dollop sour cream onto individual portions.
Sometimes a hot boiled potato is placed into the cold soup too. Either way, sprinkle with chives. Serves 4 to 6.

Serving Size : 2 Preparation Time :0:15
Categories : Breakfast
1 tsp olive oil
6 egg whites -- whipped
1 tbsp water
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
Heat oil over high heat in a skillet with a rounded bottom and sloping sides. In a mixing bowl, whip egg whites, water, salt, and black pepper together, using a fork. Pour egg mixture into skillet. Cook over moderately high heat until the bottom is set. Using a heatproof spatula, move the cooked mixture to the center and allow the uncooked mixture to flow into the bottom of the pan. When cooked, the omelet should be barely brown on the bottom, soft and moist in the center. Spoon the filling down the center of the omelet (*see note). Using a spatula and starting from the handle side, fold one third of the omelet over the center. With a heated serving plate in one hand, grasp the skillet in the other, palm up and tilt so the omelet rolls over onto the plate.

Basic Phyllo Doughfrom US
This is definitely easier to buy but there are those of us who like to try anything once!
1/4 cup water
2 cups flour
4 teaspoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
Sift the flour with the salt. Make a well in the middle of the flour. In the well put the water and the olive oil. Work the dough until it hangs well together. Dust flour on a table or board. Kneed the dough for about 5-7 minutes. The dough should be smooth and not stick to the board. Roll the dough out to a big rectangle. Lay a damp towel over it and let it rest for about 15 minutes. Flour your hands and work the dough from the middle outwards until you have the dough stretched to about 3 ft by 3 ft (1meter x 1meter) Cut the dough with a sharp knife or pizza cutter to the desired sheet size. Continue with the recipe that requires the phyllo dough.

Dried fruit or fruit and wild rice stuffing. (You can completely stuff the goose with dried fruit including appricots, raisins prunes, etc or make any other rice and fruit stuffing.
Take a fresh or completely thawed goose. Puncture many holes in the skin. (I used a corn holder.) Puncture both top and bottom of goose.
Preheat oven to 375. Place unstuffed goose in rosting pan with large area for catching grease. Roast approx 45 min to an hour until slightly brown. Watch carefully This is only the first step in cooking so you don't want it to burn. You can optionally turn the goose over to brown both sides.
Remove the goose from the oven. Allow the goose to cool so it can be handled comfortably. Drain the pan. Pat down the goose with paper towels to remove the grease. Pat both inside and outside. Stuff the goose. Baste with the OJ/honey sauce.
Preheat oven to 325 or slightly cooler. Place goose on a roasting pan back in the oven. Cook goose using the rule of about 25 minutes per pound but subtract 45 minutes because of the cooking done in the first step. Rebaste goose while cooking every half hour. It is not necessary to turn the goose over in this step. When done drumsticks should separate fairly easily from the goose. Use same rules for doneness as other poultry.

Basil and Garlic Potato Bakefrom www.IDunno4Recipes.com
2 TBS chopped fresh basil
3 TBS Olive Oil
1/2 tsp pepper
6 garlic cloves, minced
2 lbs. potatoes, sliced with peel
1 can chicken broth
Place sliced potatoes in a 9x13 inch pan. Add chicken broth and other ingredients. Toss well to coat. Bake at 325 for 60-75 min. or until potatoes are tender and liquid is absorbed.
Basil Chicken
>I have fresh basil growing in my garden, and I am looking for recipes that I can use it in. (Especially ones that will focus on its flavor. Vegi. or chicken recipes are prefered.)
Glad to know that someone has fresh basil from their garden! Here's a wonderful way to have it with chicken.
Stew chicken pieces for 20-30 min. with following ingredients, and add a handful of basil leaves (leave the soft stems in) for the last 15 min. Save some leaves for the last minute for color.
- 1 lb chicken (if you don't chop it up, for example, leaving drum sticks as they are, slice a few deap openings)
- water to cover 2/3 of the chicken in your pot/wok
- a few slices of ginger (dried, fresh)
- 1-2 Tbsp dark sesami oil (light sesami oil won't have the flavor)
- 6-8 Tbsp soy sauce
- 2-3 Tbsp sugar (ice cube sugar, brown, red, white...... anything)
- 1-2 Tbsp cooking wine
Turn the chicken a few times in the stewing process.
After chicken is done, if too much sauce remain, thicken by turning up the heat. The sauce is GRRRRREAT on rice.
P.S. If you use a wok, stir fry ginger in sesami oil first, add chicken, stir fry, then, add water and the remaining ingredients.
Good luck!

Basque Roasted Tomato Soup2 pounds large plum tomatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 small dried chiles, broken, up to 2 or 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
2 onions, very finely chopped
2 large clove garlic, crushed and peeled
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika, preferably spanish
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano or 1 teaspoon dried oregano
28 ounces italian plum tomatoes, well drained and chopped, reserve liquid
6 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth, defatted
salt & freshly ground black pepper to taste
8 large shrimp, optional, 1/2 pound
2 tablespoons snipped fresh chives or slivered basil leaves
Preheat oven to 225 degrees. Lightly oil a large baking sheet with sides or coat it with nonstick spray. Cut fresh tomatoes in half lengthwise. Arrange, cut-side down, in a single layer on prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil and sprinkle with sugar. Roast for 3 hours, or until very soft and wrinkled. Let cool and set aside.
Meanwhile, in a dutch oven or soup pot, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil and dried chilies (or crushed red pepper) over medium-low heat. Add onions and garlic and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Add paprika and oregano and cook, stirring, for 1 minute more. Add canned tomatoes and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer, partially covered, for 25 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool. Strain soup into a bowl; transfer solids to a food processor or blender. Puree until smooth, adding a little broth if necessary. Return puree and broth to pot. Whisk to combine.
Using a food mill, puree reserved roasted tomatoes. (Alternatively, slip off skins, puree in a food processor and strain through a coarse sieve.) Add puree to soup. (If the soup is too thick, add a little of the reserved canned tomato liquid.) Season with salt and pepper. If using shrimp, cook in a large saucepan of boiling salted water until they just turn pink, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain and let cool. Peel shrimp and cut in half lengthwise. Ladle into warmed soup bowls and garnish with shrimp, if using, and chives (or basil).
Serve immediately.

Milk or water
dash of white or brown sugar if sweeter taste desired

Bauernbrot1 1/2 ounces compressed fresh yeast
1 quart warm water
2 tablespoons white sugar
4 cups all-purpose flour
8 cups white rye flour
4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons salt
1 teaspoon white sugar
2 cups warm water
First, make the sourdough starter. Crumble the yeast into a large bowl. Whisk in 1 quart of warm water and 2 tablespoons of sugar until dissolved. The water should be just slightly warmer than body temperature. Gradually whisk in 4 cups of flour, continuing to mix until all lumps are gone. Cover with a dish towel, and let sit for 24 hours at room temperature.
After 24 hours, stir well, cover, and let stand another 24 hours. It will be a thin, light-colored sourdough which is then ready to use.
In a large bowl, stir together the rye flour, 4 cups of all-purpose flour, salt and sugar. Mix in the sourdough starter using a wooden spoon, then stir in 2 cups of warm water. I transfer the dough to a heavy duty stand mixer to mix the first couple of minutes, then it can't handle the heavy dough and I start using my hands by turning the dough out onto a floured surface. A clean countertop works best. Knead the dough, adding a few tablespoons of water at a time if it is too stiff. Fold the dough over, pull it apart, whatever you can do to get it kneaded up good. Total kneading time should be 15 to 20 minutes to get a smooth dough. Place the dough in a large bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled, 1 to 2 hours.
When the dough has risen, scrape it out of the bowl and back onto a floured surface. Knead for about 5 minutes. This is important to activate the gluten. Shape into 1 or 2 long loaves. Place on baking sheets, and let rise for about 1 hour, or until your finger leaves an impression when you poke the bread gently.
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Bake the bread for about 45 minutes for 2 loaves, 1 1/2 hours if you made one big loaf. Don't worry if the crust is dark. The bread will be delicious and so will the crust. Cool completely before cutting.

Being snowbound sometimes brings out the creativity in us all..... I just
happened to plan a dinner of Sauerkraut and sausage one night last week,
only to discover that the smoked sausage had already been cooked and eaten
and there was only 1 can a sauerkraut in the house!
You ask, 'If you're da cook, how'd ya fergit ya cooked it?'
Well, when you live in a household of 4 adults; 3 out of 4 that cook; 2
out of four that work; and sleeping habits that are as varied as the
changing seasons.... Its' simple! Ya digs deeper in da pantry and does with
whatcha got!!!
While this may not be original cuisine in its entirety, it sure was a
first for me:
The LyonsDen SDFAC Dinner
"SDFAC = Something Different For A Change"
1 pkg. (12 oz) Frozen Hot Dogs - any favorite brand will do
1 can Chili Beans w/meat sauce
2 cans Pork n Beans
1 can (6 oz.) Tomato Paste
1 small onion finely diced
2 TBS. vegetable oil
Dashes and splashes of the following:
Worcestershire Sauce
Liquid Hickory Smoke
Garlic powder
Onion powder
The frozen hot dogs went into the microwave long enough to get a
knife through them to slice lengthwise and then cut crosswise into
small 'cubits' (g)
Heat the oil and toss in the diced onion, simmering till transluscent;
Toss in the dogs and add the cans of beans (minus the cans, silly!)
Heat thoroughly, adding the splashes/dashes of items mentioned above and
then the tomato paste. You may need to add a small amt. of
water if the mixture looks Too thick. But be careful, you really want a
consistency somewhere paralleling that of sloppy joes.
The final product can be tossed over bread, openfaced similar to sloppy
joes; or poured into a bowl and served with crackers ala a 'different' kind
of 'chili'~
As far adding the seasonings and sauce/flavoring without measurements,
this is geared to individual tastes. When it smells good - stop adding stuff!
Surprisingly enough - the concoction, though viewed somewhat skeptically,
was finished off in short order by all on hand.
With wondrous cries of "How did you do that"? and "Can we have it again"?
ringing in my ears I figured I'd best get it down on paper - or floating out
in space as it were, where I could reach out and grab it again in a pinch
for "What's for dinner tonight, honey?"

Beef and Mustard Casserole
A yummy stew - falls apart on the fork, easy to make and tender as they come
- also better the next day. We had it two nights ago. We love it!
Original main ingredient was veal, but I found veal dried out too fast so
substituted the stewing meat. We have something called cross-cut blade
steak here, which I use and it's perfect! - Use your equiivalent tender beef.
BEEF AND MUSTARD CASSEROLE
2 LBS tenderest stewing beef - cubed
2 tbsp flour
one ounce clarified butter (I use olive oil)
8 ounces mushrooms sliced
1 cup meat stock
2 tbsp dijon mustard
bunch of fresh herbs tied in a bundle
salt and pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 325. Tossed cubed beef in flour. (I put the whole mess into
a plastic bag) Brown in olive oil/butter. Place in a casserole dish. Toss
mushrooms in pan until lightly cooked and add to casserole with combined
meat stock and mustard. Stir. Scrape pan and add to casserole. Add salt and
pepper. Place tied herbs on top of meat
Cover and cook for two hours, stirring once during cooking. Remove herbs
before serving.

4 pounds bone-in beef shank, cut into 3 inch pieces or beef short ribs
2 scallions, cut into 2 inch lengths
1/4 cup chopped fresh lemon grass ( I used 1 teaspoon lemon juice)(see note)
6 sprigs fresh cilantro
2 inch piece ginger root ,crushed
3 star anise
1 teaspoon roasted Sichuan peppercorns
1/4 cup brandy
6 quarts water
Heat the oil in a large stock pot and add the onion. Saute over high heat
until soft and lightly browned, 2-3 minutes. add the beef shanks or short
ribs and brown well to sear, about 5 minutes. Add the scallions, lemon juice,
cilantro, gingerroot, star anise and Sichuan peppercorns to the stock pot.
Cook for about 3 minutes to release the flavors. Add the brandy. Cook ,
reduce the heat to medium and cook for about 5 minutes. Add the water.
Increase the heat to high and bring the liquid to a boil. Reduce the heat
until the liquid is at a simmer and cook, uncovered, for at least 2 1/2
hours, skimming any froth or scum from the surface as the stock cooks.
remove the beef bones from the stock. Strain the stock through a fine
sieve, discard the solids and skim off the fat. The stock will keep in the
refidgerator for up to a week or in the freezer for up to 3 months
Note: The tough lower green parts of the lemon grass may be used because the
stock will be strained. Chopped leek may be substituted.

Beef Croquettes and Bitter BallsBeef Croquettes and Bitter Balls
2 1/4 cups very finely minced lean beef
1 carrot, chopped finely
1 tbsp. finely chopped parsley
8 cups boiling water
1 1/2 cups margarine
2 1/4 cups flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp. white pepper
melted butter
6 egg whites
2 cups fine dry breadcrumbs
In a large saucepan, place the meat, carrot, parsley and water. Bring to a boil. Once the mixture is boiling reduce the heat and simmer for 1 1/2 hours.
Meanwhile, heat the margarine in a Dutch oven. Add the flour, salt and spices and stir until you have a roux. Heat and stir for 2 more minutes and then let the roux cool down.
Once the meat mixture is done, reheat the roux and stir in the meat mixture gradually. Stir vigorously and bring to a low boil. Once all the meat mixture is added, maintain a low boil for 15 minutes.
Spread the meat mixture on cookie sheets with sides no higher than1/2". Brush with a bit of melted butter to prevent a crust from forming. Cool overnight in the refrigerator.
The next day, make cylindrical shapes (croquettes) or smallish balls (bitter balls) from the stiff mixture. Roll the cylinders through the breadcrumbs, then through the egg whites and again through the breadcrumbs, then freeze.
Place the frozen croquettes in preheated oil and deep-fry about 5 minutes or until they are golden brown. ( I have deep-fryed them ahead of time and reheated in the oven . . . this avoids the smell when you have a house full of guests).
Yield: approximately 30 croquettes
Can be served with Dutch-style coarse mustard.
This recipe comes from the cookbook "Let's Go Dutch Again" by Johanna Bates and Jan Walrabenstein.

Beef in Guinness
from Tipperary, Ireland
I found this recipe just in time for St. Patrick's Day.
2 1/2 pounds/ 1 kilogram shin of beef
2 large onions
6 medium carrots
2 tablespoons seasoned flour
a little fat or beef dripping
1/2 cup dry cider
1/2 pint/ 250 milliliters/ 1 cup Guinness with water
sprig of parsley
(serves four)
Cut the beef into chunks and peel and slice the onions and carrots. Toss the beef in the flour and brown quickly in hot fat. Remove the beef and fry the onions gently until transparent. Return the beef and add the carrots and the liquid. Bring just to the boil, reduce the heat to a very gentle simmer, cover closely and cook for 1-1/2 to 2 hours. Check that the dish does not dry out, adding more liquid if necessary. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve with plainly boiled potatoes.
NOTE: The Guinness in this recipe has the same function as the wine in Coq Au Vin - the acid and moisture combined with the long, slow cooking help tenderize the tough but flavorsome meat.
Beef MarinadeDave,
Here's a good marinade for especially flank steak on BBQ. You can use it on other beef cuts.
INGREDIENTS;
1 BOTTLE FRENCH DRESSING
5 TBS WORSTERSHIRE SAUCE
3 TBS RED WINE VINEGAR
1/4 CUP OIL (Vegetable or Olive)
3 to 4 CLOVES GARLIC
1 TSP SALT
PINCH OF PEPPER
This is the marinade and the basting sauce ( while on the grill).
1-2 1/2 LB FLANK STEAK
SLIGHTLY CUT LINES INTO THE STEAK and then again CROSSWIDTH; DO the same for the other side. Mix the ingredients above and pour over steak in a flat baking dish. Refrigerate over night; at least turn steak over once while marinating.
Get the coals the way you want them, pop on the steak, baste with it's marinade; cook it to your liking!
If you want, you can still use that sauce poured on your steak for a gravy.
I created this marinade and always had praise when company came over for a BBQ and had this recipe .
Dave, what do you think?

Beef Tataki with Ponzu Sauce
from US
from Cooking.Com
For the Beef:
2-pound whole, trimmed beef tenderloin (filet), chilled
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 tablespoons sweet soy sauce (optional, available at Asian markets)
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup mirin (sweet Japanese cooking wine) or sherry
3 green onions, white and light green parts only, thinly sliced
2 large cloves garlic, thinly sliced
Zest of 1 lemon, removed in strips with a vegetable peeler
For the Ponzu Sauce:
4 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons turbinado, raw, or brown sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon ginger juice (see Note)
2 tablespoon very finely snipped fresh chives
FOR THE BEEF: Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. Be sure to let it reach its temperature before roasting the beef. Rub all sides of the beef with the vegetable oil, then rub in the soy sauce, if using, and season with the pepper. Place on a rack over a roasting pan and sear in the hot oven for 15 minutes. The internal temperature, in the very center, should be 115 degrees F. Immediately transfer the roasting rack to a tray (to catch the juices; do not keep over the roasting pan or the beef will continue to cook).
Set in a cool place to stop the cooking as quickly as possible. In a heavy-duty resealable plastic bag large enough to hold the beef, combine the soy sauce, mirin, green onions, garlic, and lemon zest. As soon as the beef is cool enough to handle, transfer to the bag and refrigerate for at least 6 hours and up to 24 hours, turning over occasionally.
TO MAKE THE PONZU SAUCE: In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, lemon and lime juices, and ginger juice. Keep whisking until the sugar dissolves.
About 45 minutes before you plan to serve, place the bag in the freezer (this will firm the beef and make it easier to cut even slices). After 20 minutes, remove the beef from the bag and discard the marinade. Slice crosswise with a very sharp knife into 1/4-inch slices, keeping them to an even thickness if possible. Fan the slices, overlapping, on a platter and let stand for 10 minutes. Drizzle with the Ponzu sauce and serve.
NOTE: To make 1 teaspoon ginger juice, grate a 1-inch piece of peeled, fresh ginger on a ceramic ginger grater set over a plate. Transfer the grated ginger and any juice on the plate to a small, fine-meshed strainer and press down on the ginger pulp to extract all its juice.

Beef Tenderloin in Salt Dough
from Lansdale, PA, US
Recipe courtesy Alton Brown, 2004
5 cups all-purpose flour
3 cups kosher salt
3 tablespoons fresh ground black pepper
5 egg whites
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup chopped fresh herbs (parsley, thyme, and/or sage)
1 (6 to 7-pound) whole beef tenderloin, trimmed
1 tablespoon olive oil
Place the flour, salt and pepper in a large mixing bowl. In another bowl, whisk the egg whites and water and add to the dry ingredients along with 2 tablespoons of the herbs. Combine with a potato masher until the mixture begins to come together. Then knead with your hands for 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a large zip-top bag, seal, and let stand at room temperature for 4 hours, or up to 24 hours.
Transfer dough to a floured surface and roll out to 3/16-inch thickness, approximately a 24 by 18-inch rectangle. Trim away extra dough, if necessary. Sprinkle the remaining herbs on the center section of the dough and gently press down.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
In order to achieve uniform cooking, fold over slender tail end of tenderloin and tie with kitchen twine. Set a large electric griddle at its highest setting; brush the tenderloin with the olive oil and sear on all sides until well browned, approximately 10 minutes. Rest the meat for at least 5 minutes or until it is cool to the touch so as not to melt the dough.
Place the tenderloin in the center of the dough. Fold top part of dough over, flipping back about 1-inch of dough onto itself. Repeat with the bottom half of the dough. Press together the 2 flaps of dough and seal. Make sure the dough is not too tight around the tenderloin. At the ends of the tenderloin, press together dough to form a seal and cut away any excess. Transfer to a sheet pan, place in the oven and roast to an internal temperature of 125 degrees F, approximately 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 30 minutes or up to 1 hour. The tenderloin will continue to cook 10 to 15 degrees more. Cut salt crust at 1 end and extract meat by pulling out of dough tube. Slice and serve immediately.
Beef Tenderloin with Blue Cheese Crust
from Yardley, PA
Serves 8
8 beef tenderloin steaks
3 tbsp of olive oil
2 tbsp of red wine vinegar
1 cup of crumbled blue cheese
1 tbsp of chopped fresh thyme
1 tbsp if chopped fresh rosemary
1/2 cup of chopped onion
1 chopped garlic clove
1/2 cup of Italian breadcrumbs
2 tbsp of water
1/2 tsp of ground pepper
Wipe and pat dry the steaks with a damp cloth. Mix the oil, vinegar, and ground pepper. Brush the mixture over the steaks. Let the steaks stir in the fridge for 2 hours, turning occasionally. Combine the rest of the ingredients in a food processor and mix until it becomes a thick paste. On a greased grill, cook the steaks for 3-4 minutes, flip them over, and cover with the cheese mix.

Beef Wellingtonfrom Australia
Beef Wellington
3 c. flour
1 tsp. salt
butter
3 or 4 large pieces suet
5 to 6 lb. fillet of beef
4 chicken livers
1/2 lb. fresh mushrooms,
finely chopped
1/4 lb. ham, finely ground
1 Tbsp. catsup
1/3 c. sherry
1 egg, separated
Three days before serving: Make puff pastry. Sift flour into large bowl; make well in center; pour in 3/4 cup water and 1 teaspoon salt. Mix with fork, adding 1/2 cup more water as it is absorbed into flour; chill 15 minutes. On floured board, roll pastry into rectangle 1/4-inch thick. Shape 1 1/2 cups firm, but not hard, butter into flat square cake 1/4-inch thick; place in center of pastry; fold pastry over it like an envelope. Roll into thin rectangle, taking care not to let butter break through. Fold into thirds, then refold resulting rectangle into thirds (this is a "turn"). Do 2 more turns. Chill 20 minutes. Do 2 more turns; chill 30 minutes. Repeat turns twice more; wrap in foil and chill. Day before serving: Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place suet over fillet. In shallow roasting pan, roast to desired degree of doneness, 140 degrees for rare (about 40 minutes). Remove suet, cool and refrigerate.
Saute livers in 2 tablespoons butter until browned; chop fine. In same pan, saute mushrooms, ham, catsup and sherry 10 minutes; stir occasionally. Cool; stir in beaten egg yolk; remove to bowl, cover and refrigerate.
About 1 hour before serving: Roll 3/4 of puff pastry into 18-inch square or 1 large enough to enclose fillet. Lay bottom of fillet along one edge of pastry. Pat liver mixture on top of fillet. Lift pastry up and over fillet; tuck in ends, place seam side down, on cookie sheet. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Brush pastry with slightly beaten egg white. Use rest of pastry to make decorations for top; cut out with cookie cutters or by knife. Brush decorations with egg white. Bake 30 to 40 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 3 minutes before slicing for serving. Use roasting pan or cookie sheet. Serves 10.
This is a spectacular entree that is so easy because most of it is done ahead. I serve with a potato dish, usually scalloped potatoes and green vegetable like broccoli.

Beer Can Chicken
from NY, USA
1 1/2 cups mesquite wood chips
1 whole chicken 4 to 5 lbs
3 1/2 Tbs Memphis rub
1 can , 12 oz. beer
Memphis Rub ( makes 1/2 cup )
Mix all the following: Store and seal tightly
1/4 cup paprika
1 Tbs. brown sugar
1 Tbs. granulated sugar
2 tsp. salt
1 tsp celery salt
1 tsp fresh ground black pepper
1 to 3 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp dry mustard
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
The recipe comes from a newspaper clipping and the cooking method sparked my curiosity. The chicken steams in a closed grill for about two hours and is very moist and tender with a subtle smoky flavor ( no strong beer flavor at all ) and the skin comes out brown and crisp. We would repeat this again. Following is a synopsis of the original directions and then my further comments.
Instructions and tips::
If using a gas grill: remove upper warming rack ( so it doesn't knock chicken down when lid is closed ), set the grill for indirect ( low ) heat, place a foil pan directly beneath the chicken to catch the drippings, don't open and close the lid often .
Soak the wood chips in cold water for 1 hour and drain. Rinse chicken ( remove any giblets etc. ) with cold water inside and out and pat dry. Sprinkle the cavity of the chicken with 1 Tbs of the dry rub and rub the outside of the chicken well with another Tbs. of the rub
For gas grills place the wood in the smoker box and preheat to high . When smoke appears, lower heat to medium. For charcoal grill, bank coals to side of the grill and light. Coals are ready when coated with a light gray ash color.
For both types of grills place a drip pan in center just below where chicken will be placed.
Now open the beer can and poke ( 6 or 7 ) holes in the top of the can. Pour out the top inch of liquid and place in 1 Tbs. of the dry rub. Holding chicken upright with body cavity pointed down, insert the upright can of beer into the chicken.
Believe it or not a beer can chicken roaster ( to support the can of beer ) is available for sale at this site: http://www.beercanchickenroaster.com
When ready to cook: for the charcoal grill, drain the wood chips and toss half over the coals. Oil the grate and stand chicken up in center of hot grate over drip pan. Spread out legs to support the chicken. If using charcoal, add 10 to 12 fresh coals per side and the remaining wood chips after 1 hour of cooking. It takes about 2 hours for the covered chicken to cook either gas or charcoal.
Using tongs lift chicken to cutting board, holding large metal spatula under the beer can for support. Be careful not to spill the hot beer. Let chicken stand for 5 minutes before carving meat off the carcass. Serves 6.
Joan's Tips:
I used a 16 oz. can of beer which was taller and offered more support. I covered the can ( sides not top ) with heavy duty aluminum foil because I worried about the color coming off the beer can into the chicken. I cut off any hanging excess fat from the chicken. I also used a smaller chicken, about 3 1/2 lbs. which cooked in 1 hour and 45 minutes. The chicken on the tall can was quite stable.
I used the gas grill and low heat setting after the grill was preheated to high. I placed a piece heavy duty foil ( on top of the grates ) with edges folded up to contain any drips and no other drip pan was used. I used long tongs to remove the chicken off the beer can directly from the grill. The chicken was very tender but lifted off easily . I opened the grill cover about a total 4 times during cooking to briefly check. To my surprise there was not a lot of drippings contained in the foil.
Good luck and hope you all enjoy the recipe if you try it.

fine accompaniment. Please e-mail me with any questions and / or results!!
CHESTNUT TIPS
Peeling Chestnuts: The easiest way to peel chestnuts is by boiling. Cut
them in half from top to bottom. Discard any that look dark brown inside
or smell offensive. Place the nuts in a deep pot with just enough water
to cover them. Cover and boil for five minutes. Scoop out a few nuts
with a slotted spoon and as soon as they are just cool enough to handle,
but still very hot, pop the nuts out of their skins. If it's difficult,
throw them back into the pot for a few more minutes and try again.
Pureeing Chestnuts: Many recipes call for puree. To make, boil the nuts
and peel as described above. After the chestnuts are peeled, boil
another 10 minutes in a smaller amount of fresh water, broth, or milk,
depending on the recipe. Use a food processor or potato ricer to make a
smooth paste. Puree can also be made from dried nuts soaked overnight
and then boiled until very soft.
Beignets
from Canada
Beignets
1 cup whole milk
2 tablespoons shortening (or lard, margarine or oil)
2 tablespoons sugar
1 (1 oz.) package dry yeast
3 cups plain flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 egg
oil for deep frying
powdered sugar
Heat milk till almost boiling, stirring so as not to scorch. Place
shortening and sugar in a big bowl; pour scalded milk over and stir until
smooth and melted. Cool to lukewarm, then add yeast; stir in till
dissolved.
Sift dry flour and salt into another bowl. Stir about half of this flour
mixture into the milk mixture gradually, then add egg. Beat batter
thoroughly, stirring in remaining flour a little at a time. Cover with a
towel and set aside for about an hour till it doubles in bulk. Knead
gently on floured board; roll to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut into two-inch
squares (or diamonds) with a sharp knife. Cover and let rise again 30-45
minutes.
Drop squares into hot oil (385 degrees F), turning once when golden brown
on bottom side. Drain on paper towles and dust with sifted powdered sugar.
Serve warm. Makes about 2 dozen.
NOTE: Beignet mixes are widely available and require only that you add
water, then mix and fry -- they're quite good. Or make "Mock Beignets":
Cut flattened canned biscuits in half and fry in hot oil till golden on
each side, then dust in powdered sugar.

Beingan BhartaBeingan Bharta--Indian Eggplant
(measurements are approximate)
1 large eggplant
1 green chili - thinly sliced
1 pinch asafoetida (optional)
1 tsp mustard seed
2 tsps salt
1 medium onion, chopped
fresh cilantro, chopped-- "a healthy amount"
vegetable oil for frying
The eggplant should be grilled first to give the dish a nice smokey flavor. You can do this either by putting the whole eggplant on an outdoor grill and turning a couple of times, or you can grill it on a gas range. First remove the stems and leaves so they won't burn. Put down some tin foil in the well of the burner to catch the juice which will come out. Place the metal burner on top and grill the eggplant directly on it. The outside of the eggplant will burn as the inside cooks, turn it frequently. Once cooked, let it cool until you can comfortably handle it. Peel the skin off--this should be easy because it is burnt, but if a little bit of skin sticks, that's fine.
Heat about a tablespoon of oil in a frying pan or wok. Don't let it get too hot, though--because you want the heat on low as you add the mustard seeds. Let the seeds pop gently in the oil, then add the onion. Fry until translucent. Add the eggplant, asafetida, green chili, and salt.
Fry for 5-10 minutes. Add the chopped cilantro about a minute before serving. Enjoy with flat bread (naan or chapatis) or plain old pita. Yum!

12 oz pkg semi sweet chocolate bits

Bhratti...a reasonably close imitation of BHRATTI
Long long ago I came upon this delicious dish in a remote area of southern India. Owing to language difficulties I could not quite make out the recipe, but after some trials and errors, I finally managed to concoct something close to the original:
2 cups Basmati rice (Carolina will do)
2 medium onions
bunch of fresh basil leaves (about half cup when chopped)
1 tbsp curry powder (mild or hot, according to preference)
1 tsp salt
4 tbsp good grade cooking oil
500 grams (just over 1 lb) ground chicken or lean pork
Chop onions and fry in 2 tbsp oil until just starting to brown.
Add meat and curry powder, stir until brown.
Scoop out onions and meat, leaving oil in pan.
Add dry rice and stir until transparent.
Add 4 cups water and salt, bring to boil, cover and cook over LOW flame for 15 mins or until all water is absorbed.
Add meat, onions, finely chopped basil and the rest of the oil, stir and cook for another 3 mins.
(You could eat it now, but here comes the trick):
Put everything in shallow glass dish, cover with paper towel and microwave on full power for another 10 to 15 mins. (YES, that long!)
The final ordeal in the microwave oven will turn the individual grains of rice crispy on the outside, leaving their cores soft - a heavenly crunchy sensation.

Bhutta Chaat
This is a wonderful Indian salad adapted from June/July 1995 Fine Cooking.
Enjoy!
Lemony Corn Chaat
(Bhutta chaat)
Serves 1-2
1/2 cup frozen corn (I have best results with Cascadian Farm)
~2 Tbs. fresh lemon juice or to taste
1 tsp grated fresh ginger
1/2 - 1 jalepeno, cored, seeded, and minced
1 Tbs. minced cilantro leaves (or Vietnamese coriander)
1/4 -1/2 tsp black salt *
Dash cayenne
1 small cucumber, peeled and diced
1/2 cup red onion, diced
1/2 -1 cup diced tomato
salt to taste
toasted or raw cumin seeds
Steam the corn until tender. Cool to room temperature
Combine lemon juice, ginger, jalapeno, cilantro, black salt, and cayenne in
a large bowl; mix well. Add the corn, cucumber, onion, and tomatoes, and
toss gently to coat the vegetables. Add salt to taste. Sprinkle with cumin
seeds before serving. This salad is best at room temperature.
*Black salt can be found at Indian groceries. It isn't really an optional
ingedient for chaat. I have heard there is a salt called Real Salt, mined
in Utah. This can be used, although it is a different taste. Black salt
looks like a pink powder. My stash is from House of Spices. It has the
name Kala Nimak on it. Regular salt is not a substitute.
