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. ED MONTALVAN P.O. Box 232 9000 Cagayan de Oro City Philippines

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 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.

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.

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.

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. from: Rose Kaplin.

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.

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. ~Su-Lyn % Pflueckt Rosenknospen, solange es geht^ ^Seah % die Zeit sehr schnell euch enteilt ~ ~ceteris paribus, vice versa % dieselbe Blume, die heute noch steht ^ ^www.singnet.com.sg/~sulyn % ist morgen dem Tode geweiht. ~

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.

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.

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.

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.

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, Ward Williams Caracas, Venezuela 24@ssebbs.uunet.ve 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.

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.

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....
Autumn Pear Pie from NY, US Yield: 8 servings 6 to 8 large ripe (not too soft but sweet) pears- use a few varieties for flavor and texture 1/2 cup sugar ( white or brown ) 1/4 cup flour 1 Tbs lemon juice 1 tsp cinnamon 1/2 tsp each cloves and nutmeg 1 Tbs butter double crust pastry for 9 inch pie sugar and a bit of nutmeg to sprinkle over crust Pear pies are very subtle and delicate in flavor with a texture like apple pie. Either served warm or well chilled along with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, it surprises people how wonderful pears can be in pie. The recipe is a adaptation of several which I tailored to my liking and won me a prize at a local pie contest. Peel pare, core, pears and slice thickly in wedges as one would do if using apples In a bowl mix flour, sugar, spices and blend well Sprinkle on lemon juice onto pears and mix in the flour-sugar with pears Line a 9 inch pan with favorite pastry, add pears, and dot with the butter Add top crust and slash deeply here and there Sprinkle with a bit of sugar and grated nutmeg or cinnamon. Bake 400F for 10 minute and then lower heat to 350F and bake 50 minutes more until juices bubble through crust and pears tender. Cool completely. Either serve warm or well-chilled.

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 Egg Rolls BAKED EGG ROLLS 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.

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 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.

Banane Pese from Chicago, IL I received a request for Haitian recipes. Here we are... Twice-fried Plaintain Slices 1/2 cup vegetable oil 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.

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..... *BB* ptj 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.

(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.

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.

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.

Basic Roast Goose from Chicago, IL Most wild foul are greasy if not prepared correctly. The preparation consists of three steps. The first step in cooking is the degrease and brown step. The second step is the stuff step. The third step is the cook step. One fresh or completely thawed goose. Orange Juice and Honey basting sauce (Approx 1 cup OJ and 1/4 cup honey or to taste) 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 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! from: Genoa, Italy

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. Calories...210...Fat...6 g...Carbs...32 g...Protein...6 g... Sodium...765 mg...Fiber...4 g.

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.

Beans Beans and More Beans 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!

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.

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.

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 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. -Ruth Shaffer. ac698@leo.nmc.edu
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.

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.

Shredded sauteed red cabbage with rice wine vinegar makes a 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. {Source: "The Little New Orleans Cookbook" by Gwen McKee; 1991, Quail Ridge Press; ISBN 0-937552-42-9} Carl McCaskey

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!

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.
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. _____ ( ) Greetings from _ | | yehuda paradise (_) |_____| Ramat Gan, Israel | @ o o @ (paradise@math.tau.ac.il) | U ______________________________________ {|} * ______________________________________| | * * *
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.

Bigos from Poland One 33 ounce jar of Polonaise Sauerkraut One Savoy Cabbage Two pounds beef Two pounds pork One pound of ``breakfast" sausage links ½ pound smoked bacon One pound Kielbasa One onion One SMALL can of Tomato paste or sauce 3 to 5 Bay Leaves salt, pepper, oil, sugar spices and herbs to your taste First, get a jar of Polonaise Sauerkraut and a pound of kielbasa. Don't use watered down sauerkraut that comes in a plastic sack with lots of water and vinegar. The final product is only as good as the best ingredients you can get. Then, get the best beef and pork with a minimum of fat. Cut off all that you can before cooking. Get a half pound of thick sliced bacon. If you cannot find a Savoy cabbage a regular cabbage works just fine. Start by getting a large pot of water boiling. Add the sauerkraut. Let it bubble away. Cut up the beef and pork into little fork size squares and brown. Generally this takes two frying pans (one each for beef and one each for pork). Season with secret herbs and spices. Grate the cabbage. Throw it into the boiling pot. Chop up the onion and in it goes too. When the beef and pork is browned. Pour both in the pot. Drippings and all. Cut the kielbasa into short pieces and sear in one of the frying pans. The searing keeps kielbasa from mushing up when it spends a lot of time in hot water. When seared, into the pot it goes. Cut all the bacon, except one slice, into half inch long pieces and fry. Drain off the extra fat as necessary. When the bacon is done eat the single strip and throw the pieces in the pot. It's ok to cook the sausage in the same frying pan with the bacon. Little chunks, any size. Add a little (teaspoon full) of salt, a half teaspoon of pepper (go light on this), one eighth cup sugar, and the bay leaves to the pot. And here's the final touch. Dump in a SMALL can of tomato paste or tomato sauce. Stir. Add water as necessary. Cook at low heat. They call this simmer. The longer it simmers, the better it gets. Leftovers can be frozen and thawed. Or you can just store in the refrigerator and reheat through the week
BiltongBiltong (Beef Jerky) Makes 4 servings. 1 lb flank steak, sliced Marinade 1 cup salt 2 oz brown sugar 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce 1/4 cup soy sauce fresh ground black pepper chili spices or hot pepper flakes, to taste As you travel around East Africa you will see countless Africans selling food along the roadsides, in the markets, or through bus and train windows. They sell fruit, boiled eggs grilled maize, boiled maize, yogurt, milk, soda pop, fried dough balls, samosas, yellow buns, and real seasonal delicacies like roasted mice and termites. The following are a few East African snack foods you can try. "Beef Jerky" is more common in South Africa but still a part of the East African diet. It is generally made from beef, but other game is used when available. Cut strips of meat following the grain of muscle. Make strips 2 inches wide and 1 inch thick. Best made during cool dry weather if possible. Submerse sliced meat in marinade and leave overnight. Hang the strips of meat in a cool, dry, well ventilated place until dry or use a non-heating food dehydrator.

Turn over and cook another 10-15 minutes. If you can afford the fat, a small drizzle of semisweet chocolate is wonderful on these when cooled. I used about 2 T. for all the cookies, which added about 6 g. fat to the recipe or 1/3 g. fat each one.

Biscotti: Milk ChocolateThese really are better than ones you can buy. I gave them as Christmas gifts to several chef friends, I've had nothing but compliments. Despite the title, they have a lovely dark color and flavor. Elizabeth Milk Chocolate Biscotti 7 ounces (1 1/3 cups) whole blanched almonds 7 ounces fine quality milk chocolate 1 3/4 cups sifted unbleached flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/8 teaspoon salt 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa 1 cup sugar 4 large eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Toast the almonds in a shallow pan in a preheated 350-degree oven for 12 to 15 minutes, until lightly colored, shaking the pan once or twice. You can tell when they are done by the strong smell of toasted almonds when you open the oven door. Set aside to cool. Cut or break the chocolate into small pieces and place it in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal chopping blade. Let stand. Sift together the flour, baking soda, salt, cocoa, and sugar. Add about a cup of these sifted ingredients to the chocolate. Process for about 30 seconds, or until the chocolate is fine and powdery. In a large bowl mix together the processed ingredients with the remaining sifted dry ingredients. Stir in the almonds. In a small bowl beat the eggs with the vanilla just to mix. With a large rubber or wooden spatula stir the egg mixture into the dry ingredients. You might think there is not enough liquid, but there is - just keep stirring. Now place two 20-inch lengths of plastic wrap on the work surface. In order to shape two loaves, spoon a strip of of the dough down the middle of each piece of plastic wrap. Each strip should be 13 to 14 inches long. Flatten the tops. Lift the two long sides of the plastic wrap (hold them together as close as possible to the dough----touching the dough) and----with your hands---press on the plastic wrap to smooth the dough and shape it into an even strip 14 to 15 inches long, 21/2 to 3 inches wide, and 3/4 inch thick (no thicker), with squared ends. If the strips of dough are thicker than they should be, the baked strips will not slice neatly. Transfer to a cookie sheet and place in the freezer for about 2 hours (or as much longer as you wish), until firm enough to be unwrapped. To bake, adjust two tracks to divide the oven into thirds. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Line two large cookie sheets with baking parchment or aluminim foil, shiny side up. To transfer the dough to the sheets (the dough might still be a bit sticky; if so, it is OK), open the two long sides of plastic wrap on top of one strip of dough and turn the dough out upside down on the lined sheet, placing it diagonally on the sheet. Slowly peel off the plastic wrap. Repeat with the second strip and the second sheet. Bake for 1 hour, reversing the sheets top to bottom and front to back once during baking to ensure even baking. During baking the strips will spread out (7 to 8 inches wide). After one hour of baking reduce the oven temperature to 275 degrees and remove the sheets from the oven. Immediately, with a wide, metal spatula release a strip from the parchment or foil and place it on a board. Repeat with the second strip. Use a pot holder or a folded towel to hold the hot strip in place, and use a serrated bread knife to cut the strip crossise into slices 1/2 to 3/4 inch wide. Repeat with the second strip. Place the slices, standing upright, on unlined cookie sheets with a little space between them. Bake for 40 minutes, reversing the sheets top to bottom and front to back once during baking. Let cool and store in an airtight container. >From Maida Heatter's Brand New Book of Great Cookies
Bitterballenfrom Rotterdam, Netherlands We have made this recipe several times and is always appreciated by ourselves and by guests. These little meat balls are frequently served at parties and other festive occasions. The Dutch usually serve them with mustard for dipping, and you might want to serve them with a variety of dips, including mustards, chutneys, and barbecue sauces. 4 tbl. butter or margarine 1/2 lb ground beef or veal 1/4 cup carrot, finely diced 1/2 cup onion, finely chopped salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste A grating of fresh nutmeg 1 tbl. fresh lemon juice 2 tbl. parsley, finely chopped 5 tbl. flour 1 cup beef broth or milk 1/2 cup dry bread crumbs 1 egg, beaten with 1 tsp. water Oil for deep frying Heat one tablespoon of the butter in a large skillet over moderate heat and cook the meat, carrots, and onions until the meat is browned and the carrots are tender. Drain the meat in a colander, then place in a mixing bowl. Add the salt, pepper, nutmeg, lemon juice, and parsley and stir to combine. Set the meat mixture aside. Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan over moderate heat and stir in the flour to make a roux. Cook this for 2 to 3 minutes, then add the beef broth or milk. Continue heating, stirring constantly, until the sauce boils and becomes quite thick. Combine the sauce with the meat mixture, stirring to combine them thoroughly, and chill this mixture for at least two hours in the refrigerator, until it has become solid. When the mixture has solidified, roll it into balls about 1 inches in diameter, using your hands. Roll the balls in the bread crumbs, then in the egg and water mixture, then in the bread crumbs again. Fry a few at a time in a deep fryer with at least 2 inches of oil at 375 degrees until golden (about 2 to 3 minutes). Drain on paper towels and serve immediately.
Black and Tan Onion Rings from Yardley, PA Black and Tan Onion Rings Despite the title, this recipe contains no alcohol. I created this recipe one day and pretty much improvised. I'll try to supply a recipe with beer another day. In any case, the reason for the title is the texture. This recipe yields onion rings that are crispy and tasty on the outside and tender on the inside. According to me the best results of this recipe are the texture of the product and the fact that these rings don't taste as fatty as most other varieties. And, with the ingredients I'm using here, I'm convinced that this is a low-fat version. Honestly, these are the best onion rings I have ever had. If you've seen other recipes for onion rings, you'll probably notice the absence of buttermilk and the presense of chicken or vegetable stock here. I did this because I simply had no buttermilk at the time and instead of using a bland ingredient or another ingredient that would yield more fat content, I opted for the stock. Hey, sodium isn't a vice for me right now so why not? Ingredients 2 large sweet onions (i.e. Vidalia, Mayan, etc.) *2 cups all-purpose flour *1 1/2 cups chicken or vegetable stock (maybe more, see note below) 1 T salt (optional) 2+ tsp paprika 1/4+ tsp cayenne pepper 2 dried ancho peppers, flaked (or use your favorite chili pepper) Vegetable oil (for frying) Cut onions into 1/4-inch slices and separate concentric rings. Set aside. Mix flour, salt (optionally), paprika, cayenne pepper, and the pepper flakes. Add stock until mixture takes on a batter consistency -- see note below. Pour oil into heavy saucepan, wok, or deep fryer to a depth of 2 to 3 inches. Heat to 350F. Preferably with tongs, coat each ring individually until completely covered with batter. In batches, place rings into the oil until batter takes on various shades of medium and dark brown. Remove rings from oil and place on dioxin-free paper towel to absorb the excess oil. Serves about 8. * I'm not sure exactly how much stock to use here but start with the recommended 1 1/2 cups and add flour and stock intermittently until a batter texture is achieved.

In another bowl whisk together the egg whites and the sugar until the mixture is white and foamy, stir the sugar mixture into the coconut mixture, and with a rubber spatula spread the mixture evenly on the bottom and up the sides of pan. Bake the shell in the middle of the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until it is firm and golden, loosen it from the sides of the pan with a small knife, and remove the sides of the pan. Let the shell cool completely on a rack, remove the bottom of the pan, peeling off the paper from the bottom of the shell, and put the shell on a platter. Make the filling: In a small metal bowl whisk together the egg yolks and the heavy cream, set the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, and cook the mixture whisking constantly, until it is thickened and registers 160F. on a candy thermometer. Remove the bowl from the pan, add the bittersweet chocolate, stirring until the chocolate is melted, and stir in the rum. In another small metal bowl set over the pan of barely simmering water melt the white chocolate, stirring, stir in the sour cream, and stir the mixture until it is just smooth. Remove the bowl from the pan and let the white and dark chocoalte mixtures cool to warm, stirring frequently. Spoon the chocolate mixtures into the macaroon shell, alternating them, shake the platter gently to settle them together. Chill the tart, covered loosely, for 8 hours, or until it is set. The tart may be made 1 day in advance and kept covered and chilled. Make the sauce: Force the raspberries through a fine sieve into a bowl, pressing hard on the solids, scrape the pulp from the underside of the sieve into the sauce, and whisk the sauce until it is combined well. The sauce may be made 2 days in advance and kept covered and chilled. Arrange slices of the tart on each of 8 dessert plates and pour some of the raspberry sauce around them. Serves 8.

Black Bass with Sicilian Pestofrom Tipperary, Ireland Serves 4 For the bass: 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 4 boneless black bass fillets (about 2 pounds total) 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano 1 teaspoon each of lemon zest and orange zest (3 passes of the microplane) 2 scallions, whites only, chopped very fine 1/4 cup white vermouth or white wine 1 tablespoon butter For the pesto: 3/4 cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling 1 clove garlic, peeled 1/2 cup sliced blanched almonds 1/2 cup fresh basil (about 15 leaves), chopped 1/2 cup parsley, chopped 1/2 cup celery leaf, chopped To prepare the bass: Preheat the oven to 375�. Pour the olive oil into a baking dish. Using a sharp knife, make 4 shallow diagonal incisions in the skin side of each fillet. (This keeps the fish from curling up and getting tough.) Season the fillets with salt, pepper, oregano, and the lemon and orange zest and shake the scallions over the top. Lay them in the baking dish skin-side up. Pour the vermouth or wine over the fish. Break up the butter with your fingers and place little bits across the fish. Bake the fish, uncovered, until the flesh turns just white and is semi-firm to the touch, about 5 to 8 minutes. When you cut into the fish, the center should be just opaque. To prepare the pesto: Drain the sun-dried tomatoes and put them in the blender with the olive oil, garlic, almonds, and 1 cup of hot tap water. Blend on high until the ingredients have combined into a chunky sauce, about 1 minute. To finish: Remove the fish from the baking dish to a plate but do not discard the juices in the bottom of the pan. Add half the pesto to the juices in the baking dish and mix together over low heat until everything is combined. Add the chopped basil, parsley, and celery leaf, and mix to combine all the ingredients. If the pesto seems too thick for your taste, adjust the consistency by adding a little more hot tap water. Spoon a portion of the pesto onto the bottom of each serving plate and place a fish fillet on top. Drizzle more extra-virgin olive oil over the top. Serve immediately.

They came out great! Easy to remove, did not stick to the pan and consistent pieces. Use any favorite brownie recipe you wish. My family loves this cherry and nut version. Of course the recipe can be baked in any 9x13 oblong pan. Melt butter in a saucepan, set aside. Combine flour, baking powder and salt. Stir cocoa into butter and then blend in sugar and extracts, add eggs one at a time and blend well. Stir into flour mixture to blend well. Stir in nuts and cherries. Spray the pan and insert with cooking spray. Add batter and smooth in pan. Place in the insert into pan. Bake brownies in a 350F until tested done ( about 30 to 35 minutes ) Remove to a rack to cool. Make glaze ingredients by blending everything smooth. Carefully place a heaped spoonful of icing into each of 18 inserts to cover hot brownies. It will melt! Sprinkle with the chopped nuts. Cool completely! Chill pan in the refrigerator. Carefully remove insert from pan to release 18 perfect brownies. Use the brownie rack to remove sides of the pan so the bottom of cake pan then remains holding the brownies

Black Sticky Rice Puddingfrom Yardley, PA Kow Neuw Dum Peiak (Thailand) 2 servings 1 dash salt 2-3 tablespoons coconut milk 1/3 cup sugar 5-6 cups water 1/2 cup black sticky rice Boil the black sticky rice with 3 cups of water with the lid off. Reduce the heat to simmer after the water starts to boil. Barely simmer the rice for 1 hour keeping the lid off. After an hour, you will notice that the water level has gone down. Add 2 more cups and stir to incorporate the water. At this point you want to keep an eye on the rice as it cooks because it will become sticky and stick to the bottom of the pot. Use the lowest heat possible and stir every few minutes for another half an hour. You may find that you need to add more water. I like my sticky rice to be mushy, like a cottage cheese consistency. I add more water and let it simmer until I achieve that consistency. The pudding actually has a beautiful deep purple color. When you get the right consistency, add 1/3 cup of sugar. You may find that you need more sugar depending on how much water you added and how sweet you like it to be. I don't like mine too sweet, so 1/3 of cup is good for me. Stir to dissolve the sugar and turn off the heat. Heat up the coconut milk with a dash of salt. You just need to warm it up. Don't let it boil. I heat mine up in a microwave for 30 seconds. A tablespoon of coconut milk is good for one serving. Scoop the black sticky rice pudding in a small bowl. Top it with a tablespoon of coconut milk. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Black Sticky Rice Pudding 2from Chicago, IL Kao Niow Dahm from "It Rains Fishes" by Kasma Loha-unchit (http://www.thaifoodandtravel.com/recipes/bstickr.html ) 2 cups whole-grain black sticky rice, sweet rice or glutinous rice 2 cups, or 1 can, coconut milk 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 tsp. salt 2 Tbs. toasted sesame seeds and/or toasted unsweetened shredded coconut (optional) Strawberries (or mango slice) and mint leaves (optional) Measure the rice into a bowl; run your fingers through the rice and check for any pebbles or other noticeable impurities. Rinse the rice a few times until the water clears. Cover with at least 2 inches of water and allow to soak 4 or more hours, or overnight. The grains will absorb water and grow in size. When ready to cook, drain the rice and place in a heat-proof bowl with room enough for the rice grains to expand about a third more than its uncooked bulk. Add a small amount of boiling water, just enough to barely cover the rice grains. Place the bowl on a steamer rack and steam over medium heat about 30-40 minutes. If you do not have a steamer, use a large pot in which the bowl fits. Place a trivet on the bottom along with 2-3 inches of water. Bring to a boil. Balance the bowl with the rice on the trivet and add hot water to the rice. Cover and steam. Steaming the rice with a small volume of water will leave the top layer of grains intact, retaining a chewy texture which pops in your mouth like nuts. If you wish the rice to be softer, add more water to the rice. While the rice is steaming, make the coconut sauce by heating the coconut milk, sugar and salt together in a saucepan. Stir to dissolve the sugar and salt and blend the sauce until smooth. Keep warm. When the rice is cooked and while still hot out of the steamer, add about half of the sauce or enough to thoroughly coat the rice. Stir and mix well. The rice should be wet but not swimming in sauce. Let stand 15-20 minutes to allow the flavorings to be absorbed. Reserve the remaining sauce for spooning over the rice before serving. The flavored rice can be molded into a round mound on a serving plate and decorated with toasted sesame seeds and/or coconut shreds, sliced strawberries and mint leaves for color. Or dish into individual serving bowls or custard cups, topped with the reserved sauce, toasted seeds and coconut and a mint leaf. For a wetter pudding like texture, the rice may alternatively be cooked by boiling, the same way as you would regular rice. Use 2 1/2 to 3 cups of water to each cup of rice. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer and cook partially covered until the grains are cooked and surrounded by a thick sauce, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and burning. Add sugar to sweeten to your liking. Stir well, cover and place on lowest heat setting for another 5-10 minutes. Make the sauce less sweet but more salty for contrast with the already sweetened rice. When ready to serve, dish the rice into individual serving bowls and dribble some sauce over each serving. Serve warm or at room temperature. Notes: Because of its rich, nutty flavor, black sticky rice is usually eaten by itself and not served with fruits, like white sticky rice often is with mangoes. For toppings, stronger flavors like toasted sesame seeds or toasted shredded coconut do more to accentuate the natural flavor of the rice. Unsweetened shredded coconut is available in small packages from Asian food markets or sold in bulk in specialty food stores.
Black Walnut and Oatmeal Cookies from USA 3/4 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup white sugar 1 1/4 cups butter 1 tsp. vanilla 1 1/2 cups flour 1 1/4 tsp. cinnamon 1 egg 3/4 tsp. salt 1/3 tsp. nutmeg 3 cups oatmeal 1 cup Hammons Black Walnuts 1/2 cup raisins or chocolate chips, optional Mix sugars, egg, butter and vanilla together.

Black Walnut Crusted Catfish with a Maple Butter Sauce from Bend, OR 4 catfish fillets, boneless 1/4 cup Hammons Black Walnuts - medium fine 3/4 cup crushed Kellogg`s Corn Flakes 1/4 cup pure maple syrup 1/4 cup butter Salt and Pepper to taste Mix the Black Walnuts and Corn Flakes.

Black Walnut Pie from USA 3 eggs, lightly beaten 1 T. lemon juice 1 cup light corn syrup 1 tsp. vanilla 1 cup dark brown sugar 2 1/2 cups Hammons Black Walnuts 1/4 cup butter, melted 1- 9 inch; pie crust Preheat oven to 350 degree. Check the pie crust to be sure the edges are at least 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch above the rim of the pan to prevent the pie filling from bubbling over the edge. Gently combine all ingredients, in order listed. Stir enough to begin dissolving the sugar, but not enough to incorporate air into the filling. Do not beat, or the pie will have air bubbles on the top, instead of black walnuts, spoiling the glossy look of the glazed nuts. Pour into the unbaked pie crust. Bake on a cookie sheet one hour, or until the center of the pie is no longer loose and the black walnuts are browned. Serve either hot or cold, but for the best appearance, allow the pie to reach room temperature before cutting. Whipped cream or ice cream is a wonderful addition. For a gourmet treat, serve this pie hot. source: http://www.black-walnuts.com/homerecipes.asp

Blackened ChickenBLACKENED CHICKEN 16 3 oz skinless chicken breasts 3/4 lb Melted unsalted butter Seasoning: 2 T Salt 1 1/2 t Garlic powder 1 1/2 t Ground black pepper 1 t White pepper 1 t Onion powder 1 t Ground cumin 1/2 t Gound cayenne pepper 1/2 t Sweet paprika NOTE: Recipe calls for 16 (3-ounce) skinless boned chicken breasts, about 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick, or 8 (10-ounce) bone-in leg-thigh pieces, or a combination of these. Skin the leg-thigh pieces, then bone each piece along the length of the two bones, leaving meat in one piece. Trim off excess fat. Pound each breast or leg-thigh fillet to 1/2 inch thick. Let the chicken come to room temperature before blackening. Thoroughly combine the seasoning mix ingredients in a small bowl. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over very high heat until it is extremely hot and just short of the point at which you see white ash or a white spot forming in the skillet bottom, about 8 minutes. (the time will vary according to the intensity of the heat source.) Heat the serving plates in a 250F oven. Just before cooking each piece of chicken, dip it in the melted butter so that both sides are well coated, then sprinkle each fillet evenly with the seasoning mix, using about a rounded 1/2 teaspoon on each, and patting it in with your hands. (If you lay the fillet on a plate or other surface to season it, be sure the surface is warm so the butter won't congeal and stick to the surface instead of to the meat. Wipe the surface clean after seasoning each fillet. Use any remaining seasoning mix in another recipe.) Immediately place the fillet skinned side down in the hot skillet, making sure all meat folds are opened up and the meat is lying flat. Pour about 1 teaspoon butter on the top of the fillet (be careful, as the butter may flame up). If you cook more than 1 fillet at a time, place each fillet in the skillet before buttering and seasoning another one. Cook uncovered over the same high heat until the underside forms a crust, about 2 minutes. (The time will vary according to the thickness of the fillets and the heat of the skillet or fire; watch the meat and you'll see a white line coming up the side as it cooks.) Turn the fillets over and pour about 1 teaspoon more melted butter on top of each. Cook just until meat is cooked through, about 2 minutes more. Serve the chicken fillets crustier side up while piping hot. Clean the skillet after cooking each batch and repeat the blackening procedure with the remaining chicken fillets. To serve, place 2 breast fillets or 1 leg-thigh fillet on each heated serving plate. If you use a large serving platter, do not stack the fillets. Paul Prudhomme warns, "Blackening should be done either outdoors or in a commercial kitchen. The process creates an incredible amount of smoke that will set off your own and your neighbors' smoke alarms. People with really well-installed commercial hood vents at home have gotten away with blackening in their own kitchens. They are privileged! Don't push your luck."

To download go to - http://recipes.reedsweb.net/ * Exported from MasterCook * Blueberry Cheese Danish Pastries Recipe By : Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : July 1990 Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- ***FOR THE DANISH PASTRY*** two 1/4-ounce packages -- (5 teaspoons) active -- dry yeast 2/3 cup sugar 1 teaspoon salt 3 large egg yolks 2 teaspoons vanilla 2/3 cup milk 3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour 3 sticks cold unsalted butter -- cut into bits (1 -- 1/2 cups) ***FOR THE FILLING*** 8 ounces cream cheese -- softened 1/4 cup granulated sugar 1 large egg yolk 1 teaspoon vanilla 1/4 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons freshly grated orange zest 1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour ***FOR THE GLAZE*** 1 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice -- up to 3 Make the Danish pastry: In a large bowl proof the yeast with 1/4 cup warm water for 5 minutes, or until it is foamy, and stir in the sugar, the salt, the yolks, the vanilla, and the milk. Add 3 1/4 cups of the flour, stirring until the dough is combined well (it will be soft and slightly sticky), and chill the dough, covered, for 1 hour. On a cool surface (preferably marble) beat the butter with a rolling pin until it is smooth but still cold, add the remaining 1/2 cup flour, and blend the mixture quickly until it is smooth. Working quickly, form the butter mixture into a 6-inch square and chill it, wrapped in plastic wrap, for 15 to 30 minutes, or until it is firmer but still malleable. On a well-floured surface roll the dough into a 12-inch square, lay the butter diagonally in the center of the square, and fold the corners of the dough tightly over the butter like an envelope, enclosing the butter completely. Brush off any excess flour and pinch the edges of the dough together to seal them. With the rolling pin flatten the doug h gently with uniform impressions and roll it from the center away from you to within 1/2 inch of the end. Turn the strip 180° and roll the dough again from the center away from you to within 1/2 inch of the end. Continue to roll the dough in this manner until it forms an 18-by 8-inch rectangle. (It is important not to roll over the ends in this first rolling to help the later formation of even layers of butter and dough.) Brush off any excess flour from the dough, fold the top quarter of the rectangle down to the center of the strip, and fold the bottom quarter of the rectangle up to the center, leaving about 1/2 inch between the 2 ends. Fold the top half of the dough over the bottom to close the dough like a book. Turn the dough 90° so a short side faces you, roll it again into an 18- by 8-inch rectangle, and fold it in the same manner. This completes 2 "turns." Chill the dough, wrapped in plastic wrap, for 1 hour. Make 2 more turns in the same manner, always beginning with a short side facing you and chilling the dough, wrapped in plastic wrap, for 1 hour between each turn. Chill the dough, wrapped in plastic wrap, for at least 4 hours or overnight. Make the filling: In a bowl beat together the cream cheese, the sugar, the yolk, the vanilla, the salt, the zests, and the flour until the mixture is smooth and chill the filling, covered, for at least 1 hour and up to 24 hours. Roll half the dough into a 16- by 8-inch rectangle, trim the edges evenly, and cut the rectangle into eight 4-inch squares. Stretch 2 opposite corners of each square slightly to lengthen the dough and form flaps that will enclose the filling. Roll out, cut, and stretch the remaining dough in the same manner. Spoon 1 tablespoon of filling onto the center of each square of dough, sprinkle about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the blueberries over it, and brush the flaps with some of the egg wash. Fold 1 of the flaps across the berries, fold the other flap across the berries in the opposite direction, overlapping the first flap, and tuck the second flap under the Danish. Brush the Danish pastries with the egg wash, arrange them about 3 inches apart on lightly buttered baking sheets, and let them stand for 1 hour. Bake the Danish pastries in the middle of a preheated 350°F. oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until they are crisp and golden. Make the glaze while the Danish pastries are baking: In a bowl whisk together the confectioners' sugar, sifted, and enough of the lemon juice to make a thick but pourable glaze. Transfer the Danish pastries to a rack and drizzle some of the glaze over each pastry. The Danish pastries may be cooled to room temperature, wrapped in plastic wrap and foil, and frozen for 1 month. Transfer the Danish pastries to a baking sheet and bake them in the middle of a preheated 400°F. oven for 5 minutes, or until they are heated through. Makes 16 Danish pastries.

Blueberry Cheesecake Blueberry cheesecake crust: 1 3/4 cup graham wafer crumbs 1/2 cup melted butter 1/2 tsp cinnamon 1/4 cup chopped nuts filling: 2 eggs 1/2 cup sugar 1 1/2 cups sour cream 8 oz cream cheese 1 tsp vanilla topping: 2 cups frozen berries 1/2 cup sugar plus 1 tbsp. sugar 4 tsp cornstarch if desired..whipped cream for serving Prepare crust by combining all ingredients. Press in springform pan. Prepare filling by blend altogether until smooth. Pour over crust and bake at 350 for 50-60 min. Then turn off heat and leave in oven to cool. Dont worry about not feeling done at first..it will finish cooking when oven is turned off. I normally leave it for about another hour or go to bed and leave it overnight. Prepare topping by combining ingredients in pot and cooking until thickened..stirring occasionally. Then put in refrigerator to cool..(normally I prepare this while cake is in oven and both can cool overnight)...then pour over cooled cake...You can top with whipped cream if desired before serving. I've done this recipe with several toppings.. strawberries..raspberries..blueberries...I just alternate the crust with or without the nuts/cinnamon to suite the topping. It is the best cheesecake recipe I've found for berry toppings. Liz Stanford Newfoundland Canada

Blueberry Pie from New York, USA 1 double crust pie pastry for a 9 inch pie- use your favorite recipe for fruit pies Filling: 6 cups fresh or frozen blueberries thawed 1 cup sugar 1/4 cup cornstarch dash salt ( optional ) 1 tsp cinnamon 1 tsp vanilla or almond ( optional use with other variations) Variations: 3 cups blueberries with 3 cups of fresh pitted cherries, or 3 cups of blackberries or raspberries or 3 cups fresh,skinned ripe sliced peaches I have been cooking and baking for my invalid father. Because he is on a cardiac diet he cannot have lots of salt or fat. At his age of 91, the salt is so much worse for his heart than the fat. So I make his favorite pie prepared without any sodium in the crust or filling. I used the salt substitute instead with good results. My niece also wanted to know how to make a good pie without a runny filling- So baking at my Dad's brought us together which made my father as well as my mom so happy. Prick bottom crust with a fork. Mix sugar , cornstarch, cinnamon and salt. Stir into blueberries. Add flavorings if desired. Place mixture in crust. Apply top crust and decoratively flute or crimp edges. Slash pie decoratively but deeply in at least 4 places. Failure to deep slash will not let juices or steam escape and you will have stewed the blueberries resulting in a runny, soggy pie!! Dust top of crust with a bit of flour and granulated sugar. Bake in middle rack 425F for 15 minutes than 45 minutes at 375F. Remove to rack to cool completely. Chill in refrigerator before serving. Filling thickens with cooling and chilling and makes for easier slicing. Yield one delicious pie. We garnished pieces with some fresh mint out of the garden. For those not on a diet serve with some ice cream or whipped cream.
Blueberry Plum Crisp from Tipperary, Ireland Ingredients: 1 pint native blueberries 5 ripe plums, sliced (10 to 14 slices per fruit) 1 or 2 ripe peaches, sliced the same as the plums (nectarines do fine also) 1/3 to 1/2 cup sugar 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1-1/2 teaspoon lemon juice Streusel Topping: 1 Tablespoon flour 1 Tablespoon cold butter 2 Tablespoons and 1 teaspoon sugar Toss blueberries, plums, peaches, 1/3 to 1/2 cup sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice together and put into a pan for baking. An 8 x 8-inch square cake pan works or a 9- or 10-inch deep dish pie plate, anything that will hold the fruit at least 1-1/2 inches deep. Quickly crumble the streusel ingredients together in a small bowl with your fingers until it looks like fine little clumps (about 1/2 minute). Lightly cover the fruit with streusel topping and bake in a 350-degree oven for an hour or until the fruit is soft and bubbling. If the streusel is not browned enough for your liking, slide it under the broiler for a minute or two. Serving suggestion: try topping this with vanilla ice cream

Boeuf BourguignonneBoeuf Bourguignonne Also easier to say Beef Burgundy. This is meant for a slow cooker, but I think a crock pot would work well, too. 6 lbs beef rump or chuck, cut in 1 1/2 " cubes 2 medium onions, sliced salt & pepper, to taste 1/3 c flour 2 cans condensed beef broth 3 cups red or Burgundy wine 2 tbls tomato paste 4 cloves garlic, minced 1 1/2 tsp whole thyme 2 whole bay leaves 10 -12 small white onions [optional] mushrooms I use fresh, and add towards the end. Put beef cubes and onions in cooker. It is not necessary to brown meat first. Blend remaining ingredients together, stir into meat in cooker. Set cooker on low [200*]. Cover and slow cook for 8- 10 hours (I use sirloin tip roast, and it is much less time). Serve over cooked rice or noodles. Serves 6 - 8 ( I also find I don't use this much meat.) * If it needs thickening, turn up heat, and blend flour with water into mixture. Jane McKerricher Nanaimo, B.C.

Boiled PeanutsI found this wonderful recipe on http://www.whatscookingamerica.net . Judging from the many variations on recipes for boiled peanuts, there appears to be no wrong way to boil green peanuts. The important thing is the many tastings needed to determine when they are done. You must taste test the boiled peanuts for saltiness and firmness, as some people prefer soft nuts to firmer ones. 4 to 5 pounds green (raw) peanuts in shell 4 to 6 quarts water 1 cup plain salt Wash unshelled peanuts thoroughly in cold water until water runs clear; then soak in cool, clean water for approximately 30 minutes before cooking. In a large pot, place soaked peanuts and cover completely with water. Add 1 cup of salt per gallon of water. Cook, covered, on high heat for 4 to 7 hours. NOTE: the cooking time of boiled peanuts varies according to the maturity of the peanuts used and the variety of peanuts. The cooking time for a 'freshly pulled" or green peanut is shorter than for a peanut that has been stored for a time. Boil the peanuts for about 4 hours, then taste. Taste again i 10 minutes, both for salt and texture. Keep cooking and tasting until the peanuts reach desired texture (when fully cooked, the texture of the peanut should be similar to that of a cooked dry pea or bean). Remove from heat and drain peanuts after cooking or they will absorb salt and become over salted. Peanuts may be eaten hot or at room temperature, or chilled in the refrigerator and eaten cold, shelling as you eat them. Freezing boiled peanuts: Prepare peanuts as indicated above. Drain, allow to cool, and freeze in airtight containers. They keep indefinitely. Canning Your Boiled Peanuts: Prepare peanuts and brine the same as for boiling for immediate use. Pack peanuts into jars to within one-half inch of the top, using equal weights of peanuts and hot brine (212°F). Partially submerge containers in upright position in boiling water for 10 minutes. Seal while hot and process 45 minutes at 10 pounds pressure. Cool containers in water, label, and store away from heat.

Borscht Hi All! Here are some soup recipes that you might like. Some of them are GREAT for those cold wintery nights! No good to those in the Northern Hemisphere who will be experiencing summer soon. But our friends in the Southern Hemisphere (or other cold regions) should benefit from these. Hey Rayna in New Zealand, *you* might find these useful, eh? Greetings! BORSCHT Ingredients: 4 medium beets 2 cups cabbage 8 oz beef (bones optional) 1 cup carrots 2 stalks celery 1 1/2 cups leeks 1 1/2 cups onions 1/4 cup butter 4 cups beef stock 1/4 cup tomato puree 1 Tbsp vinegar 1 1/2 cups sour cream salt and pepper (to taste) 1 small sprig fresh dill Method: Peel and cut 2 beets into 2" long by 1/4" thick julienne. Cut beef into 1" julienne. Cut cabbage, carrots, leeks and onions into large julienne and celery into slices. Melt the butter in a large saucepan. Add beef (and bones if using) and brown it for a few minutes. Add the carrots, celery, leeks and onions and seal with lid on for about 5 minutes. Add beets and cabbage and continue to sweat (cook with the lid on). After about 7 minutes, add the stock and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer (covered) for 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until the meat is cooked. Peel and grate the remaining 2 beets finely. Place in a bowl and add vinegar, a pinch of salt and enough water to cover -- this process will "bleed" the beets and give red colour to the finished soup. When the soup is cooked, add the strained juice from the grated beets. Adjust seasonings. Serve with a spoonful of sour cream and fresh, chopped dill. Notes: Measure the vegetables AFTER cutting them. I normally par-boil beef cubes in plenty of water and 1/2 teaspoon each crushed garlic and ginger before cutting into juliennes. I then use the stock in making the soup. This cuts down on the cooking time and the garlic and ginger give a wonderful aroma to the Borscht. This is a personal variation from the traditional method of making this soup.

Boston Cream Pie from Portland, OR Cake Layer: 1/4 cup solid vegetable shortening 1 cup white sugar 1 egg 1-3/4 cups all-purpose white flour 4 teaspoons baking powder 1/8 teaspoon salt 1 cup milk 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Cream Filling: 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons all-purpose white flour 6 tablespoons white sugar 1 egg 1/2 cup milk Pinch salt 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract Chocolate frosting Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans. Cream the shortening with the 1 cup sugar. Add 1 egg and beat until blended. Sift the 1-3/4 cups flour together with the baking powder and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Add to the creamed mixture alternately with the milk. Stir in the vanilla. Divide the batter between the cake tins. Bake for 20 minutes or until a tester inserted near the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto wire racks to finish cooling. To make the filling, combine the flour with the sugar in a small saucepan. Add the egg, milk, and salt. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the filling is smooth and thick. Stir in the vanilla. Chill in the refrigerator. To assemble, spread the filling between the cooled cake layers and top with the frosting.
Boston Cream PieCake: 1 1/4 cups sugar 1 1/2 stick butter ( not margarine ) 2 tsp pure vanilla 2 large eggs 2 cups all purpose flour 1/4 tsp dalt 3 tsp baking powder 1 cup milk ( skim is fine too but will be a bit less rich ) Custard: 1/3 cup sugar 3 Tbs cornstarch 3/4 cup half and half 3/4 cup cream 3 eggs dash salt 2 tsp pure vanilla 3 Tbs butter ( not margarine ) Glaze: 6 0z pkg semi sweet chocolate chips 3 Tbs water 2 Tbs butter ( not margarine) 2 Tbs light corn syrup dash salt Made this for Mother's Day which we all enjoyed! Directions Tips: make cake ahead of time, Freeze: then when partially frozen, slice cake in half, filling with prepared chilled custard. Then wrap and chill cake overnight to keep cake and custard chilled and moist. Before serving make the glaze and pour over the cake, smooth top and sides if you wish or just let it drip over. One can of course, prepare the glaze and chill it - but it will harden. If you want a soft frosting I suggest to use a chocolate buttercream frosting which can be chilled and remain soft. So: for cake: Beat butter, sugar and vanilla and cream light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time. Sift dry ingredients and add with milk to creamed mixture blending into a smooth batter Pour in a greased and floured 9 inch springfiorm pan. Bake in a preheated 350F oven, about 1 hour or tested done in center with toothpick in center. The cake wont be that tall, but when filled and glazed, the pieces are nice size. Cool completely in pan, remove . Custard: Mix everything ( except butter and vanilla ) in a saucepan off heat . whisk till well mixed. Then over medium heat cook and stir constantly until thick. Remove from heat and add butter and vanilla. If for some reason your custard may be lumpy, just use this tips most chefs use, that is strain the custard into a bowl and discard lumps remaining in strainer. Also if you feel custard is too thick, easily thin by whisking in a bit of milk or cream. If you like a bit of rum flavor, add it too. Glaze: I simply put all the ingredients in a micro safe dish and heat on high a minute ( or two ) and then whisk smooth, or one can make it the old fashioned way by gently heating glaze ingredients over a double boiler Assemble: Cut cake, fill with cream almost to the edges. Don't despair if some custard flows onto the dish. While the glaze is warm, pour and spread it over the cake. Garnish if desired. serve at one.

Bouche de Noel For the cake: 1 1/4 cups cake flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 7 large eggs -- separated 1 cup sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 3 tablespoons confectioner's sugar 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon For the filling and frosting: 21 ounces bittersweet chocolate -- such as Lindt 1 1/2 cups creme fraiche or heavy cream -- non pasteurized 1/2 cup chestnut puree Preheat the oven to 375�F. Line a 17 x 11 x 1-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper. Brush it with melted butter, and dust it with flour. Prepare the cake: Sift the flour, baking powder and salt together onto a sheet of parchment paper. Beat the egg yolks and 3/4 cup of the sugar with the whisk attachment in an electric mixer until the mixture is thick and lemon colored. Add the dry ingredients at low speed, mixing until just incorporated. Add the vanilla, mix quickly and thoroughly, and set aside (the batter will be quite thick). In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt until they form soft points. Add the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar and whisk until the egg whites are glossy and form points that stand up but are not too stiff. Fold one-fourth of the egg whites into the cake batter until they are incorporated, then fold in the remaining egg whites, working quickly. They should be incorporated into the batter, but do not overmix it. Spread the batter in the prepared pan, and bake until the cake is golden and your finger makes a slight indentation in the top of the cake when you press it, 8 to 10 minutes. While the cake is baking, sift the confectioner's sugar over a clean kitchen towel. Remove the cake from the oven, and immediately invert it onto the sugar-dusted towel. Peel the parchment paper from the cake, and starting from one long side, gently roll the cake up in the towel. Allow it to cool for 30 minutes. Make the frosting: Melt the chocolate and the cream together in a medium-sized, heavy saucepan over medium heat. Shake the pan occasionally, and when the chocolate has completely melted, whisk the mixture so it is completely combined. Let it cool to room temperature, so it is thick enough to spread. Transfer 3/4 cup of the chocolate mixture to a small bowl, and whisk in the chestnut puree. Season with vanilla if you like. When the cake has cooled, unroll it and trim off the edges so it is perfectly even, reserving the trimmings. Spread the filling evenly over the cake to within about 1/8-inch from the edges, and roll the cake back up. Roll the trimmings into spirals, and affix these to the sides of the cake with any leftover filling (usually two "knots" are sufficient!). Using the frosting, generously frost the cake, including the knots and the ends. Let the cake rest for about 15 minutes, then decorate it, first with the tines of a fork, then with the decorations of your choice. Let sit for at least 8 hours and up to 24 before servings. NOTES : This is a simple recipe for a wonderful bouche de Noel. The cake is a bit heartier than the typical genoise, which suits my taste, and the hint of cinnamon gives it an aromatic layer of flavor. You may change and adjust flavorings, drizzle the cake with a rum or a sugar syrup flavored with vanilla after it's cooled, or do any number of things to make it your own.
Bouche de Noel 2Serves 10 6 eggs 1 cup cake flour 1 cup sugar 1 tsp baking powder 1 tsp vanilla Ganache 1 cup powdered sugar 3 Tbsp milk 3 Tbsp flavored liqueur of choice 2 ounces semi-sweet chocolate 6 oz butter -- (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted Beat the eggs for 3-4 minutes on med. high or about 5 minutes by hand. Add the sugar and vanilla and beat well. In a bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Add to the egg stirring to combine well. Grease a jelly roll pan or baking sheet with sides. Spread with parchment paper, grease and flour the paper in the pan. Then pour in the batter and bake at 400*F until cake is springy when touched with finger., 15-18 minutes. Sprinkle a kitchen towel with powdered sugar and use the towel to turn out the cake. Roll the cake in the towel starting with the short end. Let cool,then unroll gently so as not to crack the cake and frost inside with ganache or icing. Roll the cake back up and ice with more ganache or icing and decorate with meringue mushrooms, ivy, cranberries or nuts. For an authentic touch use a kitchen fork to trace "log" lines on the outside of log. You may use lighter colored ganache on the ends to resemble a log.
Bouche de Noel 3from PA, US Cake Batter 4 eggs, separated 1/2 cup sugar, divided 1/4 cup cake flour 4 tablespoons cocoa powder 1 pinch of salt 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract Butter Cream 4 oz. good quality white chocolate, melted 1 pound sweet butter, softened out of refrigerator for 1 hour 1 pound SIFTED 10X powdered sugar 4 egg whites 2 tablespoons B&B liqueur 1 tablespoon orange zest, grated 1 teaspoon orange extract 4 oz. good quality dark chocolate, melted Preheat oven at 425 degrees. In your clean mixer, beat 4 egg whites and 1/4 cup of sugar until soft peaks form. Transfer to a glass or stainless steel bowl. In a separate glass bowl, SIFT the flour, cocoa powder and salt. In your cleaned mixer bowl, combine 4 egg yolks and the remaining 1/4 cup sugar. Whisk for approximately 5 minutes until the eggs are pale yellow and thickened. Remove bowl from the mixer and fold in the beaten egg whites gently. Add the flour mixture and mix for one minute until well blended - do not over-mix. Line a 11" x 17" jelly roll pan with buttered waxed paper. Spread the mixture in the pan and bake for 7 to 10 minutes, or until the cake is springy to touch or it begins to pull away from the sides of the pan. Take immediately out of the jelly roll pan and let cool. In the meantime, make the butter cream. In a double melt the white chocolate or place in the microwave for 10 to 15 seconds. In a mixing bowl, place the softened butter (not melted, just out of the refrigerator for about 1 hour). Add the 10X sifted powder sugar, mix until well blended. With machine on low speed, slowly add the egg whites, B&B liqueur, orange zest and orange extract. With machine on medium speed, mix until light and fluffy then fold in the white chocolate. Place a piece of plastic wrap on your table and invert the genoise cake top side down. Carefully remove the wax paper. Cover the entire surface of the cake with an even layer of the butter cream (save some for the outside). Using the plastic wrap as an aid, roll the cake on the long side, tight as a log. Using a sharp knife, even both ends of the cake with a clean cut. Then cut 2 end pieces approximately 2" at a 45-degree angle. Transfer the rolled cake onto a platter, seam side down. Place the 2" end pieces on the cake to resemble tree stumps. You may use some of the butter cream to make them stick better. Add the melted dark chocolate to the remaining butter cream. Using a spatula spread the now dark butter cream to cover the entire surface. Using a fork, run lines throughout the entire cake to simulate tree bark. Garnish with some meringue mushrooms and fresh holly.

Rinse barley , drain and cook by package directions ( usually takes about one hour stove top ). Drain , rinse and drain well again.. Place barley in a large serving bowl and add and mix in the remaining ingredients. One may add more of everything to taste. Serve at room temperature or chilled. I was also thinking next time I make this salad to also add cooked roasted corn kernels. Yield : 8 to 10 servings.

If you do choose to include it (it will give the dish a satiny texture), ask your local butcher for it or check an oriental market) 2/3 Cup grated Parmigiano 1 large egg salt and pepper to taste string a small onion, minced a small carrot, minced a 6-inch stick of celery, minced a slice of pancetta, minced 2 tablespoons butter 1/2 cup tomato sauce 1/2 cup dry white wine (optional) To thin them, pound the cutlets well with a meat pounder or the flat of a wide knife frequently dipped in water. Mix the remaining veal, the prosciutto, the marrow, and the cheese together, adding the egg last to bind the mixture; season it with a pinch of pepper (salt shouldn't be necessary because of the prosciutto and the Parmigiano). Stretch the cutlets out and spread the mixture over them, then roll them up and tie them with string. Mince the onion, celery, carrot, and pancetta. Melt the butter in a skillet over a medium flame and, when the onion is lightly browned, add the veal cutlets, seasoning them with salt and pepper. When the cutlets are browned, add the tomato sauce and a little water (or the wine), cover partially, and simmer them till they're done,15-20 minutes. Remove the strings before serving. These stuffed cutlets can also be roasted in the oven. While you're preparing them, preheat the oven to 350 F. Put the cutlets on a rack, baste them with olive oil and salt, and roast them till they're done (about a half hour), turning and basting them once or twice. Serves 8

Brandied Pineapple and Ice Cream Dessert from NY, USA 1 large ripe golden pineapple brandy to taste brown sugar to taste cinnamon to taste Vanilla ice cream This simple dessert looks spectacular when served on a platter and the flavors blend ever so deliciously. Cut through the pineapple and leaves with a sharp knife to halve pineapple ( with leaves on ) vertically. With a sharp knife cut out the meat of the pineapple being careful not to cut through the shell. Dice the fruit ( discard tougher inner core ), place into a bowl and add some brandy ( probably 1/2 cup or less, sweeten with some brown sugar, add about 1/2 tsp cinnamon or to taste ) and marinade the fruit about 1 hour before serving. Arrange the empty pineapple shells on a large platter and chill. When ready to serve: heap the fruit in 1 shell and scoop about 4 ice cream balls in the other shell.

Brasilian Chicken in Piri Piri SauceServes 6 1 roasting chicken Marinade 8 garlic cloves, crushed 1 pinch salt juice of 2 lemons 1 teaspoon bay leaf powder 2 teaspoons paprika 2 tablespoons softened butter pinch salt Piri Piri sauce 4 tablespoons ground piri-piri pepper 100 ml olive oil juice of 1/2 lemon Mix all ingredients for the marinade together. If you find it annoying crushing up the garlic you can buy it pre-crushed from the shops. Using a sharp knife, cut chicken into six pieces so that you have the breast and lower part of the chicken as well as the 4 drumsticks and wings, (visualize the look of the chicken at Nando's). Cut off any excess fat but leave most of the skin as it will add to the flavor. Make several small incisions into the chicken to later help it absorb the marinade. Soak the chicken well in the marinade and allow it to marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour. Meanwhile mix the Piri Piri seasoning with the lemon juice and the oil. You can find Piri Piri seasoning easily from the shops and it saves you having to chop if 10-12 red chillies and chop up a bay leaf and such, just makes the process a lot simpler. Also add a pinch of salt. Preheat the grill and insert the chicken. Bask the chicken frequently with any excess marinade.Turn the chicken frequently and make sure it doesn't burn. Cook for approximately 30 minutes. Remove the chicken from the grill/BBQ and allow it to cool before lathering it in the Piri Piri sauce. Serve with potatoes and what ever else you desire. Charcoal grill or BBQ preferred but gas grill works almost as well.

Bread and Butter Pudding Bread and Butter Pudding Quantities stated are approximate, and guessed from experience. Just use the ingredients as needed. 1/2 loaf sliced bread 4 oz butter (approx) 4 oz sugar (approx) Raisins 2 pints milk 2 Eggs Nutmeg to taste Spread the bread with butter on both sides. Line the inside of a large ovenproof dish with buttered bread. Cover with a sprinkling of sugar and a sprinkling of raisins, and then another layer of buttered bread. Repeat until the dish is full (or until you think there is enough). Heat 1 pint of milk until it is hand-hot, and mix in the eggs. Pour this mixture over the bread, and top up with cold milk until the bread is just covered. Sprinkle a final layer of sugar and (if desired) nutmeg on the top. If possible, leave to stand for at least 1/2 hour, so the milk soaks into the bread. Cook for 1.5 hours at Gas Mark 4 / 170'C / 340'F. Submitted by Steve Lee , Robinson College, Cambridge, England.

Bread and Butter Pudding from the Dorcester Hotel I'm enjoying this digest tremendously so it's about time i post a recipe. I made this pudding for friends last Friday; as hot puddings are unknown here, they looked rather puzzled at first but they all loved it! In our family we also call it "old men's pudding" as you don't need teeth for this :-} Groetjes from Eindhoven, The Netherlands. Stephanie "A dish without at least one cat hair is not home made" Bread and Butter Pudding from the Dorcester Hotel 8-10 slices white bread, crusts removed 1/2 cup + 2 Tbs milk 1/2 cup + 2 Tbs cream (the liquid type) 3 eggs 125 gram (4 oz) sugar handful sultanas 1 jar apricot jam butter (no substitutes!) 1 vanilla pod (or use vanilla flavouring if you must) Preheat oven to 180/350. Combine milk and cream in a small saucepan add vanilla pod (cut open lengthwise). Steep on low fire for 10-15 minutes. Remove pod, scrape out black seeds and put in milk. When mixture has cooled, beat in eggs and a pinch of salt. Spread bread with butter on both sides. Spread jam on both sides. Put a layer of bread in a greased oven dish. Sprinkle half the sugar over it, add the sultanas. Cover with second layer of bread. Add second half of sugar. Pour milk-cream-vanilla-egg mixture on top. Bake for 45 minutes until golden brown. Serve with powdered sugar. Serves 5-6.
Bread Bowl Varietyfrom New Jersey, USA Bread Bowl Variety You can use any bread recipe you want. I usually use this simple one: Dissolve 2 packets of active yeast (4 1/2 t) in warm (~ body temp) water. Add one cup all purpose flour & one cup wheat flour. Mix until smooth. Keep adding flour (alternating all purpose and wheat) and mixing until very hard to mix. (about 2-3 cups) Turn out on a floured board. Knead until flour is smooth & not sticky - you will need to add more flour - another 1 1/2 - 2 cups, try to divide evenly between all purpose & whole wheat. Roll the kneaded dough in a ball. Put in a lightly oiled bowl & turn to coat the whole surface with oil. Cover & let rise in a warm place until doubled (1 to 1 1/2 hours). Punch down. Let rest 10 minutes. Divide in 4-6 smaller balls, & put them on cookie sheets. Flatten them in disks & let rise about another hour. If desired, brush with egg white (I usually don't) Cook at 375, 40-50 minutes. Bread should sound hollow when thumped. Remove from oven & let cool. Here's the tricky part. You will have 4-6 round loaves. Cut a circle out of the top of each loaf, & remove that piece of crust. You will have a thick crust bread with a circle of exposed softer bread. Smush down the inner part (you can scoop out the bread if you want to, but I prefer to leave the bread to soak up the gravy).This works great for stews and chili. If you don't let the circles rise you should get flatter loaves for 'trenchers', but I haven't tried it yet. Here are some other ideas for making bread bowls: Cornbread Bowls: Coat a baking sheet with butter-flavored cooking spray. Invert 2 (10-oz) custard cups several inches apart on baking sheet; coat outside of cups with cooking spray. Separate 1 (11.5-ounce) can refrigerated corn bread twists at perforations. Flatten each strip to a 2" width. Cover the outside of each custard cup with strips, cutting away excess and moistening edges as needed to seal strips together. Bake at 400 10 to 12 minutes. Cool on a wire rack before removing from baking sheet. Remove bowls from cups. Use to serve stews or chili. French Bread Bowls: Coat a baking sheet with butter-flavored cooking spray. Invert 2 (10-oz) custard cups several inches apart on baking sheet; coat outside of cups with cooking spray. Unroll 1 (11-oz) can refrigerated crusty French bread dough. Cut crosswise in 2 portions. Mold 1 portion of dough around outside of custard cup, allowing edges to extend straight on baking sheet on 2 sides. Cut each long extended edge of dough from center to 1/2" from custard cup, forming 2 flaps. Cross flaps & fold back over custard cup. Repeat procedure with remaining portion of dough & second custard cup. Bake at 400 10 minutes. Cool 5 minutes; remove bread from custard cups & baking sheet. Invert on a wire rack; cool completely. Use for serving chicken, tuna, & vegetable salads or thick stews. Puff Pastry Bowls: Thaw 1 (17.25-oz) package frozen puff pastry sheets. Coat a baking sheet with butter-flavored cooking spray. Invert 2 (10-oz) custard cups several inches apart on baking sheet; coat outside of cups with cooking spray. Mold 1 puff pastry sheet around outside of cup, allowing edges to extend out from bowl on baking sheet. Trim edges of dough, leaving a 1 1/2" rim around bowl on baking sheet. Repeat procedure with remaining puff pastry sheet & cup. Bake at 400 10 to 12 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack before removing pastry from baking sheet. Remove bowls from custard cups. Use for serving pudding, fruit salad, or a thick stew. Yield: 2 (10-oz) bowls. Phyllo Bowls: Thaw 8 sheets frozen phyllo dough. Coat a baking sheet with butter-flavored cooking spray. Invert 2 (10-oz) custard cups several inches apart on baking sheet; coat outside of cups with cooking spray. Cut phyllo sheets in half crosswise. Layer 8 half sheets on 1 custard cup, coating top of each with cooking spray and turning slightly so that corners of pastry fan out on baking sheet. Mold phyllo dough as previously described. Repeat procedure with remaining 8 half sheets on second custard cup. Bake bowls at 400 7 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack before removing from baking sheet. Remove bowls from cups. Use for serving fruit or vegetable salads. Yield: 2 (10-ounce) bowls. Won ton Wrapper Bowls: Pour vegetable oil to a depth of 4" in a Dutch oven; heat oil to 350. Place 1 won ton wrapper on the surface of oil. Immediately submerge wrapper in oil by pressing the wrapper down in the center with the bottom of a wire whisk or bowl of a small ladle (bottom should be 1 to 1 1/2" in diameter). Fry 1 minute or until golden. Remove with tongs; drain upside down on paper towels. Use for serving salad dressings, dips, or sauces. Sourdough Bread Bowls: There are two ways to make them, using either 20 eight-oz sourdough bread loaves or ten 1-pound round sourdough bread loaves. If using 20 eight-oz bread loaves, cut off tops. Using small knife, cut out centers, leaving 1" shell. Or, use 10 one-pound loaves, cutting each horizontally in half. Cut off thin slice from top half of each loaf. Turn top of loaf trimmed side down. Cut out center of top & bottom halves, leaving 1" shell. Reserve trimmings for another use. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; let stand at room temperature.) Preheat oven to 400. Brush insides of bread bowls with melted butter. Place bread bowls on oven racks. Bake until crusty and brown, about 15 minutes. Transfer bread bowls to wire rack to cool. Great for serving chili. Yield: 20 bowls. Bread Bowl Italian 1 lb. sweet Italian sausage 1 med. onion, chopped 1 green bell pepper, diced 1 1/2c. any pasta sauce 1 large round Italian bread 1c (4 oz) shredded mozzarella cheese Preheat oven to 400F Spray a large skillet with veg. oil spray. Brown sausage thoroughly on all sides; continue to cook until sausage is done. Remove and slice sausage, drain fat, sauté onion & peppers until tender. Return sausage to pan; add sauce. Cover and simmer until heated through. Meanwhile, horizontally slice & remove the top third of bread loaf. Hollow out bottom of loaf, leaving a 3/4" shell. Place on baking sheet; fill with sausage mixture. Evenly top with cheese. Bake 15 minutes or until bubbly. Place top of bread on loaf. Slice in wedges. Serves 6. Bread Bowl BBQ 1 bottle BBQ sauce (or sloppy Joe sauce) 1 loaf Italian bread 8 oz. shredded mozzarella cheese Brown the meat, drain thoroughly. Add the BBQ sauce (or sloppy Joe sauce, ) & simmer 5 to 10 minutes. While this mixture is simmering, cut the loaf the long way leaving it bigger on the bottom than on the top. Hollow out the bread leaving a sturdy shell. (Removed bread can be tucked in a zip lock baggie & put in the freezer. Save for making bread crumbs...) Spoon the meat mixture in the shell, then top with the cheese. Cover with the top part of the loaf. Wrap in tin foil, place on a baking sheet. Bake at 375 20 minutes, until bread is crusty & cheese is melted.

Brenda's Belgian EndivesOK, I'm feeling a little guilty and felt I should submit a recipe or two. Here goes...I made this first one up. I had some leftover potatoe soup and used it as a sauce. Brenda's Belgian Endives Cut each Endive in half lengthwise and saute cut side down in equal parts butter and olive oil (1/2 tsp each, to prevent butter from burning) on medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer Endives to baking dish. Sprinkle fresh cut corn off the cob over Endives. Pour cream of Potatoe soup over Endives and corn. [If time permits (and you feel a little adventurous), blend 1 to 2 cups mashed potatoes with 1/4 cup cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup (or more) chicken stock to make smooth sauce.] Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bake in 350! oven for 20-30 minutes or until tender. After removing from oven sprinkle with chives and serve. Brenda Turner Santa Clara, CA USofA ps Apple's not going out of business!!!

Bric-a-brac Casserole from Sydney, Australia Bric-a-brac Casserole This is the only useful thing I have ever thought of that uses creamed corn. You are by no means limited by the suggested ingredients. Anything would suit virtually. It's what happens the night before the shopping gets done and there is no food left in the house. 2 tbs butter 2tbs plain flour 1 cup milk First make a masking sauce, by melting the butter in a saucepan, stir in the the flour. Do not let it burn. add the cup of milk and stir until it boils, allow to thicken on standing. Saute some vegetables in a little butter or oil.(things like onions, carrots, potatoes, mushrooms, whatever you like). Add some creamed corn or some cream of something soup. Add some tuna or salmon or cooked chicken. You could even add some hardboiled eggs if you've got some that are getting old but are not off yet. Fold through the masking sauce. Add salt and pepper to taste. This is really good on toasted sandwiches, on toast, even with buttered noodles or rice. The beauty of it is you can easily use whatever you have to gte rid of in a hurry. Yours Claire Cross, Sydney, Australia

Brie with Smoked Salmon and Dill1 lg. round of Brie cheese Smoked salmon with black peppercorns ( 8 oz or as desired ) Fresh Dill, chopped This makes a superb appetizer and possibly a very expensive one too. I usually try to get the smoked salmon and cheese on sale if I can. Smoked salmon freezes well. Score the Brie around the edges into three layers. Then separate into 3 rounds using dental floss. Then place slices of smoked salmon evenly to cover the layers and sprinkle with the dill. Press some chopped dill over top of the Brie. Wrap the whole cheese carefully in plastic wrap for 24 hours to mingle flavors. To serve , carefully cut Brie into wedges. Note: serves 12 or more. For a smaller appetizer use a smaller round of Brie and less salmon and dill. Note: I prefer to always remove the top rind of the Brie as I don't care for the rind.
BrigadeiroThis candy is named after a reknowned brazilian politician of the 1920's, Brigadeiro Eduardo Gomes. He was an Army brigadier general who first gained notoriety for playing a part in quashing a communist coup in Rio. He later ran unsuccessfuly for the presidency in 1946 and 1950, during a brief breeze of democracy which blew after WWII. The name of the candy is that of his rank, Brigadeiro. Now, why would anyone name candy after an army general? Well, back in 1922, he was tall, dark-haired with blue eyes. AND SINGLE!!! Having been born half a century too late, I am left to dream about the general and eat candy. :-(( But you guys can enjoy the recipe. Later, Jazzbel * Exported from MasterCook * Brigadeiro Recipe By : Anonymous Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 1 can sweetened condensed milk -- (395g) 3 tablespoons cocoa powder 1 tablespoon butter -- sof 1 package chocolate sprinkles In a heavy saucepan, mix the milk, cocoa and butter. Stir to dissolve the chocolate. Put over low heat and stir constantly with a wooden spoon. Continue stirring and cooking until you are able to see the bottom of the pot when you tilt the pan(the mixture will just slide quickly). This should take 10-12 minutes. Transfer to a greased plate. Let cool. Butter your hands and roll the mixture into small balls and roll over the chocolate sprinkles. Variations: you can substitute the cocoa powder for 100g baking chocolate. If you want a lighter candy use powdered chocolate(such as quick). You can also put raisins or nuts in the center of the candy. You can decorate with powdered sugar instead, or cocoa powder.
Brined and Roasted Turkeyfrom New York, USA 1, 15 to 20 lb fresh turkey Herbal Brine: 2 gallons of water 1 1/4 cups kosher salt 4 1/2 cup sugar several fresh sprigs each: parsley, sage, rosemary, thyme, dill, tarragon 1 tsp each: whole black peppercorns, juniper berries, fennel seed, mustard seed, cardamom pods, cloves several bay leaves 2 large lemon sliced The idea of a brine is to impart flavor as well as keep the meat moist. I have used the brine method before but it is sometimes inconvenient in preparation because the brine container takes up space in the refrigerator. In a large pot combine everything and bring to a boil and stir to dissolve sugar. Let cool completely to room temperature. Find a container large enough which will hold the turkey and the brine and fit in your refrigerator.!! Often the very large oven roasting bags could suffice. However I got my large plastic container ( it held pickles or some such thing ) from a local gourmet food store . Place the turkey in the container and cover with the cooled brine. Make sure the entire turkey is covered - or turn on occasion if needed . Keep covered in the brine for 2 days. Then drain turkey ( do not rinse ) and pat dry- make sure you remove any whole spices etc.. Stuff turkey if you wish. Place turkey in roaster pan and rub down skin with melted butter or margarine. Season if you wish. Use an oven thermometer for the best cooking guide. Roast 350F until turkey is done. I usually roast 15 minute per pound unstuffed and 20 minutes per lb if stuffed . I also use the insta-read thermometer to test. Baste turkey frequently with pan juices. Notes: because of the sugar content, the turkey will turn golden before it is done cooking. So use a sheet of heavy duty aluminum foil to cover if browning too quickly. Let turkey sit 30 minutes before carving. Yield: one beautiful browned and moist turkey. Use kosher salt ( it is a coarse easily dissolving salt- found easily at most supermarkets )
Brisket with Saurkraut and Applesauce from USA Brisket with Saurkraut and Applesauce 1 can stewed tomatoes cut up ( 1 lb can) 8 oz. of prepared saurkraut ( canned or fresh/fozen ) 1 cup canned or homemade sweetened applesauce 2 tbs. dark brown sugar or to taste 1, 3 pound beef brisket In a large cook pot place undrained tomatoes, saurkraut with applesauce and brown sugar. Bring to a boil. Lower heat and add brisket so that mixture can cover some of brisket.Cover and simmer until meat is fork tender ( about 3 hours ); spooning sauce over brisket intermittantly. When meat is done, place brisket on serving platter. Remove excess fat from pot. Season sauce to taste ( more sugar, spices etc. ). Thicken if desired with a bit of cornstarch mixed with some cold water and add to sauce and cook and stir till thickened. For best serving, prepare brisket ahead of time, let cool completely, slice meat, cover with sauce and refrigerate till needed ( may be frozen ). Gently reheat and serve slices of meat and sauce. .Serves 6 Visit our web page: personal as well as fabulous culinary topics http://www.pipeline.com/~rosskat/

Broccoli Cheese Soup Brocolli Cheese Soup This is a rich, hearty and delicous soup that I based on a basic cream of brocolli soup. 4 QTS Chicken Stock 1 LARGE head of Brocolli 1 Small Bulb (not clove) of Garlic 1/2 PINT Heavy Cream 1/2 LB gruyere Cheese, shredded 1/2 whole nutmeg, pulverized 1 TBLSPOON White Pepper Dash of Tobasco Sauce 1/2 CUP Flour 1/2 CUP Butter Cut brocolli into small pieces, and peel the garlic cloves from the bulb. Steam for about 20 minutes until fully cooked and soft. In a large stock/soup pot prepare a roux using the Flour & Butter, do not darken past a light blonde color. Over a medium heat slowly add the chicken stock, a cup at a time until all the stock is incorporated. Place the brocolli and garlic in a blender and puree. Add the brocolli puree to the stock. Add the nutmeg, pepper, and tobasco sauce and cook over medium heat for 30 minutes. Slowly add the shredded cheese and stir until melted. Add the heavy cream while stirring. Allow this to cook for another 10 minutes. Serve Hot. A couple of hints: retain some whole brocolli pieces, if you like. use a different cheese if you prefer. a good homemade stock is really the secret here. Chicken Stock: I use a basic chicken soup recipe: 1 WHOLE Chicken 2 MED yellow onions, cut 4 carrots, cut 4 celery stalks, cut celery leaves from celery heart 4 plum tomatoes, cut 1/2 a parsley bunch Bay Leaf 2 TBLSPOON Salt 2 TBLSPOON Sugar Combine all ingredients in a large stock pot and simmer for 4-6 hours. Serve as soup with all the veggies/chicken or strain for a marvelous chicken stock suitable for freezing. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alan Dorchak china@gate.net N Miami Beach, FL.

Broiled Oriental Swordfish from New Jersey, USA Broiled Oriental Swordfish 2 T. fresh lemon juice 2 T. soy sauce 1 T. olive oil 1 T. ginger, freshly minced 1 clove garlic, peeled & finely minced 1/2 lb. swordfish steak, cut 1 1/4 to 1 1/2" thick 2 scallions, thinly sliced on diagonal 1 lemon, cut in half Combine lemon juice, soy sauce, olive oil, ginger & garlic in a bowl. Marinate fish in mixture 1 hour in refrigerator, turning occasionally. Remove from marinade, scrape off the ginger & garlic that clings. Strain marinade, reserving liquid. Preheat broiler. Put swordfish on a lightly oiled, flat broiling dish. Brush with reserved marinade. Broil fish, 4" from heat, to desired degree of doneness, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Do not overcook. Sprinkle with scallions, garnish with lemon halves. Serve immediately. Serves 2.
Broiled Trout from New Jersey, USA Broiled Trout On occasion I have been the happy recipient of freshly caught trout. These splendid small fish can be served in a large number of ways, but broiling is a good choice. Allow one fish per person. trout salt olive oil lemon wedges and juice fresh tarragon butter Scale and wash the fish, and make sure the inside is well cleaned. Cut off the head, and either cut around all fins, or remove them. Pat dry. Very lightly salt the inside, and place several sprigs of fresh tarragon inside each fish (optional). Coat very lightly with olive oil, or oil of your choice. This will keep them from drying out and also prevent their sticking to the broiler pan. Broil for 3-4 minutes per side, turning carefully. Make certain the fish is cooked thru, but not dried out. Remove tarragon before serving. This method works well for many varieties, both large and small. Filleting small fish after cooking is much easier, allows one to get rid of all the small bones, and reserves the flesh for eating rather than ending up on the cutting board. To fillet after cooking, carefully lift the skin starting at the head end. Loosen the skin all the way across, then lift and pull it down the length of the fish. It should come off in one piece if properly cooked. Now starting at the top again, lift under the backbone with a fork, and guide with a table knife, down the length of the fish to remove the backbone from the lower fillet, while turning the top fillet away from you to the plate beside the bottom fillet. If done smoothly and quickly, the fillet will not break apart. Good luck here, that is the trickiest part! And the bigger the fish, the more deft one must be. A fish server is helpful but not necessary. Now lift the backbone with its attached small bones up from the inside of this top fillet. If properly cooked, they will all be removed. Now turn the lower fillet carefully and remove the skin. Dress these lovely little fillets with a bit of lemon butter, or plain lemon and enjoy! I like to serve broil trout or any sweet small fish fillets with lightly seasoned rice, or boiled new potatoes, and a mixed fresh vegetable dish, such as green or yellow beans, with carrots and peas or pea pods. A salad with a light creamy dressing is better than too strong a vinaigrette which can take away from the delicate flavor of the fish. Finish with a citrus sherbet, or mixed fresh fruit containing citrus, and you'll have a meal worth remembering for a long time.
Broiled Trout with Tarragon and Lime from New Jersey, USA Broiled Trout with Tarragon and Lime Broiled Trout with Tarragon and Lime Servings: 4 2 whole rainbow trout (8 to 10 oz each) 1 T olive oil 1 fresh tarragon bunch, chopped 1 small fresh Italian parsley bunch, chopped 1 lime, thinly sliced Preheat broiler.

Spread remaining tarragon and parsley sprigs and lime slices on broiler pan as a bed for trout. Top tarragon, parsley and lime with trout. Broil trout about 4" from heat source until skin is brown, about 5 minutes. Using a spatula, carefully turn trout over and broil until trout are cooked through, about 4 minutes. Arrange trout on serving platter. Garnish with lime wedges and serve.

Brownie Crackle-top Cookies from US 1-1/2 cups (6-1/4 ounces) unbleached all-purpose flour 1-1/2 cups (10-1/2 ounces) sugar 1-1/2 tsp baking powder 3/4 tsp salt 6 Tbsp (3/4 stick, 3 ounces) unsalted butter, melted and cooled to room temperature 3/4 cup (2-1/4 ounces) cocoa powder, Ghiradelli preferred 3 large eggs, at room temperature 1 tsp vanilla extract 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips (may use mini's) 3/4 cup (3 ounces) confectioners' sugar, for coating cookies In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly mixed. Set aside. Scrape the melted butter into a smaller bowl with a spatula and add the cocoa powder. Stir until combined and no lumps remain. Mix vanilla extract with eggs, then whisk into cocoa butter mixture. Add wet mixture to dry flour mixture and mix thoroughly. It will eventually reach the consistency of stiff brownie batter. Fold in chocolate chips. Refrigerate dough for 15 minutes. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with silpat baking liners or parchment paper. (If you do not line the baking sheets, be sure to lightly grease them.) Pour confectioners' powdered sugar into a small bowl. Scoop dough by teaspoons, roll into balls, and drop into powdered sugar, rolling around to cover completely. Place on prepared baking sheets 1-1/2 inches apart. Bake cookies for 12 to 15 minutes. The cookies will spread, puff a bit, and form cracks. The longer you cook them, the more crispy they will become. Let cool 10 minutes on the cookie sheets before using a spatula to remove to racks and cool completely. Store in a covered container. Yield: about 3 to 4 dozen cookies, depending on size

Brownie Sugar Cake from NY, USA 2 cups brown sugar 2 cups flour 2 tsp baking powder 1 tsp cinnamon 1 stick butter or margarine melted 4 heaping Tbs. of baking cocoa 1 cup water 1/2 cup oil 2 eggs 1 tsp vanilla 1/2 cup buttermilk Experimenting with a common chocolate cake recipe , we liked the results. One can use all white granulated sugar instead of all brown sugar. The white sugar cake comes out darker in color and the texture is also a bit different. However both versions are very tasty. I did not use any baking soda in the recipes. Stir together the sugar and flour with cinnamon and baking powder in a large bowl and set aside. In a sauce pot add the melted butter or margarine , baking cocoa, oil and water and cook over medium heat and stir and bring to a full boil. Immediately remove from heat and pour over dry ingredients and beat on low speed to mix well. Add eggs, vanilla and buttermilk and mix well with mixer. Pour into a well greased large fluted bundt pan. Bake 325F about 50 to 60 minutes or until top springs back and cake tester comes out with moist crumbs. Let cool in pan 15 minutes and invert and remove. Let cool completely. Chill covered overnight before serving. Sprinkle with powder sugar if desired. Freezes well. Note. if desired one may pour a chocolate icing over the cooled cake if desired.

Burmese Tomato Saladfrom Neversink, NY 4-5 tomatoes, de-seeded and sliced 1 T turmeric and garlic oil 1 small onion, sliced very thin and rinsed in cold water 1 T sesame seeds, toasted ½ c cabbage, shredded very finely 1 lime juice ½ c peanuts, chopped 1 bunch coriander (cilantro) roughly chopped salt or fish sauce to taste Method: Prepare all the ingredients and toss them together with your clean hands at the last moment possible before serving. Fresh green chilis can also be added for those who love spiciness. This salad makes a nice base for many other salads. I have successfully added avocados, chicken, blanched broccoli and green beans. More or less cabbage can be added depending on your needs. A very nutritious salad with the sesame seeds and peanuts providing extra protein and fat. Absolutely delicious. Green tomatoes can be substituted for ripe ones for a Shan-style salad.

Bushman's Roast Lamb Dinnerfrom Australia 6/8/10 Lamb Lion Chops cut 1" Thick Tomato Sauce or Ketchup if you're from anywhere else Salt Pepper Spice Options: Lamb Seasoning or Oregano or none This recipe is supposed to be a couple of hundred years old and was what Australian bushmen did in place of a roast dinner when times where hard and they could not afford to by roasting meat.

Do not turn over! Place in moderate oven for 45/60 minutes turning up heat for last 10 minutes to just give a tinge of burn (improves taste dramatically if you get it right!) Take from oven and put on paper towel to remove excess fat (lamb is fatty --- ) serve hot with your favourites: mash potato, roast potatoes, carrots, peas, etc, etc. This will be one of the simplest and best tasting lamb dinners ever if you can get it right!

Butter Beans with Bacon and MustardHi Dave Another recipe for your club ......... BUTTER BEANS WITH BACON AND MUSTARD Nothing in the cupboard but a can of butter beans? Tizzy them up with bacon and mustard in this great little recipe, adapted from Nigel Slater's new 30-minute cook book and printed in this morning's Natal Mercury in Durban by our cookery writer Janis Fraser - so I haven't tried it - until tonight!

Butter Bowtie Cookies from Chicago, IL 1 pound (450g.)sweet (unsalted) butter, 1 cup (240mL) sugar, 4 hard-boiled egg yolks, finely crumbled 4 cups (920mL) white flour, 1 ½ teaspoons (7mL) vanilla extract. Thoroughly mix the butter, sugar, egg-yolks and vanilla extract, then slowly mix in the flour and knead. If the mixture appears to be too liquid, add a little flour. Place the kneaded ball into the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. Roll out the mixture on a board until about ¼ inch thick (about 7mm) - this is the thickness of a standard pencil. Cut strips about ¼inch wide and 6 inches (150mm) long, and twist into a figure-eight, like a pretzel. Break an egg, and smear the bow-ties. Sprinkle with colored sugar. (Alternatively, you may sprinkle with poppy seed instead). Place on baking tray and insert into oven preheated to 350°F (180C) for 20 to 25 minutes. Watch carefully towards the end as the cookies burn very easily.
Butter Cookies BUTTER COOKIES --- from Esther Murray Introduction: The following recipe is actually for two different kinds of butter cookies made with essentially the same dough. The first is a thin, plain round, very buttery, sugar(or cinnamon/sugar, or cinnamon/sugar plus ground almonds) topped butter cookie. The second is a chocolate swirl cookie made by mixing a chocolate flavored thin layer of dough in with the plain dough and then rolling it into a log before cutting cookie slices from the log. The resulting cookies is heavier and has a chocolate swirl running through it as the cookie top is really the cross-section of the log. Needless to say, one doesn't have to make the chocolate cookie. This cookie recipe is derived from the "Butter Cookie(MUERBE)" recipe to be found in the settlement cookbook. The original recipe follows the "Esther" recipe. The critical thing to understand about this cookie is that the flour to butter proportions are WRONG. The best cookie batches are made with the least amount of flour. I believe I have achieved levels of below 4 cups to the pound of butter!. The problem with reducing the flour level is that it becomes increasing difficult to roll out the dough without it sticking to the rolling pin and breaking up. Also, since the cookies are rolled very thin you can only work a small piece of dough at a time. Since the round shape (made with an ordinary glass) leaves much unused dough one has to constantly rework the dough as it is becoming increasingly unmanageable. Using floor on the board and the rolling pin helps but also adds flour to the cookies. THE BEST TECHNIQUE I HAVE FOUND IS TO TRY AND KEEP THE DOUGH AS COLD AS POSSIBLE WHILE WORKING IT. Ideally a permanently chilled marble cookie board (maybe with a marble rolling pin that could be kept iced) would work best. The cookies will "rise" slightly so rolling them pretty thin is critical. The chocolate swirl guys are less of a problem because they are cut from a log and require less rolling. But then, they are not as delicate as the rounds. I. Esther's Butter Cookies 1 lb butter 1 cup sugar yolks of 2 eggs 1 whole egg rind and juice of 1/2 lemon 6 cups flour (SEE ABOVE) 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 cup almonds chopped fine 1. Cream butter, add sugar, then eggs(slightly beaten). 2. Add rind of lemon and flour mixed with baking powder (WITH ONLY ENOUGH FLOUR TO HANDLE.) 3. Take off 1/3 of dough and chill the remainder for several hours. 4. Roll out chilled dough to approximately 1/8 inch thickness. Cut out cookies with cookie cutter or water glass. 5. Brush cookie tops with white of eggs, sprinkle each cookie with chopped almonds and a little granulated sugar. Cookies should be on slightly greased (buttered) cookies sheet. 6. Bake in moderate oven (about 350 degrees) for about 10 to 15 minutes. Until they "look" done--- slightly golden to brown. The lighter the better. Cool on rack. Chocolate Swirl Cookies 7. To the remaining 1/3 of dough---melt a square of Baker's (Semi-sweet?) chocolate with a teaspoon of sugar and 2 tablespoons of water in a double boiler. Cool slightly and mix a small part of the dough into the chocolate mixture. 8. Roll out remaining dough on waxed paper. Spread chocolate flavored dough mixture on top of the rolled out dough so that it covers virtually the entire surface. Roll up lengthwise and chill for several hours or overnight. 9. Slice into thin cookies (heavier than the ones above), brush with egg white and bake at 350 as above. >From "The Settlement Cookbook" page 472, 1951 edition: No. 1 BUTTER COOKIES (MUERBE) 1 lb. butter 1 cup sugar 2 eggs, separated 6 cups flour(about) 1/2 lemon, rind and juice or 2 tablespoons brandy 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 cup almonds chopped fine Cream butter, add sugar, then the yolks of eggs, slightly beaten; add rind of lemon juice or brandy, then lemon juice and only enough flour mixed with the baking powder to handle. Chill dough several hours, then roll; cut with small biscuit cutter, brush with white of eggs; sprinkle with sugar and chopped almonds. Bake in moderate oven, 350d F., 10 - 15 minutes. Will keep for weeks. David E. Palmer

Butter Pecan Rolls Hello again, Dave. I've been enjoying everyone's recipes and feeling guilty for not contributing more, so as I was paying off a job done by middle son with a batch of these - I thought I would send it along. I don't know the origin; all I can tell you is that I never have any left... These rolls can be frozen and reheated beautifully. I think this recipe originally was from a Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook, but I can't be sure - I've been making these for over 20 years. The recipe can be doubled successfully (yielding 2 sheet cake pans or 32 rolls). 1 cake compressed yeast (1 envelope may be used) 1/4 cup lukewarm water 1 cup milk, scalded 1/4 cup shortening 1/4 cup sugar 1 tsp salt 3 1/4 to 3 1/2 cups sifted all purpose flour 1 beaten egg filling and topping (See recipes below) Soften yeast in lukewarm water. Combine next 4 ingredients; cool to lukewarm. Add 1 cup of the flour; beat well. Beat in yeast and egg. Gradually add remaining flour to form a soft dough; beat well. Brush top lightly with soft shortening; cover and let rise in warm place until double (1 1/2 to 2 hours). Punch down; turn out on lightly floured surface and divide dough in half. Roll each piece in 12 x 8 rectangle. FILLING: Brush each rectangle with 2 tablespoons melted butter. Combine 1/2 cup sugar and 2 tsps cinnamon; sprinkle half over each rectangle. Roll each rectangle as for a jellyroll, beginning with long side; seal edge. Cut each roll in eight 1 1/2-inch slices. TOPPING: In each of two loaf pans or one sheet cake pan or 2 cake pans, mix 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup butter and 1 tablespoon light corn syrup. Heat slowly, stirring frequently till blended. Remove from heat. Spring 1/3 cup pecans in each pan. Place 8 rolls cut side down in each pan. Cover; let rise in warm place until double (35 to 45 minutes). Bake in moderate oven (375 degrees) for 25 minutes or until done. Cool 2 or 3 minutes; invert on rack and remove pans. Makes 16 rolls. (If you leave the rolls in the pans to cool longer than a couple of minutes, they will stick as the caramel topping sets up. You can either place them back in the oven for a couple of minutes to heat up the caramel or try a warm water bath. I find it easier to turn them out quickly - so don't wander too far after removing the rolls from the oven.) Enjoy Kathie W. (kitwilli) In the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia

Butternut Squash with Browned Butter and Thyme from US Serves 4 1 1/2 pounds butternut squash, peeled, seeds removed, flesh diced into 1/2-inch pieces (about 4 cups) 3 Tbsp butter 1 Tbsp chopped fresh thyme (or 1 teaspoon of dried) Salt and freshly ground black pepper Heat a large skillet on medium heat. Add the butter, whisking frequently. Continue to cook the butter. Once melted it will foam up a bit, then subside. Honey-colored browned milk solids will begin to form. The butter should have a wonderful nutty aroma. Remove from heat. Add the thyme, whisking continuously. If using fresh thyme, the mixture will foam up a bit. (Note that it doesn't take much time to go from browned butter to burnt butter. You will want to remove the pan from the heat element and place it on a cool surface to help stop the cooking of the butter. If the butter burns, I recommend dumping it and starting over, something I've had to do on occasion when not paying close attention.) Add the cubed butternut squash pieces to the pan and return the pan to the burner, heating to medium high. Use a wooden or metal spoon to stir the squash pieces so they are all well coated with the butter thyme mixture. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Spread the squash pieces out in an even layer and let cook, without stirring, so that they brown a bit on one side (several minutes). Stir and spread the pieces out again and let cook without stirring so more sides get browned. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let cook until the squash is tender, 10 to 20 minutes, depending on how big you cut the pieces. Add more salt and pepper to taste, sprinkle with a bit more chopped fresh thyme before serving.

Cadbury's^® Creme Eggfrom Yardley, PA Cadbury's Creme Egg This comes from one of my favorite sites, http://www.topsecretrecipes.com — here is the recipe, verbatim, from that site. Here's a little Easter present for you. It's a clone version of the first soft fondant-filled egg candy to hit the market, many Easters ago. Now, because of the success of these chocolates with the orange yolk-colored center, other candy companies have come out with their own milk chocolate eggs. Some are filled with Snickers or Milky Way centers, while others contain peanut butter, coconut, caramel or the same type of fondant center as the original...right down to the colors. These eggs are sold only once a year, for the Easter holiday. And, in that same spirit, this recipe will only be up for a week; so get it while you can or you'll have to wait until next year. Happy Easter, everyone! 1/2 cup light corn syrup 1/4 cup butter, softened 1 teaspoon vanilla 1/4 teaspoon salt 3 cups powdered sugar 4 drops yellow food coloring 2 drops red food coloring 1 12-ounce bags milk chocolate chips 2 tablespoons vegetable shortening 1. Combine the corn syrup, butter, vanilla, and salt in a large bowl. Beat well with an electric mixer until smooth. 2. Add powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing by hand after each addition. Mix well until creamy. 3. Remove about 1/3 of the mixture and place it into a small bowl. Add the yellow and red food coloring and stir well to combine. 4. Cover both mixtures and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm. 5. When mixtures are firm, roll a small, marble-size ball from the orange filling, and wrap around it a portion of the white filling that is roughly twice the size. Form this filling into the shape of an egg and place it onto a cookie sheet that has been brushed with a light coating of shortening. Repeat for the remaining filling ingredients, then refrigerate these centers for 3-4 hours or until firm. 6. Combine the milk chocolate chips with the shortening in a glass or ceramic bowl. Microwave chocolate on high speed for 1 minute, then stir and microwave again for 1 more minute, and stir. 7. Use a fork to dip each center into the chocolate, tap the fork on the side of the bowl, then place each candy onto wax paper. Chill. 8. After 1-2 hours of chilling, dip each candy once more and chill for several hours, or until completely firm. Makes 2 dozen candy eggs.

Caipirinha from US Caipirinha Juice of one half of lemon sized lime 1 tablespoon sugar, preferably superfine 1 1/2 oz cachaca (Brazilian rum) ice Combine and serve -- wdk
Caipirinha 2 from Yardley, PA Ok, the important thing here is the amount of sugar. The more you add, the faster your guests will get "piss drunk". So go light on that, ok? The traditional way to do it is glass by glass. You should use a strong glass, maybe a whisky-like would be appropriate. For each glass I use 1 lime, unpeeled. I cut the "tops" off, and each lemon in about 8 little pieces. They go in the bottom of the glass. Now, sugar. Add sugar, maybe half a tablespoon over the lime pieces. Add crushed ice, a nice layer on top of the sugar. Press a little with a mortar or some creative tool availabe ( I have used the back of a wooden spoon with excelent results...) Then, add PINGA (national drink, made of sugar cane). Try to find good quality PINGA (also known as CACHACA - second C sounds like S).... Although my Brazilian friends would consider me too snobish, I have to admit that I normally do caipirinhas with vodka instead of pinga. My day after is a lot easier.... Again, the traditional way to do it is getting a second glass, exactly like the first, invert it on top of the first glass, invert the whole drink twice, very fast. It is not consider "traditional" to use a cocktail shaker. Then, you hit the glass over the table, and there you have it: caipirinha, very authentic! A tip: if you want to get drunk twice as fast, drink it from a straw. The amounts of sugar, pinga, ice, are a matter of taste, and they also depend on how acid your limes are. Play around with the ingredients, maybe while you are cooking a Brazilian menu!

Cajun Style Fish GumboRoux: 1/2 cup vegetable oil ( not olive ) 1/2 cup flour 8 cups stock: fish or chicken or vegetable ( I used vegetable ) Vegetables: 1/4 cup diced garlic 1 lg onion fine chopped 3 large celery ribs diced 3 carrots peeled and diced 2 large bell peppers, seeded and diced 1/4 cup fresh chopped parsley 6 freeze dried instant rehydrating mushrooms soaked in water, drained and sliced 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes 1 bay leaf 10 oz pkg okra Fish: 1/2 lb salmon filet cut into chunks ( firm fish ) 1/2 lb tilapia filet cut into chunks ( mild fish ) 1/2 lb real or imitation seafood mix ( lobster, shrimp, crab ) cut into chunks salt pepper smoked paprika to taste hot sauce to taste Worcestershire sauce ( optional to taste ) sassafras leaves ( optional ) as garnish to sprinke over gumbo cooked rice ( optional ) I had gumbos in restaurants of which some were so thick and paste like and other more soup stew like. My version is more like soup, cream gravy thickness. Traditionally served over bowls of white rice. Make the roux by combining the flour and the oil and mix and stir over low heat about 20 to 30 minutes or until desired color, dark golden or caramel brown etc. Do not burn! Then add and stir in the garlic and the onion and cook and stir a few minutes to release the flavors. Set aside. In a large pot with a bit of oil add the celery, carrots and peppers and cook and stir over medium high heat to soften and release their flavors . Add the stock, mushrooms, parsley,tomatoes, bay leaf , roux and whisk and stir until thickened. Lastly, stir in the fish , seafood, and okra. Bring to a gentle boil and then to a low simmer. Season with salt, pepper, drops of hot sauce and some smoked paprika to taste. Tastes even better the next day Note: it is nice to have extra roux mixture on hand so if one wants to thicken the gumbo one can add more to obtain a thicken version. Roux usually is equal parts of flour and oil or 1 1/4 part flour to 1 part oil. Serves 6 to 8 and especially good with cornbread, biscuits and butter as an accompaniment.

Cake aux Treize Desserts from Chicago, IL 3-1/2 cups farmer's cheese 3/4 cup candied fruit, such as oranges, lemons, cherries, chopped into small cubes (chop some extra for decorating the finished cake) 1-1/2 sticks nougatine, crushed 1-1/3 cups mixed nuts, chopped 1 cup whipping cream (or crème fraîche) 1/2 cup honey 3-1/2 Tablespoons of gelatin For the topping: 5/8 cup whipping cream raspberry coulis (made quickly by blending a little sugar with some frozen raspberries) Soften the gelating in a small amount of cold water. Warm the honey and combine with the gelatin. In a cold bowl, whip the cream until stiff peaks form. In a separate bowl, mix the cheese with the candied fruit, nuts and nougatine. Add the honey. Gently fold in the whipped cream. Transfer the mixture unto a sheet of plastic wrap and roll into a fat sausage. Wrap tightly with more plastic wrap and chill. About 1/2 hour before serving, beat the rest of the whipping cream until stiff and spread with a fork. Decorate with the candied fruit and serve with the raspberry coulis.
Cake Mix Cookies These cookies are just wonderful and couldn't be any easier to make. Total prep time is probably right around 20 minutes. They're an old family favorite, and they freeze extremely well. CAKE MIX COOKIES 1 package cake mix -- Devil's Food is best although you can use other flavors (not the Jiffy size -- use Betty Crocker, Duncan Hines, etc.) 2 eggs 1 tsp. vanilla 1 stick margarine, melted Any chips or nuts you want to add -- you don't need too many (chocolate chips & peanut butter chips are great, but experiment with anything that you like) Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl. Be sure to combine the dry ingredients thoroughly. The mixture will be a little stiff but fairly easy to work with. Take a heaping teaspoon full of the mixture (or use a small cookie scoop) and form a ball. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes (test it after 10 minutes) in a 350 degree oven. The cookies will probably take around 12 minutes, depending on your oven. Leave the cookies on the baking sheets for a few minutes to allow them to firm up before putting them onto cooling racks. You should be able to get about 2 1/2 dozen cookies per recipe. HINT: Yellow cake mix may leave you with a funny taste. Devil's Food is usually the best kind of cake mix to use. ENJOY!!!! -- Amy Lampert Bethesda, MD lampert@sidwell.edu

Transfer to steamer basket; cover and cook until the tip of a knife will pierce the centers with ease, about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the shallots, half of the thyme and the juniper berries. (This will seem like too much oil but in the end it will be used to dress the carrots and potatoes.) Cook slowly, stirring often, until the shallots are very soft and golden, about 15 minutes. Set aside but keep warm. When the carrots and potatoes are cooked through, transfer them to a mixing bowl. Sprinkle with the vinegar and season with the salt and pepper. Use a potato masher or large fork to smash the vegetables into a rough texture that still shows some lumps of orange and white (the "calico" in the name). Taste this mixture for salt and pepper. Adjust if necessary. Stir the remaining thyme into the cooked shallot mixture and pour the dressing over the carrots and potatoes. Mix thoroughly but lightly, again to preserve the separate orange and white colors. Serve hot. Makes 4 servings.

Make a well in the center of the flour; gently fill well with wet ingredients; wine, honey, sugar, salt, whole egg, egg white and cinnamon. Mix texture thoroughly until stiff. Shape into ball, wrap in plastic and chill for two hours. Working with one piece of dough at a time, roll out on lightly floured surface. Roll out thin. Cut dough into 4 inch squares. Wrap each square diagonally around metal or wooden cannoli form and fasten with egg white. Keep dry in oil until golden brown. Fry a few at a time. Cool slightly and remove from forms. Combine and beat together the Ricotta cheese, sugar and vanilla until smooth. Stir in milk. Add chocolate chips. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Add enough wine to make a stiff but manageable dough. Knead for about 15 minutes, until dough is smooth and soft. Add a bit more flour if necessary to prevent sticking. Roll into a ball, cover, and place in the refrigerator for 1 hour. Divide dough into 2 parts and roll into paper thin sheets on a lightly floured board. Cut into 4 inch circles or squares. Place a cannoli tube from corner to corner, diagonally across the square. Fold the opposite corners together around the tube. Brush corners with beaten egg yolk to seal and press together.

Cool to touch and remove tubes, being careful not to break the shells. Cool completely before filling. Fill shells just before serving so that they are crisp. If you do not intend to use them immediately, store them in a cool, dry place. They will keep, unfilled, for several weeks. Beat ricotta vigorously for 2 minutes. Add sugar and liqueur and continue beating for 5 minutes longer, or until smooth. Mix in chocolate and orange and store in refrigerator until ready to serve. Use a small spoon to stuff the filling into the shells. Dip the ends in chopped pistachio nuts.

Cantonese Steamed Sea Bass1 1 1/2-lb. whole sea bass (or striped bass) with head and tail, cleaned, scaled, and gills removed 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons white wine 3 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped (approx. 2 tablespoons) 4 tablespoons chopped scallions, including greens 2 tablespoons finely minced fresh ginger 2 teaspoons sugar 1/4 cup olive oil 3 tablespoons soy sauce 1. Rinse the fish inside and out with 1/4 cup of wine. 2. Select a round or oval platter that's large enough to hold the fish but will fit inside the top of a steaming utensil. This could be a traditional Chinese bamboo or metal steamer, or a Western-style clam steamer. 3. Place the fish on the platter and set platter in the top of the steamer. Cover and steam over boiling water 10 to 15 minutes. 4. Meanwhile, prepare the sauce base by combining the 2 tablespoons of wine, garlic, scallions, ginger, and sugar in a small bowl. 5. Check fish for doneness. When cooked, the flesh will be white and pull easily from the bones. Remove the platter and pour off the liquid that has accumulated around the fish. 6. Heat the oil in a wok or saucepan, and when it is hot, add the sauce base. Cook, stirring until the sauce boils. 7. Pour soy sauce over the sea bass first, and then pour the boiled sauce over the fish. Serve immediately.
Cape Malay Pickled Fish2 lb yellowtail, scaled and filleted, skin left on 5 cloves garlic 2 large onions 1 cup grape vinegar ½ cup water ½ cup golden brown sugar 8 peppercorns 4 cloves 4 allspice berries 2 bay leaves 1 Tbsp masala (curry powder) 2 tsp cumin, ground 2 tsp coriander, ground 1 tsp turmeric coarse salt, as needed oil, as needed for frying Roughly chop the garlic. Peel and slice the onions into rings. Firm up the flesh of the fish, by sprinkling coarse salt on both sides of the fillet and letting it stand in a glass bowl for 20 to 25 minutes. Thoroughly rinse the fillet under running water. Pat it dry with a paper towel. Cut the fish into serving portions leaving the skin attached. Heat oil in a frying pan and fry the fish until cooked through (Do not cover the fish with flour or batter as normal in frying fish) Place the rest of the ingredients in a large pot, bring to the boil, stirring to ensure the sugar dissolves, and does not burn on the bottom of the pot. Then simmer for approximately 8 minutes until the onions are cooked but still crisp. Layer the pieces of fish and the sauce and onions alternately in a ceramic or glass serving-dish. Ensure that the last layer of fish is covered with sauce. Leave to cool and then refrigerate. This will keep for a week in the fridge. Generally served with green salad and crisp rolls. This recipe for Pickled Fish is a traditional and authentic Cape Malay dish and a South African favorite.
Cape Town Fruit and Vegetable Curry from South Africa 4 cup coarsely chopped onions 2 tbsp peanut oil 2 garlic cloves, minced 1 tsp grated fresh ginger 1½ tbsp ground cumin seeds 1½ tbsp ground coriander seeds 1½ tsp cinnamon 1 tsp turmeric ½ tsp cayenne ½ tsp ground fennel seeds ¼ tsp black cardamom ¼ tsp ground cloves 2 med zucchini, quartered and sliced 1½ cup water 1 cup green beans 2 firm, tart apples, cored and cubed ½ red bell pepper 1 cup chopped dried apricots ½ cup raisins ½ cup strawberry conserve fresh lemon juice Sauté the onions in the peanut oil for 10 minutes. Stir in the garlic, ginger and curry spices and continue to sauté, stirring constantly for 3 minutes. Add the zucchini and water and stir well so that the spices won't stick to the pot. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Mix in the green beans, apple, peppers and dried apricots. Simmer gently, covered for about 30 minutes. Stir occasionally and add a little more water if needed to prevent sticking. When the fruit and vegetables are quite tender, stir in the raisins, the conserve and the lemon juice. Taste and adjust to your liking if necessary. If you need it to be more spicy, add more cayenne or garam masala. If you want it sweeter, add more conserve. Tarter, add more lemon juice. Serve on a bed of rice, topped with nuts and banana. Serves 6
Capellini with Crab and Spinach Capellini with Crab and Spinach 1 lb. angel hair pasta 1/2 cup broth (fish broth or weak chicken broth with 2 tsp. cornstarch dissolved) 1/2 lb. lump crabmeat 1/2 lb. fresh spinach, chopped 1/3 cup pignoli nuts (pine nuts) 1/2 cup cream Salt to taste 1 to 3 cloves garlic (crushed) Parmesan cheese (or Romano - depends on personal taste!) 1/2 cup butter (or margarine) Lightly brown pignoli nuts in teflon skillet over medium heat, shaking pan all the while. Do not allow nuts to become dark or burn. Set aside. Boil 4 quarts of water for pasta. Be careful not to overcook angel hair. (If using fresh pasta, pour 1 or 2 tablespoons of olive oil in the water while boiling). Note that _al dente_ is best and therefore it needs to cook only a few minutes after being added to the boiling water. Drain the pasta and remove to a large platter. In the meantime, melt butter with garlic. Saute first the spinach, then merely warm the crabmeat. Add the broth and allow to thicken enough to coat the spoon. Add the cream. Stir, then remove from the heat. Add the pignoli nuts to the sauce and salt to taste. Pour sauce over pasta, adding cheese (Parmesan or Romano) and pepper at the table. (NOTE: It is a nice idea to let each guest pepper their own serving using a pepper mill and fresh ground pepper.) [One variation to this recipe might be to substitute shrimp and/or scallops for the crabmeat.]
Caponata CAPONATA source:Jump up and Kiss me Spicy Vegetarian cooking by Jennifer Trainer Thompson note:Ancho chili peppers give this traditional italian appetizer a Mexican twist. The ancho is actually dried poblano pepper, with an earthy, slightly sweet, almost fruity flavor. This midly spiced dish can be made hotter by adding more anchos or a jalapeno. Serve with slices of rustic bread that have been brushed with olive oil and grilled or broiled. 1 large eggplant, peeled and diced 2 ancho chilies, stemmed and seeded(I leave some of the seeds) 1/4 cup olive oil 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced 2-3 cloves garlic, minced 1 tablespoon capers 1/4 cup cracked provencal green olices, pitted and chopped 1/2 cup tomato puree 3 small juice tomatoes, finely diced 1 small bunch fresh cilantro(leaves only), chopped 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar Preheat the oven to 350 degs. Roast the anchos on a rack in the oven until you can smell them, 1-2 minutes, then soften by soaking them in hot water for about 15 minutes.(save water if you like to add to gravy,stew, soup or vegetable sauce in place of plain water) Sprinkle the eggplant with salt and let it sit in a colander for 30 minutes to draw out the moisture. Heat oil in a large skillet. When the oil is hot, add the eggplant and stir to brown completely. Add the onion and cook until translucent. Remove the chilies from the water. Dice them, and add them to the egg plant. Add the remaining ingredients and cook for 15 minutes or until the flavors have married. Adjust the salt and heat level to your liking. leig@aol.com(Lei Gui) http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Meadows/3658 >>
Caponata 2 from NY, USA 1 medium eggplant peeled 2 large tomatoes 1 large Red bell pepper 1 small red onion 2 Tbs. fresh chopped parsley 1 small bunch of fresh basil 1 large garlic clove chopped Optional veges: mushrooms zucchini or yellow squash In a microwave dish add a few Tbs water with the coarse chopped vegetables ( except parsley and basil ) and cook covered 10 minutes or until fork tender. Do not over cook. Drain very well. One may also steam the veges on the stove top. Let cool. Then place in food processor and pulse cooked vegetables and herbs until all are coarse chopped yet the vegetables separate colors remain- ( and the mixture is not a puree or a paste ). Now season to taste with vinegar ( may be white, or red wine or balsamic ) , sugar, salt , pepper and extra virgin olive oil so mixture tastes piquant. Serve warm or chilled. Serves 8 or more. Hope you like it!
Caponata 3 from Liechtenstein 3 Tbsp good olive oil 600g (1 1/4 lb, 3 1/2 cups) diced (unpeeled) aubergine (eggplant) 1/2 medium onion, finely chopped 2 small sticks celery, finely chopped 15-20 pitted green olives, chopped 3 Tbsp chopped drained bottled capers 4 Tbsp (1/4 cup) red wine vinegar 1 1/2 Tbsp sugar, or to taste 3 Tbsp golden raisins 3 Tbsp pine nuts, toasted lightly (optional, but nice) 3/4 x 400g can (1 cup) good chopped plum tomatoes 4 Tbsp (1/4 cup) finely chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves (optional) 1. Cook the aubergine in 2 Tbsp of the olive oil over moderately high heat. The best way I've found to do this is to heat 1 Tbsp oil in a heavy frying pan, add the aubergine and mix well, then drizzle over another 1 Tbsp oil and mix again. This helps stop the cubes on the bottom from absorbing all the oil. Cook, stirring often, until done - I like my aubergine very soft, so I give it 15-20 minutes. When done, transfer to a bowl. 2. Add the remaining 1 Tbsp oil to the frying pan, tip in the onion and celery, and cook, stirring, for about 5 minutes over moderate heat or until the onion is fairly soft but not coloured. 3. Add the olives, capers, vinegar, sugar, raisins, pine nuts (if using), and tomatoes and cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, for 5-10 minutes, or until it is cooked through and the celery is tender. Cook it covered if using fresh tomatoes, and uncovered if using canned, since they have more juice. 4. Add the tomato mixture to the bowl. Add the parsley and mix well. Cool and chill overnight, then season with salt and black pepper.
Caponata di Verdura from Chicago, IL This is a winter caponata, as you might guess from the list of ingredients. It is also the traditional cold dish served on Christmas day in the Madonie region. 1 pound fresh spinach, washed repeatedly and scalded in the water that drips from the leaves until it wilts, then squeezed dry 3/4 pound chicory 1 cauliflower weighing about 1 1/2 pounds 3/4 pound cardoons (these are a flowerless relative of the artichoke; you eat the stems after stripping out the fibers as you might those of celery sticks. If you cannot find them, increase the other vegetables proportionately.) 1/2 pound Belgian endive 1/2 pound celery ribs 2/3 cup pine nuts 3/4 cup toasted bread crumbs 6 salted anchovies, scaled, boned and rinsed 6 tablespoons salted capers, rinsed 1 lemon, finely sliced white wine vinegar olive oil salt and pepper to taste Boil, or better yet, steam the vegetables individually, chop them into bite-size portions, saut them in olive oil, seasoning them with salt and pepper, and sprinkle them with a little vinegar. Lay out the caponata in a serving dish. Saute' the toasted bread crumbs in a little oil with the pine nuts, capers, anchovy filets, and lemon slices, then spread the mixture over the caponata and it's ready.

Cappelletti di Natale from Chicago, IL Christmas Cappelletti - Italy Prepare a very thin puff pastry and pull it with a rolling pin. Use the following ingredients for the stuffing: one pork steak, one veal steak, one chicken breast, 400 gr. of "stracchino" (soft cheese), two egg yolks, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and Parmesan cheese. Lightly fry the meat, mince it finely, mix everything and then make some small "cappelletti," closing them very well with the fingers. These "cappelletti" are normally cooked for the Christmas lunch, with a broth of capon, beef and turkey. Capon was the preferred course of ecclesiastic people and princes.
Cappone con le Noci from Chicago, IL This is a specialty of the Lombardy region prepared during the Christmas season.

Beat the mixture well with a wooden spoon until it is soft and dense, adding more bread or cream if necessary. Salt, pepper and add a pinch of grated nutmeg. Insert the stuffing in the capon; sew and tie the bird closed. Bring a large pot of water to a boil- the pot should be just large enough to hold the bird. Add celery and carrot, lower the heat and cook the stuffed capon in this broth over low heat for 1/2-2 hours, salting halfway through. Serve the capon carved with some of the stuffing. This dish may be accompanied by preserved spiced fruits (mostarda di frutta).

Carbonnade de BoeufCARBONNADE DE BOEUF [from McClatchy News Service in Orange County Register 16 Jan 85] 3 lbs beef chuck shoulder pot roast, boneless 2 TBS butter oil 4 large onions, thinly sliced 3 TBS flour 2 bottles (12 oz each) dark beer (SEE NOTE BELOW) 1 can (14 1/2 oz) beef broth 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped 1 1/2 tsp sugar 1 tsp thyme salt and pepper to taste 1 TBS vinegar 4 sprigs parsley 1 bay leaf 2 TBS finely chopped parsley Cut beef into 2 inch cubes. Heat butter and 1 TBS flour in a large Dutch oven. Add beef a few pieces at a time and cook until browned on all sides. Transfer to platter. If necessary, add oil to Dutch oven. Stir in onion slices. Cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until soft and golden. Remove to platter. Stir flour into remaining fat in pan (add 1 TBS butter, if necessary). Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until lightly browned. Add beer and broth and stir until smooth. Heat to boiling and boil for 1 minute. Stir in garlic, sugar, thyme, salt, pepper and vinegar. Cook over medium heat 2 to 3 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings. Stir in beef, onions, parsley sprigs and bay leaf. Heat stew to boiling and cover. Reduce to simmer and simmer slowly for 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until beef is tender. Before serving, let cool for a few minutes, skim off any fat and discard parsley and bay leaf. Sprinkle with chopped parsley. Makes 8 servings. NOTE: On the choice of beer for this, I recommend that you pick up a good example of a Belgian Beer style, and ignore the dark beer suggestion. If you have access to some try Brigand, or some other Belgian Grand Cru. Also a good American substitute would be Celis Grand Cru or Celis White. If you use a beer of these styles, taste them for acidity, and adjust the vinegar and sugar in the recipe. I personally use a Homebrewed Belgian Trippel when I make this!

Carol's Crab DipThanks for the recipes Dave - I thought I'd add a recipe for a really loved dip..... Carol's Crab Dip 1 package Softened Cream Cheese 1 bottle Kraft Seafood Cocktail Sauce Approximately 4 ounces of Crab meat (broken into small slivers) 1 box Ritz or similar crackers Spread softened cream cheese on flat serving plate (I use a small one, about the size of a dinner plate). Pour entire bottle of cocktail sauce over the cream cheese and spread evenly. Spreading evenly, put crab meat on top of cocktail sauce. Serve with crackers for dipping. Although I have not done this (yet), this could probably be done on individual crackers and served, rather than as dip. Everytime I served this, it has been the hit of the event. Hope you enjoy as well!!

Garnish with the capers. Serves 2.

Carrot Cake Here's my FAVORITE carrot cake recipe. It is always a hit at gatherings and has become my most-requested cake recipe. The "secret" is the ORANGE! Personally, I do not like raisins in carrot cake and am glad this one doesn't require them. If it did, I would simply omit them. Carrot Cake (With a Twist) Ingredients: 2 cups flour 2 cups sugar 1/2 tsp salt 2 tsp baking soda 2 tsp baking powder 1 cup salad oil 1 tsp cinnamon 1 tsp allspice 4 eggs 1 orange 2 cups finely grated carrots 1/2 to 3/4 cups chopped walnuts (or pecans) Method: Sift dry ingredients into a large bowl. Add oil and stir well making a very stiff mixture. Set aside. Wash orange and cut into small pieces (leave the peel on!). Put the orange pieces in a blender container and adding one egg at a time, beat the mixture until it is smooth and foamy. Add this mixture to the stiff mixture that was set aside. Mix well. Add 2 cups of grated carrots, mix and then add the nuts. Blend the mixture well. Pour batter into a well-greased or oiled tube pan (bundt pan). Bake in a pre-heated oven at 350 F for 40-50 minutes. The cake is done when it starts shrinking from the sides of the pan. Cool the cake in the pan for 10-15 minutes then invert it onto a cooling rack. Cool completely before icing it (recipe for icing follows). Notes: Instead of using a tube pan, you can bake the cake in a 9"x13" rectangular baking pan. In this case, reduce the baking time to 35 minutes or until done. The cake tastes equally good without the icing. I only ice it on special occasions. Store leftovers in the refrigerator. Icing: 1 (8 oz) pkg Cream Cheese 1 lb Icing Sugar 2 or 3 Tbsp oil or orange juice 1 Tbsp grated orange peel Cream cheese should be at room temperature. Mix all the ingredients together to form a smooth paste. Enjoy! Zarina Alloo zarina@gopher.ccbr.umn.edu Minneapolis, Minnesota USA

Carrot Muffins CARROT MUFFINS or mini CARROT LOAF -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 1/2 cup vegetable oil 2 Eggs 1 cup sugar 3 carrots -- grated 1 1/3 cups * flour 2 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp baking soda 1 tsp cinnamon 3/4 tsp nutmeg /or allspice 1/4 tsp ginger 1 cup ** raisins, seedless Beat oil, eggs and sugar until blended. Stir in finely grated carrots. In another bowl combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.{ * I sometimes use half whole wheat flour and half white flour to add more fiber to my diet.} { ** I soak the raisins in hot water for about ten minutes to inflate and soften them.} Then I drain them and add them to the grated carrots. Pour liquids and carrot/raisins into dry ingredients. Stir only to moisten the batter. Scoop into muffin tins. Bake in a 350 F oven for 15 to 20 minutes. P.S. I bought some of those miniature loaf tins at Christmastime. The last time I made this muffin batter I poured it into the mini-loaf tins and baked them in a 350 F oven for 20 to 25 minutes. This made six mini carrot loaves. (They were a novel nutritional treat to take in lunches.) Jane L. Lockhart

Cauliflower with Cheese CAULIFLOWER WITH CHEESE Here's a nice side dish for a company dinner or a marvelous vegetable main dish for the family--rich, though. It's popular in Britain, less well-known in the US. This is not as elaborate a recipe as it might seem. 4 side dish servings, 2 main dish l medium cauliflower, about 1 pound (or a one-pound bag of frozen cauliflower), broken into small flowerets and steamed in a small amount of water until quite tender (the frozen stuff can be microwaved on high for about seven minutes without any added water; the fresh will need about 2 tablespoonsful in the microwave). Drain cauliflower well. While cauliflower cooks, made a white sauce of: 3 tablespoons butter 3 tablespoons flour 1 1/2 cups milk 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard (My heretical way to make any flour-thickened sauce is to throw all the ingredients into the food processor, combine well, and then cook in the microwave until nicely thickened, stirring every minute and a half. No lumps, no constant stirring.) When sauce is ready, stir in 6 oz. extra sharp cheddar cheese, grated, or simply chopped fine in the food processor. Arrange cauliflower in a greased (sprayed) shallow baking pan as much as possible in one layer. Pour on the sauce and sprinkle with 3 tablespoons dry breadcrumbs 3 tablespoons grated parmesan or romano cheese At this point you can set the dish aside to be baked later for about 20 minutes at 350, or until bubbly and slightly browned. You can adjust time up or down to match what ever heat you may have the oven at for another dish; this is not a delicate kind of thing. Reheats well. Esther H. Vail, Rochester NY USA (esther@rochgte.fidonet.org)

Cedar-smoked Salmon Salad with Toasted Walnuts and Buffalo Mozzarella from Erie, PA Monster title and monster taste.

Cheddar Chowder Dave, Sorry for the earlier email of this -- the dumb blond hit the wrong button again! I have been receiving the contributions of this group for about a week and thoroughly enjoy the variety of submissions. Here is a small contribution. It is not a "politically correct" recipe in these days of reduced fat and cholesterol, but it certainly tastes great. Cheddar Chowder 6 slices of thick bacon cut in small pieces 1/4 cup minced onion 1/3 cup flour 1 cup dry sherry 1 quart whole milk 2 cups Half & Half 2 pounds shredded sharp cheddar cheese 1/2 teaspoon garlic juice 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon pepper 2 tablespoons chopped parsley Seasoned croutons if desired In a large Dutch oven cook bacon pieces until crisp. Remove and drain on paper towels. Cook minced onion in bacon drippings until they are clear. Do not brown the onion. Whisk together the flour and dry sherry. Gradually add to the onion along with the whole milk and cream, allowing the mixture to thicken each time. Stir in the cheddar cheese one cup at a time allowing each cup to melt before adding another, until all is melted. Mix all spices in a small bowl. Add some of the soup and mix together thoroughly. Return spiced soup to the main pot and stir to combine. Simmer 5 minutes. Serve in large bowls topped with bacon bits and croutons. Cheers Sue - California

Cheese LasagnaI don't make this often ( cholesterol city ) but when I do, it's like this: 1 lb lasagna noodles , cooked 2 lb container of whole milk ricotta cheese 2 lb mozarella cheese sliced 1 quart of marinara or favorite tomato sauce Italian mixed dry spices as desired ( basil, oregano, parsley, etc. ) salt and pepper powdered or fresh minced garlic as desired 1/4 cup grated fresh romano cheese ( topping ) fresh chopped Italian parsley ( garnish ) In a bottom of a large oblong or lasagna pan spoon on some sauce. Place 3 to cooked noodles to fit bottom of pan. Layer on some sliced mozzarella cheese then spoon on some ricotta over that. Sprinkle with desired amount of spices, garlic and salt and pepper. Cover with more noodes to fit, then layer on the mozzarella cheese, spooned ricotta, spices etc and spread over more sauce. Continue this method until you come to the last layer of noodles.Just spread sauce over the noodles. Sprinkle on romano cheese. Cover tightly with foil and bake 350 for 30 minutes until cheeses are melted and bubbly. Serves 12. Note: this dish is best prepared a day ahead, cooled and then reheated and served. Before serving sprinkle with fresh chopped italian parsley. Also you may use less cheese and sauce if desired. I use a 10 x 14 inch pan and I get a nice tall lagsagna. You can use a 9 x 13 pan but all of it won't fit in there! This freezes very well and the teenager's love it!

In a large mixing bowl cream sour cream and cream cheese together. Add ricotta cheese and mix until smooth. Then, add flour and sugar, and mix until well blended. Add the eggs 2 at a time until well blended. Please make sure to scrape the sides of the bowl. Add the vanilla extract and fresh lemon juice. Stir until well mixed. Pour cheesecake mixture into prepared pan, and sprinkle cinnamon on top. Bake in a preheated oven for one hour. After one hour, turn heat off and let the cheesecake stay in the oven for one more hour. Afterwards, take it out and let it cool for about 2 or 3 hours. Then, refrigerate covering with plastic wrap. Cake will rise high in the oven and then fall. It frequently cracks and it may be made several days in advance. The cheesecake gets creamier upon sitting.
