Use to thicken, so the amount varies considerably on how you like it) 4 medium/large leaves of kale Instructions: ------------- Add everything except the kale and flour to a saucepan and stir. Steam kale (or if you're making pasta, cook it in the boiling water before you add the pasta) for about 1-3 minutes, depending on how crunchy you like it. Remove and cut up in small pieces. Add to the sauce. Heat the sauce, and when it is fairly warm, start adding flour slowly, so that it doesn't clump. Whisk or stir constantly! When you have enough flour added, remove from heat, or serve immediately. I've found that this tends to burn quickly if left on a warm burner. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% From: jberetta@lib.uwo.ca (Janet Beretta) BECHAMEL SAUCE ============== Ingredients: ------------ 2 tblsp of butter 1-3 tblsp of flour 1/2-3/4 cup of chicken broth ( I use this for less calories than cream; ya right; like it matters for this recipe!) Instructions: ------------- Melt butter in a small sauce pan. Stir in enough flour that the mixture starts to form a ball. Gradually stir in broth until you get a sauce that is thickened but pourable. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% From: arielle@taronga.com (Stephanie da Silva) BECHAMEL SAUCE ============== (makes one cup) Ingredients: ------------ 2 tblsp butter 1/8 tsp pepper 3 tblsp flour dash of nutmeg 1/2 tsp salt 1 cup milk Instructions: ------------- Prepare bechamel sauce. Melt buter over low heat; add flour, salt, pepper and nutmeg; stir until well blended. Remove from heat. Gradually stir in milk and return to heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until thick and smooth. Add the egg and remaining cheese to the sauce. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% From: arielle@taronga.com (Stephanie da Silva) BERNAISE SAUCE ============== Ingredients: ------------ 1/4 cup dry white wine 1/4 cup wine vinegar 1 tblsp minced shallots or onions 1 tsp tarragon 1 tsp chervil freshly ground black pepper 3 egg yolks 1 cup butter melted 1 tblsp fresh minced tarragon or parsley Instructions: ------------- Combine wine, vinegar, shallots, dried herbs and pepper in a small saucepan. Cook over low heat until the liquid has reduced to about half. Strain and cool. Put the egg yolks into the double boiler. Beat until frothy. Beat in vinegar mixture. Place pan over hot but not boiling water and do not let the water touch top pan. Add the butter slowly, about a teaspoonful at a time, beating contantly. Add additional pepper and a pinch of salt if desired. Stir in the fresh tarragon or parsley before serving. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% From: arielle@taronga.com (Stephanie da Silva) BOMBAY SAUCE ============ Ingredients: ------------ 2 tblsp butter 2 tblsp flour 1/2 tsp each pepper and paprika 1/4 tsp salt 3/4 cup milk 1 cup shredded mild Cheddar cheese Instructions: ------------- Melt butter in saucepan; add flour, pepper, paprika and salt and mix well. Whisk in milk until smooth and cook over low heat until thick and bubbly. Stir in cheese. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% From: sk10003@cus.cam.ac.uk (Scott Kleinman) BREAD SAUCE =========== Ingredients: ------------ 3 3/4 cups of milk 1/2 loaf of day old white bread 2 onions 12 cloves 2 ounces of butter Salt and Pepper Instructions: ------------- Cut the crusts off the bread and reduce to crumbs in a food processor. Try to use fresh baked bread, since, in my experience, American store-bought white bread is pretty nasty. Peel the onions and stick 6 cloves in each. Put them in a saucepan with the milk and heat gently until a skin forms on the milk. Take the milk and onions off the heat and let them sit for 1-2 hours to let the flavours of the onion and cloves infuse. Then add the crumbs and heat gently for about 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Then stir in the butter. The sauce should not be too stiff; if it is, add more milk. Remove the onions and cloves and serve the sauce as an accompaniment to chicken, turkey, pheasant, &c. Just a dab on each bite compliments the flavour of the roast wonderfully. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% From: ber@otter.hpl.hp.com (Brenda Romans) CHEESE SAUCE ============ Ingredients: ------------ 1/2 pt soya milk, 2 level tblsp cornflour 3 oz strongly flavoured cheese OR cream cheese, this gives a very interesting flavour lots of grated nutmeg %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% From: as000060@orion.yorku.ca (Laura Smith) Source: Jeff Smith's "The Frugal Gourmet Cooks American" CHOCOLATE POULTRY SAUCE ======================= (Makes 3 1/2 cups) Ingredients: ------------ 2 tblsp peanut oil 1/2 tsp ground cloves 1/4 tsp ground cumin 1 medium yellow onion, peeled & chopped 1/4 cup sesame seeds 1/2 cup cocktail sauce 2 cloves garlic, peeled & minced 1/2 tsp Tabasco or more to taste 1 green sweet bell pepper cored & chopped 2 cups chicken stock or broth (canned or fresh) 1/4 cup raisins 1/2 cup whole canned tomatoes 2 squares semisweet baking chocolate (1 oz.) 3/4 tsp ground cinnamon Instructions: ------------- Heat a large saucepan and add the oil. Saute the onions and garlic until clear. Add the peper, raisins, and tomatoes and cook for 10 minutes. Remove from the stove and puree in your food processor or blender. Return to the pan and add remaining ingredients, except the chocolate. Simmer for 10 minutes and then add the chocolate, stirring until it melts. This is to be used over any kind of cooked poultry. For instance, left over fried chicken takes on a new life when you simmer the chicken for a few minutes in this sauce. Or turkey meat, cooked, has an entirely different flavour when you warm it with this sauce. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% From: mje@pookie.pass.wayne.edu (Michael J. Edelman) CLASSIC VIETNAMESE DIPPING SAUCE ================================ Ingredients: ------------ Fish Sauce Lime Juice (you can buy bottled fish/lime sauce from the Phillipines) Hot chili peppers Garlic (again, look for Hot peppers with garlic. Comes in jars) Shredded carrots. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% From: arielle@taronga.com (Stephanie da Silva) CRANBERRY RADISH SAUCE ====================== Ingredients: ------------ 2 cups of raw cranberries 1 small onion 1/2 cup of sugar 3/4 cup of sour cream 2 tblsp of horseradish Instructions: ------------- Grind the cranberries and the onions together, and then add everything else. Mix it up and freeze it. Thanksgiving morning, move it from the freezer to the refrigerator so that it can thaw out a little bit. It will be thick, creamy, chunky and shocking pink. This recipe makes about one and a half pints. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% From: ynnuf@yetti.amigans.gen.nz (Doreen Randal) CREAM SAUCE =========== Ingredients: ------------ 4 tblsp butter 1/2 cup flour 1 cup chicken stock 1/2 tsp salt 1/8 tsp pepper 1/4 cup chopped parsley 1/2 cup cream Instructions: ------------- Melt 4 Tbs butter in a medium saucepan. Stir in flour and cook over low heat for several mins. Gradually stir in stock. Simmer until smooth. Add salt, pepper, parsley and cream. Remove chicken from pot, slice and serve with the creamy sauce. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% From: tara@starburst.umd.edu (Tara McDermott) CREAMY GARLIC SAUCE =================== (Makes 3 cups) Ingredients: ------------ 2 tblsp tahini 1 1/2 cups water 1/3 cup nutritional yeast 2 tblsp arrowroot powder 3 cloves garlic, diced 3 scallions, diced 1/2 tsp garlic powder 1/2 tsp celery salt Instructions: ------------- Combine the tahini and water in a medium sized saucepan; add the nutritional yeast. Sift the arrowroot powder (sift through a strainer), and add to the mixture; add the remaining ingredients, mixing well after each addition. Place pan over low heat and cook for approximately 5 minutes, stirring often, until sauce is thick. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% From: arielle@taronga.com (Stephanie da Silva) CURRIED YOGURT SAUCE ==================== Ingredients: ------------ 1 cup plain low-fat yogurt 1/2 to 1 tsp curry powder 1/4 tsp mace Instructions: ------------- Stir ingredients together. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% From: tara@starburst.umd.edu (Tara McDermott) EASY MUSHROOM GRAVY =================== Ingredients: ------------ About 1 pound of mushrooms (white and shitake) Several cups of water, or as needed Whole wheat flour to thicken Soy sauce to taste 1/2 - 1 tsp salt Herbs of your choice (I usually use basil, marjoram, thyme) Instructions: ------------- Chop mushrooms small or large, depending on your taste. Shitake mushrooms give this a really meaty quality, so if possible use as many as possible (about half and half). In a large pan add a couple tablespoons of water and the mushrooms, and heat on medium. Let the mushrooms cook for about 8 or so minutes until most of the water has cooked out. Add herbs. Slowly add flour and water, stirring constantly as to avoid lumps. When it has become the consistency you like, add salt and soy sauce. Pepper is optional. This tastes great over plain brown rice. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% From: lzsndt@ritvax.isc.rit.edu (Lynn Z. Schaeffer) FAST SPICY PEANUT SAUCE ======================= Ingredients: ------------ 1/2 cup hoisin sauce 1 Tbsp. Asian chili sauce (adjust to taste) 1/4 cup unsalted peanuts, chopped Instructions: ------------- Place the hoisin sauce (purchased from the Asian section of your favrite grocery-- it is dark red, thick, with a molasses-like taste) in a small shallow bowl. Spoon the chili sauce into the hoisin sauce (make circles or teardrops or other shapes if you're feeling arty) Sprinkle the chopped peanutes on top. Dip and enjoy!! --Lynn Schaeffer %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% From: ellen.brox@itek.norut.no (Ellen Brox) GRAVLAKS-SAUS (1) ================= Ingredients: ------------ 2 tsp mustard 2 tsp sugar 4 tsp vinegar (5%) 2 decilitre soya oil 1 decilitre dill 1 egg yolk Instructions: ------------- Mix mustard, sugar and vinegar. Add oil carefully using a mixer/food processor. Mix in yolk. Add the dill. Personally I find this sauce both too mild and too creamy. Note: ----- The mustard in a *real* gravlakssaus should of course be Swedish or Norwegian! %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% From: ellen.brox@itek.norut.no (Ellen Brox) GRAVLAKS-SAUS (2) ================= Ingredients: ------------ 3 tsp wine vinegar 2-3 tsp sugar 4 tsp mustard 1,5-2 decilitre oil (not olive) 1 decilitre dill, finely chopped Instructions: ------------- Mix vinegar, sugar, mustard.

Add broth and sherry, increase heat to high and cook unti reduced to about 1/2 cup. Add remaining ingredients, mashing some of the peppercorns to emit flavor, and server over desired meat. Again, this is a really rough recollection...I haven't made this in a long time, so I'm not too sure that I have all the ingredients. You could play with it and add things to your own liking. This sauce is wonderful with pork tenderloin slices, and would be good with prime rib as well. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% From: lmmst24+@pitt.edu (Lisa M Maslak) HEALTHY MARINARA SAUCE ====================== (makes 13 servings `a 1/4 cup ) Ingredients: ------------ 1 28oz. can peeled Italian plum tomatoes 2 tsp extra virgin olive oil 4 medium garlic cloves, minced 1 6oz can tomato paste 1.25 tsp oregano (or more, to taste) 0.25 tsp salt 0.25 tsp pepper 1/3 cup fresh parsley, chopped 1 tsp cooking wine Instructions: ------------- Puree tomatoes and tomatoe paste in a blender or food processor.

Add the everything else and stir it up. Simmer for about five minutes until everything is blended and the sauce thick. You might need to add more water to thin it down. If it's too thin add more ketchup. Note: ----- This sauce tastes wonderful with Quorn (mycoprotein). Don't be put off the ketchup, nobody would guess you used it to make the sauce. This is one of the recipes I use for entertaining and is very popular. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% From: squint@viking.den.mmc.com (Kirk Blackburn) MALAI SAUCE =========== Ingredients + Instructions: --------------------------- 4 large tomatoes 1 hot chili (serrano or Jap).

DeWeerd) Source: Wisconsin State Journal PEANUT SAUCE ============ Ingredients: ------------ 1/2" piece fresh ginger root, peeled and minced 1 to 2 serrano or other hot chiles, seeded and minced 1 clove garlic, minced 2 green onions, minced 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter 1/3 cup fresh or canned unsweetened coconut milk 2-3 tblsp fresh lime or lemon juice 2 tblsp fish sauce or soy sauce 1 tsp sugar 1/4 cup fresh cilanto Instructions: ------------- Combine ginger root, chiles, garlic, and green onions in a mixing bowl. Whisk in peanut butter, coconut milk, lime juice, fish sauce, and sugar. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Sprinkle with cilantro. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% From: twain@carson.u.washington.edu (Barbara Hlavin) PEANUT SAUCE ============ Ingredients: ------------ vegetable oil for deep-frying 100 g (4 oz) whole shelled peanuts 1 slice terasi 2 shallots, peeled and chopped 1 garlic clove, peeled and chopped 1/2 tsp chilli powder or sambal ulek 1/2 tsp brown sugar 400 ml (14 fl oz) water 25 g (1 oz) creamed coconut (optional) 1 tblsp lemon juice salt Instructions: ------------- Heat the oil in a wok or deep frying pan (deep-fat fryer) and fry the peanuts for 5 to 6 minutes. Drain thoroughly on kitchen paper towels. Allow to cool, then work to a fine powder in an electric grinder, or with a pestle and mortar. Put the terasi, shallots and garlic, if using, in a cobek or mortar. Pound to a very smooth paste, then add a little salt. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a pan, add the paste and fry for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add the chili powder or sambal ulek, sugar and water, bring to the boil, then add the ground peanuts. Stir well, then simmer until thick, stirring occasionally. Add the creamed coconut (santen) if using, and stir until dissolved. Keep hot. This really isn't as time-consuming as it sounds, providing you use roasted peanuts (avoiding the deep-frying step), and get your terasi, sambal ulek and coconut milk from the nearest Asian market. I must have had a lot of time on my hands the first time I made this, as I decided to eschew the grinder and use a mortar and pestle. Notes: ------ This is from _The Encyclopedia of Asian Cooking_, general ed. Jeni Wright, published in the USA 1984 by Exeter Books. SAMBAL ULEK [Indonesia] Used as an accompaniment and in cooking. Made by crushing fresh red chillis with a little salt: Remove the seeds from the chillis, chop finely, then crush with salt using a pestle and mortar. Three chillis will make about 1 tablespoon sambal ulek. also available redy-prepared in small jars from Oriental stores and some delicatessens. TERASI [Malaysia] Also known as balachan/blacan (Malaysia), kapi (Thailand) and ngapi (Burma). A kind of pungent shrimp paste, used in very small quantities. Depending on the recipe in which it is used, it can be crushed with spices to make a paste which is then sauteed in oil. Alternatively, it may be grilled (broiled) or fried first, then added to other ingredients. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% From: tak@tazboy.Jpl.Nasa.Gov (Tom Kreitzberg) PERIPERI (Portuguese Hot Sauce) ======== Ingredients: ------------ 1 cup olive oil 1 cup whiskey 1 handful of very hot, dried peppers Instructions: ------------- Combine the ingredients, let stand for a month or two.

Cook slowly, sitrring frequently, until well blended. Serve warm with Chicken Nuggets. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% From: u58100@uicvm.uic.edu (Laura Bootsy Boutwell) Source: My own adaptation of a recipe from _Cucina Fresca_ ROASTED RED PEPPER SAUCE ======================== Ingredients: ------------ 6-8 large red bell peppers 3 heads (around 30 cloves) of garlic 8 oz. of canned crushed tomatoes or 2 roasted tomatoes red wine or basalmic vinegar salt, pepper and cayenne Instructions: ------------- Roast 6-8 large red bell peppers by placing them under your broiler until completely black and charred. Place them in a brown paper bag for a couple of minutes, then remove them one by one, rub off the black charred skin. Seed and tear into a few pieces. If possible, save the juices that come out of the peppers. Bake 3 HEADS - around 30 CLOVES - of garlic at 350 degrees F for almost an hour, until the cloves are soft and mushy, and the skins peel off really easily. The garlic gets really mellow when you bake it this long. It's better to overbake it, though. These two steps can be done in advance; keep the peppers and garlic in containers in the fridge for a few days. Put half the peppers and all the garlic in the blender with a 8 oz. of canned crushed tomatoes or 2 roasted tomatoes. Liquefy. Add the remaining peppers. Season with red wine or basalmic vinegar, salt, pepper and cayenne. Whir for a few seconds more, and make sure the garlic is evenly distributed throughout your sauce. This can be frozen easily. It's absolutely ambrosial on pasta, especially since tomatoes are so utterly pathetic this time of year.
