Karen Mintzias
1 kg Quinces
4 c Water
Granulated sugar
2 ts Lemon juice
2 Rose geranium leaves
Cooking time: 2 hours
Wash quinces well to remove the fuzz. Peel and core. Slice quinces into
preserving pan and add 2 cups water. Leave aside and do not be concerned
if quince discolours.
Place peels and cores into a pan with remaining water and boil for 30
minutes. Strain and make liquid up to 2 cups with water. Add liquid from
peels to sliced quinces in pan. Bring to the boil and simmer gently for 1
hour until quince flesh is very tender.
Scald a large piece of cheese cloth or doubled butter muslin, wring out and
drape over a deep bowl. Pour quince and liquid into clean cloth and gather
up ends. Tie with string and suspend over bowl. Secure to a fixed object
so that juice can drip slowly into bowl. Leave for 24 hours. Do not
squeeze bag to hasten dripping as this will make jelly cloudy. Measure
juice into clean preserving pan. For each cup of juice add 1 cup sugar.
Stir over heat till sugar dissolves, add lemon juice and washed geranium
leaves and bring to the boil.
Boil rapidly for 25 minutes, skimming frequently. Test a teaspoonful on a
cold saucer. Leave to cool. Run finger across jelly in saucer - setting
point is reached when surface wrinkles. It is advisable to remove pan from
heat while jelly is being tested as you would overcook the jelly. Remove
leaves and ladle hot jelly into hot sterilized jars. Seal when cold.

Title: Kythonopasto (Quince Paste)
Categories: Greek, Desserts
Servings: 1
Karen Mintzias
Pulp from Kythoni Peltes
Granulated sugar
Water
Bay leaves
Caster sugar
Cooking time: 45-50 minutes.
Puree quince pulp by pressing through a sieve or process in food processor.
Measure puree into a heavy pan. Add 1 cup sugar and 1/4 cup water to each
cup of pulp. Set over medium heat and stir occasionally until sugar is
dissolved.
Bring to the boil, then boil steadily for 40-45 minutes, stirring
occasionally so that paste cooks evenly. As paste is thick, it has a
tendency to scorch, so watch carefully.
When cooked, paste comes away from sides of pan and is dark red in colour.
Spread while hot into an oiled slab cake pan so that it is 2 cm (3/4 inch)
thick. Leave in pan at room temperature for 2-3 days, lightly covered with
muslin.
When dry and firm, cut into small diamond shapes with an oiled knife. Lift
out and place in a container with bay leaves between layers. Seal tightly.
When serving, dip tops lightly into caster sugar to give pieces a fine
coating. Kythonopasto keeps indefinitely stored at room temperature and is
traditionally served in place of a spoon sweet, accompanied with a glass of
iced water.

IN A DUTCH OVEN or 3-quart heavy pot, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over

all sides. Do not crowd the pot or the meat will steam rather than brown.
Remove and reserve as pieces become brown. Discard fat. Preheat oven to
350F. When all the meat has browned, lower heat to low, add 2 tablespoons
oil and add the celery, carrot and garlic. Cook, stirring, 1 minute. Return
the meat to the pot. Add the stock and beans. Bring to a boil, add the
marjoram or oregano, cover, and bake 1 1/2 hours, or until the lamb is
cooked and the beans are tender. Meanwhile, using a small paring knife, cut
off tip and stem of the tomatoes. Remove the seeds and core, leaving only
firm, outer pulp. Slice one side of each tomato and lay it flat on work
surface. Cut into 1/4-inch lengthwise strips, pile up strips and cut across
into 1/4-inch pieces. Reserve on a plate until needed. Add the macaroni to
the casserole, replace in oven, and cook, covered, another 20 minutes, or
until pasta is tender. Remove the fresh herb sprigs and add the tomatoes.
Transfer to a large tureen or divide among individual soup bowls. Offer
grated cheese, minced onions, ground pepper and olive oil as garnishes at

1/3 c Finely grated feta cheese
1/2 ts Grated nutmeg
2 Egg yolks
12 Phyllo sheets
MMMMM---------------------------FOR SERVING--------------------------------
Confectioners' sugar
Ground cinnamon
Warm 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of the butter in a
heavy skillet and saute the onion over low heat until soft, about 8
minutes. Raise the heat, add the meat, and saute until lightly browned,
breaking up any lumps with a wooden spoon. Add the tomatoes, honey,
cinnamon, salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of the pepper, and bring to a boil. Add
the stock, bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer 15 minutes, or
until almost all the liquid has evaporated. Add the marjoram and parsley,
and additional cinnamon, marjoram, and pepper to taste (do not add salt at
this point, as the cheese mixture is salty). Set aside, or refrigerate for
up to 24 hours.
Heat the oven to 375 F. Press the myzithra through a sieve or food mill
into a bowl. Combine with the feta, nutmeg, remaining 1/2 teaspoon pepper,
and the egg yolks, cover and set aside.
Combine the remaining 4 tablespoons butter and olive oil in a small
saucepan, and melt over very low heat. Brush a heavy baking sheet with
some of this mixture. Lay the phyllo sheets one on top of another and cut
in half crosswise to make 24 sheets. Tightly rewrap half the sheets and
refrigerate. Lay 1 of the remaining sheets on a clean work surface, with a
long end facing you, and brush lightly with the butter mixture. Lay a
second sheet on top, brush it with the mixture, and repeat with a third
sheet. Lay another sheet on top. Divide the meat mixture into 6 portions.
Place 1 portion on the bottom third of the top phyllo sheet and shape it
into a sausage about 8 inches long. Divide the cheese filling into 6
portions and spread 1 portion over the meat. Fold the bottom edges of the
phyllo layers over the filling, then fold over the 2 sides, and roll up to
make a firm neat parcel. Place on the baking sheet and repeat with the
remaining phyllo and filling.
Brush the rolls with the remaining butter mixture and bake 25 to 30
minutes, or until deep golden brown. Drain on paper towels, sprinkle
liberally with the confectioners' sugar and cinnamon, and transfer to a
warm platter.

Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 Lemons
1/4 c Butter; melted
1/4 c Olive oil

2 1/2 kg Spinach
3 c Chopped spring onions
3/4 c Olive oil
1 c Short grain rice
1 1/2 kg Feta cheese
1/4 c Chopped fresh dill
1/4 c Chopped fresh mint
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Serves: 20 Oven temperature: 180 C (350 F) Cooking time: 4-5 hours
Wipe lamb inside and out with a damp cloth. Rub cavity and outside of lamb
with lemon juice, salt and pepper. Cover and leave aside until stuffing is
prepared.
Trim roots from spinach and remove discoloured and damaged leaves. Wash
spinach in several changes of water, drain well and chop coarsely.
In a large deep pan (not aluminium) gently fry spring onions in oil until
soft, add spinach and stir over heat until it wilts. Stir in washed rice,
cover pan and cook on low heat for 10 minutes until most of liquid is
absorbed. Remove from heat and cool. Break up feta into small chunks and
add to spinach mixture with herbs. Mix well, taste, then add salt if
necessary and a generous grinding of pepper. Blend thoroughly.
Partly sew up the cavity with white string, pack stuffing in through
opening and finish sewing up the cavity. Push foreshanks back towards body
and tie in postition, passing string over back of carcase. Tie back legs,
leaving them a little apart - tying will prevent them splaying outwards.
Rub outside again with lemon juice, salt and pepper and place on a rack set
in a large catering-size baking dish.
Combine melted butter with olive oil and brush half of this over the lamb
or kid. Cover dish with large sheets of foil, sealing joins with double
folds. Press foil under edges of dish to seal completely.
Bake in a moderate oven for 4-5 hours. After 2 hours lift foil and brush
meat with butter-oil mixture. Cook for further 1 1/2 to 2 hours, remove
foil, brush again and cook uncovered for 30 minutes or until meat is cooked
through and browned. Remove from oven, cover with foil and a thick cloth
and leave to rest for 30 minutes before carving. Lift lamb or kid onto a
large wooden board, remove string and spoon stuffing onto a platter. Turn
the carcase onto its back and chop along backbone from the inside with a
cleaver. Then chop each half into chunks and pile onto platters. Meat on
legs may be carved into slices.

Title: Lavash (Armenian Cracker Bread)
Categories: Breads, Armenian
Servings: 8
1 pk Dry yeast
1 1/2 c Warm water
1 ts Salt
2 c All-purpose flour
2 c Whole wheat flour
Toasted sesame seeds
Sprinkle yeast into warm water in large bowl and stir until dissolved. Add
salt. Combine all-purpose and whole wheat flours and add enough to yeast
mixture to make stiff dough. Turn out on floured surface and knead until
smooth and elastic, 8 to 10 minutes. Shape into ball. Place in greased bowl
and turn to grease top. Cover and let rise until doubled in bulk, about 1
1/2 hours. Punch down and let rise again until doubled, about 30 minutes.
Divide dough into 8 pieces and roll each out on lightly floured surface to
very thin circle about 9 inches in diameter. Place, one at a time, on
baking sheet and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake at 400F 5 to 6 minutes,
or until bread appears dry, lightly browned and blistered. Run palest side
under hot broiler until lightly browned. Cool and store in dry place.

Title: Lavash
Categories: Breads, Turkish
Servings: 8
1 pk Yeast
2 c Warm water
2 tb Sugar
5 1/2 c All purpose flour
2 ts Salt
Lightly oil a bowl for the dough.
Mix the yeast, water and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Add the flour and
salt and mix until it forms a well-blended but somewhat soft dough. (resist
the temptation to work in any more flour than absolutely necessary.)
Knead the dough by hand or machine. If by hand, turn it out on a floured
board and work it until it is smooth and elastic, approximately 10 minutes.
If using a dough hook on an electric mixer, knead the dough at the slowest
speed for about 5 minutes.
Pat the dough into a ball and put it in the oiled bowl. Cover the dough
with a kitchen towel and set it in a warm, draft-free place to rise until
the dough has doubled in bulk, about 30 to 40 minutes. (A perfect place is
a gas oven with its slight heat given off by the pilot light; an electric
oven, turned on low for no more than 2 minutes, then turned off, works
equally well.)
When the dough has doubled, turn it out on a floured board, punch it down,
and knead it again until there is no air left in it. Divide the dough into
8 round mounds, place them on the board, cover again with a towel, and let
rise until almost doubled, about 30-minutes.
While the dough is rising, preheat the oven to 450F. Position a rack as
close as possible to the oven bottom. Flour a 12x15-in baking sheet.
When the 8 mounds of dough have risen, roll them out, one piece at a time
into rectangles about 12x15 inches (the size of a standard sheet pan) and
about as thin as for a pizza. Puncture the entire surface at 1/2-inch
intervals with the tines of a roasting fork.
Bake the breads, one at a time, for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the tops are
lightly browned. Remove each finished bread to a wire rack to cool and
continue baking the remaining breads until all 8 are finished. During the
baking, if any large bubbles start to puff up, puncture them immediately
with a fork.
_________________________________________________
The bread in the Middle East is tradionally a type of cracker bread called
lavash (lawasha in Assyrian). This flat leavened bread is available in
grocery stores and specialty markets and can be eaten as a cracker in the
dry, crisp form in which it comes. However to serve along with a meal, it
is preferable to dampen it so that it becomes more breadlike.
Moisten the lavash, one cracker at a time, under cold running water, making
sure that both sides are completely wet; place in a plastic bag for 3
hours, at the end of which time the bread will be pliable and chewy. Lavash
prepared in this fashion is also used for Aram sandwiches. In the old
country, a lavash bread would bake in a clay bottomed oven in 2 to 3
minutes. You can get much the same result baking on a ceramic baking tile
or directly on the floor of a gas oven.

Categories: Marinade, Chicken, French
Servings: 14
2 tb Strained fresh lemon juice
2 ts Chopped fresh thyme, OR 3/4
-tsp dried, crumbled
2 tb Olive oil OR vegetable oil
This is a tangy marinade, containing equal amounts of lemon juice and oil,
and is good for rich meats like chicken thighs. It can be used for chicken
breasts too, but their skin should be on for additional protection during
grilling or broiling. Thyme gives this marinade a flavor loved in France,
but you can substitute oregano for an Italian or Greek accent, or mint or
cilantro for a Lebanese touch.
Mix ingredients in a small bowl.
Makes about 1/4 cup, enough for about 1 1/2 to 2 lbs poultry.

Title: Lemon Gelato
Categories: Italian, Desserts
Servings: 1
6 md Lemons
1 1/3 c Sugar
6 Egg yolks
1 1/3 c Heavy cream
1/8 ts Salt
2 2/3 c Half-and-half
1 1/2 ts Vanilla extract
PREPARATION: Grate the zest of 6 lemons and set aside in a bowl with the
sugar. OR, use a vegetable peeler to remove 3/4 cup zest from the lemons
and process the lemon strips with the sugar in a food processor until zest
is minced, about 30 seconds. Set lemons aside.
COOKING: Whisk the egg yolks with the cream and salt in a heatproof mixing
bowl. Put the half-and-half and lemon-sugar in a medium non- aluminum
saucepan. Bring liquid to a simmer, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Remove
pan from heat. Slowly whisk the hot half-and-half into the egg yolk
mixture. Then return the partially cooked custard to the saucepan. Stir
constantly over medium-low heat until mixture begins to thicken slightly
and coats the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes (the approximate consistency
of unwhipped heavy cream). Pour hot custard into a bowl without straining.
Stir in the vanilla. Put a sheet of plastic wrap directly on the surface
of the custard to prevent skin from forming. Set custard aside at room
temperature to cool. (Can cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up
to 48 hours.)
FREEZING: Squeeze 3/4 cup juice from the lemons and stir juice into cooled
custard. Transfer the custard mixture to an ice cream maker and freeze
according to manufacrurer's instructions.
Makes about 1 1/2 quarts.

Categories: Italian, Pork, Vegetables
Servings: 10
1 lb Dry lentils
Cold water
2 lb Fresh italian sausage, sweet
Or hot
About 3 cups homemade or
Canned chicken broth
1/4 c Olive oil
1 sm Onion, finely chopped
1 Rib celery, finely chopped
1 Carrot, finely chopped
2 Cloves garlic, finely minced
8 Fresh sage leaves, chopped,
Or 1 tsp. dried, rubbed sage
Salt and pepper to taste
3 tb Tomato paste, diluted in a
Little water
Clean lentils well by soaking them briefly and changing the water at least
once. Put them in a 2-1/2-quart saucepan, add cold water to cover, and
bring to a boil. Lower heat to simmer and cook until not quite done, about
45 minutes.
Meanwhile, pierce sausages in several places, and then put them in a small
saucepan. Add enough chicken broth to cover, and place over medium heat.
Bring to a gentle boil, and simmer for about 40 minutes. From time to
time, skim off and discard foam and fat that rise to the top. When
sausages are done, remove the pot from the heat and let them sit in the
broth while you finish the lentils.
Warm the oil in a medium skillet, and saute' the onion, celery, carrot,
garlic and sage in the olive oil over medium heat until the onion is
translucent and the vegetables are done. Drain the lentils, saving their
liquid. To the lentil pot, add the vegetables, season with salt and
pepper, and add tomato paste. Mix gently using a wooden spoon. Add 3/4
cup of the broth in which you cooked the sausages. Taste and adjust the
seasoning, if needed.
To serve, slice the sausages and arrange them on a platter next to the warm
lentils.

Title: Lincolnshire Plum Bread
Categories: Breads, British
Servings: 1
1 lb Strong white bread flour
1/4 oz Easy-blend yeast
1 ts Ground cinnamon
1 ts Ground allspice
4 tb Sugar
1 pn Salt
2 Eggs; lightly beaten
1/4 lb Butter; melted
8 tb Milk; warm
1/2 lb Prunes; cut into
- sultana-size pieces
2 oz Currants
2 oz Sultanas
Using a food-mixer or processor or your hands, mix and knead all the
ingredients except the dried fruits to a smooth and elastic dough. Cover
and leave to rise until doubled in size - about 1 hour in a warm room.
Knock back the risen dough and knead again briefly, gradually working
in the dried fruits until evenly distributed. Divide the dough in two,
shape and put into two small (1 lb) greased and lined loaf tins. Cover and
leave to prove (rise) until puffy and light.
Bake on a preheated baking sheet at 375 F (190 C) gas mark 5 for 40-50
minutes. Take the loaves out of the tins and return them to the oven for a
further 10 minutes or so as necessary - the bread will sound hollow when
tapped on the base if it is properly cooked. Makes 2 small loaves.

any loose sand. Strain cooking liquid through cheesecloth or a coffee
filter. Chop clams and put them in a bowl with the strained cooking
liquid. Add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Heat the remaining 3
tablespoons of the olive oil over low heat in a small saucepan. Add the
garlic and cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the tarragon and
red-pepper flakes and cook for 2 minutes more. Add the clams and cooking
liquid, bring to a simmer, and remove saucepan from the heat. Season with
salt and pepper. NOTE: Recipe can be made to this point several hours
ahead.
COOKING AND SERVING: Cook the pasta in boiling, salted water until tender,
about 3 minutes for fresh pasta. Meanwhile, reheat the clam sauce if made
ahead. Drain the pasta and return to the pot. Toss linguine with the clam
sauce and adjust the seasoning, if desired. Serve immediately.

Title: Lobster, Normandy Style (Homard a la Normande)
Categories: Lobster, French
Servings: 4
4 Fresh lobsters, live
1/2 c Sweet butter
Salt
Freshly ground white pepper
1/2 c Finely chopped shallots or
-scallions
12 c Calvados
3 c Heavy cream
3 tb All purpose flour
1/2 Lemon, juice of
1 ds Cayenne pepper
2 tb Finely chopped fresh parsley
Servings: 4
Split the lobsters lengthwise with a big knife and break the shells off the
claws with a hammer or a cleaver. Pour the liquid and the tomalley (the
liver) into a small bowl. Discard the stomach (the small sac which is
behind the eyes).
Melt half the butter in a large, heavy saucepan. When the butter turns the
color of a hazelnut, add the lobsters and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Cook over high heat for eight to 10 minutes, turning lobsters often. They
should turn evenly red all over. Remove the lobsters from the saucepan.
Arrange in a large roasting pan and place in a preheated 250-F oven to keep
them warm and to finish cooking.
Add the shallots to the saucepan and sizzle exactly 1 minute without
burning. Add the Calvados, ignite, and when the flame dies out, add the
cream. Work together the remaining butter and the flour. When the sauce
starts boiling, add the flour mixture (beurre manie), bit by bit, whipping
vigorously into the sauce with a wire whisk until smooth. Bring slowly to a
boil. Then mix in the tomalley and lemon juice. Taste for seasoning and add
salt and cayenne pepper, if necessary. You may cook a bit longer to reduce
the sauce if you like it thicker. Stir in the parsley. Pour the sauce over
the lobsters and serve piping hot.
A rice pilaf is usually served with this dish, and we would recommend a
chilled white Traminer wine or a bottle of old cider.

Categories: Candies, Turkish
Servings: 6
2 1/2 c Water
4 c Sugar
1 c Cornstarch
3/4 c Grape juice or orange juice
1 ts Cream of tartar
Few drops red food coloring (optional) Oil Powdered sugar
Bring the water to a boil, add the sugar and stir until thoroughly
dissolved. Mix the cornstarch with the juice and cream of tartar. Gradually
pour into the boiling syrup, stirring constantly. Continue cooking for 20
min, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. Add food coloring. Oil a 7"
square cake pan with sides 1 to 1 1/2" high. Pour in the mixture and let
stand until cool and set. Cut into 1" squares. Dust with powdered sugar
and serve.
HINT** It takes a bit of trial and error to gauge when the lokum mixture
is ready. If it boils too long it will turn out hard like toffee, and if
it is too soft it will not keep its shape when cool. It should feel soft
but firm after cooling.

1 ts Juniper berries

This is an unusual potted meat prepared only in the Languedoc.
Serves 8 - 10
Time: Start at least 2 weeks ahead; 30 minutes plus 2 hours cooking,
repeated 3 times
First cooking: deep red Medoc)
Second and third cooking: the same ingredients again each time
You will need a large straight-sided earthenware pot. Scald the
earthenware pot and grease it thoroughly with a little of the lard (you can
line the bottom with a few fig or walnut leaves if you have them). Cut the
beef and pork into slices, trimming the gristle and sinews as you do so.
Put the bay leaves on the bottom of the pot. Lay in the meat slices,
zseasoning with the herbs, salt, and freshly ground pepper as you do so.
Pour in the wine - it should just cover the meat.
Simmer the pot uncovered over a very low heat or in a preheated 250 F oven,
for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, until the volume is reduced by half. Allow to cool.
Seal with a layer of lard, melted and poured over the cool meat. Cover
with wax paper tied down with string. Leave the pot on a refrigerator
shelf for a week. Then remove the lard seal and add in another 2 lbs pork
and 2 lbs beef, the whole covered with wine, seasoned and cooked as before.
Repeat the operation at the end of another week. You will now have a
delicious dark jelly- meat which you can either eat hot or cold. If you
continue to replace the volume you have removed, the pot can go on forever.

1 lb Lean pork shoulder, ground
1/2 lb Fresh pork rind

-- drained, and ground
1/2 lb Pork fatback, ground
1 ts Salt
1 Navel orange
-- grated rind only
1 ts Crushed dried marjoram
-OR- thyme
1 Bay leaf; ground in a mortar
1/3 c Dry red wine
1 ts Ground allspice or coriander
-OR- both
Freshly ground black pepper
2 Garlic cloves; crushed
Sausage casing
Grind the pork, pork rind, and fatback through the fine blade of a meat
chopper. Combine in a large bowl with all the seasonings. Knead
thoroughly. Store in the refrigerator while you prepare the casing.
Ususally salted, the casing (pork intestine) especially the interior, must
be rinsed under cold running water several times. (To avoid losing casing
down the drain while doing this, be sure the casing is inside a very large
pan!) Allow to drain on a linen towel.
Use a pastry bag to force the stuffing into the casing. Pinch at 3-1/2 to
4 inch intervals allowing space between to form the sausage links. Normally
the casing will not break, but if it does, that section must be discarded
and a knot tied in the new "end". To cook, poach in water for 1 hour, then
drain, discarding the cooking water. Fry the sausages in a frying pan over
moderate heat, or use as suggested in any recipe. Drain and serve hot.
Note: To store, freeze uncooked in meal-sized batches. The sausages should
be used within a day or two if not frozen.

hour. Add salt, pepper, sugar, and red pepper flakes; cook for another 1/2
hour, covered. In the last 20 minutes of cooking, add the red wine.
To make the bechamel sauce, bring the milk to a simmer in a small saucepan.
Melt the butter in another saucepan and gradually whisk in the flour. Cook
for about 2 minutes, but do not let the mixture turn brown. Remove the
saucepan from the heat and add the hot milk, whisking constantly. Return
the saucepan to low heat and cook, whisking constantly, for 5 to 10
minutes, or until the sauce is medium thick. Add the salt, pepper, and
nutmeg.
Cook the lasagna noodles in salted boiling water, with a few drops of olive
oil, until al dente. Drain.
In a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, spoon enough tomato sauce to just cover the
bottom of the pan. Cover with a layer of lasagna noodles, then some tomato
sauce. Spoon on a third of the ricotta cheese, then a third of the
bechamel sauce. Cover with a layer of pasta, then tomato sauce, a third of
the ricotta and a third of the bechamel. Repeat one more time. Top with a
layer of sliced mozzarella cheese. Bake in a 375-degree oven for about 30
minutes, or until piping hot. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with
optional Parmesan cheese before serving.
Makes 10 servings.

Categories: Greek, Soups
Servings: 8
Karen Mintzias
Intestines, heart, lungs,
& liver of 1 lamb.
1 lamb's feet and tripe, opt
1 Lamb's head (optional)
Salt
2 Lemons (juice only)
1 sm Bunch scallions; chopped
2/3 c Chopped fresh parsley
1/2 c Chopped fresh dill
1/4 c Chopped celery leaves
6 tb Raw long-grain white rice
1/2 ts Aniseed (optional)
Freshly ground pepper
3 Whole eggs
Note: If using the lamb's head, wash it, then soak it in cold water for 3
hours. Drain. Cut the head in half, using a sharp knife, and tie with a
clean string.
If using the lamb's feet and tripe, prepare as follows: If tripe is not
parially cooked, cut open with a sharp knife and clean the inside
thoroughly under running water. Put in a pan with cold salted water to
cover and soak for 30 minutes, then drain and wash with cold water. Cut
into small pieces and put in a large soup pot with the lamb's feet. cover
with cold water, and simmer until tender, adding salt to taste during the
last minutes of cooking. Cube the tripe, remove the meat of the feet from
the bones, and add to the mageritsa at the same time as the cut-up
intestines, adjusting the liquid by adding more water.
Clean the intestines thoroughly by turning them inside out, using a long
skewer or stick (this turning will be quicker if the intestines are first
cut into 2-foot lengths), then wash under cold running water until clean.
Rub the intestines with salt and the juice of 1/2 lemon, rinse again in
cold water and drain. Braid the intestines or tie the ends together with
clean string. Put in a large soup pot with the lamb's head, if using, and
cove with cold water. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat, skim, and
simmer for 30 minutes. Remove the intestines, drain them, and cut into 1/4
inch pieces with the scissors and set aside to add to the soup later. (Use
the remaining portion of the head for another dish.)
Bring the soup stock to a boil and add the scallions, parsley, dill, and
celery leaves. Cut the heart, lungs, and liver into small bite-sized cubes,
and add them to the soup, and simmer for 15 minutes. Add the rice, cut-up
intestines, aniseed, salt and pepper to taste and continue simmering until
the rice is tender, approximately 15 minutes, adding more water as needed
and the brains during the last few minutes of cooking.
Half an hour before serving, bring the soup to a boil, then remove from the
heat and prepare the avgolemono: Beat the eggs for 2 minutes. Continue to
beat, gradually add the remaining lemon juice. Then 1 to 2 cups of the hot
soup by droplets, beating steadily, until all has been added. Add the
avgolemono to the soup. Stir over minimum heat until thickened. Serve
warm but avoid boiling the soup after adding the avgolemono.
A richer Mageritsa can be made by sauteing the scallions in 3 tablespoons
butter or oil before adding to the soup.

One of the virtues of a marinara sauce is that it is so quick and easy to
prepare, and light. Saute' in the oil the onions, carrots, and garlic
until onions are soft. Mill in the black pepper, and add the tomatoes.
Stir the sauce well, add the salt, and cook, uncovered, for 20 minutes. Now
push the sauce through a food mill. It will emerge velvety. Melt butter in
a pan and add the strained sauce. Stirring often, cook for 15 minutes. For
extra personality, at this stage you can stir in the hot red pepper. Makes
7 cups.

Servings: 2
1 lb Almonds, shelled, blanched
1 lb Confectioners' sugar

3 Or 4 Tbsp rosewater or

Nothing expresses the German love of edible art more succintly than
marzipan candies, which are shaped into piglets, cats, poodles, flowers,
fruit and all sorts of other objects. They are delicious to eat, too.
Carefully dry the shelled almonds, then grind to a powder in an electic
blender, if you have one. Blend almonds, the sugar, the egg white and just
enough rosewater or orangewater (available from pharmacies) to make a
pliable stiff dough. Knead with fingers, then place on board dusted with

apples, peaches, strawberries or, if you have an artist's touch, little

Title: Masa Sovada (Portuguese Sweetbread)
Categories: Breads, Portuguese
Servings: 6
1/4 c Water (warm for dry;
-lukewarm for compressed)
1 c Scalded milk
1 c Sugar
2 ts Cinnamon
1/2 c Butter or margarine
1/2 ts Of salt
5 1/2 To 6 cups all-purpose flour
4 Eggs
2 packages yeast (active
-dry or compressed)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Dissolve yeast in warm water. Scald milk and add to sugar, butter and
salt; stir until butter is melted. Mix cinnamon and flour. Add 1/2 the
flour to the milk/sugar/butter/salt, and mix until smooth. Beat 3 eggs and
add them and the yeast to the mixture.
Continue to add remaining flour to make soft dough. Remove it from the
bowl and place on floured board. Knead until smooth and satiny (about 15
mins.). Shape into a ball and place in buttered bowl. Cover and let rise
until double in size (2-1/2 to 3 hours).
Punch risen dough down and divide it in half. Place in two greased pans (8
inches round). Let rise in warm place until double in size (1-1/2 to 2
hours). Brush tops of dough with remaining egg (beaten).
Bake in 350 degree oven for 20-30 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on
wire racks.
NOTES: I have found that if I initially heat up the oven and then turn it
off, I put the dough in there to rise and it rises twice as fast.
Also, I don't know if this violates any rules, but I've found that I prefer
this bread with raisins added.
Finally, as I mentioned to those who have gotten this recipe already, this
bread makes the best toast in the world! (Personal opinion, of course..)

Title: Mascarpone
Categories: Italian, Cheese
Servings: 1
1 qt Whipping cream
-(not ultra pasteurized)
1 tb White wine vinegar
-=OR=- Lemon juice
Makes About 1 Pound
CHOOSE A STAINLESS STEEL BOWL that fits inside a large saucepan without
touching the bottom of the pan. Add water to the pan and place the bowl in
the pan so that the bowl touches the surface of the water but still sits
firmly on the rim of the pan. Remove the bowl, place the pan on medium
heat, and bring the water to a boil. Place the cream in the bowl and place
over the boiling water. Adjust the heat under the pan to medium and heat
the cream, checking the temperature often with an instant-read thermometer,
to 190F; stir occasionally. Stir in the vinegar, continuing to stir gently
until the cream begins to curdle. Remove the pan from the heat, cover, and
allow the curds to firm up for 10 minutes. Line a strainer or colander with
dampened cheesecloth, napkin, or coffee filters. Set the strainer or
colander over a bowl and carefully spoon the curds into the strainer. Allow
the mascarpone to cool to room temperature, cover the strainer tightly with
plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 24 hours to allow the cheese to finish
draining and become firm. Store in the refrigerator in a tightly covered
container. Use the mascarpone within 3-or-4 days.

Title: Melomakarona * Phoenikia
Categories: Greek, Desserts
Servings: 40
Karen Mintzias
1 1/2 c Honey
1 1/2 c Granulated sugar
1 c Water
1 tb Lemon juice
1 lb Finely chopped walnuts
1 1/4 c Sweet butter; softened
4 ts Ground cinnamon (or more)
1 1/2 c Light vegetable oil
1/2 c Confectioners' sugar
2 lg Oranges
- Strained juice only
2 tb Cognac or brandy
1/4 ts Ground cloves
1/2 ts Grated nutmeg
1 ts Baking powder
1/2 ts Baking soda
6 c All-purpose flour (or more)
2 oz Finely chopped walnuts
(Author's Note): Ancient and traditional small, spicy baked syruped cakes,
these are perfect for a large buffet. The nickname asserts their
introduction into Greece by the Phoenicians, but not with these
ingredients! Within my lifetime I have seen the oil give way to butter and
semolina succumb to flour.
Combine the honey, granulated sugar, water, and lemon juice in a saucepan
and boil for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat. Combine the 1 pound finely
chopped walnuts with 1/4 cup of the softened butter, 2 teaspoons of the
cinnamon, and 5 tablespoons of the syrup. Reserve the remaining syrup and
set the filling aside while you prepare the dough.
Using an electric mixer, cream the remaining butter (1 cup) with the oil
until light and fluffy. Gradually add the confectioners' sugar, beating on
medium speed. Add the orange juice slowly to the batter, along with the
Cognac or brandy, 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon, and the other spices. In a
small bowl, sift the baking powder, soda, and 2 cups of the flour together.
Slowly add the flour mixture to the batter and beat for a few minutes.
Continuing to mix by hand, add only enough remaining flour to make a soft
dough. Knead.
Break off small pieces of the dough and shape with your fingers into
oblongs about 2-1/2-inches long and 1-inch high. Flatten between your
palms and place 1 teaspoon of the filling mixture in the center. Work the
dough around the filling to enclose it completely and press firmly to seal.
This procedure sounds difficult, but with many hands it is quite simple.
Place on a cookie sheet and continue until all the cakes are shaped. Bake
in a moderate oven (350 F) for 25 minutes, then cool on a rack. Bring the
syrup back to a boil. Dip each cake into the syrup and arrange on a
platter. Sprinkle with the remaining chopped walnuts and teaspoon
cinnamon, or more if desired. Cool before storing.
Note: You may bake and cool melomakarona, store a few days in advance and
dip in syrup as described above a day or so before serving. The flavor
improves after a few days.

3 Oranges; zested and juiced
4 ts Freshly ground cinnamon
1 1/2 ts Freshly ground clove
3/4 ts Freshly grated nutmeg

1 lb Honey; (1 lb = about 2 cups)
1 c Sugar
1 1-inch piece of cinnamon
1 Clove
1 Lemon; zested and juiced
1 c Water
MMMMM-----------------------------TOPPING----------------------------------
1/2 c Shelled almonds
1 tb Sugar
1 ts Freshly ground cinnamon
Author's note: These cakes are traditionally served at Christmas. This
recipe comes from my neighbor, Andonia. I have a distinct memory of her
beating the oil and sugar into the flour until it dissolved using her
middle finger and forefinger as a beater - though a spoon will do.
Start by making the syrup. Put the honey, sugar, cinnamon, clove, and
lemon zest in a saucepan and add the water. Bring to a boil and simmer for
5-10 minutes. Add the lemon juice, then chill.
To blanch the almonds, plunge them into boiling water for 1-2 minutes,
until you see signs of their skins loosening. Then drain and slip or pop
them from their skins onto a baking sheet. Toast them in an oven preheated
to 350 F for about 10 minutes - just until they begin to color. Cool, then
chop them very, very finely - if you do this in a food processor, make sure
that the pulses are short, or the nuts could turn oily. Mix the ground
almonds with the sugar and cinnamon and reserve.
Sift the flour, baking soda and salt together. Put the olive oil and sugar
in a large bowl and beat together - with your fingers like Andonia - or
with a wooden spoon. Beat in the Cognac, the orange zest, spices, and
juice from 2 oranges (about 1/2 cup).
Then beat in the flour, a few spoonfuls at a time, until you have a
malleable dough, adding more flour if it is too soft, and more orange juice
if it is too stiff. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for
10-15 minutes until very smooth.
Pinch off pieces of dough of about 2 tablespons and form into flattened
oval or lozenge shapes. Place them on an oiled or non-stick baking sheet.
Bake in an oven preheated to 400-425 F for about 20 minutes, until brown.
When they are cool enough to handle, dip them in the bowl of syrup for
about 1 minute. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a tray to cool.
Sprinkle with the chopped almond mixture.

1/2 c Olive oil
Gently fry spring onion in 1/4 cup olive oil for 2-3 minutes. Turn into a
bowl and add remaining stuffing ingredients, adding salt and pepper to
taste.
Remove leaves from cabbage carefully so as not to tear them, counting
larger leaves as 2. Par-boil cabbage leaves in boiling water until limp
enough to handle, cooking leaves in 2 to 3 lots. Drain in a colander.
Cut out larger part of centre rib in each leaf and cut larger leaves in
half down centre. Line base of a deep pan with ribs and any torn leaves.
Place a generous tablespoon stuffing on base of each leaf, roll up once and
tuck in sides to contain filling. Roll to end of leaf. Repeat with
remaining ingredients.
Crush garlic with salt and blend in crumbled, crushed mint and lemon juice.
Pack rolls flap side down in lined pan, sprinkling some of the garlic-lemon
mixture and olive oil between layers of rolls. Invert a plate on top of
the rolls to keep them intact during cooking. Add enough cold water to
just cover rolls and put lid on firmly.
Bring to the boil on medium heat, reduce to low and simmer gently for 45
minutes. Remove from heat and leave aside for 30 minutes. Serve lukewarm
or cold.

Title: Mjaddra (Lentils with Rice)
Categories: Vegetarian, Lebanese
Servings: 4
2 c Lentils
3/4 c Uncooked rice
2 md Onions; chopped
1/2 c Olive oil
1 tb Salt
1/4 ts Cumin
1/2 ts Allspice or bhar
Clean and wash the lentils and boil them until tender. Mash and strain
into a separate pot. Add the rice, salt, and spices, and mix well. In a
pan, saute the chopped onions in oil until golden. Add them with the
frying oil to the lentils and rice. Bring the mixture to the boil with
enough water to cover and simmer over low heat for about 10 minutes, until
the rice is cooked, stirring regularly to prevent sticking. Serve lukewarm
or cold with radishes and spring onions or a cabbage salad.
That's the recipe straight from the book. I make a couple changes: first
of all, I'm a bit liberal with the cumin and allspice - I don't use
measuring spoons, and I'm sure I get more than the 1/4 or 1/2 teaspoon.
Bhar, btw, is described by the book as "a spice blend made of cloves,
cinnamon and nutmeg. It is very similar in flavor to allspice, which may
be substituted for it." I use brown basmati rice, so I have to boil it for
more than 10 minutes; this means I have to keep adding water to it so it
doesn't dry out.
I mean to go back to the restaurant I first had this dish at and ask them
what spices they use, since theirs is both spicier and darker than mine.

Title: Morroccan Spiced Olives
Categories: Moroccan, Spicy, Appetizers
Servings: 6
1 c Olives purchased from deli
-or Middle Eastern grocery
-(green
Yield: 1 cup
Olives are often served as part of the Middle Eastern appetizer assortment
called mezze or mazza that is brought to your table with your wine, ouzo,
or arak. Anything can turn up as part of a mezze selection: octopus
dressed in olive oil and lemon, chunks of feta cheese or salami on small
pieces of bread, or a plate of creamy, tart hummus. Olives, brined,
salted, or marinated, are almost always on one of the little plates.
Middle Eastern marketplaces feature huge vats and crocks of differently
spiced olives in myriad array. Some are fleshy, some juicy, others bitter
and dense, and each is in a subtly different mainade. The marinade in this
recipe is good for almost any type of olive; it is especially delicious
with green brined olives or fleshy Greek-style ones (it even improves
California-style ripe Olives).
brine-cured, Kalamata, Greek-style, or shriveled black dry-cured) 1/4 cup
olive oil 4 cloves garlic, chopped 1 tsp fresh rosemary leaves, lightly
crushed 1 1/2 tsp Aji Harissa, Berbere, or commercial chile-garlic paste 1
tbsp wine vinegar
1. Drain olives of any brine.
2. Slowly heat olive oil over low heat. Remove from heat and add garlic,
rosemary, chile-garlic paste, and vinegar.
3. Pour marinade over olives and let stand at least 2 hours (the flavor
gets hotter the longer it stands).
ADVANCE PREPRATION: Lasts almost forever, covered and refrigerated
VARIATION: A Mediterranean-inspired hors d'oeuvre.
4 ounces Montrachet or Leazay goat cheese 1 to 2 cloves garlic, chopped 1
tsp finely chopped cilantro (optional) 1 tsp medium salsa (or to taste) 1/2
tsp thyme 1 tsp olive oil Approximately 1/2 a French baguette, cut into 1/2
to 3/4 inch slices Morroccan Spiced Olives
1. Mash goat cheese with a fork. Add garlic, cilantro, salsa, thyme, and
olive oil.
2. Spread goat cheese mixture on bread slices; top each with half a pitted
marinated olive.
RECOMMENDED WINE: Enjoy with a glass of a medium-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon
with noticeable character, one from California, Chile, or Spain.

bones from fish. Save head and bones. Place onion, carrot, celery, one
slice lemon and the peppercorns into a fish poacher. Add the fish filets,
the head and the bones. Add cold water to cover and 1/2 tsp salt. Simmer,
covered, for 10 - 20 minutes or until done. The fish is done when the eye
pops out a little and the meat flakes. Remove from heat. Carefully pick
out any pieces of meat avoiding bones and vegetables and arrange inside a
fish mold or on an oval serving plate. Lightly season with salt, white
pepper and lemon juice. Strain the broth and return to the stove. Let it
boil uncovered until the liquid is reduced to about a cup, then pour it
over the fish and refrigerate until the gelatin is firm. To serve, unmold
and cut in half lengthwise with a sharp knife. Then cut each half into four
or five pieces diagonally forming a fishbone pattern. Mask the cuts under a
swirl of mayonnaise so the effect looks like a whole fish. Cut the lemon
slices and arrange around the fish to look like fins.

1/4 ts Salt

4 Egg
Butter
MMMMM-----------------------------FILLING----------------------------------
1 lb Cottage cheese
1 Egg yolk
1 tb Sugar
1 pn Salt
Sift the flour with the salt and salt. Beat eggs well, add water. Add
flour gradually to eggs, stirring constantly, until batter is smooth and
thin. Heat a small frying pan, Teflon makes life easy, and smear with a
very thin coat of butter. When pan is hot, put in about 1/4 cup batter,
tilt pan until it covers. Cook until it begins to blister and is shiny.
Turn out on table cloth. I always use one, but I guess you can use paper
towels. Continue until all the batter is used. Should make 10 or 12
circles.
Mix the filling ingredients well. Now it's time to 'build your blintzas' as
my daughter used to say. Put some filling off center on each circle. Fold
the bottom up and the top down. Tuck in sides, or fold in, before you put
the op down. Confused? Just try it, it's easy.
At this point you can store them in the fridge, or freeze them. They
freeze well. To finish, just fry them in a small amount of butter, until
browned
Great, served with sour cream. They are a bit complicated, but not really
difficult. and they freeze so well. Use well seasoned pams, 6".

Categories: Vegetables, Italian, Vegetarian
Servings: 6
1 lg Eggplant
Oil
1/2 lb Mozzarella cheese, thinly
-sliced
2 c Italian Tomato Sauce
3/4 c Grated Parmesan cheese
Wash eggplant; do not peel. Trim ends and cut eggplant crosswise into
rounds 1/4" thick. Place on broiler pan or baking sheet, brush surface
with oil, and broil about 3" from heat 5 min, until lightly browned. Turn,
brush uncooked side with oil, and broil 3 min on other side. Place single
layer of cooked eggplant slices on bottom of 2 qt. baking dish (A deep
casserole produces a thicker, creamier, multilayered dish; a shallow
casserole gives fewer layers and a crustier top. Take your pick.) Cover
with single layer of mozzarella cheese, spoon over enough sauce to cover,
and sprinkle generously with grated Parmesan. Repeat layers until all
eggplant is used, adding the Parmesan cheese layer every other time. End
with tomato sauce and Parmesan cheese. Any extra sauce can be poured over
top layer if needed for moisture and will filter down during baking. (At
this point the casserole can be refrigerated for several hours if you like
to work ahead. Remove from refrigerator and allow to come to room

Title: Norwegian Lefser
Categories: Breads, Norwegian
Servings: 3
1 1/2 c :Boiling water
2 tb Butter
1/2 ts Salt
1 c Rye flour
1 c All-purpose flour
1 c Whole wheat flour
There are many different types of this flat bread. This version should
remain soft rather than crisp (hence the name lefser, or soft cake).
PREHEAT OVEN TO 450F. In a large bowl, combine water, butter, salt, rye
flour and all-purpose flour and beat well. Stir in whole wheat flour and
beat until you have a smooth dough that resembles dough for a baking powder
biscuit. Divide dough into 4 parts. Cut each portion into quarters. Flour a
board and roll each piece of dough to make a thin 10- to 12-inch circle. If
desired, use lefser rolling pin to make a pattern on the dough. Place 2 or
3 dough circles on ungreased baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven 3 to 5
minutes--NOT until completely browned. Cool on a rack. Wrap airtight.

1 Onion
2 Egg yolks
2 Celery tops
1 c Heavy cream
1 Leek
Salt
1 ts Thyme
White pepper
1 Bay leaf
2 tb Finely chopped parsley
4 Parsley sprigs
In a heavy casserole, blanch the veal by covering with cold water, bringing
it to a boil over high heat and boiling for one minute. Drain, and rinse
under cold water. Return the veal to the casserole (which has been wiped
clean) and add 6 cups of the chicken stock, carrots, onion, celery, leek,
herbs and salt. The meat should be covered in liquid; if not, add more
water. Bring to a boil and simmer over moderate heat partially covered
for 1-11/2 hrs until the meat is tender.
Meanwhile, combine 2/3 cups of the chicken stock, 2 TB of butter and the
white onions in a skillet. Bring to a boil and simmer 15-20 minutes.
Remove with a slotted spoon to a bowel. Stir the mushrooms and lemon juice
to the remaining liquid in skillet. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer for
5 minutes. With a slotted spoon, remove the mushrooms to the bowel with the
onions. Pour all remaining liquid into the simmering veal.
When the veal is done, remove from casserole. Strain the stock through a
fine sieve , return to casserole and boil until reduced to 1/2. In a
small saucepan, melt 3 TB of butter and stir in flour. Cook this "roux"
for 2 minutes and remove from heat. Pour the reduced stock in and blend
with a whisk. Then return it to the heat, and cook stirring constantly
until the sauce comes to a boil and thickens. Simmer for about 10
minutes. Remove from heat.
In a bowl whisk together egg yolks and cream. Whisk in the hot sauce 2 TB
at a time until 1/2 cup has been added. Then reverse the process and whisk
the egg-cream-sauce mixture into the hot sauce. (This is to prevent
curdling.) Bring to a boil in the sauce pan, season with salt and white
pepper and a few drops of lemon juice.
Place the veal and vegetables in the large casserole and pour the sauce
over. Toss and heat gently. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

Title: Onion Tart (Zwiebelkuchen)
Categories: Pastry, German
Servings: 6
2 c Flour
2/3 c Lukewarm milk
2 ts Yeast
2 1/2 tb Butter
1 Punch salt
1/2 ts Butter for springform pan
Topping:
2 tb To 3 tb butter or lard
1/2 lb Medium-lean bacon, diced (if
-available, use thickly
Sliced bacon)
2 lb OR 3 extra large onions,
-finely chopped
Salt and freshly ground
-black pepper
Large pinch of caraway seeds
2 Eggs
2 Egg yolks
1 c Sour cream
Dough:
Sift the flour into a large mixing bowl. Make a crater in the center. Pour
the milk into the crater. Sprinkle the yeast and sugar over the milk; let
sit 10 - 15 minutes, until the yeast begins to foam. Add the butter, egg,
and salt and mix into a dough. Knead the dough until smooth and elastic.
Allow the dough to rise for 1 hour. Grease a 10-inch springform pan with
1/2 tablespoon butter. Pressing it with fingertips, use the dough to cover
the bottom and sides of the pan, coming up about 1 inch from the top edge.
To make the topping, melt the butter or lard, then fry the bacon until it
turns translucent. Add the chopped onions at that point and saute,
stirring frequently, until they turn clear yellow in color. Add salt,
pepper, and caraway seeds to taste; allow to cool.
Preheat the oven to 400 degree F. Thoroughly beat the eggs and yolks into
the sour cream. Spread the onions and bacon on the dough, then pour in the
sour cream mixture, slowly enough so that it's able to penetrate past the
onions. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until golden brown. After 15 minutes
of cooking, reduce heat to 350 degrees F.
Variations:
Badische Zwiebelkuchen (Baden-style onion tarts) can be made with ordinary
bread dough, and in the old days they used to be put in last of all with
every batch of bread that went into the baker's big oven - year round, not
just during the new wine season. Nowadays, 'Zwiebelkuchen' is still
occasionally made in the old way, on large baking sheets, starting out with
just a thin layer of dough and a thin onion/sour cream topping.
In Swabia, 'Zwiwlwaehe' are baked in flat baking pans, like Sicilian-style
pizza, and finely chopped scallions are used for the topping. Shortcrust
dough (used for pies) can also be used for these Swabian-style
'Zwiebelkuchen', or frozen puff-pastry dough as well.
Makes 6 servings.

Season the veal shanks with salt and pepper and dredge in the flour,

mod-high heat. Brown the veal shanks, adding additional butter and oil if
necessary. Transfer the shanks as they are browned to a platter. Add wine
to the skillet, boil the mixture, deglazing the pan, until the liquid is
reduced to about a half cup. Reserve in a small bowl. In a flameproof
casserole just large enough to hold the veal shanks in one layer, cook the
onion, carrots, celery, and garlic in the remaining 4 Tbsp butter over
mod-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the veggies are softened. Add
the shanks and any accumulated juices to the casserole. Add the wine
mixture, and enough broth to almost cover the shanks. Spread the tomatoes
over the shanks, add the bouquet garni (6 fresh parsley sprigs, 4 fresh
thyme sprigs, 1 bay leaf) and salt and pepper to taste. Bring the liquid to
a simmer over moderately high heat. Braise the mixture, covered, in the
middle of a preheated 325°F oven for 2 hours, or until the veal is tender.
Transfer the veal to an ovenproof serving dish with a slotted spoon.
Discard the strings and keep the shanks warm. Strain pan juices into a
saucepan, pressing hard on the solids. Skim off the fat. Boil for about 15
minutes or until reduced to about 3 cups. Baste the shanks in some of the
reduced juices, and bake them, basting 3-4 more times, for 10 minutes or
until the shanks are glazed. In a bowl, stir together the parsley, zest,
and garlic. Sprinkle the shanks with the gremolata and pour some juice
around and over them. Serve the remaining juices alongside in a boat. a

Title: Osso Buco
Categories: Veal, Italian
Servings: 6
2 oz Butter
1/2 c Thinly sliced onion
2 lg Veal shanks (5 1/2-to-6 lb)
- cut in 3 pieces each
Flour for dredging
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 c White wine
1 tb Tomato paste; dissolved in
1/2 c Water
1 lg Clove garlic; minced
1 tb Minced parsley
1/2 Lemon; Grated peel only
The garlic-parsley-lemon peel finish is called "gremolata" and is classic.
The hollow bone (osso buco) of the veal shanks gives this dish its name.
MELT THE BUTTER in a large casserole. Add the sliced onion and saute over
medium heat until soft and just beginning to color (about 10 minutes). With
a slotted spoon, remove the onion to a plate and press it against the plate
to extract its juices and let them run back into the pan. Discard the
onion. Dry the veal pieces with paper towels. Flour them lightly and brown
them over medium heat in the onion-flavored butter. Salt and pepper the
pieces, raise heat to medium-high and pour on half the wine. After a
moment, turn the pieces of veal over, salt and pepper the other sides. Pour
on the rest of the wine when the first half has evaporated. When all the
wine has evaporated, arrange the veal pieces so that the wide marrow
opening is up. Add the diluted tomato paste, cover, and cook over low heat
about 1 1/2 hours, or until the veal is tender. During that time, move the
pieces around to prevent them from sticking, and baste them occasionally
with their cooking juices, using a bulb baster, but don't turn them over
lest the marrow dissolve and run out. (You can add a tablespoon or 2 of
warm water if the sauce seems to be drying out--but the veal will probably
exude plenty of its own juices after the first half hour of cooking.) While
the veal is cooking, finely chop together the garlic, parsley and lemon.
Five minutes before serving, stir it into the casserole. Classically, this
dish is served with risotto Milanese, made with saffron and Parmesan
cheese, but any simple rice or pasta preparation will do.

Combine in a cup three tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, one tablespoon
grated lemon rind, one tablespoon grated orange rind, and one teaspoon
chopped garlic. Wanda Calcagni says the tradition in her region of Emilia

Title: Pan Haggis
Categories: Pork, Lamb, Scottish
Servings: 6
1 lb Pig's or lamb's liver
3 Onions
5 oz Minced suet
1/2 Pt. water
3 oz Pinhead oatmeal
1 ts Salt
1/2 ts Pepper
Simmer liver and onions in stock for 30-40 minutes. Put oatmeal in a heavy
pan over heat or under the grill, and toast until nicely browned. When the
meat is cooked, remove from pan, keeping liquid. Mince liver and onions,
add oatmeal, suet, salt and pepper. Moisten with sufficient liquid to give
a softish consistency, put in a greased pudding basin and cover with a
double lid of foil, and steam for 3 hours.
Now, you probably don't have a pudding basin (I'm not sure what one is).
From "The Highlander's Cookbook," by Sheila MacNiven Cameron, here is an
alternate method:
Turn into a greased Pyrex bowl. Cover with two or three layers of foil.
Steam on a rack in a pan of boiling water for two hours, adding more
boiling water as it boils away.

Title: Paprika Gravy
Categories: Hungarian
Servings: 7
1 tb Lard, freshly rendered or
-oil
1 1/2 tb Hungarian paprika, or more
-to taste
1 Garlic clove, peeled,
-chopped
1 c Anaheim green peppers,
-seeded, chopped
-or:
1 c Cubanelle peppers, chopped
1 c Yellow onion, peeled,
-chopped
1/2 c Tomatoes, ripe, chopped
1 ts Chicken base, knorr prefered
- or chick bouillon
6 c Beef stock
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
1 c Sour cream
3/4 c Flour, all-purpose
Heat a 5 qt heavy stove-top casserole and add the lard and paprika.
Cook over medium heat for a moment and then add the garlic, green pepper,
onion, and tomatoes. Simmer for a few minutes until all is tender. Add the
chicken base and Beef Stock, along with the salt and pepper. Cover and
simmer for 30 minutes.
In a metal bowl, mix the sour cream and flour together. Mix it well
with a wire whip as you do not want lumps. Add a cup of the gravy from the
pot and quickly stir into the cream and flour with the whisk.
Remove the gravy from the heat and stir in the cream mixture, whipping
it well. Return to the heat and simmer, stirring often, for 15 minutes.
Strain the gravy and discard the solids ... or lumps, if you have any.
Yields: 7 cups Hint: To render lard.
Yes, I know this is heresay in our time, but if you want the real
flavor of Grandma's cooking you must render your own lard. Lard purchased
from the market is not as flavorful.
Tell your butcher you want fresh pork fatback, coarsely chopped, for
rendering. Get 2 or 3 pounds. Place in a heavy kettle and add 1 cup of
water. Set over medium heat until all is boiling and then reduce heat to
medium low. Cook until the pork fat pieces have shrunk to small toasty bits
and the fat is clear yellow, about 2 hours. Allow the fat to cool and store
it in glass jars in the refrigerator. Hint: On the use of lard.
I have very mixed feelings about fooling around with Grandma's recipes.
Where she used lard, you and I should certainly feel free to substitute
some other kind of oil... but we must admit that the final flavor will not
be the same. Perhaps we should have it just once in a while. Recipe & Hints

Servings: 4
1 lb Thick-sliced bacon, diced
2 tb Salt
1 lb Linguini
3 Eggs
1/3 c Chopped Italian parsley
Grated Parmesan cheese
Fresh ground pepper to taste
1. Saute the bacon in a small skillet until crisp. Remove with a slotted
spoon and drain well on a paper towel.
2. Boil the water and cook linguini until firm and tender.
3. Meanwhile, beat the eggs thoroughly in a large bowl suitable for
serving. Have the cooked bacon and the chopped parsley ready at hand.
4. When the pasta is done, drain it immediately in a colander, and pour
into the bowl of eggs and immediately begin tossing it. As the strands of
pasta become coated with the beaten eggs, their heat will cook the eggs.
5. Sprinkle the bacon and parsley on, and serve immediately. This is great
with lots of freshly grated Parmesan cheese and freshly ground black
pepper.

Karen Mintzias
1/2 lb Sweet butter
1/2 c Granulated sugar
2 Eggs
6 tb Cognac
2 c All-purpose flour (or more)
1/4 ts Salt
1/2 ts Baking powder
2 c Stewed apricots
4 Dried figs
1/3 c Raisins
1 Orange (grated rind only)
1 c Apricot jam
1 tb Lemon juice (optional)
2 ts Cornstarch
1/3 c Orange juice
Using an electric mixer, beat the butter until light and fluffy and
gradually add the sugar, 1 egg and an egg yolk, and 3 tablespoons of the
Cognac, beating thoroughly after each addition. Sift 2 cups of the flour
with the salt and baking powder and add slowly to the batter, while beating
on medium speed. Remove the beaters and finish by hand, adding only enough
flour to make a soft dough. Knead. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30
minutes.
Meanwhile, slice the apricots into uniform pieces and place in an enameled
pan. Soak the figs and raisins in the remaining Cognac until swollen, then
mince and add to the apricots along with the orange rind, jam, and lemon
juice and stir into the apricot mixture, then cook over medium heat until
thick, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. Cool.
Remove the dough from the refrigerator and set aside about one-third for
the latticed top. Using your fingers (the dough will be too soft to
roll), press the larger portion of dough into a buttered 9 x 12 x 2-inch
baking pan, pressing evenly about 1/4-inch up the sides. Pour the filling
into the dough-lined pan.
Divide the remaining dough into walnut-sized balls and roll each ball into
1/2-inch strips. Using the strips, make a lattice over the top of the
pastry. If using a glaze, beat the remaining egg white slightly with a
fork and brush on the dough stips. Bake in a moderate oven (350 F) for 45
minutes, or until golden in color. Remove and cool in the pan on a rack.
To serve, cut into 1-1/2-inch (or smaller) squares with a sharp knife.
Note: You may prefer to use peaches and peach jam, strawberries and
strawberry jam, and so on, instead of apricots; also diced candied peel
adds a colorful note when substituting for figs; and slivered almonds may
be added to the filling.

Title: Pastitsio
Categories: Main dish, Casseroles, Greek
Servings: 24
Karen Mintzias
1 1/2 lb Ziti thick, uncut macaroni
Salt
2 c Grated cheeses*
6 tb Melted butter
7 Eggs
6 c Saltsa Kima
6 c Medium Saltsa Aspri
1 ts Ground cinnamon
1/2 ts Grated nutmeg
1 c Bread crumbs
*Note: Grated cheeses can be any combination of mizithra, kefalotyri (hard
ricotta) or Romano cheeses. In a large pot, boil the ziti in salted water
until almost tender. Drain thoroughly. In a large bowl, combine the
macaroni, 1 1/2 cups of the grated cheeses, the butter, and 4 of the eggs,
lightly beaten.
Butter an 11" x 15" x 3" baking pan, and in it layer half the macaroni
mixture. Separate 2 of the eggs and combine the 2 egg whites plus 1 more
whole egg with the Saltsa Kima. Spread it evenly over the macaroni in the
pan and cover with the remaining macaroni. Meanwhile, combine the Saltsa
Aspri with the 2 egg yolks and the spices. Pour over the macaroni,
spreading it into the corners with a spatula. Sprinkle the top lightly
with the remaining cheese and the bread crumbs. Bake in a 350 degree for
45 minutes or until a golden crust develops and the sauce bubbles. Remove
from the oven and allow to stand for 15 minutes before cutting into
squares. Serve on a warm platter. Note: Try this once using 1 1/2 pounds
of ziti for an elegant pastitsio. A very rich recipe; you can safely reduce
the meat sauce and Saltsa Aspri by one cup, if desired. From: "The Food of
Greece" by Vilma Liacouras Chantiles.

Title: Pasulj (Serbian Bean Soup)
Categories: Soups, Beans, Serbian, Yugoslav
Servings: 5
1 lb Dried white beans (navy or
-cannellini)
2 Onions, chopped
3 Cloves garlic, minced
3 Bay leaves
2 tb Chopped parsley
2 tb Tomato paste
1 lg Carrot, scraped and sliced
5 To 6 whole peppercorns
1 lb Kielbasa, thickly sliced
1/2 tb Salt
2 tb Olive oil
1 ts Paprika
2 tb Flour
You will need a large saucepan. Pick over the beans for bits of grit and
chaff, and rinse them twice in cold water. Put the beans in a large
saucepan and cover them with water to a depth of 1 to 2 inches. Bring the
water to a boil and then turn down the heat. Leave to simmer gently for
half an hour.
Remove the pan from the heat and pour in enough cold water to cover the
beans to a depth of 3 inches. The beans will settle on the bottom. Leave
them for a minute or two; then pour off the water and replace with fresh
water. Bring the water to a boil and then turn down the heat to simmer.
Add the onions, garlic, bay leaves, parsley, tomato paste, carrot, and
peppercorns to the beans. Cook gently over very low heat for 1 1/2 to 2
hours, until the beans are soft. After 45 minutes of the cooking, add the
kielbasa.
Fifteen minutes before you are ready to serve, add the salt and prepare a
liaison for the soup. Heat the oil until it is smoking lightly; then
quickly stir in the paprika, followed by the flour. Mix to a thin paste.
Add this to the soup, stirring well. Simmer for 5 minutes, until the soup
is thick and rich.
Serve with plenty of bread and good red wine.
Serves 5 to 6. Time: 2 to 2 1/2 hours

Title: Pepperoni Sticks - Italian Style
Categories: Beef, Pork, Italian
Servings: 6
3 1/2 lb Salt
5 oz Sugar
4 oz Cure
2 oz Ground hot red pepper
2 oz Allspice
5 oz Ground anise seed
10 lb Ice water
Ingredients for 100 lbs.
Meat in Pounds Boneless cowmeat 50 pounds, Beef cheeks 20 pounds, Beef
flanks or plates 30 pounds.
Grinding and Mixing: Grind all the meats thru a 3/16" grinder plate. Remove
to mixer and add all the ingredients mixing evenly, regrind thru 1/8"
grinder plate. The meat is now ready for stuffing. Stuffing:
It is essential that the meat is well chilled to avoid smearing the meat.
The meat should be stuffed into 24 to 26 mm lamb casings. Smoking:
Preheat smokehouse to 125 degrees F and place pepperoni in smoker. Have
dampers wide open without smoke until the casings are dry. Close the
dampers 1/4 open and apply a heavy smoke raising the temperature to 140
degrees. Hold this temperature until the internal temperature of the
product reaches 130 degrees. When using PORK, raise the temperature to 150
degrees and hold until the internal temperatue reaches 138 degrees. Remove
from the smokehouse and chill with cold tap water until the internal
temperature is reduced 105 degrees to 110 degrees. Return to the cold
smokehouse at 110 degrees and apply a heavy smoke for at least 12 hours or
overnight. Leave dampers 1/4 open.
Drying: The drying room should be kept at 60 degrees to 65 degrees and a
relative humidity of 70%. The drying time will vary because of the amount
of moisture that has been removed from the sausage during smoking. It
usually takes 3 to 4 days to make a satisfactory pepperoni. When fully
dry, the pepperoni will yield from 50 to 55% of the original product.
Alternate Drying Method without smoking: Hold pepperoni at 70 degrees for
about 2 days maintaining a relative humidity of about 75%. The product
should be kept in a cooler for at least 20 days from the time the cure had
been added to the pepperoni. Be sure that casins used are not over 1-3/8"
in diameter as this formula applies only to casings below this range.

1 tb Butter
1/3 c Onion; finely chopped
1 c Potatoes; cold mashed
3/4 c Cheddar cheese; shredded
1/2 ts -salt
1/4 ts -pepper
DOUGH: In bowl, combine flour with salt. Beat together egg, water and oil;
stir into flour mixture to make soft but not sticky dough that holds
together in a ball. If necessary, add 1 Tbsp more water at a time, being
careful not to make dough sticky. Turn out dough onto lightly floured
surface; knead about 10 times or till smooth. Halve dough, cover with
plastic wrap or damp cloth. Let rest for 20 minutes. FILLING: Meanwhile in
skillet, heat butter over medium heat, cook onion for 3 to 5 minutes or
till tender. Transfer to a bowl, add mix in potatoes, cheese, salt and
pepper. Working with one portion of the dough at a time, and keeping the
remaining dough covered, roll out on a lightly floured surface to 1/16"
thickness. Using 3 inch round cutter, cut dough into rounds. Place 1 tsp
filling on each round. Lightly moisten edge of one half of dough with
water, pinch edges together to seal and crimp attractively. Place on cloth;
cover with damp cloth to prevent drying out. Repeat with remaining portion
of dough. In large pot of boiling salted water, cook perogies in batches,
for 1 1/2 hr to 2 minutes or till they float to top, stirring gently to
prevent perogies from sticking together or to bottom of pan. With slotted
spoon remove to colander to drain. In large heavy skillet, melt butter over
medium heat, cook onion for about 5 minutes till golden. Add perogies and
toss to coat and warm through. Serve with sour cream. MAKES ABOUT 30
PEROGIES.
Variations: Cottage Cheese: Combine 1 cup press cottage cheese, 1 beaten
egg, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper and 1 Tbsp chopped green onion. Mushroom:
In skillet, melt 2 Tbsp butter over medium heat, cook 3 cups chopped
mushrooms and 1/3 cup finely chopped onion for 7 to 9 minutes or until
moisture has evaporated. Remove from heat; stir in 1 egg yolk and 1 Tbsp
chopped fresh dill. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Title: Pierogi
Categories: Polish, Pasta
Servings: 6
2 Eggs
1/2 c Water
2 c Flour
1/2 ts Salt
Mound flour on kneading board and make hole in center. Drop eggs into hole
and cut into flour with a knife. Add salt and water and knead until firm.
Let rest for 10 minutes covered with a warm bowl. Divide dough in halves
and roll thin. Cut circles with a large biscuit cutter. Place a small mound
of filling a little to one side on each round of dough. Moisten edge with a
little water, fold over and press edges firmly together. Be sure they are
well sealed to prevent the filling from running out. Drop the pierogi into
salted boiling water. Cook gently for for 3 to 5 minutes. Lift out of water
carefully with a perforated spoon.
The dough has a tendency to dry while you are working. A dry dough will not
seal completely. We suggest rolling out a large circle of dough, placing
small mounds of filling far enough apart to allow for cutting, and folding
the dough over the mounds of filling. Then cut with a small biscuit cutter
and seal firmly.
Never crowd or pile pierogi. The uncooked will stick and the cooked will
lose shape and lightness.
Note: Pierogi can be frozen after boiling and they keep well. I perfer all
my pierogi fried in butter and onions and seasoned with salt and pepper.
They should be fried on a medium low heat till golden brown.
VARIETIES OF FILLING
Cheese
1 cup cottage cheese 1 tsp. melted butter 1 egg beaten 3 tbsp sugar 3 tbsp

egg yolk
Mix ingredients thoroughly. Fill pierogi.
Cabbage and Mushrooms
1 small head cabbage 2 cups mushrooms 2 tbsp sour cream 1 small onion,
chopped fine butter salt and pepper
Quarter cabbage and cook in salted water for 15 minutes. Drain, cool and
chop fine. Saute onion in butter, add chopped mushrooms and fry 5 minutes.
Add chopped cabbage and continue to fry until flavors blend. Add sour cream
and cool. Fill pierogi.
Sauerkraut
Two cups sauerkraut may be substituted for the cabbage. Rinse and chop
sauerkraut. Proceed as above.
Mushrooms
1 cup chopped mushrooms 1 onion chopped fine salt and pepper 2 egg yolks

1 1/2 kg Fresh mussels
Water
Salt
1/4 c Olive oil
1/4 c Butter
1 lg Onion; finely choppped
1/2 c Dry white wine
Freshly ground black pepper
2 c Short grain rice
1/4 c Chopped parsley
Parsley sprigs, lemon wedges
Serves: 6 Cooking time: 45 minutes
Scrub mussels with a stiff brush, scraping shells with a knife blade to
clean them thoroughly. Tug beard towards pointed end to remove. Place in
a bowl of lukewarm salted water until mussels open. If any are open to
begin with, tap shell - if mussel does not close, then discard it. While
mussels are open, run lukewarm water into the bowl so that any sand can be
expelled from the mussels. Drain.
Heat oil and butter in a deep pan and add onion. Fry gently until
transparent. Add mussels, cover pan and cook for 5 minutes until shells
open. If any do not open, then discard them. Add 3 cups cold water, wine,
1 1/2 teaspoons salt and pepper to taste. Cover pan and bring to a slow
simmer. Simmer gently for 10 minutes, then remove mussels with a slotted
spoon.
Wash rice until water runs clear, then add to liquid in pan with the
parsley. Bring to the boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat, cover pan
tightly and cook over low heat for 15 minutes.
While rice is cooking scoop mussels from shells and reserve. Keep 6
mussels in the shell for garnish. Put shelled mussels on top of rice.
Place two paper towels over rim of pan and fit lid on firmly. Leave on low
heat for further 5 minutes, then remove pan to side of stove and leave for
10 minutes.
Blend mussels through rice with a fork and pile pilafi in a dish. Garnish
with reserved mussels, parsley sprigs and lemon wedges.
Note: 1/2 cup tomato puree (not paste) may replace 1/2 cup water for a
different flavour.

Title: Pita Of Greens, Herbs & Eggs
Categories: Greek, Vegetarian
Servings: 12
Karen Mintzias
2 lb Fresh greens *
Salt (see note at end)
1/2 bn Fresh parsley; chopped
1/2 bn Fresh dill; chopped
1 Handful fresh chervil; chop.
1/4 c Butter or margarine
1 bn Scallions; chopped
1/2 ts Ground allspice
1/2 ts Ground cinnamon
1/2 ts Nutmeg
2 ts Granulated sugar
Salt & freshly ground pepper
5 Eggs; lightly beaten
1 c Crumbled feta cheese
1/2 c Milk, or more
1/2 c Butter (optional); melted
12 Commercial filo sheets
Traditional and individualistic. Village women learn to gather tender,
young greens from their rocky surroundings, which ironically produce the
most beautiful wild flowers and delicious greens. When greens are bought
in the markets, spinach is the most frequently substituted. Cretans
combine dandelions and spinach. This recipe is written as recipes are
spoken in Greece, in the warm first-person plural.
*Note: Suggested greens are: Spinach, dandelions, chicory, endive or any
other fresh greens.
First we wash the spinach, trim coarse ends, drain, chop, sprinkle with
salt, and squeeze until all liquid has been drained. Now we combine the
spinach in a large bowl with the parsley, dill, and chervil and mix
thoroughly. Allowing the greens to stand while heating the 1/4 cup butte
in a large frying pan, we add the scallions to the butter and saute them
until the white parts are translucent. Continuing to cook over medium
heat, we add the greens, the spices, sugar, and enough salt and pepper for
seasoning, careful to allow for additional salt in the feta, which will be
added later. We partially cover the pan and simmer for 20 minutes, or
until all the liquid has been absorbed, then we remove it from the heat and
cool the mixture in a large bowl. Now we add the eggs, feta, and enough
milk to saturate the greens, mix, and assemble the pita as follows:
Butter a 15 x 11 x 2-inch baking pan. Spread 6 filo sheets, brushing each
with melted butter. Pour in the filling, spreading evenly. Cover with the
remaining filo sheets, brushing each with butter. Flute the edges and
brush top with butter. Using a sharp knife, score the top 3 filo sheets
into square or diamond shapes. Bake for 45 minutes in a moderate oven (350
F) and allow to cool slightly before slicing and serving it warm.
Note: You may eliminate the salting of the spinach by panning it, cooking
over very low heat until the leaves wilt, and then draining it thoroughly.

1 oz Fresh yeast; -=OR=-
2 pk - Instant dry yeast granules
1/2 c Milk; at room temperature
3/4 c Warm water (125F)
1/2 ts Salt
3 c Unbleached white flour
IN A LARGE BOWL, dissolve the yeast in a mixture of the milk and water. Mix
in the flour and salt to make a soft dough. Knead 10 minutes by hand, or 4
minutes in a heavy-duty mixer with a dough hook. Oil a clean bowl and set
the dough in it, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and let rise until
doubled in bulk. (In the traditional warm place, this will take about 2
hours. However, a cooler temperature will do as long as the dough has
enough time to rise, including overnight in the refrigerator.) If the dough
is ready sooner than it is needed, punch it down and refrigerate it or let
it rise slowly again at room temperature until ready to use. When ready to
use, divide into 4 equal parts. Roll 1 into an 8-inch round. Top with
favorite toppings and bake 10 minutes in 450F oven.

3 ts Dried oregano -or- 5 fresh
-basil leaves, shredded
4 tb Freshly grated Parmesan
-cheese
Crust:
Pour the warm water into a large mixing bowl and dissolve the yeast with
a fork. Add 1 c of flour, all of the cornmeal, salt, and, and vegetable
oil. Mix well with a spoon. Continue stirring in the rest of the flour
1/2 c at a time, until the dough comes away from the sides of the bowl.
Flour your hands and the work surface and kneed the ball of dough until it
is no longer sticky.
Let the dough rise in an oiled bowl, sealed with plastic wrap, for 45 to
60 minutes in a warm place, until it is doubled in bulk. Punch it down
and kneed it briefly. Press it into an oiled 15-inch deep dish pizza
pan, until it comes 2 inches up the sides and is even on the bottom of the
pan. Let the dough rise 15-20 minutes before filling.
Preheat the oven to 500 degrees.
While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. Cook the crumbled
sausage until it is no longer pink, drain it of its excess fat. Drain and
chop the tomatoes.
When the dough has finished its second rising, lay the cheese over the
dough shell. Then distribute the sausage and garlic over the cheese. Top
with the tomatoes. Sprinkle on the seasonings and parmesan cheese.
Bake for 15 minutes at 500 degrees. Then lower the temperature to 400
degrees and bake for 25 to 35 minutes longer. Lift up a section of the
crust from time to time with a spatula to check on its color. The crust
will be golden brown when done. Serve immediately.

Title: Plainest Italian Sausage
Categories: Pork, Italian
Servings: 4
8 Foot of sausage casing,
- packed in salt
1 1/2 lb Boneless pork
1/2 lb Fresh pork fat
1 tb Salt
1/2 ts Freshly ground black pepper
2 ts Fennel seeds
- lightly crushed
2 tb Dry red wine
SCRAPE THE LOOSE SALT OFF the sausage casing and set the casing in a bowl
of cold water to soften for at least 30 minutes. (You will need only about
4 feet of casing for this amount of meat, but it's useful to have extra in
case of ruptures.) Cut the pork and fat into pieces that will go through
your meat grinder and grind them, using the coarse blade. Mix the salt,
pepper and fennel seeds thoroughly into the ground meat. (Hands are the
best implement.) Then mix in the wine. Drain the casing, open one end
gently with your fingers and run a stream of cold water into it, to flush
any remaining salt out of the interior. Thread the casing onto the stuffing
horn and fit the horn over the meat grinder. Feed the sausage meat through
the horn, supporting the emerging tube of sausage with your hands to
prevent rips. (Actually, sausage making is much more conveniently done with
two people.) When all the sausage meat is in the casing, lay the filled
tube on the work surface and pinch it at 4-inch intervals to produce
individual sausage links. At the same time, fill and firm any air pockets
in the casing. Tie off the links with kitchen string. Coil the sausages
onto a plate and set it, uncovered, in the refrigerator to season for 48
hours. Turn the sausages over once or twice during that time.

Title: Po Valley Pumpkin Pie
Categories: Italian, Desserts, Pies
Servings: 12
1 1/4 c All-purpose flour
1/4 c Sugar
1/8 ts Salt
5 tb Unsalted butter
1 lg Egg
FOR THE PUMPKIN FILLING
1 Fresh pumpkin, about 2
-pounds, OR 1 can
Solid-pack pumpkin (1 pound)
1/4 ts Salt
2/3 c Sugar
1 ts Grund cinnamom
2 lg Eggs
1 c Almonds, ground
1/2 c Yellow cornmeal
1/2 c Candied orange peel
4 tb Unsalted butter, melted
FOR THE PASTA FROLLA:
For the Pasta Frolla: Combine the dry ingredients and mix well. Rub in the
butter until it is absorbed, making sure the mixture remains cool and
powdery and does not become pastry. Beat the egg and stir in with a fork.
Continue stirring until the dough holds together, then knead it briefly,
just until smooth. Shape into a disk, wrap in plastic, and regrigerate for
at least 1 hour, or until firm.
For the Pumpkin Filling: Cut the pumpkin into 2-inch dice, scrape away the
filaments from the inside and peel off the skin. Steam the pumpkin over
simmering water for about 40 minutes, until it is tender. Puree the
pumpkin in a blender or a food processor fitted with a metal blade; cool.
If the pumpkin puree is excessively watery, cook it, stirring constantly,
over medium heat, preferably in a nonstick pan, to dry it out before
proceeding.
Measure 2 cups of the pumpkin puree (a little more or less won't matter)
into a large mixing bowl. Whisk in the salt, sugar, cinnamon, and eggs,
one at a time. Combine the ground almonds and cornmeal and stir into the
pumpkin mixture. Place the candied orange peel in a strainer, rinse under
cold, running water, and chop it finely with a sharp knife. (Oil the blade
of the knife to prevent it from sticking to the peel.) Stir the chopped
peel into the filling, then fold in the melted butter.
To Assemble the Pie: Roll the dough out on a floured surface into a large
disk, about 14 inches in diameter. Fold the disk of dough in half and fit
it into a buttered 9-by-2-inch deep layer cake pan. Press the dough against
the bottom and sides of the pan and trim the edges so they are even with
the top of the pan. Pour in the filling and spread it evenly. The filling
will be about 1/2-inch lower than the top of the pan. Fold the excess
dough at the rim inward so that it makes a border about 1/2-inch wide at
the edge.
Bake the pie in the lower third of a preheated 350 F oven for about 45
minutes, until the filling is set and the dough is a light golden color.
Cool the pie in the pan on a rack. When the pie is completely cooled,
place a flat plate or pan on top and invert. Lift off the baking pan and
replace it with a platter. Invert again and remove the top plate or pan.
Keep the pie loosely covered at room temperature before serving.
Makes 10 servings.

Title: Polish Kielbasa
Categories: Pork, Beef, Veal, Polish
Servings: 6
6 Ft 2-1/2" diameter hog
-casings
3 lb Lean pork butt, cubed
1 lb Lean beef chuck, cubed
1/2 lb Veal, cubed
1/2 lb Pork fat, cubed
2 1/2 ts Salt, or to taste
3 ts Finely ground black pepper
2 ts Ground marjoram
2 ts Ground summer savory
1/2 ts Ground allspice
3 Cloves garlic, finely minced
2 tb Sweet paprika
"Recipes for this sausage are so variable that what passes for kielbasa in
one area might be regarded as not authentic in another. The ingredients and
pronunciation of kielbasa are as variable as are the vagaries of the spring
weather, the time of year when kielbasa is traditionally made. This version
uses pork, beef, and veal and makes five lb"
1. Prepare the casings. 2. Grind the meats and fat together through the
coarse disk. 3. Mix the remaining ingredients with the meat. 4. Stuff the
casings and leave the sausage in long links. Lengths of eighteen inches to
two feet are traditional. 5. Allow the sausage to dry in a cool place for
three or four hours or refrigerate for twenty-four hours uncovered. 6. Cook
by roasting in a 425~ F. oven for forty-five minutes. These sausages are
also excellent grilled over a charcoal fire and eaten in a Kaiser roll,
lathered with a spicy brown mustard.

Title: Polish Kielbasa
Categories: Beef, Pork, Polish
Servings: 2
4 ts Coarse (kosher) salt
1 3/4 ts Ground black pepper
3 tb Sweet Hungarian paprika
1 ts Dried marjoram, crumbled
1/2 ts Dried savory, crumbled
2 ts Finely minced garlic
10 oz Trimmed beef shin
16 oz Fresh pork fat
1/3 c Ice water
1 1/4 lb Lean, trimmed pork
This sausage has many guises: smoked, raw, and precooked are the most
common forms. Well known in Central Europe and parts of the Soviet Union,
it has become associated most often with Poland (several versions hail from
that country) and is therefore referred to in market nomenclature as
"Polish sausage." The ingredients of kielbasa (as of practically all
sausages) are remarkably variable, changing from town to town and even from
house to house, but garlic does appear to be a constant. Hearty and rustic,
this hefty sausage can be used in all recipes that call for garlic sausage.
Makes about 2-3/4 lb
1. Mix together in a small bowl the salt, pepper, paprika, marjoram,
savory, and garlic.
2. In the container of a food processor combine the beef, half the pork
fat, half the ice water, and half the mixed seasonings (see step 1) and
process to a very fine grind (if you are using a meat grinder, follow the
directions on page 4). Scrape into a mixing bowl.
3. In a bowl combine the remaining seasonings, the pork, remaining pork
fat, and remaining water. Process half of the mixture at a time to a coarse
grind and add to the beef. Mix together very thoroughly, cover, and chill
for 24 hours.
4. Stuff the sausage into casings as indicated in the general
sausage-making directions on pages 4-5, tying links for 10 to 30 inches
long, depending upon your preference. Both sizes (and everything in
between) are considered traditional. Hang the sausages in a cool, airy
place for several hours at least, or until the skin is smooth, dry, and
crackly. If it's too hot or humid to hang the sausages, refrigerate them,
uncovered, for at least 12 hours. To store, refrigerate for up to 3 days,
or freeze for longer keeping.
TO COOK: Place one or more sausages in a large skillet with water to come
halfway up them. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 8 minutes, then turn
and cook for about 8 minutes on the other side. Pour off the water, prick
the sausages, and cook them over moderate heat until browned on both sides.

Categories: Chicken, Italian
Servings: 4
2 1/2 lb Chicken, halved
1/2 c Olive oil
3 Dried red chilies, stemmed
- and seeded
2 Lemons
Freshly ground pepper
Salt
On a stove burner, heat the olive oil in a small pan over medium heat.
Add the chili pods and saute them until they are a deep, dark brown. Turn
off the heat and cool the olive oil and throw away the browned chilies.
(the alternative is to add Tabasco sauce to the oil to make it hot without
cooking it) Crack the leg and wing joints of the chickens loose and spread
them out, skin side up on a board or clean counter. Pound the chickens will
with a meat mallet to flatten them out. Add the juice of 1 of the lemons to
the seasoned olive oil along with 3 or 4 twists of pepper. Put the chicken
halves in a big bowl, pour the seasoned olive oil over them and turn the
peices over and over to coat them well. Let the chicken stand for 1 - 2
hours, turning the halves from time to time. Start your charcoal grill.
When your grill is heaped high with hot coals, put the marinated chicken
halves on to cook, skin side down. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and a
little more pepper, grill thoroughly, turning and basting with the
remaining marinade. The chicken is done when it is tender and has a dark
brown crust all over (some spots may well be charred) You can use the
broiler in your oven, but an oven broiler never seems to get hot enough. If
you want to try, preheat the broiler, put the chicken as close to the flame
or coil as possible and broil it, turning it frequently and basting it
often. Serve chicken hot with lemon wedges. From Time Life - The Good Cook

Title: Pork Braised With Celery Avgolemono
Categories: Greek, Meats, Main dish
Servings: 4
Karen Mintzias
3 lb Lean shoulder or leg of pork
4 tb Butter or margarine
1 Onion; finely chopped
Salt & freshly ground pepper
3 c Hot water (approximately)
1 Bunch celery
2 tb Flour
2 Egg yolks
1 1/2 Lemons (juice only)
Parsley or celery leaves
Wipe the pork with damp paper towels, then cut into 1-1/2 inch cubes (the
fat and skin may be left on during the cooking and removed later). Melt 2
tablespoons of the butter in a heavy pan or Dutch oven. Add the onion and
cook until soft and transparent, then add the pork and cook, stirring, over
medium heat until the raw meat color disappears. Season with salt and
pepper, add hot water to cover, then cover and simmer gently (or bake in a
325 F oven) for 30 to 35 minutes, or until almost tender. (The timing is
important because the celery is to be added and cooked with the pork only
until both are tender but not overcooked.)
Meanwhile, prepare the celery. Wash the stalks and scrape the heavy ones
slightly. Cut each stalk once lengthwise (if large) and then across into
1-1/2 inch slices. (Use the leaves as well, if desired, but a few might be
saved for a garnish or an accompanying salad.) Add the celery to pork and
continue simmering 25 minutes until both are tender. Using a slotted
spoon, remove the pork and celery and place in a serving dish, first
removing and discarding the fat from the meat. Keep warm. Skim the fat
from the cooking liquid, then add water or boil down rapidly to make to
make 1-1/2 cups. Keep hot while you prepare the avgolemono.
To prepare the avgolemono, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a
pan. Stir in the flour, and after cooking over low heat for 1 minute,
gradually add 2 cups of the hot cooking liquid from the meat. Stir until
the sauce comes to a boil. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, beat the two
remaining egg yolks and add the lemon juice, droplet by droplet, beating
all the while. Beat a little of the thickened cooking liquid into the yolk
mixture, then add the yolks to the pan of hot liquid. Mix well and cook
over low heat until thickened. Pour the hot sauce over the pork and
celery, garnish with parsley or celery leaves and serve warm.
Note: Celeriac may be substituted for the celery. Use 2-1/2 pounds of
celeriac, and peel, quarter, and cut it into 1/2 inch slices before adding
it to the pork. A little scraped, diced carrot may be added with the
celery.

sides. You may have to perform this operation in batches. Remove the pieces
to a plate as they are brown. Pour off all but about 2 tablespoons fat.
Reduce heat to low and replace the pot on the stove. Add the onion and cook
5 minutes, scraping up any brown bits that cling to the pan. Add the flour
and cook another minute, stirring. Add the wine, vinegar and broth and
bring to a boil. Return the pork to the pot with any juices on the plate
and add bay leaves and thyme. Cover tightly and transfer the pot to the
oven. Cook for 1 1/4 hours, or until meat is barely tender. Remove the
casserole from the oven and, using a slotted spoon, remove the meat from
sauce and set aside. Strain the sauce through a fine sieve into a container
and discard onions and herbs. Replace the meat in the pot, add horseradish,
mustard, cream, lemon juice and parsnips. Cover and replace in oven for
20-to-30 minutes or until meat is tender and parsnips are cooked. Remove
from oven and serve with boiled potatoes or buttered noodles.

Categories: Desserts, Fruits
Servings: 6
Karen Mintzias
8 Navel oranges
1/2 c Sugar
2 c Mavrodaphne or ruby port
1 Bay leaf
1 Clove
Remove the zest of 2 of the oranges with a zester; or pare finely with a
vegetable peeler, then cut into thin julienne strips. With a very sharp
knife, cut off the skin and outside membrane of all the oranges, so you
have glistening orbs of golden pulp. Do this over a bowl to catch escaping
juice.
Choose a saucepan just large enough to hold 2 oranges at a time and put in
the escaped juice and remaining ingredients. Dissolve the sugar and simmer
for 5 minutes. Submerge 2 oranges at a time and cook just long enough to
warm them through - about 3 minutes. If they bob up, place a small
weighted saucer over them. Remove to a serving dish and continue with the
next pair until finished.
Boil to reduce the syrup by half, drizzle over the oranges, and chill.

Servings: 4
1/2 lb Fish; whatever available or

2 pn Salt
4 tb Olive oil
2 Onions; chopped
8 Tomatoes; peeled & chopped
1 Green pepper; seeded &

4 lg Cloves garlic; crushed
1 pn Nutmeg
1/2 ts Ground allspice
3 ts Piri-piri sauce
- see recipe
1 sm Glass dry white wine
1 Handful coriander leaves;
- chopped
4 Slices of bread with the
- crusts cut off
This is a real fisherman's stew, dependent on whatever the boats have
brought in. The spices and hervs give the dish its special Portuguese
identity.
Clean the fish and cut into fairly small pieces, removing as many bones as
possible. Sprinkle the salt over the fish and leave while you make the
following sauce. Heat 2-3 Tbsp of the oil in a saucepan and stir in the
onions, tomatoes and pepper. Cook gently until they start to soften, then
put in the garlic, nutmeg, allspice and piri-piri sauce. Add the wine and a
little water. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, then remove
from the heat. Lightly oil the bottom of a shallow, ovenproff dish
(preferably earthenware). Put in a layer of fish followed by a layer of
sauce and sprinkle with coriander. Continue with these layers until the
ingredients are used up. Cover the top of with the bread and sprikle well
with the remaining oil or dot with a little butter. Cook in a pre-heated
oven at 350 degrees F. for about 30 minutes or until the fish is tender.
Serve with boiled or sliced and fried potatoes, bread and a slad to make a
substantial main meal. If you cannot obtain coriander leaves, you can use
fresh parsley instead, but this will alter the flavour of the dish.

Title: Portuguese Roast Turkey
Categories: Portuguese, Poultry
Servings: 10
1 (10-lb) fresh turkey
2 lb Coarse (kosher) salt
1/4 lb Unsalted butter
3 tb Olive oil
2 lg Garlic cloves
- peeled and minced
1 lb French or Italian bread
1/2 ts Salt
1/2 ts Freshly ground black pepper
3 1/2 c Chicken stock
2 lg Egg yolks
REMOVE THE GIBLETS from the turkey for another use. Fill the neck and body
cavities of the turkey with coarse salt, then rub the skin well all over
with salt. Place the turkey and remaining coarse salt in a large deep
kettle, adding enough cold water to just cover the bird. Set in a cool spot
for 3 to 4 hours.
TO PREPARE THE STUFFING: Put the butter and olive oil in a large heavy
saute pan, or better yet, a kettle, and place it over moderate heat. When
the butter is melted, add the garlic and cook for 3-5 minutes until limp.
Meanwhile, tear the bread into small chunks. Add the bread and the fine
salt and pepper and toss well. Pour in the chicken stock and beat hard with
a wooden spoon until the mixture is pastelike. Turn the heat to its lowest
point, cover the kettle and steam 15-to-20 minutes until the bread absorbs
all the liquid. Add the egg yolks to the stuffing mixture and beat hard
until smooth. Remove from the heat and reserve. Preheat oven to 400F. Drain
the turkey and rinse several times in cool water so that all traces of salt
are gone. Place the bird on the counter with the neck cavity facing you.
With your hands, begin working the skin free from the breast. Proceed
gently, taking care not to tear the skin. It's slow going at first, but
once you begin to free the skin, the job goes quickly. Loosen it all the
way down the bird to within about 1 inch of the tail end, down both sides.
With your hands, push the stuffing bit by bit far down under the skin and
continue, packing it in lightly, until the breast is covered with about a
1-inch layer. Next fill the neck cavity, skewer the neck skin flat against
the back to enclose, and truss the bird. Place the turkey breast-side up in
a large shallow roasting pan without a rack and roast uncovered for about 2
1/2 hours. Do not baste. When the bird is richly browned and a leg moves
easily in the hip joint, remove from the oven. Let stand, uncovered, 20
minutes. Drain drippings into a sauce boat and keep warm. Remove trussing
string and skewers and serve at once on a warmed platter.

was changed to kielbasa for the masses. If you can't find smoked Linguica
or Kielbasa, Andouille would also be a good substitute. I hope to try this
when it gets cooler (like October -- grin)! Hope it appeals to you, too.

Combine all ingredients in large pot. Bring to boil, stirring

FROM: Judy Mccoy
This is the recipe for the Portuguese Soup that they serve at The Inn at
Brushy Creek in Round Rock (great place!). It's very hearty and good when
it's cold outside, but it makes about 2 gallons, so make it when you're
having friends over. I don't recommend freezing it because the potatoes
get mushy, but you can cut the recipe in half, or quarters, whatever, to
suit your needs.
Salt and pepper to taste
Pour oil into LARGE, HUMONGOUS, GIGANTIC stock or stew pot and saute onions
and garlic in it, just until soft and transparent. Add sausage chunks and
brown slightly. Add beef stock and all other ingredients. Bring to a boil,
stirring often to keep the bottom of the pan from burning.
Reduce heat, simmer for 35 to 45 minutes or longer, stirring occasionally.
Correct seasonings to taste. The recipe SAYS that it yields one gallon,
but it's really much more.
The hardest part of this recipe is the chopping. You should cut up
everything ahead of time (potatoes, sausage, cabbage, onions, garlic), so
you can just dump it all into the pot when you're ready. After that,
you're home free. This tastes great with garlic bread, homemade biscuits,
or beer bread.

3/4 c Flour (or more)
5 Egg yolks
1/8 ts Nutmeg
1 ts Salt; or as desired
White pepper; to taste
1/3 c Olive oil
USING UNCOOKED POTATOES, boil them, unpeeled, in salted water until soft.
Or cook them in a microwave according to oven directions or bake in a
conventional oven. Drain boiled potatoes. Peel potatoes when they are cool
enough to handle and puree them through a food mill or potato ricer while
still warm. Do not use a blender or food processor for this because it
excites the gluten in the potato and makes a sticky mess. If using leftover
mashed potatoes, place in a small pot and heat them until they are warm.
Transfer potatoes to a mixing bowl, add the yolks and mix. Add nutmeg,
salt, pepper and 3/4 cup of flour. Knead together and add the remainder of
the flour if necessary, bit by bit, kneading until a slightly sticky
consistency is attained. Lightly dust a work surface with flour. Form the
dough into sausage-like rolls about the thickness of your thumb. Cut into
pieces about 1-inch in length. Using a fork, flatten the pieces so that the
tines leave an imprint in the gnocchi. Keep a glass of water nearby to
clean the fork. Meanwhile, fill a 3-quart pot with salted water and bring
to a boil. Reduce heat so that the water is boiling at a gentle roll. Drop
the gnocchi into the boiling water, about 16 at a time. They will sink to
the bottom but will rise to the surface after a minute or so. Continue to
cook for another 15 seconds. Immediately remove with a slotted spoon to a
colander. Sprinkle with a little olive oil, mix gently and transfer to a
heated platter. Continue until all the gnocchi are cooked. Serve the
gnocchi ungarnished as a side accompaniment to roast meat or poultry.

This excellent soft pancake wrapper, easily made at home, is eaten in
Norway with butter and 'geitost' cheese, or used to wrap delicious little

spoonful of berry conserve.
You will need a griddle or a heavy frying pan, or best of all, a 'takke'.
Boil the potatoes in their skins. Peel them as soon as they are cool
enough to handle and immediately mash them with the salt. Speed makes
light pancakes. Mix with the flour into a dough. (Less or more flour may
be needed - potatoes are very variable. The less flour you use, the
better.) Form into a long sausage and chop of lengths. Roll these pieces
out into pancakes about 1/8 inch thick.

Butter, Melted
Chop and pound to a paste any fragments of cooked ham, tongue, poultry,
game or fish. With ham use a quarter part of fat. Remove all gristle and
skin and pound until free from any fibre and reduced to a paste. Season
highly with salt, pepper, cayenne, and made mustard, and moisten with a
little melted butter (except ham, which has fat enough). Pack closely in
small stone or earthen jars. Put jars in steamer and heat for one half
hour. Then press the meat down again and cover with hot melted butter. This
will keep some time and may be served in slices or used for sandwiches. Ham
and tongue may be mixed with veal or chicken. Beef, game and fish are
better alone. Source: Pennsylvania Dutch Cook Book - Fine Old Recipes,

the pieces of chicken, the carrots and onions, and the herbs tied together.
Season with salt and pepper, add the wine, cover and cook for 30 minutes,

carrots and onions are tender remove them with a slotted spoon, cover and
keep hot over a pan of boiling water.
Slice the mushrooms finely, add to the pan, sprinkle with salt, cover and
simmer for a further 20 minutes. Beat the egg yolks into the cream and set
aside.
Remove the chicken from the pan to a heated serving dish, place the
vegetables around it in small groups, cover with foil and keep hot.
Using the back of a fork, work the meat residue from the bottom of the pan
into the cooking juices. Bring to boiling point, remove the herbs, and draw
the pan from the heat. Add a tablespoon of pan juices to the cream, stir
well and return this mixture to the pan, stirring constantly until thick.
Pour imme- diately over the chicken and serve without delay.
The excellent sauce of this dish is best appreciated when accompanied by
plain noodles or boiled rice.

2 lb Fish
-(snapper, porgy, mullet,
-OR any favorite), cleaned
-and left whole or sliced
-into steaks
1 Lemon; juiced
Salt
1/3 c Olive oil
4 Ripe tomatoes
-(fresh or canned)
- peeled and chopped
1/4 c White wine
- (more if necessary)
4 Garlic cloves; sliced
1/2 ts Granulated sugar
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 c Chopped fresh parsley
Bread crumbs
Tomato juice, if necessary
Wash and dry the fish (if using dried cod be sure it was soaked overnight),
then sprinkle with salt and lemon juice, particulary inside the neck area
if using fish with heads on. Arrange on a baking-serving dish and set
aside while you prepare the sauce.
Heat the oil in a saucepan, add the tomatoes, wine, garlic, and sugar and
simmer for 10 to 15 minutes. (The amount of garlic may be reduced, but it
*IS* the most important ingredient.) Season with salt and pepper.
Sprinkle the fish with a light coating of bread crumbs and then with the
chopped parsley, then spoon the hot sauce over the fish. Repeat the
procedure until all the sauce has been used, ending with a topping of bread
crumbs. Bake in a moderate oven (350 F) for 30 to 40 minutes, depending on
the size of the fish, basting twice with the sauce. (A golden crust will
form on the fish, characteristic of this famous style.) During the baking
period, add some wie or tomato juice if necessary; some sauce should remain
around the fish. Serve hot.
NOTE: This makes an excellent first course with dry white Demesticha or
Samos wine.

Cook Polenta in slightly salted water. Add butter. Stir it well. When all
water disappeared, add feta cheese and sour cream but do not stir to well,
and do not cook it anymore. The cheese and the sour cream should not be
blended in the polenta, but vaguely mixed in. Before serving heat it up in
the oven, sprinkle freshly chopped dill on top. This is a delicious dish!
You can also top it with fried onions: slice large purple or white onions
in thin rings, fry them without anything in hot oil or butter until dark

1 Pumpkin (4 to 4 1/2 lbs.)
1/2 c Granulated sugar
2 tb Ground cinnamon
1 c Chopped walnuts
1 lb Commercial phyllo sheets
1/2 c Olive oil or butter; melted
Cut the pumpkin in half, remove and discard the seeds, the peel using a
sharp knife. Grate the pumpkin on the medium holes of a cheese grater
(there should be approximately 4 cups of finely grated pumpkin). Taste for
flavor, adding more sugar if desired. Start to roll the "snails". Lay the
phyllo flat and deep, covered with a damp towel except when rolling. Brush
one filo sheet lightly with the oil and fold in half lengthwise. Spread a
row of filling (about 3 to 4 tablespoons) across the length of one end of
the filo to within an inch of each edge. Roll up to seal the filling,
forming a long tube. Then, beginning at one end, curl up tightly into a
"snail-like" coil and set on a baking sheet. Continue until all the
filling has been used, keeping the rolls covered with waxed paper or
plastic to avoid drying. Brush the rolls with oil or butter and bake in a
350 degree oven for 25 minutes or until puffy and crisp. Serve warm or

egg yolk. Whip the egg white into soft peaks and fold it into the mixture.
Preheat oven to 375F. Butter a baking sheet. Roll dough into a sheet
1/8-inch thick. Spread filling over it, leaving 1 inch clear at the edges.
Roll it into a cylinder and coil it on the baking sheet like a snail shell.
Beat the remaining egg yolk in a small bowl and paint the surface of the

Title: Rafiola Kokokarion (Coconut Pastries W/ Glaceed Fruit)
Categories: Greek, Desserts
Servings: 20
Karen Mintzias
3 Potatoes
3 tb Granulated sugar
1 pn Salt
2 Egg yolks
4 c Finely shredded coconut
1 1/2 c Glaceed fruit
Confectioners' sugar
(Author's note): In a Cretan zacharoplasteion (sweet shop), we were so
intrigued by these coconut pastries (among the newer breed) that I tried
them at home. You can expect the potato pastry to be a bit difficult to
manipulate, and you can also anticipate compliments on the results.
Attractive and tasty, not excessively sweet.
Boil the potatoes in their jackets until fork tender, then drain and remove
the skins and all spots. Return the potatoes to the pan and dry over medium
heat, shaking pan constantly. Push the potatoes through a mill or ricer,
then combine in a large bowl with the sugar and salt. When somewhat cool,
add the egg yolks and coconut and knead until smooth. Refrigerate for 2
hours.
Remove the dough from the refrigerator and knead until smooth enough to
roll. If sticky, dust lightly with flour. Roll out on a floured board to
1/4-inch thickness, then, using a glass with a 3-1/2-inch diameter, cut the
pastry into rounds.
Meanwhile, mince the glaceed fruit. Place 1 tablespoon on the center of
each of the pastry rounds. Lift one side with a spatula and fold over the
other half, forming a half-circle. Press the edges together and place on a
baking sheet. Continue until all have been stuffed, then bake in a moderate
oven (350 F) for 15 minutes, or until firm; the pastries will be white.
Remove and cool for 10 minutes, then roll in confectioners' sugar and cool
completely. Store in a covered container.
Note: In Crete this pastry is cut with a serrated pastry cutter producing
an attractive edging.

Title: Ragu Alla Bolognese
Categories: Sauces, Pasta, Italian
Servings: 12
1/2 oz Dried porcini mushrooms
1/2 lb Lean veal shoulder
1/2 lb Lean beef round or shin
2 1/2 oz Pancetta or blanched bacon
4 oz Large yellow onion
1 lg Carrot
1 lg Celery stalk
5 tb Butter
3 tb Olive oil
1 tb Salt
1/4 ts Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 c Dry red wine
2 1/2 c Drained canned plum tomatoes
1/2 c Heavy cream
Freshly grated parmigiano
Freshly ground pepper
This takes a fair amount of time to make, but it freezes very well, so make
a large batch. This is enough for 2 1/2-to-3 pounds of pasta.
PUT THE PORCINI in a small bowl. Pour boiling water over them and let them
sit for 30 minutes. Drain them, rinse carefully, chop coarsely and rinse
carefully again. With a food processor or meat grinder, finely chop first
the veal and beef, then the pancetta, onion, carrot and celery. Saute the
pancetta and minced vegetables in the butter and oil in a heavy-bottomed
casserole for 2 minutes over medium heat. Turn heat to very low, cover and
continue cooking 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Uncover the pot and
raise heat to medium high. Add the beef, veal, mushrooms, salt and pepper.
Cook, stirring constantly, until the meats just begin to lose their raw red
color. Then pour on the wine and cook until it is entirely evaporated. Set
a food mill with the medium blade over the pot and mill in the tomatoes.
Stir everything together and simmer, covered for 40 minutes. If possible,
complete preparation to this point several hours in advance, or even the
night before you plan to use the sauce. Take it off the stove and let it
cool if not serving immediately. Transfer to container. Cover and
refrigerate. The sauce may also be made to this point and frozen. Shortly
before serving time, bring the sauce slowly to a simmer. Simmer 5 minutes.
Stir in the heavy cream and serve immediately over freshly cooked pasta,
passing parmigiano and a pepper mill. To serve ragu in smaller quantities,
heat about 1/2 cup of sauce per person and stir in 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons
cream per serving.

4 ts Baking powder
1/2 ts Baking soda
1 ts Salt
3 tb Granulated sugar
1 tb Caraway seeds
1 c Dark seedless raisins
2 c Buttermilk
Butter
Sugar
Preheat the oven to 350F. Grease a 9-inch black cast-iron skillet or cake
pan and dust with flour.
In a large bowl, mix 4 cups of the flour with the baking powder, baking
soda, salt, sugar, and caraway seeds. Add the raisins, mixing them in with
your fingers to make sure they are separated. Add the buttermilk to the
bowl and mix with a fork until the mixture forms a dough.
Sprinkle about 1/4 cup more of the flour on a board or counter. Turn out
the dough and knead for about 5 minutes, working in the flour from the
board and forming the dough into a smooth round loaf about 8 inches in
diameter. (If the humidity is high and the dough is very sticky, you may
need to add another 1/4 cup of flour to the board.)
Press the dough evenly into the prepared skillet or pan and cut a cross 1/2
inch deep across the top. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the
loaf sounds hollow when rapped on the bottom. Remove the loaf to a wire
rack and rub the top with butter. Sprinkle with sugar. Let the bread cool
completely before slicing.
This Irish bread tastes even better the second day and is particularly good
for breakfast.
Makes one large loaf.

Title: Raspberry-Filled Sandwich Cookies (Luxembourgli)
Categories: Cookies, Switzerland, Entertain, Desserts
Servings: 1
1 1/4 c Blanched almond slices
-(about 4 ounces)
1 c Powdered sugar
1/2 c Egg whites (4 to 5),
-completely free of yolk
1/2 c Granulated sugar
1/2 ts Cream of tartar
1/4 ts Vanilla extract
1/8 ts (scant) almond extract
FOR THE RASPBERRY
-BUTTERCREAM:
6 1/2 tb Unsalted butter, slightly
-softened
1 1/4 c Powdered sugar
1/3 c Seedless raspberry preserves
-or jam
FOR THE COOKIES:
Heat the oven to 325F. Line 2 very large baking sheets (or 3 smaller ones)
with baking parchment. Toast the almonds in the oven, stirring
occasionally, for 6 to 8 minutes, or until tinged with brown. Set aside to
cool. Reset the oven to 300F.
Grind the cooled almonds and 1/2 cup of powdered sugar in a food processor
until very fine but not oily. Thoroughly stir the remaining powdered sugar
into the almonds.
Combine the granulated sugar and 3 tablespoons of hot tap water in a small
heavy saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring just to a boil, stirring.
Cover the pan and boil for 1 1/2 minutes to allow the steam to wasu the
sugar crystals from the sides of the pan. Uncover and continue boiling,
lifting the pan and swirling the contents occasionally, but never stirring,
for about 1 minute longer until the syrup thickens, bubbles vigorously, and
reaches the firm ball stage (240 F on a candy thermometer). To test for
doneness without a thermometer, remove the pan from the heat and drop a
small amount of the syrup into a cup of ice water; let stand for 10
seconds. The syrup should form a firm ball when squeezed between the
fingers. Set the syrup aside.
Beat the egg whites with an electric mixer on medium speed until frothy.
Add the cream of tartar, raising the mixer speed to high. Continue beating
just to soft peaks; turn off mixer. Return the syrup to the burner and
reheat just to simmering. With the mixer on high speed, immediately pour a
thin, steady stream of syrup down the side of the bowl (avoid the beaters
or whip as the syrup will stick) until all of the syrup is added. Add the
vanilla and almond extracts. Continue beating until the mixture cools to
lukewarm.
Use a rubber spatula to fold the almond mixture evenly into the beaten egg
whites. Immediately drop the mixture from small spoons into 1-inch kisses
spacing about 3/4 inch apart on the parchment lined baking sheets.
(Alternately, pipe the mixture into 1-inch rounds using a pastry bag fitted
with a plain or open star 3/8-inch diameter tip.) Place the pans staggered
on racks in the center half of the oven. Bake for 19 to 22 minutes,
reversing pans from front to back and switching racks about halfway
through, until barely tinged and firm on top but still slightly soft
inside. Let the pans stand on wire racks until the meringues are
completely cooled. Peel from the paper. Store aiftight until assembled.
To prepare the buttercream: Beat togather the butter, powdered sugar, and
preserves until light and fluffy. Spread with a knife (or pipe using a
pastry bag and tibe) small amounts of the cream over the flat sides of half
the cookies. Top with the r4emaining meringues, pressing together tightly.
Store the cookies airtight and refrigerated for up to 24 hours; they will
soften too much if left longer. (For longer storage, freze, tightly
wrapped, for up to 2 weeks; thaw just before serving.) Allow the cookies to
warm up slightly before serving.
Makes about forty 1 1/4-inch sandwich cookies.

Beard recipe contests, held in 1975. The winner's name was Reino Koski.
This is a Finnish soup.
Use any cut salmon or steelhead, leaving skin on. In 1 quart water, with
salt and pepper, simmer on low heat in 5- or 6-quart pot. When skin comes
off easily, set aside on plate and remove skin and bones. Cut or break
into 1- and 2-inch pieces. In liquid stock, place bay leaves and whole
allspice. Add potatoes, cut in 1- or 1 1/2-inch pieces; carrots, cut
lengthwise and into half circles about 1/4-inch thick; and 2 onions cubed
coarsely (not chopped fine). Cook over low heat. After a short while, add
red cabbage and celery leaves. Stir. Cook until carrots are almost tender
and potatoes don't disintegrate.
While this is cooking, dice bacon and cook in fry pan over low heat. Pour
almost all fat off. Add butter (or margarine) and diced celery, remaining
onion (diced fine) and green pepper. Saute' until onions are yellow and
peppers are pale green. Now back to your pot. Add salmon pieces, (they
should be not quite cooked). From now on everything is simmered on low to
preserve body. Add clams with broth, shrimp and 1 quart water. Put in
stuff from fry pan. Add pimento, mushrooms, rosemary, cumin, thyme,
oregano and chilies. Stir in milk a cup at a time. Add butter and let
whole bit simmer for at least one hour. Serve with tossed salad and garlic
bread. Can be frozen.

Title: Revani (Semolina - Almond Syrup Cake with Syrup)
Categories: Greek, Desserts, Cakes
Servings: 20
2 1/2 c Granulated sugar
3 c Cold water
1 sm Cinnamon stick
3 Whole cloves
1 Orange (peel only)
1/2 lb Sweet butter
6 Eggs; room temperature
1 c All-purpose flour
1 c Fine semolina
3 ts Baking powder
1 c Finely chopped almonds *

speed for a few seconds. Pour immediately into a buttered 9 x 12 x 3-inch
cake pan and bake on the center rack of a moderate oven (350 F) for 30 to
35 minutes, or until the cake springs back when touched by a finger. Remove
from the oven and set the pan on a cake rack. Using a sharp knife, score
the cake into diamond shapes. Spoon the cooled syrup over the entire cake
and cool.
Note: Each piece may be attractively garnished with a candied or marachino
cherry slice in the center and almond slivers angled on each side.

1/4 c Peas
1/4 c Tomato sauce
1/4 lb Diced mozzarella
3 Eggs
1 Tomato sauce for color
3 tb Grated cheese
1 Garlic powder to taste
1 Salt, pepper, parsley
Wash and drain rice. Boil water in saucepan over high heat. Add the
drained rice and bring to a boil. Stir once, reduce heat to low, cover and
simmer until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is al dente and slightly
sticky, about 17 minutes. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
Heat oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and
saute until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the chopped meat and seasoning and
saute until the meat just loses its raw color, about 5 minutes longer. Add
the tomato sauce and peas and cook until the liquid evaporates and the peas
are just tender, about 10 minutes longer for fresh peas, or about 5 minutes
for thawed. In a mixing bowl, beat 2 of the eggs. Add the cooled rice and
the grated cheese and seasonings. Scoop about 3 Tbl of the rice mixture
into the palm of one hand (wet hands first) and press it out to form an
even round. Place about 1/2 Tbl of the meat mixture and one small chunk
mozzarella in the center of the patty, then gently close your hand to
encase the filling in the rice. Use both hands to roll the stuffed rice
into a ball. Continue making balls until all ingredients are used. Beat
the remaining 1-2 eggs in a small bowl and pour the bread crumbs into a
small bowl. Roll each rice ball in the egg to coat completely, then roll in
the bread crumbs to cover well. Set aside until all balls are coated. Pour
oil in a deep fryer or saucepan to a depth of 4 inches. Heat to 360F.
Carefully drop the rice balls, a few at a time, into oil and fry, turning
frequently, until golden brown all around, about 5 minutes. With a slotted
utensil, transfer to paper toweling to drain. If desired, place in a low
oven to keep warm until all are cooked. Serve warm.

Title: Rich Cream - Kaymaki
Categories: Greek
Servings: 1
Karen Mintzias
1 qt Heavy cream
Thick rich eastern Mediterranean "kaymaki" (literally, "frothy cream") is
unique, but two more readily available products have a similar flavor and
texture. Imported English clotted (Devon) cream and Italian mascarpone
cheese both make good substitutes, or you cna make your own. Make this
when you plan to be in the kitchen for a couple of hours - for an even
smooth texture and a thick crust you need to stir the hot cream at regular
intervals. Be sure to use meticulously clean utensils and keep the cooking
heat very low (or use a heat diffuser mat). Kaymaki should be made at
least 18 hours before you need it; it can be stored for up to a week.
Slowly bring the cream almost to a boil in a heavy saucepan, stirring
occasionally with a wooden spoon. Reduce the heat to as low as possible,
or place the saucepan on a heat diffuser mat. Lift a ladleful of cream
about 12 inches above the saucepan, and pour it back in a thin steady
stream; repeat 2 or 3 times. Repeat this procedure every 10 minutes or so
over the next 1-1/2 hours, and stir the cream occasionally to make sure it
does not stick.
Leave the cream undisturbed over the lowest heat for 30 minutes longer; it
will have reduced by at least two thirds. Remove the saucepan from the
heat and let cool.
Loosely cover with a clean kitchen towel and set aside for 2 hours.
Remove the kitchen towel, tightly cover, and refrigerate for at least 12
hours, or overnight.
Cut the crust on top of the cream into 1-inch-wide strips. Gently fold one
end of a strip over the handle of a wooden spoon and roll it up (cut in
half if the roll becomes too thick or unwieldy), and slide off onto a
plate. Repeat with the remaining strips. The remaining kaymaki will have
the texture of thick airless cream. It can be refrigerated in a tightly
covered container of up to 1 week; refrigerate the rolls for up to 3 days.
Note: Serve kaymaki rolls on their own or with desserts such as Kataifi Nut
Rolls or Almond Cake. Kaymaki cream can be added to ice cream or rice
pudding for an especially good flavor. Or whisk it together with a little
sweet wine or lemon juice for a perfect accompaniment to fresh or poached
fruit or sweet pastries.

Title: Rigani Cheese Bread
Categories: Breads, Greek
Servings: 12
Karen Mintzias
1 tb Active dry yeast
1 c Tepid (110 F) water
3 tb Olive oil
1/2 ts Fine-grain sea salt
3 c Whole wheat flour, or more
2 tb Dried rigani; crumbled
1/2 tb Dried mint; finely crumbled
3/4 lb Feta cheese; well drained,
- finely crumbled
1 Egg yolk; beaten with:
2 tb Warm water
Sprinkle the yeast over the water and set aside in a warm place until
foamy, about 10 minutes. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and the
salt.
Sift the flour into a large mixing bowl, make a well in the center, and
pour in the yeast mixture. Knead 10 minutes, adding additional flour if
necessary to make a firm elastic dough. Transfer to a lightly oiled bowl,
tightly cover with plastic wrap, and set aside for 2 hours in a warm
draft-free spot.
Knead in the rigani, mint, and feta until evenly distributed throughout the
dough. Lightly oil a heavy baking sheet and place the dough in the center.
Form into a round loaf and flatten to a thickness of 2 inches. Cover with a
clean kitchen towel and set aside for 1 hour in a warm draft-free spot. The
dough will rise only slightly.
Heat the oven to 350 F.
With a sharp thin blade, slash the top of the loaf diagonally in 2 or 3
parallel lines, brush with the remaining olive oil, and bake 25 minutes.
Brush with the beaten egg yolk and bake 15 minutes longer, or until the
bread is deep golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Categories: British, Pork
Servings: 6
1 Fresh ham or fresh pork
-shoulder, whole or half,
Bone in or boneless
2 lg Onions, chopped
2 lg Carrots, chopped
2 Stalks celery, including
-leaves, chopped
3 Cloves garlic, chopped
1 ts Brown caraway seeds
1 ts Black caraway seeds (if not
-available, use brown)
1 ts Celery seed
2 ts Ground cinnamon
1/2 ts Ground cloves, or 1 teaspoon
-whole cloves
1 tb Whole allspice, or 1
-teaspoon ground allspice
1 tb Grated orange zest
1 tb Black peppercorns
1 lg Bay leaf
Salt, to taste (optional)
1 1/2 c Red table wine
1/2 c Red wine vinegar
1/2 c Olive oil
1/2 c Cognac (optional)
Trim every bit of fat possible off the meat and discard. Place the meat in
a large non-metal container.
Mix all of the other ingredients together and pour over the meat. Marinate
the meat in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or up to 8 days. Turn the
meat several times during marination so that no section is allowed to
become dry.
When ready to roast, transfer the meat to a large heavy roaster pan (an
enameled iron roaster with a lid would be ideal). Remove the bay leaf,
peppercorns, whole allspice and whole cloves (if used) from the marinade
and pour the marinade over the meat.
Roast the meat in a 350 F oven, basting frequently. Allow 30 to 40 minutes
per pound. The inside temperature should be 165 F to 175F as measured with
a meat thermometer. Remove the cover during the last 1/2 hour. You should
be able to "cut with a fork" when done. If the pan becomes too dry, add
additional red wine and/or water, 1/2 cup at a time. You will want at least
1 cup of liquid remaining in the panwhen the roast is done.
Transfer the roast to a carving platter and allow it to cool slightly
before carving. If desired, serve surrounded with small baked apples or
spiced crab apples.
HUNTER'S SAUCE: Strain the liquid and vegetables from the roasting pan.
Transfer the vegetables to a food processor or blender. Return the liquid
to the roasting pan and skim off as much fat as possible. Add 1/2 cup of
hot water to the pan and bring to a boil over high heat, scraping up the
particles adhering to the pan. Reduce the liquid to 1 cup.
Puree the vegetables in the food processor or blender. Add the reduced
cooking liquid and blend until smooth. Transfer to a small saucepan and
bring to a boil, stirring constantly. If the sauce is too thick, thin to
the desired consistency with hot water. Serve in a silver or pewter
pitcher, bowl or sauceboat.

Title: Rolled Buttery Lemon Cookies (Mailanderli)
Categories: Cookies, Switzerland, Entertain, Desserts
Servings: 50
1/2 c Butter, slightly softened (1
-stick)
2/3 c Granulated sugar, plus more
-for garnishing
1 lg Egg
Finely grated peel (yellow
-part only) of 1 large
Lemon
1 3/4 c All-purpose or unbleached
-white flour
1 lg Egg yolk beaten with 1
-tablespoon water
For glazing cookies.
Grease several baking sheets and set aside. With a mixer at medium speed,
beat the butter in a large mixer bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in the
sugar until well blended and smooth. Beat in the egg and lemon peel. With
the mixer at low speed, beat in the flour just until evenly incorporated.
Divide the dough in half. Place each portion between large sheets of waxed
paper. Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough to a scant 1/4 inch thick.
Check the undersides and smooth out any wrinkles in the waxed paper. Stack
the rolled portions on a tray or baking sheet. Refrigerate for about 20
minutes or until cold and firm, but not hard.
Heat the oven to 375F. Working with one chilled portion of dough at a time
(keep the other one chilled), peel away a layer of waxed paper. (This makes
it easier to lift the cookies from the paper later.) Replace the paper and
turn the dough over. Peel of the second layer of paper. Using a 2-inch
round or scalloped cutter (or a small juice of sherry glass) cut out the
cookies. Use a spatula to carefully lift the cookies from the paper and
place them about 1 inch apart on the baking sheets. Reroll the dough scraps
between waxed paper; rechill in the refrigerator. Repeat the process with
the second portion of dough.
Working with a few cookies at a time, brush the tops with the egg
yolk-water mixture using a pastry brush or paper towel. Sprinkle the tops
lightly with granulated sugar. Repeat until all of the cookies are
garnished.
Bake the cookies for 6 to 9 minutes or until the top is just tinged with
brown and slightly darker at the edges. Let cool on the baking sheets for
about 2 minutes. Transfer to wire racks and let stand until thoroughly
cool. Store airtight for up to a week. Freeze for longer storage.
Makes 50 to 60 cookies.

Knead dough on a floured board until smooth and elastic (about 20 minutes).
Shape into a round ball, cover with plastic and refrigerate 1 hourl
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Shape the pizza dough into a ball and then
roll out into a large oval shape (about 24 inches long). About 2 inches
behind the front edge, spread the pesto in a long stripe, stopping just
short of the ends.
Just behind and overlapping the pesto, place a layer of the ham slices,
then a layer of cheese then the coppacolla, peppers and pepperoncinis. You
should still have about 2 inches of dough showing at the back edge.
Beat the egg and brush on the back edge and ends of the dough.
Roll up Calzone as firmly as possible (so no air gets inside). Tuck the
ends in and finish with the back edge on the bottom, not on the side.
Place on a baking sheet pan sprinkled with corn meal, brush with egg white
and bake in a 400 degree oven for 20 minutes.
Cool to room temperature and slice. Can be sliced thin for appetizers
NOTE: To roast peppers, preheat broiler. Slice the peppers in half
lengthwise. Core them and remove the seeds and ribs. Lay the pieces skin
side up on a flat broiling pan and place the pan 3 - 4 inches below the
heat. Broil the peppers until the skins are charred (they should be
black). Then place the peppers in a plastic bag, seal it with a twist tie
and set aside. Let peppers steam in the bag for 15 minutes. Remove the
peppers from the bag and slip off the charred skins.

Servings: 4
2 Eggplants (1 lb each)
1 1/2 ts Sea salt, or more to taste
1/3 c Safflower oil
1/4 c Extra-virgin olive oil
1 tb Milk
1 Fresh tomato, sliced
15 Greek black olives

From The New York Cookbook by Molly O'Neill.
Roast each eggplant, turning frequently, over a flame or under a broiler,

peel the eggplants and rinse thoroughly under cold water. Quarter the
eggplants lengthwise and discard as many seeds as possible. Toss with 1 tsp
sea salt, then place the eggplants in a stainless-steel or other
non-aluminum colander and squeeze out as much water as possible. Allow to
drain in the colander for 30 minutes. Blot up any excess moisture with
paper towels. Cut the eggplant flesh into 1 1/2 inch cubes. Place the cut
eggplant in a glass or ceramic bowl and, stirring continuously with a
wooden spoon, slowly add the safflower and olive oils and remaining 1/2 tsp
sea salt. Stirring, add the milk. Spread out the eggplant on a large plate,
and using a fork, score parallel lines on the surface. Garnish with the
tomato slices and olives. Serve the chopped onion on the side. Makes about
2 1/2 cups, serves 4 to 6. -!-

Title: Rosti (Swiss-Style Potato Cake)
Categories: Switzerland, Vegetables
Servings: 4
1 3/4 lb Potatoes (see below)
3 oz Butter, lard or bacon fat
1 1/2 tb Water or milk
This is a favorite dish of German-speaking Switzerland. Besides being
served as a side dish with meat or fish, it is sometimes eaten on its own,
for lunch or even breakfast, with milky coffee.
The potatoes should be boiled in their jackets the day before. These should
be waxy potatoes of the potato-salad kind. The next day, peel them and
grate them on the coarsest blade of the grater. Heat a large heavy frying
pan, and let the fat get hot: then put in the potatoes, sprinkle with salt,
and fry, turning them constantly. When they have soaked up the butter or
whatever, add more. Now form a "cake" by pushing the potatoes from the
edges of the pan into the middle and flattening down the top.
Sprinkle with the water or milk, reduce heat, and cover with a lid or
inverted dish. Shake the covered pan occasionally to keep the potatoes from
burning, and leave on low heat for at least 15 minutes. The potatoes must
stick together, but not to the bottom of the pan. When cooked, turn the
cake out onto a plate, bottom side up, and serve. (Or alternately, brown
the other side as well.) . Variations: (1) Saute 2 T chopped onions in the
fat before adding the potatoes. Don't let them brown. Also note that in
this version, the potatoes will need less fat. (2) Saute 2 - 3 1/2 oz.
diced bacon before adding potatoes. You won't need any extra salt. (3)
Sprinkle cooked potatoes with grated cheese before serving, and heat it
briefly in the oven to melt it.

fingertips so that each piece of margarine is coated with flour - but not
broken up. 3. Add 6 Tablespoons water and mix lightly with the blade of a
knife into a soft dough, making sure that the pieces of margarine are kept
whole. If some of the flour is loose in the bowl, add a little more water
and mix until it is worked in and the dough fairly soft. 4. Gather together
with the fingertips, turn out onto a well-floured board and again sprinkle
with flour. 5. Form into a small oblong, flour the rolling pin and roll
lightly and carefully to a strip approximately 10 inches by 5 inches. 6.
Brush off any surplus flour. Fold into three by folding the bottom third
upwards and the top third downwards and over to cover it. 7. Lightly press
the three open edges with the rolling pin to seal.
Second Rolling:
8. Turn the pastry round on the board so that the right hand edge faces
you. Roll out to a strip approximately 9 inches by 6 inches. 9. Brush off
any surplus flour. Fold into three again and seal the edges. Place on a
floured plate; sprinkle with flour; cover with a damp cloth or plastic bag
and leave in a cold place for 20 minutes.
Third and Fourth Rollings:
10. Repeat stages 8 and 9 for the third rolling (the resting period can be
omitted) and again for the fourth rolling. (If the dough is streaky and
rough in appearance, give it a fifth rolling. 11. After the last rolling
and final resting, the pastry is ready to roll to the thickness stated in
the recipe used.
Following is the recipe for Eccles Cakes, using this pastry.

1 sm Shallot or onion
1 1/2 lb Veal, ground
1/2 c Chopped tomatoes
-OR- tomato juice
1 Cinnamon stick; -OR-
1 ts -Ground Cinnamon
Salt; if necessary
Freshly ground black pepper
1 ts Chopped fresh basil
-(more if desired)
2 Eggs; separated
1 1/2 c Thick Saltsa Aspri
1/2 c Grated mizithra cheese
-OR- kefalotyri cheese
1/2 ts Grated nutmeg
Heavy greaseproof paper
-(about 20 by 20 inches)
12 Filo pastry sheets
1/3 c Butter or margarine
- melted and warm
2 Eggs, hard-cooked; sliced
1 tb Chopped fresh parsley
Heat the butter in a large frying pan, then saute the onion until soft. Add
the meat, mashing it with a fork until the raw color disappears. Add the
tomato and cinnamon, cover and simmer about 20 minutes, stirring once or
twice. Remove the lid and season judiciously (if the cheese is salty,
don't add salt until the very end). Stir in the basil, then remove the
cinnamon stick and cool. Using a wooden spoon, mix the egg whites into the
meat. Meanwhile, prepare the saltsa aspri (it must be thick) and combine
with the egg yolks, cheese, and nutmeg. Taste to see if salt is needed.
To make the loaf, spread the baking paper flat on your work surface. Lay a
sheet of filo (keeping the rest covered with a damp towel or waxed paper)
in the center of the paper and brush with butter. Continue laying filo,
one sheet on top of another, brushing each with butter, to make a large
"base" on which to roll the meat loaf (about 15 x 15 inches). Spread half
of the saltsa aspri in the center of the filo, alowing wide margins for
turning later. Spread the meat mixture over the sauce to a length of about
9 inches. Lay the egg slices over the meat, cover with the remaining sauce,
and sprinkle with parsley. Turn the edges of the filo up over the meat and
roll into a loaf. Fold the paper over the loaf, secure it, and place, seam
side down, in a baking pan. Bake for 1 hour in moderate oven (350 F),
removing the paper after 35 minutes to allow the filo to get crisp. Brush
the outer surface of the filo with butter or margarine for a higher golden
chestnut color.
With wide spatulas, lift the loaf onto a warm platter. Serve immediately,
with fresh green salad, black olives, and a heady wine.

in your mouth cinnamon crescents, since they freeze perfectly and thaw
quickly. Rugalahs can be frozen either baked or unbaked. To bake frozen
rugalahs, allow an extra five minutes cooking time.
In large bowl, using pastry blender or 2 knives, cut butter into flour
until mixture resembles coarse bread crumbs. Cut in cream cheese until
dough feels moist. Knead dough until you can gather into large ball.
Divided into 8 pieces. Wrap individually and refrigerate at least 1 hour or
overnight. (Let dough stand at room temperature for about 15 minutes before
rolling) In medium bowl combine brown sugar, cinnamon and cocoa. Stir in
hazelnuts. Set aside until ready to use. On lightly floured surface, roll
each piece of dough into circle 10 inches in diameter. Spread about 2 tbsp
jam over each circle; sprinkle with some brown sugar mixture. Cut circle
into 10-12 equal wedges. Roll up each one from outside, curving slightly to
form crescent. Place about 2 inches apart on greased or parchment lined
baking sheet. Repeat with remaining peices of dough. Beat together egg and
salt and brush it onto each cookie. Sprinkle with coarse sugar or nuts.
Bake in 350 F oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden. Makes 96 crescents.

Title: Rye Sourdough Starter
Categories: Breads, Jewish
Servings: 1
1 pk Dry yeast
3 c Water, tepid (80-degree)
3 1/2 c Flour, rye medium
1 Onion, small, peeled and
Halved.
The 4-cup batch of starter made by this recipe is enough to bake any of the
rye breads requiring a rye starter, with enough left over to serve as the
nucleus for another baking. When you "feed" leftover starter... which
should be done every 2 weeks or so.. add a little rye flour and water,
using 3 parts of flour to 2 of water. To build up a small amount of starter
to a quantity large enough for baking, do the job in several steps, never
adding a larger measure of flour than the amount of starter on hand. Let
the starter stand at room temperature overnight or for up to 24 hours,
until it is bubbly and no longer smells floury. To increase further, add
more flour and water in the same proportions and again let the starter
ferment until it is bubbly enough to use. Store leftover starter in the
refrigerator between bakings and "feedings," and for indefinite storage,
freeze it. Thaw, then feed the starter and let it ferment at room
temperature before use. Makes about 4 cups.
1. Dissolve the yeast in 2 cups of the tepid water, then beat in 2 cups of
the rye flour, beating until no lumps remain. Add the onion, cover loosely
with a cloth, and let stand at room temperature for 24 hours. 2. Remove the
onion. Beat in 1 cup tepid water, then 1 1/2 cups rye flour. Cover with
the cloth and let stand for 24 hours longer. The starter should now be
pleasantly sour-smelling, almost beery, and bubbly. (Depending upon the
temperature of the room, a slightly longer or shorter period of
fermentation may produce this result.) TO USE: The starter is now ready for
use and can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours before use, without further
feeding. If you must hold the starter longer before use, the night before
it is wanted, add 1/2 cup tepid water and 3/4 cup rye flour and let is
stand at room temperature overnight.

25 Saffron strands
1/2 c Hot water
2 tb Olive oil
1 1/2 c Basmati rice
2 1/2 c Water
Salt; to taste
Soak the saffron in the hot water for 10-15 minutes. Put the rice in a
strainer and rinse under hot water until it runs clear. Then rinse again
under cold water and leave to drain.
Heat the oil in a saucepan and add the rice. Sauté until it becomes
translucent. Add the remaining amount of water and salt, bring to a boil,
and add the saffron infusion. Stir, cover tightly, and leave to simmer on
a very low heat (preferably on a heat diffuser) - for about 20 minutes,
until craters from on the surface.
Stretch a piece of cheesecloth or a dish towel over the top, cover tightly
with a lid, and leave in a warm corner to rest for 10-15 minutes. The cloth
will absorb the steam from the rice and allow the grains to separate.

Categories: Lamb, Norwegian, Scandinavia
Servings: 6
3 lb Salt
4 qt Water (less if the leg is
-smaller)
1 tb Sugar
8 lb Leg of lamb
You will need a large saucepan and a large crock. Dissolve the salt in the
water to make a brine. Add the sugar. Put the leg of lamb in a large
crock and pour enough brine over it to cover it completely. Put a weight
on top to keep it underwater. Leave to take the salt in a cool pantry (not
below the freezing point, or the salting process comes to a halt) for 2
weeks for a leg weighing 8 lbs (roughly 2 days per pound of meat.)
Take the leg out after the allotted time and rinse thoroughly so that you
do not get too salty a rind. Hang it out to dry in a well-aired cool
pantry, wrapped in a loose bag of cheesecloth or muslin to protect it from
flies. It will be dry, delicious, and ready to eat in 2 to 3 months.
Serve, sliced very thin with a sharp knife, as part of an indoor picnic
meal, with sweet butter, fresh hard-boiled eggs, a sliver of 'geitost' (the
Norwegian sweet brown cheese), and flat bread or potato pancakes to wrap
around each morsel. A bowl of sour cream and some fresh raspberries can
follow as a replacement for Norwegian cloudberries.
Yield: 3 to 5 lbs dried meat. Allow 1/4 lb of dried meat per person.

1 Sausage and Peppers
RE: Crock pot recipes
DC>I am not the most creative person in the world when it comes to using my
crock pot. Do any of you have favorite recipes you could post for me?
Here are a couple of things that I make in mine. I don't have exact
measurements though, because these are just things I thought up myself.
Brown italian sausage (I usually get about two pounds) in skillet or put
under
broiler just till browned. Drain off fat and let cool just till you can
handle them. Meanwhile they are browning, cup up a whole bunch of onions
and peppers, and if you want, add a clove of garlic. Place vegees in
crockpot. Then cut up sausage in very small pieces. Add to crockpot. Cover
with an eight-ounce can tomato sauce and add oregano, basil or whatever.
Sook about six or seven hours. Serve in sub rolls or on hamburger burns or
over rice.
2 Barbecued Beef
Get a very small pot roast. Season and put in crockpot. Cover with
barbecue
sauce. Add more sauce near the end because the sauce will lose its flavor
during cooking, or add new sauce after slicing. Remove roast from crockpot
after cooking, and slice into thin slices. (maybe slices isn't the right
word,
it kind of shreds.) Anyway, serve in hamburger buns. Good with baked
beans and salad.

1 lb Dried fruit (prunes,
-apricots, apples, pears)
4 Fine pork chops or 1 lb lean
-pork steaks
2 oz (4 Tbsp) lard or butter
You will need a medium-sized stewpan with a lid. Soak the fruit for a
couple of hours - or overnight if possible - in either plain water or cold
tea which will give a darker, richer juice to cover.
Fry the chops in the fat, turning them once, so they take color. Add the
fruit and the soaking liquid. Cover and simmer all together for 30 to 35
minutes, or until the fruit is soft and the chops cooked through.
Serve with potato dumplings.
Serves 4. Time: Start the day before; 10 minutes plus 35 minutes cooking.

Servings: 8
MMMMM-----------------------FOR THE PLUNDERTEIG----------------------------
1 1/2 c Unsalted butter
1/4 c Flour
2 pk Yeast; 2 envelopes
- water
1 Egg; beaten
1/3 c Sugar
1 c Milk; chilled
3 1/2 c Flour
MMMMM------------------------FOR THE SCHNECKEN-----------------------------
1 Egg; well beaten
pn Salt
1/2 c Candied fruit; finely diced
1/4 c Raisins
2 tb Cinnamon sugar
Apricot jam
- water to thin the jam
Making the Plunderteig: (the pastry)
Mix the butter with the 1/4 c. of flour, blending thoroughly. Chill the
floured butter. Soften the yeast in a little water, then add the egg,
sugar, milk and the 3 1/2 cups of flour, beating the dough well and working
it until it is smooth and pliable. Roll out the dough on a well-floured
board, into a 15" square. Roll out the chilled floured butter to a
rectangle about 6" X 12". Place the butter dough on one-half of the dough,
fold over the other half, and press the edges together.
Roll out the folded dough about 1/2" thick, fold it in thirds and turn it
so that the open end faces front. Roll it out again, fold it in thirds,
turn and repeat the rolling, folding and turning three more times. Chill
the dough for about 1/2 hour.
Making the Schnecken:
Cut off a third of the chilled dough, and roll out a rectangle about 12"
by 8" and about 1/4" thick. Brush the dough with the egg, which has been
beaten with the pinch of salt. Cover it with the candied fruit and raisins
and sprinkle it with the cinnamon sugar. Turn over 1/4" on one edge and
roll up the dough like a jelly roll, rolling it back and forth to make it
nicely rounded and smoothing the edges. Cut it into 2" pieces, arrange the
pieces 4" apart on a well-buttered baking sheet and flatten them lightly.
Brush them with beaten egg and let them rise, covered, in a warm place
until they double in bulk, about 1 1/2 hours. Bake in a moderate oven (350
degrees F.) for 20 minutes, or until they are light and golden.
Thin the jam with a little water, and brush it over the hot pastries.
Note: The remaining dough may be used to make more Schnecken or to make
other pastries.

Categories: Soups, Pasta, German
Servings: 4
1 Egg
1 tb Water
Salt
200 g Flour (1 3/4 cups)
Meat broth
Ground nutmeg
Chives
On a pastry board, combine the flour, egg, water and salt into a pasta
dough, then roll it out paper thin. Hang the dough over the back of a
chair or something similar for drying. After the dough has been drying for
1 1/2 to 2 hours, cut it into 2/3-inch squares. As you spread out the
dough on the board, you will have to keep dusting it with flour. Bring
some lightly salted water to a boil and cook the 'Fleckle' for about 10 to
15 minutes. Drain, briefly rinse in cold water, and then add to the hot
meat broth. Adjust soup's seasoning, and top with chopped chives.
Variation: RIEBELESUPPE
Prepare a dough as for the 'Schneiderflecklesuppe', but make it a bit
firmer so you will be able to grate it onto the board. Cook 'Riebele' for a
few minutes in salted water, then strain and add to hot meat broth.

Beat the egg lightly with the water and dip the floured cutlets in the
mixture; coat with crumbs. Using the side of a kitchen knife, tap the
cutlets lightly so the crumbs will adhere well to the meat. Transfer them
to a wire rack. Refrigerate for one or two hours. This will help the
breading adhere to the cutlets when they are being cooked.
Heat the butter in a large skillet and, when it is hot but not brown or

Arrange the cutlets on a heated serving platter and garnish with the capers

Categories: Eggs, Scottish
Servings: 6
1 lb Well-seasoned ground pork
-sausage
6 Hard-cooked eggs, peeled and
-well chilled
1 Raw egg
1/2 c Bread crumbs
Divide sausage into 6 equal portions and flatten into patties large enough
to encase the hard cooked eggs. Place one egg in the center of each patty
and mold the meat around the egg.
Lightly beat the raw egg in a medium size bowl. Roll each sausage-encased
egg first in the beaten egg and then in bread crumbs, firmly pressing the
crumbs into the meat.
In a medium-to-large pot, (I use my deep-fat frier) heat oil to 375 F and
deep fry the eggs for 4 to 6 minutes. Drain eggs on a paper towel and
chill until serving time.
Karin's only flaw in this is that she states that this "Makes 6 servings"
Actually, the first time I saw these, they were at an Xmas party and had
been sliced lengthwise so this would make 12.
A belated thanks to Karin for the recipe. The other partys name is in an

Title: Scotch Pancakes
Categories: Pancakes, Scottish
Servings: 8
1/4 lb Plain white household flour
1 ts Bicarbonate of soda
1 1/2 ts Cream of tartare
1 oz Caster sugar
1 Egg
1/4 pt Milk or cream
Sift the flour with the raising agents and stir in the sugar. Make a well
in the centre and break the egg into it. Whisk the milk into the egg, then
gradually incorporate the dry ingredients to make a very smooth, thick
batter. Alternately, simply mix everything together in a food processor.
If time permits let the batter stand for 30 minutes before cooking.
Heat a griddle, bakestone or cast-iron frying pan until very hot - or
cook direct on the hot plate of an Aga. Grease your chosen surface lightly
with buttered paper, using just enough fat to prevent the pancakes from
sticking. Using a large metal spoon held point downward, drop a few small
rounds of batter on to the hot surface. Space them well apart. Cook over
steady heat until bubbles rise to the surface and the underside of the
pancakes are browned - about 2 minutes. Loosen them gently with a palette
knife, then flip them over and cook for about 1 minute longer. Makes about
16 pancakes. Source: Philippa Davenport in "Country Living" (British),

Title: Scottish Eggs
Categories: Eggs, Scottish
Servings: 6
1 lb Sausage meat
7 Eggs
2 tb Finely chopped or grated
-onion
1 ts Poultry seasoning or sage
1 ts Cumin
1 ts Water
Flour for coating purposes
Fine, dry breadcrumbs
1/2 Dz Kokanee beer
First, you shoot a bear and have part of the meat made into sausage. If
you're one of those unfortunates who doesn't hunt, I suppose you'd use pork
sausage meat instead.
To begin, crack a Kokanee, pour it into a frosted mug and quaff it while
six of the eggs are hard boiling. When they're done, put them to one side
and mix the meat, onion, and spice mixture together. Take the resulting
mixture and coat the eggs with it carefully and evenly. You might even
want to peel the shells off first - although they do add an interesting
texture.
When the eggs are done, roll them in the flour, shake off the excess, and
put the eggs in the fridge for about an hour so the meat sets up. While
you're waiting, you might as well crack another Kokanee and put your feet
up; no sense straining yourself.
A couple of minutes before the hours up, lightly beat the remaining egg
with the tsp. of water. Again, you might want to remove the shell... Take
the eggs, dip them in the egg mixture, and roll them in the breadcrumbs;
they are now ready for cooking.
Traditionally, Scotch Eggs are deep fried. You can do that if you wish,
but who needs all the extra grease in their diet and the mess and smell? I
suggest you bake them in the oven at 375 F. for about 20 minutes or until
the sausage covering is firm when picked at with a knife or fork. I usually
stick them on a wire rack with a pan underneath so that they don't sit and
cook in any grease that renders out of the sausage.
Once done take a buddy, yourself, the Scotch Eggs, and the remaining
Kokanee into the living room. Watch Hockey Night in Canada as the
Vancouver Canucks beat some godless team from the east while drinking
Kokanee and munching the Eggs (you that is, not the Canucks) - no life like
it.
These go well with Lowenserf Hot German mustard or Louisiana Hot Sauce.
Best way to serve them is with a chilled Spinach and Bacon salad and fresh
tomatoes. Enjoy!

6 oz Streaky Bacon
6 Button onions
4 tb Butter
1 tb Flour
1 tb Curry-powder
1 ts Mushroom-powder
Celery (optional)
Coco-nut (optional)
Salt and cayenne to taste
1 pt Well seasoned stock
Choose a fat, fresh rabbit. (To test it, examine the kidney.) Cut it into
at least twelve pieces; brown these in butter, with onions. When browned,
if you wish delicate cookery, pour off the butter and add three-quarters of
a pint of well-seasoned stock, one large spoonful of curry-powder and one
of flour, six ounces of streaky bacon cut into half inch cubes, and also
half a dozen button onions. Season with a teaspoonful of mushroom powder.
Simmer this slowly for half an hour at least, stirring it. Add what more
seasonings you think required, as cayenne, a little turmeric, or some acid.
Pile up the pieces of rabbit and pour the sauce, which should be thickish
as in all curry dishes, over them. Serve with plain boiled rice in a

Fresh coco-nut is an excellent ingredient in mild curries. Rasp and stew
it the whole time; we do not like green vegetables in curries though they
are sometimes used. Mushrooms are an enrichment, celery is good, and onion
is indispensable.

In a large bowl with an electric mixer, beat the eggs, sugar, and vanilla,
until the mixture is thick and pale. Sift the flour and baking powder over
the egg mixture and fold them into it gently but thoroughly. Line the
bottom of a 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking pan with parchment paper, spread the
batter in the pan and bake in a preheated 400°F oven for 8 minutes or until
it is puffed and golden. Invert onto a lightly sugared kitchen towel. In a
small saucepan, melt the jam over low heat. Stir in kirsch and spread the
surface of the cake with the jam mixture. Starting with a long side and
using the towel as a guide, roll up the cake, jelly-roll fashion and
sprinkle it with Sherry. Wrap the sponge roll firmly in the towel. Let it
cool and cut int into 3/4-inch slices. In a bowl, set over a saucepan of
simmering water, beat the yolks and the sugar with an electric mixer until
the mixture is thick and pale. Remove from heat and stir in gradually,
milk, cream, and vanilla. Cook the custard in the bowl over the simmering
water, until it registers 170°F on a candy thermometer. Transfer the
custard to a metal bowl and whisk in the creme fraiche and Sherry. Set the
bowl in a larger bowl of ice water and whisk until custard is cool. Chill
it, covering surface with plastic wrap, until it is cold. Assembly: In the
bottom of a 2-1/2-qt. trifle bowl, scatter half the amaretti crumbs. Top
them with half the sponge roll slices, and top those with the remaining
amaretti crumbs. Sprinkle the Sherry over the remaining sponge roll
slices, line the side of the bowl with the slices, and pour in the custard,
spreading it to let it seep down around the sided and bottom. Chill the
trifle for at least 2 hours and up to 24 hours. Just before serving, in a
bowl with an electric mixer, beat the cream until it is stiff. Transfer it
to a pastry bag, fitted with a decorative tip and pipe rosettes around the
edge and in the center of the trifle. Sprinkle pistachios over the trifle

500 g Finely ground veal or lamb
1 lg Onion; finely chopped

1/2 c Finely chopped parsley
2 ts Salt
250 g Panna (caul fat from pig)
Combine pork with veal or lamb, onion, parsley, salt and a generous
grinding of black pepper.
Dip panna into a bowl of warm water for a minute or two, remove and
carefully open out a piece at a time, laying it out flat on work surface.
Cut with kitchen scissors into pieces about 10 cm (4 inches) square.
Take a good tablespoon of meat mixture and shape into a thick sausage about
5 cm (2 inches) long. Place towards one edge of piece of panna, fold end
and sides over meat and roll up firmly. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
Thread sausages on flat sword-like skewers, leaving space between them.
Number on each skewer depends on their length.
Cook over glowing charcoal, turning frequently. Do not place too close to
heat as sheftalia must cook fairly slowly so that the inside is well cooked
and the outside nicely browned without being burnt. The panna melts during
cooking, keeping the meat moist and adding flavour. Excessive flaring of
fire can be controlled by a sprinkle of water on the coals. Serve sheftalia
as an appetizer or a main course.

Title: Shrimp Risotto
Categories: Italian, Shrimp, Rice
Servings: 4
1 lb Shrimp (unshelled)
1 Bay leaf
Celery leaves (A few)
6 Peppercorns
Salt, to taste
Saffron threads (A few)
3 3/4 c Water
6 tb Butter, divided
1 Onion, chopped
1 Clove garlic, crushed
2 c Italian Arborio rice
1 1/4 c Dry white wine
2 Zucchini, cut into thin
-strips
6 oz Oyster mushrooms, cut into
-pieces
2 tb Chopped fresh parsley
1/4 c Grated Parmesan cheese,

Rinse and peel the shrimp; set aside. Rinse the shrimp shells, then put
them in a saucepan along with the bay leaf, celery leaves, peppercorns,
salt, saffron, and water. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 20 minutes.
Strain and reserve the stock.
In a heavy large saucepan or skillet, melt 3 tablespoons of the butter; add
the onion and garlic. Cook for about 5 minutes or until softened but not

1/3 of the reserved stock and bring to a boil, then simmer, uncovered,
until the stock is absorbed. Stirring, gradually add more stock and the
wine until it has all been absorbed and the rice is cooked; this will take
about 20 minutes.

mushrooms; cook for 3 or 4 minutes. Fold the mixture into the rice along
with the rice and half of the cheese. Taste and add salt, if needed.
Serve piping hot, sprinkled with the remaining cheese.

Title: Sicilian-Style Sausage Patties
Categories: Pork, Italian
Servings: 12
2 lb Fat-trimmed pork (or veal)
-shoulder, ground
1/2 c Chianti wine
2 Cloves garlic, minced
2 tb Minced fresh (or 2 tsp.
-dried) thyme
1 tb Paprika
2 ts Salt (or smoke flavored
-salt)
1 ts Fennel seeds
1/4 ts Each: black pepper and red
-cayenne pepper (or more to
-taste)
Note: It's not necessary to stuff meat mixtures into sausage casings. In
fact, if you plan to barbecue, it's better to shape the meat into flat
hamburger-like sausage patties that fit in pita pockets or on thin rounds
of French or Italian Bread.
To Make Patties: Combine all ingredients and mix lightly. Shape into
patties, six per pound of meat. Raw patties may be frozen for later use;
Arrange them in a single layer on a cookie tin lined with aluminum foil.
Cover with foil, label and freeze. Patties may be barbecued or broiled
without defrosting.
To Cook: Place patties 3 inches from heat source and broil or barbecue for
about two to three minutes per side (three to four minutes each side if
frozen); be sure meat is cooked through. Makes 12 patties, 130 calories
each with pork; 100 calories each with veal.

Title: Sima - Finnish May Day Drink - Pronounced (See-Mah)
Categories: Beverages, Finnish
Servings: 24
10 qt Water;fresh pure
2 Lemons;fine
2 1/2 c Brown sugar
2 1/2 c White sugar
1/3 c Dark corn syrup;optional
1/4 ts Dry yeast
Raisins
Shave the yellow peel from the lemons, cutting very thinly so that as
little of the white underlayer as possible is attached. Set the yellow
slices aside. Then peel the bitter white underlayer off and discard it.
Slice the lemons into very thin slices. Place them into a container and
cover them so they don't dry out.
Boil the water in a large kettle. Remove it from the heat and stir in the
yellow lemon peel, the sugars, and the syrup. When the sugars have
dissolved, cover the kettle and let the contents cool to room temperature
(25'C or 75'F). Then add the lemon slices and the yeast. Leave it to stand
overnight.
Place 4-5 raisins and a teaspoon of white sugar in the bottom of each of
several clean bottles (wine or soda pop). Pour the sima into the bottles,
straining it through a sieve to remove the lemon. Cap the bottle tightly.
The sima will be ready to drink when the raisins rise to the top of the
bottles, about 3-7 days depending on the temperature of the room where they
are stored. Serve it well chilled.

Court Bouillon

Chives
3/4 c White Macon Wine

1/2 c Milk
Flour

Salt And Pepper
Chopped Parsley, To Garnish
[Looking at the ingredients, I figure that this'll feed 4 as a main course
or 8 as an appetizer. -- mkm] Preparation 1 1/2 hours. Cooking 1 1/4
hours. Cook the snails in advance in a court bouillon, then remove them
from their shells. [There's a description of court bouillon in "Joy of
Cooking." Basically, a court bouillon is an aromatic liquid or stock,
sometimes containing wine, vinegar or lemon juice, used mainly for cooking
fish and shellfish, but also sometimes white offal (variety meats) and some
white meats. -- mkm] Chop them, together with the peeled shallots and a
small bunch of well-washed chives. Place these ingredients in a saucepan
with the wine, cover and simmer for 1 hour. Meanwhile, soak the frogs' legs
in the milk for 1 hour. Drain them, then roll in flour and saute in the
butter in a frying pan over a brisk heat for 10 minutes. Add the snails,
together with their cooking juices, and season with salt and pepper.
[Personally, I prefer to mill the pepper at the dinner table. The smell of
the freshly ground pepper would otherwise be lost. -- mkm] Turn up the
heat and cook for a further 5 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and
serve. White wines: Macon-Clesse, -Lugny, -Vire or -Ige, Hermitage, Crepy.

MMMMM------------------------TO PREPARE SNAILS-----------------------------
Wheat, flour and/or thyme
Salt
MMMMM-------------------FOR FIRST RECIPE, TO SERVE 1------------------------
1 lb Snails
1/2 c Olive oil
1/4 c Red wine vinegar
MMMMM-------------------FOR SECOND RECIPE, SERVING 1------------------------
1 lb Snails
1/2 c Olive oil
Salt
1 Onion; grated
1/4 c Chopped fresh parsley
1 lb Peeled, chopped tomatoes
The Greek gift for having a word for it applies richly to snails, usually
called "salingaria" on the mainland, but "hohli" on Crete and "karaoli" on
Cyprus. Hohli are a favorite Cretan food, and the delicious cooking
methods explain why. Snails are scrupulously avoided except in summer,
when they are considered safe to eat. Since snails absorb the odors and
taste of foods on which they feed, Cretans catch them after a rainfall, put
them in a covered container, and feed them for several days on wheat,
flour, and perhaps some thyme. Then the real fun begins. The amounts of
the other ingredients in this recipe are based on a pound of snails. One
pound of snails serves 1 or 2.
First be sure all the snails are alive, then wash them thoroughly in
cold water and place in their shells in a container large enough to hold
them. Pour hot water over them to cover and bring to a boil. Add a
teaspoon of salt for each quart of water and continue to boil for 20
minutes, skimming off foam. Drain the snails, then wash in cold water and
drain again. In a deep, heavy pan, heat olive oil almost to the boiling
point, using 1/2 cup olive oil per pound of snails. Add the snails and fry
for 10 minutes, turning carefully with tongs to avoid spattering oil. Pour
in 1/4 cup red wine vinegar for each pound of snails. Remove from heat and
stir constantly for a few minutes. Remove the snails to individual plates
and serve hot with a little of the remaining sauce, and some bread and
wine, as an appetizer or first course.
SNAILS BRAISED WITH TOMATOES Prepare the snails for cooking as directed
above. In a deep, heavy pan, heat 1/2 cup olive oil per pound of snails,
add some salt for seasoning and then the snails. Cover, lower the heat, and
cook for 10 minutes, turning once. Add a grated onion and 1/4 cup chopped
fresh parsley per pound of snails. Stir over medium heat for a few minutes,
then add a pound of peeled, chopped tomatoes for each pound of snails.
Cover and simmer for 30 minutes, or until the tomatoes are tender. Serve
with fried potatoes and baby zucchini salad.

Title: Snails, Sicilian Style
Categories: Appetizers, Sicilian, Entertain, Snails
Servings: 6
2 lb Land Snails
Water
Salt
2 Cloves Garlic Finely Chopped
1/4 c Olive Oil
Freshly Ground Black Pepper
1/2 c Lemon Juice
There is a small membrane, known as an operculum, at the opening of each
snail. Use a toothpick to remove this membrane and it will come off
easily. Place the snails in a basin and rinse thoroughly with cold water.
Drain and rinse once more in cold water that contains a generous amount of
salt. Rinse once more in cold water before cooking. Add four quarts of cold
water to a kettle and add the snails and about three tablespoons salt.
Bring slowly to a boil and simmer six minutes, stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile, place the garlic and one teaspoon of salt in a small, heavy
bowl. Crush the garlic with a pestle or the back of a heavy spoon to make
a paste. Add the oil, pepper (to taste), lemon juice, and six tablespoons
cold water. Stir with a whisk to blend. Drain the snails and serve hot
with the sauce cold. Note: To eat the snails, pull out the meat with a
pick and dip them one at a time in the sauce. The whole snail may be eaten,
although the most fastidious prefer to skip the soft after end of the meat,
which is the digestive tract. From "The New York Times International
Cookbook."

2 qt Cold water
4 md Garlic cloves
- peeled and minced
4 lg Yellow onions; peeled
- and coarsely chopped
3 tb Peanut, corn or veg. oil
3 md Maine or Eastern potatoes
- peeled & coarsely chopped
1/2 ts Crumbled leaf thyme
1/2 ts Ground coriander seeds
1 lg Bay leaf; (do not crumble)
1 qt Beef or chicken broth
-(preferably homemade)
1/2 lb Pepperoni or chorizo
- or if available,
- Portuguese chourico or
- linguica,
- sliced about 1/4-in thick
1 c Finely chopped fresh spinach
- (leaves only)
1 1/2 ts Salt
1/4 ts Freshly ground black pepper
2 tb Olive oil
SOAK THE GARBANZOS overnight in 6 cups of the water in a large heavy
kettle. Next day, add the remaining 2 cups water, bring to a gentle boil,
cover, and cook 4-to-5 hours or until the garbanzos are very tender.
Meanwhile, stir-fry the garlic and onions in the peanut oil in a second
large, heavy kettle over moderate heat for 12-to-15 minutes until lightly
browned. Add the potatoes and stir-fry 2-to-3 minutes; add the thyme,
coriander, and bay leaf, turn the heat down low, and allow to mellow about
10 minutes. Pour in the broth, bring all to a gentle simmer, cover and cook
slowly. As soon as you've set the 2 kettles to simmer, stir-fry the
pepperoni in a large heavy skillet 3-to-5 minutes--just until lightly
browned and most of the drippings have cooked out. Drain the pepperoni
well, reserving 1 tablespoon of the drippings. Set aside. Return 1
tablespoon drippings to the skillet, add the spinach and stir-fry 2-to-3
minutes over moderate heat just until glazed and intensely green; reserve.
When the garbanzos are tender, puree 1/2 of them by buzzing 60 seconds in a
food processor, adding only enough kettle liquid to puree them easily.
Return the pureed garbanzos to the kettle in which they cooked. Now puree
the potato mixture in 2 batches, buzzing each 30-to-40 seconds in a food
processor. Blend the potato mixture into the garbanzo mixture, add the
reserved pepperoni and spinach, cover, and simmer 30-to-40 minutes--just
long enough to mellow the flavors. Season to taste with salt and pepper,
remove the bay leaf, then smooth in the olive oil.

2 lb Lamb shoulder;-OR-

2 Garlic cloves; minced
1 ts Oregano;dried
2 ts Lemon rind;long strips up to

MMMMM-----------------------------TZAZIKI----------------------------------
2 c Yogurt;pain
1/2 Cucumber;English,peeled &
-grated
2 Garlic cloves;minced
3 tb Olive oil
1 ts -salt
"Begin preparing the tzazik a few hours before serving. The flavours need
time to blend. Marinate the meat overnight to absorb the wine and garlic."
Souvlaki: Place the meat in a large bowl. Pour in the wine and sprinkle
minced garlic and oregano. Imbed the lemon strips among the cubes of meat
and drizzle with olive oil. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate
12 hours or overnight. Shake or stir the mixture several times during the
marination period.
About 30 minutes before serving, drain off and discard the marinade.
Thread the chunks of meat onto long skewers, brushing with a little olive
oil. (We usually BBQ the peppers and tomatoes on separate skewers but it's
really up to the chef.)
Over medium coals, barbeque the souvlaki until it's done the way you like
it. Serve on a bed of rice and pass the tzaziki to sppon on top. SERVES 4-6
Tzaziki: Line a colander or sieve with cheesecloth (or gauze) and set it
over a bowl. Pour in the yogurt and allow it to drip for an hour or so.
After the yogurt has drained, combine it, in a small bowl, with the
cucumber and the garlic. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and
refrigerate until just before serving. While the meat is BBQing, drizzle
the olive oil over the surface, and without stirring, sprinkle on the salt.
It needs no mixing - your guest will do that when they dollop it onto their
souvlaki. MAKES: About 3 cups

1/3 c Olive oil or butter
1 sm Bunch scallions; chopped
3 lb Spinach; washed & drained
1 sm Bunch parsley; chopped
1 sm Bunch fresh dill; chopped
Salt & freshly ground pepper
1/2 lb Feta cheese, crumbled
4 Eggs; lightly beaten
12 Commercial filo sheets
6 tb Butter; melted
Bread crumbs, if necessary
Heat the 1/3 cup oil in a large pan and saute the scallions until soft.
Meanwhile, pan the spinach (cook it without adding water, then drain it
thoroughly) or salt and rinse it (the latter method is used extensively in
Greece, but it not advisable). Squeeze out excess liquid. Add the spinach
to scallions and stir in the parsley, dill, and a very little salt and
pepper. Cook gently for 10 minutes, then cool. (This much can be done in
advance and stored in the refrigerator). Using a wooden spoon, stir in the
feta and eggs.
Butter a 9 x 12 x 3-inch baking pan and in it spread 6 filo sheets,
brushing each with melted butter. Pour in the spinach filling, then cover
with the remaining filo sheets (buttering each as before). Tuck the top
filo over the bottom and flute the edges. Score the top 3 filo sheets into
square or diamond shapes. Bake in a moderate oven (350 F) for 40 minutes,
or until crisp and a golden chestnut color. Remove from oven and let stand
for 15 minutes before cutting. Serve warm.
Note: Some of the favorite variations: Use some nutmeg, or substitute mint
for the dill; use grated cheese instead of feta (be discreet with the salt
if the cheese is salty); add a small handful of raw long-grain white rice
to the filling. You will surely invent your own flavor combinations which
is why spanakopita is so great.

Servings: 8
Karen Mintzias
1 lb Curly endive
3 lb Fresh bulk spinach
-washed, large stems removed
3 bn Large scallions
- white and green chopped
- together
5 tb Fruity olive oil
1 Lemon
1 1/2 c Finely chopped fresh dill
1 ts Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tb Rice or cracked wheat
MMMMM------------------------------PASTRY-----------------------------------
1 1/2 c All-purpose flour
Extra flour for rolling
1 ts Sea salt
1 ts Baking powder
5 tb Olive oil (about)
1 tb Sesame seeds
Start by making the pastry. Sift the flour with the salt and baking
powder. Mix in about 6 tablespoons water, a little at a time, until the
dough is gooey, but not wet. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil, plus another
teaspoonful, and a little more flour, if needed, to make a cohesive mass.
Knead the dough for 5 to 10 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Cover it
and set aside to relax for an hour or two.
For the filling, separate the curly endive leaves, so the vegetable will
cook in the same time. Steam the spinach and endive together in a large
pan, in the water clinging to the leaves, plus just an extra 1/2 cup. Turn
the leaves over occasionally, so they wilt evenly. When they are wilted,
but not mushy, drain them in a colander, pressing firmly with the back of a
wooden spoon to remove as much excess liquid as possible. (Reserve the
liquid for use in soup, or drink with a squeeze of lemon juice, as the
Greeks do.)
Saute the scallions in 2 tablespoons olive oil, until barely soft. Add a
few tablespoons of water if they stick to the pan. Roughly chop the cooked
spinach and curly endive and finely grate the zest from the lemon. Then
toss the cooked vegetables with the scallions, parsley, dill, lemon zest
and 1 tablespoon lemon juice, salt, and pepper, adding 3 tablespoons olive
oil. Set aside until you are ready to fill the pastry.
Choose an ovenproof earthenware or glass baking dish 2 to 2-1/2 inches deep
and about 2-quart capacity and brush the inside with oil. Divide the
pastry into two unequal parts, and then again into halves. On a floured
surface roll out one of the larger pieces of pastry. This should be large
enough to line the dish, coming up and over the sides - this should make it
very thin. Fit it into the baking dish and brush it with olive oil. Do the
same with the second piece of pastry, placing it on top of the first, and
brush again with olive oil.
Sprinkle the tablespoon of rice or cracked wheat over the bottom, to soak
up excess juices, and fill with the spinach and herb mixture. Roll out the
remaining two pieces of pastry, separately, to fit the top of the dish.
Place the first on top of the spinach, brush with olive oil, then place the
second on top of that. Prick the pastry with a fork in an attractive
pattern and brush the entire top with olive oil. Sprinkle with sesame
seeds. Bake in an oven preheated to 350 F for 45-50 minutes, until golden
brown.

until soft and transparent. Add the rice and saute for a few minutes,
stirring constantly, then add the tomato sauce (or same amount of canned
chopped tomatoes, drained) and water, cover the pan and simmer until the
rice is almost tender (approximately 10 minutes). Uncover and stir in the
spinach, parsley, mint; season with salt and pepper. Partially cover the
pan and continue cooking, stirring with a wooden spoon until the spinach
has wilted. Grate a little nutmeg over the top and continue cooking until
all the liquid has been absorbed and the spanakorizo is tender, not mushy.
Remove from the heat and drape with a dry towel until ready to use.
Transfer to a warm serving dish, and garnish with the sliced eggs and lemon
wedges. Serve warm.
Note: To make Prassorizo (Leek Rice), substitute 1 1/2 pounds sliced leeks
for the spinach and add with the liquid. Leeks need longer cooking time.

Title: Spatzle
Categories: Pasta, German
Servings: 1
8 oz Flour
1 c Water
2 Eggs
Pinch of salt
Blend the mixture to a soft consistency, but firm enough to handle and
form into slices. Prepare small slivers on a wooden platter. Boil salted
water and drop slivers in the water. Cook for 8 minutes, drain and dry.
Pan fry the spatzle in fat til golden brown for 4 minutes and serve as
a garnish or place spatzle in a shallow dish with grated cheese or cheese
sauce and serve like noodles.
The professional way is to place the spatzle in boiling water is to
place the mixture in a piping bag fitted with a small plian tube and as the
pasta comes out of the bag cut it by dipping knife in hot water after each
cut.
A simpler method is to place the spatzle on a greased piece of wooden
board and immerse the board with the pasta balls in a tray of hot water.
The spatzle will detach themselves from the wooden board without losing
their shape.

Title: Speckknoedel (Austrian Bacon Dumplings)
Categories: Pork, Austria, Tyrolean
Servings: 3
6 sl Slightly stale white bread
5 sl Thick cut bacon
1/3 c Light cream
1/2 c Flour
1/2 ts Baking powder
1/4 ts (heaping) caraway seeds
1/4 ts Dried thyme
1/4 ts Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 ts Salt (or to taste)
Yolk of one large egg
1 tb Unsalted butter
1/2 c Sliced white onions
1/2 lb Rinsed and drained
-sauerkraut
1 tb Chopped fresh parsley
1. Trim the bread slices and cut them into 1/2 inch cubes.
2. Cut the bacon slices into 1/3 inch squares. Saute them over moderate
heat in a large skillet for about 5 minutes. Stir frequently. Transfer them
to paper towels with a slotted spoon, and pat dry.
3. Pour water to a depth of 3 inches into a wide bottomed pot and bring it
to a simmer (in preparation for step 8).
4. Brown the bread cubes in the hot bacon fat for 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer
them to a large bowl.
5. Add the cream to the bowl. Gently toss the bread until it absorbs all
the cream. Add to this mixture the bacon, flour, baking powder, caraway
seeds, thyme, pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. Beat the egg yolk and
add it to the bowl. Gently blend all the ingredients.
6. Shape the mixture into 1 1/4 inch spheres with your hands. (If your
mixture is too dry, moisten it with a little more cream.) Place the
dumplings on a plate as you make them, arranging them in one layer so they
do not touch each other.
7. Melt the butter to moderate heat in a clean large skillet. Add the
onions and saute for 2 minutes. Add the sauerkraut and the remaining salt
and blend the mixture. Cover, and cook for 12 minutes.
8. Cook the dumplings in the simmering water for about 10 minutes (start
this step as soon as you cover the onion-sauerkraut pan.) You need not
turn the dumplings as they will do that by themselves.
9. Transfer the cooked 'speckknoedel' to a warm bowl and cover them with
the onion-sauerkraut mixture. Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.
Serves 3 to 4.
(Note: The ingredient listing does not show any butter, but the
instructions do. One Tbsp would do adequately, I would think. (And back
home, we would dust the onions with flour near the end of the roasting
period, and add a little stock, to have the sauerkraut in a thin sort of
gravy. Karin.)

1 lb Small squid
1/4 c Olive oil or corn oil
3 Onions; peeled, sliced
1/4 c Vinegar
1/2 c Dry red wine
2 Cinnamon sticks
4 Whole cloves
1 Bay leaf
Salt & freshly ground pepper
Wash and clean the squid, separating the outer sacs from the heads and
tentacles, removing and discarding the translucent cartilage, and small
sand bag and ink. Rub salt on the outer sacs and rinse them inside and out
with cold water. Rinse head and tentacles thoroughly.
Heat the oil in a pan, add the squid, including the tentacles, and onions,
and cook slowly until the onions are translucent. Pour the vinegar and
wine over the squid and onions, then add the remaining ingredients and
enough water to almost cover the squid, if necessary. Cook, uncovered,

absorbed, approximately 1 to 1 1/4 hours. Remove the spices and bay leaf.
Cut the squid into bite-sized pieces and serve warm or cold.

Title: Spinach Cheese Stromboli
Categories: Italian, Vegetables
Servings: 8
1 pk Yeast
2 lb Ricotta
2 ts Sugar
1 pk Spinach, frozen chopped
-(cooked)
1/3 c -Warm water
4 c Flour
1 c Parmesan
3 tb Butter; in pieces
1/2 lb Mozzarella, sliced
1 ts Salt
2 tb Butter; melted
1 c -Ice water (without cubes)
Sesame seeds
Preheat oven to 200 degrees for 15 minutes and turn off. Combine yeast,
sugar and warm water in a small mixing bowl. Set aside for 5 minutes
until foamy. In the workbowl of a food processor, add flour, butter pieces
and salt. Process for 20 seconds. Add ice water to yeast. With the
processor running, add yeast-water mixture gradually, until all of the
moisture is absorbed and the dough leaves the side of the bowl. Process for
an additional 60 seconds. Transfer dough from the workbowl to a large
greased mixing bowl. Cover with a kitchen towel and place in warm off oven.
Allow to rise until doubled, approximately 1-1/2 hours.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine ricotta, spinach and parmesan cheese.
Punch down the risen dough and transfer to a floured rolling surface. With
quick, hard strokes, roll dough into a large rectangle, approx- imately 1/2
inch thick. Layer one-half of the mozzarella cheese evenly down the center
leaving approximately three inches of exposed dough on either side. Top
with ricotta-spinach mixture and the remaining mozza- rella. Overlap the
exposed dough over the cheese mixture and pinch well on all sides to seal.
Transfer to a large cookie sheet, seam side up. Cover with a kitchen towel
and return to the warmed oven. Allow to rise until doubled, ap- proximately
45 minutes. Brush loaf with melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Bake at 350 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes or until loaf is well browned and
hollow sounding when thumped.

Coarse salt and freshly
-ground pepper to taste
1/2 c Dry white wine
2 c Canned Italian tomatoes

SQUID STUFFED WITH RICOTTA AND SPINACH
Do not overstuff the squid or they may split while they cook. Rice and

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Clean the squid and chop the
tentacles finely. Set them aside.
2. Saute the onion and the garlic in 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and the
butter until the onion is soft. Add the tentacles and cook for 2 minutes.
Add
the spinach and saute, stirring, until it has wilted. Drain off any extra
liquid and cool the spinach.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta, egg, parsley, and the cooled
spinach
mixture. Mix thoroughly and season with salt, pepper, and hot pepper
flakes.
4. Stuff the mixture loosely into the squid and close the openings
securely with a toothpick.
5. Use the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to grease a rectangular
baking dish large enough to hold the squid comfortably in one layer.
Arrange the squid in the dish and add the wine and tomatoes. Season with
salt, pepper and more hot pepper flakes, if you wish.
6. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the squid is tender and the sauce
has thickened. If there is too much sauce, raise the oven temperature and
allow the liquid to reduce. If there is too little, add more white wine.
Serve the squid with lemon quarters.

pieces. Sprinkle water over the flour mixture, a tablespoon at a time, and
mix lightly with a fork, using only enough water so that the pastry will

Categories: Stew, Greek, Beef
Servings: 6
2 lb Boneless shoulder or top
-round of beef, cut into
2 Inch cubes
3 tb Olive oil (more if needed)
2/3 c Dry red wine
2 c Italian-style canned
-tomatoes, drained, chopped,
Juice reserved
2 Cloves garlic
1 ts Salt
2 Whole cloves, broken
1/4 ts Cinnamon
1/4 ts Allspice
1 Bay leaf
1/8 ts Freshly ground black pepper
1/3 c Parsley
2 tb Tomato paste
2 lb Tiny white onions, or
-coarsely chopped regular
-onions
2 tb Butter
10-12 Greek olives
Turn oven on to 325 degrees F.
Dry meat on paper towels; it won't brown if it is wet. Heat the oil in a
heavy skillet and brown the beef pieces well on all sides, a few pieces at
a time. As they are browned, transfer the pieces to a lidded, flameproof
casserole, with a very low flame under it. Rinse the skillet with the wine
and pour the wine into the casserole. Cover and cook for 10 minutes. Stir
in the tomatoes.
Using a heavy fork, mash together the garlic and salt, and stir into the
stew with the cloves, cinnamon, allspice, bay leaf, pepper, 2 tablespoons
of the parsley, and the tomato paste.
Drop the onions into boiling water for about 5 seconds, drain, and run
under cold water. Trim the ends and slip off the skins. Make a shallow
cross cut at root ends. Heat the butter in the skillet and cook the onions
slowly, stirring to coat them with butter and to brown here and there, in
spots. Do them in batches and add to the casserole as they are browned.
Cover casserole and place in the oven. Reduce heat as low as possible to
just maintain the simmer. Check in 10 minutes and adjust oven temoerature
if necessary. Cook for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, or until meat is fork tender. Add
juice from tomatoes or hot water if stew gets too dry during cooking. Tip
the pot and skim off fat. Check and add salt if needed.
At this point stew can be refrigerated or froazen; aftger cooling transfer
to a clean casserole or baking dish if the cooking vessel looks messy.
Serve sprinkled with the remaining parsley and olives.
Makes 6 servings.

Categories: Breads, German
Servings: 2
1/2 c Chopped candied citron
1/4 c Chopped candied angelica
1/2 c Golden raisins
:Boiling water
8 tb Butter
2 pk Dry yeast
1 c Milk; warmed
1 ts Salt
2 Eggs; slightly beaten
2/3 c Granulated sugar
1/2 ts Mace
1/4 ts Ground cardamom
5 1/2 c All-purpose flour (about)
3/4 c Chopped blanched almonds
2 tb Confectioners' sugar
PREHEAT OVEN TO 350F. Combine the citron, angelica and raisins in a small
bowl, pour boiling water over to cover, then stir and let stand. Melt the
butter and let cool to lukewarm. Sprinkle the yeast over the milk in a
large bowl, stir, and let stand a few minutes to dissolve. Add the salt,
eggs, butter, granulated sugar, mace and cardamom, and mix well. Add 2 cups
of the flour and beat vigorously until smooth. Add 3 more cups flour, 1 cup
at a time, beating well after each. After adding the last cup, beat until
the dough holds together in a shaggy ball. Turn out onto a lightly floured
surface and knead for a minute or 2, sprinkling on more flour if necessary
to keep it from being too sticky. Let rest for 10 minutes. Drain the fruits
and raisins in a strainer and press firmly to remove excess water.
Sprinkle the fruit and nuts over the dough, and resume kneading until the
dough is smooth and elastic. Add a little more flour as necessary to keep
it from being too sticky. Place in a greased bowl, and turn the dough about
to coat all surfaces. Cover and let rise until double in bulk. (This dough
is especially rich, and the first rise might take as long as 3 hours,
depending on the temperature of your kitchen.) Punch the dough down and
divide in half. Shape and pat each piece into an oval about 10 inches long
and 4 1/2 inches at the widest part. Fold almost in half the long way,
bringing the upper edge only about 2/3 of the way over, so the bottom edge
extends beyond the top. Place the loaves on a greased baking sheet, leaving
several inches between them. Cover lightly and let rise for 45 minutes.
Bake in a preheated 350F oven for about 40-to-45 minutes, until nicely
browned. Remove from the oven and dust with the confectioners' sugar
sprinkled through a sieve, then transfer to racks to cool.

Title: Strudel Dough
Categories: Desserts, Slovenian
Servings: 6
*INGREDIENTS*
2 c Flour
1Tbls. butter or
-margerine
1/4 ts Salt
3/4 c Water, lukewarm
1 Whole egg
Source: Treasured Slovenian & International Recipes
*DIRECTIONS* Mix flour, butter, egg and salt. Add lukewarm water and mix.
Place on a board and knead for 10 minutes or more; or you may toss and beat
dough on the board for about 15 minutes. The more you beat the dough the
better the dough will be to work with. Place in a greased bowl. Cover and
let rest for at least one hour.
*HOW TO STRETCH STRUDEL DOUGH* Spread table with a cloth large enough to
hang over the sides. Sprinkle lightly with flour and place dough in the
center. With a floured rolling pin, roll out the dough to make an 18 inch
circle. Slide hand gently below circle of dough and let the dough rest on
the back of your hands with your palms down. Now pull the center of the
dough gently toward you. Stretch and pull the dough as you walk slowly
around the table. Dough should be thin as tissue paper. Then tear or cut
off the thick outer edges, leaving about two inches of dough hanging over
the sides of the table. Now proceed to spread on the desired filling
immediately. Roll up gently by lifting the cloth and place your strudel in
a well greased baking pan to bake.
(You can also use this recipe for struklje)
*VARIATIONS* The only difference is that Grandma uses a large cast-iron
skillet to bake these. She says that you get a better crust this way.
Because of the skillet, once you roll up the strudel (like a jelly roll)
you must curl the strudel into a spiral shape to fit into the skillet.

1/2 c Pine nuts
1/4 c Chopped fresh parsley
1/4 c Chopped fresh dill
Salt & freshly ground pepper
3 Eggs
1 Lemon, juice only
2 tb Butter; cut into bits
Plunge cabbages into boiling salted water and cook about 8 minutes, then

currants, pine nuts, parsley, dill and season with salt and pepper. Cool.
Separate 2 of the eggs and mix the egg whites into filling. Reserve the
yolks for the avgolemono. Stuff and roll the cabbage leaves, using one
heaping tablespoon filling, roll up snugly, then place, seam side down, in
a casserole. Dot with butter and add water to cover, then cover cabbage
rolls with an inverted plate and cover casserole. Simmer for approximately
1 hour, then transfer to a warm serving dish and keep warm. Strain the
remaining liquid for the avgolemono sauce. Beat the remaining eggs and
yolks for 2 minutes. Continuing to beat, gradually add the lemon juice.
Then add the 1-1/2 cups cooking liquid by droplets, beating steadily, until
all has been added. Cook over hot water, not boiling, stirring constantly
until the sauce thickens enough to coat a spoon. Pour over the cabbage
rolls and serve hot. From: "The Food of Greece" by Vilma Liacouras

mixture sit for 2 hours.
In the center of each grape leaf place a small amount of the rice mixture.
Fold the bottom of the grape leaf up and the sides over. Roll the grape
leaf up.
Line the bottom of a large saucepan with some of the grape leaves. Place
the rolled grape leaves on top, seam side down, so that they are tightly
packed.
Sprinkle on the lemon juice. Add enough water to cover the rolled grape
leaves. Place an oven-proof plate on top of the rolled grape leaves to
press them down. Cover the pot and bring the liquid to a boil over high
heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer the rolled grape leaves for 45 to
60 minutes, or until most of the water is absorbed. Let them sit for 1
hour before serving.

Title: Stuffed Polenta with Meat Sauce
Categories: Italian, Low-cal
Servings: 6
4 1/2 oz Yellow cornmeal
2 oz Freshly grated Parmesan
-cheese
1 tb PLUS 1 tsp olive oil
1 c Chopped onion
3 Cloves garlic, minced
8 oz Ground beef, broiled on a
-rack until rare
2 c Drained, crushed canned
-Italian tomatoes
2 tb Salt-free tomato paste
1 ts Dried basil, crushed
1/2 ts Dried oregano, crushed

POLENTA: In a heavy medium saucepan, bring 3 1/4 cups of water to a boil
over high heat. With a large wire whisk, slowly whisk in the cornmeal in a
steady stream, whisking rapidly and constantly to prevent lumps. Reduce
the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon,
until very thick, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in half
of the Parmesan cheese. Coat two 9-inch square baking pans with nonstick
cooking spray. Spread the polenta evenly in the two pans. Place the pans
in the freezer for 20 minutes to chill.
Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and
garlic; saute for 1 minute. Cover and let steam 10 minutes, stirring
occasionally. Add the cooked ground beef, tomatoes, tomato paste, and
seasonings. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 15
minutes.
Preheat the oven to 450F. When the polenta has chilled, spread half of the
meat sauce evenly over one layer in pan. Top with half of the mozzarella
and half the remaining Parmesan cheese. With your fingers, loosen the
edges of the polenta in the other pan. Invert the second pan over the
first so that the drops out into place.. Spread evenly with the remaining
sauce and sprinkle with the remaining cheeses. Bake until hot and bubbly,
about 15 minutes. Cut into squares to serve.

Title: Summer Blueberry Tart (Tarte Aux Myrtilles D'ete)
Categories: Desserts, French
Servings: 8
MMMMM---------------------------PATE BRISEE--------------------------------
1 1/2 c Unbleached white flour
2 tb Sugar
1/2 c Butter; chilled
-- cut into small pieces
1 Egg yolk
1 tb Fresh lemon juice
1 tb -Cold water, more if needed
MMMMM-----------------------------FILLING----------------------------------
5 c Fresh or frozen blueberries
2 tb -Water
1/3 c Sugar
1 tb Cornstarch; dissolved in:
2 ts -Water
MMMMM-----------------------------OPTIONAL----------------------------------
1/2 pt Heavy cream; whipped
FOR THE PATE BRISEE, stir the flour and sugar together in a mixing bowl.
Cut the chilled butter into small pieces and drop into the flour. With
your fingers, lightly and quickly rub the butter and flour together until
the mixture becomes crumbly, or cut it in with a knife or pastry cutter.
Whisk together the egg yolk, lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon of water.
Sprinkle the liquid over the butter-flour mixture and continue to stir or
rub this mixture between your fingers until a ball of dough forms. Be
careful not to overwork the dough. If the mixture is crumbly, add up to
one more tablespoon water, sprinkling it over the dough and lightly
kneading it into a ball.
On a floured board and with a floured rolling pin, roll out the dough into
a large circle. Gently lift it into a 9- or 10-inch pie plate or tart tin.
Patch any holes in the crust with bits of dough and trim the edges. Flute
the crust. Chill for 2 hours.
Preheat the oven to 375 F.
Place a sheet of aluminum foil in the bottom of the crust and fill it with
dried beans or rice to weigh it down during baking. Bake for 15 minutes.
Remove the crust from the oven and carefully lift out the foil and beans.
Bake for 5 minutes more. Cool.
TO MAKE THE FILLING, heat in a small saucepan 2 cups of the blueberries, 2
tablespoons of water, and the sugar. Crush a few berries with a spoon to
release the juice. When the berries have softened and become juicy, add
the cornstarch mixture. Simmer on low heat for about 10 minutes, stirring
occasionally, until the mixture thickens. Remove it from the heat and fold
in one more cup of blueberries. Pour the berry mixture into the baked pie
shell. Top with remaining 2 cups blueberries. Cool for at least one hour.
Serve plain or topped with fresh whipped cream, if desired, or sweetened
Creme Fraiche.

Title: Suomalaisruisleipa (Finnish Rye Bread)
Categories: Breads, Scandinavia, Finnish
Servings: 6
1 1/2 c Beer, buttermilk, milk, or
-potato water
2 tb Butter or margerine
1 ts Salt
1 tb Dry yeast
1/2 c Warm water
1 tb Sugar
2 c Dark rye flour or light rye
-flour or rye meal (rye
-flour with bran)
3 1/2 To 4 cups unbleached white
-flour
Will have a more or less sour taste, depending whether it is made with
beer, buttermilk, potato water, or milk, in that order.
Heat 1 1/2 cups liquid to lukewarm. Stir in the butter and salt. Set
aside to cool.
Dissolve the yeast in the warm water (a temperature comfortable on the
inside of the wrist) with the sugar. Let stand for 5 minutes or until the
yeast bubbles.
Stir the yeast mixture into the cooled liquid. Add the rye flour and beat
until smooth. Add the white flour, a cup at a time, stirring after each
addition until enough is added to make a stiff dough. Dust a work surface
with white flour. Form the dough into a rough ball, place it on the work
surface, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rest for 15 minutes.
Generously butter a large bowl or pot.
Adding only as much flour as necessary to prevent sticking, knead the bread
dough until smooth, about 5 minutes. (The gluten in rye is more fragile
than in wheat. It needs a resting time to recuperate and reform and does
not need as lengthy or vigorous a kneading). Form the dough into a smooth
ball and place it in a buttered bowl, turning it to coat all sides with the
butter. Cover it and let it rise in a warm spot until doubled in size,
about 2 hours.
Punch the dough down, gently knead it for one minute, and divide it into
two parts. Form each half into a round loaf and place the loaves in two
lightly buttered 9-inch round cake pans or on a large, buttered baking
sheet. Press a hole through the center of each loaf to give it a
traditional shape if you wish. Cover and let rise until almost doubled in
size, about 1/2 hour.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. BRush the loaves with water and gently
puncture the surface all over with the tines of a fork, in a design if you
wish.
Bake for about 30 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and sounds
hollow when tapped on the bottom. While it is hot, brush it with butter to
glaze, and then let it cool on a rack.
Yields 2 round loaves.

Karen Mintzias
1 c Boiling water
4 tb Butter or margarine
1/4 ts Salt
1 tb Granulated sugar
1/2 ts Grated orange rind
1 c All-purpose flour
1 ts Baking powder
4 Eggs
Olive or other vegetable oil
Honey; warmed
Ground cinnamon
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the boiling water, butter, salt, sugar,
and orange rind. Bring to a boil. Meanwhile, sift together the flour and
baking powder. Add the dry ingredients all at once to the hot mixture,
beating hard with a wooden spoon over medium heat until the mixture forms a
compact mass and leaves the sides of the pan. Remove from the heat and let
cool for 1 minute. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating hard after each
addition; the mixture should be smooth, glossy, and thick. Heat the oil
(which should be 2-1/2 to 3 inches deep) almost to the smoking point, then
drop the batter by tablespoons into the oil, without crowding, to form
puffs. When the puffs surface, turn them to fry on all sides, using tongs,
then lift them out, drain off excess oil on absorbent paper. Place on warm
platter and keep warm. If using the syrup, boil the syrup ingedients for 5
minutes; spoon the syrup, or warm honey, over the puffs, sprinkle with
cinnamon, and serve hot.

Title: Swabian Pockets (Maultaschen)
Categories: Pastry, German
Servings: 4
2 3/4 c Flour
4 Eggs
Salt
Filling:
1 tb Butter
6 Strips medium-lean bacon,
-cut into cubes
3 md Onions, diced
1/4 lb Fresh sausage meat (from
-sweet Italian sausage
Preferably)
1 Hard roll, without crust,
-and best when stale
1/2 lb Cooked spinach
1/2 lb Ground meat or lightly
-smoked farm sausage
1 c (bauernbratwurst) or
-leftover roast, stew meat,
-etc.,
Diced
3 Eggs
3 tb To 4 tb chopped fresh
-parsley
Salt and freshly ground
-black pepper
Grated nutmeg
1 Egg
3 tb Canned milk
Certainly if anyone were to insist that 'Maultaschen' were the most
delicious of all Swabian specialties, I[=Horst Scharfenberg] would hardly
be prepared to deny it. In fact, as indicated earlier, I suspect that
'Maultaschen' would have very good chances in a four-way international
competition with ravioli, won tons, and pirogi for the championship of the
Roughly Rectangular Pasta with Meat (plus Miscellaneous) Filling division.
It has been said that 'Maultaschen' were originally invented in order to
allow Swabians to keep eating meat during Lent by concealing it beneath the
pasta shell and amidst the spinach filling from the eye of the parish
priest (if not the omniscient Deity Himself). The following recipe is
typical but far from definitive, especially where the ingredients for the
filling are concerned. Feel free to use whatever you have on hand or
whatever your fancy (or your conscience) dictates. Dough: enough beef stock
or salted water to cook the 'Maultaschen' Combine the flour, eggs, and salt
in a bowl and mix to make a pasta dough. Then add a little water and knead
until it has a firm but elastic consistency. To make the filling, melt the
butter in a skillet and fry the bacon with the onions until both are quite
translucent. Combine the bacon mixture with the sausage meat. Moisten the
hard roll in water, press dry, and put through the meat grinder (better
than the food mill or food processor), along with the bacon mixture, cooked
spinach, ground meat or smoked farm sausage, leftover roast, etc. Then fold
in the eggs, parsley, and seasonings; mix together. The filling should be
very spicy indeed. On a board that has been sprinkled with flour, roll out
the dough into rectangular sheets (about twice as wide as you want your
'Maultaschen' to be). Take a tablespoon measure and put little dabs of
filling at equally spaced 3-inch intervals all down the middle of one side
of the sheet of dough. Mix together the egg and canned milk and apply it to
the spaces in between, the outer edge and the fold line. Fold the plain
half of the sheet of dough over to cover the filling, press down firmly on
the spaces around the little packets of filling, and use a pastry wheel or
knife to separate the packets into 3-inch square or diamond-shaped
'Maultaschen'. The process is similar to making ravioli. Cook thoroughly in
beef stock or boiling salted water for about 10 to 15 minutes, dpeending
upon the size of the 'Maultaschen'. They'll bob up to the surface when
they're done; remove them with a slotted spoon and allow to drain. Serving
suggestions: Cut an onion or two into half-rings, fry in butter until
golden brown amd empty the contents of the skillet over the 'Maultaschen'
on the serving dish. Serve with slippery potato salad or a mixed green
salad. Swabian Won Ton Soup: Serve a couple of 'Maultaschen' in a bowl of
hearty beef broths; garnish liberally with finely chopped onion. Swabian
Fried Won Tons: Allow the boiled 'Maultaschen' to cool, then cut into
strips. Saute in a skillet until crisp on the outside. Serve with potato
salad. Maultaschen Croque Monsieur: Arrange several portions in an
ovenproof casserole, cover with boiled ham and a couple of slices lof
cheese, and heat in the oven until the cheese reaches the desired
consistency. Serve with green salad. From: THE CUISINES OF GERMANY by

Title: Swiss Flan
Categories: Appetizers, Switzerland
Servings: 10
1 c Biscuit mix
3 tb Butter
1/4 c Light cream
FILLING:
1 Onion, large, sliced or
-chopped
2 tb Butter
2 Eggs, beaten
2 c Natural Gruyere cheese (1/2
-lb), shredded
1/4 ts Salt
PASTRY:
A Swiss cheese pie is called "flan." The pastry for this pie is sometimes
closer to a rich biscuit dough, but in other versions a short pastry may be
used. The word "flan" means different things in different countries; In
Spain it is plain cramel custard, in France a fruit tart in pastry, in
Switzerland a cheese custard in pastry. And sometimes Swiss Flan is made
with onions and cheese in custard!
TO MAKE THE PASTRY, chop butter into the biscuit mix, work in cream, and
roll out on lightly floured board; or press into a 9 inch pie plate,
fluting the edges. Chill while preparing filling.
FOR THE FILLING, cook onion in butter until golden; cool slightly. Add
eggs, cheese, and salt. Pour this mixture into pastry, and bake in oven
preheated to 425 degrees F. (very hot) for 15 minutes; then reduce heat to
350 degrees F. (moderate) and continue baking 25 to 30 minutes or until a
knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Serve warm as a luncheon
entree to 4 to 6 persons, or cut into small wedges for appetizers. Makes 10
to 12 appetizers.
VARIATIONS: Instead of this pastry, regular pie crust may be used. Or make
pastry of 1 cup flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/3 cup
butter, and 1 beaten egg. Do not attempt to roll out this butter-rich
pastry; press it with your fingers into pie pan, fluting the edges.

Source: FOODday, July 9, '91 From: Valerie Whittle
This cinnamon-orange marinade, characteristic of Balkan cooking, is a
specialty of Georgia in south-central Russia. The tabaka marinade is
usually used with chicken and game hen, but it also goes nicely with
swordfish.
Remove zest of 1 orange and the lemon. (This is best done using a
vegetable peeler. Be sure to take only the zest, not bitter white pith
beneath it.) Juice oranges, lemon and limes. Combine juice and zest in
bowl. Peel and mince garlic and ginger root. Finely chop onion. Add garlic,
ginger and onion to citrus juices along with cinnamon, paprika, sugar,
salt, black pepper, nutmeg, wine and oil. Whisk to mix. Makes enough
marinade for 1 1/2 pounds chicken, game hens and swordfish.

1 tb Water (more if necessary)
1/2 Onion, (optional); grated
Soak the tarama in warm water a few minutes, then rinse and drain. If using
bread slices, discard crusts, soak bread in water, then squeeze dry. Using
an electric blender or electric mixer (or old-fashioned mortar and pestle),
thoroughly blend the bread or potatoes and the tarama. Add the olive oil as
slowly as possible, blending at medium speed, plus a little water if the
mixture forms peaks. Add the grated onion, if desired, then whip at high
speed for a few minutes.
Note: The flavor may be mitigated to suit taste by adding more bread or
potato; a too-salty taste may be adjusted by dropping in a few tablespoons
of sour cream while blending. Leftover taramasalata can be stored in a
covered jar in the refrigerator for 7 to 10 days.

Title: The Dreaded Haggis
Categories: Lamb, Scottish
Servings: 6
1 Sheep's stomach
1 Sheep heart
1 Sheep liver
1/2 lb Fresh suet (kidney leaf fat
-is preferred)
3/4 c Oatmeal
3 Onions, finely chopped
1 ts Salt
1/2 ts Freshly ground pepper
1/4 ts Cayenne
1/2 ts Nutmeg
3/4 c Stock
Wash stomach well, rub with salt and rinse. Remove membranes and excess
fat. Soak in cold salted water for several hours. Turn stomach inside out
for stuffing.
Cover heart and liver with cold water, Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover
and simmer for 30 minutes. Chop heart and coarsely grate liver. Toast
oatmeal in a skillet on top of the stove, stirring frequently, until
golden. Combine all ingredients and mix well. Loosely pack mixture into
stomach, about two-thirds full. Remember, oatmeal expands in cooking.
Press any air out of stomach and truss securely. Put into boiling water to
cover. Simmer for 3 hours, uncovered, adding more water as needed to
maintain water level. Prick stomach several times with a sharp needle when
it begins to swell; this keeps the bag from bursting. Place on a hot
platter, removing trussing strings. Serve with a spoon. Ceremoniously
served with "neeps and nips"--mashed turnips, nips of whiskey and mashed
potatoes.

Title: Three Meat Stew with Vegetables (Pichelsteiner)
Categories: Stews, Bavarian, German
Servings: 4
1 tb Lard
1 1/4 lb Pork and beef as well as
-lamb or mutton (mutton
-gives
An excellent flavor), cut
-into 3/4 inch cubes
2 md To 3 md onions, diced
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Crushed marjoram
3 md Potatoes, peeled and finely
-diced
1 sm Celery root, peeled and
-diced, OR 4 celery
Stalks, diagonally sliced
1/2 lb Carrots, peeled and
-diagonally sliced
1 lg Leek (white part only),
-washed and sliced
2 c Beef stock
Chopped fresh parsley
Heat the lard in a heavy bottomed pot (or ovenproof Pyrex casserole or the
like). Lightly sear and mix together the meat cubes and the onions; season
with salt, an ample amount of pepper, and a very little bit of crushed
marjoram. Remove two thirds of the meat and onions from the pot and set
aside.
Mix the potatoes and vegetables together; spread a third of these over the
bottom layer of meat cubes in the pot or casserole. Sprinkle with salt and
a little pepper. Alternate 2 more layers of meat with 2 more layers of
vegetables. Each layer should be separately seasoned with salt and pepper;
the top layer MUST consist of vegetables and potatoes. Pour in the beef
stock. Cover tightly and cook over medium-low heat for just about 2 hours.
Cooking in a 350 degrees F oven is also possible. You should not stir the
stew, but you can tilt the pot back and forth to circulate the liquid and
prevent the bottom layer from burning. Serve sprinkled with chopped
parsley.
Variations:
Savoy cabbage is frequently added to the roster of vegetables, and it
tastes delicious. Sliced kohlrabi would be fine as well.
For a truly gourmet 'Pichelsteiner', 6 to 8 slices of bone marrow should be
briefly sauteed with the onions at the beginning, then added to one of the
in-between layers of meat. Doubling of ingredients is advisable.
Pichelsteiner tastes excellent reheated.
Makes 4 servings.

Title: Tiramisu - Olive Garden
Categories: Desserts, Cakes, Italian
Servings: 6
1 10-12" Sponge Cake 3" Tall
3 oz Strong Black Coffee Or:
Prepared Instant Espresso
3 oz Brandy, Rum Or Your Favorite
-Liqueur
1 1/2 lb Cream Cheese Or: Mascarpone*
1 1/2 c Superfine Or Powdered Sugar
Cocoa Powder, Unsweetened
* Cream cheese or mascarpone should be at room temperature. Mascarpone is
available at some Italian specialty food stores and some gourmet food
stores.
~-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cut across the middle of the sponge cake to form two disks, about 1"-1-1/2"
thick, each. Blend the coffee or espresso and liqueur together.
Sprinkle the bottom half of the cake with the coffee liqueur blend, enough
to flavor it strongly, but don't saturate the cake so much that it will
collapse. Mix the cream cheese or mascarpone with the sugar and beat the
cheese until the sugar is completely dissolved and the cheese is light and
spreadable. Spread the bottom half off the cake with half of the creamy
cheese, in a fairly thick layer. Set the second half of the cake on the
bottom half and repeat the process - sprinkle the coffee/liqueur blend and
spread with the remaining cream cheese. Put the cocoa powder into a wire
strainer and coat the top layer of cream cheese completely with cocoa.
Refrigerate the cake for at least two hours before cutting and serving.

10 oz Sour cream
5 oz Creme fraiche
2 Egg whites, extra large
3/4 c Very strong espresso *
6 oz Ladyfingers
Cocoa, unsweetened, for
-topping
Creme Fraiche
2 Parts heavy cream
1 Part sour cream
* To make triple strength expresso, pack coffee grounds in the filter of a
top of the stove espresso coffee pot. Coffee should be ground just a little
coarser than Turkish. Fill the bottom part of coffee pot to about 1/2"
below the valve with water. Allow only half of the water to come up very
slowly, using low heat. Coffee should be very, very dark and very, very
concentrated.
Beat the egg yolks and sugar until light. Add the cream cheese and beat
until almost smooth- there will be a few very small lumps. Beat in 5 Tbsp
rum. Fold in the sour cream and creme fraiche. Beat the egg whites until
they form stiff peaks and very gently fold them into the mixture.
Refrigerate at least 2 hours.
Mix the coffee with the remaining rum. Take a dish, where the ladyfingers
can be fitted in two layers. Cover the bottom of it with a layer of
ladyfingers, then sprinkle with half of the coffee. Gently fold through the
chilled cheese mixture, then spoon half of it onto the ladyfingers layer.
Cover with the remaining ladyfingers, sprinkle with the remaining coffee,
and top with the remaining cheese mixture. Sift some cocoa powder on the
top.
Refrigerate a few hours before serving. (It is quite good served
immediately, but standing improves the consistency.)
"A combination of cream cheese, sour cream, and creme fraiche is an
excellent substitute for mascarpone, the cheese used in Italy for this
dessert. Mascarpone is seldom available, often not very fresh, and always
very expensive." (My notes: I found Mascarpone at a deli/import shop for
$10.00 for a 500 g container- slightly over a pound.)

relatively hard to get and expensive. I have found the following
substitute works well. Be sure you use firm or stale lady fingers so it
doesn't get mushy.
Unsweetened cocoa for garnish, sifted.
Beat heavy cream with sugar until stiff. Set aside. Using same beater,
beat together ricotta, sugar and sour cream. Gently fold cream and cheese
mixes together; add rum. Line an 8 x l3 inch baking dish with lady fingers
that have been soaked with the coffee. Pour cream mix over the cake and
let sit at least 4 hours or overnight. When set, top with unsweetened
cocoa. This is from the Sacred Heart Church of Georgetown CT.

Servings: 2
6 Eggs, separated
1 1/4 c Granulated sugar
1 1/2 c Mascarpone cheese substitute
24 Lady fingers, split
- Lengthwise
3/4 c Hot water
2 ts Instant coffee granules
1/4 c + 2 T. brandy
1 2/3 c Whipping cream, whipped
4 oz Bittersweet chocolate,
- Coarsely grated
3 tb Cocoa powder
Garnish:
Extra whipping cream
Arrange half the lady fingers in the bottom of a 9 x 13 pan. Mix hot
water with coffee granules and 2 T. brandy. Pour 1/2 this mixture gently
over lady fingers. Set aside.
Make a zablione by beating the egg yolks and sugar in the top of a double
boiler until ivory colored. Add 1/4 C. brandy and whisk over simmering
water until the mixture starts to thicken - 8-10 minutes. Let cool a
little. Stir constantly while cooking.
Carefully mix zabliogne with mascarpone cheese. It will appear to be
quite liquid. Whip the egg whites until very stiff and fold into
zabliogne/mascarpone mixture.
Pour 1/2 zabliogne mixture over the lady fingers, which have been soaking
up the coffee/brandy mixture. Top with 1/2 whipped cream. Sprinkle with
1/2 of cocoa powder and 1/2 of grated chocolate.
Place balance of lady fingers on top of this to create a second layer. Pour
remaining coffee mixture carefully over these lady fingers. Then repeat
layers; zabliogne, whipped cream, cocoa powder and grated chocolate. Cover
with plastic wrap and refrigerate till set. It is best if left
over-night. When ready to serve, decorate with piped-on whipped cream
around the edges and more chocolate and/or cocoa powder if desired. Yield
10-12 servings, depending on the size you cut them. It is quite rich so
you might consider smaller sized pieces.
NOTE: You can substitute Marsala wine for the brandy if you prefer and
like the taste of Marsala.
MASCARPONE CHEESE SUBSTITUTE
Mascarpone cheese is sold in Italian delis, cheese shops and speciality
food markets. It is somewhat difficult to find and very expensive (i.e.
from $9.95 per pound). From January 1991 Southern Living Magazine comes
this substitute for mascarpone.
16 oz. cream cheese (2 8 oz. packages) 1/3 cup sour cream 2 ounces (1/4
cup) whipping cream
Blend three ingredients well, until it becomes somewhat light and fluffy.
This will make the equivalent of about 2 1/2 cups of cheese. Substitute in
equal amounts - 1 cup substitute for 1 cup mascarpone.

1 Egg white
4 oz Ladyfingers
Tiramisu ("pick me up") is a modern version of a dessert first created in
Siena, where it was called zuppa del Duca (the Duke's soup!). From there it
migrated to Florence, where it became very popular in the nineteenth
century among the many English people who came to live in the city at that
time. And so it was called zuppa inglese--English soup. Only recently,
the same dessert with some variation--chiefly the substitution of rich
mascarpone cheese for the original custard--has come to be called tiramisu.
Make a zablione by beating the egg yolks and sugar in the top of a double
boiler until ivory colored. Add 1/3 cup liquor and whisk over gently
simmering water until the mixture begins to thicken. Let cool.
Stir the coffee into the mascarpone. Whip the cream to soft peaks. Beat the
egg white until stiff. Fold the egg white into the zabaglione. Dip the
lady fingers into the remaining liquor and arrange in a single layer in the
bottom of a 9 in. bowl. Cover them with half the mascarpone, then half the
zabaglione and half the cream. Repeat the layers, finishing with the cream.
Refrigerate for several hours before serving.

Servings: 6
1 lg Onion, sliced or chopped
1 Half Green Pepper, sliced
2 c Chopped mushrooms [or less
-to taste]
1 Clove Garlic, minced
1/2 c Olive Oil [for sautee-ing
-the above]
2 c Newman's Own Italian

1 pk Vegetarian Hamburger, Tofu

4 c Bread crumbs [I use whatever

2 cn Italian Tomato Paste
2 c Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
1/2 c Parmesan cheese
1 Egg, room temperature
Pepper
Oregano
Salt
[Also Meat-less Loaf, Vegetarian MeatLoaf]
Created by James E. True
This is a good hodgepodge of ingredients, and is quite tasty. Really good
on Sandwiches!
Saute the chopped onion, garlic and olive oil in a saute skillet (at least
8"), until glassy. Add the Green pepper, mushroom and HALF the Newman's
Dressing, reduce heat and continue to saute until peppers are cooked (no
longer crunchy). Add seasoning to personal preference.
Preheat oven to 425*.
Meanwhile in a large bowl, combine the bread crumbs (I usually just take
stale bread and tear it up into small pieces), one can of the tomato paste,
cheeses and Tofu. Beat the egg separately, and add to Tofu-Bread mixture.
Combine until bread is thoroughly saturated. Add sauteed vegetables and
remaining Newman's Dressing.
The Meatloaf mixture should be cohesive enough to form into a loaf, but not
soggy. If the mixture is too soggy, add more bread. If the mixture is too
crumbly, add more dressing, or tomato paste. Tofu has a tendency to
separate, so the more bread and cheeses, the better.
Spray a loaf pan with a non-stick cooking spray, and spoon tofu mixture
into pan, spreading to an even level. Spoon remaining can of Tomato paste
over tofu mixture, and spread evenly over the top. Bake in 425 * oven
15-25 minutes, or until juices bubble up around the edges.
Delicious as an entree, even better sliced on sandwiches. Refrigerate
covered, or loaf can be frozen.

Peel skin from boiled potatoes and mash finely with a fork. Combine with
ground chick peas, add salt and a good grinding of white pepper. Blend
thoroughly and keep aside.
Put sliced onions in a pan with the water, cover and steam over medium heat
for 10 minutes, then remove cover and leave until moisture evaporates. Turn
into a bowl and cool.
Add allspice, cumin, pine nuts, and currants to the onion. Blend well,
then mix in tahina, and salt and pepper to taste.
Take 4 pieces of unbleached calico or similar cloth, each about 50 cm (20
inches) square and scald in boiling water. Cool a little, then wring out
well.
Open out a square of cloth on work surface and put a quarter of the chick
pea paste in the centre. Spread evenly with a spatula to a 20 cm (8 inch)
square and place a quarter of the filling in the centre, spreading it a
little.
Bring each corner of the paste over the filling by lifting up corners of
cloth. Paste should enclose filling in envelope fashion. Smooth joins to
seal well.
Make a single tie with each pair of diagonally opposite corners of cloth,
then tie a second time. Complete another 3 topigs in the same way.
Half fill a large pot with water, bring to the boil and add about 1
tablespoon salt. When briskly boiling, lower prepared topigs into pot and
return to the boil. Cover and boil steadily for 12-15 minutes or until
topigs float and feel firm to the touch.
Lift out immediately and place on a tray, draining off water in tray.
Untie and invert topigs onto platter. Leave until cool.
When ready to serve, pour a little olive oil over each topig and dust
lightly with cinnamon or paprika. Garnish platter with lemon wedges and
parsley. To serve, cut each topig in half, then slice in thick pieces.
Olive oil and lemon juice are added to individual taste.
NOTE: Ready-skinned chick peas are available at some Armenian and Greek
food stores. These look like split peas, but are larger and nut coloured.

Title: Tortellini Alla Panna

Servings: 6

Tortellini alla panna
Tortellini alla panna is a basic of Northern and Central Italian cuisine.
Tortellini (usually with a cured ham filling, but spinach or other fillings
can go well too. Just don't use those dry tortellini packets you find on
the shelf; choose fresh tortellini, or those you find in the refrigerated
section of the store)
Grated parmesan (enough to make cream thick) Salt Ham, cubed Butter or
Margarine
While you cook the tortellini, mix cream, Parmesan, and salt. Set aside.
When they are almost cooked, melt a little butter or margarine in a small
pan and saute the cubed ham until slighly red, stirring to keep it from
sticking. When tortellini are ready, drain, and mix with cream mixture.
Pour the contents of the ham pan over the tortellini, and mix. If desired,
add some pepper.
NOTES: 1. Add some salt to the water you use to cook the tortellini in. 2.
Freshly grated Parmesan would be preferred. 3. Some people like to add some
cooked green peas 4. The ratio of cream mixture, ham, and tortellini is up
to the cook: some like lots of sauce, some just a little...
This recipe is used also for tortelloni and ravioli...

1/4 c Almonds, slivered
1/4 c Brandy:*
3/4 c Sherry
1 1/2 c Milk
1 c Heavy cream;or whipping

5 Eggs
2 c Heavy cream;or whipping
-whipped
8 Citron slices;*
6 Strawberries; -OR-
6 Crystallized violets
* Anne's note; I would use 1 cup sherry and not bother with the brandy *
Citron is larger than a lemon. The fruit is not eaten but the rind is used
as a decoration. Can be found in speciality stores, omit if you can't find
it
"Trifle, a favorite Victorian recipe, is the perfect party recipe. Make it
well ahead of time of time, so that the sherry and brandy have enough time
to seep into the cake. The charm of Trifle is its different textures. Since
these also look interesting , Trifle should be served in a glass bowl so
that the effect can be seen to full advantage. As an alternative serve it
in individual glass dishes."
Cut the cake into very thick slices and spread each piece with a generous
amount of raspberry jam. Arrange the slices on the bottom of a large glass
bowl. If you prefer to use individual dishes, divide the cake equally among
the dishes. Sprinkle the almonds over the cake slices, pour on the brandy
and sherry and allow it it to soak for about 40 minutes (but not longer as
the cake will becomes soggy. *Anne's note, I like it soggy, and left the
cake to soak overnight.) Bring the milk and cream with vanilla pod to a
boil in a double boiler. Remove from heat and discard the vanilla pod.
Mix the cornstarch with the sugar and eggs and gradually pour in the milk
and cream. Transfer the mixture back to the double boiler and stir until
the custard becomes thick and creamy; do not allow to boil.
Let the custard cool a little and then pour it over the cake. Let the
cake set and when it fully cooled, spread any remaining jam on top, then
cover with whipped cream.
Decorate the trifle with citron slices and crystallized violets or
strawberry slices. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

ground Cinnamon and 1/4 Teaspoon ground Cloves. 2. Melt Butter. 3. Cut
Fillo in half so that each sheet fits the bottom of the Baking Pan. 4.
Generously butter the bottom and sides of the baking pan and place the
Fillo, one sheet ata a time, in the baking pan. Generously spread butter on
each sheet of fillo as it is placed in the pan. Every 6 to 8 sheets of
Fillo sp[read a layer of walnut mix. Continue layering Fillo sheets and
walnuts until Fillo is complete. Pour any remaining butter over top of the
Baklava. The secret to good flaky Baklava is to have each sheet of Fillo
well buttered so that the sheets do not stick together. 5. With a sharp
knife, cut the Baklava diagonally to form diamond shaped pieces. 6. Preheat
oven to 350 degrees and bake the Baklava for 40 to 45 minutes or until
golden brown on top. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely. 7.
SYRUP Mix one cup water, two cups sugar, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves and
either 3/4 teaspoons Cinnamon or the Cinnamon stick in a sauce pan and
bring to a bnoil. Simmer for 20 minutes. 8. Pour the boiling syrup over
the cool Baklava and allow to cool completely again. When cool serve
individual pieces with strong (Turkish) sweet coffee and dried apricots for
an exquisite dessert.

Makes 1 1/2 pounds Version #1
Have everything ready before you turn on the heat. (She means it!)
Put into a very heavy 2-quart saucepan:
Put both pans on high heat. Stir alternately 3 to 5 minutes or until
foaming has ceased in the pectin pot and boiling is active in the other.
Then, still stirring the corn syrup mixture, gradually and steadily pour
the pectin mixture into it. Continue stirring and boiling, and add during
the next minute:
1/4 cup any jelly: apple, currant, apricot, raspberry, peach or quince
Remove the mixture from heat and stir in: 1 Tbs lemon juice (1 tsp lemon
rind) (1/2 cup broken pistachio or other nutmeats)
Pour into 8 x 8 inch pan. Let stand at room temp about 3 hours. When
mixture is very firm, sprinkle with:
Confectioner's sugar
Cut into shapes or squares by pressing down with a buttered or sugared
knife. Release the candies onto a sugared tray so all sides become coated.
If you plan packing these candies, let them stand sugared 12 hours or more
on a rack.
Redust on all sides and pack, then store tightly covered. Should you want
to dip them in chocolate, remove excess sugar first.

Title: Tuscan Bread
Categories: Breads, Italian
Servings: 1
1 oz Fresh yeast; -=OR=-
2 pk -Instant dry yeast granules
1 1/4 c Warm water (125F)
2 1/4 c Unbleached white flour
1/4 c Whole wheat flour
IN A LARGE BOWL, DISSOLVE the yeast in the water. Mix the 2 flours and stir
them in to make a soft dough. Knead 10 minutes by hand, or 4 minutes in a
heavy duty mixer with a dough hook. Oil a clean bowl and set the dough in
it, cover tightly with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled in bulk. (In
the traditional warm place, this will take about 2 hours. However, a cooler
temperature will do as long as the dough has enough time to rise, including
overnight in the refrigerator.) If the dough is ready sooner than it is
needed, punch it down and refrigerate it or let it rise slowly again at
room temperature until ready to use. Rub 2 to 3 tablespoons flour into a
lintless dish towel and set the towel on a baking sheet. When the dough has
completed its rising, punch it down, turn it out onto a floured work
surface, and flatten it into an oblong about 8 inches wide, 10 inches long,
and 1/4-inch thick. It will still be very soft, but try to use a minimum of
additional flour in handling it. Roll the dough tight, jelly-roll fashion,
into a cylindrical shape. Flatten this to about 1-inch thick and roll it
again. (This activates the web of gluten that will keep the loaf from
flattening out in the oven.) FOR A ROUND LOAF, tuck both ends of the
cylinder under to meet in the center, pinching to seal them. Roll the dough
around the work surface under your hands, to shape it into a smooth ball
about 5 inches in diameter. FOR AN OBLONG LOAF, roll the dough under your
hands into a fat cigar shape, extending it to about 10 inches in length.
Set the loaf on the floured towel and fold the ends of the towel loosely
around it. Put the covered loaf, on its baking sheet, in a warm place to
rise for 1 hour. Preheat an oven lined with baking tiles to 400F. Have a
water-filled sprayer handy. Slide your hand under the towel, pick up the
loaf, and gently deposit it upside down on the tiles. Spray water into the
oven before closing the door, and spray twice more at 2-minute intervals.
Bake for 50 minutes or until golden brown. The bread should have a hollow
sound when you knock on its bottom.

Title: Tyropita Trifti Thrakis (Thracian Style Cheese Squares)
Categories: Greek, Appetizers, Breads
Servings: 100
Karen Mintzias
1/2 c Butter
1/2 c Light olive oil
1/3 c Milk plus;--->
2 tb Milk
1 1/2 ts Baking powder
1/2 ts Salt
-less, if cheese is salty
1 c Grated Greek cheeses
2 c All-purpose flour (or more)
Delicious! And simple to make in a large batch for appetizers. As made in
Thrace, the soft-dough may be spread into a sheet and cut in squares before
baking, or each shaped individually into daintly "bastounakia" (little
canes or sticks). The word "trifti" identifies the texture - crisp and
crumbly in the mouth. (They are also called "kourou" [cut small].) If
making the individual "little canes," they should be half a (dainty) finger
wide and a finger in length. The secret of the crispness is in adding only
enough flour to make a soft dough.
To make about 100 1-inch squares:
The mixing of the dough may be begun with an electric mixer, but should be
finished by hand. Beat the butter until fluffy, then lower the speed and
add the olive oil. Continue beating, and when fluffy beat in the milk,
baking powder, salt, if necessary, and cheese. Begin adding flour, but
after 1 cup stop beating with the mixer and beat in the remaining flour by
hand, adding only enough to make dough soft enough to roll into strips.
Knead a few minutes. Spread or roll on buttered sheet (jelly roll tray,
cookie sheet, or any flat pan) to a thickness of half-finger's width and
cut into squares of desired size (the smaller the better, since they are
rich). Bake in a moderate oven (350 degrees) for 20 to 25 minutes, moving
to the top shelf for the last minutes to achieve a golden chestnut color.
(If making the "little canes," the baking time will be 10 to 12 minutes.)
Remove when done and cook on a rack.
Note: Stored in covered tins, these will keep for several weeks.

Title: Tyropites
Categories: Greek, Appetizers, Cheese/eggs
Servings: 60
Karen Mintzias
1/2 lb Ricotta or cream cheese
1/2 lb Feta cheese; crumbled
2 Eggs; lightly beaten
1 tb All-purpose flour
1 pn Salt (optional)
1/2 ts Grated nutmeg (or more)
1 c Butter; melted
3 tb Butter; melted
1 lb Commercial filo sheets
In a bowl combine the cheeses, eggs, flour, salt (unless the feta is very
salty) nutmeg, and 3 tablespoons butter. Cover the bowl and chill several
hours or overnight, removing from the refrigerator an hour before using.
Cut the filo into thirds (3 x 11 inches). Pile up the filo, covering it
with waxed paper and a damp towel. Take out one sheet at a time and keep
the rest covered. Butter the filo, one sheet at a time, using a pastry
brush and the 1 cup melted butter. Place 1 teaspoon of the filling 1 inch
from the end nearest you. Fold the filo back over the filling so the
bottom edge meets the left edge, forming a right angle. Continue folding
back at right angles to make the triangular shape. Bake in a moderate oven
(350 degrees) for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden and crisp, turning once.
Serve hot.
Note: Tyropites may be stacked upright in cardboard boxes and frozen. When
ready to bake, separate while still frozen, spread on baking sheets, and
bake as directed above, allowing an additional 10 minutes baking time.

Title: Tzimmes and a Gahtzah Tzimmes
Categories: Beef, Jewish

2 lb Carrots
1/2 ts Salt

EINBREN or THICKENING:
2 tb Flour
2 tb Schmaltz (rendered chicken

1 c Carrot stock
From "Love and Knishes".
"Tzimmes" is a word impossible to translate. Ask anyone, "What is a
tzimmes?" and you get the answer, "You don't know what a tzimmes is?" This
is not very satisfactory as you can see.
The closest I have come to an answer is that a tzimmes is a mishmash. Now a
mishmash is a hodgepodge and a hodgepodge is...not a tzimmes, believe
me...it's a big thing in anyone's life. A Gahntze Tsimmes is really
somethig to boast about--a big production! For instance, from a good
tzimmes, a cook is entitled to make a gahntze tzimmes. (Some people think
of a tzimmes as a dessert). In my opinion is a one dish meal usually served
as the fourth course in a six-course dinner. A Tzimmes can be made from
almost any ingredient. From my wall-to-wall carpeting I could make a
tzimmes, and from my new mink coat I am justified in making a gahntze
tzimmes.
Of course, there are some people who think not. You will find people who
will begrudge you anything. They will say, "She's got a mink coat so she's
making from it a gahntze tsimmes. I knew her when she only had a Persian
lamb."
From all these things you can make a tzimmes, but most tzimmeses are made
from carrots.
Carrot Tzimmes
Simmer brisket in water to cover till almost tender (about 1 1/2 hours). By
this time the water will have boiled down to about half the original
amount. Peel carrots and slice in half-inch rounds. Add carrots, salt and
sugar to meat. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer till carrots are
very tender (about 45 minutes). Brown flour in a very small skillet,
stirring constantly to prevent burning. When flour is very light brown,
remove from burner. Add schmaltz and stir till smooth. Gradually stir in
carrot stock to make a smooth paste. Add this paste to the carrots,
stirring it carefully. Continue to simmer till stock has thickened (10 to
15 minutes.

3 Potato, new
2 Carrot, thin; peeled
1 Egg white
1 Eggshell; crushed
1 lb Salmon fillet, skinned
5 tb Scallion; chopped
Lemon slices, thin
Approx. Cook Time: 2:00 In a large
stock pot, place the water, smelts, onion, quartered carrot, leek, celery,
parsnip, bouquet garni, and salt and pepper, and bring to a boil over high
heat, periodically skimming off the foam as it rises to the top. Cover the
pot, reduce the heat, and simmer for 35 minutes. Strain the stock through a
fine sieve into a clean pot, pressing the solids with the back of a spoon
to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids.
Return the stock to the heat and add the salmon trimmings, wine, potatoes,
and thin carrots. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer,
covered, until the vegetables are tender, about 25 minutes. Strain the
stock into a clean pot, discarding all the solids except the potatoes and
all the carrots. Rinse the potatoes and carrots being careful not to mash
them, and set aside.
Return the stock to low heat and simmer for several minutes. Add the egg
white and shell and increase the heat to medium high. Bring to a boil,
beating constantly, with a wire whisk. When the stock boils, the egg white
will start rising to the surface. At this point, turn off the heat and let
stand for five minutes. Line a colander with a double layer of dampened
cheesecloth and strain the stock into a clean pot.
Add the fish fillets to the stock and poach over medium low heat until
cooked through; five minutes. Taste and adjust the seasonings. Halve the
reserved potatoes and cut into wedges. Cut the carrots into fine dice.
Divide the fish fillets among six soup bowls. Add a few potato wedges and
diced carrots to each bowl. Ladle the stock into the bowls, sprinkle with
scallions, and garnish with lemon slices.

1 cn Whole tomatos, drained and
Coarsely crushed
2 c Cloves, peeled and minced
3 ts Dried oregano,OR
5 Fresh basil leaves,
Shredded
4 tb Freshly grated Parmesan
Cheese
Pour the warm water into a large mixing bowl and dissolve the yeast with a
fork. Add 1 cup of flour, all of the cornmeal, salt, and, and vegetable
oil. Mix well with a spoon. Continue stirring in the rest of the flour 1/2
cup at a time, until the dough comes away from the sides of the bowl. Flour
your hands and the work surface and kneed the ball of dough until it is no
longer sticky.
Let the dough rise in an oiled bowl, sealed with plastic wrap, for 45 to 60
minutes in a warm place, until it is doubled in bulk. Punch it down and
kneed it briefly. Press it into an oiled 15-inch deep dish pizza pan, until
it comes 2 inches up the sides and is even on the bottom of the pan. Let
the dough rise 15-20 minutes before filling.
Preheat the oven to 500 degrees.
While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. Cook the crumbled sausage
until it is no longer pink, drain it of it's excess fat. Drain and chop the
tomatos.
When the dough has finished its second rising, lay the cheese over the
dough shell. Then distribute the sausage and garlic over the cheese. Top
with the tomatos. Sprinkle on the seasonings and Parmesan cheese.
Bake for 15 minutes at 500 degrees. Then lower the temperature to 400
degrees and bake for 25 to 35 minutes longer. Lift up a section of the
crust from time to time with a spatula to check on its color. The crust
will be golden brown when done. Serve immediately.

Title: Vasilopita (New Year Bread)
Categories: Greek, Breads
Servings: 1
Karen Mintzias
1 pk Active dry yeast
3/4 c Milk; lukewarm
3 Eggs; beaten
1 1/2 ts Grated orange rind
3/4 c Caster sugar
4 1/2 c Plain flour
1/4 ts Salt
1/2 ts Ground cinnamon
1/4 ts Ground masticha
1/2 c Butter; melted
1 Egg; for glazing
Blanched split almonds
New Year Bread is traditionally cut at midnight on New Year's Eve. After
baking, a coin is inserted through a slit in the base. The person who
finds the coin will have luck in the New Year. Long ago the coin used to
be a gold one, then later a silver coin was used. These could be
incorporated into the dough before baking. Nowadays because of the nickel
content of coins it is undesirable to bake a coin in the cake.
Dissolve yeast in 1/4 cup of the milk. Add remainder of milk, eggs, orange
rind and sugar. Sift 3 cups flour, salt and spice into a warm bowl and
make a well in the centre. Pour in yeast mixture and stir to blend in
flour, gradually adding warm melted butter. Mix dough with hands until it
comes away from sides. Turn on to a floured surface and knead until smooth
and elastic, adding remaining flour as required. Knead for 10 minutes.
Place ball of dough in a clean bowl brushed with melted butter. Turn dough
over to coat top with butter and cover bowl with a cloth or plastic wrap.
Leav to prove (rise) in a warm place until doubled in bulk. Punch down and
turn on to lightly floured surface. Knead lightly and shape into a round
loaf. Place on a large greased baking sheet or in a greased 25 cm (10
inch) deep cake tin. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled -
about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
Glaze with well-beaten egg and arrange blanched almonds in numbers to
denote the New Year, pressing in lightly. Bake in a moderately hot oven
for 45 minutes until golden brown and cooked when tested. If bread browns
too quickly place a piece of greased brown paper on top. Cool on a wire
rack.

Karen Mintzias
2 tb Olive oil
1 1/2 lb Lean veal; in 1-1/2" cubes
2 Garlic cloves
Salt & freshly ground pepper
1/4 c Red wine vinegar
2 tb Dry red wine
3 Peeled tomatoes; chopped
1 lg Bay leaf
1 tb White or brown sugar
1 1/2 lb Small white onions; peeled
1/4 c Chopped fresh parsley
2 tb Butter; cut into bits
1 Cinnamon stick
3 Whole cloves
In a baking-serving casserole, heat the oil, then add the veal and saute on
all sides. Add the garlic and season with salt and pepper. Stir with a
wooden spoon, then add the vinegar, wine, tomatoes, bay leaf, sugar, and
enough water to cover the veal. Arrange the onions over the meat, sprinkle
the parsley and butter bits over the top, and slip the spices in between
the meat and the onions. Shake the casserole a few times, then cover with
an inverted plate to keep in place and cover tightly with a lid (using a
little flour-water paste around the inside of the lid to seal if you wish).
Bake in a slow oven (300 F) for 2 to 2-1/2 hours or over minimum heat on a
burner, until the veal and onions are tender. Remove from the heat and
serve warm.
Note: After peeling the onions, pierce the root end of each onion with the
tip of a small, sharp knife, then slash again at a right angle to make a
cross. This will keep the onion whole and intact during the cooking
process.

4 Garlic Cloves
1/4 lb Pancetta Or Unsmoked Bacon

There are as many versions of vegetable soup in Italy as there there are
cooks. Pancetta - Pancetta is the same cut of pork as bacon. It is cured
with salt and is not smoked. It comes rolled up like a large salami.
Widely used in Italian cooking, especially in Emilia-Romagna, it is vital
to many dishes. If available, buy a large quantity. Cut into several
pieces and freeze it. You can substitute domestic bacon for pancetta. It
must be blanched in boiling water for two three minutes to reduce the smoky
flavour. Fresh side pork can also be used. I'll be posting several recipes
over the next while that call for pancetta, so if you can find some, it
won't go to waste. Prepare chicken broth (see my previously posted recipe).
Heat oil in a large saucepan. Add parsley and garlic. Saute over medium
heat. Before garlic changes colour, add pancetta. Saute until lightly
browned. Stir in cabbage. Cover and cook 1 to 2 minutes. Add remaining
vegetables to saucepan. Cover and cook about 5 minutes. Add broth and
water, if using, and prosciutto rind or ham shank. Cover and reduce heat.
Simmer 40 to 50 minutes. Remove half the vegetables with a slotted spoon.
Place in a blender or food processor and process until smooth. Return to
saucepan. Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot with Parmesan cheese
sprinkled over top. Makes 8 to 10 servings. VARIATION: Toast about 20
thick slices of Italian bread. Place 2 slices in each soup bowl and
sprinkle generously with Parmesan cheese. Ladle soup into bowls. Serve with
additional Parmesan cheese.

Grated rind of 1/2 an orange
1/2 c Finely chopped walnuts or
-almonds
3 tb Sugar
An old Egyptian dream book states that "to dream of looking at apples
betokens a wedding. To dream of eating apples is a sign of mourning unless
they are very sweet, then it is a sign of a great deal of prosperity in the
marriage state". Apples have travelled from the Old World to the New, but
for some reason, we haven't created as many interesting desserts with them
as the Europeans. We seem to limit ourselves to pies, crunchy puddings,
applesauce and jelly. This is one new way to try apples.
When possible, use the large Rome Beauty apples
Core apples and peel skin about 1/3 of the way down from the stem end.
Pierce the rest of the skin all over with a fork to lessen wrinkling and
splitting. Place apples in a large, deep pan that has a good cover and add
water to a depth of 1/4 inch. Mix jam with orange rind and nuts,fill the
centre of each apple, then sprinkle sugar over top. Bring water in pan to
a boil, then cover, lower heat and simmer 20-30 minutes,depending on size
of apples. Baste 2-3 times with pan juices. To glaze apples, uncover when
cooled, sprinkle top with an additional tbsp of sugar and place under
broiler 3 inches from heat until lightly browned. Watch closely, as they
brown very quickly. Serve warm, tepid or cold. Serves 6.

Title: Welsh Cakes
Categories: Breads, Welsh
Servings: 15
1 lb Self-raising flour
2 oz Butter
4 oz Sugar
4 oz Sultanas and raisins
2 Eggs
1/3 pt Water
On sale in every Welsh bakery, these are one of the great delights of
teatime. The are easy to make. The Welsh use a flat iron "planc" (a
griddle) to bake the cakes, which are cooked on top heat like Scotch
pancakes. A heavy frying pan will do fine if you don't have a griddle.
Makes 15-18 cakes.
Rub the fat into the flour and add the fruit and sugar. Mix the water with
the eggs and use to make a soft dough just a little firmer than that for
the scones. Tip on to a well-floured board and roll out to a thickness of
1/2-inch. Cut out circles with a 2-1/2-inch shell-edged cutter.
Heat a planc or heavy iron frying pan - get the heat up into it gently and
thoroughly, and do not let it overheat. If the pan is not well-seasoned or
non-stick, slick it with a little butter or vegetable oil.
Bake the cakes on the pan, turning them once, until well-risen and lightly
browned. They will take about 5 minutes each side. Eat hot or cold, with
or without salty butter, but always with a cup of piping-hot tea.

2 tb Oil
4 md Onions, sliced
1 Clove garlic, minced
In a large, heavy kettle, heat the 3 T oil and add the beef cubes. While

browned, add the onions, garlic, tomato paste, water (and red pepper).
Simmer until meat is tender.
A half hour before serving, heat the peanut butter and oil in a small
saucepan. Stir over medium heat 5 minutes. Add the peanut-butter mixture
slowly to the beef stew and simmer over low heat for 20 minutes. Serve over
rice.
Serves 8.
Variations: Use chicken or turkey pieces instead of beef.
You may use leftover cooked meat instead of the beef by sauteing the onion
and garlic (and red pepper) first, then adding the meat with the tomato
paste and water.
A Ghanaian friend suggested the following variation: Saute the vegetables
separately, puree together and add to the beef with the tomato paste and
water, and use cream-style peanut butter instead of the chunky.

4 oz Veal slices (per person),
-milk fed, pink in color,
1/4 Inch thick
Olive oil
Lard
Salt
Flour
Beaten eggs (1 egg per two

Salt each slice. Dip first into a soup plate containing flour, and shake
off excess; next into a soup plate of beaten egg; finally into a soup plate
containing dried bread crumbs, pressing crumbs well in with the palm of
your hand, then shaking off excess. Fry in deep fat, half olive oil, half
melted lard, so hot that it smokes, for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or
until heat is right when the breading ripples golden brown. Schnitzel is
done and tender when a fork goes right through the meat. Serve garnished
with lemon wedges and potatoes or salad as a side dish.

Servings: 2
3 tb Unsalted butter
4 oz Shiitake mushrooms;
- (or other wild mushrooms),
- stems removed, sliced
4 oz White mushrooms
- stems removed, sliced
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tb Unsalted butter
1 tb Oil
1/3 c Finely minced onion

1/2 c Dry white wine or broth
5 c Broth
1/4 c Mascarpone cheese
-=OR=- Whipping cream
-(or substitute skim milk)
1/4 c Grated Parmesan cheese
1 tb Chopped parsley
You can substitute dried wild mushrooms for the shiitake. Just soak them
for 15-to-20 minutes beforehand (and be sure to add the strained soaking
liquid to the stock).
HEAT BUTTER in small skillet over moderate heat. When it begins to foam,
add mushrooms and cook for 3-to-5 minutes, until soft. Add salt and pepper
to taste. Turn off heat and set aside. Bring the broth to a steady simmer
in a saucepan on top of the stove. Heat butter and oil in heavy 4-quart
casserole over moderate heat. Add onion, saute for 1-to-2 minutes, until it
begins to soften, being careful not to brown. Add rice to butter-oil-onion
mixture. Using a wooden spoon, stir 1 minute, making sure all grains are
well coated. Add wine and stir until completely absorbed. Add simmering
broth, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring frequently. Wait until each addition is
almost completely absorbed (approximately 2 minutes) before adding next 1/2
cup, reserving 1/4 cup to add at the end. Stir often. After approximately
18 minutes (rice should be tender and firm), add 1/4 cup broth, mushrooms,
Mascarpone and Parmesan cheeses and stir vigorously so cheeses melt.
Sprinkle with parsley. Serve immediately.

Categories: Greek, Main dish
Servings: 6
Karen Mintzias
1 lg Onion; finely chopped
1 tb Olive oil
1 kg Ground beef or lamb
1/3 c Short grain rice
1 Tomato; peeled and chopped
2 tb Chopped parsley
1 ts Chopped dill or mint
1/8 ts Ground cinnamon
Freshly ground black pepper
24 Cabbage leaves
Salted water
1 tb Butter
2 c Hot stock or water
Salt
1 tb Cornflour
2 Eggs; separated
1 Lemon (juice only)
Chopped dill or parsley
Serves: 6 Cooking time: 1 1/2 hours
Gently fry onion in oil until soft. Mix into meat with rice, tomato, herbs
and cinnamon, seasoning to taste with salt and pepper. Divide into 24
portions.
Blanch cabbage leaves in boiling, salted water for 5 minutes until
softened. Drain and cut out thick centre of larger leaves (very large
leaves may be cut in half). Place one portion of stuffing on base of leaf,
turn up base, fold in sides and wrap firmly into a neat roll. Repeat with
remaining ingredients.
Place rolls close together, seam sides down, in a deep pan lined with
trimmings from cabbage leaves. Add stock or water, butter, salt and pepper
to taste. Invert a heavy plate on top of rolls and cover pan tightly.
Simmer gently for 1 1/2 hours.
When cooked, drain off stock carefully into a small saucepan. Reduce to 1
1 1/2 cups over heat and thicken with cornflour mixed to a paste with a
little cold water. Let it boil 1 minute.
Beat egg whites in a bowl until stiff, add yolks and beat thoroughly.
Gradually beat in lemon juice, then boiling stock. Return sauce to small
pan, place over low heat and stir constantly until egg is cooked - do not
boil.
Arrange rolls on a heated serving dish and spoon some of the sauce over
them. Garnish with chopped dill or parsley and serve remaining sauce
separately. Serve with mashed potatoes.
Note: Grape vine leaves may be used instead of cabbage - about 40 will be
required since they take less filling.

Oven temperature: 180°C (350°F) Cooking time: 2 hours
Have meat retailer cut chops about 4 cm (1-1/4 inches) thick. Alternatively
purchace a leg of lamb and have it cut into 6 pieces.
Place lamb in a baking dish and spread or pour oil or butter on top. Bake
in a moderate oven for 20 minutes.
Add onion to dish and return to oven for further 10 minutes. Add tomato
puree, chopped tomatoes, cloves, cinnamon bark and salt and pepper to
taste. Baste meat with liquid and cook for futher hour until meat is
tender, adding a little of the water or stock if necessary.
When meat is cooked add water or stock and stir in pasta. Cook for futhre
20 minutes, stirring occasionally, and adding a little more liquid if
mixture looks dry. When pasta is tender, sprinkle cheese over pasta and
return to oven for 5 minutes. Serve immediately.
NOTE: This is a popular restaurant dish in Greece, Cyprus and Egypt. The
pieces of meat are placed in individual casserole dishes after the initial
cooking, and the sauce, pasta and water or stock added to each dish, then
cooking completed. In the home I suggest dividing the meat and pasta ater
it is cooked and just before adding the cheese. Return to oven for cheese
to melt.

Approx. Cook Time: 2:30 In a large

salt, and two tablespoons of the butter and mix well with a wooden spoon.
Stir in three cups of the flour, one cup at a time, stirring well after
each addition. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead until
smooth and elastic, about eight minutes, adding enough of the remaining
flour to prevent sticking. Shape the dough into a ball. Place in a buttered
bowl and turn to coat. Cover with a tea towel and let rise in a warm,
draft-free place until doubled in bulk, about 1 1/2 hours. Punch the dough
down and knead briefly. Divide into sixteen parts and shape each into a
ball. On a floured surface with a floured rolling pin, roll out one ball to
a round about 1/16" thick. Brush generously with melted butter and
sprinkle all over with cilantro. Fold in the edges of the round so they
meet in the center and roll into a smooth bun between the palms of your
hands. Repeat with the remaining balls of dough.
Place the buns on a buttered baking sheet, brush lightly with melted
butter, and let them rise, covered, for about 20 minutes. In a bamboo or
metal steamer set over simmering water, steam as many buns as will fit
without touching, partially covered, until cooked through, about 20
minutes. Steam the rest of the buns. Serve slightly warm.

1 Lemon (or more), juice only
In a large bowl, combine the meat, grated onion, garlic, rice, 3

slightly beaten. Knead for a few minutes, then shape into walnut- sized
barrels and set aside.
In a soup pot, bring the water or stock to boil with the chopped onion,
celery and carrot, and salt and pepper to taste. Lower the heat and add the
meat-rice barrels. Simmer, covered, for 30 minutes, then remove from the
heat.
To prepare avgolemono, beat the two remaining eggs for 2 minutes.
Continuing to beat, gradually add the lemon juice. Then add 1 cup of the
hot broth by droplets, beating steadily, until all has been added. Add to
the soup and heat, being careful not to let it boil. Serve hot, garnished
with parsley.
Note: This soup is frequently made without the additional vegetables added

Title: Zabaione Marsala
Categories: Italian, Desserts
Servings: 4
4 Egg yolks
1/3 c Sugar
1/2 c Sweet Sicilian Marsala
- such as Florio or
- Pellegrino
Cinnamon
Try substituting other wines (or liqueurs) for the Marsala; a combination
of strong coffee and brandy also makes a flavorful, though not traditional,
Zabaione.
BRING A QUART OF WATER to a simmer in a small saucepan. Place the egg yolks
in a heat-proof bowl and whisk by hand until liquid. Whisk in the sugar in
a stream, then the Marsala. Regulate the heat under the pan so that the
water simmers gently, then place the bowl over the pan so that the bottom
of the bowl is above the surface of the water. Whisk vigorously; the
Zabaione will begin to absorb air fairly quickly. Continue whisking for a
total of 4 minutes, until the Zabaione is very aerated and thickened. Pour
into stemmed glasses, dust with a dash of cinnamon and serve immediately.
Though not traditional, you may wish to serve the Zabaione cool: After
whisking until thickened, continue whisking by hand, with a hand mixer set
at medium speed, or in a heavy-duty mixer fitted with the whip, until the
Zabaione is cool.

PUT BUTTER AND SALT into a saucepan with 1 cup water. Boil until butter
dissolves. Off heat, dump in flour all at once and stir rapidly to mix.
Return pan to medium-high heat and cook, still stirring rapidly, until
mixture is smooth and begins to coat bottom and sides of pan. Remove pan
from heat and, one at a time, add eggs and extra yolk, stirring briskly
until each addition is absorbed. Let mixture cool to room temperature. Put
confectioners' sugar into a brown paper bag. Heat deep-frying oil to 375F.
Using 2 teaspoons, drop in nuggets of dough about the size of a small
walnut. Fry a few at a time for 5-to-6 minutes each. As they cook, the
zeppoli will rise to the surface, turn over when their bottom halves are
golden brown, and finally rupture slightly and puff further as the interior
dough expands. Remove them from the oil when golden brown, firm, and hollow
inside. (Check one from the first batch, and if the interior is at all
soggy, cook the rest longer.) Drain zeppoli briefly on paper towels, then
toss in the bag with confectioners' sugar. Serve at once.

Title: Zucchini Blossoms, Cretan Style
Categories: Greek, Appetizers, Vegetables
Servings: 6
Karen Mintzias
30 Zucchini blossoms
3 tb Olive oil
4 Scallions, minced
1 Garlic clove; minced
1/3 c Raw long grain rice
1/2 c Canned tomatoes; drained
3 tb Chopped parsley
3 tb Chopped fresh mint or dill
Salt & freshly ground pepper
1/2 ts Granulated sugar
Soak the stems in cold water overnight, without soaking the blossoms. The
following day, wash and drain on a towel. Cut off and discard the stems
without breaking the blossoms, and set the blossoms aside while you make
the filling. Heat the oil and saute' the scallions until soft. Add the
garlic and rice and cook over moderate heat for 2 minutes stirring
constantly with a wooden spoon. Stir in the tomatoes, herbs, and enough
water to cover the rice, then season with salt and pepper and the sugar.
Simmer for 5 minutes, and remove from the heat. Using a teaspoon, stuff
each blossom carefully, holding it in the palm of one hand, then close it
and lay it on its side in a buttered flameproof casserole large enough to
accomodate all the blossoms. Continue until all are filled. Pour 1 cup of
warm water into the casserole. Invert a plate over the flowers, then cover
the casserole and simmer over lowest heat about 1-1/2 hours. Check every
30 minutes to see if more water is needed; if so, add warm water (it should
all be absorbed when cooked). Serve with poultry, meat or fish dishes, or
as a delightful first course. From: "The Food of Greece" by Vilma

Servings: 8
3 Heads Garlic, Fresh
1/4 c Olive Oil
1 md Onion, Cut up up
2 Celery Ribs, Cut Up
1 c White Wine, Dry
1/4 c All-Purpose Flour
1 ga Chicken Stock
1 md Potato, Peeled And Cut Up
1 c Whipping Cream

- Chopped
5 Sprigs Thyme Leaves, Fresh
2 ts Salt
ts White Pepper
1/2 ts Tabasco
1 ts Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 Garlic Cloves, Sliced Very
- Thin, For Garnish
1. Cut two of the garlic heads in half across and remove the papery outer
skin. Put these cut side down on a very hot surface - a griddle or black
iron skillet - until they're black. Peel all the garlic completely. 2.
Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan and saute the onions, celery, and
the garlic until lightly browned at the edges. Add the wine and bring to a
boil. 3. Sprinkle in the flour and stir the pot thoroughly, but don't let
it brown. Add the chicken stock, 1/2 gallon water, and the potato. Whisk
about the pot well and bring to a boil. Reduce to a rapid simmer and cook
for about an hour and 15 minutes. 4. Strain out the solids from the soup,
and puree them in a blender or food processor, along with enough broth to
ease things along. Return the puree to the soup and restore the boil. Add
the whipping cream, basil, thyme, salt, pepper and Tabasco. 5. Heat the
extra virgin olive oil in a skillet very hot. In it toast the slivers of
garlic until brown around the outside. 6 Ladle the soup into bowls and
garnish with roasted garlic slivers. Float a toasted, garlic-buttered slice
of French bread on top. Serves eight to twelve. Suggested wine: Marinasco
Chef Andrea Apuzzo writes of this recipe in his book "La Cucina di
Andrea's", "Garlic wears many hats. Most people think of it in its
aggressive, green, aromatic, sharp form. But when garlic is cooked slowly
for a long time, it takes on a sweet nuttiness that is every bit as
interesting as its more raw flavors. The sweet side of garlic is
exemplified by this soup." Andrea's Restaurant 3100 Nineteenth Street

Title: Zuppa Di Vongole - Clam Soup
Categories: Soups, Fish, Italian
Servings: 4
36 Littleneck clams in shells
1/2 c Olive oil
2 tb Finely chopped parsley
2/3 c Dry white wine
1 1/2 tb Finely chopped shallots
2 ts Finely chopped garlic
1/4 ts Cornstarch dissolved in:
4 Slices Italian bread
1. Set clams in large basin with cold water. Let stand 5 min. then drain
and refill basin with clean water. Scrub clams vigorously with a coarse,
stiff brush. When all are scrubbed, drain and refill basin with clean
water. Repeat these steps for 20 - 30 min until water in basin remains
clean. Transfer cleaned clams to a bowl. 2. Choose a heavy casserole large
enough to contain the clams later. (Remember that they more than double in
volume when open.) Over med. heat saute the shallots in olive oil until
translucent. Add the garlic. When it has colored lightly add the parsley
and stir two or three times. Add cornstarch and wine, turn the heat to
high, and cook briskly for 2 min. 3. Drop in the clams. Stir, basting them
lightly, and cover tightly. Continue cooking over high heat and stir the
clams from time to time so that they all cook evenly. When their shells
open, they will release their juices, and they will be done. 4. Place a
slice of bread in each individual soup plate. Ladle the clams and sauce
over the bread, taking care not to scoop up the liquid from the bottom of
the pot because it probably contains sand.
Other notes: In Italy the pot comes to the table and the clams are served
a few at a time so that they don't get cold.
