Servings: 1
6 md Potatoes 1 1/2 ts Salt
1 Egg yolk 1/2 All-purpose flour
Servings: 1
These are *not* fluffy dumplings as in chicken and dumplings. They are a
"sturdy" potato dumpling served as a side dish to meat, and usually with a
sweet sauerkraut/carraway/honey dish as the vegetable.
* * *
Boil peeled potatoes in small quantity of water. Drain potatoes
thoroughly. Rice potatoes through hand held masher/ricer. Let potatoes
cool. On floured board, gradually add flour working mixture into dough
with hands. Shape potato mixture into a long roll and cut into 10 slices.
Drop dumplings into boiling water and boil gently about 5 minutes.
Drain dumplings on paper towel. The dumplings are fully cooked after the
boiling process, but traditionally, Czechoslovakians then melt butter in a
heavy frying pan, and fry the dumplings until they are lightly browned on
all sides.

2 Whole eggs or egg yolks
Bring the broth to a full boil in a soup kettle. Gradually add the rice,
stirring constantly until the broth boils again. Reduce the heat, cover,
and simmer until the rice is just tender, not mushy, 12 to 14 minutes.
Remove from the heat and keep warm while preparing avgolemono. Beat the
eggs for 2 minutes. Continue to beat, gradually add the lemon juice.
Slowly add some of the hot broth to the egg-lemon mixture, beating
steadily. Stir the mixture into the soup and cook over minimum heat,
without boiling, until the soup thickens to coat a spoon. Taste for salt,
and keep warm over hot water until ready to serve. Pass the pepper mill at
the table for additional zest.
(If desired, bite-sized pieces of cooked chicken may be added to soup
before adding the rice).

Title: Anginares Tarama
Categories: Greek, Appetizers, Vegetables
Servings: 6
6 sm Fresh globe artichokes 2 lg Juicy lemons
1 1/2 oz Tarama; rinsed if necessary 1 c Fruity olive oil
-=OR=- Salt
2 oz -Smoked skinned cod's roe Freshly ground white pepper
1 tb Finely grated onion pulp
To clean the artichokes, cut off the stems flush with the base, remove any
tough, unsightly outer leaves and cut off the top one-third of the flower
bud itself. Force the leaves open a little, and rinse under cold water,
with a squeeze of lemon or a splash of vinegar to prevent discoloring.
Place the artichokes upside-down in a pot large enough to hold them all in
one layer and pour in boiling water to come one-fourth of the way up the
sides. Salt and simmer 15-40 minutes, depending on their age and size -
until the heart is just tender when pricked with a fork. Drain and refresh
them under cold water; drain again and chill.
Beat the tarama or smoked cod's roe with the grated onion. You can do this
easily in a food processor. Finely grate the zest of one lemon and beat
in, with 2 teaspoons boiling water.
Squeeze the juice of both lemons. Alternately dribble in lemon juice and
olive oil, beating each addition in before adding the next, as though
making mayonnaise - it may not need all the oil. If you are doing this by
hand, it take perseverence and elbow grease to make it nice and light.
Taste and season with pepper. Open the artichokes and remove the inner,
soft leaves and then the hairy choke. Spoon tarama into the cup of leaves.

Title: Astakos Plaki - Lobster In Tomato Sauce With Saffron Rice
Categories: Greek, Fish
Servings: 4
2 Lobsters (about 2 lbs each) 4 Sun-dried tomatoes (in oil)
- (live, or recently dead) - pounded to a paste
25 Saffron strands; soaked in 1/2 c White wine
1/4 c Hot water 1/4 c Orange juice
1/4 lb Finely chopped onion 1 Bay leaf
1 md Leek; washed, finely chopped Salt & freshly ground Pepper
8 tb Fruity olive oil 1/2 c Finely chopped Fennel
3 Garlic cloves; minced 1/2 c Minced flat-leaf Parsley
1 lb Tomatoes; skinned, seeded, 1 tb Finely chopped fresh Mint
- and finely chopped Saffron Rice
If you have live lobsters, plunge them into a pan of boiling water for 1
minute, then into cold water.
To prepare the lobsters, break off the claws and crack them open with a
hammer. Cut off the tip of the tail (with the fins), then sever the tail
where it joins the head with a heavy knife. Cut the tail into rings,
slicing through the shell between the ribs.
Split the head open lengthwise with a hard blow of a knife and remove and
discard the gritty stomach sac. Pour the coral (if any) and the green
matter (which is the liver) into a stainer over a bowl, sprinkle with salt
and pepper, and reserve. Put the saffron to soak.
In a heavy-bottomed pan big-enough to contain the lobsters and sauce, fry
the onion and leek gently in 3 tablespoons olive oil until translucent. Add
the garlic, chopped tomatoes, tomato paste and liquid, wine, orange juice,
and bay leaf. Season and simmer, covered, for 15 minutes.
Add the fennel, parsley, mint, saffron and liquid, and lobster tail pieces
and claws with their shells (but not the legs) and simmer, covered, for 10
minutes.
In the meantime push the coral and liver of the lobster through the
strainer and beat the purée with the remaining olive oil. When the lobster
has simmered for 10 minutes, ladle out about 1 cup sauce and beat this into
the coral purée. Pour this back into the pot, stir, and simmer for another
10 minutes. Serve with saffron rice.

2 c Yogurt;pain 2 Garlic cloves;minced
1/2 Cucumber;English,peeled & 3 tb Olive oil
-grated 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

5 oz Tarama (fish roe) 1 tb Water (more if necessary)
1 c Olive oil 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: Chicken Braised In Walnut Sauce
Categories: Greek, Poultry
Servings: 4
1 Frying or roasting chicken* 1 Sprig of fresh thyme
Salt & freshly ground pepper 1 c Milk
1 Large onion; sliced 2 Egg yolks
4 tb Butter 1 ts Grated nutmeg
1 Bay leaf 1 c Shelled walnuts; crushed **
*Note: Chicken should be about 2-1/2 to 3 pounds, and cut into serving
pieces. **Walnuts may be crushed in a mortar, blender or food processor.
Wash and dry the chicken parts and season lightly with salt and pepper. In
a heavy frying pan, saute the onion in butter until soft, then add the
chicken parts after a few minutes. Saute on all sides, then add the bay
leaf, thyme, and enough hot water to almost cover. Tighty cover the pan
and simmer the chicken until tender (approximately 1 hour). Using a
slotted spoon, remove the chicken to a warm platter and keep warm while you
prepare the sauce.
Strain the remaining pan liquid into a small saucepan and bring to a boil.
Meanwhile, whisk the milk with the egg yolks, then add, slowly, to the
strained pan liquid and cook over very low heat until the sauce boils,
stirring constantly. Sprinkle in the nutmeg, then stir in the crushed
walnuts. Simmer another minute and pour over the chicken. Serve warm.

Title: Melomakarona * Phoenikia
Categories: Greek, Desserts
Servings: 40
1 1/2 c Honey 2 Oranges' strained juice
1 1/2 c Sugar; granulated 2 tb Cognac or brandy
1 c -Water 1/4 ts Cloves; ground
1 tb Lemon juice 1/2 ts Nutmeg; ground
1 lb Walnuts; finely chopped 1 ts Baking powder
1 1/4 c Butter ; softened 1/2 ts Baking soda
4 ts Cinnamon; ground (or more) 6 c Flour; all purpose (or more
1 1/2 c Oil; vegetable 2 oz Walnuts; finely chopped
1/2 c Sugar; icing
(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 c Granulated sugar 1 c -Water
1/4 ts -Salt 1 Lemon or orange (peel only)
6 Eggs 2 tb Fine brandy or cognac (opt.)
1 ts Vanilla extract; opt
In a heavy-bottomed, 3-quart saucepan, bring the milk gradually to a boil;
do not allow it to scorch. Meanwhile, sift the semolina, cornstarch, 1 cup
of the sugar, and salt together and gradually add to the boiling milk,
stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. Cook slowly over medium heat
until the mixture thickens and comes to a full boil, then remove from the
heat. Beat the eggs on high speed of an electric mixer. Gradually add 1/2
cup sugar and continue beating until very thick and fluffy, about 10
minutes, then add the vanilla. Stirring constantly, add eggs to the hot
pudding. Partially cover the pan and allow to cool. Butter a 9 x 12 x
3-inch baking pan and cover the bottom with 7 sheets of the filo, brushing
butter generously between each and making sure that a few sheets come up
the pan sides. Pour the custard into the pan over the filo. Cover with the
5 remaining sheets, brushing butter between each and on the surface. With
the tip of a very sharp knife, score the top filo sheets into square or
diamond shapes, being careful not to score as deeply as the custard. Bake
on the center rack of a moderate (350 F) oven for 40 to 45 minutes, until
crisp and golden chestnut in color and the custard is firm. Meanwhile, boil
the remaining 1-1/2 cups sugar with the water and lemon or orange peel for
5 minutes. Add the brandy or Cognac, if desired, and set aside. Remove the
galaktoboureko from the oven and set on a cake rack. Spoon the hot syrup
over the entire galaktoboureko, particularly the edges. Cool thoroughly
before cutting and serving. Store in the refrigerator. From: "The Food of

Title: Pierogi
Categories: Polish, Pasta, Side dish, Empanadas
Servings: 6
2 Eggs 2 c Flour
1/2 c Water 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

Also, care to swap spaetzle recipes? Here's mine, from Pillsbury. They're
delicious with chicken paprikash or in a minestrone-style soup.
SPAETZLE
Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup; level off. In large bowl, combine
flour, 1/4 tsp salt and nutmeg. By hand, beat eggs into flour mixture.
Gradually adding milk, stirring constantly until mixture forms a smooth,
soft, moist dough. If dough is too thick, add additional milk 1 T at a
time. Dough should easily flow through holes in a colander when pressed
with a spoon.
In large pot, bring water and remaining salt to a boil. Press spaetzle
dough, a small amount at a time, through colander with large holes (not
slits), or drop by 1/4 tspful, into the boiling water. After water returns
to a boil, cook uncovered for 5-7 minutes or until tender, stirring
occasionally. Remove with a slotted spoon; drain. Repeat with the remaining
dough. Use in soups, stews, tossed in with veggies, or as a buttered side
dish. Makes 2-1/2 cups. Can be made a

Well, I finally found that recipe I told you about, and another one that's
slightly different. Neither is anything like the ones I saw posted on the
echo the past few days. The first one is tried and true from my mom's
Polish neighbor. The second is from the folks who make the Solo filling.
MARIANNE'S KOLACKIES
Cream butter and cream cheese together. Add egg, vanilla; then mix in the
flour. Cover and chill for a few hours to overnight. Roll out on lightly
floured board to 1/4" thickness and cut with round cookie cutters. Place
them on a cookie sheet as you would cookies. Use thumb to make indentation
in center of each. Fill with about 1 tsp of desired filling. Bake at 350 F
until lightly golden, about 10-15 minutes (guessing here, I just do it by
sight).
Makes enough for a whole house of hungry Polish people at Christmas or
Easter time! For ordinary folks (as Justin Wilson would quip), I'd

Mrs. T's Tart Tamper
This is the tassie recipe from the back of the Mrs. T's Tart Tamper I got
at Lechter's (discount housewares store). The tamper is only $2.89 and well
worth it! It makes perfect little tarts quickly every time. Oh, and you'll
need a mini-muffin pan or two. (My nieces and nephews love the little bite
sized cranberry nutbread gems I bring for them at Thanksgiving.)
TASSIE DOUGH
Mix butter and margarine well, then add flour and mix to a soft dough.
Chill at least 1 hour or overnight.
PECAN TASSIE FILLING
Fill tarts with chopped nuts 'til about 1/2 full. Mix other ingredients and
spoon on top of nuts, so that tarts are now about 3/4 full. Bake at 350 F
for 15 minutes, then at 250F for 30 minutes, or

Title: More Fillings For Tassies

Servings: 6
6 1/2 tb Sugar 2 Eggs
1/4 c Butter 1/4 To 1/2 tsp lemon peel
1/4 c Lemon juice

I haven't made these lemon ones yet, but I scaled down a larger recipe from
some cookbook to resemble the pecan tassie proportions, hoping to have
enough lemon filling for a batch of tartlets. So it may or may not be
enough, thought I'd let ya know.
LEMON TASSIE FILLING
In a small saucepan over low heat, cook the 1 st three until dissolved.
Beat the eggs with a mixer and add the hot mix very slowly, mixing
constantly. Then return mix to the saucepan and cook for about 3 minutes
until it's of pudding consistency. Stir in lemon peel. Let cool to room
temp. Fill each tartlet with about 2 tsps of the lemon mix. Bake at 350 F
for 20-25 mins., or until golden.
The back of the tart tamper package also suggested some other fillings,
like cherry or blueberry pie filling, or vanilla pudding topped afterwards
with a strawberry or a few blueberries (glaze with some heated currant
jelly).
