.RH REC.FOOD.RECIPES-#175 SCONES-1 Col "29 Aug 91" 1991
.RZ "SCONES"
Here is a recipe from my mother-in-law which works well.
.IH
.IG "2 cups" "sifted flour" "250 g"
.IG "3 tsp" "baking powder"
.IG "1 tsp" "salt"
.IG "\(14 cup" "shortening"
.IG "2 Tbls" "sugar"
.IG "\(12 cup" "milk" "110 ml"
.IG "1" "egg,"
slightly beaten
.PH
.SK 1
Mix the dry ingredients, then cut in the shortening, just as if you were
making biscuits. Add the milk and egg -- you may need to add more flour if
the dough is too sticky, or more milk if it is too dry. It should be slightly
moister/softer than a regular biscuit.
.SK 2
Roll into a circle, about
.AB "\(14 inch" "\(12 cm"
thick, slightly thicker in the center. Cut into wedges (eight works well), and
place on an ungreased baking sheet.
.SK 3
Bake at
.TE 450 230
for 10-12 minutes, until golden.
.SH RATING
.I Difficulty:
easy.

.IG "1 lb" "Ricotta cheese" "450 g"
.IG "1 lb" "Mozzarella cheese" "450 g"
(diced)
.IG "3 Tbls" "grated cheese"
or to taste (I like either Romano or Parmesan)
.PH
.SK 1
After draining the pasta and discarding the water, put the pasta back in the
pot. Stir in the Ricotta and Mozzerella. Stir in 2 cups of the sauce. Stir
in the grated cheese.
.SK 2
Transfer to a baking dish (use PAM or some other vegetable spray to coat the
dish). Pat down the mixture. Top with the remaining sauce; use a little extra
grated cheese on top.
.SK 3
Bake at
.TE 375 190
for 25 minutes or until the pasta on top is golden brown. If the top starts
to get to brown before the dish is thoroughly baked, wrap in aluminum foil and
continue to bake.

Don't be afraid to use extra grated cheese if you like that taste.

.RH REC.FOOD.RECIPES-#175 PAELLA-2 M "30 Aug 91" 1991
.RZ "PAELLA"
.KY SPANISH CHICKEN FISH
The reason you have found paella to be radically different depending where you
get it is that it's another of these wonderful \fIcollect everything in the
fridge and throw it in the pot\fR dishes. The following is sort of an outline
- improvise to suit your own tastes. Quantities, except for the rice and
broth, are extremely flexible.
.SH "Phase I - Make the Chicken & Broth"
.IH
.IG "~3 lb" "chicken parts" "1 1/3 kg"
(or a whole fryer)
.IG "" "various vegetables"
(like onion, garlic, celery, carrot, leeks, etc.)
.IG "2" "bay leaves"
.IG "a few" "whole cloves"
.IG "" "salt and pepper"
to taste
.SK 1
Put chicken parts in about
.AB "10 cups" "2 \(14 l"
of water with salt and pepper. Add a couple of bay leaves and a few whole
cloves. You can also add things like onion, garlic, celery, carrot, leeks,
etc. as you would when making chicken soup. Cook until the chicken is tender.
.SK 2
Strain and save the broth, and discard (or eat) all the solid bits except the
chicken meat and the bay leaves. Tear the chicken into manageable pieces and
set aside. (I've had paella where the chicken was left on the bones, and I
find it rather difficult to eat).
.SH "Phase II - Things to be Sauteed"
.IH
.IG "" "olive oil"
(for sauteeing)
.IG "" "garlic,"
sliced, crushed or minced
.IG "several" "cloves,"
sliced, crushed or minced
.IG "1 med-large" "onion,"
chopped
.IG "1 large" "bell pepper,"
finely diced
.IG "1 small" "hot pepper"
(optional)
.IG "3-4 med" "tomatoes,"
chopped, left sitting in some wine
.IG "chorizo,"
cut into
.AB "\(14 inch" "\(12 cm"
slices (I've used kielbasa when I can't get chorizo - it doesn't matter as
long as it's that kind of firm sausage)
.IG "" "shrimp,"
shelled and deveined
.PH
.SK 1
Heat some olive oil over high heat in a \fBlarge\fR pan (they actually sell
paella pans, but you can use a large saute pan or even a wok). Add the garlic
and saute until light brown. Add the onions, cook until translucent. Add the
pepper, cook a few minutes more. Add the sausage and shrimp. When the shrimp
are done (they've \fBjust\fR turned kind of orange-red-pink and are curled up
- don't overcook them), add the tomatoes and their wine. Turn the heat down a
bit.
.SH "Phase III -- The Wet Part"
.IH
.IG "~2 lbs" "live mussels and/or clams" "~1 kg"
.IG "3 cups" "rice" "600 g"
.IG "" "oregano"
.IG "" "thyme"
.IG "" "ground pepper"
(black or white, a little cayenne if you like)
.IG "2-3 threads" "saffron"
.PH
.SK 1
You need the chicken broth, chicken and bay leaves from Phase I.
.SK 1
Prepare the shellfish (remove their beards, wash the shells, make sure none of
them are dead). Put
.AB "~6 cups" "1 1/3 l"
of chicken broth (from Phase I) into the pan with the cooked veggies, sausage
and shrimp. Add spices to taste (don't forget the bay leaves from Phase I).
The saffron is the big flavor here. Stir thoroughly, then add the shellfish.
Cook for a few minutes, and the shellfish should start to open.
.SK 2
When they are well on their way, start sprinkling the rice over the mixture,
gently folding it in as you go. Be careful from this point on not to mangle
the shellfish - you don't want a lot of empty shells when you're done. When
all the rice is in the dish, let it cook for 10 mins. or so, stirring
occasionally. Add the rest of the broth and the cooked chicken pieces.
Continue cooking until the rice is \fIright\fR - tender, not too dry, not too
wet. Take out the bay leaves (or don't bother if it's just you).
.NX
I've had this with peas in it, which was quite good. You can use any kind of
shellfish, vary the veggies, change the spices, substitute bite sized pieces
of boneless pork for the sausage, etc etc. Use your imagination and have fun!
