Title: Torta Categories: Appetizer Servings: 14 1 lb each cream cheese and 1/2 lb smoked salmon unsalted butter With an electric mixer, beat cream cheese and butter until very smoothly blended. Cut two 18 inch squares of cheesecloth, moisten with water and wring dry. Lay them out flat, one atop the other. Use the cheesecloth to *smoothly* line a 6 cup, straight-sided mold (such as a loaf pan, terrine, etc.), draping excess cloth over the sides. Put 2-3 thin slices lemon in the bottom of the mold for a garnish (it will end up on top). With a paddle or spatula, make an even layer of 1/6th of the cheese mixture over the lemon slices. Cover this layer with 1/5th of the salmon (you can use more if you want fewer layers). Repeat layers ending with cheese. Fold cheesecloth over the torta and press down lightly to compact. Chill about 1 hour until firm. Then, invert onto a serving dish and gently pull off cheesecloth & serve with crackers. This can be refrigerated up to 5 days; but, remove the cheesecloth or the salmon may bleed onto the cheese and smear your "layers". Terri St. Louis ******************************* I could KISS you for keeping the source credit on that recipe!! Everyone and his brother is removing the credits from everything I post, and I really appreciate it when people leave that on. Thanks! ..After coming home from the movies, I've re-read this post. I've decided not to stop you! <G> ******************************* Here are some of my favorite recipes, from my cookbook, "Cooking With Ah-Dee". ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v7.00 (*P) Title: ITALIAN TRAY 1 Categories: Salad, Do-ahead Servings: 6 -Deidre-Anne Penrod, FGGT98B -----INGREDIENTS----- Carrots Celery Radishes Salami, polish ham, cold Cuts, cut in halves or in Triangles Cream cheese Cherry tomatoes Tuna or deviled ham salad Olives, black and green Green onions Whatever else you want THIS IS BASICLY AN ANTIPASTO SALAD, MORE OR LESS Get out a beautiful glass serving tray or any other large serving tray and arrang carefully the following: Make carrot curls. Use a potato peeler to give you long, thin stirps. Roll up strips and crowd, side by side, in a deep bowl. Cover with water and chill. For celery branches, cut vcelery stalk in 3-inch lengths and make small slices on each end--not quite trhough to the middle. Place in bowl, cover with water and chill. For radishes, make many "almost through" slices on the tip. They will open after they've been placed in a bowl, covered with water and chilled. (Carrots will curl, radishes will open, and celery will turn into miniature branches if, after they are cut, they are submerged into a bowl of cold water and refrigerated a few hours or overnight.) (CONTINUED IN PART 2) ----- ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v7.00 (*P) Title: ITALIAN TRAY 2 Categories: Salad, Do-ahead Servings: 4 (No Ingredients) (CONTINUED FROM PART ONE) Salami, Polish ham, or other cold cuts can be cut into halves or triangles. If you want to go fancy, soften cream cheese, fill and roll up a slice of meat. Secure with a toothpick and green olive. Cherry tomatoes can be left whole and beautiful or you can cut off the very top of them and scoop out the insides. Then fill with tuna or deviled ham salad mix. For the added zing, use a little bit of horseradish in the tuna or ham. Dust the tops with parsley. Olives, black and green, and green onions complete the tray. (You might want to top the whole tray off with little pieces of ice here and there to keep it all fresh and delicious.) YIELD: Depends on cold cuts and vegetables in the Italian Tray.

Add all other ingredients cover and cook for ~ 1 hour, stirring until cheese is melted and then occassionally after that. Serve with tortilla chips. This recipe freezes well. You can also substitute cooked tomatoes (chopped or put through food processor), a large can of chopped green chilies and some jalapenos (if you want it hotter). ************ Patti Baechle ■ SLMR 2.1a #rgg3 ■ I'm in search of myself. Have you seen me anywhere? Another favorite family recipe that is great although the name sounds terrible. Title: Chicken liver spread Category: Spread? Servings: heck I give up, I don't know Ingredients: Chicken livers (1 lb.) butter salt & pepper to taste 2 hard boiled eggs cut up chopped onions ~2 TBLS of mayonaise Fry chicken livers in butter, add salt & pepper (I end up adding quite a bit of salt). Cut up chicken livers when done. Mix eggs, onions, livers and mayo together. You can serve hot or cold with crackers to spread it on. This is actually very good, it doesn't taste very much like liver. Patti Baechle ■ SLMR 2.1a #rgg3 ■ A naked man fears no pickpockets!
