Justin Wilson says, "Hush puppy is an old Southern term that originated after the Civil War. People didn't have enough for themselves to eat let alone feed their dogs, so when the old hounds started barking from hunger, they would throw pieces of fried corn bread to them, yelling, 'Shut up, dog!

It may be necessary to change heat control from high to low. This is a soft bread. Serve with butter, or butter and sugar.

(This may be done days in advance and refrigerated. Bring to room temperature before using). Combine the yeast with 1/2 cup warm water in large bowl. Stir with a fork or small whisk. Add an additional 2 1/2 cups water. Add salt. Stir in the flour, 1 c at a time, beginning with the whole wheat. Use a whisk until the dough becomes stiff, then switch to a wooden spoon. Turn the dough onto a well floured work surface. Knead rhythmically for 10 to 15 minutes, until the dough is smooth, springy, nonsticky, and elastic. Add more flour as you knead if necessary. The dough is ready if you can poke to fingers into it and the resulting indentations spring back. Cover the dough with a cloth and let rest while you wash, dry and generously butter the bowl. Knead the dough a few more turns, then form it into a ball and place it in the bowl. Turn it to coat with butter. Cover the bowl and put it in a warm, draft-free place until the dough has doubled in bulk, about 1 1/2 hours. It has risen sufficiently when you can gently poke a finger into the dough and the hole reamins. (Don't poke too enthusiastically or the dough will collapse.) When doubled, flour your fist and punch the dough down. Knead it a few times and then let it rest. Sprinkle 1 large or 2 small baking sheets with a liberal amount of cornmeal. Divide the dough into 3 equal parts. While you work with 1 piece, keep the other 2 covered. Flour your work surface. With a rolling pin, roll each piece of dough into a rectangle approximately 14-inches long X 7-inches wide. Spread it with softened garlic butter. Roll the long edge toward the opposite long edge, as if you were rolling up a rug. Pinch ends closed. Place loves on the baking sheets. With a sharp knife or razor blade, slash the loves lightly at 2-inch intervals. Cover with a cloth and place in a warm draft-free place to rise until doubled, about 1/2 hour. Meanwhile preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes with a pan of boiling water on the oven floor. Spray loaves with water several times during the baking process. (This helps the bread form a thick crusty shell.) To test for doneness, rap the loaf with your knuckles. The loaf should sound hollow. Cool on wire racks, but the loaves are delicious eaten warm right out of the oven. ----- ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.00 Title: Walnut Brown Bread Categories: Breads, Fruits, Nuts Yield: 10 servings 3 c Raisins 3 c Water 1/4 c Shortening 5 1/2 c Unbleached flour; sifted 2 c Sugar 4 ts Baking soda 2 ts Salt 2 Eggs; lg, slightly beaten 1 c Walnuts; chopped Combine the raisins and water in a 3-quart saucepan and bring to a boil.

It certainly does enhance the flavor, but if you want plain corn muffins, you can certainly omit these 2 ingredients. Preheat oven to 400~. You'll need either one or two 12 unit muffin tins, lined with cupcake papers. Whisk the dry ingredients together, throughly, in a bowl and set aside. Whisk the sour cream, eggs amd melted butter together until well-blended. Make a well in the dry ingredients, pour in cream/butter/egg mixture and if you're adding the corn and bacon, add them now. Using a spatula, fold the ingredients together, just until combined--DON'T OVERMIX. Spoon the mixture into the lined muffin tins, filling them evenly, about 3/4 full. Bake for 20-25 minutes, testing until a wooden pick comes out clean. Let me know if these muffins are what you're looking for. I have more recipes if they're not.

It turned out great. Basically, I just halved your recipe and added a few things. My DAK is a 3 cup flour model, is yours? If I'm using whole wheat or rye flour, I can add more flour because it doesn't rise as much. Also, whenever I use whole wheat, etc. I add vital wheat gluten and lecithin to aid elasticity and to help it rise. This is what I put in the DAK and the order I used: Turn the light/dark setting to 12 o'clock and set the menu to Sweet Bread (the auto. one, not the manual one) Later, at the beeps, I added 3/4 c. pecans (didn't have walnuts on hand). I usually add large pieces since they are kind of cut up by the B/M while knead ing. We can keep experimenting with this....let me know if you try it and what you add or subtract. Have you ever added raisins, oatmeal or any kind of seeds? The B/M gives me the lazy way out, and I wanted to see what it would do in it. Thanks so much for taking precious time to post the recipe. P.S. I have some of the beer s/d starter to give you when we get together, but the whole wheat starter is GREAT!. Regards, 08/21 11:14 P.M.

Even if your cycle runs longer, simply remove dough after 20 minutes and turn off the machine. Divide the dough into the appropriate number of pieces. Each piece should be rolled into a rope and made into a circle, pressing the ends together. You may find it necessary to wet one end slightly to help seal the ends together. Place these on a well greased baking sheet, cover and let rise only 15 to 20 minutes. Meanwhile, bring to a slight boil in a "nonaluminum pan", (Donna German uses a cast iron frying pan) about 2 inches of water. Carefully lower about 3 or 4 bagels at a time into the water, cooking for about 30 seconds on each side. Remove bagels, drain on a towel, sprinkle with poppy seeds, sesame seeds or dried onion bits if desired and place on the greased baking sheet. Bake in a preheated 550 degree oven for 8 minutes.

To make it in a bread machine cut liquid and flour in half. In a small bowl, sprinkle the yeast and a pinch of sugar over the warm water. Stir to dissolve and let stand until foamy, about 10 minutes. In a large bowl, combine the mild, remaining sugar, egg, salt, oil or butter, dill and 1 1/2 cups flour. Beat with a wisk or heavy duty mixer until smooth. Add the yeast mixture and remaining flour 1/2 cup at a time, beating vigorously about 2 minutes. Batter will be sticky. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm area until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour. Sprinkle the onion and walnuts over the top of the batter and stir down, beating vigorously to evenly distribute. Turn into a well greased 3-quart casserole or souffle dish, 9-inch springform pan, or 9-inch kugel of tube mold. Cover loosley with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm area until doubled in bulk, about 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Bake in the center of the oven until the top is crusty brown, hollow when tapped and a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean, about 45-50 minutes. Run a sharp knife around the sides of the pan and turn out of the pan onto a rack to cool right side up.

With a wooden spoon, stir in active yeast mixture. Cover loosely with a towel so Herman can breathe. Let stand in a warm draft free place overnight. DAYS,2, 3,and 4: Stir daily with a wooden spoon. Keep covered. Keep cool. DAY,5: Stir in 1/2 cup sugar,1 cup milk and 1 cup flour. Let stand 24 hours. DAYS,6, 7, 8, and 9: Stir daily with a wooden spoon. DAY,10: Repeat DAY 5, stirring in 1/2 cup sugar,1 cup milk and 1 cup flour. THIS gives you enough starter to use freely in recipes and/or give away. Herman may be replenished as needed but can go no more than 5 days at room temperature between feedings. After feeding, wait 24 hours before using the renewed starter. DAILY stirring helps keep yeast mold from forming. Most directions specify that Herman not be refrigerated since cooler temperatures slow the growth and "souring" of the starter. It is, however, a safer course for busy cooks with fast growing starters. Herman also is freezer-friendly and may be kept on ice between baking impulses if you get bored. NOTE: If desired,substitute buttermilk for milk in starter for more flavor and less fat. If more starter is needed, additions may be doubled when 2 or more cups of starter are used..... ----- ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.00 Title: BREAD FAT SUBSTITUTE - APPLESAUCE Categories: Tips, Breads, Apples, Breadmaker Yield: 1 servings -LINDA CALDWELL KKPD13B Try substituting unsweetened applesauce for the fats called for in your bread recipes. This even works with chocolate cake! Many can't tell any difference in taste and the pectin in the applesauce keeps the bread moist longer. I buy the small Motts individual containers so I don't have a large jar going bad in the fridge. I've read that you can use up to one tablespoon of applesauce per cup of flour. If you do make this substitution hold out about 1/8 to 1/4 cup of the liquid in the recipe and add it back in a tsp. at a time during the kneading cycle. ----- ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.00 Title: Hawaiin sweet bread Categories: Breads, Breadmaker Yield: 1 servings 3 ts Dry yeast 1/4 ts Lemon extract 5 tb Sugar 1/4 ts Vanilla extract 3 c Bread flour 2 Eggs 3/4 ts Salt 4 tb Butter 2 tb Dry milk 1 c Warm water 2 tb Instant potato flakes This is from "Great Bread Machine Recipes" by Norman A.

What is a Sourdough Starter? "A sourdough starter is a wild yeast living in a batter of flour and liquid. Yeasts are microscopic fungi related distantly to mushrooms. There are many varieties of these tiny organisms around us everywhere. Wild yeasts are rugged individualists which can withstand the most extreme of circumstances. Some will make delicious loaves of bread; others will create yogurt and cheese out of milk; still others will turn the juices of grains and fruit into beer and wine." "Active dry yeast, the kind we can buy in packets at our grocer's, is a domesticated descendant of these wild relatives, one which has been grown for flavor, speed of growth and predictability. But domestic yeasts are much more fragile and can't be grown at home without eventually reverting to their original wild state." "If you can imagine a world without any packets of active dry yeast, you can imagine how important your sourdough starter would be to you. Without it, you would be doomed to some pretty awful eating. It is no wonder that sourdough starters were treasured, fought over, and carried to all ends of the earth. To the early prospectors, it was such a valued possession (almost more than the gold they were seeking), that they slept with it on frigid winter nights to keep it from freezing. (Ironically, freezing won't kill a sourdough starter although too much heat will.)" Fermentation (or the Microscopic Magic of Yeast): "As we mentioned above, yeast is a microscopic fungus. As it feeds on the natural sugars in grain, it multiplies and gives off carbon dioxide (just as we do when we breathe). This invisible activity of yeast is called fermentation. When you make bread with wheat, by kneading the long elastic strands of wheat protein (called gluten) into an elastic mesh, you create traps for these carbon dioxide bubbles causing the dough to expand as if it contained a million tiny balloons." ----- ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.00 Title: KING ARTHUR FLOUR - SOURDOUGH STARTER TIPS 2 Categories: Information, Breads Yield: 1 servings -DEBBIE CARLSON (PHHW01A) -KING ARTHUR FLOUR HINTS (Continued) How to Feed & Care for Your Sourdough Starter: "Keeping a sourdough starter is somewhat like having a pet because it needs to be fed and cared for. But its requirements are simple and not time consuming. Baking with sourdough is also a simple process. All it takes is a little planning and timing. The results are so satisfying, you'll grow to treasure your invisible pet the way our ancestors did." "When you receive your starter, refrigerate it if you don't intend to feed it immediately (at any rate, starter should be fed as soon as possible after you receive it). To feed it for the first time, snip off a corner of the plastic bag and squeeze the starter into a glass or ceramic bowl (not metal). Stir in 3 cups of lukewarm water (what feels comfortable on your wrist) and 3 cups of unbleached all-purpose flour. Mix until it's well blended and the consistency of pancake batter. Let the replenished starter sit at room temperature for at least 12 hours to give the yeast a chance to multiply and become active before you put it in the refrigerator. Ordinarily you would feed your starter when you remove some to bake with it. A good rule of thumb is to replenish it every two weeks or so, preferably because you made a wonderful loaf of sourdough bread, a stack of pancakes or a delicious sourdough cake." (This previous paragraph is for those people who have ordered King Arthur's Sourdough Starter from their catalog.) "During the time the starter is stored in the refrigerator, it becomes relatively dormant which is why it can survive so long with so little attention. You'll find that a clear, amber colored liquid will accumulate on the surface of the starter. This liquid contains 12% to 14% alcohol." "When yeast is in contact with air, it produces carbon dioxide; when it's not, it produces alcohol. When you blend the alcohol back into the starter, it helps produce the unique flavor you find in good sourdough breads. For milder flavor, you can pour off some of the alcohol if you wish although this will thicken the starter requiring a bit more liquid to return it to its "pancake batter" consistency. (To "sweeten" a starter in another way, see Troubleshooting which follows.) The alcohol itself dissipates during the baking process."

It is certainly not as demanding as children, or more traditional pets, but it isn't happy just sitting for months on end like a packet of commercially dried yeast either." "Freezing: You may be able to ignore your starter for a month or even much longer, but if you know you're going to be away for a time, you can store it (unlike children or pets) in the freezer. You may want to transfer it to a plastic container first as it will expand as it freezes. When you are ready to use it again, give it a day to revive, feed it a good meal, give it another day to build up an armada of fresh, new wild siblings and it will be ready to go to work." "Drying: An alternative storage method is to dry your starter by spreading it out on a piece of heavy plastic wrap or waxed paper. Once it's dry, crumble it up and put it in an airtight container. Store it some place cool, or, to be safe, in the freezer. To reactivate the dried starter, grind it into small particles with a hand cranked grinder, a blender or a food processor. Pour 1 to 1 1/2 cups of warm water (what feels comfortable on your wrist) into a glass or ceramic bowl. Stir in and dissolve a tablespoon of sugar or honey. This isn't necessary but it gives the yeast an easy "first course." Blend in an equal amount of flour and dried starter. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and watch for small telltale bubbles which should begin to appear on the surface within a few hours. Once you see them you'll know it's alive and well. Let it continue to feed and grow for a further 12 hours before you cover and refrigerate it." How to Remove Some Starter for Baking: "With a spoon or wire whisk, blend the liquid back into the starter and then measure out the quantity required by your recipe. Replace the amount taken with equal amounts of flour and water. Since many recipes are based on using 1 cup of starter, you would return to your starter pot, 1 cup of flour and 1 cup of water. (This actually makes 1 1/3 cups more starter but you can adjust the amount whenever you want.) As you did when you first fed your starter, let it sit at room temperature for at least 12 hours to give the yeast a chance to "feed" and multiply before you chill it again." ----- ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.00 Title: KING ARTHUR FLOUR - SOURDOUGH STARTER TIPS 4 Categories: Information, Breads Yield: 1 servings -DEBBIE CARLSON (PHHW01A) -KING ARTHUR FLOUR HINTS (CONTINUED) TROUGLESHOOTING Feeding Without Baking: "If you have been busy or away, you can always feed your starter without baking anything. Stir the mixture together, take out and discard 1 cup of starter and replenish as above, stirring in 1 cup water and 1 cup flour. (Or instead of discarding the starter you removed, ask a neighbor if he or she would be interested in adopting a starter of his/her very own.) Let the resuscitated mixture sit at room temperature for 12 hours or so before you return it to the refrigerator." Treating a "Sluggish" Starter: "If you feel that your starter is just not "up to snuff," dissolve a teaspoon of yeast in the cup of water you mix into the starter when you feed it. (If you live in an area where water is chlorinated, let some sit out overnight to allow the chlorine to dissipate to preclude any interference with the development of the sourdough micro-organisms)." Sweetening a Starter: "If your starter becomes too sour, take out 1 cup, dispose of the remainder, and add 2 cups of each of flour and water to refreshen it." Increasing Your Starter: "If you want to grow a large amount of starter to give some to a friend or to do a lot of baking, simply increase the amount you feed it." Resuscitating a Neglected Starter: "If your sourdough starter has sat in the refrigerator months beyond the point of health, give it a fighting chance for survival before you throw it out. A little warmth and a good meal of strong, high energy carbohydrates may be all it needs to get it off and running again." "The layer of liquid on the surface will probably be very dark, making it look as if the starter must surely have expired. Quell your fear, wrestle the top off the jar and give it a sniff. If it smells the way it should, though exceptionally sour, it may just be sitting there in a dormant state waiting to be fed. The only way to know is to give it a meal." "Blend it back together and pour it into a glass or ceramic bowl. (Take this opportunity to give its jar a good wash.) As the starter will probably be quite thin, mix in 2 cups of flour and 1 cup of water to nourish and thicken it. Leave the bowl out on the counter where it will be warm and visible."

If so, cheer your brew on by keeping it warm and covered overnight. In the morning, celebrate by making sourdough pancakes (which you'll find ...in our "King Arthur Flour 200th Anniversary Cookbook"). They are delicious and quick. Give the remaining starter another feeding, let it sit for 12 more hours to ensure its reawakened vigor before you tuck it back in the frig. Then quietly heave a sigh of relief and congratulate yourself on your rescue." How to Decide if You Need to Start Over (groan): "If your sourdough begins to mold or develop a peculiar color or odor instead of a "clean, sour aroma," give a sigh, throw it out and, if you're patient, start again. Along with the vital yeasts, you may have inadvertently nurtured a strain of bacteria that will not be wonderful in food. This happens very infrequently so don't let this possibility dissuade you from a sourdough adventure." Starter Variations: "Here are some variations on the basic flour/liquid/yeast combination that will produce sourdough starters with different personalities. *Substitute 1 cup of stone ground whole wheat flour for 1 of the unbleached all-purpose flour. *For tap water, substitute water from cooking potatoes. It contains nutrients which any kind of yeast loves and along with making the yeast happy, it creates great flavor in bread. *Substitute buttermilk for tap water. ----- ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.00 Title: KING ARTHUR FLOUR - VITAL WHEAT GLUTEN TIPS Categories: Information, Breads Yield: 1 servings -DEBBIE CARLSON (PHHW01A) -KING ARTHUR FLOUR HINTS "One of the most frequently asked questions of us here at King Arthur Flour is, 'What is gluten?' Gluten is an element of the wheat berry that contains two special proteins, gluten in and gliadin. When you are making bread, and you add liquid to the flour, you get these two proteins in business. They start to interact and form a web which traps the carbon dioxide that the yeast is giving off. This web is developed during the kneading process. Wheat is the only grain which contains gluten." "To use gluten, we have found that adding a tablespoon for each cup of flour called for in the recipe will increase the rise in the bread from 25% to 30%. The proper way to measure the gluten is to put 1 tablespoon of the gluten in your measuring cup and then spoon the flour into the cup on top of the gluten. Level off the flour with the back of a knife." ----- ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.00 Title: KING ARTHUR FLOUR - BAKING TIPS Categories: Information, Breads Yield: 1 servings -DEBBIE CARLSON (PHHW01A) -KING ARTHUR FLOUR HINTS 1. Yeast Proofing: To "proof" yeast, first dissolve the sugar (about 1 Tbsp. for each 2 cups liquid) or other sweetener in warm water (about 95 degrees) and then add your yeast. Wait several minutes for it to dissolve and begin to "work", or develop tiny bubbles. If it doesn't show signs of life, discard it and try another batch. Because yeast doesn't like salt, add it after the yeast is "proofed". 2. A Better Measure: Because flour settles and compacts in storage, fluff it up before you measure. Then, gently sprinkle it into your measuring cup and scrape the excess off with the back of a knife. This will insure a 4 oz. cup of flour rather than the 5 oz. you would have if you scooped it out with your cup. 3. Rest When You "Knead" It!: After 3 or 4 minutes of kneading dough, let it rest for a few minutes. The rest relaxes the dough and makes the remaining kneading easier. 4. Liquid Assets: Instead of the water your recipe calls for, try juices, bouillon, or water you've cooked vegetables in. Instead of milk, try buttermilk, yogurt, or sour cream. It can add a whole new flavor and improve nutrition. 5. Sweeteners: Even though you don't need it when making bread, a little sugar can bring out flavor, just as salt can. For added moisture, try honey, maple syrup, or regular or dark unsulphured molasses. 6. Oil for Longevity: If you don't mind a few extra calories (12 to 15) per slice (a slice of bread without fat has only 60 to 65 calories!), add a couple of tablespoons of butter or vegetable oil to your dough, and your bread will stay fresher for a longer period. 7. Storing King Arthur Flour: If you use your flour fairly quickly, store it in a cool, dry cupboard and stick a couple of bay leaves in the bag to discourage any visitors. If you use your flour more slowly, especially your whole wheat, put it in a lock-type plastic bag and store it in your freezer. 06/30 09:22 pm LORELI Loafing and Laughing in Ocala,L FOOD AND WINE BB TOPIC: BREADS BY MACHINE TIME: 06/30 9:24 PM TO: LORELI AGUDA (WSKD49A) FROM: LORELI AGUDA (WSKD49A) SUBJECT: "MEGA 500+" FOR JUDY ----- ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.00 Title: OAT-WHEAT BAGEL BREAD Categories: Breadmaker, Breads Yield: 1 servings 1 1/2 ts Yeast - 1 1 1/2 ts Cinnamon 1 1 1/2 ts Gluten - 1 1 ts Salt - 1 1/2 1 1/2 c Oat flour 1 3 tb Honey - 2 1 1/2 c Whole wheat flour - 1 1 c Water - 5 1/2 oz 1437 cal - 1030 - Amounts are for 1 1/2 pound loaves - amounts to the right are for 1 pound loaves.

Stir in flour and yeast. Leave uncovered in a warm place for 2-5 days, depending on how long it takes it to bubble and sour. If it starts to dry out, stir in enough tepid water to bring it back to the original consistency. Once it has a good sour aroma and is full of bubbles, it is ready to use. Try to maintain about 1 and 1/2 cups of starter. Each time part of the starter is used, replenish with a mixture of equal parts milk and flour. Leave at room temperature several hours or overnight, or until it begins to fill with bubbles. Then cover and store in refrigerator. Starter is best if used at least once a week. If starter isn't, used for 2 or 3 weeks, spoon out and discard about half and replenish as described. Given attention, a starter becomes more flavorful with age. Starter can be frozen if it is not to be used for several weeks. This will slow down yeast action and should be left at room temperature for 24 hours after thawing. Sourdough Bread: 2/3 cup skim milk 1 cup sourdough starter 3 cups bread flour 2 Tbs.sugar 2 tsp. lite salt 1 & 1/2 tsp. yeast 2 Tbs. liquid Butter Buds Combine above thoroughly (using half of the flour) and let stand uncovered to ferment overnight in a warm place.

Put batter into a funnel (be sure to cover the spout with one finger), then, holding the funnel over the hot oil ( use extreme caution when cooking with hot oil), release some of the batter in circular motions to form one funnel cake. The funnel cake will rise quickly and expand, so be careful about how much batter you use for the first one until you get the "feel" for cooking it. Cook to a light golden brown on both sides, then remove from the oil and place on paper towels to drain.. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve while still warm!

Sprinkle the yeast over the water mixture, stirring once to blend and let sit for 5 minutes until the top is bubbly and the yeast has bloomed. Stir in the remaining warm water and the oil. Place the flour in a large bowl and add the water and oil mixture to it. Stir, adding enough flour to make a soft dough that will pull away from the sides of the bowl. If it is too dry, add a little water a tbls at a time. Turn the dough out on a well-floured work surface, sprinkle the top with a little additional flour. Knead until it become very springy, elastic and very smooth. It should be light in weight, if it is heavy, you have use too much flour and it will not raise properly. Form into a smooth ball and let rest on the work surface while you wash and clean the large bowl. Spray with a non-stick spray. Put the ball of dough into the bowl and turn it over to get some of the spray on the top. Cover with plastic wrap or a warm, damp, clean dishtowel. Let the dough rise in a warm, draft free place until double in volume, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. If the dough rises before you are ready, punch it down in the bowl by kneading making sure all of the air is gone. Turn it over and reshape it into a ball and let rise again. If the top is dry, use a little olive oil to grease it. You can punch the dough down and cover the bowl and keep the dough refrigerated for up to two days before letting it rise at room temperature. For a thin, crisp pizza crust punch the dough down and turn out and spread over a pizza pan or baking sheet or a bakers peel. Cover with filling and topping, baking at once. For thicker, softer pizza crust punch the dough down and turn out shaping as above and then cover lightly with a clean dishtowel. Let rise about 30 minutes before covering with filling and topping. Makes enough dough for one 12 to 14 inch round pizza, two 7 to 8- inch round pizzas or one oblong pizza, or one dozen appetizer-sized pizzas.

Sprinkle yeast over this and stir. Let stand in warm place about 10 minutes till doubled in size. Mix milk, rest of honey or brown sugar, flours into yeast mixture in a glass container about the size of a gallon pyrex jar. Stir, using only a wooden spoon, since metal objects will retard herman's growth. Leave the cover on lossely or place a glass plate over the top of the container. So Herman can breathe. Herman doubles, enen tripples at time of vigorous rising. Place Herman in a warm place overnight. Next day refridgerate, Lossely covered and stir each day. This is very important with wheat and honey starter as more gasses form in the container and are released during stirring. Formation of this gas may cause the starter to appear darker on the top than on the bottom. But this is okay. On the 5 th day measure out 1 cup herman for baking and another to give to a friend if you wish.

Add remaining ingred. and stir well. Place in glass jar, covered loosely with foil, plastic wrap, etc. (to allow for gas expansion). Keep at room temperature for 24 hrs. Then place starter in frig. for 3-5 days. Feed: After starter has been refrigerated 3-5 days, take out and feed it above mixture. Let stand out (loosely covered) all day (8-10 hrs.). Take out 1 C. to use in making bread and return remaining starter to frig. Keep refrigerated from 3-5 days; feed again. After feeding, take out 1 C. to use in making bread, or give 1 C. to a friend, or throw 1 C. away. Starter must be fed again in 3-5 days. Bread: Mix first 5 ingred. together. Add in flour 1 C. at a time until thoroughly mixed. Knead until good "elastic" consistency, but don't over knead. Place approx. 2 Tbl. oil in bottom of large boowl; turn dough over so oiled side is facing up. Cover with dish towl; let rise until double - about 8-10 hrs. Punch down, knead again only a few times, mixing in flour until good consistency. Divide dough in half, shape into loaves. Place in ungreased loaf pans; let rise again (4-6 hrs.). Bake @ 350 for 25-35 min. until golden brown and loaves sound hollow when tapped. Cinnamon Bread: Before placing dough in loaf pans to rise, roll out, brush with melted butter, sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Roll up and place in loaf pan to rise. This is a great receipe - I've enjoyed it for years! Your starter should bubble a little after it has set out for the day (before you feed it). If not, I have added yeast to the warm water of the "feed" and added it in and the starter has recovered just fine! Enjoy! And let me know how you like it!

Elberti ----- ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.00 Title: Frances Cook's Bread & Rolls Categories: Breads Yield: 24 servings 3/4 c Milk 1 Fresh cake yeast 1/4 c Sugar 3 tb Shortening 1 ts Salt 1 Egg 3 1/2 c Flour 1/4 c Lukewarm water Scald milk and pour over sugar, shortening, & salt. Let it cool to lukewarm while softening yeast in a small bowl with the warm water. When soft, add the egg and beat together slightly. Pour the yeast/egg mixture into the milk mixture and stir them together. The flour may be sifted or poured into the liquid. With a large spoon, stir until flour/milk is well mixed. You should have a firm, but not stiff dough. Without removing it from the bowl, cover the dough with a plate or towel and set aside to rise until double in bulk (about 2 hrs depending on the temperature in the kitchen). Instead of letting the dough rise at this point you may put it in the refrigerator and use it later, or the next day. Watch to make sure it doesn't spill out of the bowl. If it starts to spill before you're ready to use it, punch it back down. Refrigerated dough is easier to handle but takes longer to rise. BREAD: If you want to make bread, dump the dough out of the bowl onto a floured surface and with more flour as needed to keep it from sticking, knead it until springy and easy to handle. This dough does not require a lot of kneading; only enough to make it easy to handle. For 2 medium size loaves cut the dough in half and knead/shape each into loaves and put into greased baking pans. Allow about 2 hours for the dough to double again. Bake in a 375 degree oven until lightly browned on top (if uncertain whether or not bread is done, tip out of pan and see if bottom is browned too). ROLLS: To make rolls, work and knead dough until springy and easily handled. Roll out with a rolling pin and cut with a biscuit cutter and fold over and place on a greased cookie sheet (Parkerhouse rolls), or break dough into small pieces, make into little balls and place 3 in each section of a greased muffin pan (Cloverleaf rolls). SWEET ROLLS: For Christmas bread or sweet rolls, roll out dough as for Parkerhouse rolls, except trying to make an oblong instead of a round. Spread it with raisins and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Dot with butter and roll as for a jelly roll. Slice and place on a greased pan or make into a circle and make slashes through the dough at intervals. Let rise and bake as for loaves. Top with an icing made of confectioners' sugar, melted butter, milk, and vanilla or rum flavoring and drizzle over the bread or rolls while hot. Decorate with nuts or fruits. If you want to make a whole wheat bread, use half white and half whole wheat flour, and use brown sugar instead of white. The amounts above will yield 1 large or 2 medium loaves of bread, or 2 dozen large rolls. Mrs. Harold T.

This recipe is adapted from the nutrition dept. of the Univ. of Washington School of Medicine. Combine flour, sugar, xanthan gum, milk powder, and salt in bowl of heavy duty mixer. Use your strongest beaters. Dissolve the 2 teaspoons of sugar in the 1/2 cup of lukewarm water and mix in the yeast. Set aside while you combine the shortening and 1 1/4 cups water in saucepan and heat until shortening melts. Turn mixer on low. Blend dry ingredients and slowly add shortening and water mixture and the vinegar. Blend, then add the eggs. This mixture should feel slightly warm. Pour the yeast mixture into the ingredients in the bowl and beat at highest speed for 2 minutes. Place mixing bowl in a warm place, cover with plastic wrap and a towel, and let the dough rise approximately 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until doubled. Return to mixer and beat on high for 3 minutes. Spoon the dough into 3 small (2 1/2" x 5") greased loaf pans or 1 large one. Use muffin tins and bake any remaining as small rolls. Or make all rolls (approximately 18). Let rise until the dough is slightly above the top of pan. Bake in preheated 400 degree oven for 10 minutes. Place foil over bread and bake large loaves 50 minutes longer, small loaves slightly less time, and rolls about 25 minutes. NOTES: The dough texture will seem more like cookie dough than bread dough, so don't be alarmed. Bread is better when baked in small loaf pans and delicious in rolls. I have successfully doubled the recipe to turn out 2 large loaves plus 18 rolls in the muffin tins or 3 small 2 1/2" x 5" loaves plus 24 rolls. This bread freezes well. For convenience, slice before freezing. This bread may be made with either brown or white rice flour in the GF flour mix. GF flour mix: 2 parts white rice flour 2/3 part potato starch flour 1/3 part tapioca flour Source: The Gluten-Free Gourmet by Bette Hagman NOTE: The book says xanthan gum is necessary for all yeast recipes to help make the breads springy and chewy. It helps to replace the gluten the rice and potato flours lack.

Make a well in the center Mix eggs, olive oil and water and pour into well. Stir flour into egg mixture until dough forms into a ball. Turn out onto floured surface and kneed for about 10 minutes, adding extra flour if too moist. Kneed until dough is smooth and elastic. Cover with towel and rest for 30 minutes. Cut into 4 portions, keep pieces covered until used. Get out your machine and set dial on widest setting (1 on the Atlas). Flatten dough ball and run through rollers several times until smooth (you may add a bit of flour here too). Move rollers to next setting and roll again once. Continue to roll until pasta is the proper thickness (5 or 6 on the Atlas). You may cut sheet in half if it's too long. Continue with other pieces and then put the finished sheet aside to dry for about 3 minutes. Attach desired pasta cutters and run the sheets through. You can use right away or spread out the pasta to dry overnight and then freeze extra. To cook, drop into large pot of boiling water with a bit of salt and oil. Cook until al dente, which should only take about 2 minutes for fresh. A tip - be sure the dough is fairly dry, otherwise it won't cut into separate strands. Another tip - You can substitute heavy cream for the 1/3 c water for a richer pasta. Great for fettuchini alfredo. ----- ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.00 Title: BRENDA'S ITALIAN BREAD Categories: Breads Yield: 2 servings 5 1/2 c Unsifted flour (120 to 130 degrees) 1 tb Salt Cornmeal 1 tb Sugat Corn or other vegetable oil 1 tb Butter or margerine 1 Egg white 2 Pkgs active dry yeast 1 tb Cold water 1 3/4 c Very warm tap water With the metal blade in place, add 3 cups flour, salt, sugar, butter and yeast to bowl of processor.

If it is too soft, add more cornmeal. Drop by molded Tablespoon into 350"F fat and cook about 1 1/2 minutes; turn and cook on second side 1 minute. Allow oil to heat a few seconds after removing a batch. Delicious freshly cooked and hot; however, leftover hush puppies freeze well. When ready to serve frozen hush puppies, place on oven rack in preheated 250"F until very hot and crisp. Makes about 48 hush puppies 2" round. Hints on frying: Using a small diameter heavy saucepan allows using a minimum oil; a 5 or 6 inch pan with oil 1 1/2 inches deep and heated to 350"F will cook three hush puppies in about 2 1/2 minutes. When batter consistency is correct and oil is at 350"F, hush puppies will become firm, round shapes almost as soon as they enter the hot oil. If they are cooked in oil that is too hot, they will not cook in the center. Serving suggestions: Especially good served with fried catfish, trout, shrimp, oysters, chicken or chicken-fried steak.

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.

It's similar to what the rest of the world knows as braising--the ingredients are briefly browned or sauteed, then cooked with a little liquid over a low heat for a long time." Season the roast with one half of the salt and peppers. Dust with flour on all sides. Heat the oil in a Dutch oven or other large heavy pot over medium-high heat, add the steak, and brown well on all sides. Remove the meat and pour off all but 1 teaspoon of the oil. Add half the onions, bell peppers, celery, and the other half of the seasonings, and the stock or water. Stir well and reduce the heat to the lowest possible point. Return the roast to the pot and cover with the remaining vegetables. Cover and let cook until the meat is very tender, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Serve the meat in slices, with rice alongside and the gravy over all. When you try this recipe with other kinds of meat, be sure to adjust the cooking times accordingly--let tenderness be your guide. For extra flavorful roasts, try larding with slivers of garlic before smothering. Serves 4-6 From Alex Patout's "Cajun Home Cooking" Random House Inc.

Wash the crawfish well and pick out any fish bones or other debris. Fill a great big (40-quart) Stockpot a quarter full of water. Add the salt and peppers and bring to boil. Add the whole onions, the corn, and the new potatoes (it will be easy to remove them later if you put them in a cloth sack). Return to boil, cover, lower heat to medium, and let cook for 8 minutes. Add crawfish, cover again and raise heat to high. After steam begins to escape from under the lid, cook 7 minutes more. Remove from heat and let sit for 4 minutes. Do *NOT* remove the lid until this point! Remove the onions, corn, and potatoes to a bowl and drain the crawfish. Place the crawfish in a large insulated container (an ce chest works well, as do the thick waterproof boxes chickens are shipped in, which your butcher may give you for free). Have your *SPRINKLE* ready and sprinkle over the crawfish and mix them well to coat. Cover and let sit for 7 minutes. Serve immediately with the onions, corn, new potatoes, and lots of French bread on a large table covered with plenty of paper. When everyone has eaten his fill, everyone "peels for the house." The peeled tails can then be used in cold crawfish cocktail or salad or for Fried Crawfish the next day. Serves 8-10 NOTE: Most of the salt is not added until after the cooking process because too much salt added during cooking makes the flesh of the crawfish adhere to the shell.

Strain and discard the heads and peels. Place the oil in a Dutch oven or other large, heavy pot and place over medium-high heat. Add the onions, peppers, and celery and saute stirring often, until the vegetables are very soft, about 45 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, salt, peppers, herbs, sugar, and shrimp stock and return to simmer. Reduce heat to medium and let simmer for 2 hours, stirring occasionally, This is your creole sauce; it can be prepared 1 or 2 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator (I find the sauce is even better after sitting a couple of days in the refrigerator). When you are ready to serve, return the sauce to a simmer and add the shrimp. Cook until they turn pink, 5-7 minutes. Stir in the green onions and parsley and let cook for 1 minute more. Serve on flat plates over beds of rice. Serves 6-8. SHRIMP AND HAM OR TASSO JAMBALAYA: Prepare Shrimp Creole as above, but add about a pound of cubed ham and a 4-ounce can of tomatoe sauce to the finished sauce and simmer 45 minutes more. Meanwhile, boil or steam 2-3 cups raw rice. Finish the sauce (which will be your jambalaya base) by adding the shrimp, green onions, and parsley as above. (If you are using leftover Shrimp Creole, remove the shrimp and reheat the sauce, add the ham and tomato sauce, and proceed as above. Return the shrimp to the pan at the end of cooking.) Place the hot, cooked rice in a large bowl, pour the jambalaya base over, mix well, and serve. You can also prepare this dish with sausage instead of ham.

Redfish and pompano are ideal for this method of cooking. If tilefish is used, you may have to split the fillets in half horizontally to have proper thickness. If you can't get any of these fish, salmon steaks or red snapper fillets can be substituted. In any case, the fillets or steaks must not be more than 3/4 inch thick. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over very high heat until it is beyond the smoking stage and you see white ash in the skillet bottom (the skillet cannot be too hot for this dish), at least 10 minutes. (FT - this recipe is *NOT* for the faint of heart) Meanwhile, pour 2 Tablespoons melted butter in each of 6 small ramekins; set aside and keep warm. Reserve the remaining butter in its skillet. Heat the serving plates in a 250F oven. Thoroughly combine the seasoning mix ingredients in a small bowl. Dip each fillet in the reserved melted butter so that both sides are well coated; then sprinkle seasoning mix generously and evenly on both sides of the fillets, patting by hand. Place in the hot skillet and pour 1 teaspoon melted butter on top of each fillet (be careful, as the butter may flame up). Cook, uncovered, over the same high heat until the underside looks charred, about 2 minutes (the time will vary according to the fillet's thickness and the heat of the skillet). Turn the fish over and again pour 1 teaspoon butter on top; cook until fish is done, about 2 minutes more. Repeat with remaining fillets. Serve each fillet while piping hot. To serve, place one fillet and a ramekin of butter on each heated serving plate. I had this in K Pauls Restaurant in New Orleans. It is a taste experience you will never forgive yourself for missing should you ever be lucky enough to find yourself in N'awlins and you don't go to K Paul's and order this.

Set aside. In a small bowl thoroughly combine the seasoning mix ingredients; set aside. Prepare the pork chops by cutting a large pocket (to the bone) into the larger side of each chop to hold the stuffing. In a large skillet, brown the ground pork in the remaining 3 Tbsp. butter over high heat, about 3 minutes. Add the onions, bell peppers, garlic, and 2 Tbsp. of the seasoning mix, stirring well; cook about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally and scraping pan bottom well. Stir in the green chilies and their juice and continue cooking until mixture is well browned, about 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally and scraping the pan bottom as needed. Add the stock and cook 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in the bread crumbs and cook about 2 minutes more, stirring constantly and scraping pan bottom as needed. Remove from heat. Sprinkle the remaining seasoning mix evenly on both sides of the chops and inside the pockets, pressing it in by hand. Prop chops with pocket side up in an ungreased 13x9-inch baking pan. Spoon about 1/4 cup stuffing into each pocket; reserve the remaining stuffing. Bake chops with pocket up at 400F until the meat is done, about 1 hour 10 minutes.

In a 2-quart saucepan, heat the oil over high heat until very hot, about 2 minutes. Add the onions and bell peppers; saute about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the pecans (we ran out of pecans, so Lucy substituted hickory nuts - good!) and continue cooking for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the raisins and butter (these are added together so the raisins will absorb as much butter as possible). Stir until butter is melted, then cook until raisins are plump, about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the rice and seasoning mix and cook until rice starts looking frizzly (a bit like ce Krispies) Chef Prudhomme recommended using converted rice. Lucy used brown, long grain rice - super!. This will require about 2 to 3 minutes, stirring almost constantly before the rice looks "frizzly". Stir in the stock, scraping pan bottom well, then stir in the apples. Cover pan and bring to boil; lower heat and simmer covered for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit, *COVERED*, until rice is tender and stock is absorbed, about 30 minutes.

Directions: Place in the hot water, oil and salt in a large pot over high heat; and cover and bring to a boil. When water reaches a rolling boil, add small amounts of spaghetti at a time to the pot, breaking up oil patches as you drop the spaghetti in. Return to boiling and cook to al dente stage, do not over cook.(To test doneness of spaghetti, cut a strand in half near the end of cooking time. When done, there should be only a speck of white in the center, less than one-fourth the diameter of the strand.) Do not overcook. During this cooking time, use a wooden or spaghetti spoon to lift spaghetti out of the water by spoonfuls and shake strands back into the boiling water. (It may be an old wives' tale, but this procedure seems to enhance the spaghetti's texture.) Then immediately drain spaghetti into a collander; stop cooking process by running cold water over strands. (If you used dry spaghetti, first rinse with hot water to wash off starch.) After the pasta has cooled thoroughly, about 2 to 3 minutes, pour a liberal amount of vegetable oil in your hands and toss spaghetti. Set aside still in the colander. Meanwhile, thoroughly combine the seasoning mix ingredients in a small bowl and set aside. In a 4-quart saucepan, combine 1-1/2 sticks of the butter, the onions and garlic cloves; saute over medium heat 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the minced garlic and seasoning mix; continue cooking over medium heat until onions are dark brown, but not burned, about 8 to 10 minutes, stirring often. Add 2-1/2 cups of the stock, the Worcestershire and Tabasco; bring to a fast simmer and cook about 8 minutes, stirring often. Stir in the tomato sauce and bring mixture to a boil. Then stir in the sugar and 1 cup of the green onions; gently simmer uncovered about 40 nminutes, stirring occasionally. Heat the serving plates in a 250F oven. Combine the ingredients of the chicken seasoning mix in a small bowl; mix well. Sprinkle over the chicken, rubbing it in with your hands. In a large skillet melt 1-1/2 sticks of the butter over medium heat. Add the remaining 1 cup green onions and saute over high heat about 3 minutes. Add the chicken and continue cooking 10 minutes, stirring frequently. When the tomato sauce has simmered about 40 minutes, stir in the chicken mixture and heat through. To finish the dish, for each serving melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add one-sixth of the cooked spaghetti (a bit less than a 2 cup measure); heat spaghetti 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add 1-1/4 cups chicken and sauce and 2 tablespoons of remaining stock; heat throughly, stirring frequently. Remove from heat. Roll spaghetti on a large fork and lift onto a heated serving plate.

Place the roast, standing on the rib bones, in a very large roasting pan. Then with a knife make several dozen punctures through the silver skin so seasoning can permeate meat. Pour a very generous, even layer of black pepper over the top of the meat (the pepper should completely cover it); repeat with the garlic powder, then the salt, totally covering the preceding layer. Carefully arrange the onions in an even layer on top so as not to knock off the seasoning. Place the fat cap back on top. Refrigerate 24 hours. Bake ribs in a 550F oven until the fat is dark brown and crispy on top, about 35 minutes. Remove from oven and cool slightly. Refrigerate until well chilled, about 3 hours. (this is done so the juices will solidify and the steaks can be cooked rare.) Remove fat cap and disgard. With the blade of a large knife, scrape off the onions and as much of the seasonings as possible and discard. Then with a long knife, slice between ribs into 6 steaks (4 will have bones); trim the cooked surface of meat from the 2 pieces that were on the outside of the roast. Season and cook in your favorite way for steaks. TO BLACKEN THE STEAKS: Combine the ingredients of the seasoning mix thoroughly in a small bowl; you will have about 8 tablespoons. Sprinkle the steaks generously and evenly on both sides with the mix. using about 4 teaspoons on each steak and pressing it in with your hands. Heat a cast iron skillet over very high heat until it is beyond the smoking stage and you see white ash on the skillet bottom--at least 10 minutes. (The skillet cannot be too hot for this method.) Place one steak in the hot skillet (cook only one side at a time) and cook over a very high heat until the underside starts to develop a heavy, black crust, about 2 to 3 minutes. Turn the steak over and cook until the underside is crusted like the first, about 2 to 3 minutes more. Repeat with the remaining steaks. Serve each steak while piping hot. (*NOTE*: If you don't have a commercial hood vent over your stove, this dish may smoke you out of the kitchen. It's worth it! But you can also cook it outdoors on a gas grill; a charcoal fire doesn't get hot enough to "blacken" the steak properly. If you have a smoke detector in your house, you will be able to determine if it is working correctly. This is NOT a dish to prepare in an apartment building with a central fire alarm system wired into your smoke detector. It causes great excitement! Also, you can be guaranteed you will meet your landlord.)

The recipe calls for the onion and garlic to be unpeeled and quartered. Also, you may include bones and any excess meat (excluding livers) from meat or poultry, or shells or carcasses from seafood, used in the recipe(s) you're cooking, or FOR FOWL AND GAME STOCKS: 1 1/2 to 2 pounds backs, necks and/or bones from chickens, guinea hens, ducks, geese, rabbits, etc. FOR BEEF OR TURTLE STOCKS: 1-1/2 to 2 pounds beef shank (preferred) or other beef or turtle bones. FOR PORK STOCK: 1-1/2 to 2 pounds pork neck bones (preferred) or other pork bones. FOR SEAFOOD STOCK: 1-1/2 to 2 pounds rinsed shrimp heads and/or shells, or crawfish heads and/or shells, or crab shells (2-1/2 to 3 quarts), or rinsed fish carcasses (heads and gills removed), or any combination of these. (you can also substitute oyster liquor for all or part of seafood stock called for in a recipe). NOTE: If desired, you can first roast meat bones and vegetables at 350F until thoroughly browned. Then use them to make your basic stock. (When you brown the bones and vegetables, the natural sugar in both caramelizes on the surface, which gives the stock a fuller taste and adds color when it dissolves in the stock water.) Always start with cold water--enough to cover the other stock ingredients. Place all ingredients in a stock pot or a large saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, then gently simmer at least 4 hours, preferably 8 (unless directed otherwise in a recipe), replenishing the water as needed to keep about 1 quart of liquid in the pan. The pot may be uncovered, or set the lid on it askew. Strain, cool and refrigerate until ready to use. (Note: Remember if you are short on time, using a stock simmered 20 to 30 minutes is far better than using just water in any recipe..) TO MAKE A RICH STOCK: Strain the basic stock, then continue simmering until evaporation reduces the liquid by half or more. For example, if your recipe calls for 1 cup "Rich Stock," start it with at least 2 cups of strained basic stock. (Rich stocks are needed when a sauce requires lots of taste but only a limited amount of liquid, for example, "Oyster Sauce for Beef."

Combine the first seasoning mix ingredients in a small bowl; mix well and set aside. In a large skillet fry the bacon over high heat until crisp. Add onions, celery and bell peppers. Stir well and saute until vegetables start to get tender, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add 3 tablespoons of the butter and the white and red peppers; stir until butter is melted. Stir in the shrimp and the first seasoning mix. Continue cooking for about 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally and scraping pan bottom well. Stir in the stock and the oysters; cook and stir about 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat. Use a slotted spoon to spoon the seafood vegetable mixture into a food processor or blender, leaving the liquid in the skillet; process mixture until smooth, about 15 to 30 seconds. Return mixture to skillet, stirring to blend with liquid; turn heat to high, and cook until mixture starts sticking excessively, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally and scraping pan bottom well. Remove from heat. Meanwhile, in a 1-quart saucepan melt the remaining 6 tablespoons butter over high heat; when almost melted, remove from heat, then add 1/4 cup of the flour and stir until mixture is smooth. Return to high heat for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Turn heat to high under the stuffing mixture; gradually add the butter-flour mixture, stirring constantly until well blended. If mixture starts "weeping" oil at this point, stir in about 2 tablespoons more stock or water.) Continue cooking until very thick, about 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add the green onions and cook 1 minute more, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in the Parmesan. Cool slightly, then refrigerate until chilled, about 30 minutes. In a small bowl thoroughly combine the flounder seasoning mix ingredients. Open the flounders for stuffing. Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon ofthe seasoning mix on the inside of each flouner. Mound 1/4 cup of the cheddar cheese in the center of each, then spoon a scant 1/2 cup chilled stuffing on top of the cheese. Close the fish so the stuffing doesn't show. Cover and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours. Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon of the seasoning mix on each side of each chilled flounder, patting it in with your hands. In a pan (cake and pie pans work well) combine the remaining seasoning mix with the remaining 1/2 cup flour. In a large, heavy skillet heat 1/4 inch oil over high heat to about 350F. Meanwhile, place each flounder (split side up) in the seasoned flour to coat only the bottom surface. Carefully slide each flounder into the hot oil and fry the bottom until it's crispy, crunchy and brown-brown!-- about 3 to 4 minutes. Without draining, place the flounder, still split side up, on an ungreased cooke sheet. Bake at 550F until the fish are cooked and well browned on top, about 10 minutes (after about 4 minutes, drape a piece of aluminum foil over the tails so they won't burn).

With a metal whisk, mix in 2 tablespoons of the flour, whisking constantly and scraping pan bottom well, until the roux is dark red-brown to black, about 2 minutes, being careful not to let it scorch or splash on your skin. (Remove from heat momentarily if it is browing too fast for you to control, continuing to stir constantly.) Immediately whisk in the onions; reduce heat to low and continue stirring and cooking about 1 minute. Add the tomato sauce and stir and cook 1 minute. Then stir in the seasoning mix and the Worcestershire (the mixture should now be thick and dark red-brown); cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly.

Combine the onions, bell peppers and celery in a small bowl and set aside while you start the roux. (NOTE: Unlike the roux in most other recipes in this book, the roux we use here is light brown. Therefore, instead of heating the oil to the smoking stage, we heat it to only 250F; this prevents the roux from getting too brown.) In a heavy 2-quart saucepan heat the oil over medium-low heat to about 250F. With a metal whisk, whisk in the flour a little at a time until smooth. Continue cooking, whisking constantly, until roux is light brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Be carefyul not to let the roux scorch or splash on your skin. Remove from heat and with a spoon immediately stir in the vegtable mixture and the red, white and black peppers; return pan to high heat and cook about 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add the bay leaves, jalapeno peppers and garlic, stirring well. Continue cooking about 2 minutes, stirring constantly. (We're cooking the seasonings and vegetables in the light roux and the mixture should, therefore, be pasty.) Remove from heat. In a separate 2-quart saucepan, bring the stock to a boil. Add the roux mixture by spoonfuls to the boiling stock, strirring until dissolved between each addition. Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook until the sauce reduces to 3-1/2 cups, about 15 minutes. Skim any oil from the top and serve immediately.

Trim any excess fat from the ribs and place them in a long shallow dish. In a mixing bowl, combine the marinade ingredients; if you are using 5-spice powder, add it to the mixture by putting it through a tea strainer so it spreads out over the mixture. Mix well, and pour over the ribs and leave for 3 hours at room temperature or about 6 hours in the refrigerator. Baste the ribs every hours or so, turning them over. TO ROAST THE RIBS: Remove the ribs from the marinade. Add the 1/4 cup plum sauce to the marinade; reserve it for basting. Hook metal drapery hooks through both ends of each rack of ribs, at the top, and hang each one as if you were hanging a hammock, suspended from the bars of one of the oven racks. Set the oven rack in the highest position in the oven. On the floor of the oven or on another oven rack set at the lowest position in the oven, place a baking pan half filled with water, to collect drippings and prevent smoking. You may want to line the baking pan with aluminum foil before putting the water in, to make it easier to clean. Roast the spareribs for 45 minutes in the preheated oven. Then baste them with the reserved basting sauce, using a small pastery brush and carefully pulling out the oven rack to facilitate the basting process. Turn the oven up to 450 degrees F and roast for another 15 minutes. By this time the spareribs should be a rich golden brown with crisp edges. Baste again, then take them out of the oven. Place the ribs on a cutting board and remove the drapery hooks. Separate the individual ribs with a cleaver or sharp knife. Serve at room temperature, with dipping sauce.

Cut the chicken breasts into strips 1/4 inch wide by 1-1/2 inches in length. Squeeze enough fresh ginger in a garlic press to render 1 teaspoon of ginger juice. In a bowl, combine the ginger juice with the sherry/wine, scallion strips, soy sauce, salt and sugar, to make a marinade for the chicken strips. Let the chicken marinate for at least 10 minutes. Place a square of parchment in front of you, with a corner toward you. Rub a bit of oil o the center of the paper. Place a little of the chicken and a bit of the scallion on the paper horizontally, well below the center of the angled square. Fold the lower corner up to cover the meat, then fold the left corner over to the right and the right corner over to left, to make a small envelope. Fold the top corner down and tuck it in securely. Repeat the process for the other 23 pieces of paper, using the rest of the chicken and scallions. In wok or deep fryer, heat the oil to 375 degrees F. Deep fry the envelopes in the hot oil for 1 minute on each side. Remove with a slotted spoon or a strainer, and drain on paper towels. Serve with hoisin sauce. NOTE: Deep-frying foods in a wrapping of paper is a Chinese trick. The paper acts like a batter coating, to protect and insulate the ingredient against the hot oil. Use cooking parchment or rice paper; other suitable papers are available in cooking-supply houses. The paper must be porous; never use aluminum foil or plastic cling wrap. -- Verdi Recipe: "Chinese Appetizers" by Verdi Published by Irene Chalmers Cookbooks, 1981 ----- ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.00 Title: Polish Reuben Casserole Categories: Polish, Pasta, Pork Yield: 8 servings 2 cn (10 3/4 oz each) condensed Medium-width noodles Cream of mushroom soup 1 1/2 lb Polish sausage, fully 1 1/3 c Milk Cooked, cut into 1/2 inch 1/2 c Chopped onion Pieces 1 tb Prepared mustard 2 c (8 oz) shredded Swiss 2 cn (16 oz each) sauerkraut, Cheese Rinsed and drained 3/4 c Whole wheat bread crumbs 1 pk (8 oz) uncooked 2 tb Butter, melted Another good pasta recipe.

In a bowl, mix together the sauce ingredients. To serve, cut the rolls into slices, cutting on the slant. Drizzle the sauce over them and top with the scallion greens and the carrots.

( I *ALWAYS* add a good sized shake or two of Louisiana Hot sauce (NOT Tabasco, there is a difference) Yields 10 servings This is the basic recipe (from Southern Living) It can be adjusted in several ways: 1) substitute ham hocks for bacon by boiling them in the 2 C water until the meat comes off the bone. Fry onion in bacon grease until yellow. Or use any fatty pork meat: trimmings from a roast or chops, "fat-back", etc 2) I prefer Purple-Hull Peas over the Black-eyes, But if you don't know the difference (or can't find them) it's not a big deal. It is important to use fresh peas, frozen if you have to...if you can only get canned or dried peas, nevermind and fix something else. 3) I discovered a secret to Southern style cooking: Cavender's Greek Seasoning. Put a little of it in everything, along with the Louisiana Hot Sauce makes everything taste better. This is what I would do for the greens as a regular family dinner. Later I'll get out the company recipe. BTW Southern Living is *the* Soutern magazine and has the best recipes for regional favorites. They also put out an annual cookbook which includes all the recipes for the year.

Clean and wash the fresh squids, removing all inner matters and skin. Cut through the side so that the meat is in a single "sheet". Cut the meat into strips about 3/4" to 1" wide and 2" long. If desired, slash one side in a close criss-cross patterns, and the strip will curl into a roll upon cooking. Place the squid pieces into a wire strainer with long handle. Boil a pot of water, and immerse the strainer with the squid meat into the boiling water to cook. For very fresh squid, cook until the meat had turned opaque and heated through. For frozen, or "not so fresh" squid, it is advisable to cook a little longer. Lift the squid out of the boiling water and let drain in the strainer. Place the well drained squid meat into a bowl and add fish sauce and lime or lemon juice. Adjust tastes by adding more of either ingredients. The tastes should be tangy sour with sufficient salty tastes. Add lemongrass, ginger roots (very finely julienne), and chopped onions, and mix well. (Optionally, you may add dry ground hot chilli pepper to taste). Place on a serving platter (lined with lettuce leaves) and topped with chopped scallions, cilantro, mint leaves, and crushed hot chilli peppers.

NOTES: Although substitutions for hard-to-find ingredients have been made, this curry paste still carries the true flavor of Thailand. Use it in Thai curries unless otherwise specified. A little added to stir-fry dishes or rubbed into chicken as a marinade before barbequing or grilling will add a real Thai accent. A teaspoon added to a meatloaf mixture or meat balls, transforms them into something that is rather exotic, and when combined with peanut butter and coconut milk, it makes a tangy and aromatic sauce for Thai-style satays. Use whole spices whenever possible. Anchovy fillets may be substituted for the anchovy paste. Shallots are preferable to onions; if not available, use an equal amount of a red onion.

Preheat oven to 350F. Grease (and flour if you wish) 3 nine (9") inch round pans. Mix flour with baking powder and 1/2 ts salt. In a large bowl, mixed at high speed beat the butter and 2 cups of sugar until light. Add 4 eggs, one at a time, and beat after each time you add one. 2. Continue beating, occasionally scraping bowl with rubber scraper, until fluffy - about 2 minutes. At low speed, beat in flour mixture, in fourths alternating with milk (in thirds) beginning and ending with the flour mix. Add vanilla. Beat until just smooth, about 1 min. 3. Pour into prepared pans, and bake for 25-30 min., or until sur- face springs back when lightly touched. Cool pans on wire racks 10 minutes. Remove from pans and cool thoroughly. 4. Prepare the filling: simply whip the cream, adding the sugar and vanilla, and keep cool until the cake has cooled completely. 5. Make the frosting: cream the cream cheese and sugar together, (both should be soft), then add the sugar and vanilla. You might need to add a little milk to make it to the consistency you like. 6. When everything is cool and ready, place a layer on the plate you will serve it from, top side down. Fill with whipped cream filling, and sprinkle with coconut and if you would like add chopped walnuts. Repeat with the second layer, and then place the top layer on. Frost the sides and the top. Cover the entire cake with coconut and if you wish, add chopped walnuts.Refrigerate to set the frosting. NOTE: I had to use skewers to hold the cake in place while I was frosting it, and it might be a good idea to use these to prevent the cake from sliding.

Cover and shake vigorously to mix. Refrigerate, overnight best but a few hours at the least. This is an adaptation to the class "Fireman's Field Days" marinade. Preparing the potatoes: Spread out two 3 ft. sheets of heavy duty aluminum foil, splic together to form one wide one. Rub vegetable shortening on center 2/3 of foil to prevent sticking. Slice potatoes, skin still on, onto foil food processor works wonders..). Season potato slices with remainder ingredients, slice butter over top. Carefully draw sides of foil together and crimp (don't pull apart seam on bottom!) and then roll up ends. Cooking: Get grill hot, place foil potatoes over high heat and cook for to 20 min., then move to low-heat area, upper shelf, or keep warm in oven. (Check potatoes by unrolling top a bit and they should be soft, bottom layer browned well.) Keeping grill hot, lay out pork slices from marinade and grill Adjust temp for flaming/burning, not letting them fire or char. Turn baste, letting marinade cook on top of meat before turning again. The egg congeals on the hot surface of the ribs and helps to coat the ribs Continue turning and basting every few minutes until all marinade is g approx. 30-40 minutes. Cut into thickest part of a slice and check fo doneness - there should be no pink. The object of turning and basting to build up a coating of the cooked marinade on the meat, almost like crust. Meat will have a well-cooked appearance but should not be char black (don't let flames ignite marinade and burn it). Serve foil potatoes hot from foil (mmm, get the crispy ones on bottom, like potato chips!) and dive into the ribs.

This sourdough chocolate cake falls in that category. It's got a fudge-like quality you can't get any way except with sourdough and since it's all mixed in one bowl, it's almost as easy as a boxed cake. Put the starter in a large bowl, cover loosely and allow to stand at room temperature until active and bubbling -- at least one hour. Then add the rest of the ingredients, in the order given, beating well after each addition. It is not necessary to sift or premix any of the ingredients as long as you are careful to get the baking powder and soda evenly mixed. Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans, pour in the batter, which will be thin, and bake in a preheated 350ø. oven for about 30 minutes, or until the layers test done when poked with a toothpick. The cake will have pulled away from the sides of the pan. Allow to cool about 10 minutes before removing from pans, then finish cooling the layers on wire racks. Do not frost until the cake is completely cold. A mild chocolate butter cream frosting is nice with this cake. From: Pitzer, Sara _Baking with Sourdough_ Garden Way Publishing, 1980.

Set the pot over very low heat and bring the milk very slowly to a simmer (a reading of 200 degrees on a thermometer). There will be fine beads around the edge of the milk, which will look foamy but will not appear to be boiling. Remove the pot from the heat and set it, covered, in a spot where it can remain undisturbed and where the temperature will remain fairly uniform at a reading between 80 and 100 degrees. (An unheated oven, without a pilot light, is a good spot.) Let the milk stand for about 6 hours, or until a solik curd floats above the liquid (the whey). More or less time may be required, depending on the temperature of the environment and the characteristics of the milk. Line a fine sieve with doubled, dampened cheesecloth (or, better yet, two layers of very fine-mesh nylon curtain netting, dampened) and set it over a bowl. Dip the curds and whey into the sieve and allow the whey to drain off until the ricotta is yogurtlike. If you want firmer cheese, tie the corners of the cloth to form a bag and hang it up to drain further. (In warm weather, the draining might well be completed in the refrigerator.) When the texture of the ricotta is to your liking, add a little salt (from 1/4 to 1/2 t) if you wish. Store the cheese, covered, in the refrigerator. It will be at its best after it has chilled for 24 hours, and will keep well for 4 or 5 days. Author's notes: Unlike most other fresh cheeses-cottage and cream cheese, for example-the curd of this bland, light cheese is fromed from the direct addition of acid to the milk, not by fermentation. For that reason the time required to make it is generally short. If you haven't used this Italian favorite before, try it in place of cottage cheese, as well as in Italian recipes for such dishes as lasagne and manicotti. You'll find it is a bit creamier than most cottage cheeses, with a much finer curd. For a pleasant light milk dessert, sweeten ricotta slightly and top it with a sprinkling of grated chocolate or cinnamon. ----- ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.00 Title: Impossible Turkey And Stuffing Pie Categories: Poultry, Cheese Yield: 6 servings 2 c Turkey; cooked;diced 1/2 c Green peas; cooked 1/2 ts Seasoned salt 1 c Milk 1 c Prepared turkey stuffing 2 Eggs 1/4 c Green onions; w/tops,sliced 1/2 c Bisquick Heat oven to 400.

Add the butter to the flour all at once. Mix together until well blended. Then add the shortening and continue to blend by cutting it into the flour mixture. The mixture will begin to look like crumbs or small pebbles. It will have the texture of oatmeal. Sprinkle the water over the dough, distributing it evenly throughout. The dough will be come sticky and cling together. Gather it into a ball and wrap it in plastic wrap. Chill for at least 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. When the pastry has chilled, roll it out on a pastry board to a thickness of 1/8-inch. The easiest way is to roll the dough between 2 sheets of waxed paper. Roll the dough up onto the rolling pin and transfer it to a 9-inch pie tin. Gently press it into the tin without stretching it. Use the excess pastry to make flutes or cut away the excess with a sharp knife or scissors. Prick the bottom of the pastry shell thoroughly to prevent trapped air from bubbling the dough. Butter a sheet of aluminum foil and place the foil down into the shell. Weight it down with weights or beans to keep the crust from lifting up. Bake the crust for 7 to 10 minutes then remove the weight and the foil. Return the crust to the oven and continue baking for another 8 to 10 minutes or until the crust is lightly browned. If you have difficulty rolling out the dough, do not reroll it; just patch the tears or holes. Rerolling will make the pastry tough. FILLING: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Press the cottage cheese through a sieve. In a small saucepan, gently heat the cream and the sherry until steamy, do not allow it to scorch. In a mixing bowl, beat together the eggs, egg yolks, sugar, rosewater, and the spices until frothy -- about 5 minutes. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cottage cheese until it is smooth then add the egg mixture and blend well. Add the hot cream and sherry slowly to the cheese mixture and beat until well blended. Stir in the currants and pour the mixture into the prepared crust. Bake for about 30 minutes, then allow to cool. Chill and sprinkle with cinnamon. ----- ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.00 Title: French Cheesecake Categories: Cakes, Cheesecakes, Cheese, Desserts Yield: 16 servings -----------------------------------CRUST----------------------------------- 1 x Shortbread; See Recipe # 22 ---------------------------------CHEESECAKE--------------------------------- 1 lb Cream Cheese 1/2 lb French Cheese; * 1/3 c Sugar; Granulated 1 T Unbleached Flour 4 ea Eggs; Large, Separated 1/4 c Sour Cream 1/4 c Heavy Cream 1 t Real Vanilla Extract 1 T Confectioners' Sugar NOTE: IF YOU ARE ON A DIET AND HAVE TO ASK HOW MANY CALORIES ARE IN THIS * Use the Soft Double Creme French Cheese in this recipe. ~--------------------------------------------------------------------- ~-- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Press the cheese through a sieve. Combine the cheese with the egg yolks, beating in 1 yolk at a time. Add the sugar and blend well. Heat the cream in a large saucepan until it almost boils, then add the cheese mixture and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens. Remove from the heat before it begins to boil. Stir in the fruits, almonds, and lemon rind. Cool. Cream together the butter and the vanilla, then stir into the cooled cheese mixture. Line the flower pot with several layers of moistened cheesecloth, leaving enough cloth at the top to form a flap that will cover the pot. Fill the pot with the cheese mixture and cover with the flap. Put a weight on the top and place in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days. The whey (liquid) will drip out the bottom of the pot, so be sure to place a pan under it. When drained, carefully unmold the cake with a knife. Remove the cheesecloth and smooth the sides with a hot knife. Prepare the sauce. Beat together the egg yolks, sugar, Madeira, and lemon rind in the top of a double boiler. Cook and continue beating until the mixture thickens. Stir in the lemon juice and the rum, then chill briefly. Pour the sauce over the cheesecake and serve. NOTE: This very unusual cheesecake is a traditional Russian Easter dish. In the old days, the custom was to decorate it with paper flowers or religious emblems and have the priest come by and bless it. Back then, it was made in a special pyramid-shaped form, but you can make it in an ordinary red clay flower pot. Visually, the effect is quite striking, and the drainage hole allows the excess whey to escape. To make paskha, you will need a large flower pot and some cheesecloth. The paskha will keep in the refrigerator for several weeks, but be sure to make it at least three days in advance. ----- ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.00 Title: Polish Cheesecake Categories: Cakes, Cheese, Cheesecakes, Desserts Yield: 10 servings -----------------------------------CRUST----------------------------------- 1 x Shortbread; See Recipe # 23 ---------------------------------CHEESECAKE--------------------------------- 4 c Dry Curd Cheese; 2 lbs, * 1/2 t Salt 1 1/2 c Sugar; Granulated 4 ea Eggs; Large, Lightly Beaten 1/2 c Butter; Melted 1 t Vanilla Extract -------------------------------CRUMB TOPPING------------------------------- 1 c Unbleached Flour 1/2 c Confectioners' Sugar 1/2 t Cinnamon; Ground 1/4 c Brown Sugar; Packed 1/4 c Butter; Melted 1 tb Unbleached Flour * Use either Dry Curd Cottage or Farmer cheese in this recipe. ~--------------------------------------------------------------------- ~-- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

NO MARGARINE. ~--------------------------------------------------------------------- ~-- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Working on a large flat surface, such as a pastry board, place the flour and the sugar in the center of the surface and mix together. Form a small depression or well in the center of the mound. Add the beaten egg yolk and the softened butter to the well, ten blend these with the dry mixture. Mix the ingredients thoroughly using your hands -- there's no substitute for warm hands. Shape the dough into a ball and wrap in plastic wrap. Chill for at least 10 minutes. Roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1/4-inch. You should have a circle of about 11 inches in diameter. For best results, roll out your dough between 2 sheets of waxed paper, then peel away the paper and cut the crust in a 9-inch circle. Place the circle inside a 9-inch springform pan. Prick the crust several times with a fork to keep the crust from puffing up during the baking. Place the springform pan in the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until light brown. Allow to cool. Using the leftover dough, line the sides of the springform pan. Press the dough against the sides of the pan, smoothing it so as to have a continuous layer of crust all the way around the sides of the pan. Make sure that the side crust meets the bottom crust all the way around. Brush the reserved egg white onto the shell, covering the bottom and sides. This will seal the dough and keep it from becoming soggy. Set aside until ready to use. NOTE: For the Italian Cheesecake, add 1 ts of grated lemon rind and 1 ts of Amaretto Liqueur when adding the egg yolk and butter. ----- ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.00 Title: Westphalian Cheesecake Categories: Cakes, Cheese, Cheesecakes, Desserts Yield: 10 servings -----------------------------------CRUST----------------------------------- 1 x Shortbread; See Recipe # 22 ---------------------------------CHEESECAKE--------------------------------- 1 1/2 c Cottage Cheese; Small Curd 1/4 c Sugar; Granulated 4 ea Eggs; Large, Separated 1/2 t Vanilla Extract 8 oz Cream Cheese; 1 Pk. 1 t Cornstarch 6 tb Butter Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.

Multiply by your number of guests.) * Grated and mixed half and half. ** This is Swiss cherry firewater: clear, dry-tasting -- *not* "cherry brandy", which is dark and sweet. Most good liquor stores should carry it, at least one of the US brands like Hiram Walker, or else maybe Bols. The best Kirsch is "Etter" brand from Switzerland, but the odds of your finding it are minuscule. -- In Switzerland, fondue is usually perpared in a "caquelon", an earthenware dish with a handle, glazed inside; but any enamelled saucepan can be used, or a not too shallow fireproof dish. Rub the inside of the pan with half a cut clove of garlic, and let it dry until the rubbed places feel tacky. Put the wine in the dish and bring it to a boil. Slowly start adding cheese to the boiling wine, and stir constantly until each bit is dissolved, then add more. When all the cheese is in, stir the kirsch into the cornstarch well, then add the mixture to the cheese and keep stirring over the heat until the mixture comes to a boil again. Add freshly ground pepper and nutmeg to taste. -- Remove the dish to on top of a small live flame (Sterno or alcohol burner) and keep it bubbling slowly. Bread should have been cubed ~- about 1-inch cubes -- for spearing with fondue forks and stirring around in the cheese. The old custom is that if you accidentally lose the bread into the cheese from the end of your fork, if you're male, you have to buy a round of drinks for the table: if you're female, you have to kiss everybody. (Hmm.) . Other fondue info: Do not drink water with fondue -- it reacts unkindly in your stomach with the cheese and bread. Dry white wine or tea are the usual accompaniments. Another tradition: the "coupe d'midi", or "shot in the middle", for when you get full: a thimbleful of Kirsch, knocked straight back in the middle of the meal, usually magically produces more room if you're feeling too full. Don't ask me how this works...it just does. -- The crusty bit that forms at the bottom of the pot as the cheese keeps cooking is called the "crouton", and is very nice peeled off and divvied up among the guests as a sort of farewell to dinner. ----- ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.00 Title: Beef Cheese Ball Categories: Beef, Cheese, Appetizers Yield: 6 servings 8 oz Cream cheese, (yogurt cheese -horseradish, 1 -would be just fine) 2 tsp.

Almost any type of pan can give good results, though directions for brushing with oil and sprinkling with cornmeal differ slightly with each. In fact, the use of cornmeal is not required to prevent sticking except when using a pizza stone, but a little sprinkled on the surface of any pan will give added texture to the crust. Tin-lined steel; aluminum round pizza pans or baking sheets: Generously brush the pan with olive oil. Black-finished metal baking sheets and pizza pans: Follow the manufacturer's directions for care. Lightly brush bottom and sides (if any) with olive oil. Pyrex pizza pan: Generously brush pan with olive oil. Pizza Stone: Stones require preheating in a 500F oven. They require no oiling but must be sprinkled with cornmeal to prevent sticking just before the pizza is transferred from the peel (paddle). The peel must also be sprinkled with cornmeal before the uncooked pizza is place on it for transfer to the heated pizza stone. When removing the hot pizza stone from the oven, be careful not to set it on a cold surface, or the stone will crack. ----- ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.00 Title: Fried Deviled Camembert Categories: Appetizers, Cheese Yield: 4 servings 4 Pieces fairly firm Camembert 1/4 c Dry bread crumbs -cheese (1.5 oz) 1/2 ts Hot chili powder 2 ts All-purpose flour 4 pn Cayenne pepper 1/2 ts Dry mustard Vegetable oil for frying 1/2 ts Dried mixed herbs Fresh sage sprigs (opt) Fresh ground pepper to taste Fresh rosemary sprigs (opt) 1 Egg, beaten Fresh thyme sprigs (opt) Wrap and freeze cheese 1 hour.

Origin: Adaptation from another recipe Shared by: Sharon Stevens ----- ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.00 Title: Old-California Empanaditas Categories: Cheese, Mexican Yield: 6 servings 1 c Butter 2 c Unsifted all-purpose flour 1 pk (8 oz) Cream Cheese 1 Egg yolk 1/2 ts Salt 2 ts Cream or milk Beat butter, cheese and salt together in a mixer until completely smooth and blended. Work in flour to a smooth dough. (You can use a mixer for this step, too, but results are superior if you work in the flour with your fingertips, a fork or rubber spatula). Flatten dough in foil to form a an 8 X 6 inch rectangle. Chill overnight. (You can chill it several days before using). Remove from refrigerator 8 to 10 minutes before rolling. (Many recipes suggest a 30 minute wait before rolling dough, but it's easier to handle when rolled as cold as possible). Divide dough for ease in rolling and to insure cold dough. Keep unrolled portion in refrigerator until ready to use. Roll on floured pastry cloth with floured rolling pin or between two sheets of waxed paper. The former is easier, in my opinion, and I find absolutely no sticking when I use a pastry cloth and covered pin. I first rub cloth and pin well with flour, then shake out excess. When using waxed paper, loosen it on both sides of pastry several times as you roll. Shape as directed in specific recipes and chill before baking. Brush tops (only) of all pastries with egg yolk beaten with cream. Bake in moderate oven (350 degrees) unless otherwise specified. ----- ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.00 Title: Red Enchiladas with Cheese Categories: Mexican, Cheese Yield: 6 servings 1 c Onion; Finely Chopped, 1 Lge 1 ts Cumin; Ground 2 Cloves Garlic;Finely Chopped 1 ts Oregano Leaves; Dried 1/4 c Vegetable Oil 1/8 ts Pepper 1/2 c Chicken Broth 12 Corn Or Flour Tortillas; * 4 c Tomatoes; Chopped, 4 Medium 12 oz Mozzarella Cheese; Shredded 1 tb Red Chiles; Ground Dairy Sour Cream 1 ts Salt * Tortillas should be 6 to 7 inches in diameter. ~--------------------------------------------------------------------- ~-- Cook and stir onion and garlic in oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat, until onion is tender.

The coffee and cream flavors are the perfect complement to the chocolate sponge roll. 1. Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Lightly grease a 17-by-11-inch jelly roll pan. Line with waxed paper and grease and lightly flour the paper. 2. Prepare the chocolate roll. Melt the butter in a small pan and let it cool slightly. In a medium-sized bowl stir together the flour, 1/3 cup of the cocoa, and the baking powder. 3. In another medium-size bowl whisk together the 5 egg yolks, 1/4 cup of the sugar, and the melted butter until light, about 1 minute. Whisk in the vanilla. With a spoon, stir in about half of the dry ingredients. 4. In a large, deep bowl combine the egg whites and salt; with an electric mixer, beat until soft peaks just begin to form. Gradually beat in the remaining 1/2 cup sugar, beating just until stiff, glossy peaks form. 5. Fold about one-fourth (or a large spoonful) of the egg whites into the egg yolk mixture to lighten. Turn this mixture into the bowl of egg whites and partially fold together. Sift the remaining dry ingredients over the top and quickly and gently but thoroughly fold together until no streaks remain. Quickly spread in the prepared pan and bake 10 to 12 minutes, just until the center top springs back when lightly touched. 6. Sift the remaining 2 tablespoons of cocoa onto a clean kitchen towel. Invert the cake onto it and peel off the paper (if it has stuck or is stubborn, lightly brush the paper with water before peeling off). With a long, sharp knife or a serrated knife, trim away about 1/2 inch from each edge. Start along one long side, roll up, jelly roll fashion. Wrap in the towel and let cool to room temperature. 7. While roll cools, prepare the coffee cream. In a medium-sized saucepan over low heat, scald the milk until tiny bubbles appear around the edges of the surface. Place 1 tablespoon cold water in a cup and sprinkle the gelatin over it. Let soften until needed. 8. In a medium-sized bowl stir together the sugar, flour, and salt. Gradually whisk in the scalded milk. Place in a heavy medium-sized saucepan over moderately low heat and, stirring constantly, cook until the mixture thickens and comes to a simmer. Whisk in the egg yolks and continue cooking and stirring until the mixture comes to a boil. Remove from the heat and stir in the coffee powder and dissolved gelatin until smooth; stir in the vanilla. Turn into a shallow bowl, cover with plastic wrap or waxed paper placed directly on the surface, and cool just to room temperature. 9. Assemble the roll. Using chilled bowl and beaters, whip the cream until stiff. Give the coffee cream filling a good stir and fold in about one-fourth of the whipped cream to lighten. Turn the lightened coffee filling into the whipped cream and fold together. 10. Carefully unroll the chocolate cake onto a board. Spread all of the coffee cream over it, making it thicker along the side where you will begin to reroll and leaving about 1 inch uncoated along the other long side. Reroll the chocolate cake to enclose the filling. Leave it on the board, seam side down, cover, and chill until set, at least 4 hours or overnight. Trim the ends and cut into slices. Serve cold.

Grease 3 round, 9" cake pans. Line bottoms with greased wax paper. Sift together flour, 3/4 c cocoa, baking soda, baking powder and cinnamon. Mix in buttermilk and coffee (dissolve coffee in an equal amount of hot water first.) Cream 1 1/2 c butter with the sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time until thick. Beating on low speed, slowly mix in buttermilk mixture. Beat 'til well blended. Bake about 35 minutes, or until a straw comes out clean. Remove to racks to cool. After they are cooled, put in 'fridge'. After 1 hour in 'fridge', split each in half (see note at bottom.) Wrap each layer in wax paper or plastic wrap, and freeze immediately. SOUR CREAM FILLING: Beat 3/4 c heavy cream, gradually adding 3/4 c 10x sugar until stiff. Gently fold in 3/4 c sour cream. Set aside in 'fridge' (covered.) CHOCOLATE SOUR CREAM FROSTING: Melt remaining (1/2 c) butter. Add 1/2 c 10x sugar and remaining (1/2 c) cocoa. Stir with a wire whisk over low heat until smooth; cool. Beat remaining (1 1/2 c) heavy cream; add remaining (1 1/2 c) 10x sugar until soft peaks form. Add cooled chocolate mixture; beat until stiff. Fold in remaining (3/4 c) sour cream. CONSTRUCTION: Build layers from the bottom up as follows: Cake, 1/3 the filling, cake, 2/3 c frosting. Repeat above twice, for total of six layers. Put remaining frosting on sides. Chill two hours before serving. Note: The cakes must be well-chilled before assembly, or they will disintegrate under their own weight during assembly. If the cake tops rose during baking, the layers will not stack well. You will need to slice the excess off *after* chilling, but *before* splitting into layers.

Uncover, redice heat and cook without stirring to soft-ball stage, 238 degrees. When nearing 238, there is a fine overall bubbling with, simultaneously, a coarser patter, as though the fine bubbled areas were being pulled down for quilting into the coarser ones. Remove from heat without jostling or stirring. Cool the candy to 110. You may hasten this process by placing the hot pan in a larger pan of cold water until the bottom of the pan has cooled. Add: 2 4 TBSP butter Beat fudge partially. Add: 1 tsp vanilla Then beat until it begins to lose its sheen. At this point the drip from the spoon, when you flip it over, holds its shape against the bottom of the spoon. Quickly add: 1/2 1 c. broken nut meats Pour the fudge into a buttered pan. Cut into squares before it hardens. To use fudge for centers, beat until thick, knead and shape.

Add 1/2 cup of the hot milk mixture to the egg mixture, then stir back into the pan and cook for 3 minutes, until thick, stirring with a rubber spatula. Let cool. Add the nuts, and vanilla. Refrigerate for 1-1/2 hours before filling the cake. To make the frosting, combine all the ingredients in a large mixer bowl. Beat on high speed for 1 minute, or until the frosting is light and creamy. To assemble, place 1 cake layer on a large plate and cover to within 1/4 inch of the edge with half the chilled filling. Top with another cake layer and the remaining filling mixture. Finish with the last cake layer. Frost the sides and top of the cake with the fudge frosting forming swirls on the top with a knife. Refrigerate, but bring to room temperature before serving.

When served to chocolate lovers, the only sound in the room will be faint moans of pure, unadulterated decadent pleasure. Filling: Melt chocolate with coffee on top of a double boiler. When chocolate is completely melted, remove pan from heat. Beat egg yolks until pale yellow and stir into chocolate. Gradually stir in Tia Maria. Cool mixture. In a seperate bowl, beat egg whites, gradually adding sugar until whites are stiff. Whip cream. Gently fold whipped cream into cooled chocolate mixture and then fold in egg whites.

Grease and lightly flower paper, shaking off any excess flower. Spread batter evenly in jellyroll pan. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until cake tests done. Turn cake onto a rack and peel off paper. Lightly oil a 2-quart charlotte mold and line with cooled cake. Cut rounds of cake to fit both top and bottom of mold, and a strip for sides. Place smaller round in bottom of mold. (you will probably have to piece one section of side to cover completely, but don't worry; any patchwork will be hidden by chocolate glaze.) Fit larger round of cake on top of mold. Chill for 3 or 4 hours or until firm. Unmold and cover with glaze. Melt chocolate in water and stir until smooth. Spread over top of mousse-cake and drizzle down sides. Chill again. Serve in slender slices ~- its indecently opulent. Hints: Melt chocolate in microwave. Its much faster. Instructions are on the chocolate package. A souffle dish makes a good replacement for the Charlotte mold.

Line two 9-inch round cake pans with waxed paper; butter and flour the pans; tap out any excess flour. In a mixer bowl, beat the butter until light and fluffy. Gradually add the sugar and continue beating until smooth. One at a time, beat in the eggs until well-blended. Sift together the flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Add to the egg mixture in thirds, alternating with the milk, mixing only until blended. Blend in the vanilla and liqueur. Divide the batter between the two prepared pans. Bake until the tops of the cakes are springy to the touch, 40 to 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and set on racks to cool for 30 minutes. Loosen the edges with a knife and unmold. Peel off the waxed paper. Set the cakes on a rack and let cool completely. PREPARE THE FILLING: Combine the sugar, cream, chocolate and corn syrup in a small heavy saucepan. Bring to a simmer over moderate heat, stirring frequently. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 10 minutes, or until the mixture thickens. Remove from the heat, dot the top with the butter and let cool to room temperature, about 15 minutes. When cool, stir in the butter until the fudge filling is smooth and creamy. PREPARE THE CHOCOLATE CREAM: Beat the cream and cocoa until soft peaks form. Gradually add the confectioners' sugar and continue beating until stiff. ASSEMBLE THE CAKE: Cover one cake layer with all of the fudge filling. Sprinkle evenly with the chocolate chips. Spread 1/2 cup of the chocolate cream on top of the chips. Top with the second cake layer and cover the top and sides of the cake iwth half of the remaining chocolate cream. Use the remainder in a pastry bag to decorate the cake as desired. Refrigerate for up to 3 hours before serving time. PREPARE THE SYRUP: Combine the cocoa, corn syrup, sugar and 2 tablespoons of water in a small heavy saucepan. Bring to a simmer over low heat and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Transfer the syrup to a small bowl and let cool to room temperature, stirring once or twice, to prevent a skin from forming. Just before serving, drizzle the syrup over the top of the cake in a lacy design.

This recipe can be made a week or so in advance, or so I'm told. It's more like a mousse than a cake, but it is indecently rich! Preparation: Paint outside of the ladyfingers with rum, and place flat side down, around the sides and on the bottom of a 10 in. springform pan. Melt butter in medium pan; remove from heat and add 24 oz. of the chocolate bits. Stir until melted; cool slightly. Beat the egg yokes into the mixture one at a time until all are incorporated into the chocolate. Beat the egg whites until they form stiff, not dry, peaks. Fold the whites into the chocolate mixture, and pour into the lined springform pan. Chill for at least 6 hours. Whip the cream until thickened and add the sugar and vanilla. Continue whipping until very stiff. Turn the cake onto a serving platter, removing the pan sides and bottom (the lady fingers will now be on top). Spread a layer of whipped cream over the entire cake, then pipe the rest of the whipped decoratively however you wish around the cake - be imaginative! Melt the remaining chocolate chips with the oil in a double boiler. Cool completely. Dribble the sauce down the sides of the cake. Garnish with stemmed candied cherries. Store in the refrigerator. Should make about 16 servings, or 8 - depending.... Note: If the cake is going to be displayed for any length of time, you may wish to use stabalized cream, and add 1 teaspoon of dissolved gelatin to the cake mixture. One more note: I don't know to whom the credit goes for this "slightly" fattening recipe, and I apologize for that. But I am passing it on to those of you who are in good health. If you are not in good health, you use this recipe at your own risk - 12 eggs, 2-1/2 cups of cream, 27 oz. of chocolate, 1-1/2 lb. of butter (no substitutes) - there ought to be a law!

Heat to lukewarm. Remove from heat. Pour into mixing bowl and beat about 15 minutes at medium speed, until stiff. Quickly fold in the cocoa to prevent the meringue from falling. Grease a 10" springform pan, line with parchment paper, and grease again. Pipe meringue through a pastry bag using the round tube, forming a spiral on the bottom of the springform pan, starting from the center and working out toward the sides until the bottom is completely covered.

Pour into the prepared pan and bake at 350 degrees 35 to 40 minutes, or until the cake springs back when lightly touched and a toothpick comes out clean. Cool thoroughly. Remove from pan. Mousse: Melt chocolate in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Remove pan from the heat and cool. Beat in the egg yolks, one at a time. Beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Lightly fold a quarter of the beaten egg whites into the chocolate. Fold in the remaining egg whites, lightly but thoroughly. Chill. Ganache: Heat chocolate and cream together in the top of the double boiler over simmering water until the chocolate melts. Blend well. Assembly: Spoon half the ganache over the meringue layer in the pan and smooth evenly over the surface. Cut the chocolate Genoise into two 1/4" slices, reserving the rest of the cake for another use. Place one slice over the ganache and meringue layer. Cover with about half the mousse. Top with the second layer of cake. Spoon the remaining mousse over the cake and chill until set, at least four to six hours. Just before serving, spoon remaining ganache on the cake.

Grease two 8-inch layer cake pans well, then dust then generously with cocoa. (This gives the cake layers a rich brown finish). Sift the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt onto a piece of waxed paper and set it aside. Cream the butter until it is fluffy, add the sugar and vanilla, and continue beating until the batter is silvery and light. Beat the eggs in one by one, then add the sifted dry ingredients, alternately with the boiling water, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients and beating well after each addition. Divide the batter equally between the two pans, smoothing the tops. Bake the layers uncovered for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the layers feel spongy to the touch and begin to pull away from the sides of the pans. Cool the layers upright in their pans on wire racks for 10 minutes, then carefully loosen them around the edges with a spatula and turn them onto wire racks. Cool them completely. FOR THE FROSTING: Cream the butter until it is light, then add the confectioners' sugar gradually, beating all the while. Beat in the melted chocolate and vanilla, then add just enough cream to make the frosting a good consistency for spreading. Sandwich the two cake layers together with frosting, then frost the top and sides of the cake. Swirl the frosting into peaks and valleys. Makes about 8 servings. ----- ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.00 Title: Double Chocolate Snack Cake Categories: Cakes, Chocolate, Desserts Yield: 6 servings 1 2/3 c All-purpose flour 1/3 c Vegetable oil 1 c Packed light brown sugar 1 ts Vinegar 1/4 c Hershey's cocoa 3/4 ts Vanilla extract 1 ts Baking soda 1/2 c Hershey's Semi-Sweet 1/4 ts Salt -chocolate chips 1 c Water DOUBLE CHOCOLATE SNACK CAKE Heat oven to 350 degrees.

Cook Time: Cholesterol per serving: Marks: *DIRECTIONS* *For the nicest looking shiny glaze, serve this cake on the day it is completed. The cake remains moist and delicious, however, for several days. PREPARATION: Heat oven to 325F. Butter and flour an 8-inch square or 10-inch round cake pan. Cut the 4 ounces of chocolate into small pieces and melt in the top of a double boiler set over hot water, stirring frequently. Remove pan from hot water and cool slightly. In a food processor, nut grinder or blender, grind the 4 ounces of almonds to a powder. If you use a processor or blender, put 2 tablespoons of the sugar in the machine along with the nuts. Put ground nuts through a sieve to get rid of any remaining chunks. Toss the powdered almond mixture with the flour. Separate the eggs. Beat together the butter and 1/3 cup of the remaining sugar until creamy and light. Add the melted chocolate and the extract. Add the egg yolks, one at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition. Beat the whites to stiff peaks, add the remaining sugar, and beat until glossy. Fold in nut mixture. Gently followed egg white mixture into chocolate just until incorporated. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake in a preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out almost clean, about 30 minutes. Cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Divide into individual servings if desired. Recipe can be made to this point up to a day ahead. CHOCOLATE GLAZE: Heat the chocolate and butter in the top of a double boiler set over hot water, stirring frequently, until just melted. Remove from hot water. Cool the chocolate glaze just until it thickens. It should remain pourable. Glaze whole cake or individual servings on a rack set over a pan to catch drippings. Garnish with almonds if desired.

SOUR CREAM/CHOCOLATE FROSTING: Combine the softened butter or margarine, confectioners' sugar, and sour cream in a mixing bowl; blend well. Add chocolate which has been melted and cooled and vanilla. Beat until smooth. NOTE: I have seen reference to people having trouble with their layer cakes and how they rise. Try this little trick when making this cake. Take the layer that has the least amount of rise on the top and trim it to be flat with a sharp knife. Place the trimmed side down (layer should be upside down). Then frost between layers and place the other layer on right side up and finished frosting. It will give the illusion of having a cake with only one domed layer and will sit better on your cake plate. Also the trimmings are great eating just plain for the cook or for the kids. ----- ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.00 Title: Spaceship Cake Categories: Chocolate, Cakes, Desserts Yield: 10 servings 1 Layer chocolate cake mix 1/4 c Margarine, melted 2 c Almonds, slivered 2 c Chocolate chips 5 tb Hot water 2 1/2 c Hot Fudge Sauce (can be used 1/2 c Light corn syrup -in place of last 4 Makes 10 Servings ingredients above) Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Cook Time: :15 CHOCOLATE MOUSSE CAKE: 1. Preheat the oven to 425F. Wrap the outside of an 8-inch springform pan in a double layer of aluminum foil to prevent seepage. Butter the pan and line the bottom with a round of parchment or waxed paper. Butter the paper. 2. Combine the chocolate and butter in a large metal bowl over a pan of hot - not simmering - water (the bottom of the bowl should not touch the water). Let stand, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate is smooth and melted. Or melt in a glass bowl in a microwave oven on high (100%), stopping and stirring every 15 seconds; remove the chocolate when there are still a few lumps and stir until completely smooth. 3. Put the eggs in a large mixer bowl set over simmering water and stir constantly until warm to the touch, about 3 minutes; remove from the heat. With an electric mixer, beat the eggs until they triple in volume and form soft peaks when the beater is lifted, 5 to 8 minutes. (To ensure maximum volume, if using a hand-held mixer, continue to beat the eggs over simmering water until they are hot to the touch, about 5 minutes, then remove from the heat and beat until cool.) 4. Fold half the eggs into the melted chocolate until partially incorporated. Add the remaining eggs and fold until they are just blended and no streaks remain. 5. Pour at once into the prepared springform pan and smooth the surface with a spatula. Place in a larger roasting pan and add enough hot water to the pan to reach about two-thirds of the way up the springform. 6. Bake for 5 minutes. Cover the top of the springform loosely with lightly buttered aluminum foil and bake for 10 minutes longer. Remove the cake from the oven and let cool on a rack for 45 minutes; then cover and refrigerate until chilled and very firm, about 3 hours. 7. To unmold, run a small spatula or a blunt knife around the edge and remove the side of the springform. Carefully invert the cake into a plate that has been covered with plastic wrap and remove the bottom of the springform; peel off the parchment. Reinvert the cake onto a cardboard round or a cake plate. Cover and refrigerate for 6 hours or overnight, until thoroughly chilled, before serving. 8. If you want to cover the cake with a chocolate ganache glaze, set it on a rack or tuck strips of waxed paper around the bottom of the cake. Pour the tepid glaze onto the center of the cake, letting it cascade over the sides. Run a long metal spatula lightly across the top so that the glaze will not be too thick. If necessary, use the spatula to patch any pare spots. Work quickly before the glaze sets. Prick any air bubbles with a needle or pin. Carefully remove any strips of waxed paper. Let the glaze stand undisturbed until set, 2 to 3 hours at room temperature, or 30 minutes in the refrigerator. CHOCOLATE GANACHE GLAZE: 1. In a small heavy saucepan, scald the cream. Remove from the heat and immediately add the chopped chocolate. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes; then stir gently until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Let cool until tepid. 2. Stir the glaze to test it. It is ready to use when a small amount mounds just a tiny bit when dropped from the spoon before disappearing into the mixture. If the glaze is too thick and the mound remainds on the surface, add warm water (or liqueur) by the teaspoonful, testing until the consistency is correct. If for some reason the glaze remains too thin, stir in more finely grated chocolate, heat until melted and then let cool again. Variations MINI-MOUSSE CAKE: This cake is perfect for serving 6 to 8. Make the Ultimate chocolate Mousse Cake, using 1/2 pound chocolate, 4 ounces of butter and 3 lightly beaten eggs. Bake in a 6-inch springform pan; temperature and baking remain the same.

Although the frosting mix was discontinued, Pillsbury continued to receive so many requests for the cake that the company developed a scratch recipe to simulate the original. Here it is:" 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 12-cup bundt pan or 10" angel food tube pan. Dust with flour; tap out excess. 2. In a large bowl, beat together butter and sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffly, 1 to 2 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually add 2 cups powdered sugar, beating until well blended. By hand, stir in flour, 3/4 cup cocoa, and nuts; mix until well blended. Spoon batter into prepared pan and spread evenly. 3. Bake 58 to 62 minutes. Since this cake has a soft tunnel of fudge, ordinary doneness test cannot be used. Accurate oven temperature and baking time are critical. Let cake cool upright in pan on a rack for 1 hour; then invert onto serving plate and let cool completely. 4. To make glaze, in a small bowl, combine remaining 3/4 cup powdered sugar, remaining 1/4 cup cocoa, and milk. Mix until well blended. Spoon glaze over top of cool cake, allowing some to run down sides. Store cake tightly covered. ** Nuts are essential for the success of this recipe.

Place the pan over high heat and stir constantly until the choclate is melted and the sugar is dissolved. Bring to a full boil, and lower the heat so the candy continues to boil gently, not vigorously. Stir no more. Put a candy thermometer into the center of the mixture and cook until the temperature reaches exactly 232 F. Meanwhile, butter a large platter (turkey size) and a flat pan about 11 by 13 inches. When the fudge reaches 232 F., pour it into the readied platter - do not scrape the pan, but let it drip out. Dot with 2 tablespoons butter and let the mixture cool until the platter feels cool underneath. Add vanilla. Take a large slotted spoon and start to stir the liquidy mixture - it will take about 15 or 20 minutes. You will see a steady change from dark to light color, from glossy to dull, from liquid to solid. When the fudge begins to get dull, add the nuts and mix in thoroughly. Put fudge into the large buttered pan and press into shape with the flat of your palms. Cut into squares; store in airtight container if there's any left.

Roll it into a ball in the palm of the hand until the outside of the bonbon begins to melt a little. Then roll it in grated or granulated chocolate, which will stick to it perfectly. Let stand 2 hr. before serving, but in a place that is not too cold, because these truffles are better when they are a little soft. Instead of rolling them into balls, you can also shape them to look more like truffles.

Do not stop beating. Remove from the fire and add the butter and the praline paste. Let cool, beating from time to time (this cooling takes a rather long time). When the mixture begins to solidify, take some with a spoon, place it in some grated chocolate (prepared in advance), and shape to resemble real truffles. These truffles keep a week. To keep a longer time, substitute vegetable shortening for the butter.

Add the vanilla, then the eggs 1 at a time. Add the chocolate and stir to blend. 4. Stir in the dry ingredients and the milk by hand. When just blended, mix in the walnuts. Cover and refrigerate dough for 30 minutes before rolling. 5. Preheat oven to 375 degres. Lightly grease a cookie sheet. 6. To form the cookies, scoop out a portion of dough and roll out on a well-floured surface. When dough is 1/4 inch thick, cut it into rounds or other desired shapes. Re-roll scraps and cut again. 7. Place on cookie sheet (leave room for expansion) and bake for 6 to 8 minutes. Watch for any hot spots in the oven and don't let these cookies overbrown.

Do not overbeat or the mousse will lose some of its smooth, light texture. 3. Separate 4 of the eggs and set the whites aside. Combine yolks with the 2 remaining whole eggs in the bowl of an electric mixer. Beat until eggs are thick and lemon colored, around 5 minutes. While the yolks are beating, place the 4 egg whites in a clean copper or stainless steel bowl and whisk, preferably by hand, until the whites start to stiffen. Sprinkle on the confectioners' sugar and beat until you have firm peaks. 4. Working quickly, add the cooled melted chocolate and a scoop of the whipped cream to the egg yolks. Stir until smooth, then add the remaining cream. When it is fully incorporated, add the liqueur and vanilla, then fold in the whites until just blended. 5. This mousse can be poured into small individual serving dishes or into 1 larger dessert dish. Chill at least 4 hours before serving. (Chilling it overnight intensifies the flavor.) The mousse may be frozen for up to 2 weeks. Remove from the freezer and let it sit in the refrigerator overnight before serving.

Place the pieces in a bowl and soak in hot water (about 1 cup to 6 chiles) for about an hour. Blend the chiles with the soaking water in a blender, but do not over blend. The texture should remain coarse. Place the turkey pieces in a flameproof casserole with a lid, and poach, covered, in salted water to barely cover for 1 hour. Drain, reserving the stock. Dry the turkey pieces thoroughly with paper towels. Heat the lard in a skillet, and brown the turkey pieces, a few at a time. Arrange the turkey pieces in the casserole and keep warm. Combine 2 tbs of the sesame seeds, the onion, garlic, tortilla, almonds, cloves, cinnamon, coriander seed, anise, raisins, tomatoes, prepared chiles, and chipotle chiles, and reduce, bit by bit, to a coarse puree in the electric blender. Heat the remaining lard in a skillet, adding, if necessary, a little more lard to bring it up to 3 TBS. Cook the puree, stirring constantly, for about 5 minutes. Add 2 cups of the turkey stock, chocolate, salt and pepper to taste, and the sugar, and cook, over very low heat, until the chocolate has melted. Pour the sauce over the turkey; cover; and cook over the lowest possible heat for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. The sauce should be rather thicker than the consistency of heavy cream. If it seems too thin, thin with turkey stock. Sprinkle with remaining sesame seeds just before serving. NOTE: Chipotle chile and its close relative morita chile have the most exotic flavor of any of the Mexican chiles. They are also exceedingly picante and can really lift your head off. If you do not care for hot food, experiment with the chipotle, for even in a small quantity its flavor will survive. Begin with a half chile, tasting and adding more to your mole with caution until you find the amount that suits your taste. ----- ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.00 Title: Mole Poblano De Dos Chiles Categories: Poultry, Mexican, Pork, Chocolate Yield: 6 servings 6 Mulato chiles 1/8 ts Ground cloves 6 Pasilla chiles 1/4 ts Cinnamon 8 lb Turkey, in pieces 1/2 ts Anise 1 lb Pork loin, in 2" chunks 1 lb Tomatoes, seeded, chopped 4 tb Lard 1 oz Unsweetened chocolate 1/2 c Almonds Salt 1/2 c Peanuts Freshly ground pepper 1 Tortilla, coarsely chopped 1 ts Sugar 4 tb Sesame seeds Prepare the chiles as described above in the recipe for Mole Poblano Picante. Place the turkey and pork in a large kettle with enough salted water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook, covered, for 1 hour. Drain, reserving the stock. Dry the turkey and pork pieces thoroughly with paper towels. Heat the lard in a large, heavy skillet. Brown the turkey and pork pieces, a few at a time; then transfer to a flameproof casserole. In the electric blender, blend the almonds, peanuts, tortilla, 2 tbs of the sesame seeds, cloves, cinnamon, anise, tomatoes, and the prepared chiles, and reduce to a coarse puree. Heat the lard remaining in the skillet, adding a little more if necessary, and cook the mixture for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Add 2 cups of the reserved stock, the chocolate, salt and pepper to taste, and sugar. Stir until chocolate has melted. Pour the sauce over the turkey and pork in the casserole; cover; and cook over very low heat for about 1 hour, taking care not to let it burn. Sauce should be the consistency of heavy cream, so, if necessary, thin with more stock.

Add the sugar and beat until light in color and texture, about 2 minutes. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Sift the flour with the salt and baking soda. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition. Scrape the dough onto a large piece of plastic wrap and wrap tightly. Refrigerate until the dough is firm enough to roll out, at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight. To make the filling: Combine the apple butter, lemon juice, lemon zest, and walnuts and mix well. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Divide the dough into 4 portions. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out one portion of dough to 1/8 inch thickness. (If the dough crumbles, work in your hands until malleable.) Using a 3-inch round cookie cutter, cut out rounds of the dough. Gather up the scraps to work into the remaining dough. Repeat the process until all the dough has been used. Place a rounded teaspoon of the filling in the center of half of the rounds. Brush the edges of the rounds lightly with water. Place the remaining rounds on top of the filled cookies. Using a fork, press the edges sealed. Don't worry if cracks appear in the surface. Transfer the cookies to ungreased baking sheets. Bake until lightly browned, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer to wire racks and cool completely. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar before serving. Makes about 20 large cookies.

Remove the jars and allow to air-dry and cool. Leave the lids and rings in the hot water until ready to use. Once the jars are cool enough to handle, grease them (use a pastry brush) with shortening (DO NOT use Pam or Baker's Secret); set aside. Cream together the shortening and sugar. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the applesauce and water; set aside. In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and cloves. Blend dry ingredients into the applesauce mixture. Fold in the nuts. Pour batter into the jars, filling them about 1/2 full. Place jars onto a cookie sheet or they'll fall over. Bake in a preheated 325-degree oven for 35-40 minutes or until a pick inserted deep into the center of each cake comes out clean. Remove jars from the oven, one-at-a-time (use HEAVY-DUTY MITTS, the jars ARE HOT!); place a lid, then a ring on top and screw down tightly. Place jars onto your counter top to cool. You'll know when the jars have sealed, you'll hear a "plinking" sound. If you missed the sound, test them by pressing down on the lids once the jars have cooled--they shouldn't move at all. Store jars in a cool, dry place. They should keep for about a year. I've only been able to keep them for a few weeks, they don't last that long around here. They're wonderful for last minute gifts, especially for single friends. ----- ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.00 Title: Canned Cake hints Categories: Desserts, Canned Yield: 1 servings 1 x ELLIE COLLIN CMKD93F I have a few more recipes but no time to upload them right now, I'll do that later on this evening. BTW, ANY cake can be baked in canning jars. I usually try one jar first--you have to know how much volume each recipe will give you. I usually fill ONE jar 1/2 full then bake it to see how high it rises. You don't want the cake to come out of the top of the jar, only to within 1/4 to 1/2 inch from the lip of the jar. Once you've established how high the cake rises, you can go from there. The first time around is a bit tricky because you won't know how many jars you'll need. MOST of the recipes I've tried I end up using around 8. Sterilize as many jars as you think you'll need and go from there. Also, the baking times will vary--the moistness of each cake recipe will determine the time. Again, MOST of the recipes I've tried bake in 35-40 minutes. Start checking the cakes at 30 minutes and go from there. YES, the cakes DO slide easily out of the jars IF you use the jars I listed. They're Ball Quilted Crystal Canning Jars (#14400-81400). They can be found at most grocery stores (at least here in California) next to the pectin and other canning supplies. Also, I've seen the 12 oz straight-sided (plain) jars (# ?) at Smart & Final. The plain jars work fine too but they're not as pretty and you have to make your own labels--the jars I use come with decorative labels. One IMPORTANT tip--get your jars NOW! Once summer's over with they're very hard to find. Also, when you can, ask for the jars back, they're NOT cheap. Most folks don't mind returning them though, they usually want refills! Make sure your LIDS are new, the rings don't have to be As the jars do seal, the cakes are as moist as the day you put them into the jars--sometimes MORESO. There will be a little condensation on the lids and some in the jars so when you seal them it's trapped inside. Don't worry about getting the water off of the lids before placing them onto the jars, the added moisture doesn't hurt the cakes in the slightest.

I love to shock people with the unexpected, such as serving these stuffed chayote shells for dessert. In this recipe, chayote's delicate texture and taste combine with almonds, sugar, brandy, eggs, cream, raisins and sponge cake to make an elegant pudding-like filling for the pale-green shells. They are abso- lutely delicious and something you might have been served in one of the fine old households of colonial Mexico. Cut the chayote in half lengthwise and steam for 35 minutes, or until just tender. Do not overcook--you don't want the shells to collapse when you scoop them out. Meanwhile, combine the almonds and sugar in a food processor and grind until the almonds are fairly fine. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. When the chayote is cooked and cool enough to handle, remove the seed, and scoop out the pulp, leaving a 1/2-inch-thick shell. Set aside. Place the chayote pulp in the processor with the ground almonds; add eggs and process to a puree. Add the brandy, vanilla and milk or cream. Blend. Pour mixture into a bowl and stir in nutmeg, cake crumbs and raisins. Spoon the pudding mixture into the chayote shells (you will have about 1 1/2 cups left over) and place them in a greased baking dish. Sprinkle slivered almonds and reserved cake crumbs over the tops. Bake stuffed shells for 30 minutes. Pour remaining pudding mixture into a greased loaf pan and bake for 25 minutes. Serve warm, topped with whipped cream. Serves 6 lucky people. (The pudding loaf serves 4.) Note: I cheat and buy a frozen pound cake to use for this recipe.

Dip a brush in ice water and use to wash down any sugar crystals clinging to the pan. Let boil, undisturbed, until it caramelizes. As soon as the sugar syrup turns an amber color, stir and take off heat. Pour immediately into a 9x5 loaf pan or an 8 cup ring mold, tilting pan quickly to coat the bottom and sides with the caramel. Set aside while making the custard. If using whole milk only, bring to a boil and simmer 12 to 15 minutes to reduce to 3-1/2 cups. If using a mixture of evaporated and whole milk, simply bring to a boil. Meanwhile, use the metal blade to process the sugar and orange peel until the peel is grated. Add eggs and vanilla to workbowl and pulse 3-4 times to "beat" the eggs. With the machine running, add 1 cup of the hot milk through the feed tube. Stop the machine and whisk the egg-milk mixture into the remaining milk in the pan. Pour into the caramel lined pan or mold and place in a larger pan half-filled with water. Bake the flan for 1 hour and 15 minutes in a pre-heated 350 degree oven until a knife inserted off-center comes out clean and the custard is set. Let cool, then chill at least 1-1/2 hours before unmolding. Unmold onto a deep serving platter allowing the caramelized sauce to run over the custard. Slice to serve and include some sauce in each serving. Serves 8-10. VARIATION: You can add 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (or 1/2 teaspoon ground canela) to the custard with the vanilla. You can also sprinkle 1/2 cup thinly sliced almonds over the caramel in the mold, adding quickly before the syrup has hardened. Proceed with the recipe as above. Enjoy! ~ Stephanie - P.S.

Jean's Beans by Jean Hoare page 112. BEAN PUREE Start with 1 cup of dried beans or a bit more if using large white limas and you plan to take off the skins. Extra bean puree may be frozen-it looks like mashed potato. Quick Soak - Wash beans, use 3 cups of cold water for each cup of beans and bring slowly to a boil. Boil gently for 2 minutes. Remove from heat, cover and let stand for 1 hour. Drain off soaking water. Cover with fresh cold water, bring to a boil for 10 min, reduce heat and simmer about 30 min until tender. Drain. Remove lima bean skins and discard any hard beans. Grind through a foodmill, puree in a blender or food processor. You may have to add a bit of liquid saved from the cooking process to get the mixture moving. Force the puree through a sieve about 1/4 cup at a time if you want a very smooth puree. Puree only keeps a day or two in fridge so freeze any that you are not going to use for the recipe. Preheat oven to 350F. Grease and flour the bottom only of a 9x13 inch rectangular pan. Cream butter with sugar. Add egg and beat well. Blend in bean puree and vanilla. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt, and spices. Mix with the apple, raisins, and nuts. Add dry ingredients and fruit to creamed mixture and blend well. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake 35-45 min or until cake tests done when tried with a toothpick. Mix icing sugar with enough milk or fruit juice to make a thin glaze; drizzle over the still-warm cake. Keep in the refrigerator. (My notes - I would make this again but leave off the glaze as it is quite sweet.)

Shake the pan slightly (do not stir) until all the sugar has melted. Increase the flame and let the sugar bubble and color. Pour the caramel into the mold and quickly turn it around in all directions, tipping it up in a circular motion until the surface - bottom and 2 inches up the sides - has been lightly coated with the caramel. If the caramel thickens and becomes sluggish, gently heat the mold in a pan of hot water or over low heat, depending on the material, and continue the coating action. Set aside to cool. Put the milk, salt, sugar, and cinnamon or vanilla into a saucepan and bring slowly to a boil, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Continue boiling slowly, taking care that it does not boil over, until the milk has reduced by about 2/3 cup. Set aside to cool. Place an oven rack on the lowest rung of the oven and heat to 325 F. Beat the eggs and yolks together and stir into the tepid milk. Pour the mixture through a strainer into the flan mold and place it in a hot water bath in the oven. Test after 2 hours with a skewer or cake tester; if it comes out quite clean, the flan is cooked. Remove from the oven, but allow to sit in the water bath for about 15 minutes longer.

Veal should be light golden outside and pink inside. Place veal on a warm platter. Add 1 tablespoon butter and lemon juice to skillet. Deglaze skillet by stirring to disolve meat juices attached to bottom of skillet. Stir in parsley, garlic and capers. Taste and adjust sauce for seasoning, then spoon over veal. Serve immediately. ----- ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.00 Title: TRIPE FLORENTINE Categories: Italian, Meats Yield: 8 servings 2 lb Tripe 1/2 c Beef stock 4 tb Peanut oil 1/2 c Dry red wine 2 Carrots, grated 1 ts Oregano 1/2 c Celery, chopped 1 Bay leaf, crushed 1 Yellow onion, peeled & 1/2 ts Basil Chopped Salt & pepper to taste 1/2 c Parsley, chopped 2 1" pieces lemon peel 3 Cloves garlic, crushed 1/2 c Parmesan or Romano 1 (8-oz) tomato sauce Cheese, freshly grated Parboil tripe for about 30 minutes.

Place them between sheets of wax paper and pound lightly to flatten.(use a rolling pin, bottom of a heavy skillet, pounder, etc.) Blend flour with salt and pepper to taste. Dip the meat into flour to coat lightly. Using a large, heavy skillet, heat the butter and oil and when it is very hot but not brown, add the meat in one layer. Cook over relatively high heat until golden brown on one side. Turn and cook until golden brown on the other. The cooking time should be from 4-6 min. Transfer meat to a serving platter or two plates and keep warm. To the skillet add the wine and stir to dissolve the particles in the pan. Reduce wine slightly and pour equal amounts over each serving. Naturally, these amts. may be increased to serve more people. For Chicken marsala, I don't see why you can't substitute chicken breasts. ----- ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.00 Title: Veal Marsala with Provolone Categories: Meats, Italian Yield: 4 servings 2 lb Veal cutlets 4 Mushrooms, fresh, sliced Flour 1/2 c Marsala wine Salt & pepper 4 tb Butter, cold 2 tb Butter Provolone cheese, sliced 2 tb Olive oil Pound veal cutlets between sheets of waxed paper til about 1/4" thick. Combine flour and salt & papper to taste. Dredge cutlets in the flour mixture. Combine 2 Tbsp butter with the 2 Tbsp olive oil in a large frying pan over medium high heat. Cook cutlets until lightly browned- about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove cutlets to a platter or pan suitable for use under a broiler. Place sliced mushrooms in the frying pan and cook until tender, adding a little butter if needed. Add Marsala and reduce sauce to about half of the original volume. Pre-heat broiler. Lower heat under the frying pan to VERY low, or place pan in a larger pan of hot water. Whisk in cold butter, 1 Tbsp at a time, adding each just before the last is completely incorporated. Remove sauce from heat immediately when done. Place a slice of provolone on each cutlet and broil until cheese bubbles and just starts to brown. Serve sauce alongside the cutlets, or spoon over as they are served. (This type of sauce will separate if it becomes too hot at any point- mine always does :) ). Other ideas: Use chicken in place of veal. Place a slice of prosciutto on the chicken or veal, then the slice of cheese before broiling. ----- ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.00 Title: Gyuniku Negimaki (Steak and Onion Spring Rolls) Categories: Japanese, Appetizers, Meats Yield: 8 servings 4 oz Slice Rump Steak 2 Spring Onions w/ 3" of stalk 3 tb Teriyaki Sauce PREPARE IN ADVANCE: Cut onions in half lengthwise, the cut into 4" pieces.

Spare ribs, country ribs, or any other pork Not too much fat. Cut off any gross excess, and cut them to EVEN thickness. You'll ruin everything if you cook the meat unevenly. You may compensate by scoring the meat. In a large baking pan, soak the ribs with cider vinegar, after which sprinkle them with garlic salt and finely ground black pepper. (Don't use pepper mills, or other peppers.) It doesn't seem to matter how long the ribs soak, or how much vinegar is on them. Just make sure it hits all sides, you don't have to puncture them. This sweetens the meat. The key to the fire is the hickory chips. Keep feeding these amazing little fellows to the charcoal. The flavor comes out of these chips and you cannot do without them. Make sure the fat and chips don't light up your whole dinner and ruin it. Cooking: A moderate hot fire a couple of inches or more from the meat, and a grill of reasonable cleanness. As the meat cooks turn it often, do not let it burn, do not baste it with anything. Don't cover the grill and don't stray too far -- fire is always hiding in the wings. Here is the catch -- the trick -- the hard part, is the timing. You may ruin some meals before you hit it, but the time to take them off the grill is one minute after trichina danger is past. As soon as the meat turns brown it's time to eat. You can use the small strips you cut off to judge just when things are perfect. Special Purpose Sauce: (don't eat it cold, it's awful) 1 bottle Open Pit, One bottle A-1 Sauce, 1/4 C of molasses. Start re-heating the sauce until slow boil, dump in the cold pork from the fridge. alt. without sauce wrap the meat in foil and heat at 325 oven for 15-20 minutes. Sauce can be stored and re-used, but remember it will have pork fat in it now. ----- ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.00 Title: Flavored Salt Categories: Preserving, Spices, Meats Yield: 10 servings 5 lb Sea salt 2 t Whole peppercorns 4 1/2 T Brown sugar; firmly packed 1 1/2 t Juniper berries; dried 1 ea Bay leaf; dried, crumbled 6 ea Thyme; sprigs of, leavesonly 8 ea Cloves; whole NOTE: This is for 25 lb s of any kind of meat.

Cake 1/3 c Light Corn Syrup 1 Fudge Icing (Recipe) 1 c Brown Sugar, Firmly Packed 1 Caramel Sauce (Recipe) 2 ts Butter 1 1/2 c Cashews, Roasted, Unsalted 1/8 ts Salt 2 c Heavy Cream 1/3 c Heavy Cream 2 1/2 lb Semisweet Chocolate FOR CAKE: Slice round cake layers horizontally in half to make 4 round cake layers. Place 1 layer on plate and top with Fudge Icing, Caramel Sauce and Cashews. Repeat with next 2 cake layers. Place final cake layer on top, frost top and sides of cake with Fudge Icing and cover sides of cake with chopped cashews. FUDGE ICING: Bring cream to boil. Stir in chocolate until melted and smooth. This will be very soft but will harden when cooled. Refrigerate until workable consistency. NOTE: The time it takes to get to a workable consistency depends on the weather. This is much like making fudge candy. The author, (Arlene Lightsey), made this sauce on a cool, clear day and had no problem. CARAMEL SAUCE: Bring first 4 ingredients to boil and reduce to thick syrup. Very carefully, (because it will splatter), add cream. Refrigerate until cool.

In a medium nonreactive skillet, heat the oil over moderately low heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until golden, about 4 minutes. Discard the garlic if desired. 2. Add the tomatoes, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 30 minutes. Soft bits of tomato will remain, and the sauce should be thick enough to hold its shape on a spoon. (The sauce can be made ahead and kept covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.) Stir in the basil just before serving. * Crushed, peeled garlic cloves can be discarded after browning for a very subtle flavor or left in and discarded at the end of cooking for a slightly more emphatic garlic taste. More often than not I used minced garlic and leave it in. This gives the sauce a strong garlic flavor. NOTE: Many southern Italians refer to a quick tomato sauce as "marinara" because it could be made at a moment's notice by a fisherman's wife upon her husband's return. Serve over breaded or fried foods or mixed into baked pasta dishes or spaghetti, it is the most common southern Italian tomato sauce. I like to make a simple marinara, which I can later adjust by adding sauteed onions, other fresh herbs, such as oregano, parsley, marjoram or rosemary, or by adding hot peppers.

Traditionally they are put onto a hot comal and cooked until the skin is wrinkled and brown and the flesh is soft right through--this takes about 20 to 25 minutes for an 8 ounce tomato. However, since this method is very messy, it is best to line a shallow metal pan with foil and put the tomatoes in it. Place them under a hot broiler--do not have the flame too high or the tomato will burn without cooking through--and turn them from time to time so that they cook through evenly--the skin will be blistered and charred. A medium tomato will take about 20 minutes. Blend the tomato, skin, core, and seeds to a fairly smoothe sauce. The skin and core give both body and flavor to the sauce. And never mind if the skin ~is- charred; that adds character, too. If the skin is very badly blackened and hard in places, then remove a little of it. This method of cooking tomatoes makes for a very rich-flavored sauce.

Rub tomato halves with this mixture, sprinkle with salt and freshly cracked pepper and roast in 500-degree oven until they begin to take o some serious color, about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from oven, cool to room temperature and dice. Meanwhile, grill habanero peppers over a medium-hot fire until slightly colored, 2 to 3 minutes. Temove peppers from fire and mince. Be very careful when working with this pepper. Wear gloves when mincing it, and if you get any of the juice on your skin, wash it off with a mild bleach solution, which neutralizes the capsaicin. Also, be sure not to rub your eyes while working with these peppers, and wash your hands well after you're done. These little guys are incendiary. In medium-size bowl, combine tomatoes, peppers, 1/4 cup olive oil, lime juice and cilantro, mix well, and prepare for takeoff. This salsa will keep, covered and refrigerated, about 5 to 6 weeks, mainly because no mold or bacteria would dare to come near the stuff. Yields 2 cups.

It is very "picante". However, if you use 3 chiles, it is only pleasantly picante. This sauce should have a thick, rough consistency and is used with frijoles, rice, or broiled meats. It is best eaten fresh but will keep for a few days in the refrigerator without spoiling. It does not freeze well. Roughly chop the tomatoes, add a little at a time with the rest of the ingredients to a blender jar, and blend for a few seconds with each addition until the sauce has a rough consistency. the key to salsa verde is the tomatillos (tomate verde -- NOT just a green tomato)...don't know where you're from, but if it's the west or southwest, you'll probably find them in the super...if not, they are available canned, in a mexican food section. ----- ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.00 Title: Salsa Fresca Categories: Sauces, Mexican, Spicy, Hot, Condiments Yield: 1 servings 1 lb Ripe Tomatoes 1/2 c Ice Water 1/4 c Chopped Scallions Salt 2 md Finely Chopped Jalapenos 1 ts Crushed Oregano Leaves 1 tb Fresh Lime Juice Chop the tomatoes and add to the onions and jalapenos in a medium sized bowl.

The difference between this salsa and Pico De Gallo is that this recipe calls for oregano and Pice De Gallo calls for cilantro. ----- ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.00 Title: Salsa Picante Categories: Sauces, Mexican Yield: 1 servings 2 c Tomatoes, canned, with juice 1 pn Sugar 1 sm Onion Salt, to taste 2 Chile serrano Now are we talking about the mild, Old El Paso-type green chiles (which are a mild sort of chile poblano), or are we talking about jalapenos and serranos? It makes a buncha difference. Salsa picante (which is what we mean when we talk about "salsa" down here) is made with one or both of the last two. Acting on the presumption that it's salsa picante that you mean, here's a recipe. One serrano equals two jalapenos. If you use jalapenos, removing the veins from the inside will make it less hot. Place all ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until finely chopped. Pour into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer 30 minutes. Cool slightly, pour into a pint jar, and refrigerate, or process in a boiling water bath 10 minutes (in which case reduce the cooking time the same amount). This sauce will keep three to four weeks in the refrigerator.
