Chestnut & Rice Savoury

December 29th, 2009

1 sm Onion

1 tb Vegetable oil

1 sm Tomato

1 c Mushrooms

1/2 c Brown rice, cooked

2 oz Dried chestnuts

2 tb Water

1 ts Yeast extract

1 ts Tomato paste

Cover the chestnuts with boiling water and leave them to soak for several hours, then cook them until tender. (If the chestnuts are soaked in warm water in a wide-rimmed thermos flask, or in a warm cupboard, them may be tender enough not to require more cooking.) Chop the onion and saute it in the oil in a saucepan for about 3 minutes. Skin and chop the tomato. Slice the mushrooms. Add them to the pan and cook for a further 3 minutes or so. Add the rice and chestnuts to the pan and stir well. Then add the water, yeast extract and tomato paste. Mix together very thoroughly as it heats up so that the yeast extract is amalgamated evenly into the mixture. Continue cooking over a gentle heat until all the ingredients are well heated. * Source: The Single Vegan – by Leah Leneman (ISBN: 0 7225 1454 9) * Typed for you by Karen Mintzias

Pasta with Meatballs

December 10th, 2009

2 c Peeled fresh plum tomatoes

-or canned Italian plum -tomatoes. 4 tb Butter

2 sm Onions, chopped fine

1 Clove garlic, chopped fine

4 sl Bacon, cooked and crumbled

Salt and black pepper 1/2 c Marsala

1/2 ts Dried oregano

1/2 lb Vermicelli

1 c Fresh grated Parmesan or

-Romano cheese ———————————MEATBALLS——————————— 1/2 lb Ground chuck

2 sl French bread, moistened

-with 1/2 cup milk and -squeezed dry 1 tb Minced parsley

2 Eggs, lightly beaten

1/4 c Grated Parmesan cheese

Salt and ground pepper 3 tb Vegetable oil

Here’s the recipe I made the other night with the nice pasta sauce. The meatballs were mediocre, mainly because I’d never made meatballs before that I can remember. The sauce, on the other hand, was very tasty. For the pasta I used rigatoni++the first type of pasta I made with the new machine. Serves 4 to 6. 1. Put the tomatoes trough a food mill to puree pulp and remove

seeds. 2. In a large skillet or medium saucepan, melt half the butter and

cook the onions9on until soft. Add the garlic, tomato puree, and crumbled bacon. Then add salt and pepper to taste and boil this sauce hard for five minutes. 3. Add the marsala and oregano, and cook for another 5 minutes. Set

aside. 4. Put all the meatball ingredients except the vegetable oil in a

bowl, and mix with your hands. Shape the mixture into 12 balls, and in the skillet brown them on all sides in the vegetable oil. Do not overcook, they will cook further in the sauce. Add the meatballs to the tomato sauce and keep warm. (You can brown the meatballs ahead of time and add them to the sauce when you are ready.) 5. Cook the pasta until al dente, drain well and return to the pot in

which it cooked. Add remaining butter and toss well. Add several large spoonfuls of the tomato sauce and toss well again. Transfer pasta to a large serving platter or bowl. Pour sauce and meatballs overall, serve and pass the cheese. Wine: A chianti classico From The Joy of Pasta, Joe Famularo and Louise Imperiale. Baron’s Educational Series, Inc., N.Y. 1983.

Vanilla Chip Biscotti

November 25th, 2009

1 1/2 c All-purpose flour

1/4 c Cornstarch

1/2 ts Baking powder

2 Eggs

3/4 c Sugar

1 tb Vanilla extract

1 ts Fresh lemon juice

1/8 ts Salt

1/2 c Vanilla chips

Vegetable oil cooking spray Recipe by: Cuisinart 1. Combine first 3 ingredients in small bowl; reserve.

2. Place eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and salt in large

mixing bowl. Mix at low speed and gradually increase to medium. Mix until thick and smooth, about 3 minutes. 3. Add dry ingredients to egg mixture in 3 additions, mixing on low speed

for 30 seconds after each addition. 4. Add chips and continue mixing on low speed until just incorporated,

15-20 seconds.

5. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease baking sheet. Divide dough in

half ; place each half on baking sheet and shape into 10 x 3-inch rectangle. (***I was able to get both of mine on the same sheet. The recipe says to put one on each of two sheets.***) 6. Bake for 12-14 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out

clean. (Top should not be brown. Do not overbake or biscotti will be too dry). Cool on baking sheet 10 minutes. 7. Cut each rectangle crosswise into 10-12 slices (about 3/4-inch wide).

Place cut side down on baking sheet. Bake for 11-13 minutes or until crisp.* Remove from baking sheet and cool on wire rack. *If chips brown too much near the end of the baking period, turn oven off and leave biscotti in oven as it cools for remaining 3-5 minutes, or until crisp. Note: For best results, store biscotti in an air-tight container. May also be frozen; defrost before serving. Good news: calories 89; sat. fat. 1 g; total fat 2 g (18% of calories) —–
