Salt & pepper; to taste (1) Prepare the vegetables: Cut the eggplant, zucchini and potatoes in bite sized chunks (do not peel the zucchini or the eggplant). Remove the stems and seeds from the peppers and slice them into strips. Peel and slice the onions. Dice the tomatoes. (2) Saute' the vegetables except the tomatoes in the olive oil in small batches. Saut' each batch for 2 or 3 minutes, then remove from the pan, trying to drain some of the oil so that enough oil is left for the next batch. When you're done, most (if not all) of the oil should be gone from the pan. (3) Place the saute'ed vegetables in a baking dish and toss them briefly so that you won't get only one kind of vegetable in one place. (4) Add the tomatoes into the pan and saut' for a couple of minutes. Crush the garlic and add to the tomatoes. Add the sugar, salt and pepper to taste and simmer for another minute. (5) Pour the tomato sauce on top of the vegetables and bake at 350 deg. F or until the vegetables are tender. (6) Serve with plenty of fresh bread and, if you like, some feta cheese on the side. RATING Difficulty: easy. Time: 30-45 minutes preparation, 1 hour baking. Precision: No need to measure.

Freshly ground black pepper 1/4 c Oil

--------------------------------FOR COATING-------------------------------- Dried breadcrumbs Melt the butter (or substitute) and saute the onion and celery over moderate heat for 10 minutes until soft but not brown. Transfer to a large bowl. Drain the chestnuts and add to the bowl. Mix these ingredients together well. Mash the chestnuts, onion and celery, then mix into the bowl the chopped parsley, lemon juice and garlic. The mixture should be soft but firm enough to form into a roll, so add a few whole-wheat breadcrumbs, if necessary, especially if you're using canned chestnuts. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Preheat the oven to 400 F. Pour a little of the oil into a roasting pan and put into the oven to heat. Form the chestnut mixture into a roll about 8 inches long, pressing it together carefully, then coat it well with the dried breadcrumbs. Put the chestnut roll into the roasting pan and carefully turn it so that it is coated with hot oil. Bake for 45 minutes, until it is crisp on the outside, spooning a little more of the oil over the roll from time to time during the cooking. Serve the Chestnut Roast cut into slices.

Preheat oven to 350 F. In a large bowl or pot, combine oats, nuts, seeds, millet, flour, and salt. Mix together honey, water, and vanilla, and stir into dry ingredients. Spread on a lightly oiled baking sheet and squeeze mixture together to form small chunks, but don't crowd; the chunks need to bake clear through. Roast until golden brown, about 10 to 20 minutes. (With the larger amount of water, reduce heat and bake longer.) As it bakes the granola may need stirring to brown evenly. Cool thoroughly before storing. Variations: Replace part of the water with the freshly squeezed juice of 2 oranges (and add the grated rinds if the oranges were not sprayed with pesticides), or use 2 teaspoons orange oil. For "gingerbread" granola, use half molasses (for half honey) and add 2 teaspoons cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ginger and 1/4 teaspoon cloves.

In the same boiling water used for the snow peas, cook the pasta until tender but still chewy. Drain well and reserve about 1/2 cup of the cooking water. In a serving bowl, immediately toss the hot pasta in the sesame oil to prevent it from clumping together. In a blender or food processor, combine the remaining ingredients, starting with 1-1/2 tablespoons tamari and 1/4 teaspoon Szechuan peppercorns, with just enough of the pasta cooking liquid to create a medium-thick sauce (the consistency should be like pancake batter). Toss the sauce and reserved snow peas with the pasta. Taste and add more tamari and pepper if desired. Garnish with the cucumber and scallion, and sprinkle with sesame seasoning salt before serving.

Crumble tofu into blender. Add boiled water and salt to tofu in blender (carefully) and blend until not quite smooth. (Just a few pulses please). Dont do this in too small blender or without lid like I did once. The goal is muffins, not 2nd degree burns. Add immediately to flour and mix well. Spoon into muffin tins or cast iron stick trays and bake at 400 degrees for about 1/2 hour until golden brown. She suggests you heat oven first and place oiled muffin tins in to heat up beforehand to get a "wonderful crust". Please note, I have to oil the tins because I don't use teflon products around by birds, but this might work also.....This is not sweet bread, I serve corn potato chowder with it.

Save about 2 tsp of urad dahl and soak the rest of the urad dahl in water for about an hour. After an hour, grind the urad dahl, green chillies and ginger to the consistency of pancake batter and keep aside. In a pan, heat the 2 tsp veg oil and add the mustard seeds, 2 tsp urad dahl (that was saved), the curry leaves and the red chillies (after cutting them into fine pieces). When the mustard seeds start spluttering and the urad dahl starts turning golden brown, add 3 1/2 cups of water and the urad dahl batter, mix well and close the pan. When the water starts boiling, add salt. (The batter already added will tend to form clusters- Don't worry - Can be fixed later) Add the couscous and mix thoroughly (use a potato masher and get rid of any clusters by mashing them well). After the mixture has solidified, (This should not take more than 5-10 minutes) take the pan out of the heat and let cool.



After the mixture has cooled, take a small portion of the mixture and make into a patty and set aside. (You can use some water and/or oil to make the patties if the batter is too sticky) The amounts mentioned in this recipe should yield about 30 patties. Serve with sphaghetti sauce or any spicy chutney. WARNING: If you don't like spicy food, reduce the number of green and red chillies.

Categories: Appetizers, Greek, Vegetarian, Vegan Servings: 75 16 oz Grape leaves 3/4 c Extra virgin olive oil 3 Onions; more if desired (shredded or minced finely) 1 3/4 c Rice 1 Lemon, juiced - or more, to taste Dill; very finely chopped 1 3/4 c -Hot water 3/4 ts Salt 1/4 ts Pepper Sautee the onion with half the oil. Add the rice and let cook for a few minutes. Add the dill, the hot water and salt and pepper. Boil for about 5 minutes. Let it cool. Steam the grape leaves and rinse with plenty of water in a collander. Wrap the rice mixture with the grape leaves. This is the most difficult and time consuming part, although after you are through it a couple of times you enjoy it the most. It is better if two people work on it simultaneously, talking, joking etc. You want to make them small in size (about 1-2 inches.) Do not hesitate to cut big leaves in half. Discard the central stem of these leaves and if you can reduce (with a sharp knife) any other tough stems it would be good. You want to wrap the rice very tightly. You place the rice in one end, fold from the short end and the two sides and then roll while pushing the rice downwards to pack it really tight. You have to do it a couple of times to understand. If they are not tightly packed they will unroll later. Also be careful to wrap totally, do not leave any holes. You arrange the dolmadakia in a casserole, tightly. Make more than one layers. Add the lemon juice, the rest of the olive oil and 1 1/2 cups of hot water. Cover them with a plate or something to keep them in place. Let them simmer for 35 minutes. Serve then cold, with strained yogurt or taramosalata. Enjoy. Georgios

Add the onion and scallions and saute for about 5 minutes, until soft and transparent. Add the garlic and cook for a few minutes, then add the rice, dill, parsley, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and remaining 1/4 cup olive oil. Stir well, then add the hot water. Cover and simmer about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool. Meanwhile, carefully remove the grapevine leaves from the jar, leaving the brine in the jar. Wash grapevine leaves thoroughly and drain, then with a sharp knife cut the heavy stems from the leaves. (If using fresh grapevine leaves use the same procedure, parboiling leaves for 5 minutes when not tender, then drain.) Line an enameled pan with a few heavy grapevine leaves and set aside. To stuff a grapevine leaf, put it on your working surface rough side up and stem end near you, and place a teaspoonful of the rice mixture near the stem end. Using both hands, fold the part of the leaf near you up and over the filling. Then fold the right side of the leaf over the filling, then the left side, and roll tightly and back away from you and toward the pointed end of leaf. Place the "dolma", seam side down, in the prepared pan. Continue stuffing grapevine leaves until the mixture has been used. (If any grapevine leaves remain, replace in the reserved brine for future use.) Place an inverted plate on the dolmades, then add enough water to cover the



dolmades (about 1 to 1-1/2 cups). Bring to a boil, then cover the pan, lower the heat, and simmer as slowly as possible for 1-1/4 hours, then taste one to see if the rice is tender, and continue cooking slowly if necessary. Cool, then chill. Serve cold, as an appetizer or as an entree. Note: An important variation, particularly in Macedonia and Thrace: add a few tablespoons of raisins and pine nuts to the filling when adding the rice. Also, you may vary the size of dolmades as you wish by adding 1-1/2 teaspoons of the filling. However, be consistent to allow them to cook at the same rate. They may be stored in the refrigerator for a week or so. Source: "The Food of Greece" by Vilma Liacouras Chantiles. Avenel Books, New York.

Fill the bowl of a tablespoon w/batter and use a second spoon to scoop it into the oil. It may help to oil the spoon, but I



haven't had any problems. Don't fry more than four at a time because they get done in less than a minute and if you leave them longer they'll burn and the fat content will skyrocket. Drain and serve. For the tomato sauce I recomend your basic homemade tomato sauce w/o any bay leaf but some extra red wine. Figger it out for yourself.

Using ingredients available locally, primarily in the shops along Gerrard just west of Coxwell, she wowed the classes with her masterful teaching, attention to detail and wonderful aromatic dishes. She also proved how good and easy Indian cooking can be. ... Jaffray taught us how roasting, crushing and grinding bring out different qualities in a spice. Crushing mustard seeds, for example, brings out their heat but tossing them 'til they pop in hot oil calms the heat and brings out a sweet nuttiness. Black mustard seeds, the finest mustard seeds are essential and inexpensive ingredient, found in Indian groceries." Trim and peel and grate carrots. In a bowl, toss with salt and set aside. In a small heavy pan over medium heat, heat oil. When very hot, add mustard seeds. As soon as the seeds begin to pop, in a few seconds, pour oil and seeds over carrots. Add lemon juice and toss.

Add the coconut milk and bring to boil. Reduce the heat. Cook until the beans are tender, 1 to 2 hours. Add the thyme, garlic, green onion, and salt. Add the hot pepper if desired. Simmer for a few minutes. Add the rice. The liquid should come up to 1-inch above the rice. Add water if needed. Cover the pot. Bring to a boil again. Reduce the heat to low. Cook for 15 minutes (for regular rice) to 20 minutes (for parboiled). It should not be necessary to add more water, but if to much liquid boils away, replace it with boiling water. The rice is ready when the liquid disappears and the grains of rice are separate. Stir just before serving to evenly distribute the red kidney beans. Makes 4 to 6 servings. NOTE: For coconut milk, crack 1 mature coconut with a hammer, cut off the brown shell, and grate the coconut meat. Into a bowl, add



the coconut meat and 6 cups of water. Mix well, then squeeze to extract as much liquid as possible. Press through a sieve and use as directed above. Etoria says his preferred method to separate the coconut meat from the brown shell is with a butter knife ("or the dullest knife you have") to prevent cuts. Slip the knife between the white flesh and the shell, and it should come away easily.

The recipe works well without either. I made this one up when I couldn't be bothered to follow a recipe, so I'd be interested to know what you think of it. It is also nice with a crumble topping - I use an ordinary wholemeal crumble mix and add sunflower seeds to it, or cashew nuts, to give it a slightly nutty taste. Preparation: chop the onions into 2cm pieces and finely dice the : mushrooms. Add all the vegetables to a casserole dish, then add the spices, chickpeas, yoghurt and white wine. If possible leave to marinate for a couple of hours to let the vegetables absorb the taste. Microwave on high (650w oven) for 15 minutes, or longer if you want the vegetables to be soft rather than crunchy - say 20 minutes.



Serve with Biryani rice - I use brown rice with lentils, almonds, sultanas and a mixture of vegetables such as carrots and broccoli.

---------------------------------TA'LEYA II--------------------------------- 2 lg Onions 1/4 c Olive oil 1 Garlic clove (or more) -- finely chopped This is classed as an 'oil' dish by Coptic Egyptians and is prepared during periods of fasting when animal products cannot be taken. You may cook the lentils, macaroni and rice simultaneously in 3 pots, or if, like me, you like to keep pots to a minimum, use the method given. This is the way they prepare it in Egypt anyway. Place lentils in a sieve and wash well under running water. Place in a large pot and add 3 cups water and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 1 hour until tender but still intact. Drain and keep aside. Clean same pot and add 4 cups water. Bring to the boil, add 2 teaspoons salt and the macaroni. Stir constantly until water returns to the boil and cook, uncovered, for 15 minutes until tender. Stir occasionally. Drain and keep aside. Clean pot again and dry. Wash rice well in sieve under running water and drain. Heat oil in pot and fry rice over medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Add 2 cups water and 1 teaspoon salt and bring to the boil, stirring occasionally. Cover and simmer over low heat for 15 minutes or until tender. Leave covered off the heat for 5 minutes for grains to separate. Prepare the ta'leya (directions below), add tomato puree and bring to the boil. Add lentils and macaroni to cooked rice and toss together lightly with a fork. Pour hot ta'leya and tomato mixture on top, toss again and cover pot. Leave over low heat for 10 minutes. Serve hot.

In a large pot, bring the water to a rolling boil. Add lentils & cook for 20-25 minutes until the lentils start to puree. Drain & let cool. It is not necessary to let them get cold. Transfer the cooked lentils to a large mixing bowl. Add bread crumbs, garlic & onion & mix thoroughly. Season well. You then can experiment with herbs & spices. I usually add loads of cajun spice, with healthy measures of parsley, basil & majoram. You could try thyme or sage. It is your choice. If the mixture does not hold together well enough, add more bread crumbs. Form into patties & then cook as you would a regular hamburger in a little oil. Or barbecue. If they are really dry, then they hold together well



enough to barbecue. Serve in buns with old fashioned dijon mustard & chips ooops, errrr fries.

Makes between 4 to 6 servings, depending on the size of patties you make and the hunger of participants. Note: uncooked burgers may be individually wrapped and frozen. Part 1: Bring lentils and water to a boil in saucepan. Lower the heat, and simmer, partly-covered, 30 minutes, or until lentils are soft, and liquid is gone. Place in large-ish bowl. Add vinegar, and mash. Part 2: Saute remaining ingredients, except for wheat germ, together over medium-low heat 10 to 15 minutes, or until all is tender. Add to the mashed lentils, and mix well. Add wheat germ and mix again. Chill for about 1 hour. The Burgers:



1. Make 4-inch patties from chilled burger-mixture. For freezing, make patties, place wax paper between each patty and stack; wrap well and freeze (or wrap individually). 2. Fry burgers in butter until brown, *or* broil about 8 minutes on each side. Try putting sesame seeds in pan to keep burgers from sticking to pan, if it is a problem. 3. Serve either as patties, or as burgers in a whole-wheat bun. Good with cheese melted on top, basil sprinkled on each burger is tasty also.

In a small, heavy bottomed saucepan, bring the coconut milk to a gentle simmer over a low heat. Cook, stirring gently,until the coconut milk is fragent and it's oil glistens on the surface (about 6-8 mins) 2. While it simmers, combine the bean sauce and half of the shallots in a mortar. Using a pestle, mash the mixture to a chunky paste. 3. When the coconut milk is ready add the shallot paste and stir well. Add all the vegetables except the cucumbers, cabbage,green beans and the remaining shallots. Cook for five minutes 4. Add the sugar and simmer until the shallots wilt and the sugar melts, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tamarind and taste the sauce, which should be a balance of salty, sour and sweet. 5. Transfer the sauce to a small bowl and place it on a plate, garnished with the cucumbers, cabbage wedges and green beans. Serve warm or at room temperature. Shared by Kaz Glover

Categories: Rice, Main dish, Vegetarian, Mark's Servings: 4 4 c Cooked rice 1 lg Onion, finely chopped 2 ea Garlic cloves, minced 1 lg Carrot, scrubbed & diced 1 md Green pepper, diced 1/2 c Frozen corn &/or peas 1 ea 3" piece ginger root, sliced 1/2 ts Chili pieces Soy sauce Salt & pepper, to taste Ensure that the rice has been cooked ahead of time & is well cooled. Heat about 2 to 3 tb vegetable oil in a wok. When hot, add onions & garlic & fry for 3 minutes. Add the carrots & stir-fry for 2 minutes. Add the rest of the vegetables & continue to stir-fry for 2 or 3 minutes. Toss in the chili pieces & ginger root. Cook for a few seconds. Carefully stir in the cold rice. Lower heat & continue to cook, stirring occasionally for 5 minutes. Add enough soy sauce to coat the rice & cook for a further 5 minutes on low heat, stirring often to prevent sticking. Season if desired with salt & pepper. Serve when heated through. This goes great with spicy tofu dishes or works well on its own as a main dish in its own right. If you desire something hotter, add more chili pieces. Use pieces rather than powder because they are hotter. For a variation, I sometimes toss in a few strips of tofu just before adding the spices.

Servings: 4 2 tb Sunflower or other veg. oil 2 md Onions; chopped 4 1/2 oz TVP granules 1 c Hot water or vegetable stock 1 1/2 c Breadcrumbs 1/2 tb Mixed herbs -(such as parsley, sage, - rosemary and thyme) 1 tb Freshly chopped parsley 2 Garlic cloves; crushed 1 Egg (or egg replacer) - (beat egg if using) 2 tb Soy sauce Salt and pepper to taste

-----------------------------------SAUCE----------------------------------- 32 oz Canned chopped tomatoes 6 oz Tomato paste Salt and pepper to taste Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large saucepan, heat oil and saute onions until lightly browned. Add the TVP mince, stir and cook for two minutes. Pour the hot water or stock over the saute and simmer for four minutes. In a separate bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, herbs and garlic together with one cup cold water. Stir in the egg and leave to one side for ten minutes. Combine the cooked TVP mince with the breadcrumbs mixture, then add the soy sauce. Stir well and season to taste. Using your hands, shape the mixture into an oval mound and place it in the center of a large baking dish, leaving plenty of space all around for the tomato sauce to run. Heat the tomatoes, tomato paste and seasoning in a small saucepan, and pour over the loaf, then bake for one hour. Serves 6. JTK's notes: I usually add more herbs & chopped garlic, and saute chopped vegetables like celery, carrots, and/or mushrooms after onions are done but before adding TVP. Hot sauce is a good addition, too, or other flavored



sauce like veg. Worcestershire. The egg replacer works fine --- not sure if it's even necessary. Also, I make the tomato sauce differently (sometimes I use canned/jar or homemade frozen sauce, and I prefer canned whole tomatoes, pureed, to prechopped ones), but it doesn't matter much. I make breadcrumbs from whatever bread is available, preferably wholewheat (lightly toasted for dryness) --- doesn't matter much either. Cracker crumbs would probably do as well, if you don't have bread around or a food processor/blender. I've made 1.5x recipe into a single loaf OK, but larger wouldn't work (would have to make separate loaves, if larger quantities are desired) makes 1 loaf, approx. 6x10" (fits comfortably into a 9x13" pan with a couple inches margin around for sauce --- see above).

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, turning them every few minutes. They will take 10 to 20 minutes, depending on how fresh the bread is. Assemble the cucumber, peppers, green onion and parsley in a large bowl; leave out the tomatoes for now. Prepare the dressing: Stir the lemon juice, salt and garlic together until the salt dissolves. Add the pepper, cinnamon and allspice, then slowly beat in the olive oil. (May be prepared up to 12 hours ahead to this point.) Place the cut up tomatoes on top of the other vegetables. Pour on the dressing and toss well; add the croutons and toss again (see note).

Place slices on a bed of Bibb lettuce with vegetable garnishes and a light, creamy salad dressing. ************************************************************ Rinse the millet and put it in a medium saucepan with the water and 1/2 teaspoon sea salt. Cook the millet, covered, over medium heat for about 30 minutes or until soft; the millet should absorb all of the water. (If the grains are too moist, the loaf will not bind properly.) Saute the carrots, celery, onions, and garlic in oil for 6 minutes, or until the onions are translucent. Add the seasonings, including the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt. Mix the cooked millet and the vegetables together, along with the nuts or seeds, if you wish. Mix the two flours together and add them to the millet mixture, blending it well so the loaf will hold together. Lightly oil and flour a large loaf pan. Press the millet mixture into the pan and bake in a preheated oven at 400 degrees F for about one hour. (If the millet mixture is warm when you put it in the pan, reduce the baking time to about 45 minutes.) Allow the loaf to cool for 10 minutes, then carefully remove it from the pan. To avoid breaking the loaf, you may wish to slice it while it is still in the pan. Source: Friendly Foods - by Brother Ron Pickarski, O.F.M. ISBN: 0-89815-377-8 Typed for you by Karen Mintzias

Salt & pepper; to taste Combine grains in a mixing bowl and set aside. Pour the oil into a 2-3 qt. casserole which is safe for both stovetop and oven cooking, and place on med. heat. When hot , saute onion and garlic until tender and translucent, about 5-6 mins. Add the mixed grains and saute for 1 min., stirring constantly. Meanwhile melt butter or margarine (if using) in a separate pan on med. high heat. When hot , add mushrooms and saute quickly, stirring frequently, until the shrooms are hot and have just absorbed the "butter" (about 1 min.). Immediately remove from heat. Add the broth, herbs, and mushrooms to the casserole with the onions and grains, and bring to a boil. Season with salt and pepper to taste, cover tightly (use aluminum foil between pot and cover if necessary for a good seal), and bake at 350 degrees F for 1 hr. NOTES: I use alot less oil (only as much as needed to keep things from sticking in my cast-iron dutch oven), add hot peppers and fresh herbs (rosemary is especially delicious; i dislike dried oregano so i use less or none), add soy sauce instead of salt, and saute the mushrooms first in the same pan (taking them out when done) so i dont have to wash two pans :^>. Frankly i can't see where they get 8 servings from, this lasts me maybe 3 meals....It's really a hearty dish, so save it for a cold day (some of us still have a few left, despite the advent of spring).

Add the frozen peas, defrosted first, to the steamed vegetables. In a blender, while it is running, drop in the chilies. Add the chick peas, nuts & seeds & process until the peas are mashed. Some vegetable water may facilitate this. Add the cauliflower, potatoes, fresh peas, if using, & beans. Pulse on & off till they are coarsely mashed. Transfer to a mixing bowl, add the steamed vegetables, salt, pepper, turmeric & garam masala. Mix well. Divide into portions. Line a baking sheet with waxed paper. Flatten a portion into an almond shaped cutlet, 1/2 inch thick & place on the sheet. Cover & refrigerate for 30 minutes. Whisk the soy milk, cornstarch & flour in a flat bowl until smooth.

Mash and strain into a separate pot. Add the rice, salt, and spices, and mix well. In a pan, saute the chopped onions in oil until golden. Add them with the frying oil to the lentils and rice. Bring the mixture to the boil with enough water to cover and simmer over low heat for about 10 minutes, until the rice is cooked, stirring regularly to prevent sticking. Serve lukewarm or cold with radishes and spring onions or a cabbage salad. That's the recipe straight from the book. I make a couple changes: first of all, I'm a bit liberal with the cumin and allspice - I don't use measuring spoons, and I'm sure I get more than the 1/4 or 1/2 teaspoon. Bhar, btw, is described by the book as "a spice blend made of cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg. It is very similar in flavor to allspice, which may be substituted for it." I use brown basmati rice, so I have to boil it for more than 10 minutes; this means I have to keep adding water to it so it doesn't dry out. I mean to go back to the restaurant I first had this dish at and ask them what spices they use, since theirs is both spicier and darker than mine.

I do everything separately, then mix it all together because my food processor is not big enough to do it all at once.



Serve as a sandwich spread, or on crackers. This recipe makes *a lot*. I think it freezes well, just stir well after it thaws, and make sure the lentils and green beans are well drained. Serve with crackers or make sandwiches with it. This recipe makes quite a lot of spread. From: [email protected] (Tracy E.

Drain and set aside. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the oil, reheat an add onion. Stir-fry 10 seconds and add snow peas and wood ears. Stir-fry another 10 seconds and add salt, sugar and water. Bring to rapid boil, stirring constantly, and cook until peas are just tender crisp. Add reserved fried potato slices, heat through and serve. Wood ears are a type of mushroom or shelf fungus. When soaked it has a crunchy, gelatinous texture with little taste. If you can't find them, I imagine that you could use the dried mushrooms although they wouldn't give exactly the same effect. A



closer substitute would be dried jellyfish, but if you're some- where that sells dried jellyfish, I'm sure that they have wood ears as well...

This shouldn't be a problem, but for a broke person cooking for nine @someone else's apartment, these harware problems have a nasty way of only becoming apparently an hour before mealtime. (sigh) CIMA MIX: (makes 4 1/2C Bro Ron suggests using the extra for 'meatballs' or something. Far be it from me to argue w/my hero, but remember to use a big enough skillet.)



Saute onions in oil until translucent. Remove from heat. Add bread crumbs, tofu, seitan, soy grits, nut yeast, water and seasoning. Mix until evenly dispersed. Add vegs and nuts. In a separate bowl, mix agar and gluten flour. Heat lecithin and stir into veg mixture, then stir in flour/agar mixture.

----------------------------FOR THE TOMATO SAUCE---------------------------- 1 1/4 lb (generous) canned tomatoes 1 lg Onion 1 tb Olive oil Garlic, bay, rosemary, thyme -- (or herbs of your choice) Bring 1-3/4 pints salted water to the boil. Reduce the heat to low and add the grain as though you were making porridge: let the polenta trickle slowly through your fingers and stir the contents of the pan very vigorously all the time to prevent lumps forming. Cook over the gentlest possible heat for about 20 minutes, stirring more or less continuously - like porridge and semolina, polenta is a great sticker. The mixture is ready when it begins to come away from the sides of the pan, is perfectly smooth and so thick that your wrist aches from stirring. Away from the heat beat in 1 tablespoon oil, the stoned olives if using them, and some salt and pepper. Use the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to grease the interior of an 11-12 inch frying pan. Turn the polenta into the frying pan, pack it down smoothly and level the top with an oiled spoon. Set aside for a couple of hours until the polenta is cold and solid. Loosen it with a palette knife, turn it out of the pan and cut into 6-8 wedges. To make the sauce, chop the onion finely and sweat it in the oil for 10-12 minutes. Add the roughly chopped tomatoes and their juices, several cloves of finely chopped garlic and a little bouquet of rosemary, bay and thyme, or plenty of well-flavoured herbs of your choice. Let the mixture bubble away gently for 40 minutes or so, just stirring occasionally, until reduced to a rich and fragrant sauce. Remove the bouquet of herbs, season with salt and pepper and add extra fresh chopped herbs to taste. Fry the wedges of polenta in very hot olive oil or unsalted butter, or a mixture of the two, for 4-5 minutes on each side until lightly crusted and heated right through. Serve piping hot with the garlicky tomato sauce, and with a bowl of olives or grated Parmesan if you wish. In the Veneto polenta sometimes accompanies small silvery fried fish, or a dish of Fergato alla Veneziana. Quail or other tiny game birds threaded on to skewers and cooked on a spit, or a saute of chicken livers, and grilled sausages, are other good choices but polenta can be served on its own just as well.

Saute the carrots, onions, celery, and garlic, along with the salt, pepper, and basil, for about 8 minutes. Cut the stewed tomatoes into small pieces and add them to the vegetables, along with the 4 cups of water. Bring to a simmer. Then add the corn grits and kidney beans and mix well. Cook for about 20 minute, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. (The polenta may take longer than 20 minutes to cook. Check by tasting. It should have a soft, gritty texture.) Lightly oil a 2-quart mold and press the polenta into it, working out any air pockets. Smooth out the surface and allow it to cool to room temperature. Refrigerate the mold until it is cold. Then unmold the polenta onto a tray, garnish it, and serve it in slices. NOTE: If you are using cornmeal instead of corn grits, it is best to soak the cornmeal separately, in 2 cups of cold water; add the remaining 2 cups of water to the vegetables and then combine the two mixtures. VARIATION: Millet Polenta Use 2 cups of millet and 5 cups of water in place of the corn grits and the 4 cups of water.

While they are boiling, boil split peas in 3 cups water with a sprinkling of salt for 15 minutes. Remove from heat & drain very well, ensuring that you get rid



of all the excess water. Set aside in a covered bowl. In a skillet, add the oil & heat over a medium flame until it is very hot. Add the fenugreek. When they change colour, add onions & fry for 2 minutes, till the onion starts to brown. Add parsley, green chili & stir another 2 minutes. Next, put in the split peas, a little more salt if desired & cook, stirring for 5 minutes or until you are sure that all the water has evaporated. The mixture should become one lump. Cover & set aside. Peel & mash the potatoes with a fork or hand masher, do not use an electric beater otherwise your patties wil lnot hold together when cooked. A few lumps will remain, but get it as smooth as you can. Add somec salt & mix thoroughly. Divide the potatoes into 12 balls & do the same with the split pea mixture. Flatten each potato ball in you hand, put one portion of the split pea mixture in the centre. Roll up into a ball again & flatten once more into a patty. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. To cook the patties, you need very little oil & some patience so as not to lose the crust to the skillet when you turn them over. Coat the bottom of the skillet with a small amount of oil. Cook no more than two patties at any one time in each skillet. Cook for 7 minutes, gently turn over & cook for another 7 to 8 minutes. The patties should be reddish brown on each side. Keep the heat fairly low otherwise they will burn. Serve with chutney.

The recipe was from Linda Najjar of Seattle, Washington, and the "Herb Companion" note on it said: "Substituting quinoa for the traditional bulgur wheat gives this tabouli a lighter, fluffier, and slightly nutty taste and enables people allergic to wheat to experience the flavorful joys of this Middle Eastern dish."

Drain the soaking water. Put the beans and all the rest of the ingredients into a large cooking pot. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce to moderate-low heat and cook for about 1 hour, until most of the water is absorbed. Add more water if you need to, and stir the beans every 10 minutes or so.



When the beans have 1/2 hour to go, make the rice. Put the rice and water in a saucepan, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and cover. Simmer until all the water is absorbed, about 30 minutes. Then turn the heat off and let sit, with cover on, about 10 minutes. To serve, serve the beans over the rice. Serve with sliced avocado (aguacate), fried plaintain chips (platanos fritos), and cornbread (served fried like hush-puppies).

Salt 3/4 c Tahini 1 tb White vinegar 1 Lemon; juiced 1/2 c -Water 1/2 ts Ground cumin 1/2 c Chopped parsley Crush garlic cloves with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Place tahini in mixing bowl and beat well. This preliminary beating reduces the strong flavour of the tahini. Beat in garlic and vinegar. Gradually add lemon juice alternately with water. To make a cream salad of good consistency add enough lemon juice to make the tahini very thick before adding water. This way you have more scope in adjusting the flavour and consistency of the sauce. Add salt to taste, and more lemon juice if a sharper sauce is required. Blend in cumin and parsley and chill until required. Serve as a mazza or as directed in recipes.

Add salt & mix. Add 1 cup of water a little at a time until you have a firm dough. Knead the dough well for 10 minutes or until the dough is elasticy & smooth. Form inot a ball, brush with a little oil, cover with a damp towel & set aside. To make the filling: Boil the potatoes & let them cool. You may peel them if you like,I choose not to. Dice them into bite-sized pieces. In a wok or very large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. When very hot, drop in the asafetida. 5 seconds later, add the fennel & cumin seeds. A few seconds later add in rapid succession the mustard seeds & fenugreek. As they begin to change colour & pop, add the chilies. As soon as the chilies swell & darken, add the potatoes, turmeric & salt. Fry gently, carefully turning the potatoes so as not to break them. Fry for 15 to 20



minutes until the potatoes are unevenly browned. Add lemon juice & mix well. Check the salt. Remove potatoes from the wok, place in a serving dish & crush coarsely with the back of a slotted spoon. Divide the dough into 28 to 30 equal balls. Flatten each ball & roll it out on a floured surface until it is approximately 4 inches in diameter. Cut each round in half. Taking one semicircle at a time, moisten half the length of the cut edge with a finger dipped in water. Form a wide cone with the semi-circle, using the moist section to overlap 1/4 inch & hold it closed. Fill samosa 3/4 full with stuffing. Moisten the inside edges of the opening & press it shut. Seal this end by pressing down on it with a fork as you would a pie crust. Do all the samosas this way, keeping them moist in a plastic wrap or under a damp towel until you are ready to fry. (I find that I save a lot of time & anguish by frying them as I go). Heat the oil for deep frying in a wok. When the oil is hot, slide in 3 or 4 samosas, be careful not to overcrowd. Fry until the samosas are brown on all sides, about 2 or 3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon & drain on paper towels. Repeat until you have 60 samosas. The oil should be hot, but do not use a high heat otherwise they will burn. Serve samosas hot with a sweet chutney or tamarind paste. They can be frozen & re-heated in a 300F oven.

Hot sauce (optional) Great for brunch or a light supper dish, this recipe can easily be doubled to serve 4 to 6. Silken tofu results in a very soft-cooked texture, while soft tofu will be slightly firmer. NOTE: Tumeric will give a faint yellow color to the mixture, but will not contribute significantly to the taste. DIRECTIONS: In a large skillet or wok, heat the oil and saute the onion, garlic, and white of scallions until the onions turn light brown, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms, red pepper, tofu, oregano, and tumeric (if using), and continue to saute over medium-high heat for another 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in the scallion greens, olives, nori (if using), soy sauce and pepper to taste. Pass optional hot sauce. Source: Recipes from an Ecological Kitchen - by Lorna J.

Knead the dough by hand on a breadboard or tabletop, until it has the consistency of an earlobe, or by machine until the dough forms a ball that follows the path of the hook around the bowl. You may need to add a little extra water or flour to achieve the desired consistency. Kneading with take about 10 to 12 minutes by machine. Allow the dough to rest in a bowl of cold water for about 10 minutes. While the dough is resting, prepare the stock. In a large pot, bring to boil 3 quarts of water. Add the tamari, ginger, and kombu, and cook for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool. This stock must be cold before it's used. (The cold liquid causes the gluten to contract and prevents the seitan from acquiring a bready texture.) You will be using this stock to cook the seitan later.



To wash out the starch, use warm water to begin with. Warm water loosens the dough and makes the task easier. Knead the dough, immersed in water, in the bowl. When the water turns milky, drain it off and refill the bowl with fresh water. In the final rinses, use cold water to tighten the gluten. If you wish, save the bran by straining the water through a fine sieve; the bran will be left behind. Save the starch by allowing the milky water to settle in the bottom of the bowl; slowly pour off the water and collect the starch, which you can use for thickening soups, sauces, and stews. When kneading, remember to work toward the center of the dough so that it does not break into pieces. After about eight changes of water, you will begin to feel the dough become firmer and more elastic. The water will no longer become cloudy as you knead it. To make sure you have kneaded and rinsed it enough, lift the dough out of the water and squeeze it. The liquid oozing out should be clear, not milky. To shape the seitan, lightly oil a 1-pound loaf pan. Place the rinsed seitan in the pan and let it rest until the dough relaxes. (After the dough has been rinsed for the last time in cold water, the gluten will have tightened and the dough will be tense, tough, and resistant to taking on any other shape.) After it has rested for 10 minutes, it will be much more flexible. Seitan is cooked in two steps. In the first step, the dough is put into a large pot with about 3 quarts of plain, boiling water. Boil the seitan for about 30 to 45 minutes, or until it floats to the surface. Drain the seitan and cut it into usable pieces (steaks, cutlets, 1-inch chunks, or whatever) or leave whole. Return the seitan to the cold tamari stock. Bring the stock to a boil, lower temperature, and simmer in the stock for 1-1/2 to 2 hours (45 minutes if the seitan is cut into small pieces). The second cooking step may also be done in a pressure cooker, in which case it would take between 30 to 45 minutes. To store seitan, keep it refrigerated, immersed in the tamari stock. Seitan will keep indefinitely if it is brought to a boil in the tamari stock and boiled for 10 minutes twice a week. Otherwise, use it within eight or nine days. VARIATIONS: Instead of boiling the seitan in plain water and then stock, let the seitan drain for a while after it has been rinsed. Slice it and either deep-fry or saute the slices until both sides are brown. Then cook it in the tamari stock according to the recipe.



Seitan also may be cooked (at the second step) in a broth flavored with carrots, onion, celery, garlic, tamari, and black pepper, which will give it a flavor similar to pot roast. Shiitake mushrooms may also be added to the stock. Source: Friendly Foods - by Brother Ron Pickarski, O.F.M.

Knead it until it is elastic when pulled (about 8 to 10 minutes). Allow the dough to rest for about 5 minutes in a bowl of cold water. Wash out the starch by filling a large bowl (1-1/2 to 2 gallons) with warm water and kneading the dough in it, underwater. When the water turns white (after 1 to 2 minutes), drain it through a strainer, adding the floury residue back to the ball of dough. Keep kneading, washing, and changing the water, until no more starch is given off. This may take as many as eight rinses, about 20 to 25 minutes. Pour 6 pints of water into a large pot. Add the tamari, onion, kombu, ginger, and dough, and simmer for about 3 hours. (To speed up the



cooking, you could cut the dough into small pieces, each about 1-1/2"; the pieces would cook in about one hour.) The seitan is properly cooked when it is firm to the touch and when it is firm in the center. You can check by cutting into the seitan. If it is not done, it will feel like raw dough in the center.

Cut the seitan into four thin pieces (1/8 to 1/4 inch thick), each about 2 ounces. The thinner the better. Fry the seitan in a (little?) hot oil until lightly browned and then simmer it in a little water for about 30 minutes before using. If you don't simmer it first, you may need to add more liquid to the recipe. Saute the onions and garlic in the oil until the onions are soft and translucent but not fully cooked.



Place the seitan in an ovenproof baking dish and cover it with tamari, apple juice concentrate, and water. Cover with the sauteed onion mixture and sprinkle the ground pecans over it, if you wish. Fan the apples over the onions and pour the mirin on top. Cover the dish with a tight-fitting lid or aluminum foil, and bake at 300 degrees F for 2 hours. Serve hot.

Prepare like a vinaigrette dressing. The dry mustard will be the emulsifier for the oil and vinegar.

-----------------------------------PASTRY----------------------------------- 1 1/2 c All-purpose flour Extra flour for rolling 1 ts Sea salt 1 ts Baking powder 5 tb Olive oil (about) 1 tb Sesame seeds Start by making the pastry. Sift the flour with the salt and baking powder. Mix in about 6 tablespoons water, a little at a time, until the dough is gooey, but not wet. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil, plus another teaspoonful, and a little more flour, if needed, to make a cohesive mass. Knead the dough for 5 to 10 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Cover it and set aside to relax for an hour or two. For the filling, separate the curly endive leaves, so the vegetable will cook in the same time. Steam the spinach and endive together in a large pan, in the water clinging to the leaves, plus just an extra 1/2 cup. Turn the leaves over occasionally, so they wilt evenly. When they are wilted, but not mushy, drain them in a colander, pressing firmly with the back of a wooden spoon to remove as much excess liquid as possible. (Reserve the liquid for use in soup, or drink with a squeeze of lemon juice, as the Greeks do.) Saute the scallions in 2 tablespoons olive oil, until barely soft. Add a few tablespoons of water if they stick to the pan. Roughly chop the cooked spinach and curly endive and finely grate the zest from the lemon. Then toss the cooked vegetables with the scallions, parsley, dill, lemon zest and 1 tablespoon lemon juice, salt, and pepper, adding 3 tablespoons olive oil. Set aside until you are ready to fill the pastry. Choose an ovenproof earthenware or glass baking dish 2 to 2-1/2 inches deep and about 2-quart capacity and brush the inside with oil. Divide the pastry into two unequal parts, and then again into halves. On a floured surface roll out one of the larger pieces of pastry. This should be large enough to line the dish, coming up and over the sides - this should make it very thin. Fit it into the baking dish and brush it with olive oil. Do the same with the second piece of pastry, placing it on top of the first, and brush again with olive oil. Sprinkle the tablespoon of rice or cracked wheat over the bottom, to soak



up excess juices, and fill with the spinach and herb mixture. Roll out the remaining two pieces of pastry, separately, to fit the top of the dish. Place the first on top of the spinach, brush with olive oil, then place the second on top of that. Prick the pastry with a fork in an attractive pattern and brush the entire top with olive oil. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake in an oven preheated to 350 F for 45-50 minutes, until golden brown.

Chop coarsely and put into a large pan. Cover and place over heat for 7-8 minutes shaking pan now and then or turning spinach with a fork. Heat just long enough to wilt spinach so that juices can run out freely. Drain well in colander, pressing occasionally with a spoon.



Gently fry onion in olive oil for 10 minutes, add chopped leek and spring onions and fry gently for further 5 minutes until transparent. Place well-drained spinach in a mixing bowl and add oil and onion mixture, herbs and nutmeg. Blend thoroughly, adding salt and pepper to taste. Place a sheet of fillo pastry on work surface and brush lightly with olive oil. Top with 3 more sheets of pasry, brushing each with oil. Brush top layer lightly with oil and place half the spinach mixture along the length of the pastry towards one edge and leaving 4 cm (1-1/2 inches) clear on each side. Fold bottom edge of pastry over filling, roll once, fold in sides then roll up. Place a hand at each end of roll and push it in gently like a concertina. Repeat with remaining pastry and filling. Place rolls in an oiled baking dish leaving space between rolls. Brush tops lightly with oil and bake in a moderate oven for 30 minutes until golden. Serve hot cut in portions.

---------------------------GINGER-TAMARIND SAUCE--------------------------- -Tamarind residue from above 1/2 c -Boiling water 1/2 ts Cornstarch 1 tb Shredded fresh ginger Put the tamarind in a nonmetallic bowl. Add 1/4 cup boiling water and let it soak for 30 minutes. Mash the pulp and extract as much juice from it as possible. Pour all liquid into a bowl, and save the fibrous residue for making the sauce. Slit the eggplants lengthwise to within 3/4 inch of the stem end so that each eggplant remains in one piece.



Measure out the spices and place them right next to the stove in separate piles. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large frying pan or skillet over medium-high heat for 1 minute. Add the garlic and fry for 30 seconds. Add the coriander, cinnamon, and cloves; fry for 15 more seconds. Stir in the coconut and cayenne pepper; continue frying, stirring, until lightly toasted (about 2 minutes). Turn off the heat and stir in the salt, tamarind liquid, and molasses, and mix well. Stuff the eggplants with the spicy coconut mixture. Secure them by wrapping thread around them. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the same pan over medium-high heat. When it is hot, add mustard seeds. Keep a pot lid handy, as the seeds may spatter and fly all over. When the seeds stop spattering, add the eggplants in one layer. Fry the eggplants, turning them often, for 3 or 4 minutes. Reduce heat to medium or medium low and cook them, covered, for 10 to 12 minutes or until they are soft and cooked through. Turn off heat. Transfer them to a serving platter, pour Ginger-Tamarind sauce over them, and serve immediately. GINGER-TAMARIND SAUCE: Put tamarind residue in a nonmetallic bowl, add 1/2 cup boiling water, and let soak for 30 minutes. Mash the residue and extract as much tamarind essence as possible, squeezing it hard, into a bowl. Discard the fibrous residue. Put tamarind water in a nonmetallic pan along with cornstarch, mix well and bring to a boil. Cook for 2 minutes. Turn off heat and stir in ginger shreds. Note: For a hotter flavor, stir 4 chopped hot green chilies into sauce.

Steaming blends flavors. Stores up to two weeks in fridge. Makes 2.5 cups. JTK's notes: I accidently used wheat bran instead of germ, and it still worked (kind of dry, though). I made this in a 2-qt. porcelain souffle dish, which it filled approx. 2/3. I didn't have savory so I substituted fresh thyme. As usual, I added more garlic & hot sauce. Mash tofu very well, or you will have lots of tofu lumps --- I think I might try blending this in the food processor next time, to avoid this problem. This was enough for maybe 4 days of lunches for me (pate on 4-5 Wasa breads/rice cakes per day).

Michael Pandya, "Indian Vegetarian Cooking" ----- -------------[ http://cookcity.blogspot.com ]---------------------- Title: Spinach Cooked in a Bihari Style Categories: Vegetables, Vegetarian, Vegan, Indian Servings: 4 1 1/2 lb Fresh spinach - washed and trimmed



1/2 ts Freshly grated fresh ginger 1 Garlic clove; mashed 1/2 ts Minced fresh hot green chili -(very finely minced) 1/2 ts Salt 2 tb Very finely minced cilantro 2 tb Mustard oil This dish, traditionally made with mixed greens such as spinach and mustard, resembles an Italian pesto, though it is much thicker in consistency. In place of olive oil, mustard oil is used, and apart from the taste of the greens themselves, the other strong flavors include raw garlic, raw ginger, green chilis, and cilantro. If you can't obtain the pungent golden mustard oil which is called for in this recipe (available in Chinese as well as Indian groceries), steep 1/2 teaspoon powdered dried mustard in 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. In Northern India, this dish is eaten at room temperature for breakfast, along with fried bread and tea. While raw garlic may seem alarming first thing in the morning, Indians consider it a medicinal necessity, and many swallow a crushed clove every day. DIRECTIONS: ========== Bring 4 quarts of water to a rolling boil in a large pot. Add spinach and cook on high heat for 1 to 2 minutes, or until wilted. Drain, rinse under cold water, and squeeze out as much liquid as you can easily. Put spinach in food processor or blender with 2 tablespoons water and blend until smooth. This will result in a fairly thick paste. Put in a serving bowl. Whisk together ginger, garlic, green chili, salt, cilantro, and oil. Pour this dressing over the spinach and mix thoroughly.

-------------------------------SAGE DRESSING-------------------------------



1/2 c Finely diced onions 1/2 c Finely diced celery 1/2 c Finely diced carrots 2 Garlic cloves; minced 2 tb Unrefined corn oil 1/2 ts Ground sage 1/4 ts Dried basil 3 tb Vogue Vegy Base 1 ts Sea salt 1/8 ts Black pepper 1 c Water 2 c Cubed dry whole wheat bread This is a superb substitute for the traditional Thanksgiving turkey. It's also good for other times of the year! It's really the dressing that carries this dish. The corn oil gives it that wonderful buttery taste that poultry dressing usually has. DIRECTIONS ========== Wash the tofu, pat it dry, and cut it into small pieces. Put the tofu, arrowroot, soup base, salt, pepper, and agar flakes in a food processor and blend to a smooth paste. Oil and flour the loaf pan (or line it with baking liner paper after oiling). Spread a layer of tofu paste inside the pan, lining the bottom and all four sides. (Spread only a thin layer on the ends.) Use all but about 1 cup of the paste. Firmly but gently press the dressing into the pan, on top of the tofu paste "liner". Try to avoid displacing the tofu. Cover the dressing with the remaining tofu, carefully sealing the edges. Cover the pan with foil, making certain the foil doesn't come in contact with the tofu. (The tofu will eat into the foil.) Bake in a preheated oven at 350 F for 30 to 40 minutes. Then remove the foil cover, glaze the top of the loaf with the dissolved barley malt syrup, turn the oven up to 450 F, and continue baking for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and allow the loaf to cool for about 10 minutes. Unmold, slice, and serve hot with a sauce of your choice. SAGE DRESSING: Saute onions, celery, carrots, and garlic in oil for 5 minutes. Add the sage, basil, soup base, salt and pepper, and continue cooking 5 minutes longer.



Add the water and bring to a simmer. Stir in the bread crumbs and cook for a few minutes. Then remove from heat. Source: Friendly Foods - by Brother Ron Pickarski, O.F.M.

1 1/2 ts Salt Freshly ground white pepper

----------------------------------FILLING---------------------------------- 3 lg Onions; halved & sliced 2 tb -Water 1/4 ts Ground allspice 1/2 ts Ground cumin 1/3 c Pine nuts 1/3 c Currants 3/4 c Tahina Salt Freshly ground black pepper

----------------------------TO FINISH AND SERVE---------------------------- -Boiling, salted water Olive oil Ground cinnamon or paprika Lemon wedges Parsley sprigs Serves: 8-12 Cooking time: 35 minutes Soak chick peas in the cold water for 24 hours, in a cool place if weather is warm. Remove the skins by taking a handful at a time and rubbing with the palms of both hands so that the chick peas actually rub against one another. Drop back into bowl and take up another lot. Skim off the floating skins as they accumulate. (Dang, why not just leave the skins ON, this sounds like too much trouble! -KM) Drain well. Pass the skinned chick peas through food grinder twice, using fine screen. Alternatively, place in food processor container in 2 lots and process to a paste (NOW you're talking! -KM) Peel skin from boiled potatoes and mash finely with a fork. Combine with ground chick peas, add salt and a good grinding of white pepper. Blend thoroughly and keep aside. Put sliced onions in a pan with the water, cover and steam over medium heat for 10 minutes, then remove cover and leave until moisture evaporates. Turn into a bowl and cool.



Add allspice, cumin, pine nuts, and currants to the onion. Blend well, then mix in tahina, and salt and pepper to taste. Take 4 pieces of unbleached calico or similar cloth, each about 50 cm (20 inches) square and scald in boiling water. Cool a little, then wring out well. Open out a square of cloth on work surface and put a quarter of the chick pea paste in the centre. Spread evenly with a spatula to a 20 cm (8 inch) square and place a quarter of the filling in the centre, spreading it a little. Bring each corner of the paste over the filling by lifting up corners of cloth. Paste should enclose filling in envelope fashion. Smooth joins to seal well. Make a single tie with each pair of diagonally opposite corners of cloth, then tie a second time. Complete another 3 topigs in the same way. Half fill a large pot with water, bring to the boil and add about 1 tablespoon salt. When briskly boiling, lower prepared topigs into pot and return to the boil. Cover and boil steadily for 12-15 minutes or until topigs float and feel firm to the touch. Lift out immediately and place on a tray, draining off water in tray. Untie and invert topigs onto platter. Leave until cool. When ready to serve, pour a little olive oil over each topig and dust lightly with cinnamon or paprika. Garnish platter with lemon wedges and parsley. To serve, cut each topig in half, then slice in thick pieces. Olive oil and lemon juice are added to individual taste. NOTE: Ready-skinned chick peas are available at some Armenian and Greek food stores. These look like split peas, but are larger and nut coloured.

----- -------------[ http://cookcity.blogspot.com ]---------------------- Title: Tuscan Bread Categories: Breads, Italian Servings: 1 1 oz Fresh yeast; -=OR=- 2 pk -Instant dry yeast granules 1 1/4 c Warm water (125F) 2 1/4 c Unbleached white flour 1/4 c Whole wheat flour IN A LARGE BOWL, DISSOLVE the yeast in the water. Mix the 2 flours and stir them in to make a soft dough. Knead 10 minutes by hand, or 4 minutes in a heavy duty mixer with a dough hook. Oil a clean bowl and set the dough in it, cover tightly with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled in bulk. (In the traditional warm place, this will take about 2 hours. However, a cooler temperature will do as long as the dough has enough time to rise, including overnight in the refrigerator.) If the dough is ready sooner than it is needed, punch it down and refrigerate it or let it rise slowly again at room temperature until ready to use. Rub 2 to 3 tablespoons flour into a lintless dish towel and set the towel on a baking sheet. When the dough has completed its rising, punch it down, turn it out onto a floured work surface, and flatten it into an oblong about 8 inches wide, 10 inches long, and 1/4-inch thick. It will still be very soft, but try to use a minimum of additional flour in handling it. Roll the dough tight, jelly-roll fashion, into a cylindrical shape. Flatten this to about 1-inch thick and roll it again. (This activates the web of gluten that will keep the loaf from flattening out in the oven.) FOR A ROUND LOAF, tuck both ends of the cylinder under to meet in the center, pinching to seal them. Roll the dough around the work surface under your hands, to shape it into a smooth ball about 5 inches in diameter. FOR AN OBLONG LOAF, roll the dough under your hands into a fat cigar shape, extending it to about 10 inches in length. Set the loaf on the floured towel and fold the ends of the towel loosely around it. Put the covered loaf, on its baking sheet, in a warm place to rise for 1 hour. Preheat an oven lined with baking tiles to 400F. Have a water-filled sprayer handy. Slide your hand under the towel, pick up the loaf, and gently deposit it upside down on the tiles. Spray water into the oven before closing the door, and spray twice more at 2-minute intervals. Bake for 50 minutes or until golden brown. The bread should have a hollow



sound when you knock on its bottom.

When hot, put in mustard seeds. As soon as the mustard seeds begin to pop (this takes just a few seconds), put in the onion. Stir and fry for about 5 minutes or until onion turns brown at the edges. Add the garlic and ginger. Fry, stirring, for about 1 minute. Turn heat to medium-low and add the mung beans, rice, string beans, mushrooms, garam masala, ground coriander, and salt. Stir and saute for about 10 minutes or until rice turns translucent and vegetables are well coated with oil. Add 4 cups hot water and the minced parsley. Turn heat to a medium-high flame and cook, stirring, for about 5 minutes or until most of the water is absorbed. (There will be an inch or so of water at the bottom.) Cover the pot first with aluminum foil, crimping and sealing the edges, and then with its own lid. Place in heated oven for half an hour. Fluff up with a fork and serve.

3/4 c Wild rice 1/2 ts Salt 1/2 c Hazelnuts 5 tb Currants 1 lg Orange, juice only Citrus Vinaigrette - with Hazelnut Oil - (See RECIPE) 1 sm Fennel bulb - cut into small squares 1 Crisp apple Freshly ground black pepper Salt PREHEAT OVEN TO 350F. Rinse the wild rice, and soak it in water for a half hour, then drain. Add 4 cups fresh water and salt, and bring to a boil. Cook, covered, at a simmer until the grains are swollen and tender, but still chewy, about 30 to 35 minutes. Pour the cooked rice into a colander and let it drain briefly. While the rice is cooking, toast the hazelnuts in the oven, 7 to 10 minutes, or until they smell toasty. Let them cool a few minutes; then rub them in a small kitchen towel to remove most of the skins. Don't worry about any flecks of skins that won't come off. Roughly chop the hazelnuts, leaving the pieces fairly large. Rinse the currants in warm water and squeeze them dry; then cover them with the orange juice and let them soak until needed. Prepare the vinaigrette. Add the soaked currants and the fennel to the warm rice, and toss with the dressing. Just before serving, cut the apple into small pieces, add it to the rice, along with the hazelnuts, and toss. Season with freshly ground black pepper, and additional salt, if needed, and serve.

2 Celery ribs; finely chopped 1 c Wild rice; rinsed 1/3 c Dried, peeled chestnuts 1/4 c Dried currants 2 ts Aniseed 1/4 ts Sea salt; or to taste 4 c Water 1 ts Finely chopped orange zest -OR- grated PRESSURE COOKER: Heat the oil in the cooker. Add the shallots and celery and cook, stirring frequently, until softened slightly, about 1 minute. Stir in the rice, chestnuts, currants, aniseed, salt, and water. Lock the lid in place and over high heat bring to high pressure. Lower the heat just enough to maintain high pressure and cook for 25 minutes. Allow the pressure to come down naturally or use a quick release method. Remove the lid, tilting it away from you to allow any excess steam to escape. If the rice or chestnuts are not quite cooked, return to high pressure for a few minutes. Drain (reserving the liquid for stock) and return to the pot. Cover and let steam over low heat for a few minutes to dry out. Fluff up as you stir in the orange peel. Break up chestnuts into 2 to 3 pieces with a fork, if desired. STANDARD STOVETOP: Soak the chestnuts overnight. Drain and reserve the water. In a heavy 2-quart saucepan, heat the oil. Add the shallots and celery and saute for 1 minute. Add the chestnut soaking liqiud plus enough water to equal 3 cups and bring to a boil. Stir in the rice, reserved chestnuts, currants, aniseed, and salt. Return to the boil, cover, reduce heat, and simmer until most of the grains have butterflied and almost all the liquid has been absorbed, about 50 minutes. Let stand, covered, off heat for 10 minutes. If there is still liquid left in the bottom of the pot, lift out the rice with a slotted spoon. Source: Recipes from an Ecological Kitchen - by Lorna J.

Title: Wild Rice Crepes Categories: Main dish, Vegetarian, Vegan Servings: 4 -----------------------------------CREPES----------------------------------- 2 tb Egg replacer (or arrowroot) 1 1/2 c Water 1 c Soy milk 1 ts Salt 4 tb Oil 2 c Flour 1/2 Garbanzo flour

----------------------------------STUFFING---------------------------------- 3/4 c Wild rice, uncooked 2 3/4 c Stock 1/4 md Onion; minced 2 sm Stalks celery; sliced thin 2 tb Unrefined corn oil 3/4 md Onion; chopped coarse 1/4 lb Button mushrooms - sliced thick 6 Shiitake - fresh or reconstitued, - quartered or eighthed 1/2 Oyster mushrooms -OR- chanrerelles mushrooms -If using oysters, separate -them into small clumps, -if using chanterelles, -halve them 1 lg Tomato; chopped 1/2 ts Powdered sage 1 pn Powdered thyme 1 tb Shoyu Salt and pepper; to taste

-----------------------------NUTTY ALMOND SAUCE----------------------------- 3 tb Unrefined corn oil -OR- soy margarine 4 tb Unbleached flour 2 1/2 c Soy milk; heated



1/2 c Almonds 1/4 md Onion; separated into leaves 4 Cloves White pepper; to taste 3 ds Freshly grated nutmeg Salt; to taste FOR CREPES: Blend the egg replacer w/1/2C water until smooth. Add remaining ingredients and blend one minute at high speed. Heat a crepe pan or non stick 8" skillet over low heat, brush the bottom lightly w/oil (I use unrefined corn oil). When pan is heated, take it off the burner, let cool about three seconds and pour 3-4T batter into it. Swirl the pan so the bottom is coated w/a thin layer of batter. Put the pan back on the burner and cook until lightly browned. Flip the crepe and cook until that side is lightly browned as well. Repeat w/remaining batter. This makes about a dozen crepes. Note that you will inevitably screw up the first crepe or two, but it will become fairly routine after that. Don't worry about it, I still do that after all these years. FOR STUFFING: Saute the onion in a little dry white wine for a minute or two, then add wild rice and stock, cover tightly, bring to a boil, turn heat to low and cook about an hour, until all liquid is absorbed. While the rice cooks, saute celery in oil until slightly tender, add onions and all mushrooms, and saute until all vegs are medium tender. Add cooked rice, tomato and seasoning and cook another ten minutes or so. Fill crepes w/the mixture, roll them over it and heat in a preheated oven at 350 for about ten minutes. Serve w/Nutty Almond Sauce and garnish w/parsley and a twisted orange slice. FOR NUTTY ALMOND SAUCE: Toast almonds until golden, then pulverize. (Don't overgrind or you'll get almond butter.) Heat oil a few minutes in a heavy bottomed skillet, then stir in flour and cook 2-3 minutes on low, until fragrant. Stir in soy milk and continue to stir until it begins to thicken, then stir in seasonings. Cover and cook 10 more minutes, but stir often to prevent scorching. Stir in almonds and cook another 4-5 minutes.



Serve w/a simple spinach salad w/mustard vinaigrette and French bread, along w/a chilled white wine. From _The_Now_and_Zen_Epicure_ by Miyoko Nishimoto, Summerville, TN, The Book Publishing Co, 1991.
