Apple Crisp

2011-05-10T08:36:54Z

Valerie:

*10 c all-purpose apples, peeled, cored and sliced
*1 c white sugar
*1 T all-purpose flour
*1 t ground cinnamon
*¾ t ground nutmeg
*¼ - ½ c water
*2 c quick-cooking oats
*2 c all-purpose flour
*2 c packed brown sugar
*1 c butter, melted
*½ t baking powder
*½ t baking soda
*3–4 T molasses

1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

2.Place the sliced apples in a 9x13 inch pan. Mix the white sugar, 1 T flour, ground cinnamon and nutmeg together and sprinkle over apples. Pour water over apples and spices.

3.Combine the oats, 2 c flour, brown sugar and melted butter. In a separate bowl, mix together the baking powder, baking soda and molasses. Allow to rise for 3-5 minutes. Add to the oat mixture and mix together thoroughly. Crumble evenly over the apple mixture.

4.Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for about 45 minutes.

This can be made without the molasses. However, the reaction between the molasses and baking soda and powder allows the crumb mixture to harden further.

Mabu Dofu

2007-09-10T03:20:33Z

Valerie:

=='''Mabu Dofu'''==

'''Ingredients'''
* 1 bundle green onions (6), minced
* 3 t ground ginger
* 3 t ground garlic
* 1 T sesame oil
* 1-2 lb hamburger
* 9 T red miso
* 1 t Tobanjan
* 6 T shyoyu
* 5 T sugar
* 3 T ketchup
* 3 c consume soup
* 4 T cornstarch, liquidized
* 2-3 firm tofu, diced

'''Instructions'''
Stir fry onions, ginger, and garlic in oil, about one minute. Add hamburger, cook until crumbly; drain. In a separate bowl, mix together miso, Tobanjan, shyoyu, sugar, ketchup, and soup. Add to the above dish, bringing to a boil. Add cornstarch and boil until thick. Add tofu, stirring gently until tofu is heated through.

'''Notes'''
Tobanjan is the spice used to season this. It is VERY powerful so only ever add a little bit at a time. Look for it at your local asian grocer. If they don't have it, we can always send you some.

Over here, we actually have an instant mix for consume soup. In America, Dad used chicken bullion instead.

The tofu that you would use in this dish generally comes in two varieties, firm and soft (sometimes called silk). Hopefully, your tofu packaging is all in English, but if in doubt, look at the tofu. The soft tofu will appear very smooth whereas the firm tofu will have little grid marks on it left from the cheesecloth-type material it is pressed into when it is made. They might even have yakidofu (grilled tofu). This can be used as well seeing as it is firm tofu that has just been grilled a little bit on the outside. Tofu will, naturally, have the characteristic grill marks on it.

=='''Chinese Pork and Peppers'''==

'''Ingredients'''
* 1/2 lb pork, julienned
* 1/2 t salt
* 1 T sake
* cornstarch, dry
* 150 g bamboo, julienned (3/4 c)
* 2 green peppers, julienned
* 1/3 c water
* 2 T shyoyu
* 1 T mirin
* 1 T sake
* 1/2 T sugar

'''Instructions'''
Marinate pork in 1/2 t salt and 1 T sake for 15 minutes. Pat in cornstarch. Stir fry pork. Add bamboo. After well heated, add sauce, heating till boiling. Add peppers, heating till barely soft.

'''Notes'''
Easy way to cut pork is to freeze it first. Just be sure that it is thawed by the time you marinate the pork. Also, for simplicity's sake, look for canned julienned bamboo, or at least canned bamboo shoots.

Meatloaf

Valerie:

=='''Ma's Meat Loaf'''==

'''Ingredients'''
* 1-1/2 lb ground beef
* 1 cup dry or soft bread crumbs and 1-1/4 c milk
: (OR 3 slices bread, torn, and 1 c milk)
: (OR 3/4 c oatmeal and 1 c milk)
* 1 egg
* 1 small onion, chopped (1/4 c)
* 1 T Worcestershire sauce
* 1-1/2 t salt
* 1/2 t dry mustard
* 1/4 t pepper
* 1/4 t ground sage
* 1 clove garlic, crushed

'''Instructions'''
Mix all ingredients together.

'''Bake''' at 350 degrees for 1-1/2 hours until done. Baste meatloaf with glaze (below) during the last 30 minutes, every ten minutes or three times.

'''Notes'''
For a leaner option, prepare meatloaf as directed. Instead of placing in a pan, place a wire cooling rack on top of 9"x13" pan. Form the meatloaf into a very tight, firm loaf. Gently place on top of wire rack, making sure that the pan underneath is larger than the meatloaf. Do not press down too firmly once it is on the rack or it will start to fall through. Bake as directed. As it bakes, the fat will drip down and collect in the pan below.

'''Glaze'''
* 1/2 c ketchup
* 3 T brown sugar
* 2 t prepared mustard
* 1/4 t chili powder

Mix. Glaze as directed.

Cucumber Soup

=='''Cucumber Soup'''==

'''Ingredients:'''
* 2 cucumbers, peeled, seeded and chopped (270g)
* 2 T sliced green onion
* 2 T butter
* 1 T red wine vinegar
* 4 c chicken broth
* 1 T farina
: Or 1/2 large potato, chopped
* Salt and pepper to taste
* 1/2 t+ dried dill ''or'' tarragon
* 1/2 c sour cream
* 3 T chopped fresh parsley
* 1/2 c cream or yogurt

'''Instructions:'''
In 3-quart saucepan, cook the chopped green onion in butter until soft. Add chopped cucumber and wine vinegar (if using a potato instead of farina, add now). Saute 1 minute. Pour in broth, farina (if using), salt and pepper, and dill or tarragon. Simmer for 20 minutes or until vegetables are soft.

Place in blender, blend into a puree.

Pour into bowl, whisking sour cream. If soup is too strong or vinegary, add milk or yogurt to taste.

Can be served hot or cold. Garnish with cucumber slice and parsley.

'''Note:''' This soup can have a bit of a bite from the vinegar, so be sure to have the milk or yogurt to taper it with. I prefer to make this recipe with dill, but it would taste fine with tarragon as well.

Farina is a thickener similar in nature to cornstarch, but is made from potatoes. In this recipe, using an actual potato will have a very similar effect, acting as a thickening agent in the soup. Cornstarch could also be used in a pinch. Just like cornstarch, mix farina in water until smooth before adding to the recipe.

Creamed Spinach

=='''Creamed Spinach'''==

'''Ingredients:'''
* 2 c very lightly boiled spinach, barely chopped
* 2 T butter
* 1 T+ onion, chopped
* 1 bell pepper, diced (red, yellow or orange)
* 1/2 lemon's zest
* 1 T flour
: Or 2 T browned flour
* 1/2 c hot cream
* 1/2 t sugar
* 1 T garlic butter
* Grated nutmeg, to taste

'''Instructions:''' Saute onions in plain butter until tender. Set aside. Mix lemon zest, flour, cream, sugar, garlic butter, and nutmeg over medium heat. When sauce is hot and smooth, add spinach, pepper, and onion. Heat through, serve.

'''Notes:'''
Browned flour really is what makes this recipe extraordinary. Browned flour is roasted white flour. As far as I know, you can't buy browned flour. To make browned flour, place flour in hot skillet with no grease or oil. Slowly, over medium heat, stir the flour. After several minutes the flour will start to get darker and brown in color. You know the flour is done when it is a nice light maple color. It should be darker than oak, but lighter than chestnut brown. The flour will have a roasted, nutty, deep flavor to it. Note that browned flour has half the thickening power of regular flour, so if a recipe calls for 3 T flour, you would use 6 T browned flour. Flour can also be browned in a oven set on a low temperature for about 20 minutes, stirring every so often. Watch to make sure the flour does not get to dark otherwise it will have a burnt, bitter taste to it. Browned flour can be used in place of regular flour in any recipe, so make up about a cup's worth and store it in a tupperware. Not to be used in baking.

Generally, I am not a creamed spinach fan. I like food with texture. I dramatically altered this recipe; the original called for the spinach to be blended, so instead I barely chop it. This is a fun recipe to make too, especially for the holidays, because it is so colorful. The mix of the colors of the spinach, the golden onions, and the vibrant bell peppers really makes a statement at the dinner table.

In order to not over boil spinach, just follow these simple steps. Wash spinach and set aside. Bring about 4 cups of water to boil, turn off heat. Place spinach in a bowl, pour water over spinach - just enough to cover. Cover with a lid or a plate and set timer for 5 minutes. Halfway through, turn the spinach over so the topmost spinach is now on the bottom. When the 5 minutes are up, immediately run spinach under cold water or place in strainer in a bowl of ice water. Make sure that the cold water penetrates all the way to the center of the bunch of spinach. This will remove the hot water from the spinach and stop it from cooking. Once chilled, squeeze excess water from spinach and run a knife through it once or twice. That is all the chopping it should need. Repeat with any extra spinach until all spinach is lightly boiled and shocked.

'''Bake:''' 375 degrees F for 20-25 minutes. Toothpick test.

'''Note:''' Make sure that the topping is crumbly, not liquidly. Otherwise the crumb topping will become a syrup, so don't add any extra melted butter.

Bruschetta

2007-07-20T14:13:38Z

Valerie:

=='''Bruschetta'''==

'''Ingredients:'''
* 8 ripe plum tomatoes, partly seeded and chopped
* 2 T minced garlic
* 1/2 c coarsely chopped fresh basil
* 1/4 c chopped fresh parsley
* 1 T lemon juice
* 1/2 T olive oil
* 1 t minced fresh tarragon
* 1/4 t crushed red pepper flakes
* Favorite Italian Dressing, optional
* Baguettes
* Garlic or garlic butter
* Parmesan, optional
* Onion powder, optional
* Cream cheese, optional
* Goat's cheese, optional

'''Instructions:'''
Mix tomatoes, garlic, basil, parsley, lemon juice, olive oil, tarragon, pepper, and dressing. Let set for 3 hours, unrefrigerated.

Slice and toast baguettes. Rub with garlic or garlic butter. Top with tomato mixture.

Also try adding Parmesan and onion powder to the tomato mixture for added depth. Also, try substituting cream cheese or goat's cheese for the butter.

'''Note:''' Bruschetta can take on many forms. Essentially, bruschetta is baguette rubbed with garlic and topped with olive oil, salt and pepper. The toppings that go with that vary greatly. Bruschetta comes from the Roman word ''bruscare'' meaning "to roast over coals," aka toast.

Cream of Broccoli Soup

2007-07-20T13:58:04Z

Valerie:

=='''Cream of Broccoli Soup'''==

'''Ingredients:'''

* 2 c water
* 1 large celery stalk, chopped (3/4 c)
* 1 medium onion, chopped (1/2 c)

* 1/8 t pepper
* Dash of nutmeg
* 1/2 c heavy whipping cream
* 1 T Worcestershire sauce
* Shredded Cheese, optional

'''Instructions:'''
Heat water in 3-quart saucepan. Add broccoli, celery and onion. Bring to a boil, then simmer 10 minutes. Do not drain. Place in blender; blend until smooth. Set aside.

Melt butter in 3-quart saucepan. Stir in flour until smooth. Cook, stirring continually, until mixture is smooth and bubbly. Remove from heat, add broth. Heat to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil and stir 1 minute.

Stir in broccoli mixture, salt, pepper, nutmeg and Worcestershire sauce. Heat just to boiling. Stir in whipping cream. Heat just until hot. Do not boil or soup may curdle.

Garnish with shredded cheese or whipping cream. Serve.

'''Note:''' Jirah, I know you hate celery, but don't skip it in this recipe.

Hot Fudge Sundae Cake

=='''Hot Fudge Sundae Cake'''==

'''Ingredients:'''
* 1 c flour
* 3/4 c sugar
* 2 T baking cocoa
* 2 t baking powder
* 1/4 t salt
* 1/2 c milk
* 2 T vegetable oil
* 1 t vanilla
* 1 c packed brown sugar
* 1/4 c baking cocoa (4 T)
* 1-3/4 c very hot water
* Ice Cream

'''Instructions:'''
Mix together flour, sugar, 2 T cocoa, baking powder, and salt. Add in milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla. Mix until smooth. Spread in bottom of greased 9x9 pan.
Sprinkle brown sugar and 4 T cocoa over the top of batter. Pour the hot water over the batter. ''Do not stir.''

'''Bake:''' 350 degrees F for 40 minutes. Serve with ice cream.

'''Notes:''' Invest in good baking cocoa; don't skimp. Look for a cocoa that has a high percentage of cocoa, around 60-70%. Rule of thumb: the darker the cocoa, the more real cocoa is in it.

This is a type of pudding cake. While it bakes, the batter becomes like a brownie and floats to the top while the hot water, brown sugar and cocoa form a rich hot fudge sauce underneath. When serving, be sure to scoop down deep enough to get the hot fudge. That is what is so great about this recipe; it is two desserts in one.

Although fabulous with ice cream, it is also great with milk poured in the bottom of a cup. It cuts the richness and add to the creaminess without adding calories or as many carbs. Plus at the end, you will be left with a bit of rich chocolate milk.

This is a great dessert to throw together when unexpected guests arrive. It only takes 40 minutes to bake, uses only one bowl, and your basic pantry has everything you need. Plus if you tell them how you made it, they will hardly believe it.

Great also to make with kids. They love seeing how watery and weird it looks going in to the oven and how different and fabulous it looks coming out.

'''Bake:''' 325 degrees F for 2 hours ''or'' at 250 for 4 hours. Scatted fried mushrooms and parsley before serving.

'''Note:''' While it has a weird enough name, Mamaw made this all the time while we were growing up. Just think of the chicken and bacon dish with they really great gravy on it.

=='''Baked chicken Kiev'''==

'''Ingredients:'''
* 1/4 c butter, softened
* 1 T+ fresh chopped chives or parsley
* 1-1/2 T white wine
* 6 boneless chicken breasts, tenderized until 1/4 inch thick
* 18 toothpicks
* 3 c cornflakes cereal, crushed (1-1/2 c)
* 2 T chopped fresh parsley
* 1/2 t paprika
* 1/4 c buttermilk or milk

'''Instructions'''
Mix together butter, chives or parsley, and wine. Freeze.
Mix together cereal, parsley, and paprika.
Place 2-3 T of herbed butter on chicken breast and roll up lengthwise to create packets or bundles. Secure with 3 toothpicks. Dip in milk, then roll in cornflakes mixture. Place in greased pan, seams side down. Top the chicken with any leftover cornflakes mixture.

'''Bake:''' Bake, uncovered, for 35 minutes at 425 degrees.

'''Helpful Hints:''' When tenderizing chicken, lay down a piece of wax paper, then lay the chicken on top of it, then lay a piece of wax paper on top of it. This will keep tiny chicken bits from flying all over you and your kitchen.

Also, if the chicken breasts turn out to be very big after they have been tenderized, you can always cut them in half.

Place the same amount of toothpicks in all the bundles. Even if they only need two, put in three. This way, no matter what piece of chicken you take, you know to look for three toothpicks.
