Golden Zucchini, Etc. Balti

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Balti Indian
Vegetarian Mc

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1 Yellow zucchini/courgette
1 Onion
1 Yellow or Orange Pepper
2 Small Red or Yellow Tomatoes
1 Clove Garlic
1/4 t Turmeric
1/4 t Chopped chilies (dried)
1 Small Cayenne chili
1 c Balti Sauce
1/2 c White wine, or
1/2 c Vegetable stock
Vegetable oil for frying

Scrub all vegetables and dry. Heat oil in karahi. Saute onions until
transparent: add turmeric, garlic and chopped dried chilies, and saute
for another minute (be careful not to let the garlic scorch), then remove
onions and garlic and set aside. Reheat oil slightly. Slice half the
zucchini/courgette into rounds: chop the rest into “matchsticks”. Slice
and roughly chop the tomatoes: seed and chop the peppers and chili.
Quickly stirfry all these vegetables for about two minutes or until
partially cooked: add the onions and garlic again, then the balti sauce.
Cook for about 5-10 more minutes until you like the consistency. If you
like, add white wine or vegetable stock and cook a little longer until
sauce reduces thick again. Serve in karahi with naan bread, or (if you’re
feeling pedestrian) on a plate, with rice.

  • Hot Dog Surprise

    Recipe

    Title: Hot Dog Surprise
    Categories: Car food, Quick/easy, Kids!
    Yield: 10 servings

    10 x Hot dogs
    x American cheese (or boutique
    -brand Wisconsin cheddar, if
    -you have an expensive car),
    -sliced into hot dog-length
    -fingers
    10 sl Bacon

    Distance: 40 miles

    At home or on the road, cut a deep slit in each wiener, and stuff with
    fingers of cheese. Then wrap on the diagonal, like an old bias-ply
    tire, with the bacon. Seal individually in foil.
    These are great for stuffing into those odd places on the engine
    where you can’t fit a turkey or a suckling pig. Cook about 45 minutes, or
    until cheese is melted and bacon is somewhat crisp.

  • Title: Coating for your Thanksgiving Turkey
    Categories: Chicken, Condiment, Poultry, Holiday
    Yield: 1 servings

    1/3 c Paprika
    Salt
    Garlic powder
    Onion; dried
    Pepper
    Water; to make paste

    This will do about a 13-15lb turkey. Other seasonings are to taste. I
    never did measure. This is a coating you can put on all poultry before
    roasting. Basically you make a paste of the above ingredients. It
    should be the consistencey of finger paint–thick and not runny. If
    you have kids, put them in old clothes and let them help. I smear it
    in and out of the cavity. Notice that this does not have any Gravy
    Master or oil…both unneeeded in my opinion. The skin cooks nice and
    crisp. Remember to baste during cooking. BTW, use this in the Nuke
    too.
    Sometimes we do a turkey or chicken in there when we have lot’s of
    other baking/roasting to do. When Howard was in training to be a
    Chef, he brought home a bunch of fellow students for dinner. Not one
    of them even came close to guessing that the turkey had been made in
    the nuke. I hope all of you have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday.

    1 Parsley; bunch
    1 c Snow Peas
    1 Sweet potato; 1/8″ slices
    Vegetable oil
    1 TEMPURA BATTER RECIPE
    1 TEMPURA SAUCE RECIPE

    Make several crosswise slits on the underside of
    shrimp to prevent curling. Parboil green beans. Pat
    shrimp and vegetables dry; arrange on platter; cover
    and refridgerate until serving time. Prepare batter
    and sauce recipes. Do not make batter recipe too far
    ahead of time.
    Heat oil in a wok to 360 degrees. Dep shrimp and
    vegetables into batter with tongs; allow excess batter
    to drip into bowl. Fry a few pieces at a time until
    golden brown, turning once (cooking time approximately
    2-3 minutes). This is best prepared close to or at
    the table. It is great fun to have a “tempura party”
    with guests cooking their own. Serve with sauce and
    rice. (you may need more batter mix depending on the
    amounts of seafood and vegetables you prepare). Does
    not keep well once cooked.
