    Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
    ——– ———— ——————————–
    1 lb Monk fish
    -or other firm fish
    1 Yellow squash
    1 Green bell pepper
    1 Red bell pepper
    Cherry tomatoes
    Bay leaves
    Cooked brown rice or
    Pita bread
    Lemon wedges
    Sprigs of mint
    —–CHERMOULLA—–
    4 sm Garlic cloves, minced
    1 t Ground cumin seeds
    1/2 ts Sweet Hungarian paprika
    1/8 ts Cayenne
    1 pn [generous] saffron
    1/4 c Chopped fresh cilantro
    1/4 c Fresh lemon juice
    3/4 c Olive oil
    Salt
    Black pepper

    This is a very colorful and tasty arrangement of
    marinated and then skewered and grilled vegetables and
    fish. The marinade, called chermoulla, is a blend of
    fragrant seasonings, oil, and lemon juice. In this
    version I’ve suggested my favorite vegetables for
    kebabs. You should choose your own favorites; some
    other good choices are eggplants, mushrooms, and
    onions. special equipment: skewers (if you are using
    bamboo skewers, soak them in water for 1/2 hr. and
    fill them out to the ends so the skewers won’t burn)

    Combine the ingredients for the chermoulla. Cut the
    fish into 1-inch cubes. Similarily, cut the
    vegetables into 1-inch cubes. Place the fish and
    vegetables in the chermoulla and marinate,
    refrigerated, for 2 hours.
    When you are ready to assemble the kebab, soften the
    bay leaves in boiling water for several minutes.
    Alternate the tomatoes, peppers, yellow squash, and
    fish on skewers. Place a bay leaf occasionally on the
    skewers next to the fish. Reserve the chermoulla.
    Cover the broiler pan with foil and plkace the
    kebabs on it about an inch apart. Broil for 15 to 20
    minutes, basting with the reserved chermoulla, and
    turning frequently to cook evenly.
    Serve on rice or in pita bread and garnish with
    lemon wedges and sprigs of mint. From Sundays at

    2 lg Shallots, chopped 1 lg Egg
    3 lb Frog legs 1/2 ea Lemon
    14 oz Wine, white, dry 1 tb Oil, olive
    Salt 1/2 lb Pasta, fresh
    Pepper 1 bn Chives
    3 c Cream, heavy

    Frog Leg Sauce:
    ===============

    In a saute pan, heat 2 tablespoons of butter. Saute the chopped
    shallots in butter until they’re golden brown.

    Add 1 1/2 pounds of frog legs, white wine, salt and pepper.
    Cover and cook slowly for 10 minutes.

    Strain the liquids from the mixture back into the saute pan.
    Reserve the legs.

    Replace strained stock in saute pan, add 1 cup of cream and
    reduce by half. Set aside but keep warm.

    Frog Legs:
    ==========

    Debone the frog legs. Place the meat in a meat grinder or food
    processor with the filet of sole and grind thoroughly.

    Add egg, salt and pepper, and 1 cup of cream (adjust to
    consistency and taste.) Process the mousseline and reserve.

    Pasta:
    ======

    Boil salted water, add olive oil and pasta. When pasta is al
    dente, strain and cool under running water. Set aside.

    Mousseline:
    ===========

    Butter four ramekins or molds.

    Put the mousseline into a pastry bag and squeeze it into the
    molds, leaving a hole in the center of each mold.

    Fill center with frog leg meat and top with mousseline. Tamp
    gently to remove trapped air bubbles.

    Place the molds onto a pan or tray in which you’ve poured about
    an inch of water. On top of each mold, place a layer of buttered
    parchment, (butter side down), then a layer of foil. Bake for 15
    minutes at 400 F.

    To Assemble:
    ============

    To serve, saute pasta in 3 tablespoons of butter, adjust
    seasoning, then layer on serving plates.

    Remove mousseline from molds and place on pasta.

    Bring the sauce to a boil, and add heavy cream to adjust
    consistency if necessary. If sauce is too thick, thin with white
    wine.

    Add butter, lemon juice, salt and pepper.

    Pour sauce over mousseline and sprinkle with chopped chives.

  • POACHED FOWL AND BACON WITH ‘PUDDING’

    Recipe By :
    Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00
    Categories : Main Dish Chicken

    Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
    ——– ———— ——————————–
    4 lb Boiling fowl with
    Neck and giblets
    2 tb Finely chopped mixed fresh
    Savory, parsley, hyssop and
    Sage
    Salt and pepper
    1 1/2 lb Piece boiling bacon
    2 c Strong dry cider
    Extra herbs to garnish
    Pudding
    Neck, liver and heart
    From the bird
    1 t Of the herb mixture above
    Salt and pepper
    8 tb Soft white breadcrumbs
    1 Egg beaten

    This was a cheap and easy dish on which youngsters
    could practise when learning to carve poultry. Ask a
    kindly poulterer to cut off the bird’s head and to
    supply the whole neck in its skin along with the
    prepared bird and giblets. Mix the herbs together and
    put a tablespoonful aside. Add a light seasoning of
    salt and pepper to the rest and fill the mixture into
    the body cavity of the bird. Stitch or skewer the
    cavity openings securely. Truss the bird for boiling
    and place it on a trivet in a stewpan which will also
    hold the bacon and liquids. To prepare the neck, ease
    the spine and surrounding flesh out of the skin as if
    peeling off a stocking. Do not break the skin. Chop
    the liver and heart finely and mix with half the
    reserved herbs, a little seasoning and the
    breadcrumbs. Bind with the egg. Fill this mixture into
    the skin, allowing room for the bread to swell. Fasten
    the ends of the sausage-shaped ‘pudding’ securely and
    add to the pan. (If the skin is accidentally torn, or
    is not supplied, you can make the stuffing into small
    balls and fry or bake them, as an acceptable
    substitute.) Mix the cider with 425 ml/15 fl oz/2 cups
    water and heat until nearly boiling. Add the liquid to
    the pan, put on a well-fitting lid and poach the bird
    gently for 2-2 1/2 hours. Add the bacon piece after
    30 minutes and the stuffed neck after a further 15
    minutes. Top up the pan with extra boiling water then,
    or later if needed. Test the bird for readiness after
    2 hours by thrusting a thin skewer into the thickest
    part of the thigh. The juices should run clear. A
    smallish bird may be almost ready by this time, and
    the bacon piece should be done. Take the bacon out,
    with the ‘pudding’, and leave both to rest for 10-15
    minutes. The slice both to serve as a garnish for the
    poached bird. Scatter a few extra herb leaves over the
    breast of the bird before serving. First stuff your
    capons with saveray, With parsley, a little, hissop I
    say; Then take the neck, remove the bone; And make a
    pudding thereof at once With an egg and minced bread
    also With hacked liver and heart thereto… Then boil
    the capon, as I they say, With parsley, sage, hissop,
    saveray… With slices of bacon embrawded here and
    colour your broth with saffron dear… (Mrs
    Groundes-Peace’s Old Cookery Notebook)
