NOTES : Used in Cucina! Cucina! Chopped Salad.

Date: Thu, 16 Jun 94 13:09:54 MDT
From: Sharon.E.Badian@att.com

This is adapted from *The Africa News Cookbook.* It goes MUCH faster
if you have a pressure cooker. That’s what I used and you can go from
dried beans to dinner table in about an hour.

Beans and Potatoes (serves 8 easily)

2 cups dried pinto beans
3 large potatoes, peeled and chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
salt to taste
large sweet onion, sliced

Cook beans until tender. That’s about 20 minutes in the pressure
cooker (what a marvel of technology!). Obviously, a lot longer if
you don’t have one. You could use canned beans too, if you wanted
to be quick about it.

Add potatoes and celery and cook until potatoes are tender. In the
pressure cooker that takes anywhere from 2-8 minutes, depending
how finely you chop the potatoes. I cut mine into large cubes and
it took about 4 minutes (but I live at 5500, so adjust accordingly).

Salt to taste.

Saute onion until browned. Mix in with beans and potatoes.

If you like it hot, a shot or two of hot sauce would be good.

WALNUT-ONION HERB BREAD

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 8 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Breads Breadmaker

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1 1/4 tb Active dry yeast
2 tb Sugar
1 c Warm water (105-115)
1 c Warm milk (105-115)
1 Egg
2 ts Salt
2 tb Walnut oil or unsalted buttr
1/4 c Chopped fresh dill
Or
1 1/2 tb Dried dill
4 1/2 c Flour
1/3 c Minced white onion
2/3 c Coarsely chopped walnuts

*This recipe is for making bread in a casserole dish with no
kneading. To make it in a bread machine cut liquid and flour in half.
In a small bowl, sprinkle the yeast and a pinch of sugar over the
warm water. Stir to dissolve and let stand until foamy, about 10
minutes. In a large bowl, combine the mild, remaining sugar, egg,
salt, oil or butter, dill and 1 1/2 cups flour. Beat with a wisk or
heavy duty mixer until smooth. Add the yeast mixture and remaining
flour 1/2 cup at a time, beating vigorously about 2 minutes. Batter
will be sticky. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm area
until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour. Sprinkle the onion and walnuts
over the top of the batter and stir down, beating vigorously to
evenly distribute. Turn into a well greased 3-quart casserole or
souffle dish, 9-inch springform pan, or 9-inch kugel of tube mold.
Cover loosley with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm area until
doubled in bulk, about 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Bake in the center of the oven until the top is crusty brown, hollow
when tapped and a cake tester inserted into the center comes out
clean, about 45-50 minutes. Run a sharp knife around the sides of the
pan and turn out of the pan onto a rack to cool right side up.
Variation: add 4 ounces mozzarella cheese, cut into cubes. *For Bread
machine, dump in all ingredinets and push start.
