Title: VEGETARIAN EGG ROLLS
Categories: Chinese, Vegetarian
Yield: 12 servings

1 pk Egg roll wrappers
Or
1 *recipe of cheese blintz pan
Sesame oil
1 c Celery, finely chopped
1 Onion, small, finely chopped
2 Garlic cloves, minced
1 c Cabbage, finely shredded
1 c Mushroom, finely chopped
1 Green pepper, finely chopped
1/2 c Water chestnuts, finely chop
1 c Sprouts, bean or seed, fresh
1/4 c Soybeans, dry cooked and
-pureed
3 tb Soy sauce
2 1/2 c Brown rice, cooked

These egg rolls make an excellent first course, or
when eaten right with the cooked rice, a whole meal.
Just be sure, if you eat them without rice, that you
include rice in the meal to complement the soybeans.

In a wok or frying pan saute the vegetables in sesame
oil in the order given. After the onion has started
sauteing, add the remaining vegetables quickly so that
the total time with the heat on is about 5 minutes. As
soon as you add the bean sprouts to the pan, turn off
the heat.

Stir the pureed soybeans and soy sauce together. Then
stir this mixture into the vegetables.

The whole mixture may be chilled several hours, or
used warm. To prepare the rolls: place about 1/4 cup
filling in the center of each pancake or egg roll
wrapper; fold the corners over envelope-style and seal
with a flour-water paste.

Heat a large frying pan with oil in the bottom. Fry
the rolls until they are crisp and brown, turning only
once. You may deep fry the rolls if you are into deep
frying, but they are better cooked only in a little
oil. Drain on paper bags or towels.

Keep the rolls hot in a 250~ oven up to an hour. Or
reheat them at 450~ for about 10 minutes.

Serve 2 egg rolls with about 1 cup of cooked rice and
any of the following: mustard, horseradish, soy sauce,
sweet and sour sauce, or hot sauce.

ARTICHOKE OYSTER SOUP

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Soups

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
6 tablespoons Butter — melted
4 C Oysters, drained — reserve
1/2 C Shallots (chopped fine)
(less — to taste)
1/4 teaspoon Thyme
14 ounces Artichoke hearts — cooked
1 Bay leaf
2 teaspoons Salt
1/2 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon Tabasco
2 tablespoons Flour
1/2 C Whipping cream
14 ounces Chicken broth
3 tablespoons Parsley (chopped — fresh)
or less won’t hurt)

In a 3-quart casserole, melt butter and saute shallots. When shallots are
translucent, add thyme, bay leaf and cayenne pepper. Add flour and whisk well.
Add broth, oyster water, artichoke hearts, salt and tabasco. Bring to a boil.
Add oysters and parsley. Simmer on medium, partly covered, for exactly 5
minutes. Add whipped cream and serve immediately.

NOTES:

* Chicken broth with artichokes and poached oysters — This is a modern
cajun-style recipe that I adapted from a local convenience-food cookbook by
Jean
Durkee. It’s an intriguing combination of modern American ingredients with
traditional cajun flavorings.

* Fresh parsley tastes much better than dried parsley. If the oysters are
bigger than a small bite-size, cut them up before adding them to the soup.
Use the smallest oysters you can find.

* When I’m not making a double recipe, I usually dump the entire (about
1-cup)
container of whipping cream into the soup, even though that’s double what the
recipe calls form.

* The timing on cooking the oysters is fairly critical. If you overcook
them,
they will be rubbery.

: Difficulty: easy.
: Time: 20 minutes.
: Precision: measure the spices.

That Blueberry Banana Polenta Thing

2 very ripe bananas
1 cup corn flour (maybe *fine* ground corn meal, at your own risk)
1/2 cup whole wheat flour (might add wheat germ to increase fiber)
2 T. honey (sorry, I think I’ve seen honey used before on this list)
1 T. Succanat (or 3 T. Succanat and no honey for vegans)
1/2 cup water (or use *nonfat* milk, juice, or soy moo)
1 1/2 tsp. Ener-g egg replacer (or 1 egg white)
1/4 tsp. guar gum (optional)
1/2 tsp. baking soda (or slightly less)
2 T. nonfat yogurt (this is needed to make the baking soda work)
1/2 tsp. cinnamon (or as much as you can handle, ie. more…)
1/2 tsp. cardamom (ditto)
1 1/2 cups blueberries (fresh)

Preparation: Mash bananas with a potato masher, add all remaining ingredients,
except for blueberries. Stir well. Lightly oil a small pan, or 8 muffin tin,
by dipping a paper napkin in a drop of oil and spreading this all over the
baking surface (or spray with Pam). Pour batter into pan (8″ x 5") or muffin
tin. Sprinkle top with blueberries, the more the better. Blueberries won’t
sink to the bottom, so you have to press them down if you want to get even more
of them in. Bake at about 400F for about 25-35 minutes, my guess. Serve warm.
This will taste quite rich, the warm melted blueberries get runny and yummy!
