    from the Acadian section of _The Canadiana Cookbook_ by Mme. Jehane
    Benoit. To quote the author, “R^ape in French means grated, so in
    either case, r^apure or rappie” indicated that fact. A great deal of
    French and English is mixed together in the Acadian language") (I had
    to leave out the French accents.)

  • Squash Risotto

    Recipe

    Date: Fri, 10 Sep 93 10:12:51 CDT
    From: zoe@palm.cray.com (Zoe Jobson)

    My husband enjoyed this – which is quite something since when I met him I had
    difficulty making him eat anything that didn’t have some meat in it. It was
    going to be zuchini rissoto but I coulnt’ find any in the supermarket – so I
    made a 1st forry into squash (I’m English – they cost a lot over there so I’d
    never tried one).

    SQUASH RISOTTO

    Ingredients for 2

    1 small squash – I think mine was a butternut – not sure they were all mixed
    in together and I don’t know which is which
    1 3/4 cups 10 minute brown rice
    2 cups mixed frozen veg
    1 veggy stock cube (Or whatever your favorite rice flavouring is).
    Liquid (about 2 cups)
    seasoning – pepper and chinese 5 spice

    Peel the squash and cut into lumps about 1nch cubes. Put them under the
    broiler to toast.
    Boil the rice with liquid and flavoring
    Heat up a large fry pan and scold the mixed veg on it with no liquid.
    When the squash is browned to your taste put it in the microwave with a couple
    of spoons of water and zap until tender – mine took about 4.5 mins.
    While the squash is zapping mix the now cooked rice in with the mixed veg.
    Stir in whatever seasoning you feel like using.
    it should now be on a low heat – just to keep everything warm.
    When the squash is done toss it in and mix it up – and serve.
    Salt or soy sauce or whatever to taste.
    it took about 15-20 mins to do – I did spend some time figuring out exactly
    what I should do with the squash – like did I eat the rind or what! I there
    an easy way opr peeling one ?

    It got a YUM from my husband (I get silence, nice or yum)

    2 tbsp Parmesan Cheese
    2 garlic cloves

    2/3 cup Olive Oil
    Blend all ingredients with 1/3 cup olive oil in a blender. Blend one more

    Recipe

    BACON AND BEAN SOUP

    Recipe By :
    Serving Size : 8 Preparation Time :0:00
    Categories : Soups

    Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
    ——– ———— ——————————–
    3 sl Back bacon
    3 Stalks celery, chopped
    2 md Carrots, chopped
    1 md Onion, chopped
    1 c Chopped turnip
    3 c Beef broth
    1 Bay leaf
    1/2 ts Thyme
    1 cn (19oz) kidney OR pinto
    -beans, drained and rinsed

    Prep time: 25 minutes.

    When the vegetables are finely chopped it takes only a
    short simmering time to develop and blend the flavors
    of the bacon and assorted winter vegetables. The beans
    add character and a heartiness that is satisfying. And
    an added plus – the soup is better a day or two after
    it is made. Store it in a covered container in the
    refrigerator.

    Cut bacon into thin slivers. In a 12 cup saucepan,
    combine bacon,celery, carrots, onion, turnip, beef
    broth, bay leaf and thyme. Bring to a boil; reduce
    heat, cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until
    vegetables are tender. Add beans and continue to
    simmer 5-10 minutes or until hot, and flavors are
    blended. Remove the bay leaf and ladle into warm soup
    tureen or soup bowls. Makes 8 servings.
