1 lb cottage cheese (low-fat is fine)
3 cups sour cream (even a little less will do)
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup melted margarine (unsalted)
4 to 6 eggs, depending on how rich you like it (go for broke)
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 lb broad or thin noodles, cooked
1/2 cup raisins
cinnamon and sugar (for topping)
In a large mixing bowl, combine cheese, sour cream, milk and half of the
melted margarine. Beat together the eggs, sugar and vanilla and add to
cheese mixture. Then add the cooked noodles and raisins; turn into large
buttered pan or two smaller ones. Top with remaining melted margarine.
Mix together some cinnamon and sugar and sprinkle on top. Crushed
cornflakes may also be used as topping with the cinnamon and sugar.
Bake at 350 degrees for about an hour or until lightly browned.
May be frozen and reheated.

NOTE: I find it unnecessary to do the eggs, sugar and vanilla separately.
I put it all in the 25-cup Tupperware mixing bowl and mix with a wire whisk.
This makes a really large quantity. I find my lasagna pan the perfect
size. You can easily halve the entire recipe if it is only a side dish for
a family dinner. Another beauty of this dish is that, for buffets, it’s
tasty even at room temperature; you don’t have to worry about keeping it hot.

shallow pan. Bake uncovered in 350F oven 1 1/2 hours.

Remove loaf pan from hot water; fold foil over top. Place weight on

down firmly 2 minutes. Leave weight on terrine; refrigerate until
firm, about 6 hours.

To remove terrine, loosen foil from sides of pan and, grasp- ing ends
of foil, lift out; remove foil. Cut terrine into 1/4-inch slices.

Roasted Corn Soup

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Soups

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
4 Large corn cobs
25 G butter
4 Cloves garlic
1 red capsicum (opt)
1 Large potato
1/4 Cup cream
seasonings
4 Cups chicken stock or 4 tsp chicken stock
powder in 4 cups water.

Pull back the husks from the corn cobs and remove the silk. Melt the
butter and brush over the kernels then pull the husks back over to
cover the husks again. Place the corn in one layer in a roasting pan
with whole, unpeeled garlic cloves, and halved red capsicum if using,
and bake at 220 C for 20 minutes. While corn roasts, peel and roughly
chop the potatoes and cook in a large pot with the chicken stock until
the potato is tender. Using a slotted spoon lift out the potato and
put in a food processor, blender or mouli. Take the husks off the
roasted cobs. With a sharp serrated knife, cut the corn from the
cobs, then scrape any remaining corn flesh from the cobs using a
spoon. Puree the kernels and flesh from 3 cobs with the potato, add
the pulp squeezed from the garlic cloves, then return the mixture to
the pot with the chicken stock.
Finely dice the capsicum, discarding the stem and seeds. Add to the
soup with the corn cut from the last cob, add the cream, and bring to
the boil. Adjust seasonings to suit your taste, adding a little salt,
sugar, Tabasco sauce and freshly ground black pepper if necessary.
Re-heat just before serving. Top each serving with finely chopped
parsley.
Barbecue the corn, garlic (on a skewer) and the red capsicum of
preferred.
