Title: CREAMY CANNELLONI WITH CHICKEN AND ALMONDS
Categories: Poultry etc, Pastanoodle
Yield: 6 servings

22 Precooked dried cannelloni
-shells (see note)
2 Chopped tomatoes
2 tb Freshly grated Parmesan
-cheese
SAUCE:
3 tb Butter
1 Chopped onion
3 tb Flour
1 1/2 c Chicken stock
1 c Light cream
Salt and pepper to taste
3/4 c Grated Swiss cheese
FILLING:
1 1/2 c Diced cooked chicken
1 pk Frozen spinach, thawed and
-drained
3/4 c Ricotta cheese
1/3 c Toasted slivered almonds
1/4 c Freshly grated Parmesan
-cheese
1 Egg
1/4 ts Grated nutmeg

Sauce: Melt butter in a saucepan. Saute onion until
tender. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute. Add
stock, cream, salt and pepper. Cook until boiling and
thickened, 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in
the Swiss cheese. Cover with waxed paper and set aside.

Filling: Combine chicken, spinach, Ricotta, almonds,
Parmesan, egg and nutmeg. Blend all ingredients
together.

Assembly: Place filling in the pre-cooked shells. Pour
a thin layer of sauce over the bottom of a baking
dish. Arrange the stuffed cannelloni in a single layer
over the sauce. Sprinkle with the chopped tomatoes,
and pour the sauce over the cannelloni. Sprinkle with
Parmesan cheese. Cover with aluminium foil. Bake at
350 degrees F for 60-70 minutes or until pasta is soft
and the top bubbles.

Note: The kind of pasta used in this dish is dried,
but is usually called “oven ready”. I believe it is
coated in egg whites to enable it to cook right in the
oven when well-covered in sauce. If you make the dish
ahead and refrigerate, the cooking time will be cut
down because the pasta will soften in the
refrigeration.

Title: Frozen Figs
Categories: Fruits, Desserts
Yield: 1 batch

One cup of sugar to 5 cups of sliced or cut up figs give the best results.
First chill figs to make them easy to peel (if you wish to peel them).
Slice and mix with sugar thoroughly and then quick freeze. If you would
rather use sugar syrup for freezing figs, use 1 quart of water to 1 cup
sugar in making syrup. Chill before pouring over figs. Leave 1 to 1-1/2″
head space for fruits packed in syrup.

1/4 cup Soy sauce
2 tablespoons Sesame oil
1/4 teaspoon Pepper
3 Green onion — finely chopped
2 Cloves garlic — minced
2 teaspoons Sugar — or to taste

grill that has rods close enough together so the meat will not fall through.
‘BULKOKEE’ is Korea’s national dish and may have been the inspiration for
Japan’s teriyaki, which it resembles. In Korea, the dish is usually
sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds before serving.
