Chilled Garbanzo And Potato Salad With Onion And Garlic

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Beans Potatoes
Salad Dressings Salads
Vegetables Vegetarian

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
2 Pounds Red Potatoes — * see note
3 Italian Plum Tomatoes — (red-ripe)
1/2 Medium Red Onion — minced
16 Oz. Can Garbanzo Beans
1/4 Pound Fresh Spinach — ** see note
—–The Dressing—–
1 Tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 Tablespoons Red Wine Vinegar
4 Cloves Garlic — minced
1/2 Teaspoon Salt
1/2 Teaspoon Fresh Ground Black Pepper
1 Tablespoon Fresh Parsley — minced
1/2 Cup Water
1/4 Teaspoon Crushed Dried Hot Red Chilies — (or to taste)

* small red potatoes, scrubbed and cut into bite-sized pieces
** washed and finely chopped (optional)

First, mix all the stuff together for the dressing in a small bowl or
a measuring cup. Let that sit for at least a few minutes usually,
if you make it first, then do the potatoes and tomatoes, that’s plenty
of time.

Next, bring about 4-6 cups of water to a boil in a saucepan (more is
better, but leave room for the potatoes), and add the scrubbed
bite-sized potato pieces. Bring back to a boil, and boil for 4-5
minutes. Do not overcook! You don’t want them to be hard, but you
don’t want them to be mush, either. Drain the potatoes, and rinse well
under cold water (or cover with cold water, then drain and rinse).

Drain the garbanzo beans and rinse them thoroughly under cold water.

Cut the tomatoes into bite-sized pieces, but smaller than the potato
pieces. Chop up the spinach (if you’re using it). Mix everything
together, including the dressing, in a bowl that is big enough to stir
it without dumping bits over the side.

Cover the bowl, and chill for at least 4 hours, tossing it once or
twice to make sure the dressing continues to coat things.

Adapted by Ron Lunde, from:
Shea MacKenzie’s The Garden of Earthly Delights Cookbook

My modifications to this recipe were to increase the garlic, cut back
a lot on the oil, increase the potatoes, omit the sweet bell pepper,
and add an extra plum tomato. This is my favorite potato salad.

Crockpot Beans and Barley

I made this recipe today in the crockpot and ate it on rice. It looked icky
but tasted lovely.

1 onion, chopped
1 carrot, chopped (I used 2, I like them)
1 cup navy beans, soaked
1/2 tsp prepared mustard
1/2 cup split peas, dried
1/4 cup pearl barley
1/2 cup mushrooms, chopped
1 cup pinto beans, uncooked
4 cups vegetable broth
3 T parsley, minced
1/4 cup lentils, dried
Soak white and pinto beans overnight. Saute onion, mushrooms and carrot in 1
T of vegetable broth until tender. Add drained beans, vegetable bouillon,
mustard and parsely, bring to bil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer 45 minutes.
Add split peas, lentils and barley. Cover and simmer another hour until all
beans are tender. (Note: I like it spicy so I added lots of tabasco and
pepper). I know this is more of a “winter recipe” but I think it will be good
cold, also. Things got a bit mushy in the crockpot so it might be better to
cook on the stove.

the garlic and onions. Stir and fry until onions turn translucent,
turning the heat down if necessary. Put in the okra. Stir and fry

1/2 cup water and bring to a simmer. Cover, turn heat to low, and
cook gently for 15 to 20 minutes or until okra is tender. (Large
pods will take a bit longer to cook though).

***** NONE *****

A RUB IS A HGIHLY CONCENTRATED BLEND OF HERBS AND SPICES THAT FLAVORS THE
EXTERIOR OF THE MEAT AS IT GRILLS. RUBS ARE APPLIED TO THE EXTERIOR
SURFACE OF THE MEAT JUST BEFORE GRILLING; THEY NEED NO STANDING TIME.
HOWEVER FOR CONVENIENCE RUBS MAY BE APPLIED SEVERAL HRS IN ADVANCE. THE
COATED MEAT SHOULD BE REFRIGERATED UNTIL GRILLING TIME. FLAVORS BECOME
MORE PRONOUNCED THE LONGER THE RUB IS ON THE MEAT.

Title: CHALLA * GOLDEN EGG BREAD
Categories: Breadmaker, Jewish, Breads, Brunch
Yield: 1 large loaf

1 pk Yeast
3 c Flour
4 tb Sugar
2 Eggs
6 tb Vegetable oil
1 1/2 ts Salt
3/4 c -Water; warm,

1. Combine all ingredients in the pan in the order
listed and select white bread; push start If you
don’t have a DAK follow the directions for your own
machine. You can bake it in your machine OR follow the
directions below.

2. When we make this into Challa, we remove it from
the breadmaker after the manual mode stops, (second
rise); and then braid and rise again; then put an egg
wash over the challa.

3. EGG WASH: One egg beaten with an equal amount of
water. Brush on liberally BEFORE baking and then once
during the bake. It makes the challa have a hard and
shiny crust. BEAUTIFUL. You can sprinkle on seeds of
your choice , (sesame or poppy), after the first
`wash’.

4. BAKE in a 350 degree oven until a light toasty
brown. We usually sprinkle

NOTE: When I serve this challa to company they have a
hard time believing that it comes out of our oven
