Title: Deluxe Sugar Cookies
Categories: Cookies, Holiday
Yield: 1 servings

1 c Butter or margarine
1 1/2 c Powdered sugar
1 Egg
1 ts Vanilla
1/2 ts Almond extract
2 1/2 c Flour
1 ts Soda
1 ts Cream of tartar

Cream butter and sugar. Add egg, vanilla, almond
extract. Mix well. Add flour, soda, and cream of
tartar until smooth. Chill dough 2-3 hours. Roll out
to about 1/4″ thickness. Cut dough with cookie
cutters. Bake on greased cookie sheet 7-8 minutes at
375~. These cookies are sweet and they really don’t
need any frosting, but they should be sprinkled with
colored sugar before baking. They are very pretty at
Christmas time. I make large stars and sprinkle half
of one star with green sugar and the other half with
red sugar.

SOPA DE GRAO

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

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
2 1/2 c Dried garbanzos
– washed and sorted
2 qt Cold water
4 md Garlic cloves
– peeled and minced
4 lg Yellow onions — peeled
– and coarsely chopped
3 tb Peanut, corn or veg. oil
3 md Maine or Eastern potatoes
– peeled coarsely chopped
1/2 ts Crumbled leaf thyme
1/2 ts Ground coriander seeds
1 lg Bay leaf — (do not crumble)
1 qt Beef or chicken broth
-(preferably homemade)
1/2 lb Pepperoni or chorizo
– or if available,
– Portuguese chourico or
– linguica,
– sliced about 1/4-in thick
1 c Finely chopped fresh spinach
– (leaves only)
1 1/2 ts Salt
1/4 ts Freshly ground black pepper
2 tb Olive oil

SOAK THE GARBANZOS overnight in 6 cups of the water in
a large heavy kettle. Next day, add the remaining 2
cups water, bring to a gentle boil, cover, and cook
4-to-5 hours or until the garbanzos are very tender.
Meanwhile, stir-fry the garlic and onions in the
peanut oil in a second large, heavy kettle over
moderate heat for 12-to-15 minutes until lightly
browned. Add the potatoes and stir-fry 2-to-3 minutes;
add the thyme, coriander, and bay leaf, turn the heat
down low, and allow to mellow about 10 minutes. Pour
in the broth, bring all to a gentle simmer, cover and
cook slowly. As soon as you’ve set the 2 kettles to
simmer, stir-fry the pepperoni in a large heavy
skillet 3-to-5 minutes–just until lightly browned and
most of the drippings have cooked out. Drain the
pepperoni well, reserving 1 tablespoon of the
drippings. Set aside. Return 1 tablespoon drippings to
the skillet, add the spinach and stir-fry 2-to-3
minutes over moderate heat just until glazed and
intensely green; reserve. When the garbanzos are
tender, puree 1/2 of them by buzzing 60 seconds in a
food processor, adding only enough kettle liquid to
puree them easily. Return the pureed garbanzos to the
kettle in which they cooked. Now puree the potato
mixture in 2 batches, buzzing each 30-to-40 seconds in
a food processor. Blend the potato mixture into the
garbanzo mixture, add the reserved pepperoni and
spinach, cover, and simmer 30-to-40 minutes–just long
enough to mellow the flavors. Season to taste with
salt and pepper, remove the bay leaf, then smooth in
the olive oil. Makes 6 to 8 Servings ~–
