Rice rolls
———-
Take an umeboshi plum and chop it into little pieces distributed through
the rice. Lay some of this rice out on a piece of sushi nori (that’s nori
sheets that have been roasted), and roll it up closing the ends. Do this
while the rice is still warm and it sticks together perfectly. When you bite
a piece off, the seaweed wrapper closes itself with help from your teeth so
the rice doesn’t fall out.

DOUBLE NUT TORTE

Recipe By : PICK OF THE DAY SHOW #PD7731 12/31/96
Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : 12/31/96

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
4 cups nuts — 1 kind or
— an assortment
1 1/2 cups sugar
3/4 cup butter or margarine
5 large eggs — separated
1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon lemon peel — grated
1/3 cup all-purpose flour

Roast 1 1/2 cups of the nuts in oven. When roasted, place in a food
processor and grind untilfinely ground.

In a bowl beat 1/2 cup of sugar and 1/4 cup of the butter until
blended. Add the egg yolks, one at a time, beating well after each
addition. Mix in the ground nuts, lemon juice, lemon peel and all but
2 tablespoons of the flour.

In a deep bowl beat egg whites with a mixer on high speed until soft
peeks form. Gradually beat in 1/4 cup sugar until the whites hold
stiff, shiny peaks. Gently fold the whites into the yolk mixture.

Spoon the batter into a buttered and floured 9-inch cheesecake pan
with removable rim. Bake in a 350 degree oven until the torte is very
lightly browned and the center feels just barely firm to the touch,
about 20 – 25 minutes.

To prepare the topping, in a medium sized pot melt remaining 1/2 cup
butter over a medium heat. Add the remaining sugar, flour and nuts.
Stir the mixture until bubbling. Immediately spoon the toffee topping
evenly over hot torte, pushing nuts with a spoon to arrange
decoratively. Return to oven and bake until nuts and topping are
slightly browner, about 15 – 20 minutes longer.

Cool torte in the pan for 10 minutes, then run a knife inside the pan
rim to release. Remove pan rim. Serve torte warm or cool.

TIP:
PAN ROASTING ALMONDS

Spread shelled nuts in a single layer on a baking pan. Bake in a 350
degree oven, stirring often, until golden, about 15 minutes.
