BANANA MOLASSES MUFFINS

Recipe By :

Categories : Breads Fruits

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
3 ea Bananas — Ripe, Md

2/3 c Sugar
2 tb Light Molasses Or Syrup
2 tb Shortening, Melted

Mash the bananas until no lumps remain. Add the
unbeaten egg, mixing well. Beat in the sugar,
molasses and the shortening. (NOTE: The secret of
this recipe is to mix the above ingredients well until
very smooth.) Sift the flour, baking power, soda, and
salt together and add to the liquid mixture. As these
are a quick bread, do not beat the dry mixture into
the liquid but rather fold it in only until it is
moistened and no streaks remain. Spoon the mixture
into a muffin tin that has been sprayed with a
non-stick coating. Bake at 350 degrees F for 20 to 25
minutes or until done. Serve warm.

* To Bake Garlic: Preheat the oven to 350° Place a whole head of garlic in a
small baking pan. Drizzle one teaspoon of olive oil over the head of garlic,
add 1/4 cup water to the pan. Bake the garlic, loosely covered with aluminum
foil, for 45-60 minutes or until the cloves are soft. The cloves will slip
right out of their skins to be mashed, chopped or served whole. The whole
garlic cloves can be served as a side dish with any roast meat, the mashed
garlic cloves are also delicious mixed with hot homemade mashed potatoes.

From: “Barbara Klopp IAEA Vienna”

This one was originally posted months (years?) ago on the old Granola
list. The original recipe called for 1/2 cup of oil but I have made
it without this several times and found the flavors to be sharper. Put
in more of all of the herbs and spices if you want this to be *really*
spicy. It is good with rice and a bit of Indian garlic pickle on the
side.

BLACK BEANS, CUBAN STYLE (Serves 4-6)

1-2 bay leaves
a med. spoonful of Dijon or other strong-flavoured mustard
1 tbsp dark, strong-flavored vinegar
red wine to taste
a little red pimento, finely chopped (maybe 1/4 cup)

Wash and soak the beans overnight in water to cover. The next day,
saute the onion and green pepper until soft. Add black beans, along
with soaking water. Add remaining ingredients, stir well, cover, and
cook until beans are soft. Serve over rice with chopped onions on top.
