Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :2:00
Categories : Artichoke Chicken
Persian Stew

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1 1/2 pounds chicken legs, skinless — cut up and defatted
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 medium onions — peel thinly slice
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground saffron — dissolved in
2 tablespoons hot water
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
3 cups chopped fresh parsley
1/2 cup chopped fresh mint
5 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 pound fresh artichoke hearts

STEP #1 – Heat a non-stick saute pan and lightly brown chicken. Add 1
tablespoon oil and the onion. Fry over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for
20 minutes or until onion becomes translucent. Add salt, pepper, saffron water,
and turmeric. Pour in 1 1/2 cups water. Cover and simmer over low heat for 30
minutes, stirring occasionally.

STEP #2 – In a non-stick skillet, fry the parsley and mint in 1 tablespoon oil
over medium heat for 10 minutes and add to the chicken.

STEP #3 – Add lime juice and the artichoke hearts to the chicken. Cover and
simmer for 40 to 55 minutes over low heat.

STEP #4 – Check to see if the artichoke hearts are tender. Taste the khoresh
and adjust seasoning. Transfer it to a deep casserole. Cover and place in a
warm oven until ready to serve.

STEP #5 – Serve hot from the same dish with steamed basmati; cook it very
slowly with a very tight fitting lid. Add salt to water to help rice withstand
a longer cooking time.

Nush-e jan! (Enjoy this food of life.)

VARIATIONS: For *ab ghureh* substitute 3/4 cup unripe grape juice for the lime
juice.
Frozen (2 9-oz pkgs) or bottled artichokes may be substituted. Drain well. If
pre-cooked, adjust cooking time, adding artichoke hearts when appropriate to
step 3.
Chicken can be replaced with 1 pound lean stew meat such as lamb, veal or beef,
cut into 1 inch cubes. In step 1, increase water to 2-1/2 cups; and simmer
for 55 minutes instead of 30 minutes.

BUBBIES CHICKEN SOUP

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 8 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Poultry Ethnic

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
Large Fowl — 6 lbs
1 Lg Kettle (10-12 qt.)
-Water — cover and bring
-to a boil
-Prepare
1 Lg Onion,
3 Celery stalks
1 Parsnip,
1 bn Carrot
1 bn Dill
1 bn Parsley — (a bunch of each).

Put the chicken in the pot and cover with water. When
the soup comes to a boil, skim off the top, add the
veggies, turn down to a simmer.
Keep the lid askew, and season to taste. It’s
wonderful and freezes well. Hint: put the dill and
parsley in the mesh onion bag, to make for easier
removal.
Most would say to throw the veggies out, but I like
to eat the carrots and the onion. The chicken is great
in sandwiches or salad. I love it hot by itself, but
you can put pieces in the soup when you serve. Add
rice or noodles (cooked elsewhere) and of course
there’s always matzo balls. Enjoy,

NOTE: If you can’t find a fowl, use a Perdue Oven
Roaster, cut up. A butcher gave me this tip once and I
now use it all the time. He cut it up too.

Title: CHOCOLATE-GILDED DANISH SUGAR CONES
Categories: Cookies
Yield: 16 servings

1/2 c Butter or margarine,
-softened
1/2 c Sugar
1/2 c All-purpose flour
2 Egg whites
1 t Vanilla
3 oz Bittersweet chocolate
-OR
1/2 c Semisweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 400’F. Generously grease 4 cookie sheets. Beat butter and
sugar in large bowl until light and fluffy. Blend in flour. In clean, dry
bowl, beat egg whites until frothy. Blend into butter mixture with
vanilla.

Using measuring teaspoon, place 4 mounds of dough, 4″ apart, on each
prepared cookie sheet. Spread mounds with back of spoon dipped in water to
3″ diameter. Bake, 1 sheet at a time, 5-6 minutes or until edges are just
barely golden. (Do not overbake or cookies become crisp too quickly and
are difficult to shape.) Remove from oven and quickly loosen each cookie
from cookie sheet with thin spatula. Shape each into a cone; cones become
firm as they cool. (If cookies become too firm to shape, return to oven
for a few seconds to soften.)

Melt chocolate in small bowl over hot, not boiling, water. Stir until
smooth. When all cookies are baked and cooled, dip flared ends into melted
chocolate. Let stand until chocolate is set. If desired, serve cones by
standing them in a bowl. (Adding about 1″ of sugar to bottom of bowl may
be necessary to hold them upright.)

Makes 16 cookies
