1 Cake mix *
1 Egg
1/2 c Oil
1/4 c Water
6 oz Chocolate chips **

Mix first 4 ingredients in a bowl until almost all the lumps are gone. Add
the
chocolate chips. Bake in a greased 9 X 13 pan at 350 degrees for 25
minutes.
Cool and cut into squares. * Suggested box cake mixes ~ Pillsbury Plus
Yellow,
Butter or Devil’s Food. I also used the Duncan Hines Fudge Marble mix.
You take
some of the batter and mix with the fudge packet. I needed to add a T or 2
of
water just enough to mix. First spread and pat down in pan the plain
yellow
mixture then I added the fudge mixture and swirled it in pan.
Came out great. ** Also may want to try butterscotch chips, or nuts for
variety.

Kidney Beans, Rice and Acorn Squash (or _What to Do With Acorn Squash_)

1 can Kidney beans
2 cups brown basmati rice, cooked
1/2 medium vidalia (yellow) onion, diced and sauted (carmelized)
3 tbs diced sundried tomato (gives a tangy bite to an otherwise sweet dish)
1 tbs dried basil
1/4 tsp red/cayenne pepper
1 tbs cardamom
1 tsp cumin (I didn’t try this)
3 slices acorn squash, cooked and diced small (1 cup or more)

Heat up kidney beans then mash beans with their liquid. Mix spices and
tomato with sauted onion, heat 2 minutes. Mix rice with mashed beans, add
onion/tomato mix, simmer 2 minutes, add acorn squash. Serves 2.

This has a pretty robust look to it, tastes sweet, spicey and a bit sour due
to the tomato. Capers may be added (1 tbs/cup) for a green juicy note. The
tomato may be wrong for this dish since the contrast is great, YMMV.

DOLMADAKIA (STUFFED GRAPELEAVES WITH RICE)

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 75 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Appetizers Ethnic
Vegetarian Rice

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
16 oz Grape leaves
3/4 c Extra virgin olive oil
3 Onions — more if desired
(shredded or minced finely)
1 3/4 c Rice
1 Lemon, juiced
– or more, to taste
Dill — very finely chopped
1 3/4 c -Hot water
3/4 ts Salt
1/4 ts Pepper

Sautee the onion with half the oil. Add the rice and
let cook for a few minutes. Add the dill, the hot
water and salt and pepper. Boil for about 5 minutes.
Let it cool.

Steam the grape leaves and rinse with plenty of water
in a collander.

Wrap the rice mixture with the grape leaves. This is
the most difficult and time consuming part, although
after you are through it a couple of times you enjoy
it the most. It is better if two people work on it
simultaneously, talking, joking etc. You want to make
them small in size (about 1-2 inches.) Do not hesitate
to cut big leaves in half. Discard the central stem of
these leaves and if you can reduce (with a sharp
knife) any other tough stems it would be good. You
want to wrap the rice very tightly. You place the rice
in one end, fold from the short end and the two sides
and then roll while pushing the rice downwards to pack
it really tight. You have to do it a couple of times
to understand. If they are not tightly packed they
will unroll later. Also be careful to wrap totally, do
not leave any holes.

You arrange the dolmadakia in a casserole, tightly.
Make more than one layers. Add the lemon juice, the
rest of the olive oil and 1 1/2 cups of hot water.
Cover them with a plate or something to keep them in
place. Let them simmer for 35 minutes.

Serve then cold, with strained yogurt or taramosalata.
Enjoy.
