Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 cup medium pearl barley
2 cups water
2 kirby cucumbers
1 medium yellow squash
1 medium zucchini
1/2 cup mayonnaise
–regular or low fat
2 tablespoons tarragon vinegar
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
salt and freshly ground black peper
1 pound jar pickled beets

In a heavy 2 to 3 quart saucepan heat the vegetable oil; add the barley and
cook the grain, stirring constantly, until it smells toasty. Remove the
saucepan from the heat. Averting your face, add the water (it will bubble
up furiously) Return the saucepan to the heat, cover and cook for about 2O
to 25 minutes or until barley has absorbed the liquid and is just tender.
Transfer the barley to a sieve and drain under cold water; pat dry and set
aside.

During the time it takes to cook the barley, peel, halve and seed the
cucumbers and cut them into 1/2 inch half moons. Halve and seed the
zucchini and yellow squash, cut them into 1/2 inch half moons and parboil
them for a minute, drain and pat dry.

In the bottom of a mixing bowl combine the mayonnaise, vinegar and dill;
season well with salt and pepper. To the dressing add the cooked barley,
cucumbers and squash and toss well; adjust the seasoning.

On the outside edge of a serving platter, make a ring of drained sliced
pickled beets. Pile the barley salad in the middle and center some
watercress leaves in the middle of the salad.

Yield: 4 servings

GREAT GLUTEN TURKEY

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 12 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Vegetarian Holiday

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1/2 Yard, cheesecloth
2 tb Poultry flavoring mix
1 1/2 c — water
1 tb Soy margarine or oil
2 tb White wine or gluten stock
2 Sheets,bean curd sheet–
-aka yuba
2 c Dressing of choice
—–GLUTEN—–
5 oz (fl) Vital wheat guluten flr
1 oz (fl) whole wheat pastry flor
1 tb Poultry flavoring mix
5 oz — water

Mix the flours, water and flavor mix. Dough should be
firm, add more flour if it is not. Roll the gluten out
into a rectangle, place on the spread-out cheesecloth
and loosely fold edges over it to meet in the middle
(this is to keep it from getting glued to itself
during cooking). Then roll it up lengthwise (loosely
to allow for expansion).

Tie the ends and and around the middle with string.
Make sure you allow for expansion to 2-3 times its
original size.

Place this in a pot with the water and seasoning and
bring to a boil, then lower to simmering for 1 1/2
hours. Turn at least once during cooking. This can be
done two days in advance.

Prepare your dressing and remove the gluten from the
stock (which will be used for gravy). Unroll the
gluten and fill with the dressing or mound the
dressing on the baking pan and tuck the gluten around
it.

Reconstitute the bean curd sheets by soaking for 5
minutes in hot water. They’ll turn white and pliable
but will be fragile. Cover the cooked gluten roll with
2 or 3 layers of this. Brush the “turkey” with the oil
or melted soy margarine between layers and on top. Mix
the wine or stock with the remaining oil ormargarine
and use this to baste thile baking. Two T seasoning
mix may be added to the stock for more flavor.

Place in a pre-heated 350 degree oven and bake for 45
min to 1 hour, basting every 15 minutes. If it begins
to brown toomuch, cover loosely with aluminum foil.

Carve and serve with stuffing.

Title: SCALLION PANCAKES #2
Categories: Chinese, Pancakes
Yield: 6 servings

2 c All-purpose flour
1 ts Salt
1 c Boiling water
Peanut Oil
1/2 c Chopped whole scallions

Place flour and salt in a large mixing bowl.
Gradually pour in boiling water, stirring with a
wooden spoon to mix. When cool enough to handle,
knead with your hands about 10 minutes until the dough
is elastic. Place dough in a bowl and cover with a
damp dish towel for 30 minutes.

Roll the dough out to a rectangular shape
approximately 1/4 x 10 x 15 inches. Brush the top
lightly with peanut oil. Sprinkle scallions over the
entire surface of the dough. Starting from one end,
roll up the dough as you would a carpet. Cut the roll
into 6 thick slices. Flatten each slice slightly with
your hand. Roll out each piece, turning it to keep it
circular, until it is 1/4 inch thick and about 6
inches in diameter. Keep the finished pancakes covered
with a damp towel while you are working.

Heat skillet over high heat and pour in oil t 1/4 inch
deep. When oil is hot, turn heat to medium low. Cook
pancakes one at a time, about 30 seconds on each side,
until they are golden in color. Cut into wedges and
serve warm.

Pancakes may be reheated in the oven before serving.
