Title: EGGLESS MAYO (“BETTER ‘N HELLMAN’S”)
Categories: Vegetarian
Yield: 1 servings

1 c Edensoy (Original)
2 2/3 c Oil
2 tb Cider Vinegar
1 tb Maple Syrup (or sugar)
1 ts Salt

——————————–NOW TRY THIS——————————–

Directions: Place soy milk in food processor (or blender). Put on lowest
setting. Drizzle oil into soy milk. Add other ingredients. I add about
the same amount of lemon juice in addition to the vinegar. Someatimes I add
one tablespoon of dry mustard. You’ve got to try adding basil and/or sage
and/or oregeno.

I’ve also never had a problem adding all the vinegar, syrup, salt, etc. to
the soy milk first and then adding the oil.

You cannot fail. Try it.

I got the basic recipe from Shirley Wilkes-Johnson. She is a gourmet cook
and inventor.

Title: MOZZARELLA CHEESE
Categories: Dairy
Yield: 20 servings

-Karen Visocky DDVD62B.
4 ga Whole milk
5 1/2 ts Citric acid
1 c Cool water
1 ts Liquid rennet
1/4 c -Cool water

MOZZARELLA CHEESE: This recipe is for a no
incubating, nopressing, and no curing Quick Mozzarella
that freezes well,melts with the appropriate stringy,
chewey texture and is good used just for slicing and
eating, too.
1. Heat 4 gallons of milk to 88 degrees F. (use a
large stainless or enameled kettle)
2. Add 5 1/2 tea. citric acid dissolved in 1 c. cool
water. (Citric acid can be found in the ‘canning
supply’section of the grocery; it is used to increase
acidity in tomatoes)
3. Stir for 3 mins.
4. Add 1 tea. liquid rennet diluted in 1/4 c. cool
water. (Rennet is available in specialty shops and
where wine making supplies are sold.) Stir in quickly
as it sets in only 15 seconds.
5. Let set 10 mins., then cut curd into 1/2″ cubes.
(Cut from top of pan and then at an angle from 2 or 3
sides of the pan)
6. Let set for 10 mins.
7. Heat slowly to 105 degrees, stirring, then turn
off the heat and stir slowly, for 10 more mins.
(Heating to 105 deg. will take about 15 mins.)
8. Pour into a colander (can be lined with a layer of
cheese cloth) and let drain for 5 mins.
9. Remove to counter top and cut into 1″ strips
10. Drop into one gallon of 170 degree water.
11. Stir, stretch, beat and pummel for 10 mins.
Cheese will become smooth and silky.
12. Remove from water and knead as bread dough to
remove any excess water and whey. Shape into a loaf.
13. Cover with very cold water until firm.
14. Soak in brine for 2 days. Make brine by
dissolving 1/4 C salt in 2 C water. Make additional
brine as needed to just cover cheese in a covered
container and put into refrigerator.
15. After cheese has set in brine for 2 days, drain
off the brine, dry and wrap for storage in the
refrigerator.
16. EAT! If you wish to make String Cheese of this
‘R’, when you get to step 12, after kneading, do not
shape into loaf, but put the cheese into another
gallon of 170 deg. water and stretch and fold the
cheese. After folding and stretching several times,
stretch the cheese out to about 3′ in length and fold
together once. Twist together tightly, fold and twist
again,then fold and twist once more until you cannot
twist it tighter. (Cont.) This is the “braiding” that
forms the strings. Soak in the brine for 2 – 3 days,
then remove from brine, dry and pull apart into large
strings to serve or wrap tightly to store. A dairy
thermometer is the most accurate for cheesemaking and
floats to keep a constant check on the temp. From

CURRIED EGGPLANT STRUDEL

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Appetizers Rcrockett
Vegetables

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1 large eggplant — peeled/diced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped onion
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 garlic clove — minced
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 cup chopped canned tomatoes
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground saffron
1/4 cup vinegar
1/2 cup roasted peanuts — chopped
1 pound frozen phyllo dough (24 sheets) — defrosted
3/4 pound unsalted butter — clarified
1 cup plain yogurt

Toss the eggplant with the salt and set aside for 30
minutes. Wrap in a towel and squeeze out any excess
moisture. Set aside.

In a skillet, saute the onion in the olive oil over medium
heat until soft, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic, curry
powder, cumin and chili powder, and cook 2 more minutes.

Add the reserved eggplant, tomatoes and sugar. Mix the
saffron into the vinegar and add to mixture. Simmer for 15
minutes, until the eggplant is soft. Add a bit of water if
the mixture should become too dry.

Add the peanuts and cool completely.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Place a sheet of phyllo on a clean work surface and drizzle
lightly with clarified butter. Layer five more sheets,
drizzling a bit more butter atop each layer. Brush the top
layer with butter.

Place a quarter of the filling over the sheets, mounding
more of it along one of the longer sides. Roll the sheets
up jelly roll-style, starting at the edge with the mounded
filling. Place seam-side down on a greased sheet pan and
brush with more cla rified butter. Make three more strudels
using the rest of the phyllo and the remaining filling and
butter.

On sheet pans, bake in the preheated oven until golden
brown, about 25 to 30 minutes, moving the pans front to
back and top to bottom halfway through. Let rest for 10
minutes before serving.

Cut the strudel in 1-inch-thick slices and top with yogurt.
