1) *Make seafood stock from shrimp heads and shells,
crab bodies, fish carcasses or all of the above,
substituting ham hocks, chicken backs, or necks, or
other meats depending on availability. (For the 4
quarts of stock you will need about 4 pounds of
shells, bones and meat.) Bring to a boil, lower heat
and simmer several hours. Strain the stock, discarding
solids. (If time is a factor, simmer shrimp heads and
shells and ham hocks in chicken stock for at least an
hour.) 2) Cook okra in the oil in a large, heavy pot
over medium heat, stirring and scraping until some of
the sliminess is gone; about 15 minutes. Add tomatoes,
onions, celery, garlic, peppers, vinegar, the
seasoning and herb mix and cook over low to medium
heat for about 1/2 hour, stirring and scraping often.
3) Blend the roux into the okra and tomato mixture.
Very slowly blend the stock into the mixture. Simmer
about 1 hour. 4) Add crab and shrimp and simmer 10 to
15 minutes. Add oysters and simmer about 5 minutes.
Add green onions. Serve over rice with file` powder
added to taste at the table. (File` powder should not
be cooked.) Source: Overton Anderson

Title: Georgian (Russia) Garlic Salad (Aka Marinated Garlic)
Categories: Salad/dress, Vegetables, Vegetarian
Yield: 4 servings

50 To 75 cloves of garlic,
Peeled
1 c Extra virgin olive oil
1/2 c Fresh lemon juice (or
Balsamic vinegar)
1/2 ts Salt
1 ts Freshly ground or cracked
Black pepper
1 tb Herbs (oregano is nice, or
Create your own mixture)

Start by peeling all that garlic. Now bring a saucepan of water to
boil. Once the water is boiling, turn off heat and drop garlic cloves
into hot water. Let sit in water for 3 to 5 minutes. (Use the
shorter time if you like a sharper raw garlic flavor; the longer time
results in a much milder garlic flavor.) Remove garlic and plunge
into (or rinse thoroughly with) cold water to stop the cloves from
“cooking” any further.

Dissolve the salt into the lemon juice. Now make a “viniagrette” with
the olive oil, lemon juice/salt, pepper and herbs. Place garlic into
jars and pour oil mixture to top the cloves. Refrigerate for a
minimum of 1 week.

After one week, eat straight (or, for the faint of heart, slice up
garlic and mix with your salad greens). Be sure to keep refrigerated.
I don’t know how long this will last in the refrigerator because I
eat it up too fast.

4 cups dry white (navy) beans
1 oz hijiki sea vegetable
2 cups cooked rice
1 small red cabbage, diced small
2 tbs balsamic vinegar
tamari sauce to taste

Cook beans until tender, add hijiki towards end of cooking process (so it
won’t fall apart), saute diced red cabbage in vinegar and water until tender.
Mix beans, rice and red cabbage. Add tamari sauce to taste. Let sit a few
minutes so flavors will blend. Looks like veg-scrapple, but tastes pretty
good. It is good without the tamari, sort of sweet and vinegary.
