Title: SAUTEED ZUCCHINI AND MUSHROOMS IN SPICY SAUCE
Categories: Chinese, Vegetables
Yield: 4 servings

3 Slender, firm young zucchini
1/2 lb Fresh button mushrooms
1 tb Sichuan vegetable, washed
-and minced
2 Cloves garlic, minced
8 sm Dried chilies
4 tb Peanut oil
1/2 c Chicken stock
1 ts Thin soy sauce
1 tb Sherry
1 tb Brown bean sauce
1/4 ts Sugar
1 ts Yellow rice vinegar
Cornstarch paste to thicken

This dish is intended to be a simple statement using
seasonal vegetables.

Preparation: Trim zucchini and mushrooms. Slice
zucchini in half lengthwise, then roll-cut or simply
slice on bias in thick 2″ long sections. Zucchini
should be bite-size but not chunky. Cut mushrooms in
half through the stem. Wash, then finely mince
Sichuan vegetable (this is the secret ingredient!).
Rinse chilies; leave whole. Com- bine stock, soy
sauce, sherry, bean sauce, sugar, and vinegar in bowl;
reserve.

Stir-frying: Heat oil in very hot wok. Just before
oil smokes, add zucchini, mushrooms, Sichuan
vegetable, garlic, and chilies; stir-fry for about 1
minute, tossing continuously so vegetables do not
scorch. Add liquid ingredients; bring to boil; dribble
in cornstarch paste to make a light sauce (it should
not have a gravy look); then combine sauce well with
vegetables. Serve when zucchini is still slightly
undercooked.

TYROPITTAKIA (CHEESE PIES)

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 25 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Appetizers Vegetarian
Pies

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
8 oz Feta cheese
2 oz Gruyere cheese or cottage
Cheese (see note)
2 Eggs (lightly beaten)
–
2 tb Fresh mint or dill, finely
Chopped
8 To 10 sheets of fillo pastry
3 oz Melted butter
Oil for greasing

Preheat the oven to 350 F/ 180 C/ gas mark 4.

To make the filling, drain the feta of its salty water
and crumble into a bowl with a fork or fingers. Add
the Gruyere/cottage cheese, eggs and dill/mint to the
Feta and mix well.

Cut the whole stack of fillo pastry into 3/4 long
strips about 3 inches wide. Brush each sheet with
melted butter, place a (quite heaped) teaspoon of
filling at one end (in the corner). Fold over
diagonally to cover and keep folding into triangular
pies – making sure that all sides have as many layers
as possible to avoid spillage. Place the pies on an
oiled baking sheet, brush the tops with butter and
bake for 20 minutes or until crisp and light golden.

Good when warm – can keep for a few days in an
airtight container.

You could also use more spinach instead of the herbs
and decrease the amount of cheese used proportionally.

(note: Here in the UK Feta is saltier than in Greece
so this is why these ingredients are added)
