CLASSIC SWISS FONDUE

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : None

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1 Clove garlic, halved
8 fl Dry white wine
1 t Lemon juice
8 oz Grated Gruyere cheese
8 oz Grated Emmental cheese
1 t Cornflour
1 tb Kirsch
Pieces of cubed French

Method:

Rub the inside of the fondue pot with cut clove of
garlic. Pour in wine and lemon juice and heat gently
until bubbling. Reduce the heat to low, and gradually
stir in grated cheeses, then continue to heat until
cheeses melt, stirring frequently. (This stage can
take a looooong time.) In a small bowl, blend
cornflour smoothly with kirsch, then stir into cheese
mixture and continue to cook for 2-3 minutes until
mixture is thick and smooth, stirring frequently. Do
not allow fondue to boil. Serve with the bread.

(Serves 4-6)

Title: CANDIED GRAPEFRUIT
Categories: Fruits/nuts, Desserts, Candies
Yield: 1 servings

3 Plump, pink grapefruit,
– preferably organic
2 1/2 c Sugar
1 1/4 c Water
2 tb Corn syrup
Superfine sugar; for coating
5 oz Semisweet chocolate
1 tb Butter

SCORE GRAPEFRUIT INTO QUARTERS and carefully pull off peels or juice fruits
and cut halves again in half. Place peels in large pan, cover them with
cold water and bring to boil. Simmer 25 minutes. Remove peels and let them
cool until they are easy to handle. Hold peels firmly against counter and
gently scrape away most of white pith just below skin. Cut cleaned peels
into strips with knife or scissors as narrow or wide as you like. In
2-quart saucepan, mix together sugar, water and corn syrup. Bring to boil.
When syrup is clear, add peels, lower heat and cook slowly until peels are
translucent, about 1 hour. Set cake rack over baking sheet. Remove peels a
few at a time and spread them out on rack to drain about 15 minutes. While
they are draining, thickly cover large plate with super- fine sugar. Set
several pieces at a time in sugar and turn them to coat them. When evenly
coated, set them aside on another plate or piece of parchment paper thinly
coated with sugar. This process will need to be done in several batches. If
sugar become lumpy with beads of syrup, pass it through a strainer, then
continue using it. Set aside sugared peels about 1 hour or until they are
dried. Carefully package them in tin or plastic container and store either
in cupboard or refrigerator. To dip peels in chocolate, melt semisweet
chocolate over simmering water along with butter. Stir well to ensure that
mixture is smooth before removing from heat. Dip each rind into chocolate,
coating most of it but leaving a little “handle” to grasp. Or, completely
immerse each rind in chocolate, then remove with 2 forks or pair of
chopsticks. Set slices on parchment paper or cake rack and place in cool
place to harden. Once chocolate has set, pieces can be stored in
refrigerator. Chocolate will discolor when it cools but will become dark
and glossy again once brought to room temperature. Makes 3 Cups

Brooklyn Bagels

Recipe By : (Nadia Jorgensen)
Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Breads Vegetarian
Vegan Eat-Lf Mailing List

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour — unbleached (see note)
1/2 c vital wheat gluten
1 1/2 t salt
***
1/4 c warm water
1 pkt active dry yeast — (or 1 scant T)
***
1 c hot water
1 T barley malt extract — (liquid)
***
1/2 cup all-purpose flour — (1/2 to 1)(see note)
unbleached
***
2 qt water
3 T barley malt extract

In a large bowl, mix together the first three ingredients.

Then soften the yeast in a small bowl with 1/4c water.

Dissolve malt extract in 1 cup hot water.

Let malt mixture cool down to warm. Make a well in the center of
the flour mixture. Pour into the well, in this order: Softened
yeast mixture, malt water.

Stir together until smooth. Beat this dough vigorously to develop
the gluten. To make a very stiff dough, gradually add the flour.

Turn out on a floured surface and knead for a full 10 minutes.
Divide dough into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball.
Cover balls of dough with a cloth and work with one at a time.
Place the ball on a very lightly floured surface. Flatten slightly.
Poke the center of the ball with a forefinger, going all the way
through. Now use the fingers of both hands to gently open up the
ring. Try to keep the doughnut-shaped roll you are forming
symmetrical. The hole should be about one-third of the bagel’s
diameter. Place shaped rings on a non-stick baking sheet. Cover
and let rise for 15 to 20 minutes. They should not quite double
in size. Meanwhile, ready the boiling liquid. In a large pot,
heat the water.

Stir the malt barley into water.

Heat to boiling. Reduce heat and keep regulated to a healthy
simmer. Preheat oven to 475 degrees F. One at a time, slip risen
bagels into simmering water. Bagels should float. If they sink,
do not worry. They will soon rise to the surface. After about
30 seconds, turn them over. They should remain in the water about
1 minute in all. You may simmer several at a time, but do not
crowd them in the pot. Remove with a skimmer and place one inch
apart on a non-stick baking sheet. Brush bagels with a mixture
of 1 egg and 1 T water. If desired, sprinkle with coarse salt or
poppy seeds.

Bake at 475 degrees F. for 10 to 12 minutes, or until well-browned.
Cool slightly on wire racks. Serve warm.

Note: In place of unbleached white flour, equal parts of
stone-ground rye flour, stone-ground whole-wheat flour,
and unbleached all-purpose flour may be used.
