This Guyanese dish is from Bridgette de Souza at Caribbean Gardens. In
Guyana, taro leaves are called ‘callaloo.’

Put the pig’s tail in pot and cover with water; bring to a boil, and
boil for 1 hour. Drain and set aside. Brown beef in oil, then add
tripe and water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and cook at a gentle
boil for about 1 hour. Add pig’s tail and cook until liquid has
reduced to about 3 cups. Cut tripe into pieces and cut meat from
pig’s foot; return meats to pot.

Add onion, garlic, taro leaves, Habanero, coconut milk and salt and
pepper to taste. Simmer for 10 minutes. Add rice. Cover the pot,
reduce the heat and simmer for about 30 minutes, until mixture “looks
nice and green.” Garnish with chopped red pepper.

Serves 8 to 10.

NOTE: Taro leaves are available at South Seas Market in San Bruno,
(415) 873-2813, and East Bay Market in Oakland, (510) 533-3888, as

Spinach Pie In Phyllo Dough

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 12 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Greek Low-Cholesterol
Vegetables

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
12 Sheet Phyllo Pastry — sheets
Vegetable Oil Spray — olive oil
1 Clove Garlic — crushed
4 Tablespoons Olive Oil
40 Ounces Spinach, Frozen — chopped
1 Cup Chopped Parsley — fresh
4 Whole Green Onion — finely chopped
1 Teaspoon Dried Dill Weed
Or:
4 Tablespoons Dill — fresh,finely chopped
1/4 Teaspoon Nutmeg
1/2 Teaspoon Salt
1/2 Teaspoon Pepper
1 Cup Cottage Cheese, Lowfat
1 Whole Egg White
4 Ounces Feta cheese — crumbled

Thaw and drain the 4 10 oz. packages of spinach.

Crush the garlic into the olive oil. Set aside.

To make the filling, squeeze the spinach between your hands to remove most of
t
he liquid. Place in a bowl or in a food processor. Add the parsley, green
onio
ns, dill, nutmeg, salt and pepper. Stir in the cottage cheese, egg white and
fe
ta. Combine w
ell. Lightly coat a 9 x 13 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

Lay one sheet of phyllo in the bottom of the dish and drape the edges over
the
sides of the dish. Spray lightly with cooking spray and cover with another
shee
t of phyllo dough. Brush that sheet with the garlic-olive oil mixture. Layer
a
total of four
sheets, coating each alternately with nonstick cooking spray and olive oil.
Sp
read half the filling over the prepared phyllo dough. Lay another sheet of
doug
h over the filling and coat lightly with cooking spray. Lay down another sheet
and lightly co
at with olive oil. Continue alterating spray and olive oil for a total of four
sheets. Layer remaining spinach filling on dough.

Continue layering phyllo dough over the filling, spraying the first sheet and
a
lternately brushing with olive oil and spraying subsequent sheets.

When finished, brush the surface with olive oil and roll the edges of the
dough
inward to create an attractive rim around the outside. Score the surface with
a
sharp knife into 12 portions.

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Bake for 40 minutes until golden. Allow to
cool
10 minutes before serving. Makes 12 portions.

Test kitchen notes: Phyllo means “leaf” in Greek. The dough is usually
availa
ble in the frozen food section of most supermarkets or in Greek or Middle
Easter
n markets. For best results, allow dough to defrost overnite in the
refrigerato
r. Keep it co
vered with wax paper and a damp towel while making pie.
