Title: ELAINE’S BLINTZ SOUFFLE
Categories: Main dish, Jewish, Dairy
Yield: 12 servings

————————–BATTER————————–
1/2 ts Salt
1 1/2 c Flour
1 tb Baking powder
1 c Water
1 c Orange juice
6 Eggs
Butter; for pan

————————–FILLING————————–
2 lb Cottage cheese
2 Egg yolks
2 tb Sugar; to taste
2 pn Salt
1 tb Vanilla

BATTER:

1. Sift the flour with the salt and baking powder.
Beat eggs well, add water.

2. Add flour gradually to eggs, stirring constantly,
until batter is smooth and VERY thin. You can do the
whole thing in a Food Processor.

FILLING: Mix the filling ingredients well. You don’t
want them to be too soft. (It will still have ‘curds’)

ASSEMBLY: Pour half of the batter in a buttered 9×13″
pan. Layer the cottage cheese filling on top and cover
with the rest of the batter. Some of the cottage
cheese will “float” Bake for 50 to 60 minutes in a
375deg. oven.

TO SERVE: Cut into squares and serve with sour cream
and fresh cut fruit, like strawberries and/or
blueberries. A bit of sour cream wouldn’t hurt either.

APPEARANCE: It IS a thin batter and things do run
together a bit . That is what makes it light and
puffy, not sit in your stomach heavy, ! You WILL
never get all the curds out, that is fine. Have you
ever eaten a GOOD blintz? It too has curds.

NOTE: I first created and served this calorie laden
dish on Yom Kippur of 1994 to break the fast. It is
basically my Blintz recipe, prepared a different way.
I made it about a week ahead, and froze. It took about
an hour to thaw and heat in a 375 degree oven.

3 Onions
1 lb Ground chuck
2 Garlic cloves, minced
1 c Barbeque sauce (I think I
-used K.C. Masterpiece)
1 c Water
1 T Chili powder
1 t Black pepper
1/2 oz Unsweetened chocolate,
-grated
1/2 t Ground cumin
1/2 t Turmeric
1/2 t Allspice
1/2 t Cinnamon
1/4 t Ground cloves

9 oz Spaghetti, cooked and
-buttered
1 16-oz can kidney beans,

-oyster crackers

Chop 2 of the onions and set aside. Chop remaining onion fine. Salt a
large skillet. Turn heat to medium and add meat, finely chopped onion,
and garlic. Break up meat with fork and cook until it is browned.
Drain fat.

Add barbeque sauce and water. Bring to a boil. Add remaining
seasonings.

Cover and simmer over very low heat 30 minutes, stirring and tasting
occasionally, adding tomato juice if mixture is getting too dry. Chili
is best when allowed to age overnight in refrigerator and reheated.

To construct the plate of 5-way chili, layer spaghetti on a plate (a
small oval plate is traditional), top it with hot chili, then with a
sparse layer of beans, then chopped onions. Pat on plenty of cheese
while chili is still hot and serve immediately, with oyster crackers on
the side. Serves 4.

HTIPITI TIROSALATA (WHIPPED CHEESE SALAD)

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
Tsouskes
Oil for frying peppers
1 lb Feta cheese
3 tb Oil

Tsouskes are hot spicy peppers. Of course the best is
green long peppers which grow only in Macedonia are
extremely hot and very tasty.

You fry them in oil, you peel their skin and you chop
them into very small pieces. How many it depends on
how hot they are and how spicy you can eat. After, you
cut about 1 pound of feta in to small pieces and you
mix it with the peppers. Add about 3 table spoons of
olive oil. Work all the ingredients with the fork
until it becomes a paste. Be carefull: I said with
fork. Not with food processor, not with goudhi. Just
FORK. 🙂

You are all set. Enjoy with bread or crackers as
appetizer.
