Title: Tuna Noodle Casserole
Categories: Pasta, Casseroles
Yield: 8 servings

8 oz Egg noodles
1 pk Frozen peas (10 oz)
1 cn Cream of mushroom soup (8oz)
1 c Milk
1 cn Tuna,drained (12 1/2 oz)
1/2 c Plain or seasoned bread
-crumbs tossed with
3 T Melted butter
-or
1/2 c Crushed Ritz crackers
-tossed with
3 T Melted butter or margarine

Heat the oven to 375’F. with the rack in the center position. Grease
or spray non-stick vegetable cooking spray on 1 medium to large
ovenproof baking dish, or two smaller dishes.

Cook the noodles according to the directions on the package, but
shorten the cooking time by 2 minutes. Drain the noodles and combine
with the peas, soup and milk. Mash the tuna with a fork to break it
up and add it to the noodles. Mix gently and spoon into prepared pan.
Sprinkle the crumbs over the top and bake for 35 minutes, until hot.

Variations: Add salt (taste first, as soup may be salted enough);
freshly grated black pepper; white pepper; snipped fresh herbs, such
as tarragon, or dried herbs. Also, if you’re not an avid fan of bread
crumbs, 2 cups may be too much. Toss 1/2 to 3/4 cups with 1
tablespoon melted butter or margarine for a light sprinkling.

Title: MANCHA MANTELES
Categories: Mexican, Loo
Yield: 8 servings

1 Small turkey, in serving
Pieces, or 2 chickens
1/2 c Lard
2 Ancho chiles, chopped
2 Pasilla chiles, chopped
2 Serrano chiles, chopped
4 oz Almonds,blanched,slivered
1 tb White sesame seeds
2 Chorizos, peeled/chopped
1 lg Onion, sliced thin
1/2 lb Tomatoes, peeled, seeded,
And chopped
1 ts Cinnamon powder
2 c Turkey or chicken stock
1 tb Sugar
5 ts Cider vinegar
1 ts Salt or to taste
4 oz Pineapple, chunked
2 Firm cooking apples,
Peeled, cored, sliced
1 lg Unripe banana, peeled
And sliced

This looks very much like Mancha manteles, which Richard [Manchurian
Candidate] Condon describes in The Mexican Stove:

Two little women staggered in from another room carrying a gigantic
bowl of something which was jetting hot perfume. The sen~ora hoped
I enjoyed mancha manteles. Reyes explained that this was the second
Mexican meal of my life, … but that he knew that I would -love-
mancha manteles. The sen~ora beamed and instructed me to eat heart-
ily, remembering that the translation of mancha manteles was: ta-
blecloth stainer. I was sweating hard as she overdid me the honor
of preparing my plate, a very wide plate, perhaps a foot in diam-
eter. The tablecloth stainer contains the following: one turkey,
four chorizo sausages, sliced pineapples, sliced apples, sliced
bananas, some pork; ancho, pasilla and serrano chiles; almonds,
cinnamon, lard, and tomato puree. Reyes scooped away as though
he had picked up a fake stomach at Macy’s. I got through it. …
A very peculiar physiological metamorphosis happened to Reyes
that afternoon. When he entered the chairman’s house he was a
well-set-up, definitely not stout fellow who spoke American with
a marked California accent. After that dinner he was not only a
stout man – and I mean a shorter, rounder, fatter man with a
pronounced paunch – but his speech changed. He would ramble in
the diction of a jazz musician or break into voluble Spanish.
Not that the sen~ora’s meal taught him to speak Spanish. He had
always spoken Spanish. But never to Jewish delicatessen waiters,
for example, or to austere British bootmakers.

Brown turkey in lard. Remove. Pour off fat, leaving 2 T in the pan. Fry
chiles, almonds, and sesame seeds together until fragrant. Blend to a puree
in a blender. Fry chorizo meat in the fat that remains in the pan. Remove.
In the same fat, cook onions until soft. Add blended mixture, tomatoes, and
cinnamon. Cook a few minutes and then turn out the whole mess into a large
casserole. Mix in the stock, sugar, vinegar, and salt. Taste for seasoning.
Add browned turkey pieces, chorizo meat, and fruit. Cover and simmer 45 min
to 1 hr. After Richard Condon’s recipe and description.

Lentil Loaf

2 c dry brown lentils, cooked in 6 c water with a bay leaf (about 45 min).
1 c dry bulgur wheat, cooked in 2 c water (about 15 min).
Preheat oven to 350.
In large bowl, mix cooked lentils, cooked bulgur, and all of the following:
–1 c soft bread crumbs
–2 egg whites or 1 egg substitute
–1/4-1/2 c catsup
–2 big onions, chopped
–6-8 cloves garlic, crushed
–lotsa thyme, oregano, tarragon. Some cumin, curry, pepper, garlic powder.
–1 regular-size (15 oz?) can tomato sauce
–1/4 c ff barbaque sauce
–next time I make it, I’m going to try adding some cooked carrots and
potatoes, and maybe some peas. Might add some nice color and textures.

Mix it all up and put it into a sprayed loaf pan, casserole dish, or
whatever. Bake for about 40 min. The oringinal recipe said to slice and
serve, but I find it comes out more of a scoop-and-serve consistency.
