1 cup of couscous
2 cups of boiling water
1 1/2 cups of frozen yellow corn
2 cups cooked black beans
1 small onion, chopped
a few sliced scallions
about 16 cherry tomatoes, halved
4 cloves of garlic, minced
1/2 of a habenero pepper, minced
fresh cilentro leaves – I used lots, at least 1/2 cup
salt, cumin and rice vinegar to taste

Put the couscous in a large bowl. Pour the 2 cups of boiling water over
it. Cover the bowl. When the couscous has absorbed the water (about
20 mins.), add the frozen corn and mix. The heat from the couscous will
thaw the corn. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well. This tastes
great at room temperature. I’m having a big bowl of it for lunch today.

Electric Bread Bread

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
3/4 cup water — lukewarm
2 cups white bread flour
2 tablespoons brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon active dry yeast

1. Insert ingredients in bread machine according to manufacturer’s instruction
s. Remove the dough from the machine after the first knead – approximately 20
to 30 minutes.

2. Place dough on a floured surface. Divide into 5 parts. Form balls, gently
press thumb through center of ball and slowly stretch into bagel shape.

3. While bagels rise, bring three quarts of water and one tablespoon of sugar
to a rapid boil in a large saucepan. Drop test dough (see hints below).

4. Using a slotted spoon, drop 2-3 bagels into rapidly boiling water. Boil on
each side for 1/2 minutes. Remove and cool on rack 1 minute, brush with egg
and sprinkle with sesame or poppy seeds, if desired.

5. Bake at 400 on a baking sheet sprinkled with cornmeal, until golden – appro
ximately 15 minutes.

** Bagel Success Hints

** When forming the bagels, set aside two 1/4″ balls of dough. When the bagels
have doubled in size, drop the test dough into boiling water. The dough shoul
d pop to the top right away. When this happens, it is time to boil the bagels.

** A quick spray of non-stick vegetable coating on the top of the bagel may be
substituted for the egg wash.

** To make bagel sticks, cut bagel before rising and lay out in a straight line
. Roll sticks in a combination of sesame and poppy seeds with a pinch of garl
ic powder. Let sticks rise, boil, and bake as described in the above direction
s.

** To make bagel chips, slice leftover bagels horizontally into thin slices. B
ruish with butter or margarine on one side. Lay (butter side up) on an ungreas
ed cookie sheet and bake at 325 for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
