Source: MAINBEEF.ZIP

Season the veal scallops with pepper, then dip them in flour and
shake off excess. In a heavy skillet, melt margarine with olive oil
over moderate heat. When foam subsides, add veal scallops four or
five at a time, and saute them until golden brown. Transfer the veal
scallops to a plate. Pour off most of the fat from the skillet,
leaving a thin film on the bottom. Add 1/2 cups beef stock and let
boil briskly for a few minutes, stirring constantly. Scrape in any
browned bits clinging to the bottom and sides of the pan. Return the
veal to the skillet and arrange lemon slices on top. Cover skillet
and simmer over low heat for 10 to 15 minutes or until veal is tender
when pierced with a knife. Transfer scallops to a heated platter and
surround with lemon slices. Add the 1/4 cup of remaining beef stock
to the juices in the skillet and oil briskly until stock turns to a
syrupy glaze. Add the lemon juice and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
Pour sauce over scallops. Serves 6.

Note: Veal cubes (stewing meat) may be substituted. Pound as flat as
possible. Follow directions above, but cooking time will be increased

Title: TANGY SPINACH SALAD
Categories: Salads, Kooknet
Yield: 8 servings

1 1/2 lb Fresh Spinach
8 oz Fresh Bean Sprouts
8 1/2 oz Can Water Chestnuts, drained
And sliced
5 sl Bacon, fried, drained and
Crumbled
2 Hard-Cooked Eggs, sliced

——————TANGY SPINACH DRESSING——————
2/3 c Salad Oil
1/4 c Granulated Sugar
1/3 c Catsup
1/2 c White or Red Wine Vinegar
1/3 c Green Onion, finely chopped
1 tb Worcestershire Sauce

Trim and discard tough spinach stems. Rinse leaves and
pat dry. Tear into bite-sized pieces. Layer the
sprouts, water chestnuts and spinach into your salad
bowl (in that order, so that the spinach leaves won’t
get sorry from being underneath the water chestnuts.)
On top of the spinach leaves, add the crumbled bacon
and the chopped egg. Cover and refrigerate.

Combine all the dressing ingredients in a jar or bowl.
Shake, or blend well with a wire whip.

Just before serving, pour dressing over the salad and
toss well. Sprinkle on toasted sesame seeds and toss
again.

Note: To toast sesame seeds, place in a small, heavy,
ungreased skillet over medium-high heat. Toast until
you hear the seeds begin to pop, shaking the pan to
keep the seeds from scorching.

RICE BARLEY STUFFING FOR CORNISH HENS

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Side dish Poultry

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1/2 c Rice
2 tb Butter
2 1/4 c Water (or more)
2 Chicken broth cubes
1/3 c Barley
8 oz Cranberries, fresh — OR…
16 oz -Canned cranberry sauce
— with gel rinsed off
Sugar
– if using fresh cranberries
2 ts Bitter orange marmalade
— (heaping measure), OR…
— half marmalade -and-
— half diced orange peel
2 tb Orange juice
1/3 c Raisins
2 ts Rubbed sage
2 ts Tarragon
1/2 ts Sweet marjoram
1 t Crushed rosemary
Salt and pepper — to taste

Brown the rice in the butter, then add 1-1/4 to 1-1/2
cups water and chicken cube; cook until soft.

Cook barley in 1 cup water and second chicken cube for
45 minutes, or until tender.

If using fresh cranberries, cook briefly with a little
sugar to soften somewhat and create a little juice.

Mix the remaining ingredients with the cooked rice and
barley. Stuff the Cornish hens and cook according to
instructions on package. I like to brush the stuffed
birds with melted butter and sprinkle with salt,
pepper, crushed basil, and tarragon.

The stuffing may be frozen for future use.

VARIATION: Substitute sliced mushrooms for the raisins.
