Title: Savory Shepherd’s Pie, Revised
Categories: Casseroles, Vegetarian, Mash, Favorites, Meal pies
Yield: 4 servings

5 Potatoes, peel, boil
3 cl Garlic, minced
1/2 t Dried basil, crushed
2 T Butter
1/4 t Salt
Milk for mashed potatoes
1 md Onion, chpd
2 md Carrot, sliced
15 oz Cn red kidney beans,
-rinsed, drained
14 1/2 oz Cn whole tomatoes, cut up
10 oz Corn
8 oz Cn tomato sauce
1 t Worcestershire sauce
1/2 t Sugar
1 c Cheddar cheese, shredded

In a small saucepan cook garlic and dried basil in
butter 15 secs. Add to mashed potatoes along with
salt. Gradually beat in enough milk to make light and
fluffy. Set aside. For filling, in a medium saucepan
cook onion and carrot in hot oil until onion is tender
but not brown. Stir in kidney beans, tomatoes and
their juice, corn, tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce,
and sugar. Heat until bubbly.
Transfer vegetable mixture to an 8x8x2″ square baking
pan. Spread mashed potatoes over top. Sprinkle with
cheddar cheese. Bake, uncovered, in a 375F oven 10
minutes or until heated through and cheese begins to
brown.

This is really very good. I’d like to cut back on the
beans and maybe add TVP® with it or even (gasp) tofu.
I changed the recipe a bit, especially where the
tomatoes were concerned. I was supposed to drain them
but didn’t.

INFUSED OILS – MA LA OIL “CHINA MOON”

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1 c Oil, Corn or Peanut
1 c Oil, Sesame, Japanese
1/2 c Scallions, green white
– cut in rings
15 Ginger quarter-size coins
– smashed
2 tb Peppercorns, Szechwan brown
2/3 c Chile Flakes, dried red
-shockingly pungent
2 ts Salt, Kosher

Combine all ingredients in a heavy, non aluminum 1 1/2
quart saucepan. Rest a deep-fry thermometer on the rim
of the pot. Over moderately low heat, bring the
mixture to a bubbly 225 degrees stirring occasionally.
Let simmer for 15 minutes, checking to ensure the
temperature does not rise. Remove from the heat and
let stand until cool or overnight.

Strain the oil without pressing the solids; then,
discard the solids. Store the oil in an impeccably
clean glass jar at cool room temperature.

Because of the large proportion of sesame oil, this is
a rich oil. A little bit goes a long way. A spoonful
added to a salad dressing or brushed on the plate on
which a fish will steam or on the skin of a just
smoked or roasted bird gives an inimitable touch of
lushness. If you are a bread baker, brush a bit on
your next loaf, if you are tossing pasta, drizzle a
bit on the noodles just before serving.

3 1/2 c All-purpose flour
2 c Whole wheat flour
2 c Cracked wheat; -=OR=-
1 c -Cornmeal
1 c Rye flour
1/2 c Nonfat dry milk
4 ts Kelp powder
4 c Beef or chicken broth

—————————GLAZE—————————
1 lg Egg
2 tb Milk

Place 2 oven racks in the upper lower thirds of the
oven. Preheat oven to 300F. Sprinkle the dry yeast or
crumble the compressed yeast over the water (110F if
dry, 100F if compressed). Add the pinch of sugar
allow yeast to sit in a draft-free spot for 10-20 min.

The mixture should be full of bubbles. If not, the
yeast is too old to be useful. Stir well to dissolve
the yeast. In a large bowl, place all the dry
ingredients stir well to blend them. Add the yeast
mixture 3 c broth. Using your hands, in the bowl,
mix to form the dough, adding more broth if needed to
make the dough smooth supple. Half a batch at a
time, knead the dough briefly on a lightly floured
counter. (Keep the 2nd batch of dough covered with a
moist towel while shaping and cutting the first.) Roll
out the dough into 18 x 13 x 1/4-inch rectangle. Cut
into desired shapes using 3 1/2 inch bone cutter or 2
1/2 inch cookie cutter. Reroll the scraps. Repeat
procedure with remaining dough. For an attractive
shine, lightly beat together the egg and the milk.

Brush the glaze on the cookies. Bake for 45 – 60
minutes or until brown firm. For even baking,
rotate the cookie sheets from top to bottom 3/4 of the
way thru the baking period. Use a small, angled metal
spatula to transfer the cookies to wire racks to cool
completely. Store in an airtight container at room
temp. -cracked wheat kelp are available at most
health food stores -Use 2 cups of bran cereal (not
flakes) in place of the cracked wheat, if desired. If
your dog is large, make larger cookies Allow the
cookie sheets to cool completely before using for the
next batch Distribute cookies evenly around sheet;

CRANBERRY PINEAPPLE CHUTNEY

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Relishes

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
12 oz Pkg fresh Cranberries
1/2 Pineapple (Fresh) -OR-
1 sm Can of canned Pineapple
1 1″ long piece of fresh
-Ginger Root
1 sm Hot Chili Pepper
1 md Lemon
2 Whole Cloves (opt)
2 Allspice Berries -OR-
1/8 ts Ground Allspice
1 Stick Cinnamon -OR-
1/2 ts Ground Cinnamon
1/4 c Raisins
1/2 c Dark Brown Sugar
1/2 c Raspberry Vinegar
1 pn Salt

1. Rinse and pick over Cranberries, discarding stems
or blemished berries. Peel, core and finely chop the
Pineapple. Peel and grate or mince the Ginger. Seed
and mince the Chili. Remove two strips of zest from
the lemon with a vegetable peeler and extract the
juice from the fruit. Tie the Lemon zest and spices
(if using whole spices) in a piece of cheesecloth, or
just add them to the pot.

2. Combine all ingredients in a saucepan. Because of
the Cranberry’s high acidity, they should not be
placed in an aluminum or cast iron pan. Bring to a
boil. Reduce heat and simmer the chutney for 8-10
minutes, or until the Cranberries begin to pop.
Correct the seasonings, adding more sugar, vinegar and
lemon juice as needed; the Chutney should be a little
sweet a little sour and a little spicy. Refrigerate
at least 2 hours, preferably overnight. Remove the
cheesecloth bundle. Submitted By RHOMMEL
