    Categories : Soups

    Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
    ——– ———— ——————————–
    2 lg Leeks white part only
    4 tb Unsalted butter
    2 1/2 tb All purpose flour
    6 c Homemade chicken stock
    3 md Carrots peeled and cubed
    3 md Turnips peeled and cubed
    2 md Parsnips peeled and cubed
    2 md Red potatoes peeled and

    Stemmed and rinsed
    Salt and white pepper to
    Taste
    1/2 c Heavy cream
    2 tb Fine minced chives
    And parsley for garnish

    Cut the leeks in half lengthwise and then crosswise
    into thin slices. Place in a colander and run under
    warm water to remove all traces of sand. Drain and set
    aside. In a large casserole, melt the butter over low
    heat. Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly for
    one minute without browning. Add the chicken stock and
    whisk until well blended. Add the reserved leeks,
    carrots, turnips, parsnips and potatoes. Bring to a
    boil, reduce heat and simmer until the vegetables are
    almost tender. Add the lettuce and spinach leaves to
    the soup, and season with salt and pepper. The lettuce
    should just wilt, but still remain crisp. Do not
    overcook. Before serving, add the heavy cream and heat
    the soup through without letting it come to a boil.
    Transfer the soup to a large tureen, sprinkle with
    chives and parsley and serve hot with thin slices of
    black bread.

    Filo Mushroom Pies

    FILO MUSHROOM PIES

    Recipe By :
    Serving Size : 42 Preparation Time :0:00
    Categories : Appetizers

    Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
    ——– ———— ——————————–
    1 pk Filo pastry sheets
    3/4 lb Flat mushrooms (w/o stalks)
    1/2 lb Onions
    7 oz Feta cheese
    2 ts Whole cumin
    2 ts Coriander seeds
    – toasted lightly crushed
    Butter or oil
    2 sm Eggs

    Chop the onion finely and soften it in a little butter
    or oil, then fry hard until frazzled. Remove and
    reserve. Dice the mushrooms and fry them in the fat
    remaining in the pan; stir and turn them as necessary
    to drive off most of their moisture and to concentrate
    flavour. Mix the two vegetables together and season
    with plenty of salt and pepper. Stir in the cumin,
    coriander and grated cheese. When cool bind with the
    beaten eggs.

    Unwrap the pastry one sheet at a time. Keep the rest
    covered with a damp cloth to prevent drying out. Cut
    each sheet into strips about 3 x 10 inches long and
    brush on one side only with melted butter. Put one
    rounded metal teaspoonful of the mixture near the
    short edge of the buttery side of the first pastry
    strip – about 1 inch from the bottom and slightly to
    the left-hand side. Fold the bottom right-hand corner
    of the pastry diagonally over the filling to make a
    triangle. Continue folding the pastry at right angles
    up the whole lenghth of the strip so you end up with a
    neat little triangular parcel. Make more little pies
    in the same way until all the filling is used up.

    To cook, simply brush the pies all over with melted
    butter or oil, arrange them side by side on baking
    trays and bake at 350-375 F (180-190 C) gas mark 4/5
    for about 20 minutes, until the pastry is golden and
    crisp. It is best to turn the pies over after the
    first 10 minutes and brush with more butter or oil.
    For even crisper results the pies can be deep-fried.

    Recipe By :

    Categories : Seafood

    Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
    ——– ———— ——————————–
    1 1/2 kg Mussels
    4 ea Shallots chopped finely
    1 ea Garlic clove chopped
    2 tb Olive oil
    3 ts Butter
    2/3 c Dry white wine
    1/3 c Water
    3 ts Finely chopped parsley
    2 ea Fresh thyme sprigs or
    -pinch of dried thyme
    2 ea Bay leaves
    1/2 ts Ground black pepper
    125 ml Fresh cream
    1 x Extra chopped parsley
    1 x Lemon quarters

    Wash the mussels under running water, and remove all
    traces of mud, seaweed and barnacles. Remove
    beards (the rough fury part around the mussel). If
    mussel shells are cracked or broken, discard them. If
    any mussels are slightly open, tap sharply, and if
    they don’t close, discard.

    Gently fry the garlic and shallots in olive oil and
    butter until transparent but not coloured. Add wine,
    water, parsley, thyme, bay leaf, pepper and mussels.
    Pour cream over the top. Cover pan , bring to boil and
    steam over a high heat for about 4 minutes, shaking
    pan constantly. The shells will open as the mussels
    cook.

    Serve as soon as the shells open. Serve in deep bowls
    like mixing bowls, garnished with chopped parsley and
    lemmon quarters.

    Don’t forget a large spoon to scoop up the juice.
