Recipe by: Houston Chronicle, May, 1997

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 13-by-9-by-2-inch baking
pan. Sift flour with baking powder. In large bowl with clean beaters, beat
egg whites until frothy. Add sugar gradually, beating to form stiff peaks.
Add yolks, 1 at a time. Slowly add flour and milk. Pour batter into
prepared pan and bake until edges are golden brown, about 40 to 45 minutes,

Remove from oven and let cool on a rack. Topping: Combine milks and sour
cream (do not beat). Pour Topping over cake and let sit until all the
mixture is absorbed, 20 to 30 minutes.

Prepare Meringue and refrigerate: Combine sugar and water in a saucepan.
Let sit until sugar is dissolved. In clean electric mixer bowl with clean
beaters, beat egg whites. Slowly pour sugar syrup over egg whites, beating
constantly until meringue holds stiff peaks. Store in refrigerator. This
can be served immediately but is best made 24 hours ahead and chilled. The
meringue will keep, covered, 2 days in the refrigerator.

Before serving, cut cake into squares and spread Meringue over each.
Garnish as desired with fresh berries and mint leaves.

“This dessert is a favorite on the menus at many Houston Mexican and South
American restaurants. Arnaldo Richards of Pico’s reworked a previously
published recipe to fit a 13-by-9-by-2-inch pan, which is more common to
home cooking. ” Houston Chronicle, May, 1997

Title: Curried Mussels with Mushrooms
Categories: Australian, Seafood, Ceideburg 2
Yield: 4 servings

3 lg Mussels
1 c Water
1/2 ts Baby dried red chillies
15 Ghee
1 tb Grated fresh ginger
2 Cloves garlic, crushed
1 tb Chopped fresh lemon grass
2 Green shallots, chopped
-[scallions S.C.}
340 cn Coconut milk
1 tb Fish sauce
1 tb Brown sugar
150 Baby mushrooms, sliced
2 ts Plain flour
1 tb Water, extra
1 tb Chopped fresh basil

The photo of this recipe looks wonderful too. Whole shelled mussels
in a white “curry” sauce along with slices of button mushrooms and
other goodies. The curry isn’t what we would normally think of as a
curry++ there isn’t any curry powder called for (though it would
probably be good).

1: Scrub mussels under cold running water; remove beards. Combine
mussels and water in large saucepan, cover, bring to boil, reduce
heat, simmer for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Drain mussels,
remove and discard shells; reserve mussels.

2: Place chillies in small bowl, cover with boiling water, let stand
for 10 minutes; drain and chop chillies. Heat ghee in medium frying
pan, add chillies, ginger, garlic, lemon grass and shallots, stir
over medium heat for about 2 minutes or until shallots are soft.

3: Stir in coconut milk, sauce and sugar, bring to boil, reduce heat,
simmer, uncovered, for 1 minute. Stir in mushrooms, cook over medium
heat for 1 minute. Blend flour with extra water, stir into mushroom
mixture, stir over high heat until sauce boils and thickens.

4: Stir in mussels and basil, stir over medium heat until heated
through.

Serves 4.

NOTE: Recipe is best made just before serving. This recipe is not
suitable to freeze or microwave.

1/2 lb Trout fillets; smoked, skin

To make phyllo tartlet shells: Preheat oven to 325

Lay a sheet of phyllo on a work surface and with a

mixture. Lay a second sheet smoothly on top, taking
care to line up the edges before setting the sheet
down. (Once you set down the sheet, it cannot be
moved.) Brush with the egg-white mixture and repeat
with 1 more sheet. Lay a fourth sheet on top but do
not brush it.
With a knife, cut the dough into 4 strips
lenghtwise and 5 strips crosswise, making 24 squares.
Press squares into muffin cups and bake for 8 to 12
minutes, or until golden brown and crisp. Transfer the
tartlets to a rack and let cool. Repeat the procedure
with the remaining 4 sheets of phyllo and egg-white
mixture. (The baked tartlet shells may be stored in a
closed container at room temperature for 1 week or in
the freezer for up to 2 months.)

To make smoked trout filling: In a food
processor, combine cream cheese and smoked trout;
process until fairly smooth. Add scallions and

Shortly before serving, spoon or pipe about 1 heaping
tsp. of filling into each tartlet shell and garnish
