Recipe By :
Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Beans Salad Dressings
Salads Vegetables

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
2 Cups Chickpeas — cooked
1/2 Pound Green Beans
—–Dressing For Chickpeas—–
1/3 Cup Oil
1/4 Cup Wine Vinegar
1/4 Teaspoon Salt
1 Teaspoon Garam Masala
2 Cloves Garlic — crushed
1/8 Teaspoon Cayenne
—–Dressing For Beans—–
1/4 Cup Oil
2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
1/2 Teaspoon Salt
1/2 Teaspoon Garam Masala
2 Tablespoons Onion — minced
1 Teaspoon Fresh Ginger Root — grated

Heat chickpeas in their liquid and drain. Place in a bowl. Combine all
ingredients for chickpea dressing and pour over chickpeas while they
are still warm. Mix well. Cool, cover and set aside. Combine all
ingredients for green bean dressing. Wash and trim beans, and cut
into 3/4-inch long pieces. Steam or boil beans until just tender. Drain
thoroughly. Shake them in a colander until they look very dry. Put
beans in a separate bowl from chickpeas and pour bean dressing over
them. Let sit for 5 minutes. Combine the two beans and mix well. It’s
best to let the chickpeas sit in their dressing for several hours
before mixing them with the green beans so the chickpeas can absorb
the flavors. Serve cold or at room temperature.

Title: PEACH CRUMBLE PIE
Categories: Pies, Fruits, Malgieri
Yield: 10 servings

1 No-Roll Pie Shell
-(See RECIPE)

MMMMM———————–CRUMB TOPPING—————————-
1/2 c Butter
1/2 c Light brown sugar
1 1/4 c All-purpose flour

MMMMM———————–PEACH FILLING—————————-
2 1/2 lb Ripe freestone peaches
1/4 c Sugar
1 tb Flour
1/4 ts Nutmeg
1 ts Finely grated lemon zest

PREPARE AND REFRIGERATE pie shell. For the crumb topping: Melt butter
and stir in brown sugar evenly. Stir in flour, then allow to rest 5
minutes. Break up into large crumbs using fingertips. Preheat oven to
350F. Set a rack in the lowest level of the oven. Cut a cross in the
blossom end of each peach and plunge them a couple at a time into a
pan of boiling water for about 30 seconds. Remove to a bowl of cold
water and slip off skins. If peaches are ripe, skins will slip off
easily. If not, touch up with a paring knife. Halve and pit peaches,
then cut each half in 5 or 6 wedges. Place peaches in a bowl and
sprinkle with remaining filling ingredients, toss well to coat and
pour into pie shell. Sprinkle crumbs evenly over filling and bake
about 30-to-40 minutes, until filling is bubbling and crumbs appear
well colored. Cool on a rack and serve lukewarm or at room
temperature.

3 leek tops
1/2 lb. old mushrooms, rinsed and quartered
3-4 carrots, rinsed and cut in 2″ segments
1 baked potato, cut in big chunks
5-6 stalks celery, in 2″ segments
3 small onions, peeled quartered
3 whole cloves garlic, peeled
1 bay leaf

I put all of this in a large stock pot ran in enough water to cover it
my 2 inches, brought it to a boil and let it simmer for 2+ hours, then I
strained it and put it in a smaller pot and let it boil for about 30-40
minutes until it was reduced to 60% of original volume. This is the
darkest, best smelling stock I have ever made. I can’t wait to try it
out.
