break down.)”

2 cups white-wine vinegar
In a very clean 1-qt glass jar combine the chilies and the
vinegar and let the mixture steep, covered with the lid, in a
cool dark place for at lease 2 days and up to 2 weeks, depending
on the strength desired. Strain the vinegar through a fine sieve
into a glass pitcher, reserving 2 chilies for garnish and
discarding the rest, and pour it into 2 very clean 1/2 pint glass

RISOTTO WITH MUSHROOMS AND ASPARAGUS

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Wasnone

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1 lb Mushrooms — assorment
1 lb Asparagus
1 sm Onion — chopped very fine
1 lb Arborio rice
Olive oil and butter
1 qt Chicken stock
1 qt Red wine — see options
1/2 c Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper

Assorted mushrooms: crimini, shitake, oyster; or
combination of standard white, dried morel or porcini
soaked in warm water one hour. OPTIONS: Need 2 quarts
of liquid to cook the risotto. Half should be chicken
stock but the rest can be either wine, mushroom
liquid, or vegetable stock; or some combination. For a
red wine, try Barbera D’Alba.

Saute mushrooms in a little olive oil and butter and
set aside. Blanch asparagus by a quick dip in boiling
water until they turn bright green. Then plunge them
in a bowl of ice water (not tap water). Chop off the
tips and three or four inches os stalk. Save the rest
for soup. With a low flame under the heaviest saucepan
or saute pan you have: saute onion in a butter/oil
combo until clear. Add rice and coat the grains with
the oil. After a couple of minutes start adding liquid
a little at a time, just enough to cover the rice.
Stir often with a wooden spoon. Alternate chicken
stock and the wine or other liquid. Continue adding
the liquids a little at a time. The rice is done when
it is still firm at the very middle of the grain but
not crunchy to taste. This takes about 25 minutes.
When it reaches this stage, add the mushrooms, a
tablespoon of butter, the cheese, the salt and pepper,
and thee sections of asparagus, saving the tips to
decorate the tope of the dish.

ENGLISH MUFFINS FROM SCRATCH

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Breads Muffins

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1 lb Strong white flour
1/2 oz Fresh yeast or 1/2 t. dried
-yeast
1 tb Sugar
1/8 lb Butter, melted
1 tb Salt
8 oz Warm milk and water

(The 8 oz. milk and water refers to 8 fluid ounces, or
250 ml.) Sift the flour and the salt into a bowl and
leave it in a warm place. Dissolve the yeast and sugar
in 1/4 UK pint (about 1/2 cup–rsc) of the warm milk
and water. Leave to froth, then mix in the fat. Stir
all the liquid into the warm flour and beat well until
smooth and elastic. Cover and prove in a warm place
for 50 minutes or until doubled in bulk. Turn onto a
well-floured board and knead, working in a little more
flour if necessary to make the dough easier to shape.
Round up the dough, roll into a thick sausage-shape,
and divide into 8 to 10 portions about 1 1/2 to 1-3/4
inches thick. Shape each one into a round with
straight sides. Put onto a greased baking sheet, cover
and put in a warm place to prove for 30-40 minutes or
until spongy to the touch. Leave plenty of room for
expansion, and be careful not to over-prove, as the
muffins will lose their shape. Warm and grease
bakestone (or other griddle) lightly. Lift the muffins
carefully onto the bakestone and cook over very
moderate heat for 8-10 minutes, until pale gold
underneath. Turn and cook the other side. Wrap in a
cloth and keep warm if cooking in batches. To serve,
insert a knife in the side; then with fingers pull the
top and bottom apart and insert thin slivers of
butter. (or tear in half with forks and toast.) If
reheating from cold, toast the top and bottom, then
pull apart and butter. Source: Diane Duane, FidoNet
