Title: GAJAR HALVA #2
Categories: Candies, Indian
Yield: 6 Servings

6 md Carrots;scraped/coarse grate
1 qt Milk
1 c Light cream
1 c Jaggery (raw cane sugar)*
1/2 c Sugar
1 1/2 c Almonds, blanched;pulverized
1/4 c Ghee
1/2 ts Cardamom seeds; crushed
1/4 c Pistachios; toasted/unsalted
1/4 c Almonds; unsalted/slivered/
-blanched/toasted

* Substitute 1 cup dark-brown sugar combined with 1 tb dark molasses

In a deep heavy 5- to 6-quart saucepan, combine the carrots, milk and
cream. Stirring constantly, bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the
heat to moderate and, stirring occasionally, cook for 1 hour, or
until the mixture has reduced to about half its original volume and
is thick enough to coat a spoon heavily. Stir in the jaggery and the
sugar, and continue cooking for 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to the
lowest possible point, add the pulverized almonds and the ghee, and
stir for 10 minutes more, or until the halva mixture is thick enough
to draw away from the sides and bottom of the pan in a solid mass.
Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the cardamom.

With a metal spatula, spread the halva on a large heatproof platter,
mound it slightly in the center, and decorate the top with pistachios
and slivered almonds. Serve warm or at room temperature. In India,
gajar halva is also sometimes decorated with a special edible silver
leaf.

BRIAMI

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Casseroles Greek
Usenet

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1 Eggplant
2 lb Zucchini
4 md Potatoes
2 Green peppers
1 Red pepper
2 md Onions
1 c Olive oil
4 md Tomatoes
2 Garlic cloves
1 t Sugar
Salt and pepper,
-to taste

Prepare the vegetables: Cut the eggplant, zucchini and potatoes in bite
sized chunks (do not peel the zucchini or the eggplant). Remove the stems
and seeds from the peppers and slice them into strips. Peel and slice the
onions. Dice the tomatoes.

Saute the vegetables except the tomatoes in the olive oil in small batches.
Saute each batch for 2 or 3 minutes, then remove from the pan, trying to
drain some of the oil so that enough oil is left for the next batch. When
you’re done, most (if not all) of the oil should be gone from the pan.
Place the sauteed vegetables in a baking dish and toss them briefly so that
you won’t get only one kind of vegetable in one place.

Add the tomatoes into the pan and saute for a couple of minutes. Crush the
garlic and add to the tomatoes. Add the sugar, salt and pepper to taste
and simmer for another minute. Pour the tomato sauce on top of the
vegetables and bake at 350 degrees F. or until the vegetables are tender.

Serve with plenty of fresh bread and, if you like, some feta cheese on the
side.

NOTES:

* Greek vegetable casserole — This is a very colourful vegetable dish
from Greece. I got the recipe out of a Greek cookbook.

: Difficulty: easy.
: Time: 30-45 minutes preparation, 1 hour baking.
: Precision: No need to measure.
