1 t Salt
2/3 c Apple Juice

lemon juice until needed. Fry the curry powder in the
butter until dark brown. Stir in about a quarter of
the stock and cook until the mixture is smooth. Add
the rest of the stock and the salt. Mince the apples
and drop immediately into the stock in order that they
do not discolor in the air. Cover and allow to
simmer, gently, for 20 minutes or until the apples are
soft. Add the apple juice and blend well. Chill the
soup for several hours, or until needed. Add the
chilled cream just before serving. Sprinkle a little

Subject: Chicken Style Seasoning — the good one

From _Country Kitchen Collection_

CHICKEN STYLE SEASONING

1 1/3 cup nutritional yeast flakes
3 T onion powder
2 1/2 t garlic powder
1 T salt
1 tsp celery seed
2 1/2 T Italian seasoning
2 T parsley, dried

Blend smooth all ingredients except parsley. Stir in parsley. Store
in airtight container.

Notes:

Use this seasoning to make a quick chicken-like stock out of water
when you have no veggie stock on hand. Excellent for flavoring rice
and as a soup base.

Make a very simple, easy, and good-tasting gravy by mixing water,
seasoning, and miso (I like the dark brown rice miso). Typical
proportions: 1.5 cups water, 1 T seasoning, 2 t miso.
Increase/decrease seasonings according your your taste. Right before
serving gravy, mix some starch (I frequently use potato starch) in a
bit of water till well-blended and add to gravy to thicken (do this
over medium heat). Add starch until you reach desired thickness.
Quick, easy, and surprisingly tastey.

SOUR CREAM BRAN MUFFINS

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 12 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Muffins

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1/2 c Unsalted butter, softened
1/4 c Light brown sugar, packed
1 lg Egg, beaten lightly
1 c Sour cream
1/4 c Dark molasses
1/2 c Raisins
1 c Flour
1 t Baking soda
1/4 ts Salt
1 c Miller’s bran

a Gourmet Magazine favorite from 1981

This is the Rolls-Royce of bran muffin recipes.

In a large bowl with an electric mixer cream together
the butter and the brown sugar until the mixture is
light and fluffy, beat in the egg, the sour cream, and
the molasses, and stir in the raisins. In a bowl whisk
together the flour, the baking soda, the salt, and the
bran, add the mixture to the sour cream mixture, and
stir the batter until it is just combined. (The batter
will be lumpy.) Spoon the batter into 12 well-buttered
1/3-cup muffin tins and bake the muffins in the middle
of a preheated 400 degree oven for 15 to 20 minutes,
or until they are golden brown and springy to the
touch. Turn the muffins out onto a rack and let them
cool.

(Miller’s bran is available at natural foods stores,
specialty foods shops, and some supermarkets)

Makes 12 muffins.

Title: Crockpot Beef Stew
Categories: Soups/stews, Beef
Yield: 4 servings

2 1/2 lb Beef, extra lean -canned,stewed tomatoes,
7 Carrots, 2″ chunks -undrained (or plain)
2 1/2 Potatoes, cut in eighths 2 tb Flour (or 3)
2 1/2 Onions, sweet, cut in 1 ts Salt
-1/4″ slices, slices 1/4 ts Pepper
-cut in half and separated 1/4 ts Thyme
-into rings. 1/4 ts Basil
1 Tomatoes, Italian-style 2 tb Worcestershire sauce (or 3)

Layer the veggies and meat (in that order), mix flour and seasonings and
sprinkle over each meat layer. Sprinkle with Worcestershire sauce, pour
stewed tomatoes over all, cover and cook on Low 10-12 hours.

Variable amounts are for 3-1/2 or 5 quart pots. I make mine up the night
before and refrigerate. My hubby (an early riser) puts it on about 7 AM
and it cooks all day. There is lots of gravy, which may be thickened with
cornstarch if de- sired. Sometimes instead of potatoes, I cook large elbow
macaroni separately (Muellers Ready-cut) and put the >>>>>> leftover
macaroni in the bowl with leftover stew to soak up the good gravy. I also
add a drained can of cut green beans to the veggies (during the last 4
hours) in that case.

Title: Steamed Butterfish in Bean Threads
Categories: Chinese, Seafood, Ceideburg 2
Yield: 2 servings

8 To 10 dried shiitake
-mushrooms
1 1/2 oz To 2 oz bundle bean threads
1 lb Butterfish (about 6),
-cleaned
1/3 c Chicken stock
2 Green onions, shredded
1 1/2 tb Shredded ginger
1 1/2 tb Soy sauce
1 ts Asian sesame oil

There are a couple of kinds of butterfish. One is the large
“sablefish”. The other is the smaller silvery diamond shaped fish
familiar to those who hang out around Asian markets. This calls for
the latter type.

In separate bowls, soak the mushrooms in warm water and the bean
threads in hot water until soft, 20 to 30 minutes. Drain the
mushrooms, discard the stems, and toss the caps with a teaspoon of
soy sauce. Drain the bean threads and place in a deep heat-proof
plate or glass pie pan that will fit inside a wok or other steaming
pot.

Arrange the fish on top, tucking the mushroom caps in around them.
Pour in the chicken stock, scatter the green onion and ginger on top
of the fish, and sprinkle with the remaining soy sauce.

Bring the water in the steamer to a rolling boil and place the plate
on a rack an inch above the water. Cover and steam for 20 minutes.
Sprinkle with the sesame oil and serve from the steaming dish. Serves
2 to 3 as a main dish, 4 with other dishes.
