Nancy O’Brion NOTE:
Food Exchange per serving: 1 VEGETABLE EXCHANGE + 1 FAT EXCHANGE
(Nancy O’S note: 1/2 Cup of butter I sure would use margarine and
would, for sure, cut back on it even though I switched to margarine
MAKE IT WORK. I find it is really important to fix them veggies that
are taste for the diet…..)

NANCY C’S NOTE: Yes, the recipe DOES call for 1/2 cup butter. This
seems excessive to me so I’ll probably just use a tablespoon or two.
(Sorry Nancy C. not me!!! It will be 1 to 2 tablespoon margarine for
me)

2 1/4 pounds cream cheese — room temperature
3 ounces semisweet chocolate — melted
1/4 cup sugar — sifted
5 eggs
2/3 cup broken mixed nuts — unsalted
1/3 cup hazelnut liqueur
1 tablespoon vanilla
1/2 cup raisins
1/3 cup whole mixed nuts
1/4 cup dark rum

CRUST:
Melt butter. Mix crumbs and sugar, add butter to crumb
mixture and mix

glass). Bake
for 10 minutes at 350. Let rest for 30 minutes.

FILLING:
Mix raisins and dark rum in a pot. Bring to a boil.
Remove from heat
and allow to rest and absorb the rum. Place cream cheese in
mixing bowl,

to cook an additional 30 minutes, depending on your oven.
When done,
remove foil and Saran Wrap, and run a hot-moist knife around
the edges.
Let rest for 4 hours at room temperature on a cooling rack.
Refrigerate
overnight uncovered..Serve with whipped cream and a
strawberry if you
wish.

Title: HUNKAR BEGENDI (ROASTED EGGPLANT PUREE)
Categories: Middle east, Turkish, Vegetable, Eggplant, Time/life
Yield: 3 cups

4 sm Eggplant; (about 1/2 lb. or
;2 md. (about 1 lb. ea.)
1 tb Butter
1 tb Flour
1/3 c Milk
1/4 c Kasher/kasseri; freshly
;grated or use Romano cheese
1/2 ts Salt
Black pepper; freshly grated

First, roast the eggplants in the following fashion:
Prick each one in 3 or 4 places with the tines of a
long handled fork. Then impale them, one at a time,
on the tines of the fork and turn them over a gas
flame until the skin chars and begins to crack. (If
you have an electric stove, pierce the eggplants,
place them on a large baking sheet and broil them 4
inches from the heat sseri; freshly
: ;grated or use Romano cheese
1/2 ts Salt
: Black pepper; freshly grated

First, roasm, cutting away any
badly charred spots on the surface. Cut the eggplants
in half lengthwise and chop them finely. Then mash
the pulp to a smooth puree with the back of a spoon or
with a mortar and pestle.
In a heavy 3 to 4 quart saucepan, heat the
tablespoon of butter over moderate heat. When the
foam begins to subside, stir in the flour and when it
is completely absorbed pour in the milk all at once.
Stirring vigorously with a whisk, cook over high heat
until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens
heavily. Beat in the pureed eggplant, reduce the heat
to low, and, stirring occasionally, simmer for 5
minutes. Off the heat add the cheese, salt and a few
grindings of pepper. Beat vigorously until the mixture
is thick enough to hold its shape almost solidly in
the spoon.
Taste for seasoning and serve at once. Hunkar
begendi traditionally accompanies roast or braised
veal or lamb.
