Angu (Cornmeal Mush)

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Cereal Brazil

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
INGREDIENTS:
1 tbsp Oil
2 Clove garlic — minced (2 tsp)
1 sm Onion — finely chopped (abou
cup)
2 c Cold water (to 3 cups)
Salt fresh ground black — pepper
1/2 c Fine (stone ground) cornmeal

Servings: 6 to 8 Notes: Angu (pronounced “aing goo”) is a sort of polenta,
one of the many cooked starch pastes one finds in Brazil. For best
results, use a fine, stone ground cornmeal.

DIRECTIONS: Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Cook the garlic and onion
over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes or until soft but not brown. Add 2
cups water and bring to a rapid boil.

Add the cornmeal in a thin stream through your fingers, stirring
vigorously to prevent lumps. The mixture should be the consistency of
choux pastry or soft ice cream. If too thick, make a hole in the angu with
a wooden spoon and stir in a little cold water. Reduce the heat to low and
gently simmer for 3 to 4 minutes. Correct the seasoning and serve at once.

Note: For a prettier presentation, the angu can be spooned into a thickly
buttered tube pan and unmolded onto a platter. (Picture in magazine shows
that a fluted tube pan was used, and the center of the unmolded angu was
filled with flat leaf parsley- or cilantro?

CHESTNUT RICE SAVOURY

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Vegetarian Vegan

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1 sm Onion
1 tb Vegetable oil
1 sm Tomato
1 c Mushrooms
1/2 c Brown rice, cooked
2 oz Dried chestnuts
2 tb Water
1 t Yeast extract
1 t Tomato paste

Cover the chestnuts with boiling water and leave them to soak for several
hours, then cook them until tender. (If the chestnuts are soaked in warm
water in a wide-rimmed thermos flask, or in a warm cupboard, them may be
tender enough not to require more cooking.)

Chop the onion and saute it in the oil in a saucepan for about 3 minutes.

Skin and chop the tomato. Slice the mushrooms. Add them to the pan and
cook for a further 3 minutes or so.

Add the rice and chestnuts to the pan and stir well. Then add the water,
yeast extract and tomato paste. Mix together very thoroughly as it heats
up so that the yeast extract is amalgamated evenly into the mixture.
Continue cooking over a gentle heat until all the ingredients are well
heated.
