Lentil Loaf

2 c dry brown lentils, cooked in 6 c water with a bay leaf (about 45 min).
1 c dry bulgur wheat, cooked in 2 c water (about 15 min).
Preheat oven to 350.
In large bowl, mix cooked lentils, cooked bulgur, and all of the following:
–1 c soft bread crumbs
–2 egg whites or 1 egg substitute
–1/4-1/2 c catsup
–2 big onions, chopped
–6-8 cloves garlic, crushed
–lotsa thyme, oregano, tarragon. Some cumin, curry, pepper, garlic powder.
–1 regular-size (15 oz?) can tomato sauce
–1/4 c ff barbaque sauce
–next time I make it, I’m going to try adding some cooked carrots and
potatoes, and maybe some peas. Might add some nice color and textures.

Mix it all up and put it into a sprayed loaf pan, casserole dish, or
whatever. Bake for about 40 min. The oringinal recipe said to slice and
serve, but I find it comes out more of a scoop-and-serve consistency.

Elegant Apple Dumpling

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 0 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : New Text Import

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
dough:
1 cup all purpose flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
2 tbl butter
1 tbl shortening
1/4 cup apple juice or apple cider
filling:
4 tbl butter
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup crushed gingersnaps
1/4 cup ground pecans
1 tbl Grand Mariner
1 tsp cinnamon

Mix flour, cinnamon, salt, butter and shortening until a crumbly mixture forms.
Add in the juice slowly, until a smooth dough forms.
Melt butter, and mix the rest of the ingredients into it.

Putting it all together: Core 3/4 of an apple (preferably a Granny Smith)
making
sure that there is plenty of room for the filling. Roll out the dough, the
thinner the better. Wrap dough around the apple. Squeeze off the excess and
create leaves for the top of the apple with the extra. Bake at 350 degrees for
approximately 20 minutes until dough becomes a light to golden brown. It will
not get too dark so definitely keep checking on it.

The dough recipe should yield enough for two apples. To make a stem for the
apple use a small piece of cinnamon stick

Black Bean Soup

Recipe By : Valentin Schwaegerl of the Brasserie, Orlando, FL
Serving Size : 8 Preparation Time :3:00
Categories : Soups

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
2 cups black turtle soup beans
1 cup onion — coarsely chopped
1 cup celery with leaves — coarsely chopped
1 medium carrot — chopped
1 bay leaf
1 pinch thyme
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 1/2 quarts water
3 smoked ham hocks
1 cup chicken stock
1 dash salt — to taste
1 dash crushed peppercorns — to taste
1/4 cup Dry Sack Sherry

CHEF’S NOTE: In place of the smoked ham hocks, you may substitute 8 ounces
lean, diced salt pork or 1 pound cooked, diced bacon. In place of the
chicken stock, you may substitute an appropriate amount of chicken base or
prepared bouillon cubes.

STEP ONE: Wash beans in cold water and transfer to soup pot. Add all other
ingredients except salt, pepper, and sherry. Simmer at least three hours or
until a bean will crush easily.

CHEF’S NOTE: An optional method of preparing this soup that we do not use
includes this step: Remove the bay leaf and ham hocks, and puree beans in a
food mill or sieve.

STEP TWO:
Return to heat and add salt, pepper, and sherry. Adjust the consistency to
your preference.

* If too thin, add a little roux made of equal parts butter and flour. Stir
over heat until rich and creamy.

* If too thick, add a small amount of chicken stock.

To serve, sprinkle with grated cooked egg, or thin, sliced raw onion and
lace all over with Dry Sack Sherry. Top with a dollop of sour cream.
