The following recipe is based on Lu’s Honey Molasses Cake which in turn
was based on Betty Johnson’s Honey Bread (so it neither contains honey
nor is a bread and is vegan!).

M M Cake (vegan)

3 1/2 c. flour
1 t. baking soda
1/2 t. salt
2 t. cinnamon
1/2 c. Sucanat (should be available in hfs or coop)
1 c. non-fat soy-milk (I used Health Valley Fat-Free Soy Moo)
3/4 c. dark molasses (I used Grandma’s Molasses “robust flavor”
with the green label)
3/4 c. pure maple syrup

Mix flour, soda, salt and cinnamon together into large bowl. Mix in
Sucanat. Add soy-milk, molasses, and maple syprup to dry ingredients; ;
mix till well blended. Bake in a large loaf pan at
275 F for 1 hour and 40 minutes. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and foil
and let age 5 days (in refrigerator) before

Title: Mock Crab Roe
Categories: Chinese, Seafood, Ceideburg 2
Yield: 1 batch

1/4 lb Fresh filet of sole, plaice
-(flounder) or cod
6 Egg yolks
2 Level tablespoons chopped
-spring onions (scallions),
-white parts only
1 ts Sesame oil
1/4 Level teaspoon MSG
-[optional, as usual. S.C.]
1/4 Level teaspoon salt
1/8 Level teaspoon white pepper
Fat for deep-frying
5 tb Soy sauce
3 tb Vinegar

“When the crab season ended, people were loath to give up the idea of
being without crab. The following recipe is an excellent dish, but a
poor substitute for the heady concentrate of roe found in the furry-
clawed crabs of the Yangtse lakes.”

Steam the fish for 10 minutes and flake it gently. Mix the egg yolks
together with the spring onions, sesame oil, MSG, salt and white
pepper. Add the fish and mix it in. Fry tablespoons of the mixture
in fairly deep fat, until the sides are almost brown or pinkish gold.
The fat will foam, but this cannot be helped. The final texture must
be firm. Serve hot with a separate dish of soy sauce mixed with
vinegar. Excellent with warmed wine.

Anderson

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
***** NONE *****

2 1/2 c Dried garbanzos

– washed and sorted

2 qt Cold water

4 md Garlic cloves

– peeled and minced

4 lg Yellow onions; peeled

– and coarsely chopped

3 tb Peanut, corn or veg. oil

3 md Maine or Eastern potatoes

– peeled coarsely chopped

1/2 ts Crumbled leaf thyme

1/2 ts Ground coriander seeds

1 lg Bay leaf; (do not crumble)

1 qt Beef or chicken broth

-(preferably homemade)

1/2 lb Pepperoni or chorizo

– or if available,

– Portuguese chourico or

– linguica,

– sliced about 1/4-in thick

1 c Finely chopped fresh spinach

– (leaves only)

1 1/2 ts Salt

1/4 ts Freshly ground black pepper

2 tb Olive oil

SOAK THE GARBANZOS overnight in 6 cups of the water in a large heavy

kettle. Next day, add the remaining 2 cups water, bring to a gentle boil,

cover, and cook 4-to-5 hours or until the garbanzos are very tender.

Meanwhile, stir-fry the garlic and onions in the peanut oil in a second

large, heavy kettle over moderate heat for 12-to-15 minutes until lightly

browned. Add the potatoes and stir-fry 2-to-3 minutes; add the thyme,

coriander, and bay leaf, turn the heat down low, and allow to mellow about

10 minutes. Pour in the broth, bring all to a gentle simmer, cover and cook

slowly. As soon as you’ve set the 2 kettles to simmer, stir-fry the

pepperoni in a large heavy skillet 3-to-5 minutes–just until lightly

browned and most of the drippings have cooked out. Drain the pepperoni

well, reserving 1 tablespoon of the drippings. Set aside. Return 1

tablespoon drippings to the skillet, add the spinach and stir-fry 2-to-3

minutes over moderate heat just until glazed and intensely green; reserve.

When the garbanzos are tender, puree 1/2 of them by buzzing 60 seconds in a

food processor, adding only enough kettle liquid to puree them easily.

Return the pureed garbanzos to the kettle in which they cooked. Now puree

the potato mixture in 2 batches, buzzing each 30-to-40 seconds in a food

processor. Blend the potato mixture into the garbanzo mixture, add the

reserved pepperoni and spinach, cover, and simmer 30-to-40 minutes–just

long enough to mellow the flavors. Season to taste with salt and pepper,

remove the bay leaf, then smooth in the olive oil.

Makes 6 to 8 Servings

Title: JULIA’S CAESAR
Categories: Salads
Yield: 4 to 6 servi

1 ea Recipe

Here’s a recipe, from Wine Spectator, for Caesar salad. They say in
the article that it was invented by restaurateur Caesar Cardini, an
Italian immigrant, in 1924 at Caesar’s Palace, Tijuana. The original
had no anchovies, just the hint of anchovies from the Worcestershire
Sauce. The recipe is by Julia Child, in consultation with Caesar’s
daughter Rosa. I haven’t tried it, it just seems like something the
echo would like to read about.

2 lg large crisp heads Romaine
-lettuce
2 lg cloves garlic 1/2 t salt
9 T olive oil
2 c unseasoned croutons
2 eggs 1/4 c fresh grated parmesan
-juice of 1 lemon
-fresh ground black pepper
-Worcestershire sauce

For each person select 6 to 8 whole leaves of Romaine, 3 to 7″ long.
Wash, drain, wrap in paper towels, and refrigerate until serving. Put
garlic through a press and mix with 1/4 tsp salt and 3 Tbs oil.
Strain into medium fry pan. Heat to warm and add croutons, toss
until well coated and remove to a bowl.

Coddle eggs by boiling one minute. (Burt: A bare minimum tip of the
hat to the recent scare about raw eggs)

To assemble salad, have all ingredients in small bowls surrounding a
large salad bowl. Put romaine into large bowl and pour 4 Tbs olive
oil over it. Toss. Add 1/4 tsp salt, 8 grinds of pepper, and 2 more
Tbs oil, and toss again. Add lemon juice, 6 drops of Worcestershire
sauce and the eggs, and toss. Add cheese and toss. Add croutons and
toss twice more.

To serve, arrange leaves on plates, stems out, w/sprinkling of
croutons on side. Eat with fingers or forks and knives. (Burt: The
original was eaten with the fingers.)

CROUTONS: Cut baguette of french bread into 3/4″ cubes. Toss in
1/4 cup olive oil, and put on baking sheet. Bake at 350 f. for 20 to
25 minutes, tossing a few times to brown evenly. Just before done
(?) turn the oven off and let sit 15 minutes before removing. Makes
about 4 1/2 cups.
