Title: Kadaifi
Categories: Desserts, Greek, Vegan
Yield: 16 servings

1 lb Commercial raw kadaifi dough
1/2 c Margarine, mixed with some
— sweetener, melted
1 1/2 c Finely chopped almonds *
3 1/2 c Granulated sugar
Ground cinnamon
1/2 c Orange juice (optional)
2 c Water
1/2 c Liquid sweetener
2 tb Lemon juice

*Note: Use blanched almonds.

Open the raw kadaifi dough to the air for 10 to 15 minutes. Spread
half the pastry evenly over the bottom of a 9 x 12 x 3-inch baking
pan and brush with half the margarine mixture. Combine the almonds,
1/2 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon cinnamon, and orange juice in a small
bowl. (The orange juice will make the mixture like a paste that can
be spread with a knife.) Spread the almond mixture over the kadaifi
and cover with the remaining dough. Brush with the remaining butter
and bake in a moderate oven (350F) for 40 minutes or slightly longer,
until golden on top.

Meanwhile, boil the remaining 3 cups sugar with water for 5 minutes.
Stir in the sweetener and lemon juice, bring to a boil and keep hot.
When done, remove the pastry to a rack to cool in the pan, then spoon
the hot syrup over the pastry. Cover with a dry towel and allow to
cool thoroughly. When cool, cut into square or diamond shapes of any
desired size. Dust with additional ground cinnamon just before
serving on dessert plates.

COLD CHICKEN, CELERY AND WALNUT SOUP

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Soups

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
2 Chicken legs
2 Onions, peeled
1 Carrot, peeled
6 Black peppercorns
1 1/2 l Water ( 2 1/2 pints)
2 Heads celery, washed
3 tb Olive oil
5 Cloves garlic, peeled
200 g Shelled walnuts (7 oz)
2 tb Yoghurt
Sea salt
Black pepper, freshly ground

Remove ALL skin and fat from the chicken legs, place
them in a saucepan with one of the onions, the carrot,
the peppercorns and a large pinch of sea salt, cover
with the water, bring to the boil and simmer for 40-45
minutes.

Halfway through this time, chop up the remaining onion
and the celery and put them to soften in the olive oil
in a heavy, covered pan. When they are soft and the
chicken is cooked through, strain nearly all the stock
from round the chicken over the onion and celery and
continue simmering for another 15-20 minutes.

Strip the chicken meat from the bones and cover it
with one spoonful or so of stock to keep it moist.
Discard the bones and the carrot and the whole onion
from the stock.

In a large mortar crush the garlic with a little sea
salt. Pound the walnuts into this until they are quite
fine (*). Then pound in the chicken meat, which should
be quite soft. Bind this mixture with the yoghurt,
season it with pepper, liquidize the celery soup and
stir the chicken and nut mixture in.

Chill before eating (**).

(*) You can crush the walnuts in an electric blender
first; but do not add the garlic, as the blender would
have a brutalizing effect on its taste.

(**) This soup is best eaten cold, but is also good
warm !

Cream butter and sugars until fluffy with electric mixer. Beat in egg,
vanilla and salt.

By hand, stir in flour, a 1/4 cup at a time. Stir in oats. (Add nuts
and/or
raisins now.)

Crop by rounded teaspoons about 2 inches apart. They will spread. But if
you want them thinner still, flatten each one with a glass bottom that’s
been coated in granulated sugar.

Bake at 350.
About 12 minutes (not too dry!) but browned.
Cool on wire rack.
Yield: 3-4 dozen

If raisins are dry, they will draw moisture from batter as they bake. So
use real fresh or plumb them with a little boiling water; drain.

Title: FUDGY BROWNIES
Categories: Digest, Nov.
Yield: 1 servings

1/2 c Unsweetened cocoa powder
3/4 c Unbleached flour
1 1/2 c Sugar
2 Egg whites (egg replacer for
2 eggs)
1/2 c Applesauce
1 t Baking powder
1/2 t Salt
1 t Vanilla
1 T Kahula
1 T Peanut butter
x Walnuts [opt]

Spray 8 x 8 pan w/ Pam. In medium bowl, sift together cocoa, flour, baking
powder salt. (measure ingredients before sifting)

Combine peanut butter with kahlua warmed in the microwave. It will be kind
of gluey.

In large bowl, mix kahlua/pb with sugar. It will be kind of crumbly and
won’t mix entirely.

Wisk in egg [replacer] , applesauce vanilla. Combineflour mixture w/
egg
mixture. (Add nuts, if using them) Bake 35-40 minutes @350!

NOTES:I had success with EnerG egg replacer. Also, this time I replaced 1/4
cup of the flour with the same amount of the King Arthur White Wheat.
(Didn’t want them to be too heavy)

1 Gram of Fat per Brownie
One poster reports that he/she eliminated the Kahlua and the recipe came
out okay.
