Here is a recipe for “Energy Balls” by Joseph Bank. I found it in the March
issue of Bicycling magazine.

Ingredients

24 Dried Figs 1/3 cup Honey
4 tbsp Orange Juice 2 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tsp Lemon Juice 2 1/2 cups unbleacher flour
1/2 tsp Baking Soda 1/4 tsp Baking Powder
1 tbsp Applesauce 1/2 cup Dark Corn Syrup
2 Egg Whites 1 cup Oat Bran

Directions

Add figs, honey, orange juice, and 2 tbsp lemon juice to food
processor and mix on “chop” until fig bits are finely cut. Set aside.
Put all other ingredients (except oat bran) in mixing bowl. Beat
with an electric mixer 3 – 4 minutes at medium speed. Add fig mixture and
beat until everything blends. Roll 20 – 24 balls and coat with oat bran
poured on a plate. Place balls on a pan and bake at 350 deg. for 10 minutes,
or until they are warm and a bit puffy. Place in a refrigerator to harden.
For a crunchier texture, bake 2 – 5 minutes longer, or until dough is
thoroughly cooked.

occasionally, until chicken browns on all sides.

Thin the peanut butter with a few tablespoons of hot broth from the

the leaves is sufficient for steaming) until tender. Drain and

1 to 1 1/4 lbs fish fillets (I used mahi-mahi)
1 tsp oil
2 onions, thinly sliced
2 zucchini, thinly sliced
2 yellow squash, thinly sliced
1/3 cup lemon juice
1/2 tsp salt or to taste
1/4 tsp black pepper
3 Tbl fresh herbs

Makes 4 servings.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Spread oil in the bottom of a 9×12″ baking. Spread 1/2 of onions,
zucchini and squash in baking pan. Place fish on vegetables. Spread
on remaining vegetables. Sprinkle lemon juice over vegetables. Season
with salt and pepper. Cover with aluminum foil.

Bake for 45 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle with fresh herbs
and serve.

I used chives, tarragon, thyme and a few sage leaves. You could also
use parsley or dill. I would steer clear of too much sage or rosemary
since they can be overpowering. And, I wouldn’t replace them with
dried. The more subtle flavor of the fresh herbs is what makes the
dish.
