Title: FENNEL, MUSHROOM AND PARMESAN SALAD
Categories: Salads, Madison
Yield: 6 servings

1 Garlic clove
1/4 ts Coarse sea salt
2 1/2 tb Lemon juice
2 Lemon peel strip; minced
1/8 ts Fennel seeds
– crushed under a spoon
– or in a mortar
5 tb Extra-virgin olive oil
8 oz Mushrooms, large, firm
– wiped clean
Pepper
1 Fennel bulb
1 tb Fennel greens, chopped
1 tb Italian parsley, chopped
Salt
3 oz Parmesan Reggiano; shaved
– into paper-thin slices

POUND THE GARLIC and the salt in a mortar until completely smooth.
Stir in the lemon juice, lemon peel, fennel seeds and olive oil to
make a tart, lemony vinaigrette. Thinly slice the mushrooms,
carefully dress them with a few tablespoons of the vinaigrette, and
season them with plenty of freshly ground black pepper. Lay a damp
kitchen towel or a piece of plastic wrap directly over them to keep
them from browning, and set aside for 1 hour to marinate. Trim the
fennel bulb and cut it into quarters. Remove most of the core; then
slice it lengthwise, very thinly, leaving the pieces joined together.
Dress it with most of the remaining vinaigrette and half the herbs,
and season with salt and pepper. Add the rest of the herbs to the
mushrooms. Layer the mushrooms, cheese and fennel on each plate and
spoon the remaining vinaigrette over the top.

Title: STEAMED PORK DUMPLINGS (SHIU MAI)
Categories: Chinese, Pork
Yield: 1 servings

1 pk Round dumpling skins *
1/2 lb Prawns
12 Chinese mushrooms, small or
– use canned but squeeze dry
1/2 lb Ground pork
2 Green onion, finely chopped
1 sm Egg

————————-SEASONING————————-
1/2 ts Salt
1 ts Sugar
1 tb Sesame oi
2 ts Thin soy sauce
1 ts Oyster sauce
1 tb Cornstarch

Shell, devein, wash, and drain prawns. Dice into bits.

Boil mushrooms in water for 10 minutes, rinse, squeeze
dry, cut off and discard stems; then chop into very
small pieces.

Combine the pork, mushrooms, prawns, and onion. Put
mixture on chopping board and chop 10 to 15 strokes
with cleaver. (Use a sharp knife if you don’t have a
cleaver.) Texture, when you’re finished, should be
slightly finer than hamburger.

Add “seasoning” and the egg to the pork mixture. Mix
well.

To make dumpling, place 1 Tb filling in the center of
a dumpling skin. Then bring all sides of the skin up
to cover the meat as much as possible, without
closing. The top of the dumpling is left open.

Cook dumplings by steaming for 30 minutes. Use as
many as you need, with the rest, cool, wrap, freeze.
Reheat after thawing by steaming 10 minutes.

Serve with soy sauce, hot sauce, or mustard.

* Dumpling skins are similar to won ton skins, except
that they are round and slightly thinner. You may
substitute won ton skins by merely cutting off the
corners to round off the skin.
