LEMON SLICE MUFFINS

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 12 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Muffins Breads

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
3 Lemons
1 tb Water
1/2 c Sugar, Or More, If Needed
6 tb Unsalted Butter
2 c Flour
2 ts Baking Powder
1/2 ts Baking Soda
1/2 ts Salt
2 Eggs
1 c Milk

Preheat oven to 400øF. Butter standard size muffin
tins. Finely grate the zest from the lemons, removing
only the bright yellow portion of the peel. Set the
lemons aside. Combine the zest, the water and 1/4 cup
of the sugar in a small saucepan. Stir over medium
heat for about 2 minutes, just until the sugar
dissolves. Add the butter and stir until melted,
about 1 minute longer. Set aside. With a sharp knife
remove and discard all the remaining peel from the
lemons. Cut the lemons crosswise into slices about
1/4 inch thick; discard any seeds. You will need
about 12 nicely shaped slices. Put about 1 teaspoon of
the remaining sugar in the bottom of each prepared
muffin cup and place a lemon slice on top. In a medium
bowl, stir and toss together the flour, baking powder,
baking soda and salt. Set aside. In a larger bowl
whisk together the eggs, milk and the reserved lemon
mixture until smooth. Add the combined dry
ingredients and stir just until blended. Spoon into
the tins, filling about 3/4 full. Bake until a
toothpick comes out clean, 15 – 20 minutes.
Immediately invert the tins; the muffins should fall
out. If they resist, nudge them with a knife. * Makes
about 12 standard muffins. * Source: Williams Sonoma

Title: Spanakopita Nistisimi (Lenten Spinach Pie)
Categories: Appetizers, Main dish, Greek, Vegetarian, Vegan
Yield: 8 servings

Karen Mintzias
1 lb Curly endive
3 lb Fresh bulk spinach
-washed, large stems removed
3 bn Large scallions
– white and green chopped
– together
5 tb Fruity olive oil
1 Lemon
1 1/2 c Finely chopped fresh dill
1 ts Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tb Rice or cracked wheat

MMMMM—————————PASTRY——————————–
1 1/2 c All-purpose flour
Extra flour for rolling
1 ts Sea salt
1 ts Baking powder
5 tb Olive oil (about)
1 tb Sesame seeds

Start by making the pastry. Sift the flour with the salt and baking
powder. Mix in about 6 tablespoons water, a little at a time, until
the dough is gooey, but not wet. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil, plus
another teaspoonful, and a little more flour, if needed, to make a
cohesive mass. Knead the dough for 5 to 10 minutes, until smooth and
elastic. Cover it and set aside to relax for an hour or two.

For the filling, separate the curly endive leaves, so the vegetable
will cook in the same time. Steam the spinach and endive together in
a large pan, in the water clinging to the leaves, plus just an extra
1/2 cup. Turn the leaves over occasionally, so they wilt evenly. When
they are wilted, but not mushy, drain them in a colander, pressing
firmly with the back of a wooden spoon to remove as much excess
liquid as possible. (Reserve the liquid for use in soup, or drink
with a squeeze of lemon juice, as the Greeks do.)

Saute the scallions in 2 tablespoons olive oil, until barely soft.
Add a few tablespoons of water if they stick to the pan. Roughly
chop the cooked spinach and curly endive and finely grate the zest
from the lemon. Then toss the cooked vegetables with the scallions,
parsley, dill, lemon zest and 1 tablespoon lemon juice, salt, and
pepper, adding 3 tablespoons olive oil. Set aside until you are ready
to fill the pastry.

Choose an ovenproof earthenware or glass baking dish 2 to 2-1/2
inches deep and about 2-quart capacity and brush the inside with oil.
Divide the pastry into two unequal parts, and then again into halves.
On a floured surface roll out one of the larger pieces of pastry.
This should be large enough to line the dish, coming up and over the
sides – this should make it very thin. Fit it into the baking dish
and brush it with olive oil. Do the same with the second piece of
pastry, placing it on top of the first, and brush again with olive
oil.

Sprinkle the tablespoon of rice or cracked wheat over the bottom, to
soak up excess juices, and fill with the spinach and herb mixture.
Roll out the remaining two pieces of pastry, separately, to fit the
top of the dish. Place the first on top of the spinach, brush with
olive oil, then place the second on top of that. Prick the pastry
with a fork in an attractive pattern and brush the entire top with
olive oil. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake in an oven preheated to
350 F for 45-50 minutes, until golden brown.

Title: Willie’s Crisp
Categories: Desserts, Ceideburg 2
Yield: 9 servings

1 c Flour
1 c Sugar
1 ts Baking powder
1/2 ts Salt
1 Egg, beaten
5 To 6 cups peeled, seeded,
-sliced fruit, or stemmed
-berries
1/2 To 3/4 cup sugar
2 tb Flour
1/4 lb Butter, melted

I love cobblers, crisps, etc., but never make them. This one may
change my mind. What can you say about a recipe that starts like
this?

“…When I called her, she read me the recipe from a small black cook
that contains, she says, the recipes that have no peer, the benchmark
recipes. Willie’s Crisp is part of this collection, and although I
have no idea who Willie is, I do know that his is the only crisp I’ve
ever had that was crisp. It is perfect on top of fruit or berries.”

Preheat the oven to 375F. Have ready an 8 x 8-inch baking dish (no
need to butter it). Put 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar, the baking powder
and salt in a large mixing bowl. Stir to mix well. Make a well in
the center of the dry ingredients and add the beaten egg. (Don’t add
the egg now unless you are going to bake this right away. The sugar
will begin to melt, and the mixture won’t crumble and spread
properly.) Stir mixture with a fork. It should be crumbly; if it
seems too dry, add a little more egg. Put the fruit or berries into
another mixing bowl. Stir together the 2 tablespoons flour and sugar
to taste. Add to the fruit and toss lightly to coat. Spoon fruit into
the baking dish and spread evenly. Sprinkle the crisp mixture evenly
over the top. Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the crisp
mixture. Bake for about 40 minutes, or until the topping is golden.
Serve warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

Serves 9.

Title: Shrimp Stuffed Ravioli with Basil
Categories: Seafood, Italian, Masterchefs, Frisco, E
Yield: 4 servings

———————————-FILLING———————————-
2 tb Butter 1/2 lb Shrimp, fresh, peeled,
1 md Onion, finely chopped — deveined, chopped
1 ea Garlic, clove, finely Pepper, cayenne
— chopped Pepper, white
4 md Tomatoes, skinned, seeded Salt
— and coarsely chopped

———————————–PASTA———————————–
9 oz Flour 1/4 c Water
1 lg Egg 1 ts Salt
1 tb Butter, unsalted, melted Egg wash **

———————————–SAUCE———————————–
1/2 c Puree, basil *** Salt (to taste)
2 c Cream, heavy Pepper (to taste)
2 tb Cheese, Parmesan, grated

** Egg wash is made of 1 egg, a dash of olive oil, salt and pepper to
taste.

*** In a blender, add fresh basil to 1 tablespoon of white wine.

Filling:
========

Melt the butter in a saute pan, then cook the onion, and garlic in the
butter for about 5 minutes over medium heat. Add the tomatoes and shrimp,
heat to a gentle boil, then simmer for 15 minutes.

Add cayenne pepper, salt, and white pepper to taste, then cook for 35
minutes. Set aside in a refrigerator until cold.

Pasta:
======

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and egg. Mix slowly, adding
cooled melted butter, water, and salt. Mix only enough to incorporate,
then run through a pasta machine to form thin sheets. (Mixing too much will
result in a tougher pasta.)

Sauce:
======

Reduce basil puree by one-half. Add cream, reduce to a smooth
consistency, and remove from heat. Add Parmesan cheese, salt and white
pepper. Strain and reserve. (Sauce should be of a medium consistency.)

Assembly:
=========

Lay buttered sheet of parchment paper on your work surface. Onto the
parchment, place one sheet of pasta and brush it with egg wash.

Place a large spoonful of filling about every 4 inches on the pasta
sheet. Lay a second sheet of pasta over the top and form tightly around
the filling, then brush with egg wash.

Cut around piles of filling and parchment to form raviolis. Place
raviolis in saute pan, and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook al
dente. (Your best bet to know when the ravioli is done correctly is to
take a piece of the dough that isn’t used for the sheets, insure that it is
the same double thickness as the final raviolis, and add it to the pan as
you cook the ravioli. You can use this “spare” piece to judge the al dente
qualities of the cooked raviolis.)

Place cooked ravioli on a plate and cover with sauce. Garnish with
fresh basil leaves and chopped tomato.

—–

1 small head of cabbage, shredded or chopped fine
1 large jar of favorite spaghetti sauce (or make your own)
1 cup rice (I used white, but I’m sure that brown would work too, though
you may need to add more water)
1 cup water
1 cup of sliced mushrooms (I’m sure other veggies would work too)

In a dry, nonstick skillet “fry” the rice until it’s brown in color. Then put
half of it in the bottom of a large casserole dish. Layer half of the
shredded cabbage on top of it.

Mix the water and the spaghetti sauce and then pour half of it over the
cabbage. Spread half of the mushrooms over this. Then repeat your
layers.

Bake for about an hour in a 350 degree oven.
