1 c Old-fashioned oats; uncooked

Preheat oven to moderate (375 degrees). Line jelly-roll pan with
aluminum foil.

Saute onion in oil in large skillet over medium heat 3 minutes. Add
red pepper, garlic, basil, and thyme, saute 5 minutes.

Combine beef, pork, oats, egg, whites, mozzarella, Parmesan, parsley,
optional salt, and pepper in large bowl. Add vegetable mixture.

Bake in moderate oven (375 degrees) for 30 minutes. Brush loaf with

Judi’s Notes: I would bake this meat loaf in a loaf pan due to
possible grease escaping from the jelly roll pan. I would also spoon
off some of the fat from the loaf after 30 minutes.

Honey Lemon Sponge Cake (Kastutera)

Recipe By : Lisa Oh (lisa_o@msn.com)
Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Dessert: Cakes

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1 cup sugar
plus 1 tablespoon
1/4 cup honey
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon lemon extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
7 large eggs — separated
1 cup cake flour — sifted
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar

1. Preheat oven to 325F. Use parchment to line the bottom of a 10 inch tube
pan, preferably with a removable bottom. Grease the parchment. In a large
bowl, whisk 1 cup sugar, honey, vanilla, lemon extract, and salt into egg
yolks. Place bowl in a large pan of hot water. With an electric mixer, beat
about 5 minutes on medium-high speed until pale yellow and doubled in volume.
Gently fold in sifted flour.

2. Wash beaters. In a large bowl, beat egg whites in electric mixer on a low
speed 1 minute, increasing speed to medium-high. When foamy, sprinkle in 1
tablespoon sugar and cream of tartar. Beat until stiff but not dry. With a
spatula, fold the egg whites in thirds. Pour batter into pan. Tap gently on
the counter to remove air bubbles.

3. Bake on middle rack of oven 35 to 45 minutes or until golden brown. When
done, cake sides will pull away from pan slightly; top will be flat and feel
spongy when pressed with finger. Cool 20 minutes. Run a small knife between
edge of cake and pan. Remove from pan carefully. Pull off parchment and cool
completey. Serve or store airtight.

Title: GREEK TSOUREKI ( EASTER BREAD)
Categories: Greek, Breads, Holiday
Yield: 2 servings

1 c Milk
1/2 c Sweet butter
1 pk Active dry yeast
1/2 c Granulated sugar
1 ts Salt
2 Eggs; beaten
5 tb Orange juice
1 tb Grated orange rind
5 1/2 c Sifted flour
Butter; melted
Red-dyed, hard-boiled eggs
1/4 c Slivered almonds
2 tb Granulated sugar

In a small saucepan, combine the milk and butter over medium heat and
scald. Stir until the butter melts, then pour into a mixing bowl. When
lukewarm, sprinkle in the yeast, and with fingers or a heavy spoon
gradually stir in the 1/2 cup sugar until it dissolves. Then add the
salt, eggs 3 tablespoons of the orange juice, and the orange rind,
stirring continuously, and gradually add half the flour until the mixture
begins to bubble. Continue adding flour gradually by hand; the dough will
be sticky, but should not be stiff. Flour your fingers lightly and knead
for 15 minutes. Place the dough in a large buttered bowl, brush the dough
with melted butter, cover, and place in a warm area to rise until doubled
in bulk (approximately 2 to 3 hours).
Punch the dough down and divide into 2 parts. Divide each half into 3
parts and roll each into a long rope about 10″ x 2". Braid the three
ropes together; pinch to seal the ends if leaving long, or join together
to form a long round loaf (see note below). Repeat with the other half of
the dough to make a second tsoureki. Place in large baking pans or on a
cookie sheet, cover, and let rise until doubled in bulk (approx. 1 1/2
hours).
Meanwhile, prepare the glaze by mixing the remaining orange juice,
remaining sugar, and the almonds in a small bowl. Bake the tsourekia in a
375 degree oven for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and with a pastry
brush glaze the tops and sides of loaves. Return to the oven and bake for
another 15 to 20 minutes until the color is a rich and shiny chestnut.
Note: If using the Easter eggs, tuck them into the center when you
shape the loaves, leave until loaves have doubled and bake them with the
loaf. After baking, though lovely, the eggs will be inedible. Also in
some provinces, the tsoureki is formed with a large braid and a smaller
one over it, making a much larger loaf requiring a longer baking time.

1/2 Chopped Onion
1/2 c Cooked Green lentils
1/3 c Cooked peas
1 Grated Carrot
1 tb Chopped Fresh Parsely
1 ts Tamari
2 c Breadcrumbs
1/4 c Flour

Saute the onion until soft Mix all ingrediants except
the flour and leave to cool Form the mixture into
patties and brown in skillet

This came from _New Recipes for Young Vegetarians_ by
Sammy Green Lentils take about one hour to cook from
dry, but they freeze well, so make a big bunch of them
at once. This recipe came out kind of crumbly, but
that might have been a fluke, as this was the first
time I’d made it. 🙂

has a “Lentil-Walnut Burger” recipe on page 147

SAUTEED GREENS FOR PIADINI

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Italian Breads
Ceideburg 2

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1 lb Fresh spinach or Swiss chard
1/2 lb Broccoli top (cime di rapa)
-or other bitter greens
1 lb Head Savoy cabbage
Salt
1/4 c Olive oil
1 tb Chopped garlic
Freshly ground pepper

Wash spinach and cime di rapa thoroughly. Discard the darkest outer
leaves of the cabbage and cut off the stem; cut cabbage in quarters.

Bring 3 or 4 quarts of water to a boil, add 1 tablespoon salt and put
in the cime di rapa. Cover loosely top and cook for 8 to 12 minutes.
Drain and set aside.

If using chard, cook in exactly the same manner, stalks included, but
in its own water. The cabbage is cooked the same way, but without
salt, for 15 to 20 minutes. If using spinach, cook in a covered pan
with just the water that clings to the leaves, adding salt to taste.
Cook until tender, drain, set aside.

Gently but firmly squeeze all the moisture you can out of all the
greens. Chop together, but not too fine.

Put oil and garlic in medium saute pan and saute over medium heat
until garlic becomes lightly colored. Add chopped greens, turning
with a fork so they are evenly coated, seasoning with salt and
pepper. Saute about 10 minutes, turning frequently. Taste and
correct seasoning.

Serve hot.

Serves 6.
