CHUCK’S BARLEY-MUSHROOM WINTER BORSCHT (VEGAN

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Vegetables

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1 c Barley
1/2 c Mixed baby lima beans, split
Peas, brown lentils
1 tb Olive oil
6 c Water
2 tb Miso
1 lg Onion, chopped
5 To 6 turnips, peeled and
Cubed (or 2 parsnips, or 2
Potatoes)
2 Carrots, sliced about 1/2″
Thick
1/2 To 3/4 pound mushrooms,
Sliced
3 Cloves garlic, minced
1/2 ts Pepper (or to taste)
2 ts Marjoram
1 t Rosemary
1/3 c Tamari
3 tb Unsalted butter (or magarine
For vegan)

Saute the garlic and onion in olive oil on medium heat
until the onions are translucent. Combine the barley,
lima beans, split peas, lentils, miso, and water with
the onion/garlic, and bring to a boil. Add the turnips
and carrots, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for
about 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally.

(“But grandma, where did they get miso in the
Ukraine?” “Shut up and eat your soup.”)

(If you have broccoli stems, peel and slice them and
add them at this point. I also snagged about 1 cup of
shredded/sliced cabbage from the main dish, and added
about 1/2 hour before the soup was done).

Add the mushrooms, spices and tamari and continue
cooking on a low heat for another hour. Add the
butter or margarine, let sit for a few minutes, and
serve. If cooking the night before, you might want to
add 1 cup of water and heat again just before serving;
the barley tends to absorb water, and if you omit this
extra water you end up with a tasty gruel.

The butter can be omitted, but it makes for a heartier
soup.

Title: Revani (Semolina – Almond Syrup Cake with Syrup)
Categories: Greek, Cakes
Yield: 20 servings

2 1/2 c Granulated sugar
3 c Cold water
1 sm Cinnamon stick
3 Whole cloves
1 Orange (peel only)
1/2 lb Sweet butter
6 Eggs; room temperature
1 c All-purpose flour
1 c Fine semolina
3 ts Baking powder
1 c Finely chopped almonds *
1 ts Vanilla extract
2 tb Brandy

dNote: Use blanched, peeled almonds.

Combine 1-1/2 cups of the sugar with the cold water in a saucepan and
cook until dissolved, then add the cinnamon stick, cloves, and orange
peel and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove the flavorings. Cool.

Using an electric mixer, beat the butter in a large bowl until fluffy.
Gradually add the remaining sugar, beating on medium speed, then add
the eggs, one at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition,
without rushing. Meanwhile, sift the flour, semolina, baking powder,
and almonds together. Very gradually add to the batter, beating on
medium speed, then pour in the vanilla and brandy and give the batter
a last whirl on high speed for a few seconds. Pour immediately into
a buttered 9 x 12 x 3-inch cake pan and bake on the center rack of a
moderate oven (350 F) for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the cake springs
back when touched by a finger. Remove from the oven and set the pan
on a cake rack. Using a sharp knife, score the cake into diamond
shapes. Spoon the cooled syrup over the entire cake and cool.

Note: Each piece may be attractively garnished with a candied or
marachino cherry slice in the center and almond slivers angled on
each side.
