Title: TORSK MED EGGESAUS (POACHED CODFISH STEAKS W/EGG SAUCE)
Categories: Norwegian, Seafood, Cheese/eggs, Main dish
Yield: 6 servings

1/2 c Salt
6 Codfish steaks; fresh,
-sliced 3/4″ thick

———————————EGG SAUCE———————————
1/4 lb Butter
1/4 c Hot fish stock (from above)
1 md Tomato; peeled, seeded and
-chopped
1 tb Chives; finely chopped
Salt pepper

—————————–ALTERNATE GARNISH—————————–
8 tb Butter; melted
1 Lemon; thinly sliced
Parsley sprigs

If you don’t have a long, narrow fish poacher, an enamel roasting pan
5″ deep will do just as well. Fill the pan with water to a depth of
4″ and add 1/2 cup salt. Bring to a boil (over two burners, if
necessary), reduce heat slightly and gently slide the cod slices into
the water with a spatula. Lower the heat until water is bubbling
slightly and simmer for about 5 minutes. Be careful not to overcook
or the fish will disintegrate. Remove the slices with a slotted
spatula and drain them on a linen napkin or dish towel. Reserve stock
for use in the egg sauce. Arrange cod attractively on a heated
platter and serve with egg sauce.
EGG SAUCE: Melt the butter in a saucepan. Remove from the heat, beat
in 1/4 cup of the stock in which you poached the fish and stir in
chopped egg, tomato, parsley and chives. Add salt and pepper to
taste. Heat almost to the boiling point, pour into a sauceboat and
serve with the cod. If you prefer, you can simply pour melted butter
over the cod and garnish with lemon slices and parsley. In Norway,
this dish is often accompanied by raw diced carrots, sprinkled with
lemon juice and new potatoes (see recipe).

Title: Fortune Cookies **** (Kevin’s Favorite)
Categories: Chinese, Cookies
Yield: 1 servings

1/3 c Cake flour
1/3 c Granulated sugar
2 lg Egg whites
2 tb Confectioners’ sugar
2 tb Vegetable oil, preferably
-canola
1 tb Butter; softened
1 ts Pure vanilla extract
1 pn Salt

Recipe by: Eating Well
Preheat oven to 300F. Very lightly oil 2 nonstick baking sheets or
lightly coat them with nonstick cooking spray.
In a food processor, combine all of the ingredients and process until
smooth.
Drop 6 scant tablespoonfuls of the butter onto a prepared baking sheet,
placing well apart from each other on the sheet. (Set the remaining
ingredients on the side.) With a small spatula or the back of a spoon,
spread each spoonful into a 3 1/2 inch circ
le. Bake until quite golden, 10-15 minutes.
Have a small bowl and a muffin tin ready. Remove the aking sheet from the
oven. With a think spatula, carefully release the cookies but leave them
on the baking sheet. Return the sheet of cookies to the oven to soften
for 1 minute. Open the oven door
but leave the cookies inside to remain pliable in the warmth of the oven.
Remove 1 cookie at a time from the oven. Lay a fortune in the center of a
cookie and roll into a tube, overlapping the edges slightly. Holding the
ends, fold the cookie in half down over the rim of the bowl to form the
traditional fortune cookie shape.
Immediately transfer the cookie to the muffin tin to keep it from
opening as it cools. Repeat with the remaining cookies. Spread and bake
the remaining batter, and form cookies as directed above.
Makes 12 fortune cookies.
