CHRISTMAS/THANKSGIVING STUFFING

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Entrees Holiday
Usenet

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1/2 lb Beef, ground
2 tb Butter
1 t Salt
1/2 c White rice, raw
1 Poultry liver
-(from the bird you
-are going to stuff)
1/2 c Pine nuts
1/2 c Almonds (blanched),
-whole
10 Prunes, pitted
1/2 c Raisins
10 Chestnuts (up to 15)

Cook the chestnuts: Cut a groove on each chestnut and
roast them on the stove (if you’ve got an electric
stove, placing the chestnuts on the burner will do the
trick, though you’ll have to do some cleaning
afterwards.) When they’re done, peel them. Watch your
hands.

Brown the beef with half the butter. Add the rice,
salt and a little water, and let it cook on low heat,
until the water is absorbed.

Boil the liver, mince it and add it into the rice and
meat. Add the almonds, prunes, raisins, chestnuts
(cut in chunks) and pine nuts. Add a small amount of
water and let everything simmer until the water is
absorbed.

The stuffing is ready to use. Add the remaining
butter and bake it. I usually wrap the stuffing in
aluminum foil, put it in a separate pan and bake it
along with the chicken. When the chicken is ready, the
stuffing is ready too!

NOTES:

* Holiday stuffing with fruit and nuts — This is an
elaborate version of the type of poultry stuffing made
in Greece. People there have never heard of bread
stuffings and, once you taste this recipe, you’ll
never want to hear about bread stuffings either! I got
the recipe from my mother, who got it from a friend,
who got it from her sister-in-law, who… Yield:
stuffs 5-6 lb poultry.

* If the chestnut-roasting procedure is to messy for
you, then just boil them.

* The amounts in the ingredients list are there for
completeness’ sake. You should really interpret them
as a few, a handful or one small package. The only
thing you have to bear in mind is that putting more
prunes will make the stuffing sourer, and putting more
raisins will make it sweeter.

* The original recipe suggested using unpitted
prunes. I believe that using pitted prunes is safer
for the teeth!

: Difficulty: easy to moderate.
: Time: 1 hour preparation, 1-2 hours cooking.
: Precision: no need to measure.

Categories : Light Meal New
Starters Vegetables

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
4 large red peppers
2 large yellow peppers
2 large green peppers
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil — plus extra brushing
1 tbsp pesto sauce
1 clove garlic — peeled and crushed
salt and freshly ground black pepper
5 ripe, full-flavoured tomatoes — skinned qrtrd dseedd
1/2 pkt fresh basil — torn
— TO SERVE —
fresh basil
black olives
extra virgin olive oil
balsamic vinegar

1. Preheat the oven to 220C/425F/Gas 7. Halve the peppers, place them in a
large roasting tin, skin side up, and roast for 25 minutes or until the
peppers have softened and the skins have wrinkled. Cool completely, then
pull out the cores and peel away the skins.

2. Lightly oil a deep 450g/1lb loaf tin, and line with clingfilm. Mix
together the pesto sauce, garlic and seasoning.

3. Place half the red peppers on the base of the tin, then top with a third
of the tomatoes. Season, scatter with some torn basil leaves and drizzle
over a little of the pesto mixture. Top with all the yellow peppers before
repeating the layering process with the green peppers and the rest of the
ingredients, finishing with the remaining red peppers.

3. Cover the terrine with a sheet of clingfilm and place the tin on a plate
to catch any juices. Put some heavy weights on top of the peppers and then
leave overnight in the fridge to compress the layers.

4. To serve, carefully remove the terrine from the tin and slowly peel away
the clingfilm. Cut into thick slices and serve with basil and olives, and
drizzled with the olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
