VEGETARIAN ROAST

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : None Vegetarian

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
8 1/2 oz Long grain rice
7 oz Button mushrooms, finely
-chopped
5 oz Whole grain bread crumbs
5 oz Nuts (any kind such as
-almonds, brazil nuts or
-unsalted peanuts), chopped
5 oz Low fat mozzarella cheese
4 Eggs
4 md Carrots, grated
3 md Onions, chopped
1/4 c Sunflower or safflower oil
1/4 c Dried parsley
1/2 ts Ground black pepper
1/4 ts Garlic powder

** Procedure **

1) Cook the rice in boiling water for 30 to 35
minutes, until tender, or use an automatic rice
cooker. 250g of rice is about 2 small automatic rice
cooker cups, but please check your rice cooker to be
sure. When using an automatic rice cooker, add a
little more water for brown rice than you would for
white. ie. if you cook 2 small rice cooker cups of
brown rice, then fill the rice cooker pot to the 3
level with water.

2) Thoroughly blend everything in a large bowl or pot.
Then pack the mixture into 2 medium sized (1.4 l or
1.4 quarts) loaf tins, which have been lightly oiled.

3) Bake at 350F (180C) for 1 to 1 1/4 hours or until
firm to touch and brown on top. Vegetarian Roast is
traditionally served, hot or cold, with tomato sauce
or chutney.

: ** Variations **

Fry the onions, carrots, and mushrooms, in the oil
until softened, before adding them to the entire
mixture in step #2. Serve with a legume soup, such as
pea soup or lentil stew. Replace the eggs with a
commercial egg substitute. Replace the mushrooms with
green, red, or yellow peppers. Replace the mozzarella
with cheddar cheese (the older the stronger the
flavour). Replace the mushrooms with green, red, or
yellow peppers.

Title: Cactus Jelly
Categories: relishes/preserves
Yield: 1 serving

see below

Do not double recipe.
Gather about 1 qt. of fruit to make 2-1/2 C. of juice. If most of the fruit
is very ripe, try to include some under-ripe ones to add pectin. Wash fruit
and place in kettle with just enough water to cover. Boil until quite tende
r and soft (extracts pectin and flavor).
Strain through two thicknesses of cheesecloth and set juice aside so sedime
nt will settle. For clear jelly, do not use sediment portion.
For each 2-1/2 C. juice, add one package of powdered pectin (more successfu
l than liquid). Bring to fast boil, stirring constantly. Add 3 T. lemon or
lime juice and 3-1/2 C. sugar. Bring to a hard boil (one you can’t press do
wn with a spoon) and boil for three minutes. The timing is very important t
o get a product that will jell.
Remove from heat, skim and pour into sterilized jelly glasses. Cover with a
layer of melter paraffin.
(I am experimenting with a non-sugar version using apple, pear and white
grape juice concentrate but at present have it all in freezer waiting for
some time to try different quantities, etc.)

Title: Stuffed Monster Zucchini
Categories: Veg-cook, August
Yield: 1 servings

1 Giant zucchini
x Rice
x Lentils
x Celery
x Onion
x Garlic
x Cumin
x Thyme

This is of general interest, so I’ll post it. I, too, was recently given a
giant zucchini, big enough to effectively bludgeon someone. (ironically
enough, I got it in a butcher shop my dad dragged me in to.) I sliced it in
half horizontally, scooped out the seeds, and stuffed it with cooked rice
and lentils and baked it. Put some lentils in a pot with water and boil
them until barely soft. Throw in some rice and cook until barely done,
using as little water as possible. Meanwhile, sautee some celery, onion and
garlic (not too much garlic.) and add that to the rice and lentils, along
with some ground cumin and thyme. Throw it on the zucchini and bake at
around 350 or 400 until the zucchini is soft. The surface of the stuffing
will probably get burned and dried out, but you van just brush it aside.

YOGURT BRAN MUFFINS

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories :
Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1 c Yogurt
1 t Baking soda
1/2 c Vegetable oil
3/4 c Brown sugar
1 Egg
1 c Natural bran
1 c Flour
2 ts Baking powder
1/2 ts Salt
1/2 c Berries/peaches/raisins

Combine yogurt and soda. Use a big bowl – it foams.

Mix oil, sugar, eggs, and bran. Add yogurt.

Add flour, baking powder, and salt. Fold in fruit.

Raisins are good with strawberry or raspberry yogurt.
Otherwise, match yogurt to fruit.

*Note: At work (where I got this), my boss saves up
odds and ends of yogurt all week, and she dumps them
all together to make this brown-looking mess of
yogurt. It doesn’t taste different in the muffins,
though, and you can toss in any kind of fruit with it.
