BUBBIES CHICKEN SOUP

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 8 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Poultry Ethnic

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
Large Fowl — 6 lbs
1 Lg Kettle (10-12 qt.)
-Water — cover and bring
-to a boil
-Prepare
1 Lg Onion,
3 Celery stalks
1 Parsnip,
1 bn Carrot
1 bn Dill
1 bn Parsley — (a bunch of each).

Put the chicken in the pot and cover with water. When
the soup comes to a boil, skim off the top, add the
veggies, turn down to a simmer.
Keep the lid askew, and season to taste. It’s
wonderful and freezes well. Hint: put the dill and
parsley in the mesh onion bag, to make for easier
removal.
Most would say to throw the veggies out, but I like
to eat the carrots and the onion. The chicken is great
in sandwiches or salad. I love it hot by itself, but
you can put pieces in the soup when you serve. Add
rice or noodles (cooked elsewhere) and of course
there’s always matzo balls. Enjoy,

NOTE: If you can’t find a fowl, use a Perdue Oven
Roaster, cut up. A butcher gave me this tip once and I
now use it all the time. He cut it up too.

Title: CHEESE INFO (3 OF 3)
Categories: Cheese, Info/tips
Yield: 1 servings

1 x Information on Cheeses follo
1 x (This is part 3 of 3)

MILK AND MILK PRODUCTS
Milk is used infrequently in cheesecakes. Other milk
products that appear more frequently in cheesecakes
are buttermilk, sweetened condensed milk, and Yogurt.
Buttermilk is made when special bacteria are added to
lowfat milk; therefore, an average eight-ounce serving
has about 100 calories. It is available in most
supermarkets, in 1-quart containers.
Sweetened condensed milk is evaporated milk to which
sugar has been added. It is very high in calories –
about 980 calories in a cup.
It is sold, unrefrigerated, in most supermarkets.
Yogurt is milk that has been allowed to ferment to a
semisolid consistency. It can be made from either
whole or skim milk. It is often used as a substitute
for sour cream, since it often achieves a similar
result.
If you do attempt to substitute yogurt for sour
cream, use whole milk yogurt if possible and drain
carefully of excess water. Yogurt has far fewer
calories as well — about 120 as opposed to sour
cream’s average of 475 per cup. Yogurt is sold in all
supermarkets in eight-ounce and larger containers.
You can also make it at home quite easily.
EGGS
Since the cheeses and creams used in cheesecakes have
such a high moisture content, it is necessary to have
an ingredient that can hold or absorb water. The most
popular and the most elegant solution to this problem
is the egg. Also since egg yolks and whites harden as
they bake, they add body and texture to the
cheesecake. Egg yolks in particular contain lecithin,
an emulsifier, which has the effect of congealing the
fats in the cheese. Generally a cheesecake recipe with
a high fat content will also call for relatively more
eggs.
EGG WHITES;
Many recipes require you to separate the eggs and to
beat the whites until they form stiff peaks with the
beaters of your mixer. As egg whites are beaten, the
albumen is spun out into a finer and finer web of
protein, the finer the structure, the more moisture
the batter can hold. If the whites are overbeaten or
overheated, however, the delicate structure collapses
and the result is a soggy cheesecake.
Since air is also encapsulated, the egg whites also
add lightness to the cake. Oddly enough, the freshest
eggs are not the best for cheesecakes; the whites of
eggs that are a few days old can be beaten to a larger
volume. Unless you have access to farm fresh eggs,
though, this isn’t likely to be a problem as most of
the store bought eggs are already at least several
days old.
When beating the egg whites, add a dash of cream of
tartar to make them more stable. To make the whites
stiffer 9 if this is desired) you can blend in some
confectioners’ sugar or a boiling sugar syrup once the
whites have reached the soft peak stage.
BUTTER AND SHORTENING
Except for a few special cheesecakes, butter is not
found among the ingredients in the fillings. However,
it is basic for most of the crusts. Please use sweet
butter rather than the salted.
FRUITS AND NUTS
Many of the cheesecake recipes use the grated rind of
a lemon or orange. For the best results use the fresh
peel rather than the dried because as the peels are
dried they lose much of their aromatic oils. The only
part of the peel that is used is the outermost,
colored layer, called the zest. The zest can be
removed with a zester or with any ordinary grater.
Many cheesecake recipes call for a small amount of
lemon juice.
Fresh is the best to use, but good results can be
obtained using reconstituted lemon juice. You may
wish to experiment, varying the amount to suit your
own taste and which kind to use.
Many times ground nuts are called for and it has been
found that lightly toasting them brings out a better
flavor in almonds and hazelnuts (filberts). They
retain more of their crunch when used in the batter.
To roast the nuts, spread them out on a baking pan and
bake for 10 minutes or so in a 350 degree F. oven,
stirring occasionally to ensure even browning. If you
use hazel nuts (filberts) that still have their
paperlike skins, the skins must be removed before use
— they acquire a burnt taste during the roasting.
The cost of nuts, especially walnuts, in small
quantities is outrageous, but you can save a bundle if
you buy them in the bulk and in the shell. Shelled
nuts turn rancid fairly quickly, though, store them in
the refrigerator or freezer, well wrapped.
SPICES AND FLAVORINGS
Spices such as cinnamon, cloves, ginger, nutmeg, and
cardamom will appear frequently in cheesecake recipes
because the contrast so well with the mildness of the
cheeses. Spices do deteriorate as they sit on your
rack, so be sure to always have fresh ones on hand for
your baking day. Cinnamon and ginger can be used
ground commercially, but you may want to grate your
own nutmeg and grind your own cloves or cardamom from
the whole spices. A coffee grinder is one of the best
ways to do this.
Certain flavorings such as vanilla extract or
instant-coffee powder are used in cheesecakes.
Rosewater is used in some and can be found in
specialty stores as well as the drugstore.
Chocolate is used in the mocha-flavored and
chocolate-flavored cheesecakes. Please use the real
chocolate, baking or semi-sweet

GERMAN PEPPERED BEEF SOUP

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 2 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Soups

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
5 lb German peppered beef *
2 lg Yellow onions diced large
1 c Crushed RED BELL peppers **
2 lb Red potatoes
2 lg Carrots
2 Celery stocks (not bunches)
1/4 c Oregeno
1/4 c Sweet basil
1 tb Celery seed
1/8 c Carroway seed
1/2 c Dill weed

* this may be obtained from all of the german deli’s I have ever been in
(which may not be many)… and is basically a rather tough cut of beef
which
has been covered (and I do mean covered) with very large chunks of black
pepper corns (some are even whole)
** if you can not find red bell peppers dried and crushed you will want to
do
it your self for the flavor needed… cut three or four red bell peppers
into
small pieces and spread out on paper towels to dry (or put it in your food
drier if you have one) seeds and all!
FIRST: cut the meat into 1 inch chunks (leaving the precious pepper on
it!),
sear by your favorite method… I prefer a small amount of sesame oil in a
wok.
CROCK POT METHOD: chop everything up into 1 inch chunks throw in the pot,
set
on medium (200 degrees), cover with water plus 1 inch (for the pan as my
mentor said), cook covered (with a lid) stirring every 2 hours or so from
the
bottom for 4 hours, turn to low, cook covered for 6 hours.
PAN METHOD: chop everything into 1 inch chunks, place carrots, celery, and
meat into pan, cook 1 hour at med/low (150 to 160 degrees), add the rest of
the goodies, cook 1 hour.
Ahh a bug found… covered in water both times, better go change it
plus 1 inch for the pan
LAST: refrigerate for at least 6 hours, warm only as much as you will be
eating.
NOTES: you are correct, this method looks a little “ugly”, but having been
taught to make this soup by a german grandmother, and her scottish husband
(my grand father, who also was a chef by trade)… I learned at a very
young
age that what they said usualy worked the best, even though it took more
time.

Hanukah Roly Poly

Recipe By : Felicia Pickering
Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Desserts

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
–Dough:
3 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 cup oil
1/4 cup orange juice
Zest of 1 orange
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
4 cups (to 5 cups) all-purpose flour
–Filling:
6 tablespoons (+ or -) granulated sugar
3 teaspoons (+ or -) cinnamon
1 cup raisins, plumped and well dried
1/4 cup strawberry or apricot jam — warmed
1 cup chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups Gummy Bears
1 cup coconut shreds — sweetened
1 1/2 cups walnuts or pecans — finely chopped
–Garnish:
1 egg — beaten
Coarse or granulated sugar

Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper (using parchment paper is
imperative for this recipe because of the sweet, sticky syrup that may
leak out). Preheat oven to 350 F.
In a large mixing bowl, stir together the eggs and sugar. Stir in oil,
orange juice, orange zest, vanilla and salt. Fold in baking powder and
flour to make a soft dough. (If you are not sure how much flour is enough,
more can be added on your work board when the dough is rolled.) Divide
dough in three sections. On a well-floured board, roll one section at a
time into a 10-by-12-inch rectangle. If dough seems too soft, add a little
more flour, as required, on the worktable.
On each rolled-out section of dough, spread one-third of the ingredients
in this order: sugar and cinnamon, then jam, raisins, chocolate chips,
Gummy Bears, coconut and chopped nuts.
Starting at the end nearest you, gently roll up pastry into a jelly-roll-style
log. Paint with egg wash and sprinkle with sugar. Prepare the remaining
dough sections in the same fashion.
Place the three logs on a baking sheet. Brush with the beaten egg, then
sprinkle with coarse or regular sugar. Bake until Roly Poly is nicely
browned, around 25 to 28 minutes. Remove from oven, let cool on baking
sheet, then remove to a board. Cut into 1/2-inch slices.

PIPERADE* [Master Recipe]

Recipe By : MARIA CIANCI, Chronicle Staff Writer
Serving Size : 12 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Main Dishes Side Dishes
Vegetables

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1/3 cup olive oil
1 3/4 pounds onions — peeled, halved, cut
7 pounds peppers — seeded, trimmed, in 1″ strips
3 jalapeno peppers — seeded, slivered
1 1/2 teaspoons salt — or to taste
black pepper — Freshly ground (optional)

Heat oil in heavy stock pot (or use 2 large, heavy pots) over high heat.
When it is rippling, add onions and saute, stirring frequently, for 2
minutes. Add peppers and jalapenos and saute, stirring frequently, for 5
minutes. Add 1/4 cup water, cover pot, reduce heat to medium-low, and
“sweat” the mixture, stirring occasionally, until peppers are just
tender, 15 to 25 minutes. Add salt halfway through cooking time. When
mixture is cooked, season with more salt, if necessary, and pepper, if des
ired. Let mixture stand for 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm or hot,
about 1 cup per person, as a side dish. Refrigerate remaining piperade
for up to 5 days. Yields about 12 cups

– - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – -

NOTES : Using one variety of pepper only — say, green bell or red Gypsy
— can make a perfectly fine piperade, but a variety of colorful peppers
looks festive and shows off the bounty of the summer harvest. Serve with
roasted chicken, grilled lamb cho ps and steaks, or as a topping for
hamburgers and fish such as halibut or salmon.
The leftovers can be transformed into even more side dishes during
the week with the help of condiments, such as capers and olives, or fresh
herbs, such as thyme, oregano and basil. Adding vegetables is another way
to vary piperade during the week. Tomatoes, sauteed squash, eggplant or
greens, or boiled potatoes and green beans are delicious additions to the
sweet peppers. Lamb, beef and chicken are fine partners for the piperade,
as are fish such as halibut, salmon and orange roughy.
