Categories: Fish, Mexican, Basque
Yield: 6 servings

1 lb Potatoes; small new
-scrubbed, boiled, peeled
-cut into 3/4″ chunks
1/4 c Olive Oil
2 White Onions; peeled,
-chop fine, makes 2 cups
3 Garlic Cloves; minced

1 ts Black Pepper
1/8 ts Cinnamon; ground
pn Ground Cloves; pinch
1 lb Salt Cod; seenote
4 Pickled chiles Jalapeno
-sliced into thin rings
4 tb Liquid from pickled chiles
12 Pimento-stuffed Green Olives
-sliced in half

MikeNote; Salt Cod, soak for 24 hours and Gently rinse, to remove most but
not all of the salt. Do not break up fish.
Put the potatoes in a large pan of cold, salted water, cutting any large
potatoes in half or quarters first. Bring the water to a boil and simmer
until the potatoes are just tender when pierced with a fork, 15-20 minutes.
Drain and when cool enough to handle,, peel away the skin. Set aside. In a
heavy pan such as a Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add
the onions, reduce the heat to very low and slowly saute about one hour.
Stir occasionally, watching that the onion doesn’t burn. A few dribbles
more of oil may be necessary. Pre-heat oven to 300F degrees.
Turn up the heat, add the garlic and tomato and cook, stirring constantly
until the mixture becomes thick and the liquid is substantially reduced,
about 10-15 minutes. Add the ham, parsley, pepper, cinnamon and cloves,
then gently stir the cod, potatoes, jalapenos and their juice into the
tomato mixture.
Transfer to a 1 to 2 quart casserole, preferably clay, sprinkle with the
olives and bake for 30 minutes. Bacalao a la Viscaina can be made ahead and
re-heated in a 300F oven for 20 minutes or until thoroughly hot.

Chop stems and 6-8 whole mushrooms
Add equal amounts (equal to chopped stems/caps above) of:
shredded carrots
finely chopped onions

Add 1-2 small crushed/minced/pureed cloves of garlic
Add 3-4 pieces of bread cubed small

You may also add: salt, pepper, Italian herbs if you wish. About a dash of
each–perhaps a little more of the Italian herbs

Put all ingredients in a nonstick fry pan and cook till reduced and browned

(On occassion I’ve stirred in a handfull of cheese (lowfat or nondairy) and
allowed it to melt some.

Fill caps with “stuffing” mixture. Sprinkle w/paprika. Broil till tops are
browned and the caps soften and begin to release their moisture. Serve hot

Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Breads

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method

2 tb Dry yeast
1/4 c Warm water
1/2 ts Each.. cinnamon, anise
-seeds, orange peel
1 Bay leaf
1 oz Ouzo (optional)
1/2 c Water
1/2 c Hot milk
1/4 lb Butter
7 c Unbleached flour, unsifted
1 c Sugar
1/2 ts Salt
3 Eggs
12 Walnut halves

The Greeks wrap coins in foil and knead them into this
bread. They believe anyone who finds a coin will have
good luck in the coming year.

Dissolve yeast in warm water and set aside. Put
spices, orange peel,bay leaf, and ouzo in a pot with
the 1/2 cup water and bring to a boil. Set aside to
steep and cool. Heat milk and remove from heat. Add
the butter and allow the milk to cool slightly. Put
the flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Mix in
eggs, yeast, milk mixture, and flavored water (remove
only the bay leaf) Stir the mixture until all the
flour has been absorbed.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured board and
knead until smooth, about 20 minutes. Place in a
buttered bowl, and flip the dough so the top is
greased as well. Cover with a towel dampened with hot
water. Set in a warm, draft free place to rise until
doubled in bulk, about 4-6 hours.

Punch down the dough and knead for about 5 minutes.
Shape into one large round loaf and decorate the top
with walnut halves. Set aside to rise once more,
about 2 hours (uncovered). Bake in a preheated 350 F
oven for 1 hour.

Fried Ice Cream4

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Frozen (Topc 6)

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1 Quart Vanilla Ice Cream
3 Cups Corn Flakes — finely crushed
1 Teaspoon Cinnamon
3 Egg Whites
Oil — for deep frying
1 Cup Whipped Cream
1/2 Cup Honey
8 Maraschino Cherries

Scoop ice cream into 8 balls, using about 1/2 cup per ball. Freeze until
firm, about 1 hour.

In shallow dish, combine crumbs and cinnamon. In another shallow dish,
beat egg whites until foamy. Roll ice cream balls in egg whites, then
crumb mixture, covering ice cream completely to avoid leakage during
frying. Roll in egg whites and crumbs a second time, if necessary to cover
completely. Freeze until firm, 3 to 4 hours.

In deep fryer or heavy saucepan, heat oil to 375. Using basket or slotted
spoon, fry ice cream balls 1 or 2 at a time for 10 to 15 seconds or until
golden brown. Drain quickly on paper towels. Return to freezer while
frying remaining ice cream balls. Serve immediately with whipped cream,
honey and cherries.

Makes 8 servings.

Posters comment: I’ve made these and they are good, but not exactly like
you get in a restaurant. My favorite restaurant ones seem to have like
Rice Krispies in the coating too. I’d add more cinnamon too.
