Title: KREPLACH W/ SEVERAL FILLINGS
Categories: Side dish, Pasta, Jewish
Yield: 5 servings

———————–NOODLE DOUGH———————–
1/2 ts Salt
2 Eggs; slightly beaten
2 c Flour; unsifted,(scant)
-OR- instead of making
-noodles, buy Won-Ton
-skins

———————-CHICKEN FILLING———————-
2 c Cooked chicken; minced
1 tb Onion; minced
1 Egg
Salt and pepper; to taste

——————-CHICKEN LIVER FILLING——————-
2 c Broiled chicken livers
2 Eggs; hard boiled
1 Onion; small minced
Salt and pepper
1 tb Schmaltz; chicken fat

———————–MEAT FILLING———————–
2 c MEAT; Cooked and ground
1 Egg
1 tb Onion; minced
Salt and pepper

———————-CHEESE FILLING———————-
2 c COTTAGE CHEESE; FARMERS, DRY
3 tb Matzo Meal; OR bread crumbs
1 Egg
2 tb Onion; minced
Salt and pepper

NOODLES: This is a lost art. may I add that I usually
use wonton skins and make life easy for myself; but
once in awhile….

1. Add salt to eggs, add eggs to flour. Mix with your
hands until the dough leaves the sides of the bowl. It
should be fairly stiff. Knead until dough is smooth
and elastic.

2. Roll out on a lightly floured board (or on a white
cloth). Roll and stretch until it is paper thin…well
very thin.

3. Cut into 3″ squares. Place one T of filling in
center of each square and fold to make a triangle.
Crimp edges with a fork and cook in boiling water. If
you have a pasta machine (or I sometimes use a Food
Processor) go for it.

4. Cook until they rise to the top; about 10 or 12
minutes. DO NOT COOK IN THE SOUP. You may warm them in
the soup.

FILLINGS. These days I zap all the ingredients for
each type of filing in the Food Processor, leaving the
eggs for last. For the cheese filling, you just want
to combine the ingredients.

NOTE: I would serve all but the cheese with Chicken
Noodle soup or as an appetizer or side dish.. The
Cheese Kreplach are usually served on the side (for a
dairy meal) with sour cream. Each of these recipes
makes about 30; figure at least 3 each

NOTES : In the introduction to the “As Life Unfurls” section, Molly O’Neil
wrote: “Delicate and changeable as they are, fiddleheads should not be
misconstrued as low maintenance. Their fibrous stems need to be snipped and
the tight fronds must then be soaked and soaked again to wash away the tawny
parchment shreds that protect each strand from the cold. The tight coils
then need to be cooked, most gently.”

SWISS FLAN

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 10 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Appetizers Swedish

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1 c Biscuit mix
3 tb Butter
1/4 c Light cream
FILLING:
1 Onion, large, sliced or
-chopped
2 tb Butter
2 Eggs, beaten
2 c Natural Gruyere cheese (1/2
-lb), shredded
1/4 ts Salt

PASTRY:

A Swiss cheese pie is called “flan.” The pastry for
this pie is sometimes closer to a rich biscuit dough,
but in other versions a short pastry may be used. The
word “flan” means different things in different
countries; In Spain it is plain cramel custard, in
France a fruit tart in pastry, in Switzerland a cheese
custard in pastry. And sometimes Swiss Flan is made
with onions and cheese in custard!

TO MAKE THE PASTRY, chop butter into the biscuit mix,
work in cream, and roll out on lightly floured board;
or press into a 9 inch pie plate, fluting the edges.
Chill while preparing filling.

FOR THE FILLING, cook onion in butter until golden;
cool slightly. Add eggs, cheese, and salt. Pour this
mixture into pastry, and bake in oven preheated to 425
degrees F. (very hot) for 15 minutes; then reduce heat
to 350 degrees F. (moderate) and continue baking 25 to
30 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center
comes out clean. Serve warm as a luncheon entree to 4
to 6 persons, or cut into small wedges for appetizers.
Makes 10 to 12 appetizers.

VARIATIONS: Instead of this pastry, regular pie crust
may be used. Or make pastry of 1 cup flour, 1 teaspoon
baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/3 cup butter, and
1 beaten egg. Do not attempt to roll out this
butter-rich pastry; press it with your fingers into
pie pan, fluting the edges.

COUNTRY CHUTNEY

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Canning Fruits
Relishes Vegetables

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1 1/4 lb Parsnips
1 lb Apples (3 md.)
-peeled, cored and sliced
1/2 lb Onions (2 md., abt. 1 cup)
-peeled and chopped
1/2 lb Ripe tomatoes (2 md.)
-peeled and finely chopped
— (about 1 cup)
1/2 ts Dried cracked ginger or
1 1″ piece dried whole ginger
1 t Mustard seed
2 1/4 c Cider vinegar
1 c Dark brown sugar — packed
1 c Dried currants (4 oz.)
— lightly packed
1/2 c Pitted dates (4 oz.)
— finely cut
1/4 c Crystallized ginger — packed
-finely diced (abt. 2 oz.)
1 t Table salt
1 lg Pinch cayenne

The author writes: “This relish is based on a
prize-winning English recipe of more than a generation
ago. It is less sweet than traditional chutneys; most
of its sweetness comes not from sugar, but from
apples, dates, and parsnips. I generally use Winesap
apples but any well-flavored, crisp eating apple will
do.”

Cook unpeeled parsnips 30 to 40 minutes in boiling
water, to cover, in a saucepan or skillet wide enough
to permit them to lie flat. They should be soft enough
to mash. When the parsnips can be pierced easily with
a fork, drain and cover with cold water until cool
enough to handle. Peel and mash.

Simmer the apple slices with 1/2 cup water in a
covered 1 1/2-quart saucepan for 12 to 15 minutes, or
until soft enough to mash. Do not drain.

Place the mashed parsnips and apples in a wide 4-quart
saucepan. Add onions and tomatoes; tie ginger and
mustard seed loosely in a double thickness of dampened
cheesecloth or place in a metal tea ball and add to
the pan, along with vinegar. Bring to boil over
medium heat and simmer slowly 1 hour, stirring
occasionally.

Add remaining ingredients and simmer 1 hour more, or
until thick. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
The chutney will darken considerably. Remove from heat
and spoon at once into hot, sterilized half-pint or
pint jars; seal. Store at least 1 month before
opening.

Yield: About 7 cups.
