Title: BILTONG (BEEF JERKY)
Categories: African, Snacks
Yield: 4 servings

Salting mixture: 1 lb salt 2 oz sugar 1 oz saltpeter
pepper and chili spices –
to taste

As you travel around East Africa you will see countless Africans
selling food along the roadsides, in the markets, or through bus and
train windows. They sell fruit, boiled eggs grilled maize, boiled
maize, yogurt, milk, soda pop, fried dough balls, samosas, yellow
buns, and real seasonal delicacies like roasted mice and termites.
The following are a few East African snack foods you can try.

“Beef Jerky” is more common in South Africa but still a part of the
East African diet. It is generally made from beef, but other game is
used when available. Cut strips of meat following the grain of
muscle. Make strips 2 inches wide and 1 inch thick. Best made during
cool dry weather if possible.

Salt the meat by rubbing the mixture in well and leave in the basin
of salt mixture overnight. Dip a cloth in vinegar, wring dry and
whip the meat well.

Hang the strips of meat in a cool, dry, well ventilated place until
dry.

You can also hang the meat on an oven rack placed in the top slot of
the oven. Dry the meat on low heat.

Vegetable Terrine

Recipe By : James Beard Celebration Cookbook/tpogue@idsonline.com
Serving Size : 8 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Vegetable All Appetizers

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
3 whole egg
1 cup milk
1/2 cup flour
2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons onion — chopped
20 ounces frozen spinach (2 packs) — squeezed dry
12 ounces carrot — peeled
12 ounces cauliflower
butter for greasing loaf pan

Preheat oven to 400F

In a blender or processor, combine eggs, milk flour, and salt and process
until smooth. Reserve. Melt butter in a medium skillet over moderate heat.
Add onion and cook, stirring, until softened. Remove from heat, and stir in
spinach and about a third of the reserved batter. Reserve. Bring a medium pan
of water to a boil and cook whole carrots for about 6 minutes, depending on
thier thickness, until tender but still crisp. With a slotted spoon, remove to
a plate and allow to cool. Add cauliflower florets to the water and cook for
about 3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and allow to cool slightly.
Butter a 2 quart loaf pan, then butter a piece of aluminum foil large enouigh
to line it with a slight overhang. Line the pan with the foil, fitting it inot
the corners and allowing it to hang over the edges. Place half the
cauliflower in the base of the pan and pour over half of the remaining batter.
Next, spread half of spincach mixture over the cauliflower in an even layer.
Lay the carrots next to each other lengthwise in the pan. Spread the remaining
spinach over the carrots, then the remaining cauliflower, and press down
gently. Pour over the remaining batter. Butter a piece of aluminum foil large
enough to cover the pan. Place over the vegetables, seal with the overhanging
foil, and gently press down the foil. Place pan in a larger roasting pan and
place in oven. Pour enough boiling water into the larger pan so that it
reaches about halfway up the sides of the loaf pan. Bake for 1 hour. Remove
from the oven and remove loaf pan from the water. Allow to cool for at least
an hour. Remove foil from the top and invert on a plate. Carefully peel off
the foil and cut across into 1 inch slices.

Vanilla Sugar 2

Recipe By : Gizmowidge
Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Kitmail18 Miscellaneous

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
4 plump moist vanilla beans
4 cups sugar

Flatten the vanilla beans and cut them in half lengthwise. With
a small spoon, scrape out the seeds and place them in a small bowl; reserve
the seeds for another use. Combine
the pods and the sugar in a jar. Cover securely and set aside
at room temperature for several days to scent and flavor the
sugar. Use in place of regular sugar when preparing desserts.
Vanilla sugar can be stored indefinitely. As the sugar is used,
replace with new sugar. (When baking, I return rinsed and
thoroughly dried pods to the sugar mixture as an added boost.)
