Baked Portabella Mushroom Mozzarella

Recipe By : Hanneman
Serving Size : 2 Preparation Time :0:30
Categories : 4Star

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
4 1/2 ounces Portabella mushroom slices
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil — or less
1 tablespoon toasted wheat germ
2 2/3 ounces Pasta Zesta®
water to cook pasta
1 cup chunky tomato sauce
with onion, celery, green bell pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic
1/4 teaspoon basil
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1 pinch red pepper flakes
3 ounces mozzarella cheese, part skim milk
(healthy choice)
chopped parsley — garnish

The idea = substitute portabella mushroom for the meat in a favorite
Italian recipe.
This served 2 easily and would have served 3. Pre-warm/cook
everything, assemble it in a casserole, top with mozzarella and bake it
about 15 minutes.
PastaZesta is a new product for us. It’s a spaghetti, homemade, dried,
flat like soba, made of durum wheat, flavored with various – we chose tomato
and basil. No eggs! Very light and flavorful. Cooks in 3 minutes. It
comes in a tan 8-oz box and was near the bottled sauces. We recommend it.
Made in Canada.

STEP #1 Using a micro-wave proof dish, like a pyrex measure, combine the
tomato sauce, garlic, basil, oregano and red pepper flakes. Zap at 100% for
about 2 minutes (700 watts). Stir and let stand.

MEANWHILE prepare the pasta.

STEP #2 Heat oil in skillet. Press some (what you can) wheat germ into the
slices of mushroom and saute over medium-high heat, turning once, about 1
1/2 to 2 minutes per side. Remove from heat.

STEP #3 Set oven temperature to 375oF. Place drained pasta in a shallow
casserole. Pour half the sauce on top and spread. Season with pepper (a
little salt). Sprinkle on remaining wheat germ, especially along the outer
edge where it will catch the sauce. Layer the mushroom slices on top of
that. Pour on the remaining sauce. Top with cheese. Top with parsley.
Bake about 15 minutes until cheese is melted and beginning to brown.

Nice served with asparagus.

Title: Honey Cookies (Melomakarona)
Categories: Cookies, Greek
Yield: 60 servings

1 c Butter
3/4 c Caster sugar
3/4 c Maize or peanut oil
1 Orange; grated rind only
6 c Plain flour
4 ts Baking powder
3/4 c Orange juice
——————–
——–nut filling — €
(optional)———
——————-
1 tb Honey
2 ts Orange juice
1 1/2 ts Ground cinnamon
1 1/2 c Finely chopped walnuts
2 dr Almond essence
——————–
————-honey — €
Syrup————–
——————-
1 c Sugar
1 c Water
1/2 Cinnamon stick
1 1/2 ts Lemon juice
1 Thin strip of lemon rind
1/4 c Honey

Oven temperature: 180 C (350 F)

Beat butter and sugar with orange rind until creamy. Gradually add oil
and continue beating until mixture is very light and fluffy. Stir in
flour alternately with orange juice. Knead dough lightly with hands for
1
minute.

Take a scant tablespoon of dough and flatten it a little. Place a
teaspoon of the nut filling in the centre and fold dough over to enclose
filling.

Shape into ovals, pinching ends to a point. Decorate tops with tines of
fork or by crimping cookies diagonally across top in four rows with
special crimper (see NOTE), or leave them plain.

Place on lightly greased baking trays and bake in a moderate oven for
20-25 minutes until golden brown. Cool on wire racks.

Dip in boiling syrup, four at a time, turning cookies once. Leave in
syrup 10 seconds in all, longer if well-soaked cookies are preferred.
Lift out onto a plate and leave until cool.

(If no nut filling is used, sprinkle tops with crushed walnuts or
toasted
sesame seeds and cinnamon. Only those which are to be served should be
dipped; store remainder in an airtight container and dip when required.

TO MAKE NUT FILLING: Thin honey down with orange juice and blend into
remaining ingredients.

TO MAKE HONEY SYRUP: Place ingredients in a heavy-based saucepan and
stir
over heat until sugar dissolves. Bring to the boil and boil over
moderately high heat for 10 minutes and skim. Let syrup boil on a
moderate heat while dipping cookies. Add a little water to syrup when
it
thickens too much during dipping.

NOTE: Icing crimpers will be familiar to many pastrycooks and cake
decorators who work with icing. If you don’t own a crimper (or have
never
seen one), have the family handyman cut a piece of tin or aluminium
plate
about 2.5 x 10 cm (1 x 4 inches). Bend metal in half over a thin rod
and
cut 6 to 8 evenly spaced saw-like teeth on the narrow edges. Curl the
“teeth” slightly inwards.
