This is the simplest way of cooking Persian rice.
1. Pick over and wash 3 cups of rice 5 times in warm water.

disturbing the bottom crust, place the rice on a serving platter. Mound rice

Title: Cooling Jars
Categories: Canning, Information
Yield: 1 guide

When you remove hot jars from a canner, do not retighten their jar lids.
Retightening of hot lids may cut through the gasket and cause seal
failures. Cool the jars at room temperature for 12 to 24 hours. Jars may
be cooled on racks or towels to minimize heat damage to counters (Plate
1). The food level and liquid volume of raw-packed jars will be
noticeably lower after cooling. Air is exhausted during processing and
food shrinks. If a jar loses excessive liquid during processing, do not
open it to add more liquid. Check for sealed lids. For more information
see “Testing Jars Seals”.

Lemon Pudding Cake From Moosewood

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Desserts Low-Fat
Cakes

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1/2 c all-purpose flour — unbleached
-prefer pastry flour
1/2 ts Baking powder
1 1/4 c Sugar — or more to taste
1 1/2 c Buttermilk
1/2 c Fresh lemon juice — about 4 lemons

2 Egg yolks — lightly beaten
2 ts Lemon zest — optional
4 Egg whites
–pinch of salt

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Prepare six 8-ounce ramekins or ovenproof dessert cups with a very
light coating of cooking spray or oil. Place the cups in a
2-inch-deep baking pan. Begin to heat a kettle of water to a boil.

In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and 3/4 cup of the
sugar. (If you want a very sweet confection, use a whole cup of
sugar.) Stir in the buttermilk, lemon juice, beaten egg yolks, and
the grated lemon peel, if using, and set aside.

With an electric mixer, beat the egg whites and salt until the whites
are stiff. Beat in the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar. Gently fold the
egg whites into the batter. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared
cups. Pour boiling water into the baking pan until the water reaches
halfway up the sides of the cups. Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, until
puffy and golden.

Title: BRUNCH SPUD BOATS
Categories: None
Yield: 6 servings

3 md Baking potatoes, scrubbed
No-stick cooking spray
2 tb Olive oil
3 oz Chopped lean ham or
-Canadian bacon
1/3 c Diced zucchini
1/3 c Diced red bell pepper
3 Green onions, with tops,
-sliced
6 Eggs, beaten
2 tb Grated Parmesan cheese
Salsa for serving

To make potato shells: Prick potatoes with a fork and
bake in a microwave oven on a plate on high (100
percent) 7 to 11 minutes, rotating after 3 minutes,
until tender when pierced with a knife. Or bake in a
conventional oven at 450 degrees 50 to 60 minutes.
They should be soft but firm enough to dice.

Preheat oven to broil. Cut potatoes in half lengthwise
and scoop out pulp, leaving a 1/2-inch shell. Dice
scooped-out potato. Spray both sides of potato shell
with cooking spray. Place right side up on a baking
sheet and broil until edges are browned and top is
slightly crisp but not dry, 3 to 4 minutes. (Shells
may be refrigerated overnight. Refrigerate cooked
potato separately. Bring both to room temperature
before filling.)

To make filling: Preheat oven to 500 degrees. In a
large skillet, preferably non-stick, over high heat,
heat 1 tablespoon of oil until hot. Saute potato pulp,
turning with a spatula until they begin to turn
golden, about 5 minutes, adding more oil if needed.
Stir in ham, zucchini and red pepper and saute,
stirring, until vegetables soften slightly, about 3
minutes. Add eggs, reduce heat to medium-low, and
cook, stirring lightly, until very loosely set. Stir
in green onions. Fill potato shells and sprinkle tops
with cheese, if desired. Place potatoes on baking
sheet and bake 5 minutes, or until eggs are set and
cheese melts. Serve with salsa, if desired.
