lentil loaf

About a year ago someone (sorry–I forgot who) posted a recipe for a lentil
loaf. I liked it, but thought it was a bit mild, so I’ve tweaked it around
and now I think it’s great. It’s not too pretty, so probably best not
served to a potential SAD convert to FF, but I think ffers will love it.
Works well hot (dinner) or cold (lunch), and is really hearty.

2 c dry brown lentils, cooked in 6 c water with a bay leaf (about 45 min).
1 c dry bulgur wheat, cooked in 2 c water (about 15 min).
Preheat oven to 350.
In large bowl, mix cooked lentils, cooked bulgur, and all of the following:
–1 c soft bread crumbs
–2 egg whites or 1 egg substitute
–1/4-1/2 c catsup
–2 big onions, chopped
–6-8 cloves garlic, crushed
–lotsa thyme, oregano, tarragon. Some cumin, curry, pepper, garlic powder.
–1 regular-size (15 oz?) can tomato sauce
–1/4 c ff barbaque sauce
–next time I make it, I’m going to try adding some cooked carrots and
potatoes, and maybe some peas. Might add some nice color and textures.

Mix it all up and put it into a sprayed loaf pan, casserole dish, or
whatever. Bake for about 40 min. The oringinal recipe said to slice and
serve, but I find it comes out more of a scoop-and-serve consistency.

Title: Berry Syrup
Categories: Fruits, Canning
Yield: 9 half-pts.

Juices from fresh or frozen blueberries, cherries, grapes, raspberries
(black or red), and strawberries are easily made into toppings for use
on ice cream and pastries.

Yield: About 9 half-pints.

Procedure: Select 6-1/2 cups of fresh or frozen fruit of your choice.
Wash, cap, and stem fresh fruit and crush in a saucepan. Heat to boiling
and simmer until soft (5 to 10 minutes). Strain hot through a colander
and drain until cool enough to handle. Strain the collected juice
through a double layer of cheesecloth or jelly bag. Discard the dry
pulp. The yield of the pressed juice should be about 4-1/2 to 5 cups.
Combine the juice with 6-3/4 cups of sugar in a large saucepan, bring to
boil, and simmer 1 minute. To make a syrup with whole fruit pieces, save
1 or 2 cups of the fresh or frozen fruit, combine these with the sugar,
and simmer as in making regular syrup. Remove from heat, skim off foam,
and fill into clean half-pint or pint jars, leaving 1/2-inch headspace.
Adjust lids and process according to the recommendations in Table 1.

Table 1. Recommended process time for Berry Syrup in a boiling-water
canner.

Style of Pack: Hot. Jar Size: Half-pints or Pints.
Process Time at Altitudes of 0 – 1,000 ft: 10 min.
1,001 – 6,000 ft: 15 min.

Title: MARISCADA – BRAZILIAN FISH STEW
Categories: Fish, Brazilian
Yield: 10 servings

12 Clams
1 lb Mussels
2 tb Pure olive oil
1 Large onion, diced
2 Large ripe tomatoes, peeled,

Pinch of saffron threads
4 lb Fresh codfish fillets, cut
-into serving-size pieces
1 lb Jb shrimp, peeled, deveined

Clean the clams by scrubbing them thoroughly with a wire brush,
removing any beard or barnacles. Then place them in a large pot
with 1 gallon of water or enough to cover, and 1/3 cup salt. Allow
the clams to remain for 20 minutes during which time they will
expel the sand inside. Continue this process, changing the water at
least two more times. The mussels are cleaned in a similar manner,
but you must leave them in the water for at least 2 hours. Throw
away any clams or mussels that float or are not tightly closed.
Heat the olive oil in the bottom of a large, heavy saucepan over
medium heat. Add the onion, tomatoes, garlic, coriander, salt,
peppers, and saffron and cook, stirring, until the onions have
softened, but are not brown. Add the fish and shellfish to the onion
mixture. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to
low and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the shellfish open. Discard
any clams or mussels that do not open. Serve hot.

Title: PYI-GYI NGA KAZUN YWET (SQUID AND DANDELION S
Categories: Burma, Seafood
Yield: 4 servings

1 ts Dried red hot chili flakes
1 tb Fresh lemon juice
2 ts Soy sauce
1 ts Brown sugar
2 ts Corn OR peanut oil
1 Clove garlic, chopped fine
1 lb Fresh squids, dressed, cut
-into 1/2-inch round slices
1/4 lb Dandelion greens, green
-leaves only, halved

Watercress and Swiss chard are good substitutes for
dandelion since they all have a slightly bitter but
appealing taste.

1. Mix the chili flakes, lemon juice, soy sauce, and
sugar together. Let stand for 15 minutes.

2. Heat the oil in a wok or skillet and over moderate
heat fry the garlic for 1 minute. Add the squid
slices and stir fry for 2 minutes. Add the
chili/lemon mixture and continue to fry.

3. Add the dandelion greens and cook for 2 minutes
more. Do not overcook since it toughens the squid.

Serve warm with other dishes.

1 Cup Sour Cream
1/2 Tsp Grainy Dijon Mustard
1/2 Tsp Horseradish
1/4 Tsp Salt

Blend together and refrigerate. Will keep well if refrigerated. Make several
portions ahead. Once you start using it you will find many other foods it
compliments.

NOTES: This is a superb accompaniments to Grilled or Barbecued Salmon but
people love it with hamburgers and on baked potatoes. Since I introduced it it
is now the main sauce served with Salmon at the World Famous Painter’s Lodge
in Campbell River, British Columbia. The Salmon Fishing Capitol of the World.
