Into 3/4-inch cubes
Salt/freshly ground pepper
6 Garlic cloves; minced
4 mg Jalapenos; finely chopped

2 md Onion; finely chopped
1/2 c Commercial chili powder (see

3 tb Pure red mild chile powder

Green portions; thinly

1. In a small dry skillet, toast the cumin seeds over
moderate heat, stirring constantly, until fragrant,
about 2 minutes. Grind the cumin in a spice mill or a
mortar. 2. Heat a large enameled cast-iron casserole.
Season the brisket with salt and pepper. Working in
batches, add the meat to the casserole and cook over
moderately high heat until well-browned all over,
about 8 minutes. Transfer each batch to a large plate.
3. Add the garlic, jalapenos and onions to the
casserole and cook over moderate heat, stirring
occasionally, until softened, about 4 minutes. Add the
commercial chili powder and pure red chile powder,
coriander and half of the ground cumin and cook,
stirring, for 2 minutes. 4. Return the cooked brisket
to the casserole and add the beef stock, beer,
tomatoes and their liquid, and the oregano. Bring to
a boil over moderately high heat, then lower the heat
and simmer gently, stirring occasionally, for 3 hours.
Stir in the ground chuck, season with salt and cook
until the brisket is very tender and the sauce is
thickened, about 1 hour longer. Stir in the remaining
cumin and simmer for 15 minutes. Garnish with the
scallions and serve. Note: Rathern than the
commercial chili, you can use Reno Red Chili Mix,
available by mail order from Stewart’s Chili Company,

Hickory Smoked Vinasoy.

Makes 10 ounces. (The size of the bottle I use.)

1/4 cup soy sauce. I’ve used Kikkoman and Tamari. Either one.
1 cup apple cider vinegar. (Other vinegars OK. *Really* cheap balsamic
didn’t work well, though. Really good balsamic doesn’t need soy or smoke.)
1 tsp liquid smoke.

That’s it. The soy and vinegar smooth each other’s rough edges, and the
liquid smoke offers a good BBQ’ish flavor. When I’m using nutritional
yeast, I’ll pour a little vinasoy onto the yeast. Seems to work out well.

Title: Pyrizhky (Baked Turnovers)
Categories: Desserts, Christmas, Russian
Servings: 10

2 1/2 c Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
1/4 lb Butter; 1 Stick
1/2 c Sour Cream
3 lg Egg Yolks
1/2 ts Salt
1 lg Egg White; Beaten With A
-Little Water For Glazing
1/2 c Coarse Sugar Crystals;
-(Optional)

Combine the flour and cold butter in a processor or cut the butter with a
pastry cutter into coarse crumbs. Add the egg yolks, salt, and cream and
process or knead lightly until the dough forms a ball. Cut in half,
wrapping each have in plastic wrap, refigerate for at least 2 hours or
overnight. Roll out half the dough on a lightly floured work surface, to
about 1/4-inch thickness. Cut into rounds with a 3-inch cutter or wine
glass. Place a spoonful of the filling on one side of each round, fold
the top over, brush with a little of the egg glaze and seal with a fork or
pastry cutter for a fancy edge. Place each turnover on a lightly greased
or non-stick baking sheet and brush with the glaze then sprinkle with the
sugar crystals. Bake in a preheated 375 Degree F. oven for about 20
minutes. Cool on wire racks.

NOTE:

This is a short dough so a non-stick baking sheet would be the best. If
it is not available, brush as little grease on the sheet as possible using
a pastry brush or new paint brush.

BASIC RICE RECIPES
for those with allergies

Over 100,000 people are unable to eat foods from grains such as wheat,
barley, rye and oats; others may also react to millet and buckwheat.
This condition is known as Celiac Sprue Disease and is basically a
problem of malabsorption. The primary treatment calls for the omission
of any product that contains certain proteins, namely gluten.

Rice, a non-allergenic food, is ideal for the gluten-free diet, and is
suitable for most allergy diets. An added bonus is that it’s also fat,
sodium and cholesterol free. Rice comes in many forms including white
and brown rice, flours, rice bran and rice oil. It is also very
versatile; rice can be served as a snack at any meal as an appetizer,
entree or dessert.

If you are following a special allergy diet, remember to read labels
carefully. Ingredients often change from one product to another, and
even from batch to batch from the same manufacturer. If the label is
not clear, you can write or call the manufacturer (look on the label)
for specific ingredient information.

We hope you find these recipes, and the accompanying information
helpful. All of the recipes are wheat-free.

For those who are also sensitive to milk and eggs, suggestions for
substitutes are given on the following page.

************************************

When wheat and wheat flours are not used in baking recipes the final
product tends to be coarser and denser. Here are some hints for making
better foods, and some ingredient substitutions if you are also avoiding
milk and eggs.

SUGGESTIONS
==========

* Include brown rice flour and rice bran in soups, casseroles and baked
goods to add more fiber.

* Add dried fruits, nuts or chocolate chips to batters to improve
flavor and moisture-retaining qualities of baked goods.

* Bake gluten-free items in smaller sizes – like cupcakes, muffins, and
biscuits; bake quick breads in mini loaf pans for better texture.

SUBSTITUTIONS
=============

* Thicken sauces, gravies and cream pies with rice flour. Use the same
amount of rice flour as wheat flour. Whisk rice flour and liquid
together and heat over medium heat until bubbles first appear for a
smoother mixture.

* Combine dry cream of rice or dry crushed rice cereal with dried herbs
and spices to make a tasty breading for fish, meat, or poultry.

* Substitute _one_ of the following for each cup of wheat flour in
recipes:

7/8 cup brown or white rice flour (1 cup minus 2 Tbsp.)
5/8 cup potato flour (1/2 cup + 2 Tbsp.)
1 cup soy flour + 1/4 cup potato starch
1 cup corn flour
1 scant cup fine cornmeal

* Use Rice Dream or Amasake, pure rice liquids; or Eden Soy,
Lacto-Free, Tofu White (all contain soy); NutQuik (made from almonds)
to use in place of milk. Several infant formulas are made from a
base of soy or corn, check the labels to be sure they fit your needs.

* Replace milk with fruit or vegetable juices; and experiment with
yogurt; many people who are allergic to milk are able to tolerate
yogurt and other cultured dairy products.

* Add EggBeaters (found in the refrigerated egg section and in the
freezer case) or EggReplacer (free of egg, dairy, corn, soy and
gluten) a dried product, to replace eggs and lower fat and
cholesterol in recipes.

* Use buttermilk or yogurt in place of milk for lighter finer-textured
products.
