Lamb and Mustard Greens with Black-Eyed Peas and Rice (Turkey)

Recipe By : Mediterranean Grains and Greens by Paula Wolfert
Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Volume 10-05 May 2007

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 cup dried black-eyed peas
1/4 cup rice -- medium- or long-grain
2 bunches strong-flavored mustard greens
6 ounces lean ground lamb
2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup chopped onion
3/4 teaspoon tomato paste
3/4 teaspoon Turkish red pepper paste
Salt
1/4 teaspoon mildly hot red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 lemon wedges

1. Soak the black-eyed peas according to package directions. Drain, rinse
and cook in plenty of water until almost tender, 30 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, soak the rice in hot water for 10 minutes and drain. Wash the
greens in several changes of water; trim the stems. Chop tender stems and
greens coarsely to make 4 cups.

3. Place the meat and 1 tablespoon of the oil in a 4-quart casserole. Cover
and cook over medium-high heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Reduce
the heat to medium, add the onion, and continue cooking, covered, 2 minutes
more. Stir in the tomato and pepper pastes and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a
boil, cover and cook at a simmer for 20 minutes.

4. To the casserole, add the rice and the drained black-eyed peas. Simmer,
covered, for 5 minutes. Stir in the greens; continue cooking over medium
heat until the greens, rice and peas are all tender, about 10 minutes
longer. Remove from the heat and stir in salt to taste.

5. Heat the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons oil in a small skillet, add the hot
red pepper and black pepper and allow to sizzle gently. Immediately drizzle
over the bean mixture and stir to combine. Tip into a shallow serving dish
and serve warm with wedges of lemon.

In the southeastern part of Turkey, in the town of Urfa, where I found this
recipe, a unique smoky and slightly tart-flavored chili pepper is used to
season kofte, stuffed vegetables, pilafs, kebabs and stewed greens and
beans.

Developing this recipe, I discovered that a combination of Turkish red
pepper paste, smoky chili pepper such as chipotle or Spanish pimenton de la
Vera and black pepper simulated its special taste and stood up well to the
assertive flavor of mustard greens.

I suggest serving this dish as a starter on a warmed shallow platter along
with olives and cheese.

ChupaNote : my mom makes this with spinach (but you gotta have lamb!). If
you can't get the Turkish red pepper paste (www.kalyustan), use harissa or
chile paste. I doubled the paste and the pepper!!!! Serve yogurt on the
side to take the bite out!

Lentil Hummus with Pomegranate Molasses and Mint - 5 pts

Recipe By : Modified from The Gefilte Variations by Jayne Cohen
Serving Size : 10 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Volume 10-05 May 2007

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 cups Brown Lentils
1 teaspoon Salt -- To Taste
3 tablespoons Chopped Garlic -- Or To Taste
6 tablespoons Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
8 tablespoons Lemon Juice
5 tablespoons Pomegranate Molasses -- Or To Taste
1/3 cup Fresh Mint Leaves -- (About One Bunch)
Ground Black Pepper

1. Pick over the lentils carefully, and rinse well in cold water. Drain
and place in a medium saucepan. Add cold water to cover generously and
bring to a boil. Lower the heat and cook, covered, for about 20 minutes
or until very soft. About 5-10 minutes before done, add salt to taste (We
add 1 teaspoon.)

2. While the lentils cook, sauté the garlic in olive oil until just
tinged with pale gold (you want to eliminate the raw taste).

3. Drain the lentils, reserving the liquid. Add the other ingredients,
and process in a blender, food processor, or with a wand-style hand
blender. Process until smooth and creamy, and until the mint leaves are
finely chopped. Adjust the seasonings as needed (we sometimes need to
add salt, pepper, lemon juice, or pomegranate molasses depending on
what’s missing.)

4. Refrigerate over night to let the flavors blend, and adjust the
seasonings again.

5. Serve with pita chips, matzo chips, or crudités.

Makes 10 quarter-cup servings.

Yield: "2 1/2 cups"

NOTES : AuthorNote: You can get Pomegranate Molasses (sometimes
labeled as "Pomegranate Concentrate") at mideastern
groceries. We're currently using "Sadaf" brand. We’ve
tried this with red lentils, and they make a softer and
less flavorful dish. Haven’t tried this with French
lentils, black "beluga" lentils or Chana Dal.

Going thru my hummus files as I'm digitizing and rediscovered this
one. Made a great Christmas presentation last year. I used green
lentils and decorated with pomegranate seeds. As usual, I prefer
roasted minced garlic. It's a softer layer. I minced the mint
separately, and stirred it in at the end. The hummus was creamy, but
the mint still had texture. Pretty.

Low fat CrustLess Cheesecake - 3 pts

Recipe By : Stonyfield Farm
Serving Size : 12 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Volume 10-05 May 2007

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
32 ounces lowfat plain Stonyfield Farm Yogurt (to yield 2 cups of
Stonyfield Farm Yogurt cheese)
2 8 ounce -packages non-fat cream cheese
1 cup sugar
4 egg whites, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Using a yogurt cheese maker or layered cheesecloth, strain the whey
from one 32oz container of yogurt overnight to make yogurt cheese.

Preheat the oven to 300°F and place an oven safe dish containing warm
water on the lowest rack to provide steam.

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the nonfat cream cheese and
sugar. Fold in yogurt cheese, egg whites, flour and vanilla until well
combined. Pour into a non-stick spring form pan and bake on the
highest oven rack for one hour. Turn off the oven and allow the
cheesecake to cool for 30 minutes with the door ajar. Remove from oven
and chill for at least 2 hours before serving.

12 servings (Twelve servings! Who are they kidding! More like 8.)

Note: I make yogurt cheese by putting the yogurt in the top of a
ceramic Melita cone coffee filter and letting it drain overnight. If
you want to weight it, fill a zip lock bag with beans and place on top.
Next time, I'll add some vanilla beans to the cheese and yogurt
mixture. Maybe some honey.

Note: Yogurt DOES NOT taste like cream, butter, and cheese. But
next time I'll try some butter buds. It an OK substitute when you
must have Alfredo.

Low-Fat Chicken Bastillas - 4 pts

Recipe By : Cheryl Forberg for Cooking.com
Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Volume 10-05 May 2007

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3 cups fat-skimmed unsalted or reduced-sodium -- chicken broth
1 cup thickly sliced onion
2 cloves garlic -- peeled and minced
1 1/2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
1 1/2 teaspoons ground turmeric
1 teaspoon ground coriander
3/4 teaspoon hot chili flakes
1/8 teaspoon powdered saffron
1 1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 pound boned skinned chicken breasts, cut into
1/3 by 2-inch slices
4 large egg whites
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Salt
1/3 cup finely chopped almonds
1 1/2 Tablespoons powdered sugar
6 sheets filo dough Cooking oil spray -- (12 by 17 in.)
2 tablespoons red jalapeno jelly
1 tablespoon cornstarch

1. In a 3- to 4-quart pan over high heat, bring broth, onion, garlic,
ginger, turmeric, coriander, chili flakes, saffron, and 1/4 teaspoon
cinnamon to a boil.

Add chicken, cover, remove from heat, and let stand until no longer
pink in the center (cut to test), about 2 minutes. With a slotted
spoon, transfer chicken, but not onion, to a bowl.

2. In a small bowl, whisk 1/4 cup of the cooking broth with egg whites
just to blend. Place an 8- to 10-inch nonstick frying pan over medium
heat. Pour egg mixture into pan and, with a flexible spatula, scrape
from pan bottom just until softly set, 3 to 5 minutes.

3. With spatula, gently combine egg mixture and cilantro with chicken.
Season to taste with salt.

4. In another bowl, combine almonds, 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar, and
remaining teaspoon cinnamon.

5. Working quickly and keeping unused filo covered, lightly spray filo
sheets 1 at a time with oil; stack in pairs, making 3 stacks. Cut each
stack of fib dough crosswise into 3 equal parts; you'll have 9 stacks.
Lay 1 stack of 2 strips at right angles across another. With 6 more
stacks, make 3 more crosses; reserve remaining stack for other uses.

6. Using a slotted spoon, mound 1/4 of the chicken mixture onto center
of each cross (add any accumulated liquid to the cooking broth).
Sprinkle mounds equally with almond mixture. Gather filo strips up
over filling and gently squeeze and twist to enclose each bundle. Set
filo bundles well apart on an oiled 12- by 15-inch baking sheet.

7. Pull back tips of filo strips on each bundle to make "petals."
Lightly spray bundles with oil.

8. Bake bastilla pastries in a 4000 oven until golden brown, 15 to 18
minutes (10 to 12 minutes in a convection oven).

9. Meanwhile, boil broth mixture over high heat until reduced to 2
cups, 5 to 10 minutes. Pour through a fine strainer into a bowl;
discard residue. Rinse pan; return broth to it. Add jelly In a small
bowl, mix cornstarch with 1 tablespoon water. Set pan over high heat.
Add cornstarch mixture; whisk until boiling. Pour into a serving bowl.

10. With a wide spatula, transfer bastillas to plates. Dust with more
powdered sugar and accompany with sauce.

NOTES : As health editor for Cooking.com, Cheryl Forberg is
nutritionally vigilant in the kitchen. Once a private
chef-- for notables such as George Lucas of Star Wars--she
has earned a reputation for entrees that are both light
and extravagant. She often makes the Moroccan pie
bastilla. The individual servings, easily packaged in filo
dough, are finished with a twist. Traditionally the heart
of the pie is pigeon, eggs, nuts, a souk's worth of
spices, and butter. Forberg manages a lighter touch by
using poached chicken breasts and egg whites. A fine mist
of oil, not butter, makes the pastry flaky and crisp. The
lean, flavorful poaching broth becomes a smooth, sweet-hot
sauce.
