Saffron Rice with Seafood

Recipe By : Joyce Goldstein: Mediterranean Cooking
Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Volume 13-03 Mar 2010

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
6 cups fish stock
or half water and half bottled clam juice
1/4 cup olive oil
3 garlic cloves -- minced
1 yellow onion -- minced
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 cup peeled seeded diced tomatoes -- (6 oz/185 g)
or 3 tablespoons tomato paste
1 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon saffron threads -- crushed and steeped in
2 tablespoons stock or water -- (2 to 3)
2 cups short-grain white Spanish rice
or Arborio rice -- (14 ounces)
1/2 pound monkfish
or other firm white fish fillets
cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 pound shrimp -- (prawns) peeled and deveined
1 1/2 pounds mussels -- debearded and well scrubbed
2 red bell peppers -- (capsicums) roasted and peeled
then cut into long strips 1/4 inch wide

Pour the stock or water and clam juice into a saucepan and bring to a
simmer.

In a large sauté pan (or a paella pan, if you have one) over medium heat,
warm the olive oil. Add the garlic, onion and salt and pepper to taste and
sauté, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes or
tomato paste, paprika and saffron and its soaking liquid. Cook, stirring,
for 3-4 minutes. Add the rice and mix well with the oil. Pour in 5 cups of
the hot stock, reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, until the rice
is half-cooked, about 10 minutes. Add the remaining 1 cup stock and the
fish pieces, shrimp and mussels (discard any that do not close tightly when
touched) and sprinkle with salt. Cook, uncovered, for 10 minutes longer.
Taste and adjust the seasonings.

Arrange the mussels (discard any that did not open) and the roasted pepper
strips on top of the rice. Cover and leave on the stove top over very low
heat for 5 - 10 minutes to allow all the stock to be fully absorbed. Serve
hot.

Serves 4.

paella is eaten along the Mediterranean coast of Spain. Some recipes call
for adding pieces of cooked chorizo sausage and cooked artichokes or
asparagus with the fish."

Seitan aka Wheat Meat or Gluten Steaks

Recipe By :
Serving Size :   Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Volume 13-03 Mar 2010

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/2 cup water or broth
1/2 cup Vital Wheat Gluten
[like you use in baking]

This was popular in the 30s when there just may not have been a way to
buy meat. Today it is much easier than the rinse flour method. I
firmly believe in not working too hard if you don't have to when
cooking.

Seitan [the easy way] This makes 2 large or 4 small servings.
Note -you can multiply this without a problem. I make large batches and
freeze.

Mix. Pound [knead.. I like pound. It works out aggression] for about
5 minutes. You can simply walk around the house with the ball in your
hand squeezing. It should be that firm when you are done mixing. DO
NOT LET THIS RISE. It creates a strange texture for me when it does.

You now have raw seitan. That simple and a LOT cheaper than the store.

To cook:

Slice to desired sizes.

You have to cook. Don't freeze raw seitan however you can freeze all
other cooked types without a problem. Simply freeze in the broth you
cooked it in. You can pour straight from the cooled pot into the bags
or container.

If stove top fill a big pot with something like the Chicken broth
recipe I provided or even Chicken or Beef broth or any other type of
great tasting broth. Put it in cold and heat to boiling. Reduce to
simmer. Don't add the raw to boiling broth. When it is done the
Seitan will rise to the surface and float. I generally cook it until
it is reduced to half the broth or less and then simply freeze via
containers or freezer bags.

If you want to vary the flavor of the broth or seitan, there are lots
of good recipes out there. The Post Punk Kitchen on the net has a
recipe for seitan that is praised highly on the Internet. Some say it
tastes like Pepperoni. It's called the Seitan O'Greatness.
http://www.postpunkkitchen.com/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=303584
Same easy method but baked. I figure it can be stovetop too.

Other ways to cook the raw Seitan is indeed to bake it in the broth.
The results are said to be more 'chewy'. Considering how chewy mine
is when done, I'm not sure I would want more chewy.

Remember the ratio is 1:1 broth/water:Vital Wheat Gluten.

There is some confusion most of the time about Vital Wheat Gluten. It is
the stuff you find in the baking isle to add to bread to make the rise
better. In the USA it is sold in boxes or in bags. You can find it in a
good store with a good baking aisle. It is not high gluten flour. It is the
"pure" stuff. You do not have to rinse or fuss with it. Simply mix and off
you go. IF using the flour you MUST rinse and rinse and rinse and you get
the picture.

There are lots of ways to use this from Jambalaya to Mock Lamb curry to BBQ
wings to PA Dutch style pot pie to name a few.

The advantage? Unless your broth contains fat, there is none in the recipe
and it does have a nice protein content at about 31 grams to 4 ounces. Most
of us have eaten it if you eat at a Chinese restaurant and ordered Mock
Duck or Mock Chicken.

Note - pot should be a big pot. About the size of a stock pot. A large
saucepan if making large amounts will not work. AND the seitan WILL
get bigger. Those small bits you put in are going to be nice size
when you pull them out. Always over estimate.

Spaghetti Squash with Vegetables and Mozzarella

Recipe By :

Categories : Volume 13-03 Mar 2010

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 spaghetti squash -- cooked by
your favorite method and separated into strands
1 yellow onion -- diced
1 green bell pepper -- chopped
1 red bell pepper -- chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
28 ounces crushed tomatoes -- (1 can)
3 garlic cloves -- minced (3 to 5)
1 teaspoon basil
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper -- (optional)
1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 375 F.

Mix the cheeses together, set aside.

Heat olive oil in a skillet and add the onion, pepper and garlic. Sauté
over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Add crushed tomatoes, basil and
crushed red pepper (if using). Simmer uncovered for about 15 minutes. Mix
squash well with the cooked vegetables and put half in the bottom of a
large (13 x 9-inch) baking dish. Top with half the cheese mixture, followed
by the other half of the squash mixture, then the rest of the cheese. Bake
for 30 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and slightly browned. Let cool 10

This recipe makes a veggie rich, cheesy casserole, almost like a lasagna.
Spaghetti squash substitutes for the role traditionally taken by pasta in
such dishes for a delicious, lower calorie, low carb alternative.

Sunshine Applesauce (Zosha)

Recipe By : Deirdre Dee Cox
Serving Size : 24 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Volume 13-03 Mar 2010

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
9 pounds apples -- peeled, cored and diced
6 ounces orange juice concentrate
6 ounces water
6 tablespoons sugar
or 3 tablespoons fructose

Put everything in large (5 quart or larger crockpot), stir so that
everything is thoroughly mixed and cook on low for 9-10 hours.

When done, taste. If you would like more sugar add while the applesauce is
still hot. Mash with potato masher or if you like, puree in blender.

Makes about 6 pints. Pack in sterilized pint jars and process in hot water
bath for 15 minutes OR pack in freezer bags and freeze.

Original recipe: 20 apples, quartered, cored and washed
1 cup sugar
1 quart orange juice

Chop the apples fine (leaving the skins on) in a blender or food processor.
Put in a large non-reactive pot with the orange juice and cook until the
apples get mushy (about 20 minutes). Add 1 cup sugar or less, according to
taste. Pack in prepared pint jars. Process in a boiling water bath for 20
minutes. Makes 7 pints.

Description: "The orange juice helps to keep the apple color but the taste
stays in the background"

S(formatted for MasterCook): "by Deirdre Dee (zosha)"

Yield: "6 pints"

NOTES : This is my "basic" applesauce, it has a pretty color and has won me
several blue ribbons. I recently started making this in the crockpot which
has simplified my life considerably (put in on before I go to work, put it
into the fridge when I get home and process when I have the time.

If you want a more intense orange flavor then use a 12 oz can of condensed
orange juice and no water. For other flavor varieties try different flavors
of frozen juices such as cranberry (but not white grape juice).

To give as a gift tie a perky bow around the lid. I generally make an
assortment of Sunny, Rosy and Wake-the-Dead applesauces to give.

A blend of the following apples: Empire, Criterion, Cortland, Pippin,
Jonamac, Cameo, Granny Smith.

This has won First Place at various County Fairs and 2nd at the Wisconsin
State Fair.
