  1                     eggplant -- firm (1 lb.)

  1              large  tomato -- peeled and diced
  1              large  onion -- chopped fine
     1/2           cup  finely minced parsley

                           Martha's Fruit Mold

Recipe By     :

  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  2                     Mandarin oranges
  2             stalks  celery -- diced finely
     1/2           cup  pecan pieces
  1              large  Bartlett pear -- diced
                        [a big juicy pear]
  1                     red apple -- (also diced)
     1/2           can  cranberry sauce
  1              small  watermelon Jello -- (small pkg)

Spray the bundt pan with olive oil or coat lightly with an oil and
lay the mandarin orange sections in each 'scallop'. Top with the 
celery, pecan, pear and apple.

Slice the cranberry sauce into half-moon shapes and coat the top
with these. Also place one half moon in each of the larger 'scallops' 
along the Bundt pan sides. (At unmolding, these will fall out and 
look like the fruit mold is resting on them, looks nice.)

Prepare the watermelon Jello as per directions.  (Blend with 1 cup 
boiling water, add 1 cup cold water and pour over the fruit.) Chill 
several hours until set.

I don't like canned cranberry jelly (sauce), and hate to make them
from raw cranberries. The watermelon was just sharp enough to
mute the taste of the cranberries. You could add a lot more
ingredients and make a larger fruit mold, but I was unsure how it
was going to taste, as well as what it was going to do on
unmolding. But it turned out nice and very colorful!

--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  1                     brick  reduced fat White Wave tofu
  1                     onion -- sliced thin
  1           teaspoon  pressed garlic
  1                cup  water
  1           teaspoon  ginger
  1         tablespoon  cumin
  1         tablespoon  coriander
     1/2      teaspoon  clove
     1/4      teaspoon  methi (fenugreek)
  1           teaspoon  salt
  2          teaspoons  flour
                        [chickpea flour, besan]
  1            package  frozen green peas
  1                cup  ground tomatoes
                        or tomato puree
  1                     lemon -- juice only

Cut 1 brick tofu into cubes and bake in 300 degree F. oven while you
prepare sauce.

Sauté thinly sliced onions in your favorite medium saucepan until
browned. Add 1 teaspoon pressed garlic. Stir until distributed and then 
add water. Add 1 teaspoon ginger, 1 tablespoon cumin, 1 tablespoon 
coriander, 1/2 teaspoon clove, 1/4 teaspoon methi (fenugreek), 
1 teaspoon salt, to onion/garlic at last minute of sauté.

Mix 2 teaspoons gram flour (chickpea flour, besan) with enough water to
make a thin, smooth paste. Dribble in the chickpea flour mixture, while 
stirring. The sauce will thicken.

Add a family size package of frozen green peas to the sauce and cook
until hot again.

Add 1 cup of ground tomatoes or tomato puree and juice of one lemon;
stir, adjust seasonings. Add tofu and simmer until it absorbs some of the 
seasonings.  Add more water if necessary.

Serve with rice.

NOTES : Paneer is soft white 'farmer' cheese that is commonly used in
India. I substituted reduced-fat White Wave tofu, and it takes the
place of paneer very well. This takes about 1/2 hour to make.

  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  2             pounds  dried figs -- Turkish sun-dried
                        if possible
  1 1/2         pounds  sugar
  25            ounces  water
     1/2                lemon -- juice of
  1           teaspoon  ground aniseed
  3        tablespoons  pine nuts
     1/4         pound  walnuts -- chopped
     1/4      teaspoon  pulverized mastic*

Chop the figs roughly. Boil sugar and water with the lemon juice for a
few minutes, then add the figs and simmer gently until they are soft
and impregnated with the syrup, which should have thickened enough to
coat the back of a spoon.

Stir constantly to avoid burning. Add the aniseed, pine nuts and
walnuts. Simmer gently, stirring for a few minutes longer. Remove from
the heat and stir the mastic in very thoroughly. (To be properly
pulverized, it must have been pounded with sugar.) Pour into clean,
hot glass jars and seal as usual.

* Mastic is the resinous gum of Pistacia lentiscus and is sold in
Greek and Oriental stores.

                             Mild Feta Cheese

Recipe By     :
Serving Size  : 0     Preparation Time :0:00
Categories    : 

  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  1             gallon  milk
     1/4           cup  cheese culture
                        or buttermilk
     1/2      teaspoon  liquid rennet
     1/4           cup  cool water
                        Coarse salt

Warm milk to 86 degrees F and stir in cheese culture or buttermilk.
Set one hour to ripen. Mix rennet into cool water and stir into milk.
Cover and allow to set another hour to coagulate. Cut curds into
1/2-inch cubes and allow to rest five minutes. Stir gently for 15
minutes, keeping the curds at 86 degrees F.

Pour curds into a cheesecloth-lined colander, tie the bag of curds and
hang to drain for four to six hours. Slice the cheese ball in half and
lay the slabs of cheese into a dish that can be covered. Sprinkle all
the surfaces with coarse salt, cover and allow to set at room
temperature for 24 hours.

After 24 hours, salt all the surfaces with more coarse salt and let it
rest for two hours. Place the cheese in a covered dish and refrigerate
for five to seven days. Use within two weeks or freeze for future use.
The cheese will keep at room temperature for months if marinated in oil.

MARINATED FETA CHEESE
Mild feta cheese (stronger cheese may be used)
Jars with lids
Olive, canola or soybean oil

Your choice of herbs (use aromatic herbs for best flavor)
Cut or break the cheese into smaller pieces, about 1 to 1 1/2 inches.
Use a clean jar that has a tight-fitting lid. Layer the herbs first,
then the cheese. Repeat until the jar is full. Leave abut 1/2 inch of
space at the top. Pour oil over the cheese and herbs, filling the jar
until the mixture is completely covered with oil.

Place the marinated feta on a cupboard or shelf. Refrigeration is not
necessary as long as the cheese is completely covered with oil. Air
won't be able to get in, and the cheese won't mold. Enjoy it straight
out of the jar or crumble into your favorite salad. The cheese gets
better with age.

Some herbs to consider are rosemary, thyme, bay leaves, marjoram, sun-
dried tomatoes, garlic cloves, dried hot peppers, peppercorns, basil,
oregano or onions. My personal favorite combination is rosemary, basil
and garlic.
