                         Caribe Pumpkin Fritters

Recipe By     :
Serving Size  : 12    Preparation Time :0:00
Categories    : Volume 6-10 Oct 2003

  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  1           1/2 cups  mashed pumpkin
     1/4           cup  sugar
     1/4      teaspoon  salt
  1           teaspoon  vanilla essence
  1           teaspoon  baking powder
  1            1/4 cup  milk
  1                cup  all-purpose flour
                        Oil -- for deep fat frying

Combine pumpkin, sugar (instead of adding sugar in the batter, it may be
sprinkled over hot fritters after cooking, as an option), salt, vanilla,
baking powder, milk and flour in a mixing bowl until ingredients are just
combined. Hand stir ingredients. Do not use an electric mixer and do not
over mix.

Drop by teaspoonfuls into hot oil and cook 1 to 2 minutes on each side.
Drain on paper towels.

As another option, fritters can also be cooked on a griddle, similar to a
pancake.

Serve fritters hot as a snack or side dish to a meal.

West Indian pumpkin, or calabash, varies from the North American Halloween
variety. In shape, it is usually more oval then round and in color, has a
greenish skin flecked with yellow or white blotches. The flesh inside is
mildly sweet to taste and yellow to orange in color. When West Indian
pumpkin is not available, use Hubbard or butternut squash in its place.

Yield: 12 fritters

NOTES : "While I was in college, my roommates and I loved the taste of ranch
dressing - it was our condiment of choice for almost everything," remembers
Kelly. " So I created these rich delectable crab enchiladas - with ranch
dressing mix as my secret ingredient."

Recipe By     :Sackville Girl
Serving Size  : 4     Preparation Time :0:00

  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  10            ounces  all-purpose flour
     5/8      teaspoon  salt
     1/3         ounce  fast-rising active dry yeast
     7/8           cup  water
  2        tablespoons  olive oil
                        
                        For the filling
  1 1/4                 red onion, finely chopped
  6                     mushrooms, sliced
  3             cloves  garlic, minced
  7          teaspoons  olive oil
  12                    black olives, pitted and chopped
  15                    cherry tomatoes
  1           teaspoon  dried oregano
  2          teaspoons  dried basil or 12 fresh basil leaves
  4             ounces  feta cheese (about 3/4 cup crumbled)
     1/3           cup  parmesan cheese
                        fresh ground black pepper
  1              large  egg, beaten with a splash of milk
     1/2           cup  tomato sauce

Sift the flour into a mixing bowl.  Stir in the salt and yeast, then
the warm water and olive oil. Mix as best you can, either with your
hands or with a dough hook attachment on your mixer, eventually
forming into a ball.

Dust a work surface with flour and knead the dough for several
minutes, until smooth and springy. Cover and leave in a warm place
for 30 minutes, while you prepare the filling.

Heat the oil in a frying pan and soften the onions, garlic and
mushrooms. Add the whole tomatoes, Oregano, dried basil (if using)
and chopped olives to the pan and cook for about five minutes,
stirring often, until the tomatoes are soft but whole.  Remove
from the heat.

Take out the risen dough and break into four pieces. Roll out one
section of the dough on a floured surface until you have a circle
about 20cm (about 8 inches) across.  It will be quite thin. Lay on
an oiled baking sheet and brush a 2cm (3/4 inch) border with egg.

Smear the rest of the dough with a spoonful of tomato sauce. Pile
a quarter of the filling on one half, plus a bit of both cheeses,
fresh basil (if using) and a grinding of pepper. Fold over the
unfilled half, press the edges and seal with a fork.

Brush the egg mixture over the top.

Repeat with the remaining pieces and then bake for 15 minutes at
400F, until puffed and golden.

                           Chili Verde Burritos

Recipe By     :Mike Rodman
Serving Size  : 0     Preparation Time :0:00
Categories    : Volume 6-10 Oct 2003

  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  3             pounds  lean pork, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  1 2/3            cup  chicken stock
     1/3           cup  liquid from coarse purée (see directions)
                        
                        Coarse purée:
  1              pound  tomatillos
  2             medium  onions
  3                     jalapenos, stems removed
  8             cloves  garlic
  2       4.5 oz. cans  chopped green chiles
  1        small bunch  cilantro, chopped
  1           teaspoon  ground cumin
                        
  10             large  tortillas

After cutting the pork, you’ll need to soften the tomatillos, so
they’ll purée easier. Peel off the outer leaf and discard; put in
boiling water for 3 minutes; drain in colander; then put tomatillos
in a bowl of cold water (to keep them from continuing to cook).

Separately pulse in a mini-food processor: the softened tomatillos,
onion, jalapenos and garlic. If you don’t have a food processor,
mince by hand.) Don’t liquefy any of the items -- just pulse it
enough to be finely chopped.

As you finish with each ingredient, put it in a mixing bowl. After
all four items have been chopped, add the canned chiles and cilantro.
Mix well and drain through a colander, catching the juices in
another bowl.

Save 1/3 cup of the juices that drain out and discard the rest.
Return coarse purée to its own mixing bowl and stir-in the cumin.

Brown pork in Dutch oven or stockpot (I use a 5-qt. cast-iron Dutch
oven that works great). Drain; return to pot and add chicken stock
and 1/3 cup of the purée liquid.

Simmer pork in liquid for 1 hour. (Can be made ahead, to this point.)

Add coarse purée and simmer for another 20 minutes. Serve in large
tortillas, using slotted spoon for filling and a regular spoon to
spread liquid on top.

As a side dish, either Mexican rice or refried beans are recommended.

  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
                        Aubergines:
  1 1/8         pounds  aubergines
  1               tsp.  salt
                        To Deep Fry:
     1/4         pound  rice flour -- (5/8 cup)
  2                     eggs -- beaten
     1/2         pound  potato or corn flour -- (1 1/4 cups)
  1               tsp.  five spice
  1              pinch  salt and white pepper
                        oil for deep frying
                        Stuffing:
  1                     garlic clove -- finely chopped
  2               tsp.  ginger -- finely chopped
  2               tsp.  five spice
  1               Tbsp  dried shrimps -- soaked in boiling
                        water
                        OR VEGETARIAN OPTION:
  1         tablespoon  use chopped chestnuts
     1/2         pound  minced pork (or vegetarian option use tofu
                        and shitake mushrooms)
  1                     spring onion -- finely chopped
  1               Tbsp  soy sauce
  1               tsp.  shaoshing wine or dry sherry
  1               tsp.  caster sugar
  1              pinch  salt and white pepper

Aubergine: Slice the aubergine width way into slices around 2 cm thick.
Make an incision in half way down the side of the slices and cut so as to 
create a pouch for the stuffing so as not to break through the flesh. Lay them 
on a tray and sprinkle them with salt, to remove some of the bitter juices. 
Set the slices aside while you prepared the stuffing.

Stuffing: Place the stuffing in a blender and process it until you have a smooth
mixture or finely chop all the ingredients and combine them together in a bowl
until well combined.

To Fill Aubergine: Pat dry the aubergine slice with paper toweling. Take
teaspoonful of the stuffing and carefully fill the pouches with the stuffing
(try not to break the flesh and don't overfill them).

To Cook: Heat oil in a wok or deep fryer to 180-190 C. Combine potato or corn
flour, five spice and salt and pepper in a bowl. Place the egg yolks in a
separate bowl and the rice flour in a third bowl. Toss the aubergine slices in
the rice flour, then coat them in egg and finely cover them well in the flour.

Deep-fry a few slices at a time in the preheated oil for 2-3 minutes turning them
over halfway through cooking, until they are crisp and golden brown. Remove the
aubergine from the oil and keep them warm while you cook the remaining slices.

To Serve: Distribute the slices among 4-6 plates and serve them with a small bowl
of soy sauce or with 50% soy sauce and 50% red wine vinegar combined.

If like me you are a big fan of aubergine tempura you will love this
dish, as the stuffing puts another dimension to them. This isn't a
vegetarian recipe but you could easily adjust the recipe by taking out
the dried prawn and pork mince and replacing them with finely chopped
chestnuts, tofu and shitake mushrooms or another vegetable.

  2               cups  chopped fresh spinach leaves
  2               cups  chopped fresh cilantro
     1/4           cup  flat leaf parsley
     1/4           cup  toasted shelled pumpkin seeds
  3         tablespoon  Parmesan Cheese
  1         tablespoon  chopped fresh oregano
  3             cloves  garlic
  1                     chipotle Chile in adobo sauce
  1         tablespoon  plus 1 teaspoon olive oil
  1         tablespoon  lime juice

In a food processor, combine the spinach, cilantro, parsley, pumpkin
seeds, cheese, oregano, garlic, and chile and pulse to blend. With
the motor running, add the olive oil and lime juice and process for
15 to 20 minutes, until blended. Scrape into a container, cover, and
refrigerate until ready to use. The pesto keeps for 3 or 4 days in
the refrigerator. Freezes great.

This goes well on top of some Mexican soups. Depending on the Chile,
adjust to your taste.

                       Chocolate Pumpkin Cheesecake

Recipe By     :
Serving Size  : 9     Preparation Time :0:00
Categories    : Volume 6-10 Oct 2003

  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
                        Crust
  1                cup  pecan pieces
  6                     chocolate fudge cookies
  1           teaspoon  butter -- melted
                        Chocolate Cheesecake
  8             ounces  semisweet chocolate
     1/4           cup  brewed coffee
     3/4         pound  cream cheese
     3/4           cup  granulated sugar
     1/2      teaspoon  salt
  3                     eggs
  1           teaspoon  vanilla
                        Pumpkin Cheesecake
  2          teaspoons  butter -- melted
  1              pound  cream cheese
     3/4           cup  granulated sugar
  2        tablespoons  flour
     1/2      teaspoon  salt
  3                     eggs
  1           teaspoon  vanilla
  1                cup  pumpkin puree
     1/4      teaspoon  cinnamon
     1/4      teaspoon  allspice
     1/8      teaspoon  cloves
                        Semisweet chocolate ganache
  1                cup  heavy cream
  2        tablespoons  butter
  2        tablespoons  granulated sugar
  12            ounces  semisweet chocolate

Preheat oven to 325º.  Toast the pecans on a baking sheet in a preheated oven
for 6 to 8 minutes.  Remove from the oven and allow to cool to room temperature.
Lower oven temperature to 300º.  In a food processor fitted with metal blade,
chop the cookies and pecans until they are crumbs (yield about 2 cups of
crumbs), about 20 to 30 seconds.  Set aside.

Coat the bottom of a 9x3" springform pan with 1 teaspoon melted butter.  Use
hands to press 1 cup of crumbs to a uniform level and thickness on the butter
bottom of pan.  Set aside.

To prepare the chocolate cheesecake, heat 1 inch of water in the bottom half
of a double boiler over medium-high heat.  Place the semisweet chocolate and
coffee in the top half of the double boiler.  Tightly cover the top with film
wrap and allow to heat for 6 to 8 minutes.  Remove from heat and stir until 
smooth.

Place 3/4 pound softened cream cheese, 3/4 cup sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt
in a bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle.  Beat on low for 1
minutes and on medium for 2 minutes.  Scrape down bowl.  Add 3 eggs, one
at a time, beating on high for 20 seconds and scraping down the bowl after
each addition.  Then beat the mixture for 1 minute more on high.  Add 1
teaspoon vanilla and beat on medium for 15 seconds.  Add the melted chocolate
mixture and beat on medium for 30 seconds.  Remove the bowl from the mixer.
Use a rubber spatula to finish mixing the batter until it is smooth and
thoroughly combined.  Pour cheese cake mixture into the prepared springform
pan, spreading evenly.  Keep at room temperature while preparing the pumpkin
cheesecake batter.

To prepare pumpkin cheesecake, coat the inside of a 9"x1 1/2" cake pan with 1
teaspoon butter.  Line the pan with an 8-inch square of parchment paper.  Coat
the parchment paper with the remaining teaspoon of butter.  Set aside until
needed.

Place 1 pound of cream cheese, 3/4 cup sugar, the flour, and 1/2 teaspoon salt
in the bowl of the electric mixer fitted with a paddle.  Bear on low for 1
minutes, and on medium for 2 minutes.  Scrape down bowl.  Add 3 eggs, one at
a time, beating on high for 20 seconds and scraping down bowl after each
addition.  Add 1 teaspoon vanilla and beat on medium for 15 seconds, then beat
on high for 2 more minutes.  Add the pumpkin puree, cinnamon, allspice, and the
cloves, then beat on medium for 30 seconds.  Remove the bowl from the mixer.
Use a rubber spatula to finish mixing the batter until it is smooth and
thoroughly combined.  Pour the pumpkin cheesecake mixture into the prepared
cake pan, spreading evenly.

Place a 9"x1 1/2" cake pan partially filled with 4 cups of hot water on the
bottom rack of the 300º oven (the bottom rack should be at least 3 inches
below the center rack).  Place both cheesecakes on the center rack  of the
oven and bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes, until the internal temperature of
the cheesecake is 170º.  Turn off the oven and allow the cheesecakes to
remain in the oven for an additional 20 minutes.  Remove from the oven and
cool at room temperature for 20 minutes.  Refrigerate the chocolate cheesecake
for one hour, but keep the pumpkin cheesecake at room temperature.  (Do not
remove either cake from pan.)

To prepare the ganache, heat the cream, butter, and sugar in a 2 1/2 quart
saucepan over medium high heat.  When hot, stir to dissolve the sugar.  Bring
the mixture to a boil.  Place the chocolate in a stainless steel bowl.  Pour
the boiling cream over the chocolate and allow to stand for 5 minutes.  Stir
until smooth.  Allow to cool to room temperature.

Pour one cup of the semisweet chocolate ganache over the top of the chilled
chocolate cheesecake.  Spread evenly over the top of the cake.  Invert the
pumpkin cheesecake onto the layer of ganache.  Gently press down on the cake
to set in place.  Wrap the entire springform pan with film wrap and refrigerate 
for 3 hours.

The cheesecake can now be released from the springform pan.  Remove film wrap
and wrap a damp, hot towel around the sides of the pan (the towel should be
large enough to wrap around and cover the sides of the pan) and hold around the
pan for one minute.  Carefully release and remove the springform pan.  Using a
cake spatula, smooth the sides of the cake with 2 to 3 tablespoons of the
ganache.  Spread the remaining ganache evenly over the top of the cake, coating
evenly.  Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before cutting and serving. Heat
the blade of a serrated slicer under hot water before cutting and run it under
hot water after making each slice.

NOTES : For decorations, use pecan, cookie pieces also on top of the cake
approximately 2 inches around the edge of the cake.  Evenly space who pecan
pieces on top of the edging.  In the center of the top place chocolate leaves.

         Cream Of Butternut Squash Soup With Pumpkin Seed Garnish

Recipe By     :
Serving Size  : 8     Preparation Time :0:00
Categories    : Volume 6-10 Oct 2003

  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  3        tablespoons  butter
  1              small  yellow onion; chopped
  1              stalk  celery; chopped
  2                     carrots; peeled and chopped
  1              large  butternut squash; peeled seeded and cubed
  2                     russet potatoes; peeled and cubed
  2             quarts  chicken stock, unsalted homemade or good
                        quality
  1                     bay leaf
  2          teaspoons  salt
  1         tablespoon  sugar
     1/4      teaspoon  nutmeg
  1                cup  light cream
  8        tablespoons  toasted pumpkin seeds (see below)

Melt butter in a heavy-bottomed stock pot. Add the onion, celery,
and carrots. Stir over medium heat until the carrots soften a bit
and the onion is translucent. Add the butternut squash, potatoes and
the chicken stock and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat and
cover partially. Add the bay leaf and allow to simmer for 45 minutes
to 1 hour, or until the squash is very soft. Remove from heat and
puree the solids with the liquid in a blender or a food processor
until smooth and creamy. Add salt, sugar, nutmeg and cream and stir
to combine.

Toasted Pumpkin Seeds:

If you have a heavy cast iron frying pan, warm over medium-high heat
for about 15-20 seconds before adding the pumpkin seeds. This does
not need any oil. As a matter of fact, the nutty crispness of the
seeds comes out better in this method than if they were fried in
oil, not to mention the calories that you would be consuming. If you
don't have a cast iron pan, place the seeds on a cookie sheet in a
preheated 350F oven and bake for 4-6 minutes of until they are
toasty.
