                 Beef Stew With Lentils Out Of Leftovers

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

  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  1                     steak -- prepared as for
                        chicken-fried steak
  3                     carrots -- chopped coarsely
  2             stalks  celery -- finely diced
     1/2         large  yellow onion -- medium dice
  1                cup  lentils -- (green)

Last week I'd cooked 3 chicken-fried steaks and had one large one that
wouldn't fit the skillet. Rather than finish frying it too, I just rolled
it up (raw) in more flour and waited till next day to cook it.

Didn't fry it as thoroughly as I would have if serving as CFS, just seared
off until the egg and flour crust had more or less set. Cut it into small
cubes and put into a stew pot along with seasonings as you prefer (the meat
has been pre-seasoned and the batter is going to 'melt' into gravy in the
pot, so taste test before you add too much salt.)

Cook over medium-high heat until the meat is very tender, lentils are
cooked and the breading has turned into thickening right in the stew. At
the end, right before serving, I added 1 cup thinly sliced (cooked)
potatoes which added a little more thickening action also.

Once everything was in the stew pot, it took about 45 minutes to cook and
it tasted like it was an 'all day' cooking stew!

To make the chicken fried steak originally: use texturized round steak and
coat with seasoned flour (your choice of seasonings) then dip into beaten
egg and back into the flour. Fry in enough oil to coat 1/2 up the sides,
turning to cook the other side. Traditionally, make cream gravy out of the
pan drippings also, but for the stew, I let the crust turn into gravy all
by itself.

Oops, I forgot to mention that when the meat and vegetables, lentils, etc
go to the stew pot, you'll want to cover with water. Either just barely
cover the food with liquid and watch closely, or add enough water to cover
2 - 3 times food volume and let it cook down.

A beef or vegetable stock would add nicely to this recipe instead of water.

  8             ounces  water
  1              large  egg
  1 1/4      teaspoons  salt
  1         tablespoon  sugar
  3             ounces  Asiago cheese
                        [1 cup lightly packed, finely shredded]
  1              ounce  Romano cheese -- or Parmesan
                        [generous 1/3 cup]
     1/2           cup  yellow cornmeal
  2 3/4           cups  bread flour -- or unbleached flour
  2          teaspoons  active dry yeast

Place all ingredients in pan of bread machine in order listed, or in the
order recommended for your machine. Set controls for Basic bread with
medium crust and start machine.

Makes one 1-1/2 pound loaf.

I created this bread in response to a recent request on this list, and also
because I wanted to make a cheese bread using some of the excellent Asiago
cheese that we sell at our food co-op. This bread has an *absolutely
wonderful* aroma while it's baking. I've made it twice and it has already
become my husband's new all-time favorite bread. It's definitely worth the
extra effort to use freshly grated cheeses. The cornmeal adds some body and
helps make a crisper crust, but if you can't eat corn, leave it out and add
more flour (start with 1/4 cup flour and add more if needed).

  2          teaspoons  active dry yeast

Place all ingredients in pan of bread machine in order listed, or in the

the cornmeal before adding it to the pan, to decrease clumping.) Set
controls for Basic bread with medium crust and start machine.

Makes one 1.5-pound loaf.

NOTE : This bread makes wonderful garlic toast. After cutting it, spray
very lightly with olive oil from your EcoPump, then sprinkle generously
with granulated garlic powder. Toast in oven until as brown as you like it.

(The rainforest-friendly EcoPump is a spray bottle that you fill half-way
with oil, then pump in air using the special top--like a bicycle pump--so
you get the benefits of a fine aerosol mist without any chemicals. If you
can't find one where you live, contact California Olive Oil Corp., 134
Canal Street, Salem, MA 01970  Tel. 508-745-7840; Fax 508-744-3492. I'm not
related to this company in any way--but I have three EcoPumps and use them
every day.)

NOTES : Here is an updated version of the Asiago Cheese Bread I posted to
this list several months ago. The original version had an egg but no oil; I
like the flavor of this version better. I have also recently tried
replacing 1 cup of the bread flour with Gold-n-White flour, which has all
the wheat germ of whole wheat flour but not the bran. (I added 1 tablespoon
of gluten flour along with the Gold-n-White.) This flour added another
layer of flavor to the bread which I liked very much.

                            Bratwurst and Rice

Recipe By     : Hallie
Serving Size  : 6     Preparation Time :0:00
Categories    : Volume 7-11 Nov 2004

  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  6               cups  cooked rice -- (any type)
  12                    dried prunes
  1                     tart apple -- peeled and diced
     1/4           cup  sherry -- medium or sweet
  6                     bratwurst
                        Oil -- for frying
  3              small  onions -- (or more) sliced
  2                     roasted red peppers -- chopped
                        [you can do your own but mine
                        were from a jar]
     1/2           cup  stuffed olives
  2          teaspoons  minced garlic -- fresh or bottled
                        Hot pepper sauce -- to taste
                        Salt -- to taste

Put the prunes and apples into a jar or sealable plastic bag with the
sherry. Tip it or shake it several times to make sure the sherry is
thoroughly distributed and all the pieces of apple are coated with it. Set
aside while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.

Put the bratwurst into a saucepan with a little water and let simmer for a
few minutes while you are slicing the onions and chopping the peppers.

Heat a large frying pan; add a little oil - you won't need much.
Toss in the sliced onions and stir around until they start to turn a bit
translucent. Add the peppers, olives, garlic, hot sauce and salt; stir to
mix well.

Remove the bratwurst from the water and add to the mixture in the frying
pan. Cook and stir for a minute or so then add the sherried apples and
prunes (along with the sherry). Stir to heat through.

Place some cooked rice on a plate. Put a bratwurst beside the rice then a
good spoonful of the vegetable mixture over the rice.

Makes 6 servings (or less if you are hungry).

In a dish like this of course, all ingredient measures are approximate and
the seasoning is to taste. I used a sweet sherry because that was the
bottle that came to hand first when I reached into the cupboard and it
worked well to contrast with the hot pepper sauce (I never stint on that)
and the saltiness of the bratwurst. You could probably substitute raisins
for the prunes if that's what you have but the prunes were especially nice.

                        Brining Turkey a la Martha

Recipe By     :
Serving Size  : 10    Preparation Time :0:00
Categories    : Volume 7-11 Nov 2004

  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  1             gallon  water
  1              pound  kosher salt
  1           teaspoon  ground ginger
  1           teaspoon  ground cloves
  1              whole  peppercorns -- (1 handful)
  12                    bay leaves
  24            ounces  maple syrup
  24            ounces  honey
  10            pounds  turkey
                        Compound butter -- (see directions)
                        Celery
                        Apple
                        Onion
                        Garlic

Bring the water, salt, ginger, cloves, peppercorns and bay leaves to a boil
then reduce to a simmer.

Add the maple syrup and honey; stir until well mixed; set aside to cool.

When the mixture is cool put the turkey into it and soak for 4 hours to
overnight in the refrigerator.

Remove and put compound butter (soft butter with sage and poultry
seasoning) under the skin on the breast. Pack the cavity with hunks of
celery, apple, onion and garlic. Roast uncovered 2 1/2 hours or until the
breast tests 165 F.

HINT : I used whole cloves and Jamacian allspice berries because that was
what I had. Next time definitely go with the ground spices because I spent
30 minutes picking cloves off the turkey.

Brining was a huge hit and I'll definitely be doing it again. Next time,
use a big plastic bag though!
