      8 oz Red wine                       
 
  Contributed to the echo by: Debra Heng SPAGHETTI SAUCE WITH ITALIAN SAUSAGE
  
  In a dutch oven, brown the sausages well (still in their casings) in a
  little olive oil. Use tongs to remove sausage to top of pot lid. Drain off
  fat if necessary, leaving about 1 T in pot. Toss in onion, green pepper and
  garlic and stir to coat, scraping up the brown bits from bottom of pot. Let
  cook for about 2 minutes, just 'til the onion and pepper begin to soften
  (do not brown). Return sausage to pot and stir in tomatos or sauce, paste,
  sugar, wine, seasonings and Parmesan. Simmer for 45-60 minutes.
  
  Meanwhile, saute mushrooms in a dab of butter, dash of olive oil, sprinkle
  of marjoram or basil and paprika. Add the mushrooms and any juice in the
  pan to the saucepan during last 15 minutes of cooking. Add optional
  American cheese a few minutes before serving, let melt & stir in. This
  really mellows out the sauce.
  
  Tips: You can brown pork shoulder blades or spareribs along with the
  sausage. Gives a great flavor and provides a 2nd meat course if you're
  having company. Use more or less wine, depending on whether you're using
  whole tomatos or sauce. Just aim for a nice thick sauce. Leftovers make
  great sausage sandwiches. I freeze mine a lot for quick meals later.

  steaks from their fry-drippings and measure out 4 tbsp. of the fat. Dispose
  of the rest. Stir the sugar into the pan at LOW heat, stirring constantly,
  until the sugar dissolves. Add the coffee, and simmer until the gravy turns
  a rich brown (maybe 5 minutes or so). DO NOT ALLOW THE GRAVY TO BOIL! Pour
  the gravy over the ham and serve.
  
  (NOTE): If you're using uncooked slices of a salty, dry-cured ham, add a
  cup of water to the skillet along with the ham. The ham will absorb all the
  water by the time it's cooked through. Add more water if the original
  amount is absorbed too quickly.
  
  If you're using salt pork, or pork belly fat (like bacon, but unsmoked), be
  sure to blanch it before using. To blanch, cover with cold water, bring to
  a boil, simmer 3 minutes, then drain. Fry a little chunk, and if it's still
  too salty, blanch it again.

  as they are done. Discard all but 2 tablespoons oil, reduce heat to medium
  and replace skillet on the stove top. Add onion, carrot, celery and garlic
  and cook about 3 minutes. Sprinkle with flour and cook, stirring, another
  minute. Add the stock, tomato paste and bay leaves. Replace the chicken
  thighs and drumsticks in the casserole with any accumulated juices from the
  chicken. Cover and bring to a boil. Place the casserole in the oven. After
  15 minutes, add the reserved breasts and cook 20 minutes longer. Remove
  from the oven, remove the chicken from the casserole and set aside. Strain
  the sauce through a fine sieve and discard vegetables. Place bacon in
  another medium oven-proof pot on the stove over medium heat and cook,
  stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Pour off excess fat and add the
  mushrooms, brandy, milk, cream and braising sauce. Mix well. Arrange
  chicken pieces on the bacon-mushroom mixture, cover and place in the oven
  for 15 minutes or until bubbling hot. To serve, arrange the chicken pieces
  on a platter and spoon the bacon, mushrooms and sauce over the top and
  garnish with tarragon.

  DEFROST COOKED MEAT, if necessary. Cut the ends off the bread and cut each
  loaf in half the short way. Remove the center of the bread. (Save the white
  centers for breadcrumbs.) Set the hollow loaves aside. Arrange the bacon in
  a large skillet or fry pan and place over medium heat. Cook, turning once,
  until crisp. Remove the bacon, drain on paper towels and discard the fat in
  the pan. Replace the pan on the stove, add 2 tablespoons oil and the
  onions. Cover and cook until soft, about 7 minutes. Uncover, increase heat
  to high and cook, stirring often until onions begin to dry out and turn a
  light golden color, another 10 minutes or so. Remove from the heat, scrape
  the onions into a bowl and set aside. Stuff a cheese slice and a bacon
  rasher in each loaf of bread. Using the handle of a large wooden spoon,
  stuff in the meat and onions. Choose a skillet or roasting pan large enough
  to hold 4 sandwiches and choose a flat cover that is smaller than the pan.
  Heat half the remaining oil over low heat, place the sandwiches in the
  skillet with the cover on top of the sandwiches. Place a 2-pound weight on
  the cover and cook for about 5 minutes. Remove the cover, turn the
  sandwiches and add the remaining oil. Replace the cover and press down with
  the weights. Cook another 5 minutes. Remove the sandwiches from the heat
  and keep warm in a 250F oven while you cook the remaining 2 sandwiches. To
  serve, cut each sandwich in half, then diagonally cut each half into
  triangular pieces.

    1/2 ts Salt                           
 
  Heat oil in medium sized skillet, sear meat on all sides; place meat in
  Tender Cooker.  Add water, garlic, salt and pepper to skillet. Heat and
  scrape off any browned meat; pour mixture over meat. Arrange onion and
  potato on top of meat.  Place a single 7" circle of foil on top of food.
  Cover and add regulator guage, microwave on high 30 minutes. Let pressure
  indicator drop, remove cover. Remove meat and vegies, add flour mixed with
  a little water, stir, microwave, uncovered, stir once, to thicken juices.
  (a 400-500 w oven needs an increase of time of 6 min.)
  
  That is their recipe - I don't do any of the above.  My roast is usually
  one with a lot less fat in in (as little as I can manage when I cut a big
  piece of meat into roast, steak and stew meat) and is almost always still
  frozen and so I don't brown it first.  I put the meat and water in the
  cooker, cover and cook on high 20 minutes. When the indicator drops, I add
  potatoes, onion, carrots, and such seasoning as I want at the time, rinse
  the rubber ring, replace ring, recover (with pressure cap) and micro on
  high for 10 minutes. Let pressure drop, thicken juices and enjoy!

  chicken, secure wings and legs to chicken body with string. Combine
  browning sauce, water and bouillon.  Place chicken in Tender Cooker, pour
  water mixture over chicken, sprinkle with paprika. If breast bone is near
  the top of the cooker, cover with a narrow piece of foil. Cover pot, add
  regulator and microwave on high for 25 minutes. Let pressure drop, remove
  chicken and thicken gravy by mixing flour with a little water and
  microwaving on high for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring at least once.

      Title: Alexandrian Cumin Bread
 Categories: Breads
   Servings:  1
 
      3 c  Unbleached, all-purpose         1 1/2 ts Salt
           Flour                               1 ts Cumin seed, ground
      1 pk Dried yeast                         1 c  Plus 3 oz. lukewarm water
 
     1) Place the flour, yeast, salt, and ground cumin in a large mixing
  bowl.  Blend well.  Add the water and mix the dough for 2-3 minutes, until
  all the water is absorbed and evenly distributed.  The dough will be damp
  and very sticky, but no internal dry areas should appear by the end of the
  mixing.  If they do, mix a few minutes more, or add a little more water and
  mix again.
  
     2) Let the dough rest 5 minutes.  Now sprinkle 1 or 2 tbsps. flour over
  the dough and knead, either in the bowl or on a lightly floured surface for
  5-10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic and only slightly
  sticky.  Add more flour if needed (e.g. in humid weather).  Let the dough
  rest for 2 minutes more.
  
     3) The dough should now be very smooth and easy to handle.  Knead 30
  seconds more, return the dough to the bowl, cover the bowl with a dish
  towel or large plate, and let rise at room temperature for at least 3
  hours; the dough should almost triple in size.
  
     4) Flour the top of the dough lightly, punch it down, and remove the
  dough from the mixing bowl.  Form the dough into a rectangular loaf and
  place in a well greasad loaf pan, 9-1/4 in. by 5-1/4 in. by 2-3/4 in. Cover
  with a towel and let rise 1 hr., until nicely risen.
  
     5) Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for 35 minutes, until browned on
  top; the bottom of the bread should sound hollow when tapped with the
  finger.  Let the bread cool, then serve.

      Title: Cato's Cheese Bread (Libum)
 Categories: Breads
   Servings:  2
 
      1 c  Feta cheese, drained,                    Flour
           Crumbled, and packed into           1    Egg, beaten
           The measuring cup                   6    Bay leaves
    1/2 c  Unbleached, all-purpose             2 tb Honey
 
     1) Put the cheese into a medium sized mixing bowl.  Mash well with the
  fingers until it becomes a smooth, lumpless paste.  Add the flour and mix
  well with the fingers.  Add the beaten egg and mix well.  The dough will be
  rather sticky.
  
     2) Divide the dough into two equal parts, then form two round, flat, 1/2
  inch thick loaves.  Lay each on three bay leaves set on a greased baking
  sheet, and bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for 1 to 1-1/2 hours, or
  until cooked through.
  
     3) Remove the loaves from the oven, spread the tops with the honey, and
  let cool.  Remove the bay leaves before serving.
  NOTE:  If feta cheese is unavailable, use 1 cup cottage cheese and add 1/4
  cup extra flour (but the taste is inferior).

      Title: Cato's Grape Bread (Mustaceus)
 Categories: Breads
   Servings:  4
 
      4 c  Unbleached, all-purpose             1 ts Cumin seed, ground
           Flour                               1 ts Anise, ground
    1/2 c  Lard, shortening, or butter     1 1/2 c  Grape juice, purple or white
           Melted and cooled                   1 pk Dry yeast
    1/4 c  Feta cheese, crumbled and           8    Bay leaves
           Mashed into a paste            
 
     1) Place the flour, lard, mashed cheese, ground cumin and anise, and
  yeast in a large mixing bowl.  Blend well.  Add the grape juice and mix the
  dough well for 2-3 minutes until all the grape juice is absorbed and evenly
  distributed.  The dough will be damp and sticky, but no internal dry areas
  should appear by the end of the mixing.  If they do, mix a few minutes more
  or add a little more grape juice and mix again.
  
     2) Let the dough rest 5 minutes.  Now sprinkle 1 or 2 tbsp. flour over
  the dough and knead, either in the bowl or on a lightly floured surface for
  5-10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic and only slightly
  sticky.  Add more flour if needed.  Let the dough rest 2 minutes.
  
     3) The dough should now be very smooth and easy to handle.  Knead 30
  seconds more, return the dough to the bowl, cover the bowl with a dish
  towel or large plate, and let rise at room temperature for at least 3
  hours.
  
     4) Sprinkle top with flour, punch down, and form the dough into 4
  rectangular loaves (4 in. by 2 in. by 2-1/2 in.).  Place two bay leaves on
  the bottom of each loaf, and lay them, leaf side down, on a greased cookie
  sheet.  Cover with a towel and let rise for 1 hour, until well risen.
  
     5) Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for 35 minutes, until the loaves
  are brown on top and make a hollow sound when tapped on the bottom. Serve
  when cool.
  NOTE:  To make these breads without leavening, omit the yeast, knead the
  dough thoroughly, then bake at 350 degrees for about 2 hours.  They will be
  chewy and moist, and very foreign to our taste.  The Romans thought
  unleaven bread was manlier and much better for the digestion.

    3/4 c  Olive oil                      
 
     1) Heat 1/4 cup of the olive oil in a frying pan and gently saute the
  chicken livers for 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through.
  
     2) Remove the cooked livers, place in a mixing bowl, and mash well with
  a fork (or use a blender).  Add another 1/4 cup of the oil, salt and pepper
  to taste, and mix well with the liver.
  
     3) Place the chopped liver in a serving dish and shape it into the
  likeness of a fish.  Pour the remaining 1/4 cup oil on top of the fish.
  Serve.
  NOTE:  Liquamen (recipe posted earlier) may be used in addition to or in
  place of the salt.  Apicius' recipe calls for a fish mold; if you have a
  fish-shaped gelatin mold, you could not be more authentic.  If it is a
  large one, however, you may have to double the recipe.

   Taste the chilled soup and add salt and more lime juice to taste. Ladle it
  into chilled soup bowls. Top each serving with a tablespoon of cilantro
  cream and a tablespoon of julienned radishes.
  
  Variation
   This soup is also delicious when served hot and is an ideal opening to a
  hearty Mexican meal.

  1 1/4 ts Onion powder                        2 tb Brown sugar
    1/3 c  Worcestershire Sauce                1 lb Lean beef
  1 1/4 ts Garlic powder                            Liquid mesquite smoke *
 
  * use in place of smoker.
  
  Mix all ingredients except beef to make marinade.  Cut thinly sliced beef
  into 1/2 inch strips and marinate for 8 to 12 hours. Smoke using mesquite
  chips for about three hours and then finish drying in oven. If doing whole
  operation in oven use liquid smoke and hang strips of beef on highest rack
  and put shallow pan underneath to catch drippings. Turn oven on and set to
  lowest possible setting and leave for 6 to 8 hours until thoroughly dried.
  A couple of hints that I picked up from one of the cooking echos. Use
  toothpicks or wooden skewers to hang meat by, and put a couple of layers of
  paper towels in the pan to collect the drippings and save cleaning problems
  later on.

  5 minutes, just until cooked. Drain well. 3. Meanwhile, slice the
  mushrooms.  There should be about 2 cups.  Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a
  skillet and add the mushroom slices.  Sprinkle with salt and about 1
  teaspoon lemon juice.  Cook, stirring and tossing, until the mushrooms give
  up their juice.  Continue cooking until the liquid evaporates. Set aside.
  4.  Melt 1 1/2 tablespoons butter in a saucepan and add the flour, stirring
  with a wire whisk.  Add the milk and cream, stirring rapidly with the
  whisk.  When blended and smooth, add salt and pepper to taste, the
  remaining lemon juice, nutmeg, and Tabasco to taste.  Stir in the mushrooms
  and eggplant.  Stir in the egg.  Spoon the mixture into a baking dish (an
  8" pie plate works well).  Sprinkle with a mixture of crumbs and cheese and
  dot the remaining 1 tablespoon butter.  Bake 30 to 40 minutes, and then
  brown under the broiler.

   Servings: 24
 
     12    Ears of fresh white or            1/2 c  (scant) sugar
           Yellow corn                       1/4 c  Light cream, or more
      1 lb Monterrey Jack cheese,              2    Green chiles, parched and
           Grated                                   Peeled
      1 lb Pure lard                           1 lb Cheddar or Longhorn cheese
    1/2 lb Butter                                   Salt
 
     1.  Chop stalk end of each ear of corn flush with the base of the ear.
  Shuck, being careful to keep corn husks intact for later use. Wash husks,
  and drain.
  
     2.  Cut corn off cobs.  Grind corn with the Jack cheese in a meat
  grinder, blender or food processor.
  
     3.  Cream lard and butter to a smooth and fluffy consistency with an
  electric mixer at medium speed.  Add the ground corn and cheese mixture,
  sugar, cream and salt to taste.  Continue to mix with the electric mixer
  until mixture looks like whipped cream. Add more cream if mixture is dry.
  
     4.  Cut the roasted green chiles into long strips.  Spread about 2
  tablespoons of the corn mixture on each corn husk.  Spread mixture out into
  a rectangle and allow at least 2 inches of husk to extend below the corn
  mixture and a few inches of margin on both sides of the husk. Place about 2
  strips of green chile down the center of the corn mixture, then sprinkle
  with a few pinches of the grated Cheddar cheese.
  
     5.  Hold the two sides of the tamale together to make the corn mixture
  fold up around the filling.  Then tuck one edge of the husk over the top of
  the tamale and roll, tying the ends with strips of corn husks. If
  preferred, the bottom end of the husk can be folded up before rolling. If
  you plan to freeze the tamales, freeze them at this point.
  
     6.  Place the tamales upright on a rack in a pressure cooker or large
  steaming kettle.  Before the rack is completely filled with tamales, pour 1
  to 2 cups water into the bottom of the pan, about 1/2 inch deep.
  
     7.  Steam at 15 lbs pressure for 25 minutes, or in a conventional
  steamer for 45 minutes.  Serve warm with Green Chile Sauce, plain, or with
  beef, pork or chicken added.  These may be kept in the refrigerator for 3
  to 4 days.
  
  Makes 24 tamales.
  
  Freezing Hint:  Package tamales in plastic bags, 12 per package
                  or other suitable quantity.  If packaging large
                  quantities, keep track of the contents on a
                  card. Maximum Recommended Freezer Storage: 1 year

      Title: MOYETTES (CINNAMON SUGAR CRUSTED SWEET BREAD)
 Categories: Mexican
   Servings:  8
 
      5 c  Sifted all purpose flour            1 c  Warm water (105 - 115F)
      2 c  Sugar                               1    Egg, slightly beaten
           Salt                              1/2 c  Melted butter
      3 tb Butter OR oil                       2 ts Ground cinnamon
      1    Active dry yeast (use 2             1 ts Anise extract OR
           Packages if time is short)        1/4 c  Aniseeds
 
     1.  Sift flour, 1 cup sugar adn salt together.  Cut in the butter until
  the mixture resembles coarse meal.  If using oil, stir oil into liquid
  ingredients after adding the egg.
  
     2.  Dissolve yeast in warm water, stir vigorously, and allow to ferment
  for 5 to 10 minutes.  Then add the egg and anise extract or aniseeds.
  
     3.  Add a small quantity of the flour mixture to the yeast and beat
  until thoroughly blended.  Let stand for a few minutes, or until dough
  becomes light and airy.
  
     4.  Add the rest of the flour mixture, adding more flour if necessary to
  make a stiff dough.  Knead on a lightly floured board until satiny.
  
     5.  Butter the top of the dough, cover with wax paper and let rise until
  doubled.
  
     6.  When the bread has risen, punch it down, and let it rise until
  doubled again.
  
     7.  Knead the dough slightly, then form into balls the size of an
  orange.  With a rolling pin, flatten to 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick.
  
     8.  Prepare a topping by mixing together the melted butter, remaining 1
  cup sugar and the cinnamon.  Spread topping on all sides of the rolls.
  
     9.  Let rolls rise until light and about doubled in size. When nearly
  doubled, preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Bake in a preheated oven for 20 to
  25 minutes, or until golden. Slice thinly and butter generously with soft
  butter. Arrange slices on a platter as desired. They will keep for 2 to 3
  days at room temperature when well wrapped.
  
  Maximum recommended freezer storage:  3 months
  
  Makes 8 to 10 small loaves.

      Title: Ajiaco
 Categories: Cuban, Stews, Chicken
   Servings:  4
 
      2 tb Butter                                   Pieces.
      1 ts Cayenne pepper                      2 ts Sweet paprika
      1 c  Unsalted chicken stock              1 c  Onions finely diced
      4    Ears yellow corn, shucked,          3 c  Milk
           Sliced into 1-inch thick            2 lg Yucca peeled and cut into
           Wheels                                   Inch thick dice.
      3 lb Chicken, cut into bite size              Juice of one lime.
 
  This recipe is for a Cuban stew/soup that I used to enjoy con mucho gusto.
  This version of Ajiaco was prepared by Senora Garcia in her little store
  front restaurant on Collins Ave. in Miami Beach.  Although this is not her
  exact recipe, it's the closest I could get to it. Ajico del Restaurant
  Garcia ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Melt the butter in a 6 qt. pot over
  medium heat.  Cook chicken pieces in the butter until no longer pink.
  Remove chicken with slotted spoon and place in in a bowl. Put onion,
  garlic, cayenne, and paprika in pot and cook while stirring, until onion is
  translucent and colored with the paprika.  Add stock, milk, yuca, corn, and
  chicken to the pot.  Bring almost to a boil then reduce heat, cover and
  simmer, stirring every now and then, for about 1 hour, or until yucca is
  tender.  Remove from heat and stir in lime juice. Serve with Cuban or
  French bread that has been sliced and broiled until golden.
  
  As an alternative frozen corn on the cob will work, as well as fresh frozen
  kernels.  The fresh corn cob seems to impart a nice flavor to this dish.
  
  If you're wondering what to do with the wheels of corn, just pick 'em up
  with your fingers and nibble 'round the rims.
  
  This dish recieved rave reviews at the 1991 Blind Pass Marina Xmas Party.

      Title: GINGER-BANANA CHUTNEY
 Categories: Chutney
   Servings:  4
 
      1 lb Onions, chopped                   1/2 lb Raisins, chopped
      6    Ripe bananas, put through a         2 c  Fresh or unsweetened canned
           Food mill                                Pineapple juice
    3/4 lb Pitted dates, chopped               1 ts Salt
  1 1/2 c  Cider vinegar                       2 ts Curry powder
    1/4 lb Crystallized ginger, minced    
 
  Most people think of Trinidad, Guyana, and Martinique when they think of
  East Indian influences on Caribbean cooking. Jamaica, however, has had its
  share of that influence as well, as proved by this chutney that is prepared
  from bananas and ginger. Makes about 3 1/2 cups. Place the onions, bananas,
  dates, and vinegar in a nonreactive saucepan. Stir them to mix well and
  cook over low heat for 20 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients and stir
  to make sure they are well combined. Continue to cook until the chutney has
  a jamlike consistency. Remove from the heat and place in sterilized jars.
  This chutney can accompany cold meats, grilled meats and, of course,
  curries. It will keep for 3 weeks in the refrigerator.
