It's pasta shaped like pearls of barley; frequently prepared with lamb in Greek cuisine<br /><br />INGREDIENTS<br /><br />3 Tbsp. butter<br />1 1/2 cups orzo<br />3 cups chicken broth (750ml)<br />1/2 cup grated parmesan<br />6 Tbsp. chopped basil or 1 1/2 tsp. dried<br />salt and pepper<br /><br />DIRECTIONS<br /><br />Melt butter in skillet over medium-high heat.

Reduce heat, cover and simmer until orzo is tender and liquid is absorbed...20 min. or more. Mix in parmesan and basil. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to shallow bowl. Serves 6.

Put aside. Then soak 2 Tbsp. yeast in 1 cup of warm water with 2 tsp. sugar. Warm 1 1/2 cups of milk. Beat in 2 eggs, mix with the yeast. Stir into the crumbs to make a soft dough. Put in the fridge for at least 2 hours or up to two days. The dough may be very moist. Just add flour until it is workable. Roll out the dough to 1/4 " thickness on a floured surface. Cut into strips 1 " wide. Twist each strip into a rope, curl into a loose pinwheel. Or cut dough into triangle shapes to roll up. Let rise in warm place for approx. 1/2 hour to an hour. Spread out between 3 cookie sheets at least. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 min. Can drizzle with a simple butter icing or icing sugar mixed with water and vanilla. Makes 3 dozen butterhorns. Quite fussy, but worth the hassle!!Angellahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04084789720358907986noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16668974.post-1162672911145073412006-11-04T12:39:00.000-08:002006-11-04T12:41:51.156-08:00Chinese filled BunsINGREDIENTS<br /><br />16oz bread or pizza dough<br />2 tsp. curry powder (save half for later)<br />4 Tbsp. soy sauce (save half for later)<br />1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper<br />1/2 tsp. sugar<br />1 tsp. grated ginger (1/2 tsp. if ground)<br />2 crushed garlic cloves<br />1 lb. hamburger<br />1 Tbsp. cornstarch<br />2 Tbsp. water<br />2 Tbsp. veg. oil<br />1 small chopped onion<br /><br />DIRECTIONS<br /><br />Brown the hamburger with onion (and oil if necessary) Add all spices to the beef. Mix the saved 1/2 of soy sauce and curry with the cornstarch and water. Add to the beef and let simmer. Cool. Roll dough out into one long rectangle like you are going to make cinnamon buns. Spread the filling on top of the dough and roll it up. Cut into individual buns. (If you prefer, you can make little circles and make them more like pizza pockets) Place 2 " apart onto greased cookie sheet. Let rise for 20 min. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 min.

Butter an 8 inch pan, line the bottom with parchment (or wax) paper, and then butter the parchment.<br /><br />In a medium bowl, melt the butter and both chocolates together and let cool slightly. Whisk in sugar and then vanilla and salt. Whisk in the eggs and the egg yolk, one at a time.

In the past I have used a mandolin to dice everything, but lately my favourite is to put it all in a food processor and blend and then CHOW DOWN!!!<br /><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">Bar-B-Q potatoes</span></strong><br /><br />Thickly slice some red or white new potatoes. Slice some onion.<br /><br />In an aluminum foil cake pan (9x9 or whatever), place a few pats of butter on the bottom. Layer the potatoes and the onions, randomly putting more butter here and there as you go (I don't think you could have too much butter, could you? -- but make sure there's enough). Season with Montreal steak spice or whatever fresh herbs you have on the go. Cover with alum. foil. Place on grill over medium heat for, about 20-25 minutes or until potatoes are soft. When you do them just right, the ones on the bottom are nice and crispy. I like them almost burned. In our family, we fight for the bottom ones!<br /><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">Easy veggies</span></strong><br /><br />This one I love.<br /><br />Chop any veggies you like as you would for a stir fry. Mushrooms, zuccini, peppers, onions, broccoli, cauliflower, beans, asparagus.... Drizzle some olive oil, and use any club house seasoning you have. I use the greek one lots, or the italian one too. Let sit for a bit. Using a bar-b-q grilling basket on the grill over med-high heat, 'stir fry' away. Yum.<br /><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">Grilled asparagus</span></strong><br /><br />Season asparagus with coarse salt -- lots of it. let it sit, and bar-b-q on the grill until they are well done. A grilling basket works well for these guys so they don't fall through the cracks!Angellahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04084789720358907986noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16668974.post-1148595187198948352006-05-25T15:10:00.000-07:002006-05-25T15:13:07.200-07:00Tzatziki sauceMmmm...pitas.<br /><br />Mmmm...garlic.<br /><br /><br />INGREDIENTS:<br /><br />2 (8 ounce) containers plain yogurt<br />2 cucumbers - peeled, seeded and diced<br />2 tablespoons olive oil<br />1/2 lemon, juiced<br />salt and pepper to taste<br />1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill<br />3 cloves garlic, peeled<br />Pitas or veggies<br /><br />DIRECTIONS:<br /><br />In a food processor or blender, combine yogurt, cucumber, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, dill and garlic.

I personally dislike pork, so we use chicken :) This recipe makes 6 servings.<br /><br />Goes well with a Greek Salad!<br /><br />INGREDIENTS:<br /><br />1 lemon, juiced (or lemon juice)<br />1/4 cup olive oil<br />1/4 cup soya sauce<br />1 teaspoon dried oregano<br />3 cloves garlic, crushed<br />4 pounds chicken (or other meat), cut into 1 inch cubes<br />2 medium yellow onions, cut into 1 inch pieces<br />2 green bell peppers, cut into 1 inch pieces<br />skewers<br /><br />DIRECTIONS:<br />In a large bowl, mix together lemon juice, olive oil, soy sauce, oregano, and garlic; add chicken, onions, and green peppers, and stir to coat.<br /><br />Cover, and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours.<br /><br />Preheat grill for medium-high heat.

Add a see-zore salad (or greek) and it is a perfect summer dinner!<br /><br /><strong>Salsa:</strong><br /><strong></strong><br />1 ripe avocado, cut into 1/2 inch chunks<br />2 plum tomatoes, cut into 1/2 inch chunks<br />1 cup minced red onion<br />1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced<br />1/2 cup minced fresh cilantro<br />1 lime, juiced<br />1/2 tsp. salt<br /><br />Combine all ingredients in a glass (or stainless steel or glazed ceramic) dish, and mix gently. Set aside. (Can be made hours ahead, if desired, and stored, covered, in refrig.)<br /><br /><strong>Mahi Mahi:</strong><br /><br />1-1/2 lb. mahi mahi, cut into 4 pcs.<br />1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil<br />1 lime, juiced<br />1/2 tsp. salt<br />1/2 tsp. black pepper<br /><br />In a deep glass dish marinate the fish with the other ingredients for 20-30 minutes before grilling. Grill over coals or under a broiler for 6-8 min. per side. Serve fish with the salsa on top.Angellahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04084789720358907986noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16668974.post-1144703222523860082006-04-10T13:58:00.000-07:002006-04-10T14:07:04.483-07:00Chocolate Chip Bundt CakeAnother favourite :)<br />Angella<br /><br />INGREDIENTS:<br /><br /><u>Batter:</u><br /><br />1/2 cup margarine<br />1 cup sugar<br />2 eggs<br />1 cup sour cream<br />2 cups flour<br />1 tsp baking powder<br />1 tsp baking soda<br />1 tsp vanilla<br /><br /><u>Topping:</u><br /><br />1 1/4 cup chocolate chips<br />1/2 cup brown sugar<br /><br />DIRECTIONS:<br /><br />Cream margarine & sugar well. Add eggs & sour cream. Mix well. Add flour, baking powder, baking soda, and vanilla. Mix well.<br /><br />Grease 1 10-inch bundt pan. Mix topping together and set aside.<br /><br />Pour 1/2 of batter into pan. Cover batter with 1/2 of topping mixture. And rest of batter. Sprinkle with remaining topping.<br /><br />Bake at 350 for 50-60 minutes.<br /><br />HINT: I don't actually mix the topping. I put 1/2 of the batter in. Then cover with enough brown sugar so you can't see the batter. Then cover with enough chocolate chips so you don't see the brown sugar. Then put the rest of the batter in. Then repeat the smothering with brown sugar & chocolate chips.Angellahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04084789720358907986noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16668974.post-1143478092752676682006-03-27T08:45:00.000-08:002006-03-27T08:48:12.776-08:00Chocolate Chocolate CakeI made this for Nathan's last birthday, and for Matthew's birthday yesterday. It's pretty much the best chocolate cake EVER. <br />Angella<br /><br />INGREDIENTS:<br /><br />1 (18.25 ounce) package dark chocolate cake mix (Betty Crocker Devil's Food Cake rocks!)<br />1 (3.9 ounce) package instant chocolate pudding mix<br />1 (16 ounce) container sour cream<br />3 eggs<br />1/3 cup vegetable oil<br />1/2 cup coffee flavored liqueur (I substitute this with chocolate milk)<br />2 cups semisweet chocolate chips<br /><br />DIRECTIONS:<br /><br />Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt pan.<br />In a large bowl, combine cake mix, pudding mix, sour cream, eggs, oil and coffee liqueur. Beat until ingredients are well blended. Fold in chocolate chips. Batter will be thick. Spoon into prepared pan.<br />Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour, or until cake springs back when lightly tapped. Cool 10 minutes in pan, then turn out and cool completely on wire rack.<br /><br />Chocolate icing makes it unbelievable.Angellahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04084789720358907986noreply@blogger.com1
