* Exported from MasterCook * Chicken Toastie Triangles Recipe By : adapted from Finger Foods Serving Size : 60 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Appetizers Volume 3, Dec. '98 Chicken Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 15 slices white bread 1/2 pound chicken thigh meat -- chopped [ 250g] 1 egg 2 teaspoons dry sherry -- [10ml] 2 teaspoons light soy sauce -- [10ml] 2 teaspoons cornstarch -- [10ml] [aka cornflour in Britain] 1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger -- [2ml] 1 tablespoon coconut cream -- [40ml] [see note] 1 egg -- lightly beaten, extra 1/4 cup fresh coriander or parsley sprigs oil for frying Coconut Cream - this can be found in Asian markets. You can also use the thickened layer from a can of canned coconut milk, or if absolutely necessary you can use the canned milk itself. Cut each bread slice into a square, then into 4 triangles. Put the chicken, first egg, sherry, soy sauce, cornstarch, ginger and coconut cream into a food processor or blender and process until smooth. Spread some of this mixture on each bread triangle. Brush with a little of the lightly-beaten egg. If desired, garnish the top with a sprig of parsley or coriander leaf. Up to 1 hour before serving, fry the triangles in hot oil until well-browned. Drain on paper towel. Cool. The original recipe called for deep-frying but I prefer to "shallow-fry" in a deep-sided pot or pan with about 2 inches of oil. Makes 60. This recipe can be made a day ahead and stored, covered, in the refrigerator; uncooked triangles may be frozen.

* Exported from MasterCook * Chocolate-Macadamia Popcorn -Spieler Recipe By : From Pantry to Table by Marlena Spieler Serving Size : 32 Preparation Time :0:25 Categories : Nuts Snacks Volume 3, Dec. '98 Candies Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 8 cups plain popcorn from 1/3-1/2-cup kernels 3 1/2 ounces macadamia nuts -- quartered and halved 1 cup light brown sugar 1/4 cup golden corn syrup or half light and half dark corn syrup 1/2 cup unsalted butter 1/2 teaspoon salt 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa -- heaping 1/2 tablespoon baking soda Marlena got this idea for dark-colored caramel corn from her aunt. 1. Toss together popcorn and macadamia nuts, and pour into a shallow baking dish or onto a cookie sheet. 2. In a heavy saucepan, combine brown sugar, syrup, butter, salt, and cocoa. 3. Bring to a boil over a medium heat and continue boiling for 5 to 7 minutes, or until syrup reaches 260F on a candy thermometer, or forms a ball if a drop or two is dropped into a glass of cold water. 4. Remove from heat and add baking soda; it will foam up. 5. Quickly pour over popcorn and nuts, mixing well so that caramel coats popcorn and holds much of it together; let cool. Caramel will be very hot and hard to handle, then cool very quickly. 6. When cool enough to handle, break up into smaller pieces. Keep in a relatively dry place. Marlena keeps it lightly covered with paper on a pantry shelf for however long it lasts. *FROM PANTRY TO TABLE, by Marlena Spieler (1991 Andrea Books ISBN 020157072-6 pbk) >Prep:10 min (popping corn and chopping nuts); Cook: 15 min.; Serves: 32 EACH 1/4-CUP: 66 calories; 0.5g protein; 8g carbohydrates; 4g fat (50%). >estimated by kitpath@earthlink.net Posted on FareShare 12-98 by kitpath@earthlink.net 12/98 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Nutr.
