* Exported from MasterCook * Coconut Gelato with Ginger Sauce Recipe By : La Cucina Italiana, Aug. 98 Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Desserts Volume 2-2, Feb.'99 Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- Ice Cream 1/2 cup milk 1 1/2 cups coconut milk 2/3 cup sugar 1 1/4 cups heavy cream For the Cups 3 tablespoons unsalted butter 1/3 cup flour 1/4 cup confectioner's sugar 2 egg whites 1/4 cup desiccated coconut 1 coconut, -- sliced For the ginger sauce 2 egg yolks 1/3 cup sugar 1 teaspoon cornstarch 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated ginger 1 cup milk Prepare the ice cream: Combine the milk, coconut milk, sugar and heavy cream in a bowl. Pour into an ice cream machine, and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions. When the ice cream is ready, transfer it to a bowl in the freezer. Prepare the cups. Preheat the oven to 400F. Combine the softened butter, flour, sugar, egg whites, and desiccated coconut in a bowl with a wire whisk. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Take a spoonful of the batter, and spread it on the baking sheet with the back of the spoon, forming a thin circle 6" in diameter. Make a second circle the same way, and bake for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the circles become dark around the edges but are still light in the center. Remove the circles from the oven and, while they are still soft, lift them one at a time with a knife; place each in a dessert cup, and set aside to cool. The circles will harden and take the shape of the cup. Repeat the procedure until you finish all the batter; you should have 6 circles. Prepare the ginger sauce: Whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, cornstarch, and ginger in a bowl. Heat the milk in a pot without letting it boil, and pour it over the egg mixture. Pour back into the pot. Cook the sauce over medium hear, whisking until it thickens, without letter it boil. Remove from the heat; set aside to cool. Just before serving, arrange the cups on a pool of ginger sauce, fill them with scoops of ice cream and decorate them with fresh coconut slices, if desired.

* Exported from MasterCook * Cranberry-Dried Fruit Sauce Recipe By : Cairn Rodrigues Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Sauces Volume 2-2, Feb.'99 Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 1 cup whole cranberries -- uncooked and roughly chopped 1/2 cup chopped dried fruit (I used apples and apricots) 8 strips candied lemon peel -- chopped, or less 1/2 cup orange juice concentrate 3/4 cup sugar -- approximately In a medium saucepan combine all ingredients except the sugar. Stir it up and add water to cover by about 1/2 inch. Add about half the sugar. Bring to simmer over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. Taste and add sugar if necessary. You don't want this sauce to be too sweet. Simmer and stir about 1 1/2 hours, until the cranberries still have some shape but are soft. Cook's Notes: I didn't use exact amounts, so what's here is a guesstimate. This is a forgiving recipe so play around with it a bit.

* Exported from MasterCook * Curried Vegetable Stew with Onion Pita (Gugino)* Recipe By : *Pat Hanneman, Riverside CA (1999 Jan) Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:20 Categories : Lowfat Beans Stews Vegetables Yams Zucchini Volume 2-2, Feb.'99 Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 12 ounces red sweet potato: one-large 8 ounces sweet onions: one-large 8 ounces zucchini: two-large -- washed 3 tablespoons curry powder -- or less to taste and/or masala 6 ounces red bell pepper 3 cups vegetable stock -- or hearty broth 5 ounces frozen baby lima beans -- thawed 1 6 ounces thi green beans -- preferably haricots verts -- trimmed 1/4 teaspoon saffron threads 1/2 teaspoon Butter Buds=AE -- or to taste salt and black pepper 4 tablespoons cornstarch -- mixed with water -- ONION PITAS -- 4 whole wheat pita bread 4 ounces plain low-fat yogurt garlic salt pepper 1/2 cup thinly sliced sweet onion -- chopped Ideally this curry would be served with an onion kuluha (naan stuffed with freshly diced onion). The onion pitas are a tasty substitute. An onion dinner roll would also work. This recipe was adapted from "Curried Vegetable Stew with Bruschetta," in Sam Gugino's Cooking to Beat the Clock (1998). Our version changes the proportions of vegetables and spice and makes more sauce. 1. Fit a food processor with the slicing attachment (1/4-inch; 2mm). 2. Put 2 tablespoon of oil in a large, deep, heavy dutch oven or stock pot. Apply medium-low heat. 3. Prepare the vegetables so that they may be sliced through the smaller chute of the food processor. *SWEET POTATO -- Peel the potato and halve lengthwise; cut each half into pieces that fit the chute of the food processor. Slice and transfer to the skillet; stir to coat with oil. Increase heat to medium and stir occasionally while preparing the other vegetables. *ONIONS -- Cut a thin slice from the top and bottom, halve lengthwise, and peel each half. Cut once crosswise. Slice. Leave in the bowl. *ZUCCHINI -- trim the ends; cut to fit the chute and slice. 4. Add curry powder to the potatoes; stir to combine and cook until aromatic (30 seconds). 5. Add the onion and zucchini to the pot. Stir well and continue cooking. 6. BELL PEPPER -- Cut the top and bottom; core the pepper. Then cut the pepper into long thin strips. 7. Add the bell pepper and hearty vegetable stock to the pot: stir, cover, and bring to a boil over high heat. 8. Meanwhile, thaw the lima beans under running water; trim the green beans. Add both beans to the pot. Crush the saffron threads with your fingers over the stew and season with salt, pepper and butter buds, to taste. Cook (high simmer) covered for 7 minutes, stirring periodically, until the beans are just tender. Make the slurry of cornstarch and as little water as possible. Thicken the sauce. 9. While the stew cooks, prepare bread. Cut bread in half to open pocket. Mix yogurt, pinch of salt and the sweet onion. Divide this mixture evenly into each pocket. Put pitas on a cookie sheet and bake at 350 for about 5 to 7 minutes. MAKES 4 GENEROUS SERVINGS. EACH (with bread) 600 cals, 13g fat 19%cff (high in vit A.
