Potatoes Indonesian
Volume 2-2, Feb.'99 Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ -------------------------------- 6 medium potatoes -- peeled and diced
6 chicken broth
3 bay leaves
2 medium carrots -- diced
1 small bunc green onions -- diced
1 teaspoon salt -- (use less!)
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
1/2 ounce maggi seasoning
1/2 pound sharp cheddar cheese -- grated
1/2 cup sour cream -- (I used Fat-free) Cover potatoes with chicken broth and bring to a boil. Add bay
leaves. Cook until potatoes are tender. Using a wire whisk,
mash potatoes as much as possible (finished product should be
smooth with a few lumps of potato). Add carrots, green onions,
and seasonings. Simmer for 1/2 hour. Add grated cheese, mix
with wire whisk until dissolved. Add sour cream and stir until
smooth. Chef's Notes: This soup will not break down like a cream soup and can be
kept hot for long periods of time. This is a really delicious, hardy soup. We had this for
dinner tonight. It came to me from Brenda Adams on the
Mastercook List, but is well worth passing on. See my
note in recipe about salt. ..... Bobbie Yields 2 quarts. Heiss' Steak & Seafood House, Reno, Nevada.

* Exported from MasterCook * Puree of Parsley Roots (German) Recipe By : The New German Cookbook
Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Vegetables Restaurants
Volume 2-2, Feb.'99 Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ -------------------------------- 6 medium parsley roots -- with tops
(about 1-3/4-lbs)
1/2 cup half and half
1 cup milk
or all half and half
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg Good German home cooks slip parsley roots into soups and stews, but
Chef Harald Schmitt of the Orangerie at Wiesbaden's Hotel Nassauer
Hof whips them into an aromatic puree that can be served in place
of mashed potatoes. The roots are cooked in creamy-milk; some of the
leafy greens are added for herbal flavor. The roots are mashed and
served like potatoes. You can also substitute parsley root in
recipes calling for celery root and/or parsnips. 1. Remove the green tops from the parsley roots and chop enough of
them to equal 1/2 cup; set aside. Peel the parsley roots, cut into
one-inch cubes, and place in a medium-size heavy saucepan. Add milk
and gently push the roots underneath the cream (they will float
at first.) 2. Set, uncovered, over moderate heat and bring to a boil. Adjust
the heat so the mixture bubbles gently, then cover and simmer 30
minutes, until the parsley roots are soft. Add the reserved tops
and cool 10 minutes. 3. Transfer to a food processor fitted with the metal blade and
puree 20 seconds, until smooth. Return to the saucepan, add the
butter, salt, pepper and nutmeg and bring just to serving
temperature over moderate heat, stirring often. SERVES 6, each 173 cals, 8g fat (41% cff). Celery Root Puree (Variation): Prepare as directed but substitute
1+3/4-lbs peeled and cubed celery root. Season with a pinch of
thyme and marjoram (or rosemary). Cook's Notes: Puree of Parsley Roots Information
Fragrant Parsley Roots are in our markets. They look like
tiny pale carrots.
Buy them with their greens.
Use the greens as an herb (like dill weed).
Scrub or peel; trim the stem end.
Can be eaten raw. Add to a slaw or juice them.
Cooked: add to stews or soups -- Potato, leek and parsley root soup.
Or slice them into a potato gratin (yummers!)
Or add, diced, to poultry stuffing (bread or rice).
Or mash and serve: see recipe above for Puree of Parsley Roots. Contributed to FareShare, February 8, 1999, Y2V2-7
