Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Eggs Miscellaneous
Volume 4, Jan. '99 Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ -------------------------------- *see below* Heat 2 egg yolks and 1/4 cup liquid from the recipe--for example, lemon
juice and water in mayonnaise or cream in truffles--and 1/2 teaspoon
sugar in a small skillet over very low heat, stirring and scraping the
bottom of the pan constantly with a spatula. At the first sign of
thickening, remove the pan from the heat, but continue stirring and dip
the pan bottom in a larger pan of cold water to stop the cooking. Use in
the recipe instead of raw yolks. Destroying bacteria is a matter of both
time and temperature. You do not even have to get the yolks to the
salmonella instant-kill temperature of 160F (71C). Holding them at slightly
lower temperatures for several minutes is just as effective. Yolks are
pasteurized by holding them for 3.5 minutes at 140F (60C), which is not
very hot--hot tap water is in this range. Eggs don't scramble (cook) until
about 180"F (82C). So there is some margin here. Posted to FareShare 1-99 by ddmmom/Gayle <ddmmom@popalex1.linknet.net - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Holidays Peanut Butter
Volume 4, Jan. '99 Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ -------------------------------- 2/3 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 cup peanut butter
3/4 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 cup sugar
Licorice string candy -- cut in
One-inch pieces
**Cobweb Frosting**
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon peanut butter
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk Combine flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside. Place butter and peanut butter in a large pan. Cook over medium heat until
butter melts and mixture is thoroughly combined. Blend in cocoa powder.
Stir in sugar, eggs and vanilla. Blend in dry ingredients. For each spider cookie form a 3/4-inch ball for the head of the spider
and a 1-inch ball for the body. Insert 8 pieces of licorice string candy
into sides of body to make the legs. Bake one dozen at a time in preheated 350F oven for 9 to 10 minutes or
until done. Cool slightly on the pan, remove to wire racks to finish
cooling completely. Frost with Cobweb Frosting and decorate with licorice candy. Cobweb Frosting: Melt the butter and peanut butter in a small pan. Stir in the cocoa.
Blend in the powdered sugar and milk until smooth. This recipe is from a little booklet entitled "Favorite Recipes" compiled
by the Bon Accord Preschool Association, Bon Accord, Alberta, Canada. Hallie's notes: The recipe reads that you attach the licorice legs before baking but also
says to decorate with the licorice pieces after baking. I haven't made these so you will have to decide which way to do it, however
I think the licorice would melt during baking so I would be inclined to
press the "legs" into the cookie after baking while still warm and soft. Formatted for MasterCook by Hallie du Preez.

* Exported from MasterCook * Stewed Tomato Soup with Black Beans & Bell Peppers Recipe By : Pat Hanneman, Riverside (1998 Dec)
Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:25
Categories : Tomatoes Volume 4, Jan. '99
Beans/Legumes Cheese
Soups,Stocks & Chowder Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ -------------------------------- 1 teaspoon olive oil
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
4 garlic cloves -- finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup red, green, and yellow bell peppers -- chopped
1 teaspoon cre-ole chile spice blend -- see recipe
or Mexican-seasoning blend
2 cups cooked black beans -- rinsed
2 cups Mexican stewed tomatoes
1 cup low-salt vegetable or chicken broth
1/2 cup carrot juice
2 tablespoons apple juice
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro -- leaves only
1 ounce lowfat cheddar cheese
malt vinegar -- as condiment This black bean soup has evolved over the years into a tomato soup with
black beans. It's fast; It uses canned ingredients. It's comfort food when
served with cornbread, also made from a mix. The only unusual ingredients
are the juices: carrot and apple. You could omit them but they calm the
tomato's acidity. Serves 4 when served with cornbread. Also good as a
topper for baked potatoes. 1. Heat oil in a medium saucepan. Soften onion with garlic and black
pepper. Add the chopped bell peppers, the Mexican spice blend and the
rinsed and drained black beans. Stir well to combine and add the stewed
tomatoes (Mexican style). Simmer, crushing the larger pieces of tomato and
adding chicken broth to thin. Cook until the flavors are combined; about
15 to 20 minutes or as long as it takes to bake the corn bread. 2. Just before serving, add the chopped fresh cilantro leaves and stir
until aromatic. Serve in wide bowls, garnish with a few cheddar cheese
shavings; sprinkle soup with malt vinegar. ER BOWL: 183 cals, 2.5 g fat (12%cff) Tested by Pat and Bob Hanneman 12/98 from http://home.earthlink.net/~kitpath
