Smashed Radishes In Soy Dressing

24 Fresh red radishes

2 ts Salt

1 ts White vinegar

1 ts Sugar

3 ts Thin soy sause

3 tb Peanut oil

1 ts Sesame oil

1/4 ts Fresh ginger juice

Chinese parsley for garnish Remove heads and tails from radishes; wash. Using bottom of heavy drinking glass, about 2″ across base, hit radishes on side to crack them - not mash them - so dressing can get into flesh. Avoid rendering a crushing blow no matter how you feel that day. Sprinkle radishes all over with salt, put them in a bowl, and set aside for about 15 minutes at room temperature. Prepare dressing: Combine vinegar, sugar, thin soy sauce, peanut oil, sesame oil and fresh ginger juice. Double amount of vinegar for a sharper taste, if desired. Drain liquid from radishes (salt will have drawn off quite a bit of water); pour dressing over them; cover and refrigerate for 3 minutes. If you make this dish ahead of time, pour on dressing 30 minutes before serving. Immediately before serving, transfer radishes to serving dish; garnish with Chinese parsley and serve.

Prego Spaghetti Sauce

Posted by LladyRusty at recipegoldmine.com 6:20:15pm 1/24/03

I have this clone. I haven tried it, but it looks okay. I do have one suggestion. Use a can of Italian plum tomatoes (not Italian style). The brand of tomato does make a huge difference. Some American companies pick green tomatoes so that theyll last through all of the processing. These end up being bitter. Trust me, its pretty hard to find a bitter imported Italian tomato.

Source: Posted by: nehor 06-13-2001 01:06 PM  Note: This is a good clone of their sauce! I hope you enjoy it. If you do, thank my aunt. She sent me this recipe!

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large minced garlic clove
1/2 onion, very finely chopped
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1 (29 ounce) can tomato puree
4 tablespoons granulated sugar

Heat oil over medium low heat. Add garlic. Stir and cook until golden brown. Be careful not to burn the garlic. Add onion and cook until soft and golden, stirring frequently.

Add seasonings and tomato products. Slowly bring to the boil at a medium high heat. Let boil for 10 minutes, covered

Reduce to lowest heat. Cover and simmer 1 hour, stirring occasionally. This makes six cups.

Servings: 6

REVIEWS

 by tmac: I tried Llady Rustys recipe and let me tell you it tastes just like prego! It is fab! I just had to add more garlic, onion and Italian sausage (the way i like it). Thanks so much!!!

p.s. I ran it through a blender, cuz I don like chunky tomatoes in my sauce - which Prego also does.

        fried stuffed eggplant slices

        fried stuffed eggplant slices

        Fried Stuffed Eggplant Slices

        1 medium-size eggplant, peeled and
            cut into 1/8-inch thick slices
        Olive oil
        1 cup bread crumbs
        2 eggs, lightly beaten
        Salt and pepper to taste
        1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
            (or to taste), divided
        2 tablespoons fresh parsley
        1 (17 to 20 ounce) jar favorite tomato sauce

        Slice eggplant and set aside.

        Make stuffing by mixing bread crumbs, eggs, salt, pepper and about 1/4 to 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese and parsley together. (If mixture is too stiff to spread over the slices, add a little water or olive oil to thin). Take a slice of eggplant and cover the slice with filling (abut 1 tablespoon). Place another slice over the top, like a sandwich). Continue with all eggplant slices. Fry in a good quality olive oil. The oil should be hot before placing eggplant in pan. Brown both sides. When slices are browned and cooked, place on paper towel to absorb the excess oil. After all slices are fried, place the eggplant stacks in large baking dish. Over each eggplant layer, pour hot tomato sauce and sprinkle with additional cheese.

        Preheat oven and bake at 350 degrees F for about 20 minutes or until bubbly.

        Serves 4 to 6.

              Lima Bean Cheese Bake

              Filed under: Beans and Grains | Tags:

              Lima Bean Cheese Bake

              3 c Lima beans, cooked, dried,

              -drained 1 md Onion, chopped

              3 tb Catsup

              3 tb Flour, whole wheat

              1 1/2 c Cheddar cheese, shredded

              1 1/2 c Milk

              Preheat oven to 350F. Combine beans, onion, catsup, and flour in a shallow 2 quart casserole. Add 1 cup cheese. Pour milk over beans, top with

              remaining cheese. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes until sauce is thickened and bubbling. As it cools, the sauce will thicken further. We serve this with Irish Soda Bread, and mixed vegetables or a salad. You can bake the soda bread while the beans are cooking, and then pop the casserole into the already hot oven.

                        bean cakes

                        Bean Cakes

                        1 recipe Boiled Pinto Beans, well drained
                        1 medium white onion, minced
                        2 serrano chiles, stemmed and minced
                        1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
                        1/2 teaspoon salt
                        1/4 cup peanut oil
                        1 cup fresh tomato salsa
                        1 cup Crema

                        Mash the beans to a textured pur?e with a food processor or potato masher. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the onion, chiles, cumin and salt. Using 1/4 cup of the bean mixture, make 3 x 1/2-inch patties.

                        Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large heavy skillet. Put as many patties in the skillet as will fit in a single uncrowded layer and fry over fairly high heat until golden and toasted, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to a platter. Fry remaining patties.

                        Sprinkle each patty with salsa, then drizzle Crema over. Serve immediately.
