• Doc's Is Down (Again)

    From Dave Drum@1:18/200 to All on Thu Oct 7 05:56:30 2021
    Lately Koon's BBS has been up and down like a hooker's "unmentionables"
    when the fleet is in. He blames it in the "liberals" being out to "get
    him".

    Anyway that means we won't be hearing from Nanook of the NWT. Or from
    sporadic poster, single Ruth.

    Weller could easily rejoin us by using Dale Shipp's packet mail service
    (ala Bill Swisher) without compromising his "computer security" which
    he seems paranoid about.

    Meanwhile the rest of us natter on as we can. Bv)=

    Title: Raspberry Rhubarb Paranoid Pinwheels
    Categories: Pastry, Fruits, Snacks, Dairy
    Yield: 24 servings

    MMMMM--------------------------DOUGH---------------------------------
    4 c A-P flour
    1 1/3 c Butter; cold and hard
    2/3 c Ice water; as needed
    3 ts Sugar
    1 1/4 ts Salt
    1/2 ts Cinnamon

    MMMMM-------------------------FILLING--------------------------------
    1 Stalk rhubarb; in 1" pieces
    6 oz Punnet raspberries
    1/2 c White sugar
    1/4 c Brown sugar
    1/4 ts Cinnamon

    MMMMM-------------------------TOPPING--------------------------------
    1 lg Egg
    +=WHISKED WITH=+
    2 ts Water
    2 tb Raw sugar
    3 oz Raspberries
    1/3 c Whipped cream
    Powdered sugar to sprinkle

    In a large bowl mix together all of the dry ingredients.
    Cut the butter in 1" pieces over the bowl, allowing the
    butter pieces to fall into the dry ingredients. Pour the
    cold water into the bowl a little bit at a time and mix
    the dough together with your hands, kneading until the
    dough just sticks together. Once the dough sticks
    together, you dongCOt need to add any more water. Roll out
    the dough into two separate 1/4" thick rectangles, then
    wrap each one with plastic wrap and place in the
    refrigerator to allow the dough to relax while you
    prepare the filling.

    To prepare the filling, bring the rhubarb, raspberries,
    granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon to a boil
    over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and allow to
    simmer, uncovered, until the mixtures reduces by half
    and thickens, stirring every 5 minutes. Once the mixture
    reaches the desired consistency, remove from heat and
    allow to cool to room temperature.

    Once the filling has cooled completely, you can begin
    assembling the pinwheels pastries.

    Set the oven @ 375+|F/190+|C. Remove the dough from the
    refrigerator and cut it into 3" by 3" squares. Place the
    squares on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and
    place about 1 teaspoon of the filling in the center of
    each square. Use a sharp knife to cut diagonally from
    the corner of each square going towards the filling in
    the center, stopping about 1/8" away from the filling.

    To create the pinwheels, fold the top left-hand corner
    of each square down over the filling. Continuing around
    the square clockwise, fold down the left-hand corner of
    the remaining 3 corners of the square, gently patting
    down the crease to ensure it doesngCOt unfold while
    baking. Brush the exposed surfaces of the pinwheel
    lightly with the egg wash and sprinkle each pinwheel
    with a pinch of the raw sugar. Place in the oven and
    bake until the pinwheels turn golden brown, about 15-25
    minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool
    completely.

    To serve, top each pinwheel with a heaping spoonful of
    whipped cream and a single fresh raspberry. Sprinkle
    with powdered sugar and enjoy!

    1 oz Plain (all-purpose) flour
    Salt & fresh ground pepper
    1/4 ts Dry mustard
    1/4 ts Cayenne pepper
    1 Young rabbit per person;
    - fillets and leg meat

    Recipe courtesy of Clarissa Dickson Wright and Jennifer
    Paterson

    Make seasoned flour with salt, pepper, dry mustard and
    cayenne pepper.

    In a food processor finely mince the leg meat, add the
    egg white and seasoning and blend to a paste. Flatten
    the fillets and flour lightly. Lay a piece of bacon cut
    to fit on one fillet, spread a layer of the mousseline
    of rabbit and egg white onto the bacon and lay your
    sorrel of sage leaves on top of this. Place the other
    rabbit fillet on top to make a parcel.

    In a heavy-lidded frying pan melt the butter and gently
    fry the onion, add the rabbit parcel and brown, turning
    carefully. Season, pour on white wine, cover and cook
    gently for 10 minutes turning the parcel halfway
    through.

    Check that the rabbit is tender and cooked through, and
    serve with garlic-pureed potatoes and a green vegetable.

    Title: Peanut Sauce Chicken
    Categories: Oriental, Poultry, Nuts, Chilies, Vegetables
    Yield: 4 Servings

    3 tb Peanut oil
    1 lb Chicken; in medium cubes
    2 cl Garlic; minced
    1 tb Minced fresh ginger root
    1/2 c Preserved radish
    4 Sq. canned firm bean curd *
    2 Green onions

    MMMMM---------------------------SAUCE--------------------------------
    2 tb Crunchy peanut butter
    1 tb Dark soy sauce
    1 tb Cider vinegar
    2 tb Sesame oil
    2 Dried, hot, red chilies
    2 ts Sugar
    1/3 c Stock
    1/2 ts Msg (if you must)

    * I use another 12 oz of meat in place of the tofu - UDD

    Soak radish in warm water for 45 minutes. Cut chicken in
    1/2" cubes. Drain & rinse canned bean curd; cut into 1/2"
    cubes. (If using fresh bean curd, wrap it in clean dish
    towel and press it for 1 hour to make it more firm. Wrap
    it tightly & use about a 5-pound weight.) Drain radish &
    cut into 1/2" cubes. Cut green onions, including tops,
    in 2" lengths.

    SAUCE: In a cup, cream together peanut butter and soy
    sauce. Slowly mix in remaining sauce ingredients. Set
    aside.

    STIR-FRYING: Add oil to hot wok. When oil starts to
    smoke, add meat. Stir-fry for about 1 minute. Add garlic
    & ginger; stir-fry for another 30 seconds. Transfer meat
    to saucepan; add peanut sauce; heat & simmer for 15
    minutes, adding onions about mid-way. Skim off excess
    oil. Add more stock if sauce thickens.

    STEAMING: In Chinese steamer, steam radish & bean curd
    on its serving plate for 15 minutes, just prior to
    serving. When ready to serve, drain water off plate,
    and top vegetables with chicken & peanut sauce.

    NOTE: This works well with pork, also - UDD
