Title: Roasted Chicken with Apricots
Categories: Poultry, Jewish, Ethnic
Yield: 8 servings
10 oz Dried apricots
1 c White wine
7 lb Chicken pieces (about 1* cut-up fryers
2 t Salt
1 t Pepper
2 t Thyme
1 t Paprika
2 c Onions, cut in chunks
1 c Carrots, chopped
From "A Book of Feasts" by Kay Goldstein and Liza Nelson (Longstreet Press,
1993).
Soak apricots in wine in a dish and set aside.
Rinse chicken pieces under cold water and pat dry. Season the chicken with
the dry seasonings and place pieces in a single layer in a large roasting
pan. Add onions and carrots. Bake in a preheated 350'F. oven for 45
minutes, or until the chicken is just beginning to brown. Pour off excess
fat, if desired, and pour apricots and wine over chicne pieces. Baste with
juices (adding more wine, if needed), and finish cooking, about 30 minutes
longer; remove from oven. If not served within 2 hours, chill and bring
back to room temperature before reheating.
To reheat, place the chicken in covered pan or ovenproof serving dish with
cooking juices (you may skim fat again) and reheat at 375'F. for 20-30
minutes while first courses are being served. To serve, place the chicken
pieces on a serving dish and keep warm while deglazing the pan. Scrape up
pan residues, adding a bit more stock or wine to deglaze if necessary. Pour
resulting sauce over chicken and arrange apricots for garnish.

Title: Banda Kopir Tarkari (Vegetables stir fried with spices)
Categories: Bangladesh, Main dish, Vegetables, Ethnic, Vegetarian
Yield: 4 servings
1/2 ts Tumeric
1/2 lb Potatoes; 225 g. chopped in small cubes
1 ea Onion; finely chopped
1 ea Bay leaf
1/2 ts Cumin, ground
1/2 ts Ginger, ground
1/4 ts Chili powder
4 ea Tomatoes; chopped
1 c Cabbage; finely sliced
1/2 c Peas
Oil
-Salt
"In Bangladesh, cabbage is usually available in the market during the
winter season, as are tomatoes, peas and carrots. So this dish appears
quite frequently at Bengali dinner tables during the winter. In the markets
where such vegetables are available year round, banda is a popular
standard." Meghna Guharthakurta, Dhaka, Bangladesh
Start by heating the oil in a heavy pan and put in the tumeric and some
salt. Fry for a few seconds and then add the cubed potatoes, turning
frequently so that they turn yellow from the tumeric. Cook them for 5-10
minutes (they will complete their cooking later) and remove them from the
oil and set aside. Adding more oil if necessary, now saute the onion slices
until they are soft and transparent. Then add the bay leaf, cumin, ginger
and chili powder. Stir well and put in the tomatoes. When they have begun
to break down, add the cabbage bit by bit, stirring it in well so that it
is sauteed in the spices. Cover and cook gently for 3-5 minutes. Finally
put in the peas and semi-fried potatoes and seasoning.Mix well, replace the
cover and continue to cook for 5-10 minutes or until potatoes are ready.

Title: MEXICAN BEAN CAKE
Categories: Cakes, Ethnic, Mexican
Yield: 24 servings
1/3 c Butter or margarine
3/4 c Sugar
1 Egg
2 c Unseasoned pinto bean puree*
2 ts Vanilla extract
1 c Flour
1 ts Baking soda
1/2 ts Salt
1 ts Ground cinnamon
1/2 ts Ground cloves
1/2 ts Ground allspice
2 c Peeled and diced apple
1 c Raisins
1/2 c Chopped nuts
1 1/2 c Icing sugar (optional)
Milk or fruit juice
"Mexican meals don't usually include cake, but this one--made with bean
puree and lots of fruit and spices--would fit right in with Mexican food!"
Jean's Beans by Jean Hoare page 112.
BEAN PUREE Start with 1 cup of dried beans or a bit more if using large
white limas and you plan to take off the skins. Extra bean puree may be
frozen-it looks like mashed potato. Quick Soak - Wash beans, use 3 cups of
cold water for each cup of beans and bring slowly to a boil. Boil gently
for 2 minutes. Remove from heat, cover and let stand for 1 hour. Drain off
soaking water.
Cover with fresh cold water, bring to a boil for 10 min, reduce heat and
simmer about 30 min until tender. Drain. Remove lima bean skins and
discard any hard beans. Grind through a foodmill, puree in a blender or
food processor. You may have to add a bit of liquid saved from the cooking
process to get the mixture moving. Force the puree through a sieve about
1/4 cup at a time if you want a very smooth puree. Puree only keeps a day
or two in fridge so freeze any that you are not going to use for the
recipe.
Preheat oven to 350F. Grease and flour the bottom only of a 9x13 inch
rectangular pan.
Cream butter with sugar. Add egg and beat well. Blend in bean puree and
vanilla. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt, and spices.
Mix with the apple, raisins, and nuts. Add dry ingredients and fruit to
creamed mixture and blend well. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake
35-45 min or until cake tests done when tried with a toothpick.
Mix icing sugar with enough milk or fruit juice to make a thin glaze;
drizzle over the still-warm cake. Keep in the refrigerator.
(My notes - I would make this again but leave off the glaze as it is quite
sweet.) Shared by Elizabeth Rodier, reposted Nov 93.
