-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 thick slice french bread

I find a recipe in my Encyclopedia of Cooking by JoAnna Morris for aioli.

Here it is: Remove the crusts from bread and soak in milk. Squeeze dry.
Place in large mortar with garlic & mash with pestle until a fine paste.
Add the yolks & salt & mash in. Drop by drop pound in olive oil. When the
sauce becomes thick; the remaining oil may be beaten in. Thin with water &

April O'shea's Authentic Italian Meatballs
Recipe By :

-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 pound ground beef -- *
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 teaspoon garlic; minced -- **
1 cup Progresso italian flavored
2 teaspoon parsley
breadcrumbs (approx.)
1 med. onion -- finely chopped
1 egg
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup Parmesan cheese
* The old country way is a mixture of 1/3 beef, 1/3 pork and 1/3-veal
ground together. But I think beef is much better. ** Heaping Tsp., save
time by using the jar of pre-chopped garlic. Mix all ingredients together
in a large bowl with your hands making sure everything is well mixed. Form
into meatballs and fry *** in a large skillet with about 1/2 cup olive oil
over medium high heat. Turn on all sides to brown and cook through. When
all the way cooked, add them to your sauce and let them cook slowly for
about 1 hour. *** Can also be browned in the oven on a baking or broiler
rack. This will produce less greasy but also drier meatballs. Note:
April's ancestors (on both sides) go back to Italy. I don't think the same
is true for her husband!

-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 1/2 cup bread flour
2 sm cloves garlic -- thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoon rosemary*
3/4 teaspoon active dry yeast
3 tablespoon Bertolli light olive oil
1 cup warm water
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine flour, salt, yeast and water in
bowl. Blend well, turn out onto floured surface. Knead well, about 15
minutes. Place in lightly greased bowl, not buttered, cover with a damp
cloth and let rise for 1-1/2 hours (until doubled in bulk). Turn dough
out, punch down and knead for 5 minutes or so. Return to bowl and let rise
until doubled in bulk. Punch down and turn out on lightly floured board.
Roll and press out to about 1/2 inch thickness. This recipe makes about
1-12 inchers-so you can judge whether to double or reduce the recipe. Rub
surface of baking (cookie) sheet with oil and transfer the dough round to
the sheet. Make several indentations with the point of a knife in the
dough and insert garlic slices and rosemary into indentations.Rub olive
oil (pour) onto surface and gently smooth over the surface. Salt and
pepper surface LIGHTLY. Bake 10-12 minutes or until just golden. Remove
from oven and TAKE OUT THE GARLIC SLIVERS! You can now top the crust,
freeze it, eat it the way it is, smile at it (YOU DID IT!) Remember, when
you top it the crust is already 2/3 baked and will require only enough
time so that the cheeses, etc. are bubbly. Formatted for MM by Norma Wrenn

4 tablespoon butter
1/2 pound mushrooms -- thinly sliced

2 cup tomatoes; peeled -- diced
4 loin veal chops -- 1" thick
1/2 cup prosciutto ham -- julienne cut
salt to taste
Melt butter in saucepan; saute mushrooms for 3 minutes. Add tomatoes, ham,
wine salt and pepper to taste and bring to a boil, lower heat and cook for
5 minutes. Season chops with salt and pepper to taste. Heat 2 T. olive oil
in skillet; brown chops on both sides. Cut 4 pieces of parchment paper
large enough to completely fold over each chop. Brush the paper with
remaining oil. Place a chop in center of each piece of parchment and cover
with the sauce. Sprinkle each chop with parsley. Fold over the paper,
sealing the edges well. Place on a baking sheet; bake in a 375F oven for
15 to 20 minutes. Serve in the paper with the top rolled back. Note: I
usually place the parchment packages on a large wooden carving board and
bring it to the table. You can either snip open the packages with scissors
or carefully with a sharp knife. I like to remove the contents onto the
dinner plate. Fried zucchini sticks go very well with this dish. Enjoy.

rounds out the flavor.

to thicken. Mix often to avoid lumping and sticking. Cut all the cheese
into small strips. Gradually add the cheese mixing well while it melts
into a velvety sauce. Season with salt and pepper and serve over hot,
cooked pasta of your choice. Top with grated cheese. **You may vary some
of the cheeses, but never the Fontina. That is the essential flavor.

14 ounce artichoke hearts -- drained a
Place chicken in a lightly greased 12x8x2" baking dish (Pam works great).
Arrange tomatoes, mushrooms, olives, and artichokes on top. Combine salad
dressing and wine; pour over vegetables and chicken. Sprinkle with the
onion soup mix. Cover and bake @ 350 for 1 hr.or until the chicken is
done. Meanwhile cook the linguine. When the chicken is done, spoon the
juice and vegetables over the pasta and top with the chicken. ( Southern
Living, Sept. 1991) I bet this would be great made ahead and letting the
chicken marinade in the dressing and wine. It was good and good for you.
Hope you enjoy.

1 pound ground chuck
1 pound ground pork
4 garlic cloves* -- (4 to 6)
3 while -- smilin' eggs
1 1/2 cup bread crumbs*
fresh basil leaves***
* Or enough to hold the mixture together. Try to use leftover French or

Italian bread, and whole wheat crumbs work well also. ** Chopped very fine
*** If you have them on hand (GrandMa Rose always adds fresh basil) YIELD:
15-18 medium meatballs, or 40-45 tiny meatballs. Combine all the
ingredients in a large bowl. Toss gently with your hands until the meat
has become thoroughly blended with all the seasonings. The mixture should
be farily moist. 2. To form the meatballs, wet your hands in a small bowl
of lukewarm water and then pick up about 1/3 cup of the meatball mixture.
Roll it in the palm of your hands to form a smooth ball about 1 inch in
diameter. 3. Drop the meatballs directly into your basic tomato sauce
recipe. Or, if you prefer a crusty meatball, fry in approximately 3
tablespoons of olive oil on med heat for about 5 min, turning to brown
evenly. Then drop them into gently boiling tomato sauce as they are
browned. Meatballs take about 20 min to cook well. (Remember to scrape the
bottom of skillet and pour meat particles into sauce.)

Melanzane Sott'olio D'oliva (Marinated Eggpla
Recipe By :
Categories :
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
4 md eggplants (about 3 1/2 lbs)
1/2 cup salt
1 quart white vinegar
1 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 cup olive oil
1/4 cup chopped garlic
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 tablespoon dried oregano or
2 1/2 fresh oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1. Slice the skins off the eggplants, and slice them about 1/4 inch thick
from top to bottom. Then slice across to get pieces the size of French
fries. Put the eggplant strips in a bowl and toss with the 1/2 cup of
salt. 2. Move the eggplant strips into a colander, arraying them in a
relatively uniform layer up the sides. Put a bowl the same size as the
colander inside the colander and weigh it down with three or so pounds of
weight. [I find a foil covered common solid brick is a handy kitchen tool]
Put the entire apparatus in the sink to drain for 45 minutes. This will
remove any bitterness from the eggplant. 3. Rinse the salt off the
eggplant with cold water. Drain it well, then SQUEEZE it dry. Put the
eggplant in a bowl with the vinegar, and marinate it for 30 minutes. [It
will return to shape like a wet sponge] 4. Drain the vinegar from the
eggplant and squeeze it dry again. Put the eggplant into a bowl with all
the other ingredients. 5. Pour the contents into a canning jar. Make SURE
therre is enough olive oil to completely cover all the eggplant about 1/2
inch deep. Tightly seal and refrigerate the jar. Marinate for at least a
week; the ideal time is actually three months, and the eggplant will keep
getting better even after that.

lengthwise into 1/2" (1/4") slabs. Brush both sides of all pieces with
olive oil. Arrange (in 9x13" pan) on a cookie sheet. Bake at 400F for 15
min. Set aside. Place pinto beans or chick-peas (I used the chick peas,
next time I'd mash all of them as the whole pea texture was not exactly
what I had in mind) into a bowl or dish. Mash about half of them with a
fork. Set aside. In a large frying pan, saute the onions in 1T oil until
soft. Add the mushrooms (I used a 4 1/2oz can, drained) and garlic. Cook
until the liquid that the mushrooms have released has evaporated. Set
aside. Crumble the cheese, set aside. (I used shredded mild cheddar and
shredded Mozzarella/Provolone mix - it was what I had in the fridge.)
Slice the zucchini lengthwise into 1/4" slabs. Steam for 7 min, then
drain on a cotton towel. (I nuked mine for about 4 min total) Set aside.
To assemble, oil a 9x13" baking dish. Arrange the eggplant slices in 1
layer in the bottom. Cover with the beans. Sprinkle beans with half the
oregano (another substitution - baby started crying so since Italian
seasoning was the only one close at hand used that instead of oregano -
next time I'll try it with just oregano as suggested.) Then spread on the
mushroom mixture, and top it with a layer of cheese. Sprinkle cheese with
remaining oregano. Layer on the zucchini, then cover with tomato sauce
(here I used Ragu garden with mushroom) and crumbs. Bake at 350F for 45
min. Allow to stand for 10 min before cutting into squares and serving.
Note: You can assemble the casserole and refrigerate until ready to bake.
Bake at 350F for 35 min. If you omit the cheese, serve with a nut or seed
dessert for added protein.

2 cup long grain rice
4 cup water
1/4 pound diced mozzarella
1/2 pound chopped meat
3 eggs
1/2 medium onion -- chopped
1 tomato sauce for color
1 salt & pepper to taste
3 tablespoon grated cheese
1 garlic powder to taste
1 garlic powder to taste
1/4 cup peas
1 salt, pepper -- parsley
Wash and drain rice. Boil water in saucepan over high heat. Add the
drained rice and bring to a boil. Stir once, reduce heat to low, cover
and simmer until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is al dente and
slightly sticky, about 17 minutes. Remove from heat and cool to room
temperature. Heat oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the
onion and saute until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the chopped meat and
seasoning and saute until the meat just loses its raw color, about 5
minutes longer. Add the tomato sauce and peas and cook until the liquid
evaporates and the peas are just tender, about 10 minutes longer for fresh
peas, or about 5 minutes for thawed. In a mixing bowl, beat 2 of the eggs.
Add the cooled rice and the grated cheese and seasonings. Scoop about 3
Tbl of the rice mixture into the palm of one hand (wet hands first) and
press it out to form and even round. Place about 1/2 Tbl of the meat
mixture and one small chunk mozzarella in the center of the patty, then
gently close your hand to encase the filling in the rice. Use both hands
to roll the stuffed rice into a ball. Continue making balls until all
ingredients are used. Beat the remaining 1-2 eggs in a small bowl and pour
the bread crumbs into a small bowl. Roll each rice ball in the egg to coat
completely, then roll in the bread crumbs to cover well. Set aside until
all balls are coated. Pour oil in a deep fryer or saucepan to a depth of 4
inches. Heat to 360F. Carefully drop the rice balls, a few at a time, into
oil and fry, turning frequently, until golden brown all around, about 5
minutes. With a slotted utensil, transfer to paper toweling to drain. If
desired, place in a low oven to keep warm until all are cooked. Serve

Parboil the tripe for about 1 hour. When cool enough to handle, cut into
strips about 1"by 3". Saute onion in butter and olive oil. When they are
golden add the rest of the ingredients andmix well. Simmer for 1 1/2 to 2
hours or until tender. If needed, add a bit more water at the end to make
just a bit of sauce to soak up with some good crusty bread. Serve hot with
grated cheese on the side. Don`t forget the bread. Variation: with a few
minor adjustments, you can use this as a pasta sauce. Cut the tripe a bit
smaller and add about 4 more oz of tomato sauce and 1/2 cup of dry wine,
white or red. This will give you more sauce for the spaghetti. Don`t
