4 tb Butter, unsalted 2 lb Crayfish; cleaned, shelled 1 Onions; chopped fine 2 Garlic cloves; chopped 1 Fennel sprig; (optional) 1 sm Pepper, hot; left whole 4 c Water 1 c Milk, coconut 2 Egg yolks Salt; to taste Heat butter in heavy saucepan and add crayfish, onion and garlic. Saute over medium heat until the crayfish have changed color, about 5 minutes. Add the fennel, hot pepper and water. Cover and cook at a gentle simmer for 30 minutes. Remove and discard the fennel and the hot pepper. Remove the crayfish and pound in a mortar and push through a fine sieve or reduce to a puree in an electric blender with a little of the stock.

1 c Feta cheese, drained, Crumbled, and packed into The measuring cup 1/2 c Unbleached, all-purpose Flour 1 Egg, beaten 6 Bay leaves 2 tb Honey 1) Put the cheese into a medium sized mixing bowl. Mash well with the fingers until it becomes a smooth, lumpless paste. Add the flour and mix well with the fingers. Add the beaten egg and mix well. The dough will be rather sticky. 2) Divide the dough into two equal parts, then form two round, flat, 1/2 inch thick loaves. Lay each on three bay leaves set on a greased baking sheet, and bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for 1 to 1-1/2 hours, or until cooked through. 3) Remove the loaves from the oven, spread the tops with the honey, and let cool. Remove the bay leaves before serving. NOTE: If feta cheese is unavailable, use 1 cup cottage cheese and add 1/4 cup extra flour (but the taste is inferior). |

Text Only Got some cucumbers languishing in the fridge? Probably won't be after you see the next four posts... Raitas or yoghurt salads provide a cool and refreshing contrast to hot curries in an Indian meal. However, raitas like this one can also be used as a dip for crudites or as a light lunch served with naan or paratha breads. Peel 500 g cucumber and halve lengthwise. out the seeds and slice the cucumber finely, about 3 mm thick. Have ready a large pot of boiling water and bowl of ice-cold water. Drop the cucumber to the boiling water for 2 minutes, then scoop out and into the cold water. (Using a deep-fry basket makes this easier.) Drain the cucumber and dry it thoroughly. In a bowl, mix 500 mL yoghurt (low fat can used), salt to taste, 1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley, 2 tablespoons of finely chopped dill, 2 tablespoons of toasted and chopped walnuts or pecan nuts, 1/3 cup of grated fresh coconut (or use dried shredded coconut pre moistened with about one and a tablespoons of boiling water) and 1 hot chopped finely. When well blended, stir in the the cucumber. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a small pan, then add two teaspoons of black mustard seeds. When the mustard seeds sizzle and turn grey, tip seeds and oil into the cucumber mixture and stir well. Refrigerate for an hour or so to allow the flavours to blend. Makes 5 or 6 servings.
