[MC-AllEthnic-Recipes] Persian Oat and Mushroom Soup - Soup-e Jo

 

                      
* Exported from MasterCook *

                Persian Oat and Mushroom Soup - Soup-e Jo

Recipe By     :
Serving Size  : 5     Preparation Time :0:00
Categories    : 

  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  1                cup  steel-cut oats
  3        tablespoons  grapeseed oil
  1                     yellow onion -- diced
  2               cups  cremini mushrooms -- thinly sliced
  2               cups  grated carrots
  1           teaspoon  ground turmeric
     1/2           cup  tomato paste
                        Sea salt
  5               cups  vegetable stock -- or water
                        To garnish: -- minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
  1                cup  milk -- any kind
     1/4           cup  freshly squeezed lime juice
                        Freshly ground black pepper
                        To garnish: -- Minced fresh flat-leaf parsley

Preheat the oven to 350°F. 
Pulse the oats in a food processor for 30 seconds to break them down, then
toast them on a dry baking sheet for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Let cool to room temperature and set aside.
Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook
for about 15 minutes, until translucent. Add the mushrooms and cook over
low heat for about 10 minutes, until they've released all of their water.
Add the oats to the saucepan along with the carrots, turmeric, tomato
paste, and 1 teaspoon salt. Pour in the stock and bring to a boil, then
lower the heat and simmer, covered, for about 30 minutes, until the oats
are very tender.
Turn off the heat and stir in the milk. The soup should be thick and
creamy. Add the lime juice, season with salt and pepper, and serve
garnished with parsley.

Serves 4 to 6

AuthorNote: This warming, tomato-infused soup was first prepared for me by
my friend Somayeh on a frosty February day. Its bilingual name, soup-e jo,
and the heavy cream that usually enhances it suggest that it's a European
import to Iran, but a shot of turmeric and a healthy dose of lime juice
make it unmistakably Persian. Although typically made with barley (jo),
this recipe calls for oats. Toasting the oats in the oven cuts their
cooking time in half and gives them a nutty flavor.

[MC-AllEthnic-Recipes] File - Ethnic Categories.txt

 


Hey group,

We hope everyones day is going great! First we want to welcome each and everyone of you to our new group. We hope you will enjoy working on this collection as much as we are looking forward to it.

Now there are a couple things we must mention. First, we intend this to finish in MasterCook format. You don't have to do it in MasterCook to begin with. It can be in MealMaster or Generic MasterCook first, but once we receive the recipes they will imediately be put into a special book for that category in MasterCook Format. Each country we have listed below will have a book just for it and it alone. Once we have 100 recipes for that country, we will then zip those 100 recipes and post it in the file section of our group under the name of the country. So the second thing we needed to mention is that it is very important that you put the countries names on your recipes. They can be either put at the end of the recipe title or in the notes or, as we do, as the category for the recipe.

If you find a recipe that is from a country not listed on here, go ahead and post it. We want any recipe that is Ethnic.

African
Australian
British
Canadian
Cajun
Caribbean
Chinese
Cornish
Creole
Diwali
Dutch
Egyptian
Ethnic (if country is not know)
Filipino
French
French Canadian
German
Greek
Hungarian
India/Indian
Indonesian
Irish
Italian
Jamaican
Japanese
Korean
Mediterranean
Mexican
Moroccan
Pennsylvania Dutch
Polynesian
Portuguese
Russian
Scottish
Southwestern
Thai
Vietnamese

We hope everyone can have fun with this. We think it is wonderful to try recipes from different parts of the world. Hopefully you all feel the same way. As recipe collectors, the collecting itself is very exciting.

Thanks for all your help,

Mary Lynne

[MC-AllEthnic-Recipes] Bell Pepper Rajas (mastercook)

 

@@@@@
Bell Pepper Rajas

1 large green bell pepper, seeded and cut into lengthwise 1/4" strips
1 large red bell pepper, seeded and cut into lengthwise 1/4" strips
1 large yellow onion cut into lengthwise 1/4" strips
2 TBSP extra virgin olive oil
2 large cloves of garlic, smashed and peeled
Generous pinch of coarse kosher salt
Generous pinch of black pepper
Generous pinch of sugar
1/4 cup water

Warm the oil in a large saute pan over medium low heat; add the garlic. When
it begins to sizzle, add the peppers and seasonings. When the peppers have
begun to soften; add the onion and stir well to combine. When the onions
have begun to soften, add the water. Cover and allow to steam for about 10
minutes, after which time uncover and allow any excess moisture to
evaporate, again, being very careful not to brown the vegetables.
Use gentle heat; you don't want any browning on the vegetables whatsoever,
just soft, luscious, sweet vegetable relish for a contorno or sandwich
condiment.

[MC-AllEthnic-Recipes] Tamarind Date Chutney - Persian Torshi-e Khorma - 34g Carbohydrate; 4g Dietary Fiber; 4 pts plus

 

                      
* Exported from MasterCook *

             Tamarind Date Chutney - Persian Torshi-e Khorma

Recipe By     :
Serving Size  : 12    Preparation Time :0:00
Categories    : Condiment                       LowCal (Less than 300 cals)
                LowerCarbs                      LowFat (Less than 10%)
                Vegan

  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  1                cup  Thai tamarind concentrate -- strained to remove grit
     1/3           cup  freshly squeezed lime juice -- plus more if needed
  2        tablespoons  sumac
  1           teaspoon  kosher salt
  2             cloves  garlic -- minced
  1              piece  fresh ginger -- one-inch, peeled and minced
     1/2      teaspoon  ground cinnamon
  1              pound  Medjool dates -- pitted

In a large bowl, whisk the tamarind with the lime juice, sumac, kosher
salt, garlic, ginger, and cinnamon. Add the dates and toss well.
Transfer the mixture to a clean glass jar and add more lime juice as
needed to cover any exposed dates. Seal and store in the refrigerator.
Shake every few days to break up the crystallization. The dates will be
ready to eat in 6 weeks and will last for about 6 months in the
refrigerator.

Makes about 3 cups

This sublime condiment brings together tamarind, lime, ginger, cinnamon,
and sugary dates. Once pickled in the tamarind, the dates crystallize and
dissolve into a soft paste similar to a chutney. After 6 weeks, the
pronounced salty flavor of the sumac will mellow, and you can enjoy this
fragrant pickle on everything from burgers to fish to cheese. For an easy
hors d'oeuvre, spread it on a cracker and top it with lime powder—seasoned
grilled shrimp  and a fresh green herb. The chutney will separate slightly
over time, so stir it from the bottom before serving to bring out all its
tart lime goodness.

[MC-AllEthnic-Recipes] Persian Fig Mustard - 28g Carbohydrate; 3g Dietary Fiber; 4 pts plus

 

                      
* Exported from MasterCook *

                          Fig Mustard - Persian

Recipe By     :
Serving Size  : 12    Preparation Time :0:00
Categories    : Condiment                       LowCal (Less than 300 cals)
                LowerCarbs                      LowFat (Less than 20%)
                Vegan

  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  8             ounces  dried figs -- stemmed and halved
  1                cup  water -- boiling
     1/2           cup  mustard seeds
  1         tablespoon  kosher salt
  1                cup  organic cane sugar
     1/2           cup  freshly squeezed lemon juice

Combine the figs and water in a small saucepan. Return to a boil, then
cover and simmer for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a hot, dry skillet, toast the mustard seeds for 30 seconds,
then quickly transfer to a plate to stop the cooking. When cool, grind the
mustard into powder. Add the mustard to the figs and cook over low heat
for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. The mixture should be bubbling
gently.
Transfer the figs to a food processor and pulse until smooth. Return the
figs to the saucepan and place over medium-high heat. Add the sugar and
lemon juice and bring to a boil, stirring continually, until the mixture
comes to a boil and the sugar dissolves. Let cool to room temperature.
Transfer to a clean glass jar and let cool completely. Seal with a lid and
refrigerate. The spread is ready to eat right away and will last for about
6 months in the refrigerator.

Makes about 1 1/2 cups (12 two-tablespoon servings)

Half mustard and half jam, this sweet and spicy fig spread is textured
with tiny, supple fig seeds that tease the tongue. Its pungent fruit
essence complements a platter of rich cheese and lends a sweet acidity to
sandwiches and salad dressings. Toasting the mustard seeds helps to bring
their flavor to life, but just 30 seconds is plenty of time—they can burn
quickly. Use either a mortar and pestle or a spice grinder to coarsely
grind the mustard seeds.
