                      Jerusalem Basmati Rice & Orzo
Recipe By     :
Serving Size  : 6     Preparation Time :0:00
Categories    : LowCal (Less than 300 cals)     LowFat (Less than 25%)
  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  1 1/3           cups  basmati rice
  1         Tablespoon  melted unsalted butter -- or ghee
  1         Tablespoon  sunflower oil
     1/2           cup  orzo -- scant
  2 1/2           cups  stock -- chicken is tractional, so do use a faux chik'n
  1           teaspoon  salt
 
Wash the basmati rice well, then place in a large bowl and cover with
plenty of water. Allow it to soak for 30 minutes, then drain.
Heat the ghee and oil over medium-high heat in a medium-heavy-bottomed
saucepan for which you have a lid. Add the orzo and saute for 3 to 4
minutes, until the grains turn dark golden. add the stock, bring to a
boil, and cook for 3 minutes. Add the drained rice and salt, bring to a
gentle boil, stir once or twice, cover the pan, and simmer over very low
heat for 15 minutes. Don't be tempted to uncover the pan; you'll need to
allow the rice to steam properly.
 
Turn off the heat, remove the lid, and quickly cover the pan with a clean
tea towel. Place the lid back on top of the towel and leave for 10
minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
 
Serves 6
 
AuthorNote: Long grain rice, cooked simply with plain vermicelli noodles,
is common all over the Levant and Turkey. Its neutral flavor and playful
textures make an effective background for various stews, soups, and
salads. Our version uses orzo - tiny rice-shaped pasta - but you can use
vermicelli. Just don't fry them as long, as they burn quickly. Try this
and you may not want to cook plain rice ever again.
 
Bukharan Jews, a substantial community in Jerusalem, make a pilaf with
plenty of spices (ginger, clove, cardamom, cinnamon), lots of mint,
raisins, and peas. It is a luxurious and rich dish, appropriate for a
previously wealthy Jewish community that had built its won neighborhood
when its members started coming to Palestine in the late nineteenth and
early twentieth century, wearing unusual embroidered clothes, adorned with
jewelry. Later on, after the Russian Revolution, many lost their wealth
and he neighborhood lost much of its past glory, but the food remains as
spectacular and vibrant.

[MC-AllEthnic-Recipes] Jerusalem Balilah - Palestinian Chickpea Streetfood ; 34g Carbohydrate; 10g Dietary Fiber

 

                     
* Exported from MasterCook *
           Jerusalem Balilah - Palestinian Chickpea Streetfood
Recipe By     :
Serving Size  : 4     Preparation Time :0:00
Categories    : LowCal (Less than 300 cals)     LowerCarbs
                Veggie
  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  1                cup  dried chickpeas
  1           teaspoon  baking soda
  1                cup  chopped parsley
  2                     green onions -- thinly sliced
  1              large  lemon
  3        Tablespoons  olive oil
  2 1/2      teaspoons  ground cumin
                        salt and freshly ground black pepper
 
 
The night before, put the chickpeas in a large bowl and cover with cold
water at least twice their volume. Add the baking soda and leave at room
temperature to soak overnight.
 
Drain the chickpeas and place them in a large saucepan. Cover with plenty
of cold water and place over high heat. Bring to a boil, skim the surface
of the water, then decrease the heat and simmer for 1 to 1 1/2 hours,
until the chickpeas are very soft but still retain their shape.
 
While the chickpeas are cooking, put the parsley and green onions in a
large mixing bowl. Peel the lemon by topping and tailing it, placing on a
board, and running a small sharp knife along its curves to remove the skin
and white pith. Discard the skin, pith, and seeds and coarsely chop the
flesh. Add the flesh and all of the juices to the bowl.
 
Once the chickpeas are ready, drain and add them to the bowl while they
are still hot. Add the olive oil, cumin, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and a good
grind of pepper. Mix well. Allow to cool down until just warm, taste for
seasoning, and serve.
 
Serves 4
 
AuthorNote: On the corner of the souk in the Old City stood the very
popular 'balilah' man. He had large piles of freshly cooked chickpeas on
his stall, steaming and beautifully decorated with parsley and lemon. Like
a magician, he used to whip the balilah into a newspaper cone in a flash
and serve it to the eager customer.
Balilah is a popular Palestinian street food consisting of fresh chickpeas
seasoned with cumin and lemon juice and it makes the most gratifying
snack. Curiously, in the Jewish Orthodox neighborhood of Me'ah She'arim, a
cheap and cheerful snack called 'arbes' is sold. It is just like balilah,
only seasoned with black pepper instead of cumin. It, too, is highly
popular.

Balilah can be eaten warm, not hot, or at room temperature as a little
between-meal snack. It is also delicious served next to grilled
[favorites], or can be turned into a salad by adding some leaves, feta,
and diced tomatoes.

* Exported from MasterCook *
                            Easy Peanut Sauce
Recipe By     :
Serving Size  : 6     Preparation Time :0:00
Categories    : Condiment                       LowCal (Less than 300 cals)
                LowerCarbs                      Vegan
  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
     1/2           cup  creamy peanut butter
     1/4           cup  soy sauce
  3        Tablespoons  rice vinegar
  1 1/2    Tablespoons  light brown sugar
  2        Tablespoons  toasted sesame oil
  2          teaspoons  grated fresh ginger
     1/2      teaspoon  Asian chile paste
                        water
 
 
In a medium bowl, combine the peanut butter, soy sauce, vinegar and sugar.
Add the oil, ginger, and chile paste and stir until smooth and well
blended.
 
Taste to adjust seasonings, adding more chile paste if you prefer more
heat. Add as much water as desired to each preferred consistency. Use
immediately or cover tightly and refrigerate until needed. Properly stored
this sauce will keep for several days.

AuthorNote: I adore peanut sauce for its great flavor and amazing
versatility, whether using it as a dip for veggies or fried tofu or as a
sauce for pasta. Why pay more for bottled peanut sauce when you can make
your own on the cheap with this easy recipe?

[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
