CHICKEN FOLFIAZI

4 lbs. chicken
4 tomatoes
4 sm. onions
1 lg. knob fresh ginger (3 tbsp.)
4 cloves garlic
100 gr ghee oil (cooking oil will do)
2 1/2 tsp. coriander
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 tsp. grahm marsala (or curry may be used)
2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. turmeric
1/2 pkg. frozen peas

16 ounce can of tomatoes can be used.
Skin and bone chicken; sliver. Marinade in 2 tablespoons lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon salt for 2 hours. Fry onions, ginger, and garlic in oil for 5 minutes until slightly brown. Add chicken; cook, uncovered, 15-20 minutes; stir frequently. Add tomatoes and peas; cook 5 minutes. Add spices - pepper, coriander, turmeric, salt, and gram marsala or curry. Garnish with chopped coriander and serve with rice and pita bread.

This is somewhat adapted from The Enchanted Broccoli Forest by Mollie Katzen. The muffins are not sweet, so they are an antidote to the overly-sticky Costco muffins. I use an extra-large muffin tin that makes six instead of twelve.

Preheat oven to 350.

1 cup rolled oats (not instant)
3/4 cup minced walnuts (or pecans)

Toast oats & nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for ten minutes, stirring frequently. (Do not skip this step.)

Combine in bowl
1 cup white flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt

Add toasted oats & nuts to flour mixture.

Melt together
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons honey

Add melted butter-honey to flour-oat mixture, along with one cup milk or buttermilk and one slightly beaten egg. Mix just enough to combine all ingredients; do not beat. Spoon into greased muffin tin. If using a tin that makes 12 regular-sized muffins, bake 20-25 minutes. If making six large muffins, this only takes about 12-15 minutes (weird but true).

I actually like these plain without any butter, but they would be good with butter, honey, or jam.

Apple Crisp (considerably adapted from The Moosewood Cookbook)

6-8 apples, washed, cored, sliced thin
1/2 to 2/3 cup brown sugar

Combine and spread into a baking dish about 9" X 11".

For the topping:
2 cups rolled oats
3/4 flour
1/3 cup honey or maple syrup, melted together with
1 stick butter

Mix together and spread over apples. Bake at 375 for 40-45 minutes.Cover with foil if it browns too quickly.

Notes: if apples are very juicy, or were frozen, you may need to add some tapioca or flour.
Chopped nuts and/or coconut are good mixed into the topping.

This was taken and slightly adapted from the Christine Lavin song of the same name, in which she gives directions for making same. It kicks butt over all the other overnight French toast recipes I have tried; this is moist and tender, with no dry spots or other pitfalls, except high cholesterol. It would make a very good dessert, with lemon or whiskey sauce rather than maple syrup.

9 eggs
2 3/4 cups milk
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Combine all ingredients. Then tear up half a loaf of plain white bread (French, Italian, challah, whatever) and put the bread in a buttered baking dish. Pour the egg mixture over. Smoosh the bread into the egg to wet it. Sprinkle with freshly ground nutmeg. Cover and put in the fridge.

In the morning put the dish in a COLD oven, then turn oven to 350. After 30 minutes remove cover and bake another 35 minutes. This will be browned and puffed up. Eat with bacon or sausage, maple syrup, and butter.
