Betelnut's Stir-fried Vegetables

or


Shitake Happens

Serves 4 - 6 as side dish

Ingredients

1 lb. fresh snow peas, ends and string removed
8 - 10 dried Black Chinese Mushrooms, or Shitake, soaked in water for
1/2 hour, then squeezed by hand to remove excess liquid*
1 medium-size summer squash, zucchini, parboiled carrot or veggie of choice
1/2 Cup canned water chestnuts, drained
2-3 rbsp. peanut or sunlite oil
1 scant tsp. salt (optional) or mixture of equal amounts of soy sauce to sherry

Instructions

Heat oil in wok or large saute pan over high heat until smoking.

Add snowpeas and stir-fry vigorously for about 30 seconds, then add Black Mushrooms and stir-fry veggies for about 1 minute more.

Add water chestnuts and sprinkle salt over all veggies. Stir-fry everything for another minute or so -- taste a snowpea to determine when it's done -- veggies should still be crunchy!

Serve as a side dish, or as a main course over steamed white or brown rice. Instead of salt, sherry-soy, or grated ginger to taste, you may prefer Weir's Hot Sauce if you want to add a little spice to your life!

* AKA Forest Mushroom, Golden Oak Mushroom, Oriental Mushroom, Black or Shitake Shroom (grows on fallen or cut oak trees, cultivated on oak to ensure the fresh garlic-pine aroma. If they are odorless they are not fresh.) In religions where meat is forbidden, such as Buddhism, Black Shroom, or Shitakes are often used as a meat substitute. They cook in any recipe that calls for the Button Shroom.

GREEN BELLS FROM CHRIS


When I was at Hunter’s or Willie LeGate’s, Chris came up from Los Angeles and prepared this dish for everyone in the house at that time. We had a wait of about a couple of hours. At the time Neal was very nervous because he never ate out, with few exceptions, during the day.

Ingredients

4-6 Green Bells or 1 dozen Red Baby Bells 1 medium onion, chopped
Fresh pressed garlic cloves (a few)
2 Tablespoons olive oil
Ground check, about 3 lbs.
2 Tablespoon red wine
¼ cup Sun-dried tomatoes with oil
1/3 cup finely grated Parmigiano cheese
3 Tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
2 Tablespoons olive oil
Croutons or spice breadcrumbs

Directions

Oven @ 350°F

Filling – Sauté onion and garlic together in oil in a heavy skillet over moderate heat.
Then lower heat and add 1 – 2 tablespoons of red wine while stirring to golden colour, up to 8 minutes. Transfer from skillet to large bowl. Stir in remaining ingredients for filling, one at a time, reserving 2 tbs. oil and the croutons. Mix all until combined well.

Stuff and bake green bells - Cut tops from bells (keep stems on tops) and set aside. (If you prefer to remove skins, find a recipe for Broiler Roasted Bells at Martha Stewart’s page: http://www.marthastewart.com/page.jhtml?type=content&id=radio2298) Cut a very thin slice from bottom of each pepper so it can stand upright in baking pan. Clean bells, discard seeds, and cover inside with a thin coat of oil. Add filling to ½ and sprinkle with a thin layer of croutons (broken) or breadcrumbs. If desired, sprinkle with Parmigiano cheese. Divide remaining filling up and add to each bell. Cover with reserved tops, and place on oiled baking pan. Add small about of water to pan and drizzle bells with oil.
Bake, uncovered, in middle of oven until peppers are tender at about 350°F.
When filling is puffed (about 50 minutes) remove from oven and cool. Serve with fresh garden salad and vinaigrette.

Stuffing ~ Vegetarian Preferred

Substitute long and short grain brown rice or use jade white rice with white wine, instead of ground chuck with the filling. Cooked rice seasoned with Miso or Tamari. Small shaved ginger slices added if desired. If interested in experimenting, sample baked bells with an eggplant-chick pea puree substitute for crouton/bread crumbs layer or try a variation with zucchini-mushroom-red onion puree for a real change of pace.

Pineapple rings
Cloves (whole)
Glaze

For baking, allow 15 minutes per pound for hams, 12 pounds or over; allow 18 minutes per pound for hams, under 12 pounds; allow 22 minutes per pound for half hams; or bake to an internal temperature of 150 degrees F., being sure bulb of thermometer is inserted into center of thickest part of meat and does not touch bone. Bake in slow oven (300 degrees F.) until within 45 minutes of total baking time.

Remove from oven. Make a series of shallow cuts across fat to cut into squares or diamonds, spread with desired glaze and on a line across the top of the ham, insert 1 whole clove into the middle of a pineapple ring, alternate with a cherry in the center of pineapple, and so on, to cover every square inch possible. Bake uncovered in 325 degree F. oven for remaining 45 minutes. Add butter on top or another glaze bath if desired. Ideal buffet addition, main course, or you may wish to follow with the main course, according to your menu plan.

SPINACH FETTUCCINI
with Shiitake Mushrooms

Jefferson Airplane

Spinach fettuccine is a good pasta choice for this boldly flavored dish. The deep, earthy taste of the shiitake mushrooms is heightened by the sun-dried tomatoes; the toasted pine nuts add nutty sweetness, and the quickly wilted spinach lightens all the flavors.

1/2 pound fresh shiitake mushrooms
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/2 pound spinach fettuccine
1 small bunch of spinach, stems removed and leaves washed, 4 cups packed
3 oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained and thinly sliced
1 tablespoon pine nuts, toasted
2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs: marjoram, chives, and thyme
Grated Parmesan cheese

Set a large pot of water on the stove to boil. Remove the mushroom stems and cut the caps into 1/2-inch slices. Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large sauté pan; add the mushrooms, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and a few pinches of pepper. Sauté over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes, then add the garlic and wine. Cook for a minute or two to reduce the wine, but not completely; leave a little liquid in the pan to keep the mushrooms from sticking.

When the water boils, add 1 teaspoon salt. Add the pasta to the boiling water, and while it's cooking add the spinach to the mushrooms along with 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few pinches of pepper. Sauté over medium heat 1 minute, until the spinach is just wilted, then reduce the heat and add sun-dried tomatoes, the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, and 1/4 cup of the pasta cooking water to loosen the pan juices.

The pasta should be just tender at this point; drain it in a colander and add it to the sauté pan along with the pine nuts and herbs. Toss everything together and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve with freshly grated Parmesan.

Serves two to four
