Scott's Spicy Tofu Crisps

Thanks to Scott for the recipe.

Spicy Tofu Crisps

1 entire bulb of garlic smashed and chopped (chopped garlic from a jar is OK)
1 package of firm tofu
sesame oil
cayenne pepper
teriyaki sauce (soy, tamari or Bragg’s can be substituted)
sesame seeds

Cut the tofu into 1/4” slices and place between two towels. Press the water out of the tofu by putting a cutting board on top of the towels – and then something heavy on the cutting board. Set aside for 10 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Place several tablespoons of sesame oil on a cookie sheet. Lightly coat each rectangle of tofu and spread out on cookie sheet. Edges of tofu can touch if necessary. Lightly douse the tofu with teriyaki sauce (about a teaspoon per rectangle). Cover each rectangle of tofu with garlic, sesame seeds and a dash of cayenne (to taste). Bake in oven until garlic and tofu begins to brown (about 30 minutes).

My family just loves my Garlic Turkey. It is very easy and a sure-fire hit.

1 can of chicken broth
1 stick of margarine
3 Tablespoons of garlic
4 sprigs of fresh celery leaves
1 sprig of fresh rosemary
2 sprigs of fresh sage
1 Tablespoon of poultry seasoning
baby carrots
salt and pepper to taste

Cover and cook at 425 for first half hour then reduce heat to 350. Baste every 30 mins until done.

After done strain broth from pan. (A fat reducer works best to remove the margarine) Make rue with flour and cold water. Add rue to boiling broth on top of stove, stirring constantly.

Meat Sticks

Mr. Anchovy has a delicious recipe for Meat Sticks.
Here it is:
Cut up a quantity or pork and veal into 1 and a quarter inch cubes (more or less)....you can use any cut of meat you like....I usually get inexpensive roasts and cut them up.
Chop up a hand-full of garlic and mix it in with the meat. Add a bottle of beer, or if you want to get fancy, you can use sherry. Let the mixture marinate in the fridge overnight.
Meanwhile, you have to get the right sticks....these are wooden skewers that are about 6 inches long.....those really long skinny ones won't do. I get mine at Czehowski's on the Queensway.
Next day......skewer the meat such that you cover as much of the sticks as you can. Alternate pork and veal....or often I use all pork, which is really just as good.
Roll the meat sticks in a bowl filled with lightly beaten eggs, then roll them in a mixture of breadcrumbs, salt and pepper.
Brown them in a skillet in vegetable oil until they have good colour.
Lay out a few sticks of celery on the bottom of a roasting pan.
Stack the meat sticks such that the celery keeps them off the bottom of the pan.
Roast for about 45 minutes in a 350 or 375 oven.

Enjoy hot, with a cold beer.

Sarah's Ceasar Dressing

On Saturday I went to Julia's 25th birthday party. It was so much fun. There were hamburgers, hot dogs and a delicious garlic-intensive caesar salad, which I got the recipe for.
There were two guys speaking French and miraculously, after 5 beers I started speaking French with them. I was a bit surprised with myself since I thought I had forgotten all the French I learned when I went to school in Switzerland. Well, apparently not. I asked them (in French of course) where they were from and they said from France. Now, no wonder I understood everything they said and could carry on a conversation with them, THEY WERE NOT FROM QUEBEC!

Here's the recipe:
Marinate 4 cloves of garlic (sliced in half) in oil 24 hours in advance.

Ingredients:
1/4 cup red onion (chopped)
1 cup oil (preferably olive oil)
1 cup parmesan cheese
2 lemons
1 tbsp. garlic powder
1 tsp oregano
5 cloves garlic
1 egg
anchovies, if you want (the salad that I ate had the anchovies on the side, just in case some people didn't like them)

Directions:
Mix together oil, cheese, onion, garlic powder, oregano & egg.
Crush 1 clove of garlic into mixture.
Squeeze juice from lemons into the mix.
Add the anchovies.

I really, really recommend this dressing, just thinking of it makes my stomach growl. It is so delicious.
