02-20 Hoisin Turkey Rice or Quinoa

When I read some culinary mysteries, I really didn't think I would like the recipes but I liked DMD's. As I have made this for a few years, my favorite version has changed from the original recipe. I, of course, think its an improvement. =)

Bring to a boil:
2 c chicken stock
then add:
1 c wild rice blend OR combine brown & white rice OR quinoa
cover and reduce to simmer 15-20 minutes. (less is for quinoa)

In separate pan, lightly toast over medium heat, watching carefully:
1/2 c pine nuts
Set aside. This is optional, I have used sliced almonds, also.

Sauté:
sesame oil or canola oil
1/2 colored bell pepper
3 carrots, diced
when they are softened, add:
handful of deli turkey, cubed*
*OR Brown in separate pan:
1/2 - 1 lb ground turkey breast (make sure you read the label for breast meat)
then add to vegetables.
1/2 c edamame, thawed
and/or:
1/2 c petite peas, thawed
7 - 12 oz Hoisin Sauce
(on the Asian aisle)
When heated through, add pine nuts and remove from heat.
Stir with desired amount of cooked grain - add more hoisin sauce if needed.

Nicola's Fisk

 Cousins in Sweden served a fish meal that B really liked!  [That is a huge compliment as it's not her favorite protein.]  Nic makes it without a recipe so this is a general guide.  Layer a casserole with a bed of zucchini slices and add a layer cod pieces . Mix chopped flat leaf parsley (handful), softened butter (abt. 2 T), horseradish sauce (abt. 1 T) with a brick (8 oz) of cream cheese.  {It is easier if the ingredients are room temperature} Cover fish with sauce and bake for about 25 minutes at about 325-350 degrees [Swedish measurements are not equivalent]  Thin sauce with milk if needed. Serve with new baby potatoes baked in butter and dill and salt.

Swedish almond cake = nötkaka

How did I miss putting this recipe on here years ago?! There are several versions. The original here is from the Swedish classic Sju Sorters Kakor. For presentation it is baked in a special ribbed pan - widely available and not expensive - called a Swedish/Rehrucken/Almond cake loaf pan.  They are about 4.75 x 12.25 inches & 2 inches deep.  It also works in a similarly sized baking dish or cake round, you just won't have the ribbed design.  Prepare cake pan with a light coating of oil or oil spray, as you want to be able to invert it after baking to present it with the pattern. Sprinkle sliced almonds into the bottom of the pan before pouring the batter into it.  Recipe:  Beat together until light and fluffy = "vit och skummig":  2/3 c - 1 1/4 c unbleached cane sugar (depending on how sweet you want it) 1/2 c softened unsalted butter Beat in, one at a time:   1 egg & 2//3 c milk OR 2 eggs Combine the dry ingredients:  1 1/2 t almond e...
