Greek Meatballs Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1 large onion, finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1kg (2 1/4 pound) lean minced beef or lamb
  • 2 cups unseasoned breadcrumbs, moistened in about 3/4 cup warm water
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped mint
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons Ouzo (optional)
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
  • Plain flour
  • 1 cup olive oil and corn oil mixed

Directions:

  • Fry onions with vegetable oil over low heat until golden. Remove to a large mixing bowl.
  • Add meat and all other ingredients except flour and olive/corn oil mix. Knead for about 10 minutes or until mixture is a smooth paste.
  • Heat the oil mix in a large frying pan to the point of fragrance.
  • Meanwhile, start to shape mixture into balls about the size of a large marble by rolling lightly between palms of hands, I suggest that you do them in batches of say 12 - 16, each batch being enough to space evenly but separately in the frying pan.
  • As each meatball is formed place them on a large plate which has been liberally covered with plain flour. When the batch is finished lightly roll the meatball in the flour. At this point the oil in the frying pan should be just ready.
  • Put the batch of meatball into the pan (use kitchen tongs as the oil is very hot).
  • Start on your second batch of meatballs, make them and place them on the floured plate. At this point it is time to turn the meatballs over and when you have completed this roll the second batch in the flour.
  • Now it is time to remove the first batch from the frying pan using a slotted spoon or kitchen tongs and place on paper towels to drain.
  • Put the second batch of meatballs into the pan to cook and carry on with the process until you have finished the mixture.

Diabetic Meat-Filled Dumplings

Ingredients
4 cup flour, all-purpose
1 1/2 cup water
1/2 pound beef, ground
2 teaspoon soy sauce, low-sodium
1 teaspoon sherry
2 cup spinach, fresh, chopped, or 1 c frozen spinach, thawed
1 teaspoon ginger, fresh, grated
1/4 cup water chestnut, finely minced
2 each onions, green, chopped
Directions:

Mix flour and water. Add more water a teaspoon at a time until dough cleans bowl. Turn it out on a floured board; knead smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap, and set aside for 20 minutes.

Brown and drain ground beef of all fat. Wash and dry fresh spinach, or dry frozen spinach. Combine with ground beef and remaining ingredients. Mix well.

Form dough into a long roll 1 inch in diameter. Cut or break into 1 inch sections. With your hands or a large glass, flatten each piece into a circle 3 inches in diameter. Place 1 tablespoon of filling in the center of each circle. With a finger dipped in water, dampen the edge of the circle. Fold the dough over the filling and press to seal.

Brush a nonstick frying pan with 1/2 teaspoon oil. Place the dumplings in the pan and brown them on each side. Add enough broth or water to come up to a third of the height of the dumplings. Cover pan tightly, and steam until water is all gone - about 15 to 20 minutes. Serve the dumplings hot or cold with sherry or vinegar for dipping.

Here’s another of the Winners series. This one might be a bit time consuming, buy there aren’t any really exotic ingredients and, unless you get into garnishing it the way it shows in the book, not too much hassle. These are “mock” chicken legs++a minced mixture of meat and seafood rolled up and deep fried. I’d use the rice paper option for wrappers as they are readily available, at least around here. The basket garnish is an incredibly fussy little number actually woven from strips of potatoes. I’d use the two seive potato nest trick for that part if I bothered at all. The small crabs that go into the basket really are small crabs++ about two inches across the shell. They look neat, but add nothing to the dish aside from that. Establishment. Bui Hang Village Restaurant hotel Miramar) UG/F., Princess Wing, Hotel Miramar, 130 Nathan Road, @Tsimshatsui, Kowloon. Chinese Cuisine Practical Class Platinum Award - Meat “South of the Yangtse River Crispy Leg” sounds prosaic in English, but to a Chinese the geographic description has many happy associations++ scenic beauty, ancient traditions, a land where poets found peace. The promise of crispy legs in the dish evokes the image of Cantonese favorite - crispy chicken drumsticks yet the diner senses that there is a surprise treat in the dish. 1. Optional basket garnish: Steam crabs and put aside. Form

potatoes into basket shapes. This can be done by peeling them into long strips, which are then interwoven’, and sealed with cornstarch paste. Deep-fry baskets over medium flame until golden. 2. Slice all filling ingredients at an angle, and cut into dia- mond shapes (which creates a better texture). Season with seasoning mixture. 3. Slice bamboo shoots into 12 strips each 5 cms long and 0.5 cms wide. 4. Divide pork caul lining into 12 triangular pieces (large enough to wrap “legs”). Cut ham into 24 strips. On to each pork caul lining lay one sprig of coriander, 2 strips of ham, and 1/12 of the diamond-cut filling ingredients. Place one strip of bamboo shoot on top, with half of it left outside wrapping. Fold and mould each filled pork caul lining into leg shape. 5. Mix coating ingredients with 2 tbs water, and coat each “leg” with the paste. 6. Mix Hoisin sauce with water, and simmer till thickened. To cook Carefully slide “legs” into medium-hot oil (sufficient to deep-fry all twelve at same time), with folded “leg” ends facing centre of wok. Deep-fry for 3 minutes, then increase heat a little and continue deep- frying for a further 3 minutes. To present 1. Lay “legs” on a paper doily in serving dish, arranging the potato baskets and crabs as a central garnish. 2. Serve the Hoisin sauce mixture on the side.
