Chanukah recipes

[Guest guest]

I can't find my files with my actual recipes but here are a few that I found in

some other files. I have not tried them yet but they look good enough to make

this year. Sorry they aren't in actual Mastercook, but they are formatted for

it.

 

Here is the first recipe:

CHANUKKAH FRITTERS

|

Classic Cuisine of the Italian Jews by Edda Servi Machlin

|

2 envelopes active dry yeast

1 cup warm water

2.5 cups unbleached flour

1 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons anise seeds

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 cup dark raisins

1 cup olive oil, for frying

1.5 cups honey

2 tablespoons lemon juice

|

Dissolve yeast in warm water. Combine flour, salt & anise

seeds in bowl. Gradually add the dissolved yeast & the olive

oil, mixing until a rather soft dough is formed. Turn out onto

a floured work surface. Knead about 10 minutes or until dough is smooth &

elastic.

 

Spread the raisins and knead the dough over them until they

have all been incorporated into the dough. Shape into a ball,

cover with a clean kitchen towel & let rise in a warm place

for 1 hour or until double in bulk.

 

With the palms of your hands, flatten to about 1/2 inch

thickness. Let rest uncovered for 15 minutes. With a sharp

knife, cut into 36 diamonds.

 

Heat the oil in a deep saucepan & fry a few diamonds at a time, turning, until

golden on both sides. Transfer to a paper towel to drain.

 

Heat the honey in a saucepan with 2 tbsp of lemon juice & boil for 3 minutes.

Arrange frittelle on a serving plate & pour the hot honey over them. Yield: 10

servings. From www.culinary.net/cgi-bin/iccentry.cgi
