Budin de Maiz by Jessica Prentice PDF Print E-mail
Recipes
Thursday, 06 September 2007
Budin means pudding in Spanish, but often refers to a savory dish. This is a delicious way to enjoy summer's corn, and is a great thing to bring to a potluck or picnic.
Butter
1/2 dried ancho chili pepper, seeds and stem removed
1/4 c. boiling filtered water
4 cobs fresh corn
1 small bunch of scallions, minced
3 eggs
1/2 c. cream, half-and-half, or whole milk
1/2 t. salt, or to taste
Plenty of freshly ground pepper
Procedure:
1. Butter a small, ceramic baking dish and preheat the oven to 300 degrees
2.  Put the ancho chili in a small dish and pour boiling water over it.
2. Cut the kernels off the corn cobs into a shallow wide-bottomed bowl or baking dish.  Scrape the corn 'milk; off the cobs by scraping with back side of the knife down the cobs towards the kernels. The should produce a milky, corny slush that will add to the flavor.
3.  Add the scallions to the corn as well.
4  In a SEPARATE bowl, gently beat the eggs with the cream, salt and pepper.  I always taste  my raw egg mixture to make sure it is salty enough.  It should be a little on the salty side.
5.  Remove the ancho from the soaking water, mince well, and add this to the corn mixture and mix well.
6.  Train the soaking water into the egg mixture.
7. Pour the egg mixture over the corn mixture and stir well to combine.  Pour this int the h buttered baking dish and bake at 300 degrees until set, which will probably take about 50-60 minutes.
8. Serve4, or more as part of a larger meal.

Cold Sorrel Soup from The Revolution Will Not Be Microwaved- Sandor Katz PDF Print E-mail
Recipes
Wednesday, 05 September 2007
Cold Sorrel Soup also called Shav:
1 lb. potatoes (mealy potatoes may be best)
1 lb. sorrel (a perennial green that you can grow easily in your garden)
1 T butter or oil
salt to taste
sour cream

Peel and coarsely chop the potatoes.
Clean the sorrel and separate the leaves from the fibrous stalks.  Tie the stalks into a bundle with cheesecloth, and boil them with the chopped potatoes for about 15 minutes in 3 1/2 quarts of water.

Meanwhile, chop the sorrel leaves and saute them in butter or oil for just amoment, until they wilt.
Remove the bundle of stalks from the stock, squeeze any excess water from the stalks into the stock, and then discard the stalks.
Mash the potatoes in the stock to thicken it.  Add the sauteed sorrel and simmer for 5 minutes.  Add salt to taste.  If you have pickle brine or sauerkraut juice on hand, you can use it instead of salt, adding it to the soup after it has cooled to body temperature.  The brine or juice will contribute not only the salt it contains but also other flavors and live culture goodness.  Allow the soup to cool and store it in the refrigerator.
Serve shav cold with a dollop of sour cream.
