Espinaca a La Catalan (Catalan-Style Spinach)
A spinach side dish from the Catalan region in Spain. Strong Moorish influences! Whatever you do, DO NOT overcook the spinach! From Jose Andres Tapas: A Taste of Spain in America. Love Jose’s recipes!
Chinese Walnut Cookies
Very rich. Sorry I can’t give proper estimates…I was shown the recipe by an old lady and since Chinese don’t use exact measurements, she didn’t write any for me! I’d guess at saying between 1/2-1 cup of oil is needed, but pour it out very slowly so that you don’t pour out too much. Also, don’t use olive oil, it makes the cookies too rich, so use canola or vegetable oil.
Sweet Sour Chicken
This is a good recipe to have on hand if you’re stuck in a cabin in the Northwoods, craving sweet sour chicken, and there’s not one Chinese take-out place within 50 miles. That’s about the only time I make this since it’s way too easy, when I’m home, to pick up the phone and order it from the place down the street! This is a Madame Wong recipe.
Pickled Asian Pears (Wor Mei Lei)
This is from Eileen Yin-Fei Lo’s “The Chinese Kitchen”, one of the finest classic Chinese cookbooks in English. In this reciped, she uses “sah leh” (sand pears) and recommends substituting Bosc pears, but I have done this with Asian pears, specifically Hosui or Niitaka. The desirable characteristic is a hard, crisp fruit. This is a wonderful appetizer or amuse bouche … You can either pickle the pears whole, or for an appetizer, you can julienne them.
