Teriyaki Sauce
This recipe is from James Peterson’s book on sauce.
My book has been in storage for many years. After tasting this teriyaki sauce years ago I have been hesitant to spend my time on others. And I could not remember the ingredients even though there are only 3. But alas, I have found my true love and now there will be fireworks.
sake
mirin
soy sauce (a good Japanese soy sauce that has been brewed)
To make the teriyaki sauce add equal parts sake, mirin, and soy sauce and mix.
Baking on the Gas Grill Take 1, and Rhubarb Muffins
We have had a sudden heat wave and so I have been looking for a way to keep cooking without heating up the house.
Cinnamon Topped Rhubarb Muffins
These muffins are the best. I found this recipe at Sweet Locus Lane Farm.
Yield: 2 dozen
Ingredients:
2 1/2 c. flour                            1 tsp. cinnamon
1 1/2 c. brown sugar            1 egg
1 tsp. salt                                   1 c. buttermilk
1 tsp. baking powder            2/3 c. oil
2 c. finely chopped rhubarb
Topping:
1/2 c. sugar
2 Tbl. melted butter
2 tsp. cinnamon
Mix all ingredients well except rhubarb and topping, add rhubarb and mix. Put in greased muffin tins. Don’t load up the batter in the tins, they cook better as smaller muffins. Add the topping. Bake at 375 for 16-18m.
Muffins ready to bake.
This is my grill with the lid open. The oven thermometer is at the left, telling me what temperature the grill is at. I can get the temperature around 350 and just above by turning the outside burners to low. I have a thermometer on the grill, but it is off by about 100 degrees and I am not sure if it is consistantly off.
Ready to start cooking.
I checked at 10 minutes to see if I needed to rotate the muffins, but everything looked good.
Still looking good.
I did have a few muffins that charred a little on the outside. But other than that baking on the grill worked well.
Stir Fry-ish
fried olive oil, garlic, mushrooms, zucchini, collard greens, leftover chicken, walnuts
on brown rice
A Sweet Treat
I actually served this for lunch as a special treat. It’s hard to see the tortilla, but it’s there. Sometimes I spread a little peanut butter under the banana, chocolate chips, and marshmellows. I like to heat it for 30 sec. and then wrap it up.
Tammy’s Pumpkin Dinner Rolls
Yield:
4 Dozen Rolls
Ingredients:
1 cup sugar                                    1/2 cup water
2 cups milk                                    ¼ cup butter, melted
2 cups pumpkin                           2 teaspoons salt
1/2 cup wheat germ                  10-12 cups all-purpose flour
7 teaspoons dry yeast
Instructions:
Dissolve the yeast in warm water.
Combine sugar,milk, butter, pumpkin, and salt. Add wheat germ, and most of the flour and mix. Add the yeast mixture.
(If you add the most of the ingredients including the flour before the yeast, you will not have to heat the milk.)
Knead the dough, adding flour until it is the right consistency.
Let rise in a greased bowl until doubled.
Punch dough down and divide into thirds. Divide each third into 16 pieces and shape into balls.
Place on greased baking sheets. ( put 24 rolls on each.) Cover and let rise until doubled.
Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes, until tops are golden.
Pita Bread
water 1 1/3 c.                             olive oil 3Tbs.
sugar 1 1/2 Tbs.                        salt 1 tsp.
flour 2 c.                                      whole wheat flour 1 1/2 c.
yeast 2 tsp.
This recipe is adapted from a bread machine recipe. So if you want to make the dough in a bread machine, just put the ingredients in the right order for your bread machine.
Mix up the dough and let it rise for a while.
Divide the dough into 10 pieces.
Make each piece into a ball.
Roll the ball out to about 6 in. and let rise 20m.
Cook at 500 degrees for 8-10 minutes.
Simple Cereal
brown rice, sugar, cinnamon and milk.
I like the brown rice cereal better than white, but my kids like the white rice better because it cooks faster.
