Felicos Lamb Pie

Submitted by Roland on Mon, 08/21/2000 - 22:57

Not all restaurants in Richmond are Asian. The Greek Restaurant, Felicos at 8140 Leslie Road in Richmond (telephone 276 8282), serves fantastic lamb pie for $8.95. Check it out ! Lamb chunks wrapped in phyllo pastry. I''ve never eaten anything else there so I can't review it, but you can't go wrong with the lamb pie.

Fresh Corn Chowder

Submitted by Barb on Sun, 08/20/2000 - 21:59

Our visit yesterday to Cloverdale Farms is the inspiration for this recipe. It's hard not to think "CORN" when you're surrounded by walls of it for over an hour and a half...corn on the cob, corn chowder, corn bread, corn relish...!

When we rushed home to make this corn chowder last night, I found that it really didn't need much seasoning other than a bit of salt and pepper. The corn was so sweet and flavourful!

BBQ Mojo Pork

Submitted by Barb on Thu, 08/17/2000 - 22:35

This sauce works well for chicken and fish. For fish, however, marinate for only 1/2 hour before grilling.

Mojo Sauce:
1 cup cilantro, packed
5 cloves garlic
1-2 serrano chilis, seeded
1/2 cup green onion, chopped
1/4 cup lime juice
1/4 cup olive oil
3/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper

2 lb. pork tenderloin steaks or chops
2 tsp. Latin spice mix

For Mojo sauce:
Place cilantro, garlic and chilis in food processor. Pulse until coarsely chopped.

Latin Spice Mix

Submitted by Barb on Thu, 08/17/2000 - 22:25

2 Tbsp. cumin seeds
1 Tbsp. black peppercorns
2 tsp. coriander seeds
2 tsp. sugar
3/4 tsp. salt

In a dry skillet, toast cumin, peppercorns and coriander over medium heat until fragrant, about 7 minutes.
Cool. Grind to a fine powder in a coffee grinder.
Store in an air tight container for up to 2 months.

Makes 1/4 cup

This spice mixture is great sprinkled on meat as a marinade base, on roasted potatoes, steamed vegetables.

Banana Oatmeal Muffins

Submitted by Barb on Thu, 08/17/2000 - 19:38

As summer is beginning to wind down (at least the weather feels that way!), a lot of people are thinking of back to school lunch box ideas. This is a great muffin recipe that kids of all ages will love. Over ripe bananas are the most flavourful and the rolled oats add substance to this muffin.

I like to sprinkle chopped walnuts on the tops just before popping them in the oven.

Schupfnudeln

Submitted by Roland on Wed, 08/16/2000 - 16:10

One of my favourite "guilty secret" pleasures from Germany was eating Schupfnudeln. Schupfnudeln, at least the Swabish variant that I experienced in the Bodensee, were noodles made from potatoes similar to gnocchi (the Swabians are heavily into noodles like Spaetzle) with sauerkraut, and bits of fatty pork. It was available at every Fest and it was usually cooked in a large wok type device.

It sounds unappetizing, but it really hit the spot for a cheap, warm meal especially on those grey Bodensee days.
