ā¢ Preparation
Thick Greek garlic sauce makes a marvelous dip to be served with vegetables as an accompaniment
to fish or chicken. Avoid using a food processor or an electric mixer, which can make potatoes gluey.
Pita bread, carrot, bell pepper, celery and fennel sticks for dipping
Put potatoes into water in a saucepan and boil with high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer until
potatoes are tender up to 20 minutes (approximately). Drain, rinse with cold water and mash
thoroughly.
Meanwhile, put garlic and salt in a large wooden bowl and pound with a pestle until thoroughly
mashed. Gradually add potatoes and pound them with garlic. If mixture is still hot, let cool 15
minutes, then add egg yolk, if using, and vigorously mash or beat in with a wooden spoon.
Alternating olive oil with lemon juice and vinegar, gradually add both to potato mixture, vigorously
mashing or beating. Using a fork, add pepper, mixing briskly until very smooth. Mix in more olive
oil, or even some water, a little at a time, if sauce is too thick to use as a dip.
Spoon into a container and store, covered, in refrigerator. It will keep for about 1 week. Bring to
room temperature several hours before serving. Spoon into a bowl and serve with fresh vegetables
and pita for dipping.

Back to recipe list
ā¢ Preparation
Cut eggplants lengthwise into one third inch-thick slices and sprinkle slices on both sides with salt.
Arrange eggplant in a large colander and weight it with a heavy bowl. Drain eggplant 1 hour. Remove
bowl and pat eggplant dry.
Set broiler rack so that eggplant will be about 4 inches from heat and preheat broiler.
Arrange eggplant in one layer in oiled shallow baking pans and brush with oil. Broil eggplant until
golden, about 3 minutes on each side.
Make meat sauce:
In a large heavy non-stick skillet cook onions and garlic in oil over moderate heat, stirring, until
softened. Add lamb and cook, stirring to break up, until it is no longer pink, about 3 minutes. Stir in
remaining meat sauce ingredients and salt and pepper to taste and simmer, uncovered, 30 minutes.
Meat sauce may be made in three days advance, cooled completely, and chilled, covered.
Make white sauce while meat sauce is cooking:
In a heavy saucepan melt butter over moderately low heat and whisk in flour until smooth. Cook
roux, whisking, 3 minutes. Whisk in milk in a stream and salt and pepper to taste and simmer,
whisking occasionally, 5 minutes, or until thick. Whisk in egg, whisking vigorously, and simmer
sauce, whisking, 1 minute. White sauce may be made 2 days ahead and chilled, its surface covered
with plastic wrap. Preheat oven to 375Ā°F/190Ā°C.
21. Pour 1 cup meat sauce into a flame-proof baking dish, 13 by 9 by 2 inches (sauce will not cover
bottom completely), and cover with 3 lasagne sheets, making sure they do not touch each other.
Spread about 1 1/2 cups meat sauce over pasta and arrange 1 layer broiled eggplant on top. Gently
spread about 1/2 cup white sauce over eggplant and sprinkle with about 1/3 cup feta. Make 2 more
layers in same manner, beginning and ending with pasta. Spread remaining white sauce evenly
over top pasta layer, making sure pasta is completely covered, and sprinkle with remaining feta.
Cover dish tightly with foil, tenting slightly to prevent foil from touching top layer, and bake in
middle of oven 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake lasagne 10 minutes more, or until top is
bubbling.
Set broiler rack so that lasagne will be about 4 inches from heat and preheat broiler.
Broil lasagna 1 to 2 minutes, or until golden. Let lasagne stand 5 minutes before serving.

27. Zuccini Stuffed with Bulgur & Ground Turkey
Back to recipe list
Continuedā¦.
SL Ingredients Quantity
1. Diced Zucchini or 2 very
large zucchini (upwards
of 3 lbs)
6 Cups
2. Lean Ground Turkey 16 Ounces
3. Uncooked Bulgur
Wheat
1 Cup
4. Parmesan Cheese 1/2 Cup
5. Mozzarella 2 Ounces
6. Italian Seasoning 1-2 Tablespoons
This dish can be made either as a casserole or as stuffed zucchini. The zucchini
have to be rather large in order to be stuffed but by dicing the zucchini and mixing in
a casserole dish, the same flavors can be achieved. The mix almost gives a feeling
of sausage instead of ground turkey and Italian seasoning. Turkey sausage (out of
the casing and treated like ground meat) can be substituted and the seasoning left
out if desired.
ā¢ Preparation
ā Soak bulgur wheat in water at least 30 minutes prior to use.
ā Preheat oven to 350Āŗ. Place ground turkey in pan on medium heat. Cook
until no longer pink.
ā While the turkey is cooking, begin preparing the zucchini by slicing off the
top third of the zucchini lengthwise (or dice zucchini in 1 inch cubes if
making casserole). Dice a small amount of zucchini tops to be added to
stuffing. Place the rest aside for use in another dish.
ā Core out the seeds from the zucchini using an ice cream scoop. Dispose of
seeds. Place zucchini hulls in glass baking dish. (Feed seeds to chickens)
28. ā Remove turkey from heat and let cool briefly. Drain water from bulgur wheat
and mix with ground turkey along with the parmesan cheese. Season with
Italian Seasoning to taste.
ā Carefully spoon the mix into the zucchini hulls.
ā Put approximately 1/2 cup water in the dish for steam and cover with foil.
Place in oven for 25 minutes.
ā Remove from oven and top with mozzarella. Return to oven uncovered until
cheese melts, about 5 minutes.
