- .RZ "HONEY DOUGHNUTS" "Lukumadhes"
- .KY GREEK
- I made these donuts last night as a treat for the weekend, but then a couple
- of friends dropped by and my husband came home....and they all disappeared.
- I guess they were good!
- .PP
- From \fIGreek Vegatarian Cookery\fR by Jack Santa Maria.
- .IH
- .IG "1 Tbls" "dried yeast"
- .IG "1 tsp" "sugar or honey"
- .IG "1 cup" "warm water" "225 ml"
- .IG "8 oz" "ww flour" "225 g"
- .IG "\(12 tsp" "salt"
- .IG "" "olive or vegetable oil"
- for deep-frying
- .IG "" "honey"
- .IG "" "powdered cinnamon"
- .PH
- .SK 1
- Mix water, sugar, yeast, and
- .AB "2 oz" "50 g"
- flour until smooth. Let rise until doubles in size.
- .SK 2
- Add the salt and the rest of the flour, and enough water to make a thick
- batter. Cover and allow to rise again and begin to bubble. This takes 1-2
- hours.
- .SK 3
- Heat the oil in a deep-frying pan (I used a wok) and when the oil is hot drop
- in tsp size balls of batter. The dough will puff up and turn light brown.
- Remove with a strainer and put on a serving dish.
- .SK 4
- Spoon honey or syrup (I heated the honey to make it runnier) over the
- doughnuts and sprinkle with cinnamon powder. Serve hot.
- .NX
- ** Next time I plan to add cinnamon and nutmeg to the batter along with the
- flour to give them more spice.
- .PP
- ** This recipe calls for honey but I'm sure maple syrup or juice concentrate
- could be used instead with no ill effects.

- .RZ "HUMMUS"
- .KY NON-FAT NOBAKE
- This is a recipe my boyfriend's mother gave me. I like it better than most of
- the ones you see on the net that call for tahini \fIin\fR the hummus. Hummus
- is hummus and tahini is tahini, and you eat them together, but prepare them
- separately!
- .IH

- minced (or leave whole and throw in the food processor first)
- .IG "4 Tbls" "lemon juice" "65 ml"
- .IG "\(14 tsp" "salt"

- finely chopped
- .PH
- .SK 1

- .AB "\(14 - \(12 cup" "55-110 ml"
- of the liquid.
- .SK 2
- In a food processor, blend chickpeas until smooth. Add olive oil and garlic
- (if you haven't already) and process. Slowly add in lemon juice. Add salt
- and pepper and slowly add liquid while processing until the right consistency
- is reached. It should be smooth and creamy, but stop adding liquid when it
- becomes velvety.
- .SK 3
- Blend in parsley and mint, cover and chill.
- .NX
- For a non-fat version, leave out the olive oil and use more of the chickpea
- liquid.

- 10 mins. + chilling time.
