Valentines Day Chocolate Cakes
Posted on Friday, February 13th, 2009 at 6:54 am
1 pound of ground chicken (or 2 cups of cut-up cooked chicken)
12 cabbage leaves
1 can (15 ounces) tomato sauce
½ cup of uncooked instant rice
1/8 teaspoon of pepper (or a dash of pepper)
1 teaspoon salt
1 medium onion, chopped (about ½ cup)
1/8 teaspoon of garlic salt
1 can (4 ounces) mushroom stems and pieces, undrained
½ teaspoon of lemon juice
1 teaspoon of sugar
1 tablespoon of water
1 tablespoon of cornstarch
Pour boiling water over the cabbage leaves. Cover and let stand until leaves are limp, about 10 minutes. Remove leaves and drain.
Mix the rice, ground chicken, the salt, ½ cup of the tomato sauce, garlic salt, pepper, mushrooms and onion. Place about 1/3 cup of the chicken mixture at stem end of each leaf. Roll leaf around chicken mixture, tucking in sides.
Place cabbage rolls, seam sides down, in ungreased square baking dish, 8 x 8 x 2 inches. Mix remaining tomato sauce, lemon juice and the sugar. Pour over the cabbage rolls. Cover and bake in 350 degree oven until chicken is done, about 45 minutes. Note: If using the cut-up cooked chicken, reduce cooking time to about 25 to 30 minutes.
Pour the liquid from the cabbage rolls into a 1-quart saucepan. Mix cornstarch and water; stir into cabbage liquid. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Stir and boil for 1 minute. Serve sauce with cabbage rolls.
Hint: To separate the leaves from the cabbage head easily, remove the core and cover the cabbage with cold water. Let stand about 10 minutes. Remove leaves.
To Microwave: Place ¼ cup of cold water and the cabbage leaves in a 3-quart casserole dish that can be microwave. Cover tightly and microwave on high (100%) until limp, about 4 to 5 minutes. Continue as directed using the casserole dish. Mix the remaining tomato sauce, lemon juice, the sugar, water and cornstarch. Pour over the cabbage rolls. Cover with vented plastic wrap and microwave 7 minutes. Rotate the dish ¼ turn. Microwave until chicken is done, 8 to 9 minutes longer. Note: If using the cut-up cooked chicken, reduce cooking time to about 4 to 5 minutes longer. Let stand covered for about a minute. Remove cabbage rolls to a platter. Stir sauce in dish; pour over cabbage rolls.
Stuffed Beef Cabbage Rolls: Substitute 1 pound of ground beef for the ground chicken.
Stuffed Turkey Cabbage Rolls: Substitute 1 pound of ground turkey for the ground chicken.
Stuffed Sausage Cabbage Rolls: Substitute 1 pound of ground pork sausage for the ground chicken.
And for dessert:
Glazed Apple Rings
4 apples, cored and cut into
½-inch rings
¼ cup margarine or butter
1 tablespoon of lemon juice
½ cup of apple juice or dry white wine
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
½ cup of sugar (or sugar substitute)
Heat margarine in 10-inch skillet over medium heat until melted. Fry several apple rings at a time, turning once, until golden brown. (Add more margarine if necessary).
Return all apple rings to skillet. Mix lemon juice, apple juice, cinnamon and ginger. Pour over apples. Sprinkle with sugar. Cover and cook over medium heat just until apples are tender and glazed, about 5 minutes. Serve warm and, if desired, with whipped cream.
Is this Valentines Day Poem Tasty at all?
Valentine’s Day Just Dessert
Still kitchen teapot clock goes tick-tick
Dead-eye thousand yard stare air like brick
King Liar paced lair and thinks through quick
Sets face and sits on his wood throne slick
No Flowers in hand, card stuck in store
Love’s money left at the Twist-N-Pour
And what of chocolates, … nevermore
Do for me now, let’s even the score
In theater of life, her’s now the mike
Hushed crowd, a single match heard to strike
To come from Eros twas quite a hike
A cake, a steak, what would you like?
Sip of the testosteroned iced rye
On the rocks I deigned not to reply
I never saw the glint in her eye
I never knew rolling pins could fly
Not only rolling pins can fly but cast iron skillets as well..
You hit that one a home run.. now next time you roll your eyes, be prepared to envision the rolling pin as it "through the air flies..."
The question was it tasty?
Yes down to the last swallow.... delicious !
