Honest Food

Honey Sesame Squid

For a simple marinade, mix equal parts Organic Low Sodium Tamari Sauce, Honey and water. Stir until honey is incorporated. Add minced Garlic and fresh cracked Pepper to taste. Drizzle in Toasted Sesame Oil. Set aside.

Clean and prep your Squid. If possible collect the ink from the inksac and behind the eyes. This can be used to make black rice, black pasta or black croutons etc. You can also use it to make block prints... you get the picture.

Soak Squid in milk for 1 hour in refrigerator then drain and or rinse

In a ziplock baggie add Squid and marinade. Let marinate at least 1 hour in refrigerator. Drain.

Fix up some nice Jasmine Rice, Steam some Red Swiss Chard and fry your Squid in a little olive oil. Remember never overcook squid. If you do over cook it, it will be like rubber bands. This Squid was tender and succulent. Most Tasty!

Kleiners

We made kleiners, but didn't use Grandpa's recipe.

Separating the eggs


Adding cream


Cutting and twisting



Frying

Chris said they were too light and fluffy, but here's the recipe we used:

6 egg yolks
4 teaspoons sugar
1 tablespoon melted butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons cream
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 1/2 to 2 cups flour

Beat egg yolks well. Add sugar and mix well. Add remaining ingredients. Use just enough flour to make a soft dough. To keep dough light and fluffy, handle as little as possible. Roll out dough until thin on floured cloth and cut into diamond shapes with slit in middle. Pull one end of dough through cut in center. Fry in cooking oil at 370 degrees for 2-3 minutes or until golden. Drain on paper towel. Dust with powdered sugar if you want.

Grandpa's Recipe:

6 eggs, beaten
3 cups sugar
1 Tbsp butter, melted
1 tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
1 Tbsp vanilla
1 cup evaporated milk
7 cups flour - add more to adjust consistency

Combine liquid ingredients, then dry ingredients. Mix together, roll out, cut, twist, deep fry at 350 degrees until golden brown.

Gingerbread cookies

First you find a helper who's in a good mood. Then you get out all the stuff, and bake up some cookies!



Rolled Ginger Cookies:

5 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground clove
1 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 cup molasses
2 tbsp vinegar

Stir together flour, soda, spices and 1/2 tsp salt. Beat shortening for 30 seconds. Add sugar, beat until fluffy. Add egg, molasses and vinegar; beat well. Add dry ingredients to beaten mixture, beating well. Cover and chill for 3 hours or overnight. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a cookie sheet. Divide dough into thirds. Roll each third to 1/4 inch thick. Cut into desired shapes and place one inch apart on greased cookie sheet. Cook for 5-6 minutes. Cool 1 minute on pan, then remove to wire rack. When completely cool you can decorate with frosting or candies or just eat them before there are none left.
