Hello Asarnie,
I found this today. The dish is NAVARIN of Lamb. See recipe below.
Phaed
Navarin of Lamb (Navarin D' Agneau)
Reader's Digest Mediterranean Cookbook/Tess Mallos
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons oil
900 g/ 2 lb boneless leg of lamb, cubed
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 tablespoons plain flour
225 ml/8 fl oz chicken stock
2 tablespoons tomato puree
125 ml/4 fl oz dry white wine
1 teaspoon sugar
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
freshly ground black pepper
bouquet garni (2 sprigs each thyme and parsley and 1 bay leaf, tied together)
6-8 small whole onions
3 small turnips, peeled and quartered
12 baby carrots, scraped
115 g/4 oz peas
1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley
crusty bread, to serve
1 Preheat the oven to 160 C/325 F/gas mark 2. Heat the oil in a heavy
frying pan over a medium-high heat and brown the lamb in batches. Transfer
the lamb to a casserole as it browns. Add the chopped onion and garlic to
the pan and cook gently over low heat for about 10 minutes until the onion
is soft. Stir in the flour and cook until lightly coloured. Add the stock
and wine, stirring until the sauce thickens and bubbles. Stir in the tomato
puree, sugar, salt and pepper. Pour over the lamb and add the bouquet garni.
Cover and bake for 30 minutes.
2 Peel the whole onions and cut a cross in the root ends. Add onions, turnips
and carrots to casserole dish, cover and bake for about 1 hour until the
vegetables are tender, adding the peas after 30 minutes. Discard the bouquet
garni, sprinkle with parsley and serve straight from the casserole with crusty
bread.

Subject: More on Naughty Child Pie
Date: Wednesday, January 22, 2003 1:27 PM
OK, Phaed, here is what I found out:
I did a search on Elmore Leonard and found his website, which has its
own search engine, found the following reference to the subject pie.
It was apparently a chat room type discussion with someone close to
Leonard and someone writing in. This may explain it: (They are talking
about the upcoming movie they are making from the book, Tishomingo
Blues, and who will be in the cast.)
"....I think the cast sounds great. Who will play Loretta? I want the
recipe for Naughty Child Pie. Have looked on the net for it with no
luck. Can you help me? Is it a real pie or is it referring to some
sort of symbolic child porn?"
"Elmore and I attended the Jackson Muster in Summer 2000, the largest
civil war reenactment in the Midwest. In the program, Elmore saw,
under the pie contest entries, a reference to "Naughty Child Pie"
a green tomato pie as outlined in the book. The pie came in second
in the contest. He used the name. He did not know about the origins
or meaning of that name. He just liked its sound. That's the way he
is. If the contest winner had some secret meaning, we don't know."
Check out the Jackson Muster link at:
Jackson Muster
Hope this helps.

Subject: Polish wedding cake.
Do you have any knowledge of a Polish Wedding Cake?
The only information I have been given is that it is a very light
sponge-type cake covered with fresh cream. I need one large cake
to cut into 80 portions. Dreadfully inadequate information I'm
afraid but I live in hope. Thank you for being there. Joan
Hello Joan,
See:
Polish Wedding customs
According to traditional Polish wedding customs, what is served is a kind of sweet bread called "kolacz"
denoting a kind of sweet loaf in which the dough had been twisted into an ornamental shape. Loaves of this
kind of bread were eaten especially at weddings. See the recipe below.
Phaed
Wedding Cake - Kolacz Weselny
4 servings
2 (1/4 oz) pkg., active dry yeast ( 2 tbsp)
1 c Sugar
1/4 c Warm water
1 c Unsalted butter or margarine, room temperature
2 Eggs
1 pt Warm milk (2 cups)
6 1/2 c All purpose flour
1 pn of Salt
4 c Milk
2 lb Dry cottage cheese or farmer's old-fashioned white cheese(4cups)
4 Egg yolks
2 c Granulated sugar
1 tb Vanilla Sugar (or vanilla plus sugar)
This very old recipe is famous for the artistic, decorative sculpture
arranged on top. The picture in the cookbook has the upper outer edge
circled with a braid of dough and cutouts of ducks arranged flat on the
top.
Prepare Cheese Filling; set aside. In a small bowl, dissolve yeast and
1 Tbsp sugar in 1/4 cup warm water. Let stand 5 to 10 minutes until foamy.
Place 1 cup sugar, butter or margarine and eggs in large bowl. Beat until
pale and fluffy. Add yeast mixture, 1 pint milk, 2 cups flour and salt.
Beat until well blended. Stir in enough remaining flour to make a soft
dough. Turn out dough on a lightly floured surface. Clean and grease bowl.
Knead dough until smooth and elastic. Place dough in greased bowl, turning
to coat all sides.
Cover with a clean damp cloth and let rise in a warm place, free from
drafts, until doubled in bulk. Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease side and
bottom of a 10 inch spring form pan. Divide dough into thirds. Using
your hands, gently press 1/3 of dough evenly over bottom and side of
pan. Evenly spread Cheese Filling over dough lined pan. On a lightly
floured surface, roll out another 1/3 of dough to a 10 inch circle.
Place over Cheese Filling. Gently pat with your hands. Using a pastry
brush, lightly brush milk over top of dough. Cut remaining 1/3 dough
in 4 even pieces. Shape 3 pieces into long ropes. Braid ropes; apply
to outer edge of cake. Using remaining dough, cut desired figures with
various cutters of form shapes with your hands. Arrange figures on top
of dough as desired. Lightly brush with milk. Bake 50 to 60 minutes or
until golden brown. Cool cake in pan 5 minutes on a rack. Remove pan
side; cool completely on rack. Makes 1 (10 inch) cake.
Cheese Filling: With a grinder or food processor, process cheese. Do not
puree or over process. Place egg yolks, sugar and Vanilla Sugar in a large
bowl. Beat until pale and creamy, at least 10 minutes. Add ground cheese,
a little at a time, while beating. Beat until smooth.

HI
Candy popcorn in different colors is very popular in Puerto Rico.
I would like to find a receipe to make this colorful treat.
Could you help please.
Thanks
Michelle
Hello Michelle,
I had no luck at all finding a Puerto Rican colored candy popcorn recipe or any colored candy popcorn recipe.
I did find colored popcorn recipes and colored popcorn ball recipes. See below. Also, this site:
Stretcher
has some tasty popcorn recipes.
Phaed
Colored Popcorn
Servings: 4
Popcorn
Food paste (any color desired - from a craft or cake decorating supply store)
Butter, melted
Add food coloring to a pan of melting butter.
When the colored butter is melted, pour it over the popcorn as usual
---------------------------------------------
Colored Popcorn Balls
12 cups popped popcorn
1.5 oz flavored gelatin (any color Jello powder)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
Put gelatin, sugar and syrup into a pot. Heat & stir to dissolve.
Bring to a rolling boil. Pour over popcorn in a large bowl (you can
lightly salt popcorn first if you like). Stir until all popcorn is
coated. Form into balls with lightly buttered hands (I spray with Pam!).
Makes about a dozen popcorn balls.
Use whatever color suits the occasion. For Halloween use orange Jello.
You can put `faces' on your popcorn balls with candy. For Christmas make
a bowl full of red & green balls. For Easter use pastel colors.
