batches.
Remove beef from pot, add the final 2 tb of peanut oil and
cook on medium heat the onions and chiles for about 10
minutes or until the onions are translucent. Add the garlic
and cook for another minute.
Add the browned beef, add the herbs, spices, beef broth

high. Bring the stew to a boil and then turn heat down to
low and simmer for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.

TOM KHA GAI
2 cups chicken broth
2 cups water
1/2 cup coconut milk
1 cup chicken, sliced finely
4-5 kaffir lime leaves, torn
1” piece of galangal, sliced thinly
1 stalk lemongrass, sliced thinly
VIETNAMESE
FRESH SPRING ROLLS
3 red Thai chili peppers, smashed
1/2 cup canned bamboo shoots, sliced
1/4 cup onion, sliced
1/4 cup cilantro leaves, chopped
2 ounces rice vermicelli
1 tb roasted chili paste (nam prik pao)
1 tb fish sauce
8 rice wrappers (8.5 inch diameter)
1 tsp sugar
Juice from 1 large lime
Heat the water and chicken broth over medium heat.
Add the torn kaffir lime leaves, sliced galangal, and sliced lemongrass to the pot and allow to simmer for 20-30 minutes,
until the aroma of these herbs is strong. Add the coconut milk
and stir into the other liquid, then add the chicken, smashed
chilies, and bamboo shoots. Let the chicken cook until it’s
done. Next add the fish sauce, roasted chili paste, sugar, and
lime juice. Start with the juice from half a lime and taste the
soup. I’ve found that an entire large lime gives the right
amount of tartness for me, but taste as you add to get the
soup just right for you. Once the soup has just the right flavor, add the onion slices and cook until they’re done. Scoop
the soup into a bowl and garnish with cilantro leaves.
8 large cooked shrimp– peeled, deveined and
cut in half
1-1/3 tb chopped fresh Thai basil
3 tb chopped fresh mint leaves
3 tb chopped fresh cilantro
2 lettuce leaves, shredded
3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
1 tsp finely chopped peanuts
Bring a medium saucepan of water to boil. Boil rice
vermicelli 3 to 5 minutes, or until al dente and drain. Fill a
large bowl with warm water. Dip one wrapper into the
hot water for 1 second to soften. Lay wrapper flat. In a
row across the center, place 2 shrimp halves, a handful of
vermicelli, basil, mint, cilantro and lettuce, leaving about 2
inches uncovered on each side. Fold uncovered sides inward, then tightly roll the wrapper, beginning at the end
with the lettuce. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. In
another small bowl, mix the hoisin sauce and peanuts.
Serve rolled spring rolls with hoisin-peanut dipping sauce.
STIVER’S CANADIAN
MEAT PIE
5 double pie crusts
5 lbs of ground pork (may substitute veal, turkey, or a mixture)
5 stalks of celery
1 large onion
CHAZMINE’S
BAKED ZITI
5 cups of bread crumbs (may substitute Pepperidge Farm
stuffing)
1/2 tsp savory
1/2 tsp pepper
1 lb of ziti pasta
1/2 tsp onion powder
1 onion, chopped
1/2 tsp celery salt
You may either make your pie crusts from scratch, or buy ready
made pie shells. Begin by browning 5lbs of ground meat, being careful
to continually stir and break up the meat so it doesn’t clump up.
Drain the fat from the meat once it’s done. Clean and chop celery
and onion. Add to the meat mixture once it’s been drained. Continue
cooking for 5-10 minutes then add 2 cups of water and all of the
spices. Begin to add the bread crumbs until they have all been absorbed by the mixture. You may need to add more water if the bread
crumbs are not all being absorbed. The mixture should have a thick
and pasty consistency. Now pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees. Begin
scooping the meat mixture into each of the pie crusts until they are
full. Then add a top to each pie crust and vent. Place each pie into the
oven to bake until crust is golden– usually about 30 minutes. This
recipe will yield 5 meat pies. Let cool and cover with tin foil to freeze
for later consumption or you may enjoy right away while warm. Serve
with a little ketchup.
1 large jar of tomato sauce
1 lb of ground beef
1 tb garlic
1 lb of shredded parmesan or mozzarella

skillet, cook your ground beef then drain. Mix ground beef
and ziti pasta together and add tomato sauce and cook for
10 minutes. Get your baking pan and add one layer of
your ziti pasta then cover with cheese and keeping alternating layers until your ziti is gone. Place your layered ziti
in the oven for 15 minutes to bake. Cover the top with
your last layer of cheese when it comes out of the oven.
