[] Well, friends, I blew it! I didn’t think that two of my recipes from the last mailing were kosher, but since the person who gave them to me insisted that they are, I failed to check with my advisor, Rochelle, and send them out anyway. Rochelle was very quick to send a “STOP THE PRESSES” message – but too late. This one will go to Rochelle before it gets sent to Topica.

I apologize for my errors. Here are three recipes to make up for the not-kosher chicken and the not-kosher lamb recipes. I promise to be more careful in the future. []

DA-VO-OD BASHA
(Near East Dish)

4 small eggplants
1/2 pound lamb – chopped --or chopped mutton
salt to taste

Chop seed sections with the meat and season to taste with salt Return to eggplant halves, pressing down into the cavities and mounding up slightly.

SAMBUSAK
(SEPHARDIC STUFFED PASTRIES)
Yield: 6 servings

2 tbsp Active dry yeast (2 packages)
2 cups Lukewarm water, divided
1 pinch Of sugar
1 tsp Salt
1/2 lb Pareve (without meat or milk products) margarine
2 lb Sifted all-purpose flour (about 8 cups)
1 tbsp Ground anise
Vegetable oil for frying
Meat Filling (recipe follows)

Dissolve the yeast in about cup warm water with a pinch of sugar. Add salt, remaining water, margarine and some of the flour. Gradually add the remaining flour and the anise. Blend with your hands and knead well. If the dough is too soft or sticky, add more flour.

Place in a greased bowl and let rise, covered, until doubled in bulk (about 1 hour). Punch down, knead again and let rise again until doubled.

Remove a piece of dough the size of a plum and roll it into a ball. Press it down on a floured board until it flattens into a circle. Place 1 tablespoon of filling in the center. Fold over and pinch into a half-moon shape.

Heat oil to 375 degrees. Deep-fry until golden. Drain on paper towels, and serve.

Meat Filling

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 bunch scallions, diced
1 pound very lean ground meat
Dash of garlic powder
Dash ginger
Dash turmeric
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Salt to taste

Heat oil, add scallions, meat, spices. Keep turning meat as it browns. When cooked, turn up the heat so all the water evaporates. Cool.
