*August 2009 COTM* OTTOLENGHI: Recipe Lists, Cookbook Recipe Links, Paraphrases
Our Chowhound August 2009 Cookbook of the Month is Ottolenghi: The Cookbook, by Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi; and all online recipes by the authors.
Because many participants do not have access to this British cookbook, several generous hounds with the book have offered to paraphrase recipes from the book for which there are no online options. Please request and provide general recipe descriptions and paraphrases in this thread. Below are posted recipe names, listed by subsections in the book, with links to online sources where available (many thanks to greedygirl for finding most of the links).
Please request and provide descriptions and paraphrases as responses to the post with the related titles, as a means of keeping the thread organized and avoiding unnecessary repetition.
*IMPORTANT NOTE*: Please use this thread for requesting and paraphrasing recipes only. Please discuss and report recipes in the respective threads linked in the main COTM thread.
*IMPORTANT NOTE*: The verbatim copying of recipes to the boards is a violation of the copyright of the original authors. Posts with copied recipes will be removed. Please follow Chowhound's Guidelines for Posting Recipes:
Ingredient lists don't fall under copyright protection, so you're welcome to repost those verbatim.
The instructions and any intro paragraphs are covered under copyright protection; these you should paraphrase in your own words.
Thank you for participating, and enjoy cooking from this marvelous book!

I normally cook from the book, so I'm not really sure where to post this. Tonight for dinner I made the current recipe from the Guardian UK website. It seemed like a very strange recipe, using quite a bit of rice flour in the "pie" filling, but it was delicious. This would make a great first course, or addition to a meze spread. I cut the butter/oil mixture by about a third, crumbled on some feta on top of the yogurt filling, and stirred some tahini into the dollop of yogurt on top.
I have to confess that I was using fresh vine leaves, pine nuts, and tahini from Lebanon, but I think this would be good with supermarket ingredients. I used Fage 2% yogurt.

re: pikawicca
pikawicca, that's the vine leaf, herb and yogurt pie, right? http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyl...
I's think you might want post a copy of your post in, perhaps, the bread and savory pastries thread. Idea is to stick reports on online recipes wherever they fit best in the threads.

re: pikawicca
Well, I only took the briefest look at the recipe, so that was a guess based on title. I figured posters could decide what is the best place to post about online recipes depending where they fit best in the rubric of the report threads.
The idea of keeping this thread is for paraphrases, not discussion/reports, is that all the discussion stays in its respective thread and is easy to find, and this doesn't become a catchall.

re: pikawicca
When I reported on the Saffron Cauliflower recipe from the Ottolenghi Guardian UK recipe website, I posted under "Vegetables, Aubergines, and Greens". Ottolenghi's column is entitled "The New Vegetarian", so I assume the majority of the recipes from that site could be posted under that chapter, including the Vine Leaf, Herb, and Yogurt Pie.

Caitlin,
You wouldn't happen to have the recipe for the roasted beetroots, would you?? My book hasn't arrived yet.

re: Gio
There's a version in here:
http://www.socialworkout.com/2009/06/...
She's substituted agave for Ottolenghi's maple syrup, if that helps.

re: Gio
See above for paraphrase from the book. I truly don't mean to be a nag, but it would be great if everyone could request and post recipes as responses to the specific post that lists the recipe name. That's the idea of the organization: this way, as the month goes on and it gets longer, it will be easy to keep track of where the recipes are.

re: dkennedy
Sour Cherry and Walnut Stick, paraphrased.
160 ml luke warm water (not higher than 30C)
1.5 tsp active dried yeast
40 ml orange juice
250g country brown flour ("Allinson's country grain brown bread flour or Hovis granary flour) plus extra for dusting
65g buckwheat flour
1tsp salt
50g dried sour cherries
50g walnuts, roughly broken into piecesStir the water/yeast in an electric mixer bowl and leave for 10 minutes. Then add OJ, mix, add both flours. Knead for 5 minutes at low speed w/ dough hook until the dough comes together.
Scrape the dough in the bowl, then add salt and knead for 4 miuntes on high. Dough should be smoother and silky. Add cherries & walnuts and mix on medium for one minute.
Knead by hand turning the dough), until you can no longer see the walnuts/cherries and the dough is smooth. Put the dough (shaped into a ball) in a large bowl, covered w/ a damp cloth, for about 1.5 hours in a warm place - or until dough has doubled.
[This part is a bit tricky sounding:]
Put dough on floured surface. "Pull the edges of the doubh so that they all meet at the centre top to form a puffed, round cushion shape." Use the handle of a wooden spoon or something like that to divide the dough in half (into 2 "equal spheres" - I think this means to make a division but not to actually separate the dough?). "Press down a little and then fold one half over the other. Crimp the round edges together with your fingers to seal them as if you were making a Cornish pasty." You then roll this to create a "torpedo like baguette shape". Put this gently on a floured kitchen towel, cover with saran wrap, and let rise in a warm place for 45 minutes.
Heat the overn to 220C. Put a shallow smallish pan of hot water in the bottom of the oven. When the dough has risen by fifty percent, roll it on to a baking sheet using the towel to help you. Try to lose as little air as possible, and use a very sharp (not serrated) knife to make three diagonal slashes about 1 cm deep on the top of the bread.
Bake for 20-25 minutes - it's ready when there is a hollow sound when you tap on the bottom of the loaf. Cool on a wire rack.

re: MMRuth
Huh. I didn't even notice this recipe in the book, but it looks really good! Plus, I need something to do with the juice of the oranges I bought. There are a couple of recipes (french beans and mangetout and one other I can't recall) that call for only the zest!
So, any ideas on what country brown flour is? Whole wheat flour, perhaps?
~TDQ

re: MMRuth
Ah, look what Googling revealed--A link to a chowhound post! http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/4618... It appears that brown flour might not be whole wheat flour, but "toasted" flour. I do hope greedygirl chimes in here, though...

re: Rubee
I will do my best. Duck fat is rendering on the stove, so if I am too skimpy with the paraphrase, post back..
35g stale white bread, crusts removed
300g minced beef
300g minced lamb
3 garlic cloves, crushed
35g flat-leaf parsley, finely cho\pped
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 1/2 tsp ground allspice (pimento)
1 1/2 rsp ground cinnamon
1 free-range egg
light olive oil for fryuing
1 tbsp chopped flat-leaf parsley, top garnish
grated zest of 1/2 lemon, to garnish
Tahini Sauce
150ml tahini paste
150ml water
70ml white wine vinegar
1 garlic clove, crushed
a pinch of salt1. Make the tahini sauce by whisking ingredients together. You may need to add a little water to get a creamy, saucelike texture.
2. Preheat the oven to 200ºC.
3. Soak the bread in some cold water until softened [2-3 minutes] and then squeeze most of the water out. Crumble it into a bowl. Add then beef, lamb, garlic, parsely, salt, spices and egg. Mix well with your hands.
4. Shape into golf sized balls. Heat up some oil, about 5mm depth, in a large frying pan. Don't heat to high or it will spit while cooking. Shallow fry the meatballs in small batches. Each batch for about 2 minutes, turning so they are brown all over.
5. Remove meatballs from pan onto a kitchen paper towel and then transfer to a ovenproof dish. Place in the oven for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven, pour over the tahini sauce and then bake in the oven another 10 minutes or until meatballs are just cooked through. Garnish with parsley and lemon zest and serve immediately.
