Ok...here are the recipes
mushrooms are always a hit at the parties. I basicaly fry small amount of bacon, onion and stems from the mushrooms. Add cream cheese and small amount of bread crumbs. Stuff the mushrooms and bake at 350 for probably 20 min or so.
Russian recipes.
Just remember all the quantities are approximate.
eggplant dip
grill or bake whole eggplants. You want to skin burnt. (about 5 large ones)
5 tomatoes- I usually put them into a food processor but dont make a tomato juice out of them...just enough to still have chunks of tomatoes left
3-5 cloves of garlic (up to your taste)
1-3 tbls of white vinegar ( again please taste as you go and see if you need more or less
KEY INGREDIENT IS: SUNFLOWER OIL (about a quarter of a cup) or less or more
Do not use any other oil, it adds that certain flavor that no other oil can produce.
Salt
After Eggplants are baked or grilled, cool them and take the skin off. I usually with a fork just break them up so they are kind of a mooshie consistancy, add the rest of the ingredients and mix well.
Pierogi
two sheets of puff pastry dough.
Filling
5 large onions chopped small and fried until carmelized.
add about 8 hard boiled eggs chopped
5 bunches of green onions chopped small
After onions are carmelized and while they are hot and eggs, and green onions and mix well. Add salt and pepper to your taste.
Put the puff pastry sheet on the cooking tray, spread the onion mixture on it and top it off with the other puff pastry sheet. Bake at 350 until golden brown.
Lamb Marinade
for about one boneless leg of lamb
two onions pulverized into an almost liquid consistency
one large plain yougurt container
paprik, cayenne pepper garlic salt.
Add cut up pieces of lamb into the mixure and marinade over night or longer.
