WELCOME TO MY GALLEY

Welcome to my galley



MAKE YOUR OWN HOT SAUCE:


Use an empty, clean Tabasco bottle or any other hot sauce bottle and fill with any well washed hot peppers of your choice; Jalapeno, serano, scotch bonnets, banana peppers, habanero..... Also add one to two whole peeled garlic cloves. If garlic or pepper is too big for bottle cut in half or quarters. Bring hot water to boil and add rock salt, I uses Hawaiian rock salt. Make sure it is a tad saltier than your taste bud allows, this will preserve it. Cover peppers with salt water, close lid, let cook then refrigerate for 3 weeks before . When hot sauce gets low on water repeat the salt water solution and fill up again (you don't need to wait another 3 weeks, you can use right away). You can fill it about 5 times or when it doesn't have a good pepper flavor anymore, you'll be able to tell when you have to start a new batch. Enjoy.
(The pepper sauce in photo is made with scotch bonnets and in bigger char I added cilantro)

FISH JERKY

Since we didn’t have a freezer and often caught a fish which provided us at least 6 meals, we didn’t want to eat the same fish for the next 6 days, so we made fish jerky with them.

Slice fish lengthwise into 1/4 -inch strips. Combine soy sauce, garlic, salt and pepper. Mix with fish strips and let stand about 30 minutes. Drain and string up with fishing line, hang on deck and dry until done. If the humidity is high, take in over night and hang up again next morning

1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon pepper

1/2 teaspoon onion -- chopped

MANUELA'S KILLER SEAS ESCARGOTS LINGUINI Serving Size: 6

1/2 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 dried red chili pepper -- finely chopped
1 large onion -- chopped
3 large clove garlic -- minced or pressed
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves or 1 tablespoon dried -- chopped
1 tablespoon oregano

Put the olive oil in a large cast iron skillet and heat slowly. Add the dried chili pepper, onion and garlic and cook slowly for about 30 minutes or until the onions are very soft. Add basil, oregano, salt and pepper and liquid from clams. Continue to simmer until some of the liquid is reduced down. Keep warm.
Cook pasta. As pasta is cooking, add the snails or clams, parsley and 3 Tbsp. of cheese to the sauce and simmer at low heat for about five minutes. Add pimiento, if desired.
After draining the pasta, stir into the sauce and toss. Sprinkle generously with the grated cheese and serve directly from the skillet.

How to cook snails:
Hang snails in a mesh bag over board for one day to let them purge. Bring big pot of sea water to boil add snails and boil for 10 minutes, drain into think and I used the salt water pump to cool them off. Take snails out of shell and clean. The end piece that is inside the snail, dark part, needs to be removed, so that no dark part is left on white foot except the head of snail. Place in pressure cooker and cover slightly with fresh water, add bouillon cube your desire and pressure cook for 20 to 25 minutes. Use snails including juice for dish. Snails at this point can also be quick sauteed with butter, parsley and garlic and served as appetizer with fresh bread.

Debi, this is good, if you can find the blue cheese salad packages like Ranch etc, get them, if added to milk it makes a yummy sauce for tortellini if you can't find blue cheese. I had some tortellini but no cheese so I gave it a shot, it was yummy

HALLACAS Makes 24 Hallacas

The hallaca is the staple Venezuelan Holliday dinner dish and its preparation is practically limited to that time of the year. It is still prepared in a similar fashion to colonial times with some modern refinements. The hallaca is also considered one of the most representative icons of Venezuelan multicultural heritage, as its preparation includes European ingredients (such as raisins, nuts and olives), indigenous ingredients (corn meal colored with annotto seeds and onions), and African ingredients (smoked plantain leaves used for wrapping). The Venezuelan hallacas and Mexican tamales have almost identical filling...........

Drizzle with melted butter and top with nuts. Bake 400 for 30 minutes. Top with vanilla ice cream.
NOTE: any other fruit fillings can be used.

(Update May 14th 2009) While in Trinidad I was going to make this apple crisp for a potluck but he shelf where the canned apples usually were was empty, now what? In the corner of my eye I saw cans of crushed pineapple and thought to give it a shot. Wow, was it yummy. I haven't made apple crisp since but that particular potluck I had to bring the dish over and over by request. I even altered the recipe a bit by soaking cranberries in rum for two days and mixed them up with the pineapple.

SUZY HOME MAKE
R STUFF

HOMEMADE YOGURT

Fill a wide-mouth thermos half full of powdered milk, add enough water to make the thermos about 3/4 full. Stir, and add enough boiling to nearly fill the thermos. Stir again. Check the temperature, it should be between 110 to 120 degrees Add starter and stir. (Use 1/4 tsp. of lactobacillus powder or 1 1/2 tsp. of plain yogurt per pint for the starter. Place the stopper in the thermos, wrap it in a towel to insulate, and allow to brew for about 4 hours. the consistency will be that of sour cream. The more powdered milk you use, the thicker the yogurt well be.
To make yogurt cheese, pour some yogurt (1 oz of yogurt yields approximately a 1/2 oz of yogurt cheese) into a funnel lined with either a disposable coffee filter or a funnel made especially for yogurt. Allow to drain in a cup in the refrigerator until it reaches the desired consistency, about 8 - 12 hours for most uses, 14 or more hours for cheese.


YOGURT CREAM CHEESE

This is a very pleasing cheeses similar to a cream cheese in its texture and sour taste, but without the fat and calories that have turned most of us to self-denial of this favorite topping. To make this delicious cheese start with yogurt made from skim milk powder. After the proper fermentation time in which the milk has clabbered, pour the thick yogurt into a muslin-lined colander and drain for a few minutes. Pull up the four corners and without squeezing, hang the bag to drain for 12 to 18 hours over a pan, sink or shower. The creamy cheese that remains may be seasoned with salt or herbs.


SOURDOUGH STARTER

We always have a sourdough starter on board and bake fresh bread at any time. It’s much easier to keep up then you think, give it a shot.

1 package active dry yeast
2 cups water
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour

The best starter is one that is passed along to you by a friend. You can, however, make your own!

1. in a clean, rigid-covered container, (hard plastic Tupperware
container), dissolve the yeast in the water and stir in the flour. Don’t use a metal spoon - use wood or a chopstick.
2. Leave uncovered in a warm place (80-90 degrees) for four days to a week, or until the mixture bubbles ad has developed a sour odor. Stir the mixture daily. If it smells bad or becomes discolored, discard and start again.
3. You can begin using the starter or store it in the refrigerator. If stored in the refrigerator, allow it to come to room temperature before using.
4. You should feed your starter every week. Always save 2 cups of this mixture for an ongoing starter. If you have your original 4 cups of starter, either give half away or use it in baking. To the remaining 2 cups of starter, add 1 cup of unbleached, all-purpose flour and cup of tepid water. Allow the starter to ferment
and bubble overnight at room temperature, then use or place in refrigerator.
5. You can also freeze the starter for two to three months. Thaw at room temperature for 24 hours, feet it some flour and water, and it should start to bubble. If it doesn’t, add a teaspoon of active dry yeast and let it ferment overnight. (See next page).
6. If a gray liquid accumulates on top of the starter, pour it off. Wash your starter container every week with soap and water, then rinse and dry it.
7. To use the starter in any bread recipe: 2 cups of starter equals 1 package of dry yeast and the dissolving liquids in the recipe.


SOURDOUGH PANCAKES

2 cups starter
½ cup oil
¼ cup sugar
3 eggs
1 tsp baking soda
dash of salt
Mix together grill on lightly greased grill. If you divide this recipe use 1 ½ eggs


SOURDOUGH FRENCH BREAD

1 1/2 starter -- room temperature
1 cup water
2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons sugar
4 cups all-purpose flour

Mix together all the ingredients. Knead on a floured board until the dough becomes smooth and elastic. Add more flour if the dough is sticky.
In a warm, draft-free area, allow the dough to rise in a greased bowl covered with a cloth until double bulk. Punch down and allow to rise another 45 minutes.
Shape the dough and place in a greased loaf pan. Allow to rise again.
bake in a preheated 375 degrees oven for 45 minutes. Remove from pan when done.
