1/2 cup young coconut juice

1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract

Pagluto (Cooking Procedure):
To make the pastry, combine flour, salt and sugar in a bowl. Cut in
shortening with a pastry blender until mixture is crumbly. Combine egg yolks
and ice water and blend into flour mixture until it turns into dough. Add a
little more water if dough, is still crumbly. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
With a rolling pin, roll dough thinly, about 1/4 inch thick, on a lightly

Bake the pie crust, set aside and cool. Combine pie filling ingredients

Hi Lisa,
Below are three versions.
Phaed
Greek Gyros
1/2 cup minced onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 pound ground lamb
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 cup seeded and pared cucumber, diced
1/4 cup non-fat yogurt
1 tablespoon fresh mint, chopped
2 pitas
1/2 cup shredded lettuce
1/2 cup diced tomato
Spray skillet with non-stick spray and add onion and garlic. Cook until
soft over low heat stirring constantly. Place in mixing bowl with lamb,
lemon juice, oregano and cumin and mix thoroughly. Shape into 2 patties.
Place on rack of broiler and broil 3 to 5 minutes on each side, turning
once, or until desired doneness. Combine cucumber, yogurt and mint
in small bowl and mix. Cut around edge of each pita bread and pull
open to form pocket. Fill each pita with half the lettuce and tomato,
1 lamb patty and half the yogurt mixture.
-----------------------------------------------
Gyros
1 lamb breast
2 pounds ground lamb
salt
pepper
Greek oregano
allspice, ground
paprika
basil, minced
Grind the lamb yourself. Ordinary ground lamb from the store has too much
fat for this. The lamb should be coarsely ground. Mix the spices into the
lamb and shape the lamb into thick patties. Slice a very thin slice of fat
off the lamb breast and place it between two patties. Continue stacking
patties and slices of fat until you have assembled a cylinder. Place on a
grill, as far from the coals as possible and grill, turning to cook on all
sides. When it is cooked, cut thin slices down the sides and serve on pita
bread with tzatziki sauce, lettuce and tomatoes.
----------------------------
Emeril's Greek Gyros
1 (4 to 5-pound) boneless leg of lamb, trimmed of visible fat
5 cloves garlic, peeled and cut into 20 slivers
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Essence, recipe follows
16 pita breads
Tzatziki Sauce, recipe follows
Chopped tomatoes
With a sharp knife, make 20 slits across 1 side of the lamb and insert the
garlic slivers. Place in a large non-reactive dish.
In a bowl, whisk together the oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, rosemary,
salt, and pepper. Pour over the lamb and rub evenly across the surface.
Cover with plastic wrap and marinate, refrigerated, for at least 2 and up to
6 hours, turning occasionally.
Remove from the refrigerator and let come to room temperature. Season
lightly on all sides with Essence. Brush a grill lightly with olive oil and
preheat to medium heat.
Remove the lamb from the marinade and place on the grill. Cook, turning
occasionally until the meat reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F
for medium-rare, about 1 1/2 hours. Remove from the grill and transfer to a
platter. Tent with foil and let rest for 12 minutes before carving.
Thinly slice the lamb and place the meat in the center of the pita breads.
Top with Tzatziki Sauce and chopped tomatoes, and serve.
Emeril's Essence
2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon dried leaf oregano
1 tablespoon dried thyme
Combine all ingredients thoroughly and store in an airtight jar or
container.
Yield: about 2/3 cup
Tzatziki Sauce:
1 medium cucumber, peeled, seeded and finely chopped
1 cup plain yogurt
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon lemon juice or white wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon minced garlic
In a medium bowl combine all the ingredients and chill for at least 1 hour
to allow the flavors to marry.

Hi Cathy,
Below are three recipes. Hope you have some winemaking experience.
Phaed
Onion Wine
Onions 1/2 lb.
Potatoes 1/2 lb.
100% white grape juice concentrate 12 ounces
sugar 2 1/4 lb.
Pectic enzyme 1 tsp.
Acid blend 2 tsp.
Yeast nutrient 1 tsp.
Campden tablet 1
Yeast (Lalvin D-47, or a general purpose yeast)
Wash and peel the onions and potatoes. Chop them and put them in a pot with
some water. Boil them until tender, about 15 minutes. Strain into the
primary fermenter. Discard the pulp. Boil about 1 quart of water and
dissolve the sugar in it. Add this when it is cool enough. Crush the Campden
tablet and add to the primary. Add all the other ingredients except the
yeast. Make up the volume to 1 gallon with water. Allow the mixture to stand
overnight or for 24 hours. The next day, pitch the yeast according to the
instructions on the packet, Cover the primary and allow the wine to ferment.
Stir it at least once a day. When the primary fermentation is complete, in
about 5 days, put the wine into the secondary fermenter, make up the volume
with water if necessary Rack as necessary until still and clear. It will
probably be at least three months before it is ready for bottling.
-----------------------------------
Onion Wine (5 Gallons)
21/2 Pounds Onions
21/2 Pounds Potatoes
21/2 Pints White Grape Concentrate or 5 pounds of Raisins
35 Pints Water
111/4 Pounds Sugar
10 Teaspoons Acid Blend
5 Teaspoons Nutrient
5 - Campden, crushed
1 Package Wine Yeast
Method:
Don't tell your friends what it is until they've tried some. It's a
surprising wine that even works well for marinating meats or whatever.
1. Wash and peel onions. Chop up onions and potatoes.
2. Put in nylon straining bag, tie top, and put in pot with water. Boil
until tender (about 15 minutes). Strain off and press pulp into pot. Discard
pulp. Pour liqueur in pot into primary fermenter.
3. Stir in all other ingredients EXCEPT yeast. If using raisins, chop up and
put in bag, tie, put in primary. Cover primary.
4. After 24 hours, add yeast. Cover primary.
5. Stir daily, check Specific Gravity.
6. When ferment reaches S.G. of 1.040 (about 3 to 5 days) strain juice off
raisins and siphon wine off sediment into 6.5 gallon glass carboy secondary.
Attach airlock.
7. When ferment is complete (S.G. has reached 1.000 -- after 3 weeks) siphon
off sediment into clean 5 gallon glass carboy secondary. Reattach airlock.
8. To aid clearing siphon again in 2 months and again if necessary before
bottling.
---------------------------------------------------
Onion Wine
1 lb sweet Vidalia onions
1/2 lb potato
1 lb golden raisins
2 lemons (zest and juice)
21/2 lbs fine granulated sugar
71/2 pts water
1 crushed Campden tablet
1/2 tsp pectic enzyme
1 tsp yeast nutrient
1 pkt Champagne wine yeast
Chop or mince raisins and soak overnight in pint of warm water. Thinly slice
onions and potato into remaining water. Put on heat and bring to a simmer,
holding simmer for 45 minutes. Grate zest from lemons and combine zest with
raisins. Transfer raisins and zest into nylon straining bag in primary. Add
sugar to primary. Strain onions and potato, pouring hot water over sugar and
discarding pulp. Add juice from lemons and yeast nutrient, then stir until
sugar is completely dissolved. Cover with clean cloth and set aside to cool.
When at room temperature, add crushed Campden tablet and stir. Recover
primary and set aside for 12 hours. Add pectic enzyme, stir, recover
primary, and set aside another 12 hours. Add activated yeast. Stir daily for
14 days. Drip drain nylon straining bag (do not squeeze) over primary,
recover and allow to settle overnight. Rack liquid into secondary, top up if
required and fit airlock. Rack, top up and refit airlock every 30 days until
wine clears and no new sediments form during a 30-day period. Stabilize,
sweeten to taste, wait 10 days, and rack into bottles. Allow to age 6 months
before tasting.
