Hi Rosanna,
I think that somewhere along the line before the recipe got to you, the
correct spelling of the cheese got lost - someone wrote it down as they
heard it instead of writing down the correct spelling.
I believe that the cheese you mean is "caciocavallo". This is a cheese of
Southern Italy that is similar to provolone. The name "caciocavallo" means
"cheese on horseback", which has led some writers to believe that it was
originally made from mare's milk. Today it's made from cow's milk.
You can buy it in Cheese shops, Italian grocery stores & delis, and online here:
caciocavallo 1
Caciocavallo 2
Caciocavallo 3
Thanks for the recipe.

Hello Rich,
See below for three recipes.

Hard Fudge
Combine 1-cup butter
1 can evaporated milk
5 cups of sugar.
Bring to a rolling boil. Boil for exactly 8 minutes. Remove from heat.
Add in 2 cups miniature marshmallows and 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips.
Then dump into a jellyroll pan.
It usually is hardening as I'm pouring it and it is a harder fudge
rather than the soft stuff that we all dislike.
------------------------------
The Best Fudge On The Planet
3 C. sugar
3 Tablespoons cocoa
3/4 C. milk
Cook it on medium heat until it reaches the soft ball stage (250°F on a
candy
thermometer).
Remove from heat.
Add
1/4 to 1/2 stick butter
1 teaspoon Vanilla
pinch of salt
Big spoonful of peanut butter
Beat it until it looses its gloss.
Pour it into a buttered dish or pan as soon as it starts to set
Let it cool.
You can cut it or slam it on the counter to break it.
----------------------------------------------------
Old-Fashioned Hard Fudge
In 3 qt heavy saucepan, combine:
1 C condensed milk (NOT sweetened!)
2-3 TBSP butter
2 Oz unsweetened baking chocolate, broken into small chunks (Hershey's
works much better than Bakers for no good reason I know of, at least
in this recipe. Callibaut also works very well)
2 C white granulated sugar
.25 tsp salt
2-3 TBSP corn syrup (I use light right now, either works)
Combine. Heat slowly until chocolate is melted, stirring
fanatically. Heat a bit faster, wiping sides down to keep chocolate
from scorching and sugar from crystallizing on sides. Heat slowly until
near soft-ball. Stir fanatically or beat until chocolate is well
emulsified. Wipe down sides again. DO NOT STIR ANY MORE UNTIL IT'S OFF
THE HEAT. Continue cooking until between softball and medium-ball. I
don't know what temperature, I use the old-fashioned cold-water test
and it works every time. If you stop at a classical softball, the
results won't quite crystallize, and you'll have something very much
like chocolate toffee. If you go to medium, you will have HARD fudge.
Sorry, but that's how it works.
When cooked, remove from heat and put into pan of cold water (to stop
the cooking). Let cool until it's possible to touch the syrup (BE
CAREFUL!) without disturbing it.
Add .5 to 1 cup of walnuts, black walnuts, or pecans, depending on what
you have/like. You can omit the nuts altogether if you want.
Add 1 tsp vanilla.
Add 1 TBSP dark rum, optionally.
Start beating with a strong spoon. The mixture will, soon after it's
all combined, start to glaze over, and start to get thicker. When it
looses its shine, put into a buttered 8x8 pan FAST. (it hardens very
quickly if you're at the right point in cooking) Cut. Let cook and
set.
From Irini:
Wild Rice Bread
Rice flour recipes are a dime a dozen in cookbooks and on the internet.
But real wild rice flour recipes are as rare as hen’s teeth.
I hail from the Mohawk River region in New York. My grandfather used
to go mushroom picking near Rome Air Base. My grandmother made an
“Indian” soup with the dried mushrooms and wild rice. She also made a
kind of a cakey busquit muffins using ground up wild rice seeds (similar
to recipes found in Canada, Minnesota, and Maine).. They were very rich
and enjoyable with her homemade currant jelly or concord grape jam.
Here is the recipe, you may share it if you like. comments in () are mine.
“make the oven to be 340 degrees to 350 degrees F. 170 degrees C at home.
(grandma came from Europe)grind up enough wild rice seeds in a mortar and
pestle until you get 1 dry cup of wild rice flour. measure out 4 dry cups
of unbleached baking flour. soften up about a pound to a pound and three
quarters of fresh sweet butter give or take a few tablespoons (this worked
out to around 16 to 18 oz of butter!) measure 1 dry cup of some sweetener
(notes included granular white sugar, crystallized maple sugar, molasses
sugar, cane sugar and light brown sugar that has been dried out) in a big
wooden bowl mix up everything with the hands until soft but firm mess is
done. break into thirds. take the iron cake pan and grease it with Crisco.
(she had 9 inch iron cake baking pans)then press a batch into each pan.
Bake one hour or until light brown. Move the three pans around the oven
while baking to make even rising. Cool no more than 10 minutes. turn
upside down on a cooling rack. knock out. sprinkle sugar on top.
finish cooling.”
This is not related to wild rice bread but it is a wild rice recipe that
I remember always being made just after the Sunday after All Saints’ Day.
(supposedly it came from my long lost grand-uncle who disappeared into
the Canadian wilds) I have seen other recipes like it.
Iroquois Wild Mushroom and Wild Rice Soup
1 to 2 pounds well fatted venison meat cut into cubes. (skip if you
want a vegetarian soup) at room temp.(pork or beef soaked in milk
overnight can substitute for the venison)
2 TBS lard, cooking oil, geez, or butter
12 oz dried wild mushrooms (i have made this with chantrelle, morel,
porcini, shitaki and oyster mushrooms but NOTHING tastes as good as
when i make it with the wild mushrooms grandpa picked and dried on
screens in the sun. the name of those mushrooms i will never know
but we called them a word that would be translated as “real mushrooms”)
note: if you are using dried mushrooms soak them in enough water to
cover them for at least 30 minutes or until they are fully hydrated
then put a coffee filter in a collender and pour the mushrooms and their
water through it. remove the mushrooms and wash any residual sand from
them. used the filtered mushroom water in the soup base. make up the
7 C of liquid with broth, stock or water; as you like)
6 to twelve cleaned and chopped wild cucumber roots (i have substituted
1 diced carrot or a can of drained water chestnuts; the Indian Cucumber
Root is a perennial that grows in the local woods in rich damp soil.
the plant has a white rootstock that tastes and smells like cucumbers
with a pungent twist. it tastes great but they are not as abundant as
they once were and i do not like destroying habitat to dig them up.)
6 C broth from boiling the venison to make the stew. (i have substituted
chicken broth or home made vegetable stock when venison stock was not
available; you can see this is a flexible recipe)
6 to 10 wild New York Wild Nodding onions, Alium cernuum, sliced up
(or use a small chopped onion or enough scallions to your taste)
2 to 3 Meadow Garlic, Allium canadense, or Field Garlic, Allium vineale,
[naturalized from Europe] (or just go to the supermarket for some fine
garlic and use that)
1/3 C uncooked wild "rice" seeds
1 tsp dried wild thyme (thyme grows wild around here. the plants are
descended from herbs brought over by Europeans and are considered a weed)
1 Ostrich Fern, Matteuccia Struthiopteris, cleaned and chopped up
(substitute one rib of washed celery sliced. finding the ferns and
harvesting them are a pain in the butt)
1/4 C sherry (optional: a modern anachronism i slipped in)
heat 1 TBS of oil in a large pot, sear the meat pieces on all sides
(skip this if you are going vegetarian) remove meat and set aside.
add the rest of the oil. saute the onion until translucent (4 min).
toss in the garlic and veggies and cover the pot. cook for 5 minutes.
remove the pot cover. pour in the stock, rice, thyme, and optional
sherry. bring to a boil then reduce the heat to simmer and cover the
pot. cook on a slow simmer for about an hour or until the rice is
soft. you may like to add more stock or water. this soup base gets
thickened slightly as the rice cooks. cooking takes about an hour.
serve with some good bread.
Rice Flour Scones #54904 by triscuitnut Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
This is a good recipe for those allergic to regular flour. However,
it is a recipe that takes a few practice runs to get comfortable with,
as working with rice flour is very different than regular flour. Also,
adding fruit or flavoring is very important, as these are very bland
otherwise. 35 minutes 20 mins prep
2 1/2 cups rice flour
1 cup tapioca flour
3 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons xanthan gum
1/2 teaspoon salt
8 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup cold butter, in 1/2 inch pieces
1 1/3 cups plain yogurt
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place flours, baking powder, baking soda, xanthum gum, salt and sugar
in food processor. Pulse on and off just enough to combine ingredients.
Add butter and pulse 15-20 times until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
With a fork or whisk, combine eggs and yogurt in a small bowl.
Pour over flour mixture in the food processor and process for about
10 second or until dough forms large curds.
Turn dough onto counter, form into circle and cut into triangles.
It will not be as stiff as"normal" doughs, so you have to treat it very gently.
Bake about 12-15 minutes until a light golden brown.
You can add a variety of things to this basic recipe to make them taste
pretty decent. Just about any flavorings, fruits, etc. can be added.
Just be prepared to adjust accordingly for the difference you will find with
the moisture of the batch.
Do not handle this dough any more than you have to-- it’s one of those doughs
that needs to be done “just so”.
Too much of one thing will give you sand, too much of another will give you
goo.

Wild Rice Crepes:
1 egg 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil 3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup cooked wild rice 1/2 cup all purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons wild rice, buckwheat or more all purpose flour
Filling:
8 ounce tub spreadable cream cheese 1/4 English cucumber (approx.)
1 head red leaf lettuce, washed, dried, and torn into pieces
5 oz thinly sliced smoked trout or salmon
Fresh chives
Preparation Instructions:
Crepes: In a bowl, beat together egg, oil and milk. Stir in wild rice.
In another bowl, combine flour, wild rice flour and salt. Beat egg mixture
into flour mixture until smooth. Set aside for 15 minutes. Check consistency -
it should be similar to light cream, adjust with milk or flour.
Heat a non-stick 8 inch crepe pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add a
little oil and pour in enough batter to just cover bottom of pan, about
3 tablespoons. Swirl pan to evenly spread batter.
Cook until top loses its wet look and is lightly browned on underside.
flip over and cook over side briefly. Allow to cool and stack between
pieces of parchment paper. Continue making crepes, adjusting heat as
needed. Cover and refrigerate, they can be make up to one day before.
Filling: Rolls can be assembled a few hours before serving. Soften cream
cheese in microwave to make spreading easy. Cut cucumber into 28 julienne
pieces, each about 2 inches x 1/4 inch. Place a crepe on a cutting board
and spread with a thin layer of cream cheese. Cut crepe into 4 quarters.
Place a piece of lettuce so the edge slightly overhangs the outer curved
edge of crepe. Put a small piece of smoked trout on lettuce, and a cucumber
stick and a chive sprig in center. Roll into a cone shape pressing some of
the cream cheese out to seal the seam (use a toothpick if the crepe doesn't
quite stick together). Continue until all of the wrappers are used. Arrange
on serving plate, cover and refrigerate before serving. Garnish platter with
chives. Makes about 24 -28 rolls
Wild Rice Bread
3 1/2 to 4 cups bread or all purpose flour
2 cups whole wheat flour
2 (1/4 ounce) packages quick rise dry yeast
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 cup milk
1 cup water
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup butter or margarine
2 cups cooked wild rice (Nature's Quick Cook Rice is perfect for this recipe)
softened butter as needed
In large mixer bowl combine 1 cup bread flour, whole wheat flour, yeast,
and salt. In saucepan heat milk, water, honey, and butter to 120 to 130
degrees. Butter does not have to melt. Add flour to mixture, blend at
low speed until moistened. Beat 3 minutes at medium speed. By hand, stir
in wild rice and enough remaining flour to make a soft dough that pulls
away from the side of the bowl. Turn dough on to floured surface, knead
until smooth and elastic, 5 to 8 minutes, adding flour if necessary to
prevent sticking. Place in greased bowl; turn dough greased side up.
Cover let rise in warm place until double. 30 to 40 minutes.
Grease 2 - 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch loaf pans. Punch dough down, turn on to
lightly floured surface, and divide into 2 parts. Cover with bowl and
let rest 15 minutes. Roll each part into 6 x 14 inch rectangle. Starting
with narrow end, roll up tightly pressing dough into roll with each turn.
Pinch edges and ends to seal. Place in pans. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Cover dough let rise until double. 20 to 25 minutes. Dough will be about
1 inch above pan at highest point. Bake until golden brown and loaves
sound hollow when lightly tapped, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from pans,
cool on wire racks. Brush top of loaves with melted butter.
Makes 2 loaves.

Minnesota Wild Rice Bread
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups water
3/4 cup wild rice
2 1/2 cups warm water (110-115 degrees)
1/2 cup sugar or honey
2 Tbsp active dry yeast
5 cups whole-wheat flour
2 tsp salt
2-4 cups unbleached flour
Directions
In a medium saucepan, bring the 1 1/2 cups water to a boil. Add the
wild rice and return to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low and
cook for 45 minutes, or until the water is absorbed. Set aside to cool.
Pour the warm water into a large bowl. Stir in 1 Tbsp of the sugar or
honey and sprinkle the yeast on top. Set aside to proof for 5 to 10
minutes. Stir in 2 1/2 cups of the whole-wheat flour. Beat well for
3 minutes with an electric mixer (or beat vigorously by hand).
Add the salt, wild rice and remaining sugar or honey. Turn out onto
a floured counter and knead in the remaining 2 1/2 cups whole-wheat
flour and enough of the unbleached flour to form a workable dough.
Knead for 10minutes, or until smooth, elastic and only a little sticky.
Form into a ball. Lightly coat a large bowl with a little oil. Add the
dough and turn the ball to coat with the oil. Cover the bowl and set
aside in a warm place (80-85°), allowing the dough to rise for 1 hour,
or until doubled in size. Lightly oil two 9x5-inch loaf pans. Punch
down the dough and divide it in half. Shape the dough into 2 loaves
and place in the prepared pans. Cover and let rise in a warm place
for 30-45 minutes, or until doubled in size. Preheat over to 350°.
Bake for 45 minutes, or until the loaves sound hollow when tapped
on the bottom. Remove the bread from the pans. Set aside to let cool
on a wire rack.
take care and thanks again for the recipes.
