Subject: Zambuca Flavored Vinagarette
Recently, we ate at D'Amico's Italian Restaurant in the Bloomfield section of Pittsburgh, PA.
They made the most wonderful spinach salad with fried pancetta bits, red onion slices, and
shaved parmesan -- but the dressing was amazing -- it was a zambuca flavored vinaigrette --
the zambuca flavor was very mild, not overpowering, but nonetheless, you certainly could taste
the wonder anise flavor. The waitress said that it was warmed slightly and then poured over
the spinach salad.
Can you find this recipe for me????
Paula
Hello Paula,
I think you mean "sambuca". Sorry, there is no recipe available for the sambuca vinaigrette from
D'Amico's. There are only two sambuca vinaigrette recipes on the web that I can find. Here's one:
Sambuca Vinaigrette:
juice of a lemon
2 T Sambuca
2 cloves garlic
2 T basil
dash pepper
The other is in this *.pdf file:

Okay
I have one that could stump you:
I had these recipes prior to my house fire in 1995 and lost them.
It was from the Rocky Mt News.
I know I am supposed to have the name, but I don't remember. It was a sausage and banana wok dish
that had some amazing exotic combinations of food though I can not remember the other ingredients.
Maybe chili powder?
It was obviously prior to the end of 2/1995 (my fire) and was in the recipe/maybe Wednesday section
of the paper.
If you find the recipe I will make you some also!!!
Giuliana
Hi Giuliana,
Well, I cannot find a recipe like that one that so much as mentions the Rocky Mountain News,
and without the exact name of the recipe, there's little chance of finding it otherwise.
However, I did find the below recipe that has bananas and sausage and some pretty exotic
combinations of ingredients, so I thought I'd pass it along to you.
Phaed
Malaysian Melange
1 c. rice (white, brown, yellow)
2 c. water
3 cubes or a dollop of chicken bouillon
Make rice in normal fashion but with bouillon or chicken stock. Heat until fairly dry--set aside.
Basic Curry:
2 tsp. ground coriander
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. ground turmeric
1/2 tsp. ground ginger (fresh is better)
1/2 tsp. ground mustard
1/2 tsp. (more or less depending upon your palate) ground chilies
1/2 tsp. feunegrek (helps but not necessary)
Vinegar--enough to make paste of above
A dab of allspice
Enough of your choice of cooking oil to fry onions.
Fry curry paste while stirring (2 or 3 min.)
1 lg. onion
Garlic-as much as you can stand
Salt-to taste,
scallions-to put in at the end
peanuts-1 gill near the end
2 eggs
Coconut cream to taste
Sausage--sliced paper thin
Buttermilk and/or yogurt - some
Bananas--ripe--2 med. (add at end)
Chicken and/or eggplant and/or zucchini
After you fried the basic curry paste, throw in the onions and some additional oil and fry
2 or 3 minutes. Then throw in and fry the meat until almost cooked (but not the shrimp).
Then the vegetables (if any, but not bananas yet) and the eggs, and the coconut cream and
buttermilk/yogurt. Cook until vegetables are almost done. Add rice, sausage, bananas,
peanuts. After it's all combined and hot, while the rice is absorbing the sauce--add the
scallions--saving some for the top--along with some fresh peanuts and sausage slices.

Hi there,
I was searching for a recipe for delicato balls and found your page
https://www.hungrybrowser.com/phaedrus/m1023TH03.htm#4
However, i knew they were made from oatmeal so searched further. The reason you might have
had trouble finding the recipe is due to some controversy over the name of these sweets (which
are, incidentally, quite delicious). I will not cast judgement but will refer you to the
wikipedia page which in turn links to a recipe.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chokladboll
Yours
Thirzah
Thanks, Thirzah. The recipe is here:
