TODAY's CASES: Huaraches Dobosh Torte Sweet Potato Tomato Bisque Chocolate Mousse Balls Betty Crocker Spareribs Huaraches ----- Original Message ----- From: "Patti" To: phaedrus Sent: Tuesday, September 16, 2003 10:11 PM Subject: recipe for huarache help i had a great huarache (sandal shaped corn tortilla topped with beans and meat, etc) in sayulita mexico and would like a recipe can you send it to me? Thanks Patti Hi Patti, See below. Phaed Huaraches Mexican huaraches are a special kind of tostada. It's vegetables, meat, salsa, and cheese mounded on a thick, toasted tortilla that's shaped like the sole of a shoe. Traditionally, the tortilla is made from masa dough, whipped up in seconds from dehydrated masa flour and laden with lard. But a little baking powder used instead of lard produces lean, tender results as easily and quickly. - Ingredients 2 cups dehydrated masa flour (corn tortilla flour) 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 3/4 cups fat-skimmed chicken broth 1 can (15 oz.) refried beans Chicken, beef, pork, or mushroom topping (separate recipes) 2 cups shredded cabbage About 1/2 cup tomato or green tomatillo salsa About 1/4 cup crumbled cotija or feta cheese About 1/4 cup nonfat or reduced-fat sour cream Salt and pepper Directions 1. In a bowl, stir masa flour, baking powder, salt, and broth until dough holds together well, adding a little water if needed. 2. Divide dough into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion into a 6-inch-long log on a sheet of waxed paper. Pat each log into a 1/8-inch-thick oval, about 4 by 8 inches. (If shaped ahead, stack with waxed paper, wrap airtight, and refrigerate up to 2 hours.) 3. Place a griddle or 2 frying pans (10 to 12 in.) over medium-high heat. When pan is hot, flip masa dough onto pan and peel off paper. Cook until bottom of masa is light brown, about 3 minutes. Use a wide spatula to turn huaraches over. 4. Spread about 1/4 of the beans over each huarache. Cover beans with 1/4 of the chicken topping. Cook until huarache bottoms are lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. With a wide spatula, transfer to plates. 5. Top huaraches equally with shredded cabbage, salsa, cheese, sour cream, salt, and pepper to taste. Dobosh Torte ----- Original Message ----- From: Fern To: Phaedras Sent: Wednesday, September 17, 2003 8:39 AM Subject: recipes > Hi, > > I am from Cleveland, Ohio and now living in Williamstown, MA. I am longing for two recipes that I enjoyed while growing up. The other recipe is the fabulous Dobrosh Torte or Seven layer cake from Lox and Mandel Kosher Bakery in also in Cleveland. Oh how I would enjoy preparing these for my family and friends. Hope you can perform your Magic. Thanks Fern > > Hello Fern, I could not find a recipe from Lox and Mandel. However there are two good Dobosh Torte recipes below. Phaed Title: Dobosh Torte Categories: Cakes, Chocolate Yield: 1 servings -----cake----- 6 Eggs; separated 3/4 c Cake flour; sifted twice 1 1/2 c Confectioners' sugar; sifted 1 ts Baking powder -----chocolate buttercream----- 1 c Sugar 1/3 c Water 1/4 ts Cream of tartar 4 Egg yolks 1 1/2 c Sweet butter; softened 6 oz Semi-sweet chocolate morsels 4 tb Strong coffee 1/2 ts Vanilla extract CAKE: Beat the yolks at medium speed until they are lemon in color, and thick. Add the sugar and continue to beat until well blended. Sift the baking powder into the four. Then fold into the egg yolk mixture.Beat the whites until stiff, then fold them into the mix gently. Grease the pans ~ two round if making four layers, or two loaf if making seven. Line the bottoms with wax paper, that has been greased. Pour in the batter and bake in preheated oven at 350~F for 15-20 minutes or until tester comes out clean. Turn out immediately and remove the wax paper. Cool on racks top side up. Make thin slices when cool and start to frost with a cut side up and then keep layering. Cover the entire torte with the buttercream and then melt down semi sweet chocolate to melting point stirring well. Chill the cake and when firm pour over the dark chocolate making sure that the sides are covered.Chill to harden. Remove to new plate so drips are not seen. FROSTING: Mix sugar, water and cream of tartar in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Boil over med heat for to 234 degree on candy thermometer. In a large bowl with a mixer beat the eggs until thick. Add the butter in small pieces and beat well. Combine chocolate and the coffee in a saucepan and heat gently until chocolate is melted and mixed. Add this and the vanilla to the bowl and beat well. If buttercream starts to not hold up refrigerate for a few mins and then beat again. ----------------------------------------------- Dobosh Torte - Seven Layer Torte Yield: 12 servings 7 eggs, separate out yolks 3 egg yolks, additional 3 1/2 cups confectioner's sugar, (1 pound) 3/4 cup sifted all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1/8 teaspoon salt FILLING AND ICING: 1/2 pound (good quality) semisweet or bittersweet chocolate 1 cup butter 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 3 egg yolks *SEE NOTE 2 tablespoons confectioner's sugar *NOTE: Frosting contains raw egg yolks. To prepare for baking seven layers (the usual number): Tear off seven piece of aluminum foil, or baking pan liner paper (NOTE 1), each about 11-inches long. Spread softened butter lightly over a 10-inch square area in the center of each piece of foil or paper. Sprinkle with flour. Shake and tilt the foil or paper to make sure the buttered area is thoroughly floured and shake off any excess. On the floured area trace a 9-inch circle. (Use any 9-inch circular object as a pattern: the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, an inverted 9-inch cake tin, or a 9-inch pot cover.) Repeat with remaining pieces of foil or paper. Set aside. Place rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees. In the large bowl of an electric mixer at high speed, beat the 10 egg yolks for a few minutes until they are pale and lemon-colored. Reduce speed and gradually add sugar. Increase speed to high again and and beat for 5 minutes or until very thick. Reduce speed and gradually add the flour, then again increase it to high and beat for 5 minutes more (mixture will be almost stiff), scraping the bowl occasionally with a rubber spatula. Mix in the lemon juice and remove from the mixer. (The mixture will be very thick-use your fingers to get it all off the beaters.) Beat the seven whites with the salt until they hold a point- stiff, but not dry. Since the yolk mixture is very thick, actually stir a few spoonfuls of the whites in to lighten it a bit. Then fold in a few large spoonfuls three or four times until the mixture lightens. Gently fold in the remaining whites. With a large serving spoon, place two or three large spoonfuls of the batter on one of the pieces of prepared foil or paper. Using the back of the spoon, spread the batter thin, slowly rotating the paper with your left hand as you spread the batter with your right hand. Make it thin, but do not leave any holes in it. A 1/4- inch thickness should give you seven layers. Do not make the edges too thin. Follow the lines closely, but don't worry, the edges can be trimmed later. Slide a cookie sheet under the foil or paper and bake for 5 to 7 minutes or until the top is golden brown with dark brown spots. If the layers are thicker than mine are, they will take longer to bake. If they are not baked long enough they will stick to the foil or paper. Repeat with remaining layers. If you bake more than one layer at a time, rotate the positions of the pans during baking to insure even browning. When a layer is baked and out of the oven, lift the corners of the foil or paper and invert onto a rack. Peel off the paper and immediately invert the layer onto another rack to cool, right side up. (Letting the layer cool upside down will make it stick to the rack.) When you run out of racks, layers may cool on smooth toweling that has been dusted with confectioner's sugar. When you run out of room, cooled layers may be stacked if you sprinkle the tops lightly with confectioner's sugar and place wax paper between them. Cooled layers may be trimmed to even the edges. Working on a board, place an 8-1/2 inch or 9-inch pot cover or cake pan on the layer. Cut around with a small sharp knife and then cut with scissors. FILLING AND ICING: Melt the chocolate in the top of a double boiler over hot water on moderate heat. Remove from heat, stir until smooth, and set aside to cool completely. In small bowl of electric mixer cream the butter. Add vanilla and egg yolks and beat well. Add sugar and cooled chocolate. Beat until thoroughly mixed, scraping the bowl with a rubber spatula. Place four strips of wax paper around the outer edges of a cake plate. Place one cake layer on the plate and with a long, narrow metal spatula spread with a thin layer of the chocolate filling. If you have made more than seven layers, the filling must be spread very thin, in order to have enough for all. Place another layer on top, adjusting it carefully so that the edges are lined up evenly. Continue icing the layers, stacking them as evenly as possible. Spread the remaining chocolate smoothly around the sides first and then over the top. Remove wax paper strips by pulling each one out by a narrow end and refrigerate cake for at least several hours to set the icing. Store in refrigerator and serve cold. If you use baking pan liner paper it must be buttered and floured for this recipe or the layers will stick to it. This is a very firm cake; use a sharp heavy knife for serving. Dobosh Torte may be made a day ahead, or it may be frozen.

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: Chokladboll Yours Thirzah Thanks, Thirzah. The recipe is here: Chokladbollar "Chokladbollar" seems to me to be an appropriate name.
