Dear Phaed,
I was surprised to see a request for a Stephenson's Apple Farm recipe.
That was a special place for us 'back in the day'. I even bought their
little cookbook, but, alas, it has no zucchini recipe. I'm including,
however, our favorite one for Green Rice, a "specialty of the house", which
we used to enjoy with their Baked Chicken 'n' Butter and Cream. Yum!
I fixed this rice when I was a young bride and thought of it as a major
accomplishment at the time. Seems funny now, but the recipe is still delicious.
Stephenson's Apple Farm Restaurant Green Rice
(Makes 10 servings)
3 cups cooked rice
1 cup chopped parsley
1/2 cup grated Cheddar cheese
1/3 cup chopped onion
1/4 cups chopped green pepper
1 clove garlic, minced
14-1/2 oz can evaporated milk
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 Tablespoon salt
1/2 teaspoon each seasoned salt and pepper
1/4 teaspoon Ac'cent, monosodium glutamate
Juice and grated rind of 1 lemon
Mix rice, parsley, cheese, onion, green pepper, and garlic in greased 2-quart casserole.
Blend rest of ingredients. Mix into rice. Sprinkle with paprika. Bake at 350 deg F,
about 45 minutes, or until like a soft custard.

Subject: a Slovakian dumpling
Hello Uncle Phaedrus,
While I was a child in southwestern Michigan, there was Slovakian
restaurants and bakerys.
We went to the restaurant several times to eat the Roast Duckling,
which was served with sauerkraut and a delicious dumpling. It was
snow white, and very porous, with many wholes throughout.
I tried to duplicate the dumpling, and steamed it but it came out all
brownish and nothing like I remember. I want to serve my husband
Roast Duck and would love it if you could find me a recipe.
I live in the Ozark region of Missouri, and my name is Barbara.
Thank you for your help in this effort, for I remember how delicious it
was served with the duck.
Thank you very much.
Barbara
Hello Barbara,
The only "Slovakian dumplings" recipe that I can find is here:
IFood.TV
There is a roast duck with Czech dumplings recipe here:
Emperor's Crumbs
There is a Czech bread dumplings recipe here:
Eastern European Food
There is a Czech potato dumplings recipe here:
Potato Dumplings
This is about the best I can do for you without knowing the exact Slovakian or
Czech name for the dumplings you had.
