Recipes : Little Meat Empanadas: Empanadillas de Carne : Food Network

Tue, 26 Feb 2008 11:17:47 -0000

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

Picadillo-filling:
1 pound hamburger beef (could also be chorizo, which is Spanish sausage)
2 tablespoons cooking oil or olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 small green pepper, chopped
1 teaspoon oregano
1 small can tomato sauce
1 small box raisins
Chopped olives, to taste
1/4 cup (cooking) dry white wine
Salt and pepper

The beef should be thawed, if frozen, set aside. In a large saute pan, heat the oil. Add the onion, garlic, and pepper and saute. When they're soft, add the oregano, tomato sauce, raisins, and chopped olives. This should be at medium heat from now on. Add the ground beef.

Pour the wine over the beef mixture and cover to cook through. Add salt and pepper, to taste. Once its almost cooked, uncover, and let dry up to a juicy but dry look to it.

Never use if it is runny. That's the trick.

Pastry:
5 cups all-purpose flour
5 tablespoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 whole eggs lightly beaten
3/4 cups sugar, make a syrup with 1/3 cup water, simmered until sugar dissolves let cool
2 ounces melted butter, cooled
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup white dry cooking wine

Sift the flour with the baking powder and the salt. Pour this into a large bowl. Pour in the rest of the ingredients. Work this with a fork, trying to bring together all the ingredients but never beating or mixing. Once it?s all "together" and not sticky...you're ready to make Empanadillas.

ASSEMBLING THE EMPANADILLAS: Prepare your table by spreading some flour to keep the mixture from sticking. You will need a roller, a knife and a fork. Your filling should be at hand. Take a small amount of the flour mixture (a ball that can fit in your hand) and you roll it out in the shape of a plate to a thickness of about 1/8-inch.

Take a spoonful of the filling and place it in the middle half of the pastry and fold the top over the filling to look like a half moon. Seal the inside of the pastry by wetting your fingers with water and rubbing the border of the half moon. Take a knife and cut a perfect pastry half-moon. Now take the fork and press down the borders of the circular shape to seal. Fry the half moon in hot oil.

Even if you split this "starter" with three friends, you'll have downed a dinner's worth of calories before your entree arrives. Follow this up with a steak, sides, and a dessert and you could easily break the 3,500 calorie barrier.

A killer on the shelves: the shocking truth about children's food

Tue, 29 Jan 2008 10:49:42 -0000

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

According to campaigners, the high level of salt in the British diet kills 35,000 people a year. About 70,000 strokes and heart attacks annually are caused by excess sodium consumption; half end in death. That means the death toll from salt is 10 times more than the 3,172 road deaths in 2006, and the 1,608 deaths from illegal drugs in 2005.

The saltiness of popular grocery items has been uncovered by Consensus Action on Salt and Health (Cash) which previously exposed the hidden quantities in fast food. Researchers checked 73 goods made by the likes of Tesco, Heinz and Dairylea and found dozens of salty products, with up to 4.3 grams per 100g, despite the Food Standards Agency's warning that 1.5g salt per 100g is "high" for adults.

Naples Sun Times - Manufacturers spend billions to ruin your diet

Fri, 18 Aug 2006 08:22:18 -0000

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

*In cereal ads, bowls are filled to the brim. In reality, a 2/3 cup of cereal fills only half of the average cereal bowl. If you are used to filling your cereal bowl to the top, use a measuring cup to see exactly what you are getting.

*In beef and pork ads, the calorie and fat counts are for three-ounce portions of meat. This is equivalent to the size of a deck of cards. The photos in these ads are for much larger servings, perhaps a whole roast or nine ounces of meat on a dinner plate.

*Commercials for ice cream often show people eating directly from a pint or half gallon container. Similarly, people are seen eating chips and popcorn directly out of "family" size bags. The reality is that "one serving" is l0 chips, - cup ice cream and one cup of popcorn.

*The fast food commercials will show a customer with a large cheeseburger, large fries and a large drink or shake. Restaurant commercials will show people enjoying huge platefuls of food - salad bar fixings, loaded baked potato, bread, 6 to 12 ounces of meat and fried shrimp. The food in these meals could easily satisfy two or three people.

Another way the food companies entice us to buy more food is by simply supplying an enormous variety of packaged foods. The average number of products carried by a typical supermarket has more than tripled since l980, from 15,000 to 50,000. More than two-thirds of these products were condiments, candy and snacks, baked goods, soft drinks, cheese products and ice cream novelties - much of it loaded with empty calories.
