New Year's Cookies (Portzelky)

Contributed by Amy Epp Total Prep Time: 1 hr Servings: 2 doz. (?) Amy says: I have loved New Year's Cookies - really a deep-fried raisin fritter - since I was a child and my Grandma Reimer made them. When I moved to Washington, I discovered that they are also a beloved tradition at the Mennonite Country Auction, where the substitution of dried cherries or blueberries for raisins was a revelation! They've since become one of the few foods from my Mennonite heritage that are a non-negotiable tradition. I usually make them for breakfast/snacks on New Year's Day. This recipe is slightly adapted from one of five recipes for New Year's Cookies in "The Mennonite Treasury of Recipes," a Canadian Mennonite classic originally published in the early 1960s. Ingredients: 1 tsp sugar 1/2 cup lukewarm water 1 pkg (2 1/4 tsp) dry yeast 1/2 cup milk 1/2 cup water 1/2 tbsp salt 1 tbsp sugar 2 tsp baking powder 1/2 - 3/4 lb raisins (or dried ...

East Indian Spinach and Lentils (Baji Dhal)

Contributed by Megan Ramer Total Prep Time: 30 min. Servings: 6 Megan says: My "Extending the Table" cookbook automatically opens to this page. It was one of the first things I learned to cook in my first college apartment, alongside my two roommates. It is my go-to comfort food several decades later. 95% of the time that I sign up to take a meal to a household, THIS is what I bring. It's only in pulling out the recipe to submit for this project that I notice the initial contributor of this recipe was none other than Kim Warren, a former member of Seattle Mennonite Church whom some of you know! I. LOVE. LENTILS. :) Ingredients: 3 T oil 1 large onion 4 cloves garlic, minced 2 T ginger root, finely chopped 2 t whole cumin seed 2 t curry powder 2 t salt 1 fresh hot chili pepper, seeded, chopped 2 c red lentils 6 c water 2-3 large potatoes 1 bunch spinach, chopped 2 T cilantro, chopped basmati rice OPTIONAL: chutney(s) tomatoes cucumbers yogurt...
