Orange & Saffron Cookies
I made these delicious homemade cookies as part of a
Persian/Moroccan feast I had for friends, but they'd be perfect any time. They're
simple to make,
the only help I needed was a rubber spatula to blend the orange rind and ground
saffron into the softened butter.
I
hadn't planned on making them when I put together my menu, but I had oranges and
saffron, and the recipe looked so simple I decided to try them. I was glad I did.
We enjoyed their delicate and exotic flavor.
Orange Saffron Butter Cookies
1
stick unsalted butter
- softened
2 pinches saffron threads - finely ground
1/2 tablespoon orange
rind
1/3 cup sugar
2 large egg yolks
1 1/8 cups all purpose flour
Leave
the butter out to soften. Grind saffron threads to powder. Place the softened
butter in a large bowl. Work the ground saffron and orange rind into the butter.
Blend in the sugar. Add the egg yolks, one at a time, blending well. Add the flour,
form into a soft ball of dough. Don't over mix. Wrap dough ball in plastic wrap
and place in refrigerator.
Get dough out of refrigerator about 1 hour before
cooking. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Break off a piece of dough and roll into
3/4" balls. Place on ungreased cookie sheet (they don't spread much so you
can put them fairly close together). Press tops down with tines of a fork. Bake
12-15 minutes, until edges begin to brown. Cool on rack. Store in airtight container.
Makes
3 dozen cookies.

Sweet & Sour Green Bean Recipe
This is a very tasty and very easy green bean recipe. When we make this dish we splurge and get thick sliced bacon from the deli counter. We also like the taste of red onions in this dish. Sweet and Sour Green Beans 1 pound trimmed green beans 4 pieces lean bacon 3 tablespoons chopped onion 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar 1 tablespoon sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt.
Greek Green Beans
I found this yummy and easy recipe for Greek green beans on a vegetarian cooking site www.all-creatures.org. As mentioned on our home page, green bean have a world-wide appeal and every culture has adapted them with their own unique taste. Greek's prefer their green beans simmered until the beans are soft. They add onions, tomatoes, garlic and oregano.
