How to:

Heat the oil in a deep skillet; brown the duck in it.

I cooked this last night for the Bengali New Year, and it totally turned out better than I expected - and I'm not even a fish person :). To be tried with Ilish the next time I hope :)! Serves 2 people: One large whole fish 4 Onions 4 Tomatoes 1Tbsp Mustard seeds Turmeric Powder Chilli Powder Some Fish Curry Spice Mix Lemon Corriander Took me about an hour to cook this, minus prep time the night before. Not having access to Ilish in Stockholm, I used one big Telapia - but choose you fish to be whatever you want it to be I suppose :). Scale and gut the fish if doesn't already come dressed. If you buy a frozen one like I did, thaw it overnight in the fridge. Mix turmeric powder, chilli powder, salt, MDH Fish Curry mix. Add about the same or 1.5 times of the amount of spice of vegetable oil to make it into a paste. Cover the entire fish with this paste. The layer of the spice should be quite thick and noticable. Seal with fish in an airtight plastic bag an...

Pecan Pie and Pie Crust

By Angelique -
Ingredients: 3 eggs 1 cup of white sugar 1/2 cup dark Karo syrup 1 stick of butter or margarine (softened) 1 cup pecan halves 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon vanilla Beat eggs until light and fluffy. Add sugar and beat again. Add syrup, butter, pecans, salt and vanilla. Mix ingredients together and pour into pie crust. Cook on 350 F for 10 minutes; then reduce temperature to 325 F for 30 minutes. Temperature reduction is to keep crust from burning. Ovens vary in performance and cook times should be adjusted accordingly (I had to cook mine an additional 10 minutes). edited to add: (The pie can look a little buttery until it is cooked completely. Some people have reported having to cook it an additional 20 minutes) Pie is done when center jiggles like jello when you shake the pie. Make sure the pie cools completely before you cut it. Pie crust: 1 1/2 cups finely ground graham cracker crumbs 1/3 cup white sugar 6 tablespoons butter, melted 1/2 te...
