Recipe Preparation

Contributed to the echo by: Jean Hores Beef Pita, Greek Style

* Unsalted margarine, melted, can also be used. ** Phyllo Leaves are
Greek pastry and they should be defrosted.

Combine ground beef, onion and garlic in a large frying-pan; cook,
stirring frequently until beef loses pink color. Pour off drippings.
Add mushrooms, bay leaf, salt, chili powder, cumin powder, and
cinnamon; cook, stirring frequently, until mushrooms are tender about
5 minutes. Stir in tomato sauce and wine; cook, covered, 10 minutes,
stirring occasionally.

Remove bay leaf. Cool while preparing cheese filling. Combine egg and
cream cheese in medium bowl, beat with electric mixer until smooth.
Stir in cottage and feta cheeses and blend. Brush 13 x 9-inch baking
pan with melted butter. Line pan with 1 sheet of pastry, fitting
pastry to contour of pan. (Pastry will come up over edges of pan.)
Brush pastry with butter. Layer with 3 more pastry sheets, brushing
each with butter.

Sprinkle bread crumbs evenly over top. Spoon 1/5 of meat filling in
layer over crumbs and 1/5 of the cheese filling over meat. Place 1
pastry sheet over cheese filling, crinkling to fit inside dimensions
of pan; brush with butter and layer with 1/5 of the meat and 1/5 to
the cheese fillings. Repeat with 3 more pastry sheets, crinkling
each, brushing with butter and topping with fillings. Turn bottom
pastry ends up over filling. Place remaining 8 pastry sheets smoothly
over top, brushing each with butter.

Using spatula, tuck top pastry sheets around inside edges of pan. With
sharp knife, score top lightly in half lengthwise and sixths
crosswise. (Do not cut through.) Bake in moderate oven (350 degrees
F.) 1 hour or until top is golden brown. Cool at least 10 minutes
before cutting along scored lines. Place a cherry tomato on each of
12 small wooden picks and insert pick in center of each serving.
Garnish with parsley. Garnish individual servings with fresh fruit
kabobs, if desired. FRESH FRUIT KABOBS: To make fresh fruit kabobs,
place chunks of fresh pineapple, cantaloupe, whole strawberries or
other fruits in season on small wooden skewers.

Food Tips of the Week

Advice on losing weight

Make sure that you drink enough fluids. Sometimes at some stage in a hectic work day, you feel you need food when in truth you may need a refreshing glass of water or cranberry juice. The feelings of hunger and thirst are somewhat similar, but one of them ends in weight increase and the other one leads to no damage.
Some low carbohydrate diet guidlines:


* Food labels can be misleading Don't believe sales blurb that claims to be 'low carb' - check the nutritional information figures on the rear of the can or packet. Some are only a little lowered and in some cases still more than a competitors normal brand. Also, beware of 'low sugar' and 'low fat' labels - 'low sugar' doesn't always mean 'low carb' - usually the carbs are the same.

Foods containing allyl sulfides
( includes pickled shallots, chives and spring onions)

The onion, leek and garlic range of vegetables is rich in allyl sulfides, a chemical which experts believe might be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer.
Even though there is precious little definitive proof published, allyl sulphides are also believed to help with colds, arteriosclerosis and fatigue.

Foods containing allyl sulfides also have a low calorie count, so you should add them to your diet system.
