Hi, I am teaching food. I would like to preper a national dish from a different country. But I can�t use a stove for it. Can someone give a recipe to preper in my classroom?

Is there any way of getting ice cream in? Banana split would be good. You could substitute tinned or home made custard for the ice cream. Add lots of chopped up fruit to make it healthy!

Cole slaw from the USA:
 
Take a head of green cabbage and chop or shred.
Take a carrot or two, peel, and chop or shred (unless you �re cooking for my husband who hates carrots).
Sprinkle with about 10-15 g salt and let sit for 10 minutes.
Mix 250 ml vinegar of choice (white if you like pretty, apple cider is my favorite) with about 100 -125 g sugar.
Add mayonnaise to taste if desired.
 
That is my mother �s recipe, converted to metric units for you. It �s good by itself, and even better on hot dogs (in buns, of course) or on a chopped pork barbecue sandwich (smoked pork shoulder, chopped, and served in a vinegar-hot pepper sauce, called Lexington-style barbecue). You could also add a bell pepper or tomato if you like. Add red cabbage only if you will eat all of it immediately; the vinegar leaches the color out after some time.

We have to suggest a particular national recipe!

I can think only of one but it demands preparation ahead of time. It �s Vinaigrette salad. While you can guess that the origin of its name is not Ukrainian, it is a very common dish on the Ukrainian table and has probably its unique flavour.
So here are the ingredients:
  • 1 pound beets
  • 1 pound carrots
  • 1 pound potatoes
  • 2 large dill pickles, diced
  • 1 onion, minced
  • 1 (8 ounce) can peas, drained
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
Here �s what you have to do ahead of time: wash the beets, carrots and potatoes thoroughly, do not peel, do not chop, put in cold water in a saucepan (better separately), boil until cooked (if the beets are average size it can take up to an hour and a half to cook, while carrots and potatoes will be cooked in twenty minutes after the water boils). Let the vegetables cool down.

In class you can peel the vegetables and cut beets, carrots, potatoes, pickles in small cubes (i.e. dice) then add peas, onions, olive oil and salt and mix everything with a spoon in a large bowl. 
BTW you can use a dice cutter to make it faster

Personally I love this salad to go with medium salted herring:)

@Lynne: you�ve awoken a craving in me:) I�ve never had a banana split but I�m sure I would love it:)

This sweet (called biscuit balls or coconutballs) is popular in Hungary and it can be prepared easily. You just mix the ingredients (ground biscuits 500g, ground nuts 250g, 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder, some milk appr. 300ml, little rum, castor sugar 200g) in a bowl and make balls (you can put a sour cherry inside them as well). Then roll the balls in shredded coconut.

Soml�i galuska  is made with three different-flavoured sponge cakes (walnut,cocoa and plain), pastry cream, raisins, walnuts, chocolate sauce, and whipped cream.

 

Home made version: put sponge cake pieces into a bowl then sprinkle them with rum, spread raisins, ground nuts. Put vanilla pudding layer then sponge cake pieces again with raisins, ground nuts, rum and chocolate pudding. You decorate it with chocolate sauce and whipped cream.

Brilliant Ideas. If someone with plenty of time to spare could make up some "Recipes  from around the world" worksheets I �d definitely download them...but there aren �t many teachers with plenty of time to make them...lol
 Thanks anyway. I should have fun with these.
