POTATO AND CHEESE CHOWDER
An easy to make soup for those days when you just can’t think of what to eat.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 1/2 cups (375 ml) peeled and diced raw potatoes
• 2 cubes chicken bouillon
• 3 tbsp (45 ml) butter
• 1/4 cup (60 ml) peeled and finely chopped onion

PREPARATION
Using your Rotato Express, peel potatoes. Cook potatoes in boiling water until tender. Drain saving cooking water for later. Add bouillon cubes to the hot liquid and stir until dissolved. Melt butter in a saucepan. Add flour and stir continuously for 10-15 minutes until a paste forms. Add onion and green pepper and sauté until the onion begins to soften, and then remove from heat. Add milk and potato water all at once, return to medium heat, and salt and pepper to taste.

Continue cooking until boiling and smooth, stirring constantly. Turn the fire to low and simmer for 2 minutes. Add cheese and stir until melted. Stir in potatoes and heat thoroughly. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve hot.

PREPARATION
Using your Rotato Express, peel the potato and turn it. Dice potato, turnip, and onion into 1/2 inch (12 mm) cubes and set aside. Put water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. In a large saucepan melt the butter, then add the celery, carrot, potato, turnip, onion, leek, water, salt, pepper, and sugar. Cover and simmer until the vegetables are tender-crisp, about 10 minutes. Add peas and green pepper and simmer for about 5 minutes more or until all the vegetables are tender. Add the hot milk.

SWISS STEAK
A good, hearty “comfort food” beef dish.

INGREDIENTS

• 2 1/2 lbs (1.1 kg) round steak cut 1 inch (25 mm) thick
• 1 1/2 cups (375 ml) peeled and sliced onion
• 3/4 cup (175 ml) flour
• 1 1/2 tbsp (22 ml) dry mustard
• 1 1/2 tsp (7 ml) salt
• 1/4 tsp (1 ml) ground black pepper

PREPARATION
Peel the outer skin of the onion and slice the onion across the grain making 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick rings. Set aside. Peel skin from tomatoes using Rotato Express. Chop thoroughly, and set aside. Combine flour, mustard, salt and pepper. Pound as much of the mixture as possible into the steak with a meat hammer. Or if necessary, use the edge of a heavy plate. Cut the meat into serving-sized pieces.

Heat the oil in a large heavy skillet or Dutch oven. Brown the meat well on both sides. Sprinkle onion, garlic, and carrots over the meat. Add tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar. Cover and gently heat until the tomatoes begin to break up. Stir sauce to blend, turn meat over, cover tightly, and simmer for about two hours or until meat is very tender. Stir often and add a little water if necessary to keep the sauce from sticking. Serve with potatoes, rice, or egg noodles.

MANGO DESSERT
A refreshing and exotic dessert.

INGREDIENTS

• 2 medium to large spiraled mangos
• 1/2 tsp (3 ml) of lemon juice
• 1/4 cup (60 ml) of shredded coconut
• 1/4 cup (60 ml) of chopped pecans
• Pineapple yogurt

PREPARATION

Using the Rotato Express, peel off the mango skin and discard. Continue the peeling of the mango until there is essentially nothing left to peel. Transfer the mango strands into a bowl and lightly cover with lemon juice to prevent the mangos from darkening. Lightly mix in the shredded coconut and chopped pecans. Transfer to a serving plate and top with pineapple yogurt. Very yummy!
