2606.0. "Cantaplana" by AIMHI::DONOVAN () Fri Aug 31 1990 15:32

    What is cantaplana?  I was reading a recipe the other night and it
    talked about preparing a meal in a cantaplana?  Has eveyone ever heard
    of that.  It might be Portuguese.
      (It was a Portuguese recipe)  Just let me know.

2606.1It IS Portuguese !CESARE::ZABOTMarco Zabot-Adv.Tech.mgr-Turin ACTMon Sep 03 1990 06:407
          You are right.
          And the  recipe  you're  talking about is, may be, "Mariscos na
        Cataplana". 
          
          The "Cataplana" is something between a pan and  a  pot.   It is
        normally 12" wide, 4"-6" high.  The shape is  that  of  a Saucer.
        Copper on the outside, internally it is made of steel or similar.
2606.2CASSEROLE: Company CasserolePOBOX::VOSSSWed Jul 15 1992 14:0925
    HERE'S ONE FOR THOSE THAT ARE STILL INTERESTED IN QUICK FIXES.  I GOT
    THE RECIPE FROM MY MOTHER-IN-LAW & SHE ALWAYS CALLED IT "COMPANY
    CASSEROLE".  IT'S EASY TO PREPARE AND VERY GOOD.		
    
    1 1/2 LBS GROUND BEEF	
    8 OZ SOUR CREAM
    16 OZ COTTAGE CHEESE
    16 OZ PCKG NOODLES (ANY TYPE OF FLAT NOODLE)	
    8 OZ TOMATO SAUCE	
    1 TO 2 CUPS CHEESE OF YOUR CHOICE (I LIKE LONGHORN COLBY)
    ANY SPICES YOU LIKE (LEMON PEPPER, GARLIC...)
    
    BROWN GROUND BEEF WITH SPICES, DRAIN AND ADD TOMATO SAUCE.  BOIL NOODLES 
    TO ALMOST DONE, DRAIN AND BLEND IN SOUR CREAM & COTTAGE CHEESE UNTIL 
    SMOOTH.  LAYER NOODLES, MEAT MIXTURE, THEN NOODLES AGAIN IN OVEN SAFE 
    DEEP DISH AND BAKE @350 APPX. 30 MIN.  COVER WITH SHREDDED CHEESE OF YOUR 
    CHOICE AND BAKE UNTIL THE CHEESE IS MELTED.
    
    SERVE WITH ANY TYPE OF DINNER BREAD.  FOR THOSE THAT LIKE THE HOT
    STUFF, THIS IS GREAT WITH TOBASCO SAUCE.
    
    ENJOY,
