Happy Family Stuff 'n Junk

Rice & Gusi (pronounced: goose eye)

This is a simple yet essential traditional Saxey family recipe handed down from my great great great grandmother from Jerusalem.

Keith doesnt like it but you can't trust his culinary tastes. He doesnt like anything with a vegtable in it.



These are the only ingredients you need for the Gusi (plus salt & pepper to taste)

Just put a chunk of butter in a pot on med low heat
Plop in equal amounts of med sized chopped : Onion, Tomatoe, & Zuccini
Then sprinkle a dash of Mace.

*This is an interesting spice that is not used much in American cusine. It has a distinct flavour and is used much more widley in the middle esast. On my travels through Morroco I found very good quality mace in a spice shop. The man there had his wife hand grind it for me and i brought back a big bag of it for my Grandfather (God rest his soul). That batch was slightly different then what you can get in the markets here but it is still quite good.




This is and Indian eggplant. I normally hate eggplant but I like this smaller version because the consistency is stronger when cooked. I discovered this from my brother Roderick at a Thai resturant this summer.
Tonight I added it to my Gusi and it was okay!



Let all the ingredients simmer in a covered pot till its kind of soft and nice n juicy





Then put it on rice and enjoy a taste of the old country!
