Even if you weren’t elected President of the United States, you can eat like one.  After the president takes the oath of office and delivers his Inaugural address and following the departure ceremony for the outgoing President, he will be escorted to Statuary Hall in the U.S. Capitol for the traditional Inaugural Luncheon.  The Senate has posted the menu and also the recipes online.

Ingredients

• 1/2 pound extra-lean ground beef
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 2 tablespoons dry bread crumbs
• 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 5 3/4 cups chicken broth
• 2 cups thinly sliced escarole
• 1 cup uncooked orzo pasta
• 1/3 cup finely chopped carrot

Ingredients

• 3 Large baking potatoes
• 2 Large stalks broccoli
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 1-2 tablespoons low fat milk
• 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese

Preparation

1. Scrub the potatoes and make shallow cuts around their middles to make it easier to cut them in half after baking. Bake the potatoes at 400 degrees until soft, about 1 hour, depending on the size of the potatoes.
2. Meanwhile, cut the ends from the stalks of broccoli and peel some of the outer skin off to make the stems more edible. Steam the broccoli until crunchy-tender and bright green. Drain and chop fine.
3. Cut potatoes in half and scoop out the insides into a bowl. Add the salt, olive oil and just enough milk to allow you to mash the potatoes into a smooth paste. Add the Parmesan cheese and the chopped broccoli and mix well.
4. Pile the mixture back into the potato shells, arrange on a baking dish and heat them to desired temperature.
