03 July 1886 - KARL BENZ PRESENTS HIS BENZ PATENT MOTORWAGEN: A
three-wheeled vehicle, the Benz Patent Motorwagen is the first
automobile built to be propelled by an internal combustion engine, and
its inventor Karl Benz presents it publicly for the first time in
Mannheim, Germany. Benz will go on to help co-found the Mercedes-Benz
car company.

The Benz Patent-Motorwagen was a motor tricycle with a rear-mounted
engine. The vehicle contained many new inventions. It was constructed of
steel tubing with woodwork panels. The steel-spoked wheels and solid
rubber tires were Benz's own design. Steering was by way of a toothed
rack that pivoted the unsprung front wheel. Fully elliptic springs were
used at the back along with a beam axle and chain drive on both sides. A
simple belt system served as a single-speed transmission, varying torque
between an open disc and drive disc.

      Title: Benz's Gefilte Fish
 Categories: Seafood, Breads, Herbs, Vegetables, Chilies
      Yield: 6 servings

     20 oz Pkg Benz’s gefilte fish;
           - defrosted
      4 tb Matzo meal
      1 lg Egg
      3 tb Chopped parsley
    1/2 ts (heaping) ground cumin
    1/4 ts Ground turmeric
      3 cl Garlic; minced
      2 tb Olive oil
      1 lg Onion; thin sliced
    1/2    Red bell pepper; thin sliced
    1/2    Yellow bell pepper; thin
           - sliced
      1    Carrot; peeled, thin sliced
      6 cl Garlic; peeled; cut in half
      3 tb Tomato paste
    1/2 c  Canned chickpeas; rinsed, 
           - drained
     15 oz Can diced tomatoes
     15 oz Can tomato sauce
      1 tb Harissa; to taste
           Juice of 1/2 lemon
      4 c  Fish or vegetable stock
           Salt & pepper


  In a bowl, mix the fish, matzo meal, parsley, cumin,
  turmeric, garlic, and egg. Place in the frige while you
  prepare the sauce.

  Heat oil in a 6-qt. saucepan over medium-high heat. Add
  onion and cook until translucent. Add garlic, carrots
  and peppers and sauté until softened. Add tomato paste;
  cook, stirring, until caramelized, about 3 minutes. Add
  chickpeas, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, harissa, lemon,
  stock, salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Form the
  gefilte fish mixture into small balls and slowly add to
  the sauce. Don’t overcrowd the sauce, if there isn’t a
  lot of room, wait for the fish balls to set before
  moving them around to make more space for additional
  balls. Reduce heat and simmer until balls are cooked
  through, about 45 minutes. Serve hot with additional
  parsley for garnish.

  NOTE: You may add a pinch of sugar or a drizzle of honey
  to the sauce if you wish.

  VARIATION: Fish balls have more of a fluffy matza ball
  texture. If you want something more dense, you may fry
  up the gefilte fish into patties instead. Make the sauce
  without the stock, adding only as needed and serve over
  the patties.
