Potato-Cucumber Salad With Mango

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Low Fat Salads

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
2 tablespoons Cumin seeds
2 tablespoons Paprika
1 tablespoon Coriander seeds
1 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon Powdered ginger
1 tablespoon Cinnamon
1 teaspoon Powdered mustard
8 Red Bliss potatoes about the
Size of golf balls
2 medium Cucumbers
2 Firm mangoes (or papayas)
1/2 Red bell pepper — seeded
1/4 cup Orange juice
2 tablespoons Minced ginger
2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup Chopped fresh mint
Salt and freshly ground
Black pepper to taste

1. Place the cumin, paprika, coriander, cayenne, ginger, cinnamon and mustard
in a small saut? pan, and heat over medium heat until the first tiny wisp of
smoke appears, about 3-4 minutes. Allow to cool to room temperature, then
grind
in a coffee grinder or with mortar and pestle. Set aside.

2. Cook the potatoes in boiling water to cover until they are easily pierced
by a fork but still offer some resistance, about 8 minutes. Drain, allow to
cool to room temperature and cut in thirds.

3. Meanwhile, peel the cucumbers, cut them in half lengthwise, and cut the
halves into half-inch slices. Peel and pit the mangoes and cut the flesh into
bite-sized chunks. Cut the half bell pepper into thin strips.

4. In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, cucumbers, mangoes and bell pepper.
Add the orange juice, ginger, lemon juice, mint and 1 tablespoon of the spice
mixture. (Place remaining spice mixture in a tightly covered container and
store in a cool, dark place for use in other dishes.) Toss well, season to
taste with salt and pepper, toss again, and serve.

Yield: 6 servings. Approximate nutritional analysis per serving: 165

    Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
    ——– ———— ——————————–
    1/4 cup cake flour — Do not substitute!
    1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    3 tablespoons granulated sugar
    4 large eggs — beaten
    1 16 oz. sour cream

    Mix together the flour, baking soda, salt and sugar until well
    blended.
    In another bowl, mix together the eggs and sour cream until well
    blended. Add to the dry ingredients and mix until all dry ingredients are
    mixed in. Allow the mixture to sit for about 5 minutes.
    Meanwhile, heat up a large frying pan. Once it’s hot add a little oil
    and lightly coat the bottom of the skillet.
    Using a TABLESPOON, drop the batter onto hot skillet. Cook on one side
    until the bubbles on the top start to pop and the edges begin to look dry.
    Careful that you don’t burn them. They puff up when you flip them.

  • Title: ROMAINE LETTUCE WITH OYSTER SAUCE
    Categories: Chinese, Salads
    Yield: 4 servings

    1 Head romaine lettuce
    1/4 ts Salt
    2 tb Peanut oil
    1 tb Premium oyster sauce

    We decided on romaine lettuce for this dish because it
    is crisp textured, and readily available.

    Preparation: Wash remove core from lettuce.
    Combine oil oyster sauce in small sauce pan; bring
    to simmer; keep hot until ready to serve.

    Blanching: Heat about 2 gallons water in large pot.
    We use bottom of aluminum steamer. Add salt. When
    water reaches rolling boil, blanch lettuce for about
    20 seconds – until leaves are bright green.

    Remove leaves, shake off excess water. Stack leaves
    cut cross-wise into 4 parts. Use cleaver to place
    leaves on serving platter. Pour hot oyster sauce on
    leaves. Serve.

  • LENCSELEVES FOGOYHUSSAL (LENTIL SOUP WITH PAR

    Recipe By :
    Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00
    Categories : Game

    Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
    ——– ———— ——————————–
    2 ea Partridges
    1 c Lentils
    6 c Broth, chicken
    1 lb Veal bones
    1 md Carrots — peeled
    1 ea Parsnip — peeled
    1 ea Celery knob — peeled
    1/4 lb Bacon, smoked
    2 tb Flour, all-purpose
    1 sm Onions — chopped
    1/2 ts Mustard, prepared
    1/3 c Heavy cream

    Soak partridges in cold water 3-4 hours. Place
    lentils in soup pot with chicken broth, veal bones,
    carrot, parsnip and celery. Slowly bring to a boil.
    Cut smoked bacon into small dice and render fat.
    With slotted spoon remove cracklings and set aside.
    Dry partridges. Very quickly brown the whole bird in
    the bacon drippings, giving them some color. Remove
    partridges and place in soup pot with lentils.
    Make a roux with the same fat used to brown the
    partridges and the flour and onion. Add 1/2 cup cold
    water and whip until smooth.
    When partridges and lentils are done, about 2 hours,
    add liquified roux. Cook for an additional 10 minutes.
    Take out partridges and bone them. Replace meat chunks
    in soup. Just before serving, whip mustard and cream
    into the soup.

    Note: partridges can be one of the toughest birds in
    the world, and the 2 hour cooking time may be longer.
    This is an excellent way to prepare what would
    otherwise be a very tough bird.

    2 sm Brains, calf, (12 ounces)
    1/4 c Vinegar, wine, white (opt)
    1 ea Bay leaf
    2 tb Butter, unsalted
    2 1/2 c Mushrooms, thinly sliced
    Pepper, ground (to taste)
    2 tb Shallot, chopped
    2 tb Parsley, chopped

    For Duxelles Stuffing:
    ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ
    Soak the calf brains in a bowl of cold water with
    2 tablespoons of vinegar about 30 minutes. Drain and
    carefully remove as much of the membrane and veins as
    possible from the brains. Set aside. In a small
    saucepan, combine 3 cups of cold water, the remaining
    2 tablespoons of vinegar, a little salt and bay leaf.
    Bring to a boil, and simmer for 10 minutes. Gently
    add the brains and immediately remove the pan from the
    heat. Let the brains sit in the liquid, covered, for
    8 minutes, then transfer them with a slotted spatula
    to a small bowl. Set aside.

    Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet
    over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, sprinkle with
    salt and black pepper, and stir until nearly dry,
    about 8 minutes. Add the shallot and cook for 2
    minutes longer. Add cooked brains, and stir, breaking
    up the brains, until mixture is almost pureed. Add
    1/4 cup of reserved Veal Stock to the mixture and
    simmer briefly until thick. Remove from the heat,
    stir in parsley and adjust seasoning. Cool mixture
    completely, then chill, covered.
