DGGB – Beans

Recipe By : Bill Martin
Serving Size : 10 Preparation Time :1:00
Categories : Beans Chicken/Turkey
Chile Pepper Dishes Chile
Barbecue Turkey
Chicken Texican

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1 1/2 c chicken, turkey, beef, pork, or sausage — cooked
and diced
1 can Pork N Beans — drained
1 large can Red Kidney beans — drained
1 can Black Beans — drained
1 small can Tomatoe Sauce (optional)
2 med Granny Smith apple — Cored, peeled, diced
1 lg Yellow, White or Purple Onion — diced
2 tbsps Liquid Hickory Smoke flavoring — to taste
2 c each of your favorite BBQ Sauce — to taste
1 c Pancake/Waffle syrup — to taste
1 tsp jalapeno pepper — to taste

Open and drain the three cans of beans, reserving 1/2 the liquid from the
Pork N Beans if desired. Place beans in a colander and rinse. Place the
reserved Pork N Bean liquid or the small can of Tomato Sauce in a large
stockpot, and begin heating on Medium Low. Put the beans in the stockpot,
add the previously cooked meat (s), (you can use a combination of meats.
Turkey and sausage work well), making sure to dice or slice into bit-size
chunks, (about 1″ x 1“). Add the chiles, apples and onions. Stir to mix.
After the mixture has come to a simmer, add 1 or 2 tbspns of the Liquid
Smoke. Add 1/4 to 1/3 cup of the Waffle Syrup.
At this point the mixture should be very thick. Add enough barbecue sauce
to make a thick, stew-like mixture. The liquid from the cooking apples and
onions will thin this out a little more. You don’t want too much ”juice".
Just enough to keep the beans from scorching on the bottom of the stockpot.
Stir often, and cook slowly. If and when needed add a bit more barbecue
sauce. Taste often.
Heat and simmer for about an hour, or until you’re really hungry and can’t
stand it anymore.
This is my own concoction, based on the beans served at one of my favorite
barbecue rib restaurants in Houston: Goodes Barbecue.

Fat Free Pineapple Upside Down Cake (from the back of the
cornstarch box)

Topping: 1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons light Karo corn syrup
1 tablespoon lemon juice
7 pineapple rings (packed in juice)
7 maraschino cherries (optional)
Cake: 1 cup flour
1/4 cup corn starch
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
2/3 cup skim milk
2 egg whites
1/3 cup Karo light
1 teaspoon vanilla

Preheat your oven to 350. Spray a 9″ pan with non-stick
spray. Add the first three topping ingredients to the bottom
of the pan, stir and then put them in the heated oven for
3 minutes. Add the pineapple rings in the configuration of
your choice (I put one in the middle of each side of the pan,
one in the middle, and then cut the last two in half and put
them around the corners). Add cherries to the center of the
rings.

Combine first four cake ingredients and stir. In another bowl,
whisk together the sugar and milk for one minute, and then
blend in the other liquid ingredients. Stir in the dry ingredients.
Pour by spoonfuls into the pan on top of your fruit configuration.
Bake 35-40 minutes. Loosen immediately and invert. 12 servings.

Notes: you need to add the cake batter very gingerly, since otherwise
the batter gets under the pineapple layer. I had this happen and
half the cake stuck to the pan (should have used a non stick rather
than glass!). I covered the error with a thin layer of the fatfree
frosting I was using for the fatful cake (one of the frostings with
sugar, egg white, cream of tartar and a lot of beating).

Cucumber Yogurt Soup With Fresh Mint

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Soups Vegetables

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1 Large Cucumber — * see note
3 Tablespoons Fresh Mint — chopped
2 Large Scallions — ** see note
1 1/2 Tablespoons Dill — freshly snipped
1 Clove Garlic — crushed
2 Cups Low-Fat Yogurt — (or non-fat)
Salt And Freshly Ground White Pepper — to taste
—–Garnishes—–
Cucumbers — sliced
Radishes — sliced
Scallions — chopped
Hard-Boiled Egg — grated (optional)

* “European” hothouse cucumber, split and coarsely chopped,
or 2 medium cucumbers, peeled, seeded, and coarsely chopped

** green and white parts included.

1. In a food processor or blender process the cucumber, mint,
scallions, dill, and garlic until well-combined but not smooth.
Add the yogurt and continue to puree until smooth.

2. Chill for 4-6 hours or overnight.

3. Adjust seasonings and serve the soup with the accompanying
garnishes of cucumbers, radishes, scallions and egg.

Serves: 4

This light soup uses low-fat yogurt as the base in place of the more
traditional sour cream. Not much salt is needed since the flavor of
the soup is enhanced naturally with the fresh herbs.

Cooking Notes:

Fresh mint is much more pungent than dried. However, bunches of fresh
mint can be wrapped in foil and frozen. Just cut off what you need and
chop.

Cucumbers should be stored separately from fruits and vegetables which
produce ripening ethylene gas, such as tomatoes, pears and peaches.

Cucumbers, a relative of melons, are very high in water, giving them
refreshing properties that no doubt prompted the description “cool as
a cucumber.”

If you are fortunate enough to pick up the little pickling cucumbers,
they are crisper, have less water, and can be substituted
successfully. You can use 5 small ones in place of the large European
cucumber. They similarly don’t need peeling since they are unlikely to
have wax on them.
