Title: Papa Joe’s Cucumber and Red Onion Soup
Categories: Soups, Vegetables
Yield: 6 servings

5 c Cucumbers
3 c Red onions
6 c Sour cream
2 tb Salt
3 tb Sugar
1/2 c Fresh dill weed- chopped
1/2 c Lemon juice

This is from Alice Brock at Alice’s Restaurant. Yes, THAT one.

Peel and slice cucumbers as thin as you can. Peel and slice red
onions thin as you can. (It’s easier if you cut the onion in half
and slice cut side down)

Use a deep 1 gallon bowl or crock. Alternate layers of cukes and
onions with sprinkles of the salt and sugar between each layer. This
will draw out the juices that make it soup. Pile sour cream on top.
DO NOT STIR. Cover and refrigerate for 24 hours or more.

To serve, add the fresh dill weed and lemon juice and stir it up. Add
more lemon juice or sugar to taste.

Cool and refreshing, this is just perfect when it is too hot to cook,
and cucumbers are running wild.

Lentils with summer vegetables

2 cups lentils (any color), rinsed and drained
1 medium onion, chopped
2 medium carrots, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 medium zucchini, quartered and sliced
1 – 1 1/2 tsp summer savory [I didn’t measure it exactly.]
black pepper
dried garlic [I’m out of fresh 🙁 ]
1 bay leaf
5 cups water (or use part broth if you want)

Put everything in a large pot, bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and
simmer about 30-40 minutes. Remove bay leaf. Serve over brown rice (or
maybe potatoes). Makes 4 reasonably sized servings.

The vegetables used were the ones I happened to have on hand. Vary to
suit yourself. Leeks are great in this. If I want this to be more
soup-like, I add more water and a can of tomatoes, pureed. I’ve also put
potatoes in the pot with the rest of the veggies. The possibilities are
endless…

Title: ASPARAGUS CHICKEN IN BLACK BEAN SAUCE
Categories: Chinese, Chicken
Yield: 6 servings

2 Chicken thighs
12 md Asparagus spears
3 tb Peanut or corn oil
MARINADE:
1 tb Dry sherry
1 ts Cornstarch
2 ts Thin soy sauce
1 pn Sugar
SAUCE:
2 ts Fermented black beans
3 Cloves garlic, minced
1/2 ts Brown sugar
2 ts Black soy sauce
3/4 c Chicken stock
Cornstarch paste as
-thickener

Marinating: With sharp paring knife, scrape chicken
meat from thigh; slice into thin strips across the
grain. (Breast meat is not preferred for this dish,
as meat is too dry and spongy.) Combine sherry, soy,
cornstarch and sugar in bowl; massage liquid into meat
with your fingers. Marinate for 15 to
30 minutes.
Preparation: Wash asparagus; peel tough white outer
skin off ends; slice on
diagonal in 2 1/2″ sections. Rinse fermented black
beans. In bowl, combine and mash black beans and
garlic, brown sugar, black soy sauce and chicken
stock; stir; reserve for 15 minutes. Stir-Frying: Add
2/3 of oil to hot wok; when oil is very hot, add
chicken. Stir-fry for about 3 minutes on high heat –
or until chicken begins to shrink
and firm up. Remove chicken to holding bowl.
Reheat wok to high, add remaining oil. When oil is
hot, add black bean sauce. Stir-fry for 1 minute.
Add asparagus; mix with sauce. Stir sauce with
asparagus. When sauce boils, add cooked chicken; toss
to combine. Dribble in a little cornstarch paste if
needed; cornstarch in chicken marinade might be
enough. Toss ingredients until very little liquid
remains and is reduced to glaze. Dish is ready when
asparagus brightens. If you still have too much
liquid, remove ingredients, continue to reduce sauce,
then return ingredients to coat them with sauce. Serve
in individual portions.
