INFUSED OILS – SZECHWAN PEPPERCORN OIL “CHINA

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 2 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories :
Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
6 tb Peppercorns, Szechwan
2 c Oil, Corn or Peanut
2 tb Chile Flakes, dried red
-shockingly pungent
2 1/2 tb Ginger, fresh
– finely minced
2 tb Scallions, green white
– cut in rings

Heat a large skillet over moderate heat until hot
enough to evaporate a bead of water on contact. Add
the Szechwan peppercorns and stir until toasted and
fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Adjust the heat so the
peppercorns brown without scorching.

Combine the peppercorns and all of the remaining
ingredients in a heavy, non aluminum 1 to 1 1/2 quart
saucepan. Rest a deep-fry thermometer on the rim of
the pot. Over moderately low heat, bring the mixture
to a bubbly 225 degrees, stirring occasionally. Let
simmer for 15 minutes, checking to ensure the
temperature does not rise. Remove from the heat and
let stand until cool or overnight.

Strain the oil through a fine-mesh sieve and discard
the solids. Store the oil in an impeccably clean glass
jar at cool room temperature.

This oil is particularly good for salads. Its herbal
quality also makes it a nice partner to poultry or
beef dishes.

AUSTRIAN HOMESTYLE GENERIC VEGETABLE SOUP

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 3 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Soups Vegetables

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
4 tb Butter or margarine (or oil,
-or lard)
3 tb All purpose flour
1 1/2 pt Water
3 1/2 ts Knorr Beef Flavor Consomme
-Mix (or similar bouillon
Powder or cubes)
2 tb Chopped onion
1 md Carrot, diced
2 c (approx.) broccoli or
-cauliflower, cut into small
-pieces
1 md Potato, peeled and diced

Melt butter over medium heat. Add flour, stirring
constantly, until the mixture becomes puffy. Add
water, bouillon powder, onions, potatoes and carrots.
Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat
and simmer until potatoes are almost done (about 5 to
6 minutes). Add broccoli and return to boil. Simmer
for another minute.

Makes 3 large servings (which with a chunk of French
bread or the like would make a hearty meal,
quantity-wise.)

VARIATIONS: For thinner soup, use less flour. For
vegetables with a more delicate flavor, use less
bouillon powder. If using sliced mushrooms, asparagus
and frozen or fresh green peas as vegetables, use
slightly less flour, slightly less bouillon powder,
and a dash of sugar. (Start with the asparagus, adding
peas and mushrooms when asparagus is almost done. No
onion in that one, BTW, it would overwhelm the other
flavors.) If all you’ve got is potatoes and onions,
add quarter teaspoon caraway seeds early on (when you
reduce to simmering). What, not even potatoes? Throw
in somewhat more chopped onion and add rice, and serve
with fresh chopped parsley.
