  • Title: Prawn Salad with Basil and Feta Cheese
    Categories: Salads
    Yield: 4 servings

    3/4 c Olive oil
    2 Garlic cloves, minced
    1 T Ground coriander seeds
    2 1/2 c Minced fresh basil
    1 lb Large prawns, shells and
    -tails removed
    1 c Loosely packed arugula
    -leaves
    2 Roasted sweet red bell
    -peppers, seeded and thinly
    -sliced (about 3/4 cup)
    1/2 lb Feta cheese, crumbled
    Freshly cracked black pepper

    Combine 1/2 cup of the olive oil with the garlic, coriander seeds and
    1 cup of the minced basil in a medium-size, non-reactive bowl. Add the
    prawns, cover and marinate at room temperature for 1 hour or in the
    refrigerator overnight.

    To grill the prawns: Prepare a medium-hot fire (a light layer of gray
    ash should cover the charcoal), place the prawns on the grill and
    cook, basting with the marinade and rotating the prawns to cook
    evenly, for 4-5 minutes or just until they are opaque to the center.
    Remove from the grill.

    To bake the prawns: Place prawns in a single layer, with marinade, in
    a baking dish in a preheated 450’F. oven. Cook for 5-7 minutes or
    just until the prawns are opaque to the center. Remove prawns from
    baking pan with a slotted spoon.

    Arrange the arugula and the remaining basil on a large platter. Top
    with the warm prawns, roasted peppers and feta cheese. Drizzle with
    the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil and sprinkle with freshly ground
    pepper.

    ——————-SWEET AND SOUR SAUCE——————-
    1 c Water
    1/2 c White vinegar
    1/2 c Sugar
    1/4 c Tomato paste
    4 ts Cornstarch

    ————————-GOW GEES————————-
    1 oz Dried mushrooms
    Boiling water
    48 Wonton wrappers (about 1
    -pound)
    2 oz Shrimp
    4 oz Uncooked boneless lean pork
    3 Green onions
    2 ts Soy sauce
    1/2 ts Grated pared fresh ginger
    -root
    1 sm Clove garlic, crushed
    3 c Vegetable oil

    Here’s a Chinese appetizer that looks great–crescents
    of deep fried wonton skins stuffed with pork, shrimp
    and other goodies.

    For Sauce:

    1. Combine water, vinegar, sugar, tomato paste and
    cornstarch in small saucepan. Cook over medium heat,
    stirring constantly, until sauce boils. Boil and stir
    1 minute. . Keep sauce warm.

    For Gow Gees:

    2. Place mushrooms in bowl and cover with boiling
    water. Let stand 30 minutes. Drain and squeeze out
    excess water.

    3. Cut wonton wrappers into circles using 3-inch (8
    cm) biscuit or cookie cutter. Cover wrappers with
    plastic wrap to avoid excessive drying.

    4. Remove shells and back veins from shrimp. Finely
    chop shrimp, pork, onions and mushrooms with cleaver,
    sharp knife or food processor. Transfer chopped foods
    to large bowl. Add soy sauce, ginger and garlic. Mix
    well.

    5. Place level teaspoon (5 mL) pork mixture onto
    center of each wonton circle. Brush edges with water.
    Fold circles in half over filling, pressing edges
    firmly together to seal.

    6. Heat vegetable oil in wok over high heat until it
    reaches 375 degrees F (190 C). Fry 8 to 10 gow gees at
    a time in hot oil until golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain
    on absorbent paper. Serve with Sweet and Sour Sauce.

  • Asparagus: Tuscan Spring Salad

    Recipe By : Wisconsin Country Gourmet (posted by Hanneman)
    Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:30
    Categories : Salads Wisconsin

    Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
    ——– ———— ——————————–
    12 small red potatoes
    1 pound fresh asparagus — sliced diagonally
    6 whole carrots — sliced diagonally
    DRESSING as follows
    3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
    6 tablespoons red wine vinegar
    1 tablespoon sugar
    1/4 cup fresh parsley — minced
    3 fresh basil leaves — minced
    2 cloves garlic — minced
    . . .
    Salt and pepper — to taste
    1 shallot — finely diced
    Romaine lettuce — optional

    Look for “small new potatoes” with purple-red skins, and fewer deep
    eyes.
    Boil rinsed potatoes in plenty of lightly salted water, about 15
    minutes, or until just tender. Drain and set aside.
    Cut the asparagus and carrots to size before cooking. Steam each
    vegetable separately (a dente).
    -Asparagus (1-1/2 to 2-inch lengths) 1-2 minutes.
    -Carrots (1/4-1/3-inch thick) 5 minutes.
    Put the vegetables in a bowl and chill: to stop cooking and to cool
    the potatoes enough so that they can be handled without crumbling. Slice
    the red potatoes 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Prepare the dressing in a blender,
    food processor, or hand-held grinder. Season with salt and freshly ground
    pepper. Drizzle on the salad and toss gently to coat. Fold in the tender
    shallot (or scallions; spring-green onions, sweet onion). Cover and chill
    (about 2 hours). Lettuce (optional).

    Cooksnote – substitute fresh rosemary for the basil. Use fresh herbs
    Published by Wisconsin Trails Magazine (1988).

    NOTES : Here’s an eye-appealing potato salad from Wisconsin. Asparagus is
    grown there.
