Yield: 10 servings

Fresh Louisiana strawberries
Candymaker’s chocolate
(milk, dark, or white);
Look for chocolate labelled

properly if the berries are damp). Melt 1/2 pound chocolate in a
double boiler deep enough to cover strawberries. Holding the berries
by the stem, hand dip each one 3/4 of the way up to the top. Place on
waxed paper and allow to harden or refrigerate until hard. Keep

This soup makes a showy presentation. At the table
you slide fried rice cakes into the soup to create a
crackling, sizzling sound. Actually, you can add the
rice cakes to almost any soup and give the soup a
sizzling name. The trick is to be sure that both rice
cakes and soup are piping hot.
In a bowl, blend soy, sherry and cornstarch. Add
prok and mix until well coated. Let stand for ten
minutes. In a 2-quart pan, heat chicken broth to
boiling. Add pork, stir several times, then reduce
heat and simmer for five minutes. Add mushrooms,
water chestnuts, and peas. Simmer, uncovered, for 2
minutes. Add green onion, salt to taste and sesame
oil.
Keep soup hot while you fry sizzling rice cakes per
recipe. Pour hot soup into a warm tureen and carry to
the table. Bring hot fried rice cakes to the table in
a bowl and immediately slide into the soup.

Title: Squid in Its Own Ink (Chipirones en su tinta)
Categories: Seafoods, Basque
Yield: 4 servings

2 lb small fresh whole
squid with ink sacs
1 onion, finely chopped
1 cl garlic, finely chopped
olive oil for frying
Italian (flat) parsley,
chopped
bread crumbs

Sauce:

1 onion, finely chopped
1 cl garlic, finely chopped
crust of bread
2 Tb Fish broth
Ink from the sacs
8 ts tomato puree

These squid are also called Tripiroiak and Jibiones in various parts
of the Basque Country. In the rest of Spain, they are referred to as
calamares.

Take apart and clean the fresh squid, taking care to remove the ink
sacs without breaking them. Set the ink sacs aside. Cut the tentacles
into one inch chunks.

Fry one onion and one garlic clove in olive oil. When the onion
begins to take on color, add the chunks of squid tentacles and cook
slowly while stirring in the oil. Add the chopped parsley and bread
crumbs and stir until well thickened.

Stuff the squid tails with this mixture, being careful not to
overfill. Seal the openings with a toothpick. Fry the stuffed tails
in a small amount of olive oil, turning gently, until golden in
color. Meanwhile make the ink sauce.

Ink Sauce:

Brown the other onion and garlic clove in olive oil, and add a crust
of bread. Place the fish broth in a small bowl. Place the reserved
ink sacs in a fine sieve our the bowl and puncture carefully. Blend
the ink and broth. Add this liquid to the onion and garlic and cook
slowly. Add the tomato puree and continue to simmer for a short time.
Run the mixture through a blender.

Place the sauce in a large skillet, add the fried, stuffed squid and
simmer for 15 minutes. Makes three to four servings. Walt
