2 pounds vidalia or another sweet onion — peeled and

1 1/2 inch thi slices
1/4 cup olive oil

1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon honey

minutes. Remove to a platter and allow to cool.

In a large bowl whisk together the lime juice and honey until well
combined. Coarsely chop the grilled onions and add to the lime
mixture, tossing to coat. Add the diced papaya and chopped cilantro
and carefully stir to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Title: ICELANDIC SNOWFLAKE BREADS (LAUFABRAUD)
Categories: Breads, Ethnic
Yield: 6 servings

4 c All purpose flour
1 ts Baking powder
1 tb Sugar
1 tb Melted butter
2 c Milk, heated to boiling

hot fat for frying powdered sugar (optional)

In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder and sugar.
Mix in the butter and hot milk until a stiff dough is
formed. Turn out onto a lightly oiled surface and
knead until smooth and cooled. Divide dough into four
parts. Shape each into a ball. Divide each into 4
parts to make 16, then divide each of the resulting
balls into 2 parts to total 32.

Cover baking sheets with waxed paper and dust the
waxed paper lightly with flour.

On a lightly floured surface, roll out each part of
dough to make a thin round about 8 inches in diameter.
Place the rounds on the floured waxed paper. Chill 30
minutes.

In a skillet, heat 2 inches of fat to 375 to 400
degrees F. Vegetable shortening or corn or peanut oil

quarters, and, with a sharp-tipped knife, make little
cuts and cut-outs in the dough. Fry the bread rounds,
until golden brown, about 1 minute on each side.
Remove and drain on paper toweling. Store in an

Charred Tomato Jalapeno Vinaigrette

Recipe By : GRILLIN’ CHILLIN’ SHOW #GR3608
Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Sauces

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
2 whole tomatoes
2 jalapeno peppers
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons red onion — diced
1 tablespoon garlic — minced
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
1 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons basil chiffonnade
1 tablespoon Ancho chile powder
salt
freshly ground black pepper

As soon as the snapper comes off the grill, sprinkle it with the vinaigrette
(which has to be at room temperature). The vinaigrette heats up on the fish
and all the flavors spring to life.

Brush the jalapenos and tomatoes with olive oil, and cook on the grill until
the skin is charred. Let the peppers and tomatoes cool and then coarsely
chop the tomatoes and slice the jalapenos thin.

In a large mixing bowl combine the remaining ingredients, including the salt
and pepper to taste, with the jalapenos and tomatoes, and whisk until
blended. Bring to room temperature before serving.

Spoon the vinaigrette, to taste, over the fish as soon as you take it off
the grill and serve immediately.
