VEGETABLE-BEAN SOUP

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 8 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Soups Potatoes

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1 c Kidney beans — dried
2 Garlic cloves — pressed
1 Onion — chopped
2 Potato — cut in chunks
1 Carrot — sliced 1/2″ thick
2 Zucchini — sliced 1″ thick
1/4 lb Green beans
2 Leek
1/4 lb Cabbage
(savoy is best)
1/3 c Brown rice, long-grain — * se
3 Tomato — cut in wedges
1/4 c Parsley sprigs — chopped
1/4 ts Celery seed
1/4 ts Marjoram
1 t Basil
1 t Oregano

Recipe by: McDougall Place beans in pot with 2 quarts of water. Bring to
boil, remove from heat and let rest 1 hour. Then add chopped onion, garlic,
and simmer for 1 1/2 hours.

Chop potatoes in large chunks; do not peel. Slice carrots 1/2 inch and
zucchini 1 inch thick, scrub them, do not peel. Slice leeks and cut beans
into 1 inch pieces. Add to soup pot along with seasonings. Simmer for 1
hour longer.

Thinly slice cabbage and add to soup along with rice or spaghetti. Simmer
another 20 minutes. Add more water if too thick. Add tomato wedges for the
last 10 minutes, just before serving.

HELPFUL HINTS: Kidney beans make a good rich broth, but any kind of bean
also may be used. Soup freezes well, so make a large batch when you have
time and freeze half for use on a budy day. Try using some chopped spinach,
instead of the cabbage. By changing the vegetables and beans used, the soup
can be different each time you make it. It is a meal in itself.

Spicey Chickpea/Butterbean Pasta

1 package of your favorite pasta
2 cans of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
2 cans of butterbeans including liquid
1 can of vegetable stock (or 14 1/2 oz)
3 large chili peppers
(if chili peppers are not very hot you will also need)
1 – 2 jalepanos
tobasco sauce

Make pasta as usual. Meanwhile, heat a dutch oven over med. heat.
Add a little veg stock. Chop chilis into large chunks and saute
in stock (include the seeds) for about 2 minutes. Add chickpeas
and more veg stock and cook for 5-10 mins. Add the butterbeans
with liquid and the rest of the veg stock. Let simmer and liquid
reduce some.

If chilis are not hot enough, puree in blender or chopper 1 or
2 jalepanos and add. Then add tobasco to taste.

I am drooling thinking about the leftovers in the fridge.
I can’t wait to make and eat more.

Title: TEA SMOKED DUCK OR CORNISH HENS
Categories: Chinese, Poultry
Yield: 4 servings

Stephen Ceideburg
4 1/2 lb Duck *
3 tb Sichuan peppercorns
3 tb Coarse salt
1 1/2 tb Sugar
4 Quarter-sized slices fresh
-ginger, shredded
3 Green onions, cut into
-2-inch pieces, crushed
1/4 c Chinese rice wine or dry
-sherry
Asian sesame oil
ACCOMPANIMENTS:
Chinese Steamed Lotus Buns
Slivered green onions
Hoisin sauce (1/2 teaspoon
-per serving)
SMOKING MATERIALS:
1/2 c Sichuan peppercorns
1/2 c Raw long-grain rice
1/2 c Black tea leaves
1/2 c Dark brown sugar
2 Cinnamon sticks, broken into
-small pieces
4 Whole star anise or the
-equivalent in pieces

* or 2 Cornish game hens, about 1 1/2 pounds each (see
note)

Remove fat from duck or hens and discard. Rinse
thoroughly with cold water. With the palm of your
hands press down on the breastbone to snap the bone
and flatten the bird. Pat dry.

Marinating: In an ungreased skillet or wok over medium
heat, toast the peppercorns and salt until the salt
turns a tan color and the peppercorns are aromatic,
about 5 minutes. Finely grind in a food processor or
spice mill and combine with sugar, ginger, onions and
wine. Rub mixture throughout the duck or hens inside
and out and place in a shallow heat-proof bowl (select
one that will fit comfortably into the wok or pot that
you will steam in). Cover and marinate overnight or up
to 3 days, refrigerated. Turn every few hours, Remove
from the refrigerator. Let the duck or hens come to
room temperature.

Steaming: Fill the bottom of wok or steaming pot with
boiling water. Place bowl with the duck or hens and
marinade on a rack over the water. Cover and steam 1
1/2 hours for duck, 45 minutes for hens.

At 15-minute intervals, check water level and
replenish with more water if needed. Remove hens with
their bowl. Cool. Transfer duck or hens to a cooling
rack; scrape off marinade. (Save duck stock. It makes
a delicious cooking stock for vegetables.) Set hens in
a cool, airy spot to dry for at least 4 hours, or
refrigerate, overnight, uncovered,

Smoking: Line bottom of a wok with heavy-duty aluminum
foil. Mix together and distribute smoking materials on
the bottom. Set a 9 or 10-inch round cake rack into
the wok or devise a rack by crisscrossing 6 wooden
chopsticks in the middle of the wok. Place duck or
hens directly on rack. Turn heat to medium-high. When
the smoke begins, cover the wok and smoke for 10 to 20
minutes, or until duck or hens turn golden brown.
Remove from rack and brush lightly with sesame oil.
The hens may be served at this point or browned.

Browning: Place hens breast side up on a roasting rack
in a 425 degree F. oven for 5 to 10 minutes to crisp
the skin.

Serving: Chop duck or hens into bite-size pieces, or
remove bones and cut meat into thin slices. Serve with
Lotus buns and accompaniments.

Note: If you are preparing more than 2 hens, you will
need to steam and smoke them in 2 batches.
