Title: DRY RUB SPICE MARINADE
Categories: Herb/spice, Marinades
Yield: 1 servings

1/4 c Kosher salt
2 tb Garlic powder
1 tb Dried thyme
2 ts Ground black pepper
1/4 c Granulated or brown sugar
2 tb Paprika
2 ts Cayenne pepper

Combine all ingredients, blending thoroughly. If
reserving for later use, store in a tightly capped
jar. To use, sprinkle heavily over all sides of meat
and rub in well with fingers. Let meat stand at room
temperature for two hours, or lightly covered
overnight in the refrigerator. Sprinkle meat again
lightly before grilling, broiling or baking. This
recipe makes enough for 3-4 pounds spareribs. Mixture
is also good on poultry.

Keeps indefinitely in tightly capped jar. Note from
the cook:“The secret of a good dry rub is equal
proportions of kosher salt and sugar. The salt draws
juices to the surface of the meat; the sugar drinks
those juices up, making a lovely, light, potently
seasoned glaze on the meat.These are the herb bottles
closest to my hands, if you have other stuff handy,
add it as you wish: ground ginger, or dry mustard; red
pepper flakes, or onion powder. Customize it any way
you will.” Via: RFIX_S 09-28-1994

Title: French Onion Soup
Categories: Polkadot, Lisa, Onions, Soups/stews
Yield: 1 Servings

MMMMM——————WHITE STOCK (FONDS BLANC———————–
2 lb Veal bones
2 Chicken carcasses, cut into
-pieces
1 Gal water
2 Carrots, sliced
1 Onion, sliced
1 Celery stalk, sliced
2 Leeks, washed well and
-sliced
6 Cracked black peppercorns
4 Parsley sprigs
2 Sprigs thyme

MMMMM———————FRENCH ONION SOUP————————–
8 c Fonds blanc
3 c Onion, sliced
2 tb Butter
8 tb Mixed grated Gruyere
-and Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
1 Baguette

I’ve recently been making French onion soup. The recipe I’ve been
using is from the Chez Francois cookbook (Chez Francois is a rather
good French restaurant in the DC area). I’m writing this from memory,
but I’m pretty certain it’s accurate.

Place bones, carcasses, and water in a large stock pot. Bring to a
boil. Reduce heat, skim fat, and add vegetables and herbs. Allow to
simmer for 4-5 hours partly covered, skimming fat as necessary.
Strain well (or just ladle the soup out, leaving the bones, etc.
behind). Melt the butter on low heat in a large saucepan. Add the
onion, and cook for 30-40 minutes, stirring often, until the onions
are soft and golden brown. Add the fonds blanc, and simmer for 30
minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. In a 375 F oven place 16
1/2-inch slices of bread, cut into ~1-inch pieces. Bake until golden
brown (5-8 mins). Put the soup into individual serving dishes, top
with the croutons and 1 heaping tbsp. cheese each (I find I really
need more like 2 tbsp each). Brown the cheese under a broiler and
serve immediately.
