Title: NEW ENGLAND CLAM CHOWDER II
Categories: Soups
Yield: 6 servings

1 qt Clams
2 ea Medium onions, sliced thin
1 c Clam juice
1 qt Light cream or half and half
1 x Butter
1 x Seasoning to taste
1/2 lb Salt pork, cut fine
10 ea Medium sized potatoes, diced
1 qt Milk
1 x Flour
1 x Hot water

Directions: Cook clams until just opened. Strain and reserve 1 cup
of broth. Finely chop clams. Fry salt pork in large Dutch oven. Remove
salt pork and add onion; brown, being careful not to let it scorch.
Add potatoes and enough hot water to cover. When potatoes are done,
add clams, cook for 3 minutes over low heat. Slowly add milk and
cream. Simmer for at about an hour being careful not to let it
curdle. Add thickening made of flour and butter, season and simmer
slowly for an other hour. DO NOT LET IT BOIL. Serve hot.
Notes: My grandfather even had this recipe printed in the New Bedford
newspaper years ago. If done right it doesn’t curdle and is rich
creamy. He used to use cream .. but we started using a combination of
milk cream … it’s just as tasty. One other “trick” my grandmother
started doing was using some instant potato flakes as a thickener in
place of some of the flour. Tastes better and works as well. Lastly
… if you like you can add the salt pork back into the chowder after
adding the milk. It is very important that you keep watch over the
chowder so as to prevent it from boiling as this will cause the
milk/cream to curdle. If it curdles it just won’t taste right. You
can put in any seasonings you like … but keep it subtle … you want

Title: Black Bean Sauce Squid
Categories: Chinese, Seafood, Ceideburg 2
Yield: 1 servings

1 lb Squid, cleaned
-Chinese-style (see below)
2 tb Fermented, salted black
-beans (available at Asian
-groceries)
2 Cloves garlic, minced
2 tb Rice wine, or 2 Tbs mirin
-or sherry
1 ts Ginger, grated
2 Scallions, chopped into
-1/2-inch pieces
1 Tb regular soy sauce
1 ts Sugar
1 ts Cornstarch dissolved in
1 tb Water
2 tb Vegetable oil

Many people shy away from dishes with names like Black Bean Sauce
Squid because they think it involves the preparation of a complicated
sauce. In fact it is quite easy. The black beans themselves,
fermented and salted when you buy them, are the sauce. All you do is
add a little rice wine to make a paste. Then it’s just like any
other stir-fry++a couple of minutes of high-heat cooking,
continuously stirring, and the dish is done.

Prepare black bean sauce mixture by adding to the beans: rice wine,
soy sauce and sugar. Let sit for 15 minutes.

Saute garlic and ginger in the oil over medium heat in a heavy frying
pan or wok until garlic is slightly browned. Turn up heat. Add
squid and scallions. Stir-fry for 30 seconds. Pour in black bean
sauce mixture, and cook for 2 minutes. Add cornstarch and, when
sauce thickens, remove from heat and serve.

[Score squid diagonally at three quarter inch intervals. Turn and
repeat at right angles to original cuts. Don’t cut all the way
through the squid body. Cut each scored squid body into three or
four pieces. When cooked, the squid will roll up and the
crosshatching will catch and hold the sauce. It’s much easier to do
than to describe. S.C.]
