——– ———— ——————————–
1/2 cup sour orange juice
or mix sweet orange and lime juices
half and half
4 cloves garlic — peeled and minced
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
4 pounds chicken pieces — skinned
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 large onions — peel, chop
1 large green bell pepper — chopped
1 cup tomato sauce
1 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup capers
1/2 cup stuffed green olives
1/2 cup raisins
1 pound potatoes — peeled and cubed

Combine the sour orange juice, garlic, salt and pepper in a container suitable
for marinating the chicken. Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, cover and
refrigerate 1 to 2 hours. Remove the chicken and blot in on paper towels.
Reserve the marinade.

Warm the oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat and brown the chicken
pieces. Do this in batches rather than overcrowd the pan. Then return all
the chicken to the pan. Add onions and green pepper, sauteing with the
chicken until onions are translucent, about 3 minutes. Add reserved marinade,
tomato sauce, wine, capers, olives, raisins, and potatoes. Reduce heat to
low, cover pan and simmer for 30 minutes. Transfer chicken to a large serving
dish and spoon the sauce over it.

NOTES : “This is one of many Andalusian dishes introduced to our home by my
father’s mother. My mother served it often. Though raised in the traditions
of her Basque and Catalonian ancestors, she enthusiastically adopted her
mother-in-law’s ways”. Dish’s flavor improves if made one day ahead.

1/2 ea Glass of wine*
Few meatballs of forcemeat*

Soak the black beans in water overnight.

Original authors note:
“This soup is so near the flavor of real turtle soup that few people
are able to tell the difference!”

* Wine not specified. My guess is a dry white unless you like sweet
turtles.
* Forcemeat is sausage meat, ground, not overly spicey. I also
presume that the meatballs are cooked somewhere along the
way but it doesn’t mention it in the recipe.

Title: RASPBERRY BORSCHT
Categories: Soups, Vegetarian
Yield: 8 Servings

2 lb Beets; or more
Water
1 pn Salt
1 pt Raspberries
1/4 c Red onion; minced
1/2 c Lemon juice, fresh
3 tb Balsamic vinegar
3 tb Sugar
Lemon juice; to taste
Sugar; to taste

Cut the tops off the beets, scrub them thoroughly, and put them
in a saucepan with enough water to cover them by an inch and a
little pinch of salt. Simmer the beets, covered, for 30 minutes if
they’re small, closer to 45 if large. They must be tender.

Drain the beets, reserving the cooking liquid, and allow them to cool.
When you can handle them, peel them and cut them into quarters or
eighths.

Combine the beets, raspberries, red onion, and 2 cups of the reserved
cooking liquid, and puree it all in batches in a blender. Strain the
puree through a sieve to remove the raspberry seeds. Stir in 1/2 cup
of lemon juice, the balsamic vinegar, and 3 tablespoons of sugar.
Stir until the sugar is dissolved, and taste. Add more lemon juice
and more sugar only if needed, until the right sweet-sour balance is
achieved. You might need a teensy pinch of salt, but be careful.

Chill the soup in the refrigerator, and when it is completely cold,
taste it again. Correct the seasoning if necessary. Serve in chilled
bowls, with a spoonful of sour cream in the center of each one.
