Cucumber Shrimp soup.
Broth, chicken, a mix a chicken and pork is good, even Won Ton soup base works well.
A few slices of Ginger
Slice a cucumber lengthwise, and scrape out the seeds with a spoon, cut into THIN slices
A few nice-sized shrimp.
Bring broth, with Ginger slices to simmer, add cuke slices and shrimp
When shrimp are done, soup is done.
Don’t overburden the soup with the cuke slices though.
Mash potatoes thoroughly. Add egg yolks, salt, cinnamon and butter. Mix well. Mold mixture around marshmallows forming 6 balls. Beat egg whites til foamy. Roll balls in egg whites and then cornflake crumbs. Place on baking sheet.
Bake 350 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes. Or til golden brown
Great with glass of wine
Parmesian rounds
cut white bread in rounds
3/4 cup grated parmesian cheese
3/4 cup Hellmans Mao
dash worchestershire sauce
little salt
Mix and spread lightly on bread rounds
Add a little finely chopped onion in the center of each one.
Dust lightly with paprika
Broil til golden brown
Um Um good
OLD FASHIONED CELERY AND SAGE DRESSING
Ingredients
2 loaves sliced white sandwich bread (1 pound each), dried, and torn into bite-size pieces
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, plus more for baking dish and foil
4 celery stalks, diced medium
1 large onion, diced medium
Coarse salt and ground pepper
2 teaspoons dried rubbed sage
1 teaspoon (level) poultry seasoning
1 teaspoon celery seed
3 eggs
3 1/2 cups (29 ounces) low-sodium chicken broth
Variations
Substitute unsalted butter and large eggs. Feel free to use homemade or store-bought chicken broth.
Cook’s Note
To make sure there’s plenty of stuffing (think leftovers), this recipe makes extra to bake separately.
Directions
Step 1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees. On two rimmed baking sheets, arrange bread in a single layer. Bake until dry but not browned, about 14 minutes, tossing bread and rotating sheets halfway through. Transfer to a large bowl. (To store, let cool completely and keep in a re-sealable plastic bag at room temperature, up to 1 week.)
Step 2 In a large skillet, melt butter over medium. Add celery and onion; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables soften, about 8 minutes. Add sage and celery seed and cook 3 minutes more. Transfer to bowl with bread. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs and broth. Add to bread mixture and toss to combine.
Step 3 Reserve 4 cups stuffing for turkey. Spoon remaining stuffing into a buttered 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Cover with buttered foil; refrigerate until ready to bake. Bake at 350 degrees until warmed through, about 25 minutes.
That looks interesting..thanks...
Thanks for the tomato soup recipe last week as it gave me an idea what to do with some canned tomatoes that I didn’t like so were getting old. I happened to have had one can of olive oil and garlic tomatoes and another can of tomatoes with oregano, basil and parsley or some such. Since they were practically the same seasonings in your soup, I gave them a whirl. Added cream, nutmeg and subbed brown sugar for the molasses because I couldn’t find the jar I know I just bought. Five minutes later, yum.
You brought up Trader Joe’s 21 Seasoning Salute on last weeks thread, I was intrigued and finally got to a somewhat close Trader Joe’s (never went in before), grabbed a bottle of the ‘21’ and a jar of Cookie Butter (saw a bunch of site threads talking about it) and a Jar of Coconut Oil...the 21 Seasoning Salute smells wonderful - can’t wait to shake it up :)
Wow! I sometimes don’t get a chance to read the column so thank you for summarizing! I have GOT to add some things of my own. Best to everyone who has contributed already..these look yummy!
Scrapple is an abomination of organ meats and corm meal mush based on the original German breakfast food called Goetta:
1 lb. ground beef
1 lb. ground pork
8 cups water
2.5 cups pinhead oatmeal
1 large onion
4 bay leaves
3 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon Sage
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
A pinch of ground pepper
Put water into pan,when boiling add salt, pepper and oatmeal.
Cook two hours,stirring often, keep lid on while cooking low heat.
Add meat, onion,bay leaves and spices, mix well.
Let cook one hour, stirring often.
Pour into bread pans. When cool place in refrigerator. Freeze if you don't eat it all for 10 days.
When ready to use, slice the loaf of goetta into 1/2 - 3/4 inch slices and put into a pan in which there is a little hot bacon fat. Fry until well-browned. Serve with scrambled eggs and rye toast.
This sounds like my mom’s dressing - except that now she uses the Pepperidge Farm packaged cubed bread. It might be even better. Her dressing is the best! I still remember her putting out the slices of bread on the stove and countertop to dry out before she made the stuffing.
I love Scrapple!
(I don’t care what’s in it :>)
It’s real hard to find in my area now - even frozen.
I love fried Scrapple with a little bit of Maple Syrup on top...yum
Will give your recipe a go some time.
I use basically the same recipe but substitute Pepperidge Farm stuffing mix. A very long time ago I fried up a tube of Jimmy Dean sausage, added that and it became our favorite! LOVE sage in stuffing!!!
Throw some cubed up apples at the near end of frying up the sausage to add to your stuffing mix....tasty!
I recently bought some goat cheese at Costco just to try it out. I like it but the texture was a little different. Kind of crumbly. I took some and added a small amount of butter and mixed it and it was a lot smoother to spread on crackers. What are some other uses for it besides spreading on crackers or toast?
Thanks! Never thought of that. Will definitely try that this year!
I love it in salads and sliced or crumbled on top of hot-off-the-grill, seasoned chicken breasts. Yum.
Carrabbas does a chicken dish similar to what I'm talking about...it's called Chicken Bryan Texas, I believe.
Well it does seem to go with chicken. I’m eating some right now on “Chicken in a Bisket” crackers. Tommorow I’ll try it instead of cream cheese on my onion bagel.
Good thinking, and glad you liked it!!
