The locals are perhaps best known for their culinary love affair with the famous Blue Crab -- and this traditional and delicious She Crab Soup is made from the sweet, delicate meat of the She Crab. A bit of roe adds richness and flavor. Its elegant bisque-like creaminess will delight your senses.

3 RECIPES FOR DRIED CUCUMBERS RECIPE - (3.4/5)



3 Recipes for Dried Cucumbers Recipe - (3.4/5) image

Provided by Pikachutherecipereader

Number Of Ingredients 16

Spicy:
These are great just eaten from a bowl, or tossed onto soups. They make a great compliment to cream soups like cream of mushroom, or cream of chicken. Toss 1/2 pound of sliced cucumbers in:
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp paprika
Herb:
These are wonderful served alongside light meals like vegetable soups or grilled chicken or fish. Feel free to substitute your favorite herbs, such as dill and parsley, or basil and oregano.
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper (optional)
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried rosemary
Sweet:
The lightness of cucumbers lends itself to a sweet flavor mix. These make nice snacks, and I think they'd be a great addition sprinkled over spicier dishes as a way to offset the heat, like a spicy goulash or bowl of hot chili:
1/2 tsp sugar
1 tsp cocoa powder
1 tsp cinnamon

Steps:

  • HOW-TO For all of the flavor combinations, I dried enough cucumbers for one or two servings (1/2 a pound of cucumber); feel free to adjust the recipes to make more. The process is the same: 1. Slice the cucumbers thin with either a sharp knife or a food mandolin. I sliced mine with a sharp knife to about 1/8 of an inch thick. 2. Toss your sliced cucumbers in your spice mix. 3. Place your sliced, spiced cucumbers in a single layer in your food dehydrator or (like I did) on a rack placed over a cookie sheet. Cucumbers seem to stick more than other foods I've dried, so make sure you oil the rack lightly. 4. Dry for several hours in the oven at 170F (or the lowest setting of your oven), or however long your food dehydrator takes to dry foods. 5. Eat as chips, or save to sprinkle over savory stews, salads, or toss into soups.

CLASSIC WHITE CAKE RECIPES



Classic White Cake Recipes image

After trying many white cake recipes,this recipe clicked for me.I followed this recipe from cooks illustrated by making slight alterations.

Provided by deepasundar_05

Categories     Dessert

Time 38m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/4 cups cake flour
1 cup sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
1/4 cup butter, softened
6 large egg whites, bring to room temperature
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup whole milk

Steps:

  • For the Cake: Set oven rack in middle position. (If oven is too small to cook both layers on a single rack, set racks in upper-middle and lower-middle positions.) Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spray two 9-inch round cake pans with nonstick cooking spray; line the bottoms with parchment or waxed paper rounds. Spray the paper rounds, dust the pans with flour, and invert pans and rap sharply to remove excess flour.
  • Mix cake flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in bowl of electric mixer at slow speed. Add butter and vegetable shortening; continue beating at slow speed until mixture resembles moist crumbs, with no powdery streaks remaining.
  • Add ½ cup of milk to crumbs and beat at medium speed (or high speed if using handheld mixer) for 1½ minutes. Add ½ cup of water and beat 30 seconds more. Stop mixer and scrape sides of bowl. Return mixer to medium (or high) speed and beat 20 seconds longer.
  • Now set this mixture aside.Clean the paddle wheel thoroughly.Beat the egg whites into soft mound of white peaks.
  • Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the batter.Do the folding with a spatula.
  • Divide batter evenly between two prepared cake pans; using rubber spatula, spread batter to pan walls and smooth tops. Arrange pans at least 3 inches from the oven walls and 3 inches apart. (If oven is small, place pans on separate racks in staggered fashion to allow for air circulation.) Bake until thin skewer or toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 23 to 25 minutes.
  • Let cakes rest in pans for 3 minutes. Loosen from sides of pans with a knife, if necessary, and invert onto wire racks. Reinvert onto additional wire racks. Let cool completely, about 1½ hours.

CREAM OF LETTUCE SOUP (FROM MY GREAT RECIPES)



Cream of Lettuce Soup (From My Great Recipes) image

This recipe comes from the Virginia Apple Growers Assoc site. I have posted the original and my recipe that was a mistake to begin with, but we love it now. I used Apple Butter recipe #93886 from Margo.

Provided by carole in orlando

Categories     Quick Breads

Time 1h10m

Yield 1 loaf, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups all-purpose flour (I used half whole wheat flour)
1 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups apple butter (divided)
1/2 cup apple juice
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 egg, beaten
1 cup raisins (optional)
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • Combine flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large mixing bowl.
  • In a small bowl mix 3/4 cup apple butter, apple juice, butter and egg together. Fold in the raisins and chopped nuts. Add the apple butter mixture to the dry ingredients and blend together. Pour half the mixture in a loaf pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Gently spread the reserved 3/4 cup apple butter over the batter. Pour the rest of the batter over the apple butter mixture and spread evenly over the top to cover. Bake at 350 degrees for 55 to 65 minutes or until done.
  • To bake "my mistake loaf" just put all the apple butter in the wet ingredients and blend into the dry ingredients. I cut up dried pineapple pieces and added with the nuts instead of the raisins. Pour the whole batter into the loaf pan and bake as above.
  • This makes a heavy moist bread that is delicious.
  • Any kind of nuts can be used and any kind of dried fruit that your prefer.
  • This can be sugar free using Splenda Brown Sugar blend and Margo's Apple Butter recipe using Splenda.

1/2 celery root, 2 carrots, 2 celery sticks, 1 leek
1 onion
2 bay leaves
2 cloves
2 liter purified water
100 g butter
3 tbsp flour
1 small jar white asparagus, whole or in pieces, 10 thin green asparagus, frozen or jar
frozen peas (or fresh)
2 small cans mushrooms
2 egg yolks
1/2 lemon
100 ml heavy cream
salt, pepper, nutmeg to taste
1/2 lemon

Steps:

  • Soup: - wash the chicken, dry it and put it a pan that is big enough for 2-3 liter liquid - add 2 liter cold water and bring it to a boil. - cut celery root in cubes, cut carrots in 2-3 pieces. - add the celery, the root, carrots, bay leaves to the broth. - cut the onion in 2 pieces, in every piece stick a clove, add it to the soup. - let it simmer for 1-2 hours or until chicken meat is tender. Fricassee: - take the cooked chicken out of the broth, drain it through a a sieve. Keep 1 liter for the fricassee. - Remove all the nice looking meat from the bones (don't use the skin, or dark brown pieces); cut bigger pieces into smaller pieces. - Drain mushrooms and asparagus. If you use frozen asparagus break the frozen asparagus in small pieces. - Add butter in an extra pan and on reduced heat, mix in the flour while stirring until the flour has a golden yellow color. The butter should not become brown. - Very slowly add the chicken broth, first a little bit, then more and more while whisking it. You want to avoid clumping. - Let it simmer for 10 minutes on low heat while stirring frequently. - Add chicken meat, asparagus, peas and mushrooms to the sauce. - Now add the yolk into the milk, and mix it carefully into the fricassee mix. Important: The sauce should not be boiling hot. Let it cool off a bit before adding the yolk/milk mix, and don't bring it to a boil again. - Squeeze the lemon and and add the juice to the sauce. Spice it with salt and pepper and nutmeg to taste. You can also add additional lemon juice if you think it needs more. You should taste the juice a bit.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure all your ingredients and equipment are ready to go. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Whenever possible, use fresh ingredients for the best flavor and texture. This is especially important for fruits, vegetables, and herbs.
  • Season to Taste: Don't be afraid to adjust the seasonings in a recipe to suit your own taste. Start with a small amount and add more as needed.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Pan: When cooking meat or vegetables, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and will result in soggy food.
  • Use the Right Cooking Method: Choose the right cooking method for the dish you're making. For example, some dishes are best cooked in a skillet, while others are best cooked in the oven.
  • Don't Overcook: Pay attention to the cooking times in recipes and don't overcook your food. Overcooked food is dry and tough.
  • Let Meat Rest: When cooking meat, let it rest for a few minutes before cutting into it. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
  • Use Herbs and Spices: Herbs and spices can add a lot of flavor to a dish. Experiment with different combinations to find the ones you like best.
  • Garnish Your Dishes: A simple garnish can make a dish look more appealing and inviting. Try using fresh herbs, citrus zest, or nuts.
  • Have Fun: Cooking should be enjoyable, so don't be afraid to experiment and try new things. The more you cook, the better you'll become at it.
