I came home and made the salad with a regular lime, and the result was equally enticing.
* Exported from MasterCook * Crepes Recipe By : How to Cook Everything, Mark Bittman, p. 750 Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:30 Categories : Appetizers Bobbie - Not Sent Desserts Luncheons Main Dishes Pancakes/Waffles Volume 2-7 July '99 Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 pinch salt 1 1/4 cups milk 2 eggs 2 tablespoons butter -- melted & cooled OR canola oil -- or other neutral oil 1 tablespoon sugar -- (optional)* Combine the flour, salt and milk and beat until smooth (You can do this in a blender if you like, but do not overblend). Beat or blend in the eggs and stir in the melted and cooled butter or oil. If time allows, refrigerate for an hour and beat again. Place a small non-stick skillet with shallow sides over Medium heat. When a drop of water skitters across the surface before evaporating, add 1/2 tsp of butter. Ladle about 1 tablespoon of batter into the skillet and swirl it around so that it forms a thin layer on the bottom of the pan. Pour excess batter back into the bowl or blender container. The batter will dry before your eyes, when the top is no longer liquid, less than a minute, turn the crepe and cook the other side for about 15 seconds. The crepe should brown only very slightly and not become at all crisp. Repeat the process, adding butter to the skillet. If you Use a non-stick skillet you won't need any at all. Adjust heat as needed. Stack the finished crepes on a plate; you may reheat them before serving. Makes 12 to 16 crepes, enough for 4-8 servings. Light Simple Crepes: These are great breakfast treat. Separate the eggs. Add yolks only to batter, beat the whites until stiff, but not dry; gently fold them into batter. Cook the crepes as above: they will be thicker. As they finish, do not stack, but sprinkle each with about 1 tsp. sugar, or to taste and 1/8 tsp. cinnamon. Run under broiler until the sugar melts, about 1 minute. Serve immediately, with butter or freshly squeezed lemon juice. Filled Sweet Crepes: As you finish cooking each crepe in basic recipe place 1-2 Tbsp. filling in the center then fold into quarters. When all done, arrange on a buttered ovenproof platter. Dot with butter and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon (opt.) Heat in a 400 F. oven for 10 minutes, then serve. Filling Ideas for Sweet Crepes: (1) Any jam, marmalade, preserves, jelly (2) Any peeled, cored fruit, cooked briefly with sugar to taste, a little butter and/or rum or cinnamon or raw fruit such as strawberries, sweetened, topped with whipped cream or topping. (3) Cream Cheese, yogurt cheese or sour cream mixed with sugar to taste. (4) Sweetened butter to which with seasoning such as cinnamon, rum or minced orange zest mixture. (5) Mixture of 1/2 half cup sugar, 1 tsp. cinnamon, 3 Tbsp. butter and 1/2 half cup chopped walnuts, pecans or almonds. Filled Savory Crepes: These are essentially eggy tortillas. As you finish cooking each crepe, place about 2 tablespoons of filling in center and fold them up. Arrange them on a greased ovenproof platter. Sprinkle with lemon juice, butter, grated Parmesan or other cheese, Bechamel Sauce or other topping. Heat in a 400 F. oven for 10 minutes, then serve. Five Filing Ideas for Savory Crepes: (1) Cooked, drained, chopped green vegetables reheated in butter or oil. No need to cut up asparagus and other veggies that fit crepes. (2) Any thick stew of meat, chicken or fish. (3) Cooked spiced beans or beans and rice. (4) Thin slices of ham, grated cheese. (5) Sauteed mushrooms and or onions.

* Exported from MasterCook * Cucumber Relish Recipe By : Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Volume 2-7 July '99 Cucumbers Pickles/Relish & Chutney Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 1 cup white vinegar 1 1/4 cups water 3/4 cup sugar 1 T salt 3 T chopped dill weed (opt.) This is so good, and if you've grown your own cukes, you don't even have to peel them- it's up to you! Mix all together until sugar is dissolved. Chill. Peel and slice, paper thin, as many cucumbers as liquid will cover or maybe a little more. Allow to stand in refrigerator 1/2 hour or longer. One recipe suggests that cukes will wilt if kept too long. Drain and serve as salad or relish. (I do a big bunch, and serve it over a few days. The cukes do get wilted, but I like them that way) Posted on FareShare 7-99 by ddmmom/Gayle <ddmmom@linknet.net> - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - |
