Recipe By     :Lucinda Rasmussen for Veggies Unite!
Serving Size  : 6     Preparation Time :0:00

  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  3             medium  cucumbers -- peeled and thinly
                        sliced
     1/2           cup  cider vinegar
     1/2           cup  water
  1         tablespoon  sugar
  2                     green onions -- sliced
                        into 1/4 thick rings
     1/2           cup  yogurt -- sour cream
                        or mayonnaise

Put cucumbers in a non-metallic bowl. Mix together the vinegar, water and
sugar.

Pour over cucumbers, cover with plastic wrap and allow to marinate in the
refrigerator for 24 hours.

Drain cucumbers and mix in the green onions and yogurt (or sour cream or
mayonnaise). You can also add some sliced sweet onions (i.e., Vidalia) to
the cucumbers when you marinate them. This recipe is on the tart side.

  3             pounds  frying chicken -- cut-up
                        **Seasoned Flour**
  1 1/2           cups  self-rising flour
                        [make your own by adding 1 teaspoon
                        baking powder to 1 1/2 cups regular flour]
  1           teaspoon  garlic powder

  1         tablespoon  salt
  1 1/2      teaspoons  paprika -- use Hungarian

Combine flour and seasonings in a bowl.

Combine egg with buttermilk. Add gradually to dry ingredients.

Heat oil to 365 degrees F. in deep fat fryer to a depth of 2 inches.

Moisten chicken pieces, dip in seasoned flour then dip in batter. Coat with
dry flour mix a second time.

If possible, it makes a better crisper crust, if you lay chicken on a rack
in pan. Cover with plastic wrap loosely and refrigerate at least 1 hour
before frying.

Fry in hot oil, not crowding chicken pieces for 15 to 18 minutes or until
well browned and tender. You can always remove a piece and pierce with fork
to make sure juices a running clear. With tongs, remove to paper towels to
drain.

Serves 3 or 4.

  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
     3/4           cup  heavy cream
                        or sour cream
  2        tablespoons  vinegar
                        or lemon juice
     1/4      teaspoon  salt
     1/4      teaspoon  paprika
  1              large  cucumber -- pared, seeded,
                        and cut finely
                        Slivered almonds
  2          teaspoons  finely chopped chives
                        or dill -- optional

Beat cream until stiff. If the cream is sweet, add lemon juice slowly.
Season the sauce with salt and paprika. Add cucumbers and almonds to the
sauce. Add herbs if desired. Serve cold with aspics, mousses, cold fish or
meats (especially salmon).

There was no measure/amount for the almonds; just "slivered almonds". I 
use blanched and generally a handful.

Recipe By     :

Categories    : Volume 7-08 Aug 2004

  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  2             medium  cucumbers -- peeled and
                        sliced very thin
  1         tablespoon  salt
     1/2         small  Vidalia onion -- sliced very thin
                        or other sweet onion
                        or 1 small yellow onion
  4          teaspoons  red-wine vinegar
  2        tablespoons  vegetable oil
                        Freshly ground black pepper
  3        tablespoons  snipped fresh dill

Put the cucumbers in a colander and sprinkle with about 1 1/2 teaspoons of
the salt, tossing to distribute evenly.

Put the onion in a small bowl and sprinkle with the remaining 1 1/2
teaspoons salt, adding about 1 teaspoon of the vinegar as well - the salt
and vinegar will mellow the bite of the raw onion.

Let the vegetables stand for at least 10 minutes and up to 30 minutes, then
rinse them in cool water and gently squeeze out excess moisture, blotting
with paper towels if necessary.

Mix the cucumbers and onions. Add the oil, the remaining 1 tablespoon
vinegar and a good grind of fresh pepper. Taste and add more vinegar if you
like. Toss well with the dill. Chill for at least 30 minutes and serve
chilled as a condiment-type salad.

Recipe By     :Ice Cream Book by Bruce Weinstein
Serving Size  : 8     Preparation Time :0:00
Categories    : Volume 7-08 Aug 2004

  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  4              large  cucumbers
     1/4           cup  sugar
  3        tablespoons  chopped fresh dill
     1/4      teaspoon  salt

Peel the cucumbers, slice them in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds
with a spoon. Roughly chop the cucumbers and place them in a food processor
with the sugar, dill and salt. Process until completely smooth, stopping to
scrape down the sides of the work bowl as necessary.

Refrigerate until cold or overnight. Stir the chilled mixture, then freeze
in 1 or 2 batches in an ice-cream maker according to manufacturer's
directions. When finished, the granita will be soft and have the
consistency of sorbet. Transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze to
harden.

To serve, scrape the top of the granita with a heavy ice cream spade or
scoop, creating shaved ice crystals. Serve in small, chilled dishes.
Alternately, pour the cucumber mixture into ice cube trays, filling only
half way, and freeze until firm. Before serving, process the cucumber ice
cubes in a food processor until chopped and slushy. Serve immediately.

VARIATIONS:

Cracked Cucumber Granita: Substitute 1 tablespoon cracked black peppercorns
for the dill. Proceed with the recipe as directed.

Cucumber Basil Granita: Omit the dill. Add 8 fresh basil leaves to the food
processor along with the cucumber. Proceed with the recipe as directed.

Cucumber Mint Granita: Omit the dill. Add 1 teaspoon fresh mint leaves to
the food processor along with the cucumber. Proceed with the recipe as
directed.

Optional : add 1 tablespoon green creme de menthe before freezing.

Cucumber Thyme Granita: Substitute 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves for the
dill. Proceed with the recipe as directed.

NOTES : Try this light, refreshing, and unusual ice as a summer lunch
opener served in a hollowed-out tomato. Or, drizzle with a little
buttermilk for a very interesting summer "soup."
