beef marrow / vegetables
|
- 1 package beef
marrow (soup) bones (approx. 4 or 5 cut up pieces)
- 1 leek
- 1 turnip
- 1 celery stalk
- other vegetables/herbs
you like
- salt to taste
- 1/2 - 1/2 cup
vinegar
- 8 -12 cups water
Saute bones in a little bit of oil or 1/2 cup of previous
batch broth.
Chop up vegetables and add to bones. Pour vinegar onto bone
marrows. This softens the marrow and allows it to disintegrate
into the broth.
Add water and salt.
Simmer on medium for a half hour, then on low for three hours.
Stir occasionally and check to see that marrow is leaving
bones.
Let sit in regrigerator over night and skim off fat.
Have a cupful when tired/hungry.
According to folk wisdom, one cup has as much calcium as a
quart of milk!

If you make the chicken soup in the book AND cook it for 3
hours, according
to Elaine, the same is true about the calcium.

thyme or oregano, 1/2 cup dry white wine and 1 teaspoon salt.

Mexican: Incredibly Delicious Guacamole Soup

bringing the broth to a boil while you prepare the avocados.
Cut avocados in half, remove pits and scoop out each half

you were making guacAmole. Sprinkle each with a little salt
and lime juice; blend well. Pour 1 1/2 cups of the scalding-hot
broth into each bowl. Add 1/4 cup shredded chicken and 2 tablespoons
cilantro to each. Serve immediately. Pass lime wedges at the
table. Serves 4.

Zucchini
Soup with Cinnamon, Cumin and Yogurt
This recipe appeared in the paper yesterday and I tried it
today...wonderful. I added pieces of left-over chicken when
I added the
yogurt.
- 1 pound trimmed
zucchini
- 3 cups or so homemade
chicken stock
- 1 tbsp. butter
- 2/3 cup chopped
onion
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground
cumin
- 1/2 cup homemade
yogurt
- minced fresh cilentro
(I used dried)
- salt to taste
- lime or lemon wedges
if served cold
Chop zucchini in large chunks and put in small soup pot. Add
chicken broth. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, simmer, covered,
about 10 minutes (until zucchini are very tender.)
Meanwhile, heat butter in a small, non-stick frying pan. Add
onion, cumin and cinnamon, and saute until onion is soft and
spices are fragrant.
Put both mixtures into a food processor or blender. Puree until
smooth, but do not sieve. Add yogurt (and chicken, if desired).
Serve hot or chilled, sprinkled with cilentro, if use fresh.
If use dried, put in with cumin and cinnamon when sauteeing
onion. May wait to add salt at table, individually.
Serves 4 as a first course, or 2 as an entree.
Bon appitit!

Carrot Ginger Soup
Another mouth-watering recipe I recently made up:
In a large pot, saute a few cloves of garlic and a chopped onion
in olive oil, then add 2 cups water and about half of a butternut
squash (chopped). While this is cooking, add a pound of peeled,
chopped organic carrots and about fifteen thin slices of peeled
fresh ginger. Add salt to taste...some pepper...and a few shakes
of cinnamon (no more).
Allow to cook for at least twenty minutes. Then blend the entire
mixture in a food processor or blender until smooth.
If necessary add some boiled water while blending to get the desired
consistency, but be careful not to use too much water. This soup
is a puree...a thick and creamy soup.
Add a dab of butter to the bowl if you like, and mix before serving.
Delicieux!

Tomato Garlic Soup
("warms you from the inside out!")
(*and Grilled Eggplant)
Blanche twenty plum tomatoes. Set aside.
Lightly saute six cloves garlic in three tablespoons olive oil.
Add pureed tomatoes to pan. Add a heaping tsp of dried basil (lots
of fresh basil in summer would be luscious). Saute for several
more minutes. Remove from pan. If you have them on hand, grilled,
peeled eggplant slices thicken the soup nicely. Add several slices
of the eggplant to the blend. Add salt and black pepper. Puree
with small amounts of water. This is a thick and hearty soup.
Serve sprinkled with parmesan cheese and fresh parsley.
*To prepare the eggplant, which also makes a nice appetizer the
night before the soup, slice eggplant a quarter inch thick, salt
lightly, let sit fifteen minutes, then pat with paper towels to
absorb excess water. Put in 375 F (200 C) oven for fifteen to
twenty minutes. Marinate for several hours in a drizzle of olive
oil, a few cloves of crushed garlic, and several tablespoons of
lemon juice. Sprinkle liberally with fresh parsley before serving.
Serve with freshly ground black pepper.

For those of you
who miss balsamic vinegar, here's a recipe for making your
own SCD version, from the April 1999 issue of "The Jewish
Homemaker" magazine (incorporating the Kosher Food Guide
from Organized Kashrus Laboratories, known as the "O-K"
in the kosher-observant world) <http://ok.org/homemaker/>

-
3 eggs
- 1 tsp water
- 1 tsp salt (sounds
like a bit much, don't you think?)
Heat lightly greased
frying pan and spread with a thin coat of mixture. Flip out
on towel and roll 5 of these egg leaves tightly together.
Slice into thin noodles. Serve hot in chicken soup.
...I have a neato
Maxim crepe maker - just dip it into the batter and peel off
the crepe/noodle in a minute or two. I highly recommend it!
