I made this recipe last night and got rave reviews from everyone in the family. Even my youngest DD that is not really into eating fish. Best part, it is simple!

SPICED SALMON KEBABS, Bon Appetit, June 2013

2 Tbs chopped fresh oregano
2 tsp. sesame seeds
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper
1 1/2 lb skinless salmon fillet (preferably wild) cut into 1" pieces
2 lemons very thinly sliced into rounds
2 Tbs olive oil

Special equipment: 16 bamboo skewers soaked in water 1 hour (I used metal skewers)

Prepare grill for medium heat. Mix oregano, sesame seeds, cumin, salt and red pepper flakes in small bowl to combine, set spice mixture aside.

Beginning and ending with salmon, thread salmon and folded lemon lemon slices onto 8 pairs of parallel skewers to make 8 kebabs total. Brush with oil and season with reserved spice mixture.

Grill, turning occasionally, until fish is opaque throughout, 5-8 minutes.

Also, for those of you who get magazines on the iPad, anyone have a recommendation on how to clip or save recipes from them?

I had most of the ingredients on hand, left out the olives, used grape tomatoes, used fresh garlic etc. Thought I would post --- especially good when the weather is warm.

Any excuse to use feta. :D

Chicken Souvlaki Salad

The elements of a classic Greek salad and a chicken souvlaki sandwich combine in this piquant dish. You can also use lamb in place of the chicken.


Ingredients
2 teaspoons bottled minced garlic, divided
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast
3 cups cubed peeled cucumber (about 3 cucumbers)
1/2 cup vertically sliced red onion
1/2 cup (2 ounces) crumbled feta cheese
2 tablespoons chopped pitted kalamata olives
2 ripe tomatoes, cored and cut into 1-inch pieces (about 1 pound)
1/2 cup plain fat-free yogurt
1/4 cup grated peeled cucumber
1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Preparation
Preheat grill or broiler.
Combine 1 teaspoon garlic and the next 6 ingredients (1 teaspoon garlic through chicken breast) in a large zip-top plastic bag. Seal the bag and shake to coat. Remove chicken from the bag. Grill or broil chicken 5 minutes on each side or until done. Cut chicken into 1-inch pieces.
Combine chicken, cubed cucumber, and the next 4 ingredients (cubed cucumber through tomatoes) in a large bowl. Combine yogurt and remaining ingredients in a small bowl. Pour over chicken mixture; toss well.

Yield
4 servings (serving size: 2 cups)

It's family visit time but we'll have some dining time to ourselves. The two things we're looking for are fantastic Szechuan and fantastic West Coast seafood. We can't get either of those here in Austin.

It's all about the flavors, not about the fancy atmosphere. We can be pretty open to location. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

The recipe calls for chicken but I used tofu as did Choctini. I made it vegan and used cashew cream in place of the yogurt and heavy cream and used TJ's soy mozarella. I also used TJ's whole wheat pizza dough instead of the pita bread but probably wouldn't next time. DH couldn't get enough of it and that's saying something since he usually only likes cheese pizza. I highly recommend trying this.

I have never canned nor will I ever can but my understanding is that you immerse the jars and boil to sterilize and then you heat after filling to ensure that contents are sterilized.

I read a recipe for Preserved Lemon (actually it was from the Jerusalem Cookbook FWIW) and the directions said to fill a container with boiling water - let dry but don't wipe so that the container remains sterile. You then fill with the lemon mixture and wait for six weeks.

My question is that merely pouring boiling water into a container won't sterilize and while it is being air dried, additional bacteria and molds would drop on it.

Am I missing something. I'm not particularly germ phobic in terms of normal operating conditions but this process would never produce a container that would be free of bacteria for six weeks or more. It would be okay in terms of "sterilizing" a bottle for a baby to drink since the container would be clean and normally you wouldn't leave the container filled with food for the bacteria long enough for the process to start.

This is really more of academic interest as I will never can and probably am also unlikely to wait six weeks for preserved lemons. :) ]]> Great Food amarante https://community.cookinglight.com/showthread.php?152778-Question-About-Sterilization-of-Containers Snickers and Milk Chocolate Chip Cookies https://community.cookinglight.com/showthread.php?152777-Snickers-and-Milk-Chocolate-Chip-Cookies&goto=newpost Fri, 17 May 2013 17:08:12 GMT Remember those cookies I made for the picnic that got cancelled?

I often use it in place of high quality beef , stir frying, and putting aside till the rest of the ingredients and all cooked and returning at last minute.
BTW: I bought two packets on sale and the other one was dry and tasteless. It started as stew but I cut it down till bite pieces to make a good soup. I guess you get what you pay for.
