Cucumber and tomato julienne with Feta Cheese

by Judy Gilliard
This dish becomes oh so elegant just by placing it in a Martini Glass

 

2 large English cucumbers, julienne

2 medium tomato's, seeded and cut julienne

5 ounces Feta cheese

1 teaspoon red chili flakes

1/3 cup rice wine vinegar

 

1.        To Julienne the cucumber is to slice into very thin matchstick-like pieces. Food is first cut into 1- to 2-inch sections, and then sliced into 1/8-inch wafers. The wafers are then stacked on top of each other and cut into 1/8-inch matchstick-size pieces.  Or if you have my favorite gadget that you looks like a vegetable peeler, but is a julienne slicer.   If you would rather you can simply slice them thin on the angle!

 

2.       

To julienne the tomatoes cut them in half and scoop out the seeds with a spoon, then slice in little strips.

 

3.        In a large bowl, combine all ingredients. Serve immediately in martini glasses.

 

5.        The cucumbers, tomatoes, and Feta cheese are all found at the Village Point Farmers Market.





Warp Drive Chocolate Pie

This recipe comes from listener Frank Reid

It is an extremely simple recipe with incredible results.


Warp Drive Chocolate Pie
1 12oz pack of chocolate chips
5 Egg yolks
3 tablespoons spoons Brandy, Kailua or Grand Marnier
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
8" Oreo cookie or graham cracker crust

Blend in blender first 3 ingredients on low 1 minute. Heat cream just to boiling, pour
into blender, blend on high 1 minute. Pour into crust, chill, uncovered 3
hours in the refrigerator.
The hot cream melts the chocolate and cooks the egg yolks. Cut into 1 inch
slices. I sometimes drizzle it with a fresh raspberry marmalade or puree
(only with brandy).

Grilled Flank Steak with Ginger Marinade

Recipe courtesy Aida Mollenkamp

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1 (5-inch) piece ginger, sliced thinly
1/4 cup sesame oil
8 medium garlic cloves, smashed
2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lime juice
1 tablespoon honey
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 pounds flank steak, trimmed of fat and sinew

In a nonreactive dish or large resealable plastic bag, combine all ingredients except steak and mix thoroughly. Add steak and turn to thoroughly coat. Cover dish or close bag and allow to marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes. (If you are making ahead, cover, and place in refrigerator. Can be marinated up to 24 hours in refrigerator.)

Once steak has marinated, remove from refrigerator and bring to room temperature for at least 15 minutes. Heat a lightly oiled grill pan to medium-high heat. When pan is heated, remove steak from marinade, shake off excess, add to pan and cook for about 6 to 8 minutes per side for medium rare.

Transfer to a cutting board, season with additional salt and freshly ground black pepper and let rest for 10 to 15 minutes. Slice thinly across the grain and serve.
