      Mediterranean Salad

      Posted by admin on 3rd February 2010

      Mediterranean Salad

      2 c French or Italian bread;

      -preferably day old -cut in 2 inch cubes 1 T Olive oil

      1 c English cucumber

      -in 1/2 inch cubes 1/3 c Red pepper; 1/2 inch pieces

      1/2 c Green onions; thinly sliced

      4 c Parsley leaves

      -coarsely chopped 2 md Tomatoes; cut in 1/2 ” cubes

      ———————————-DRESSING———————————- 2 T Lemon juice

      3/4 ts -Salt

      1 lg Garlic cloves;finely chopped

      1/2 ts -pepper, black, ground

      1 ts Cinnamon, ground

      1/4 ts Allspice, ground

      9 T Olive oil; extra virgin

      “”NOTE: After a couple of hours, the croutons will start to absorb the dressing. Some people like this; others (including the reviewer for Toronto Life!) do not. Time the addition of the croutons to suit your taste.” Preheat oven to 350F. Spread the bread cubes on a large baking sheet & toss with the oil. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, turning them every few minutes. They will take 10 to 20 minutes, depending on how fresh the bread is. Assemble the cucumber, peppers, green onion and parsley in a large bowl; leave out the tomatoes for now. Prepare the dressing: Stir the lemon juice, salt and garlic together until the salt dissolves. Add the pepper, cinnamon and allspice, then slowly beat in the olive oil. (May be prepared up to 12 hours ahead to this point.) Place the cut up tomatoes on top of the other vegetables. Pour on the dressing and toss well; add the croutons and toss again (see note).

            Kettle Korn

            Submitted to recipegoldmine.com by Sandy

            Notes: You have seen this tasty pop corn snack in stores, and sold just about everywhere. You can make this inexpensively at home.

            3 tablespoon granulated sugar
            1 teaspoon salt
            1/4 cup safflower oil
            1 cup raw popcorn
            1 tablespoon corn syrup
            8 quarts heavy gauge pot/lid

            Process granulated sugar and salt in a mini food processor for 60 - 90 seconds.

            Using a large heavy gage pot with lid place on stove and preheat on medium high. Pour Safflower oil in pot and heat oil for about 1 minute. Pour corn into hot oil. Heat corn with oil for about 30 seconds, add corn syrup to hot oil and pop corn that has not yet popped. Stir corn mixture to mix corn syrup into the oil. Place lid on pot. The corn should be starting to pop shortly. Shake pot constantly while cooking. When the popcorn starts to pop and has a layer of popped corn covering the raw corn very quickly pour the salt and sugar mixture in to the pop corn that is popping. This needs to be timed right, and quickly done. A few kernels may fly out. A glass lid is a big help. During the cooking process you must be constantly shaking the pot. When the corn has slowed the process of popping, quickly remove the pot from the stove and pour into a large bowl. Its better if some has not popped so the rest will not burn with the sugar content.
