Cucumber and Tomato Gazpacho

Allrecipes.Au

Gazpacho is a wonderful soup for a warm summer's evening.

Ingredients

Serves: 8

6 large, very ripe tomatoes

1 large cucumber or 2 medium, seeded and diced

1 medium red onion, coarsely diced

3 garlic cloves, coarsely diced

4 to 6 tablespoons red wine vinegar, to taste

75ml extra virgin olive oil

1 pinch salt and pepper, to taste

croutons or fresh crusty bread

Preparation method

Prep: 15 minutes

1. Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil. Cut crosses into the bottom of the tomatoes with a sharp knife and place for 1-2 minutes in the boiling water until the skin begins to come off. Remove with a slotted spoon and place in a bowl of ice water. Do this with all of the tomatoes.

2. Remove skin from the tomatoes and cut out the seeds over a bowl so that no juice is lost; discard the seeds.

3. Puree flesh of the tomatoes with cucumber, onion, garlic and red wine vinegar in a food processor or blender; either coarsely or finely to your liking.

4. Add the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Puree again briefly.

5. Chill the gazpacho and remove from the fridge at least 30 minutes before serving. Serve with fresh croutons or bread.

I'm going to post a recipe that Cherryfizz shared a little while ago.
I made it for dinner recently using chicken breasts and we loved it! Thanks, Anne.

Tangy Lime Chicken

8 chicken thighs - boneless, skinless
2 lemons juiced
2 limes juiced (I often use the zest)
1 garlic clove minced or pressed
1/4 tsp dried thyme
1/8 tsp dried oregano
1/8 tsp pepper
1/3 cup white wine or chicken broth
1 tbsp butter or margarine

In large bowl or plastic ziploc mix together the juices, garlic, thyme, pepper, oregano and wine. Add chicken and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Remove chicken from marinade and arrange in large baking pan in a single layer then pour marinade over chicken pieces. Dot with butter and bake at 425F for 40 minutes basting every 10 minutes with pan juices.

To serve arrange chicken pieces on platter and spoon pan juices over top, garnish with lemon and lime twist

I watched this one on TV this morning, it looks really good an has great ratings. Pecan Bars Recipe courtesy Claire Robinson, 2010 24 bars.Ingredients Crust: 1 1/2 sticks (3/4 cup) cold unsalted butter, cubed, plus more for dish 1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour 2/3 cup light brown sugar 1 teaspoon kosher salt Filling: 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened 1 cup light brown sugar Pinch salt 1/3 cup light corn syrup 1/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour 3 cups coarsely chopped pecans Directions Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 13 by 9-inch baking dish with foil allowing an overhang about 2 inches off the sides. Butter the foil. In a food processor, blend together flour, sugar, butter and salt until the mixture resembles coarse sand. Add 2 tablespoons cold water and mix until the dough just holds together. Press dough into bottom of buttered baking dish and bake in oven until golden in color, about 20 to 25 minutes. Meanwhile, make the filling. In a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, add the butter, brown sugar and a pinch of salt and mix on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the corn syrup, flour and pecans and mix until just combined. Spread the filling over the baked crust and bake until golden brown, about 30 to 35 minutes. Remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan. Remove from pan by pulling up the foil sides and putting it on a cutting board. Cut bars in desired size with a sharp knife and arrange them on a serving tray. Can be stored in an airtight container up to 2 days. . Here is a link that might be useful: Pecan pie Bars

I'm not sure if I've posted this before or not, but I make these often with the leftovers from a roast beef dinner.I've used peas in place of the carrots a time or two, corn isn't as good IMO. Beef Pasties 2 cups cubed cooked roast (1/4 inch pieces) 1 1/2 cups cubed cooked potatoes 1 cup gravy 1/2 cup diced cooked carrots 1/2 cup diced cooked onion 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/8-1/4 teaspoon pepper pastry for double crust pie Half and Half or milk In a bowl, combine the first nine ingredients, set aside. Roll out pastry (floured surface) into an 8 inch circle. Mound about 3/4ths to 1 cup filling on half of the circle. Moisten edges with water, fold dough over filling and press the edges with a fork to seal. Place on ungreased baking sheet. Cut slits in top of each, brush with half and half. Bake at 450 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Makes 4 servings. *Note if using purchased pre-rolled pastry, cut each circle in half, put filling on, fold pastry over forming a wedge.
