Warm Potato Salad with Beer Dressing

Ingredients

2-1/2 pounds red potatoes
1/2 cup finely chopped mild red or yellow onions
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
2 tablespoons chopped chives

-------------------------------------------------
Beer Dressing

6 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup finely chopped onions
3/4 cup lager
3 tablespoons malt or cider vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon sugar
Salt and pepper


Instructions

To make the salad:

Cook the potatoes in boiling salted water until a knife
point can be easily inserted, about 20-25 minutes. Remove,
and as soon as you can handle them, slice them, unpeeled,
into l/4-inch rounds. While the potatoes are still warm,
gently mix them with the onions, parsley, and beer dressing.
Do not overmix or the potatoes may break into pieces. Taste
for salt and pepper. Garnish with chopped chives. Serve warm
or at room temperature.

Yield: 6 servings

To make the dressing:

Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a small frying pan
over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until just soft,
about 5 minutes. Add the lager, vinegar, and sugar and boil
for 5 minutes. Put into a food processor with the mustard.
With the motor running, slowly pour in the remaining 4
tablespoons olive oil. Taste for salt and pepper.

Yield: about 1 cup, enough for 2-1/2 pounds of potatoes

Birdie Wester's Nutmeg Shortbread

Though these cookies bake for nearly an hour, not much
preparation is required.
Yields eight triangles and stores well in tins. Makes great
gifts!

1 1/3 cups flour
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 pound cold butter, cut into 1/4 inch cubes
6 tablespoons sugar
1 Large egg yolk (Birdie saves the egg whites for meringue)

Heat the oven to 325 degrees. Grease an eight-inch round
cake or pie pan.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and 3/4 teaspoon
of the nutmeg.
With your fingers, rub in the butter completely until the
mixture is the texture of a sandy beach. Star in 5
tablespoons of the sugar.

Stir in the egg yolk. Press the mixture together to make a
dry, crumbly dough and put it on a work surface. Knead
the dough several times until it holds together.

Press the dough into the prepared pan. Make sure it is
smooth and level.
With a small, sharp knife, mark eight wedges halfway into
the dough. With a fork, prick the dough every half-inch.

In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar
and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, then sprinkle it on the dough.
Bake the shortbread until golden, 50-55 minutes.

Let the shortbread cool slightly in the pan set on a rack,
then cut into wedges. Leave it in the pan until
completely cooled.

Clear Chicken Soup With Crackerball Dumplings

1 egg
2 tablespoons butter -- melted (1/4 stick)
6 tablespoons fine soda cracker crumbs
1 tablespoon milk
1 teaspoon finely minced fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon finely minced onion
1/4 teaspoon celery salt
1 dash black pepper
2 quarts clear Homemade Chicken Broth (recipe
follows*)

In a small bowl, beat the egg slightly. Stir in the melted
butter.
Add the remaining ingredients and mix. Shape Into
walnut-size balls.
Allow to stand 30 minutes to 'swell.'
Bring the broth to a simmer in a large saucepan. Drop the
balls into the broth and cook over medium-low heat,
covered, for 10 minutes.

Do not lift the lid. Ladle the soup into bowls, allowing 2
or 3 crackerballs per serving.
Sprinkle thyme over the tops of the soup. Serve
immediately. serves 4

NOTES : Crackerball Dumplings are sort of a farmer's matzoh
ball, made with saltine cracker crumbs instead of matzoh
meal.
Simmer them in clear chicken broth and serve as a first
course
with fresh thyme scattered over the top.

*Homemade Chicken Broth*

1 roasting chicken -- (4-5 pound)
2 medium onions -- quartered
2 large carrots -- halved
2 ribs celery -- halved
1 green bell pepper -- halved
1/2 cup fresh Parsley sprigs
6 whole cloves
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
3 quarts water

Place the chicken, including the neck and, the giblets
(but not the liver), in a large stockpot. Add the rest
of the ingredients. The water should cover the chicken
completely. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat;
then skim off froth as it forms on top. Reduce heat and
simmer for 2 hours.
Remove the chicken from the pot, allow to cool a bit, then
remove the meat and skin, reserving the meat for another use
(soup, salad, or sandwich filling). Return the bones and
skin to the pot. Simmer the broth, covered, for 2 hours
more.
Strain the broth through a sieve into a bowl, pressing the
vegetables and bones with a rubber spatula to extract any
liquid.
Chill broth overnight in the refrigerator and skim off the
fat.
Freeze any stock that will not be used within 2 to 3 days in
1-quart containers.

NOTES : Makes 8-9 cups. I wish that I could suggest a
shortcut to good chicken broth or beef stock I can't. To
get the deep, true flavor of the recipes that call for
stock,
it is best to make them from scratch. Fortunately, the
recipes make large quantities that can be frozen, so you
don't have to do it too often.
