Answer 1

Sweet/sour cucumbers . Slice cucumbers very thin, and soak them overnight (in the fridge) in a mixture of vinegar, sugar, salt, pepper, and dill. The proportion of vinegar to sugar depends on tour own personal taste. Start with small amounts and keep taste-testing as you mix until the flavor pleases your palate. My Lithuanian Grandmother used to add huge dollops of sour cream to the finished liquid. But I never have any sour cream on hand, so I've usually made this without it, and it tastes okay to me. Has a nice sharp tangy mouth-puckering effect, leaves the taste buds feeling clean! Spices up a bland plate. (When I didn't happen to have cucumbers, I've tried this with whatever veggies I had on hand. Works well with small bits of broccoli, snap peas, and shredded cabbage.)

Answer 3

Hmm, how about this mushroom risotto?
Mushroom Risotto (from “The essential Vegetarian Cookbook”)

4 C light mushroom broth or vegetable broth (I use knorr vegetable bullion cubes)
2 tsp olive oil
3 scallions, white part only, minced
1 shallot or small red or white onion, minced
1 cup chopped mixed mushrooms
1 cup Arborio rice
1 tablespoon balsamic or red wine vinegar (I use balsamic)

Pour the broth into a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Keep broth simmering.

Meanwhile, sauté scallions and shallot in butter until softened, about 6 minutes. Add mushrooms and sauté until they darken and begin to release their liquid. Add the rice and stir to coat with the vegetables, about 1 minute. Turn up the heat to medium-high and add the vinegar. Stir until the liquid has evaporated, about 1 minute.

Add about a cup of broth to the rice. Stir over medium heat until broth has been absorbed, about 5 minutes. Continue adding ½ cup of broth at a time, stirring each time until liquid has been absorbed. This should take about half an hour total.

Answer 4

Sonoran Ceviche

Ceviche prepared Gulf of California style!!

Ingredients:
Fish (can be Tilapia, snapper, black bass.....this last is excellent for Ceviche)
1 L of Clamato
1 can of V8 juice
2 lbs limes
1 ball Onion
1 or 2 tomatoes
Sea Salt

1- Coat your choice of fish filet with a generous layer of salt, both sides and put in the freezer for at least 3 hours.

2- Cut the fish into 1/4" inch squares aprox. Put in a bowl, add water and quickly drain (just once and quickly, this step is only to remove the excess salt, you don't want to remove all of it). Slice the onion and tomato and mix it with the fish

3- Pour lime juice, I put 2 lbs on the ingredient list, but you have to add enough lemon juice to have an equal volume of juice and fish, the fish has to be all submerged in lemon juice.

4- Refrigerate for at last 2 hours, I usually prepare this at night and leave overnight....it tastes alot better!!!

5- Drain around 90% of the lime juice, add the bottle of Clamato and the can of V8 juice...mix.

6- Season with pepper, serve on cocktail glass, add ketchup and hot sauce to your liking and eat with crackers.

Enjoy
