5 cup cucumbers
3 cup red onions
6 cup sour cream
2 tbsp salt
3 tbsp sugar
1/2 cup fresh dill weed- chopped
1/2 cup lemon juice
Directions
This is from Alice Brock at Alice's Restaurant. Yes, THAT one.
Peel and slice cucumbers as thin as you can. Peel and slice red
onions thin as you can. (It's easier if you cut the onion in half
and slice cut side down)
Use a deep 1 gallon bowl or crock. Alternate layers of cukes and
onions with sprinkles of the salt and sugar between each layer. This
will draw out the juices that make it soup. Pile sour cream on top.
DO NOT STIR. Cover and refrigerate for 24 hours or more.
To serve, add the fresh dill weed and lemon juice and stir it up. Add
more lemon juice or sugar to taste.
Cool and refreshing, this is just perfect when it is too hot to cook,
and cucumbers are running wild.

The History of Recipes
Food historians have traced the existance of recipes far back into ancient history, in truth as far back as early Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, these, early cookbooks were just simple pictorial instructions for preparing meals.
As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years there were two books which appeared in the fourteenth century ; a cookery book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, they are not about the indian food that is familiar to us all today, but rather recipes for the types of meals enjoyed by the rich and powerful of the period. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and herbs from the holy lands, including basil and coriander. The introduction of these new herbs and spices led to an increase in publications on food, most of which still exist in private collections. Like it or not, the introduction of television gave us celebrity TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as this. |
We hope you enjoy this Papa Joe's Cucumber & Red Onion Soup recipe.
