Gazpacho

3 lbs. ripe tomatoes
2 large cucumbers, peeled and pulp removed (1 is processed with the rest of the ingredients and 1 is reserved to chop up by hand)
1 small yellow onion
1 red bell pepper, seeded
4-6 cloves garlic
3 TB red wine vinegar
1/3 C. olive oil
1 ½ tsp. salt

Cut vegetables into large chunks. Remove the pulp from the cucumbers by cutting in half lengthwise and then use a spoon to scoop out the pulp and seeds. In batches, puree vegetables (except for 1 cucumber) in a food processor until smooth. Add vinegar, then puree. While processor is on, add olive oil. This will turn the soup slightly orange. Chop by hand the reserved cucumber in to small pieces and add it to the soup. Serve chilled.

Mom’s Lemon Broiled Chicken

Chicken pieces
Mrs. Dash – Original
Lemon Juice – I use Minute Maid frozen lemon juice (in a black and yellow box in the freezer case)
Paprika
Sliced onion
Salt

Cover bottom of pan with sliced onions. Place chicken pieces on top of onion, skin side up. Pour lemon juice over chicken. Sprinkle chicken lightly with salt, then with Mrs. Dash and paprika. Broil until top browns (5-10 minutes) – watch carefully so it doesn’t burn. Turn chicken pieces over and season bottom same as top. Broil until bottom is brown. Cover with silver foil, leaving one side open a little. Turn oven down to 350 degrees and bake for 1-1 1/2 hours or until done.
