Coburg Dilled Beet Salad
Gourmet Archives
1 2/3 pounds beets
1 tablespoon salt
3/4 cup tarragon wine vinegar
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon sugar
4 cloves
1 teaspoon bruised juniper berries
1 teaspoon peppercorns
3 sprigs of dill
1 bay leaf
Snipped fresh dill
Scrub and trim the beets, leaving the roots and 1/2 inch of
the tops
attached, and reserve the beet greens for another use.
In a
saucepan brings 3 quarts water to boil, and add the beets and the
salt.

boil the dressing for

dressing.
Let the salad cool and sprinkle it with snipped fresh dill. Serves
4.
Coburg
Potato Salad
Gourmet Archives
This
recipe definitely produces the closest facsimile to what I have come to
regard as “authentic” German potato salad, the kind my former in-laws
make,
the kind I make, and dearly love….. And yes, feel free to add crisp
crumbled
bacon at the very end if you like.
I often do. Sugar in
the
dressing? Well, just
a
tad perhaps!
And
please, use
the very best, very freshest potatoes you
can find. That
will make all
the
difference...
2
1/2 pounds boiling potatoes
(such as red new potatoes, that will hold
their
shape when cooked)
1 cup hot brown stock [or beef broth]
2/3 cup minced onion
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
Salt and pepper to taste
1/3 cup snipped fresh chives
Minced fresh parsley
In
a large saucepan combine the potatoes
with enough salted cold water
to cover them by 2 inches, bring the water
to a boil and simmer the
potatoes, covered, for 20 to 25 minutes, or until
they are just tender.
Drain
the potatoes, return them to the pan, and steam them, covered,
over
moderate
heat, shaking the pan for 1 minute or until they are dry.
Let the potatoes
cool until they can be handled, peel them, and
slice
them thin.
In
a heatproof bowl combine the stock or beef broth, onion, vegetable
oil,
wine vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste.
In
a large heatproof salad bowl put the potatoes, pour the dressing
over
them, and toss salad gently. Sprinkle
salad with 1/3 cup snipped
fresh
chives and some fresh minced parsley. Serves 4.
Coburg Wilted Lettuce and Bacon Salad
Gourmet Archives
1 large head Romaine lettuce
1 large garlic clove, halved
1 onion, minced
3 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
or cider vinegar
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon snipped fresh dill
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 pound lean sliced bacon, chopped fine
Trim the Romaine and cut it crosswise into 1 1/2-inch
sections. Separate
the leaves, wash them, and spin them dry. Rub a wooden
salad bowl with
the cut sides of the garlic clove and add the Romaine and
the onion.
In a small bowl combine the vinegar, the vegetable oil, the
snipped fresh
dill, and salt and pepper to taste. Pour the dressing over
the lettuce and
onion
and toss the salad.
In a heavy skillet cook the bacon over moderate heat,
stirring, until crisp. Drizzle it and the fat over the salad. Toss and serve
immediately.
Serves 4 to 6.
