ALASKAN STEW



Alaskan Stew image

This dish isn't from Alaska and I don't have any idea why we called it that, we just did. My kids loved this soup and there were very few ways to get them to love vegetables, so I made it often. It's a little bit like Weight Watcher's soup, but with more potatoes. I add the brown sugar to take the acid out of the tomato sauce.

WHALE STEAKS



Whale Steaks image

This request and recipe originally appeared in the "You Asked for It" section of the February 1961 issue of _Gourmet_ magazine. It was reprised later in the online series "The Way We Cooked: Vintage _Gourmet_." **Q.** I could not locate any recipes for whale steak in your cookbooks. Miss Armida Formichelli Arlington, Massachusetts **A.** Mostly because we couldn't locate a whale—and still haven't. But if you find one, we have a recipe.

Number Of Ingredients 0

Steps:

  • To prepare a fresh whale steak for cooking, wash it in a solution of 1 generous tablespoon baking soda to 1 quart water and let it soak for 1 hour. Rinse the meat and marinate it for 2 hours in 3 parts water and 1 part vinegar, with a sliced raw onion. Cut the steak across the grain in slices less than 1/2 inch thick. Sprinkle the slices with lemon juice and pound them with a mallet to tenderize them. Sauté the steaks as you would sliced beefsteak.
  • To use frozen whale meat (and you are more likely to catch it frozen), thaw the meat entirely before washing and marinating it. Braise, stew, or sauté it as you would beef.
