Great Grandma's "Cheeckun Zoop"
Contributed by Jezebel
Stock Ingredients:
- 1 Cheeckun, skinned
- 1 Cup Chopped Onion
- 1 Cup Chopped Carrot
- 1/2 Cup Chopped Celery
- 1 Pinch of Dried Thyme
- 1/2 Bay leaf
- 1 Teaspoon Salt
- 3 1/2 Quarts Water
Stock Directions
Cut the cheeckun up if you like, to speed up cooking. I use skinless
boneless chicken. Otherwise, you have to strain out the bones. Throw
everything into a stock pot, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and
simmer covered. Cook until cheeckun is done. Taste, and add more salt
if necessary.
The Special Part Ingredients
- 4 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 8 Cloves Garlic (more if you like)
- 1 Tablespoon Ground Cumin
- Thick Slices of Bread
The Special Part Directions
In a deep saucepan saute the cloves until light golden brown. Add the
cumin and stir for about a minute. Remove garlic from pan, and toast
the bread on both sides. Put a slice of toasted bread into each
serving bowl.
Chop the garlic, add it and some stock to the saucepan. Let simmer for
about five minutes. Return to stock pot and stir. Serve over the
bread.
Get someone else to clean the keechun ;-P .
