Food on the Table: Cucumbers G" Grilling
Chef Heather Hunsaker
foodonthetable.com
Looking for a refreshing
way to "cool off" this summer?
Eat cucumbers! Cucumbers
have extremely high water
content that gives them a
crisp, cool, refreshing taste.
Originally from southern
• Asia, cucumbers are a mem-
ber of the gourd family, along
with melons, squash and
pumpkins. Although cucum-
bers are available year-
round, they are at their peak
from May to September.
Even though cucumbers
are 90 percent water, they are
an excellent source of vita-
mins K and C, magnesium
and potassium. They are low
in sodium and one medium
cucumber is only 40 calories.
There are a wide variety of
cucumbers, which vary in
size, shape and color. Cucum-
bers are grown to be either
eaten fresh or to be pickled.
Those to be eaten fresh are
known as slicing cucumbers,
or Persian cucumbers. They
are long, crispy and thin and
have a light to medium green
color. Smaller sized cucum-
bers, known as gherkins or
American dills, are grown to
make pickles.
When selecting a cucumber
to purchase, look for those
that are firm, round at the
edges and are medium to dark
green. Generally, thinner cu-
cumbers will have fewer seeds
than their thicker counter-
parts. Avoid any cucumbers
that are yellow in color or are
bruised and wrinkled.
To keep cucumbers their
freshest, they should be
stored in the refrigerator,
where they will stay fresh for
several days. To freeze, cu-
cumbers should be chopped
and tossed in a small amount
of vinegar and then frozen. If
frozen properly, cucumbers
will keep for three to four
• months.
Cucumbers can be enjoyed
in a variety of ways. Add
them to a salad, a cold re-
freshing gazpacho soup or
simply eat them with some
salt and pepper. But next
time try them in this Cool
Cucumber Salad.

From the grill
Summer barbecues are a
fun way to celebrate many
different occasions. If proper
safety measures are not fol-
lowed, however, then that
fun day of grilling can come
to a quick end. Here are some
important grilling safety tips
to follow:
--When using a grill be
sure and place it on a flat sur-
face, away from fences,
plants, overhangs, deck rail-
ings and buildings. Also,
make sure to position the
grill in a well-ventilated area.
--Light charcoal carefully.
Avoid pouring lighter fluid
directly onto hot coals be-
cause flames could travel up
the stream of fluid and cause
a fire. Also never use gaso-
line to light a charcoal fire
due to the risk of an explo-
sion.
--When putting out hot
coals, place the cover on the
grill and close vents. Allow
the coals to burn out com-
pletely, approximately 36 to
48 hours and then dispose of
coals properly.
--Kabobs are a fun and im-
pressive way to serve food to
your guests and also make it
easier to cook smaller pieces
of meat. If using metal skew-
ers, be careful not to touch
them directly off the grill, as
the metal will be hot. When
using bamboo or wooden
skewers be sure to always
soak them for at least 20 to 30
minutes before using them,
thus preventing them from
charring or burning while
cooking with them.
--Food safety is of utmost
importance when grilling.
Use a meat thermometer to
ensure that meat is cooked to
the proper temperature. Use
clean plates, cutting boards
and utensils when handling
cooked food as opposed to
raw. Try to store food at prop-
er temperatures and discard
any food after sitting out in
the sun and in high tempera-
tures for more than one hour.
Looking for an easy but
tasty grilled chicken recipe
that the whole family will
love? Try this Honey Mus-
tard Grilled Chicken.
Honey Mustard Grilled Chicken
Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 20 minutes
Servings: 4
1/3 cup Dijon mustard
114 cup honey
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon steak sauce
4 boneless skinless chicken
breast halves
Preheat the grill for medium
heat.
In a shallow bowl, mix the
mustard, honey, mayonnaise
and steak sauce. Set aside a
small amount of the honey
mustard sauce for basting,
and dip the chicken into the
remaining sauce to coat.
Lightly oil the grill grate. Grill
chicken over indirect heat for
18 to 20 minutes, turning
occasionally, or until juices run
clear. Baste occasionally with
the reserve.
