-dried 1 c Low-fat yogurt

3 Cloves garlic, minced

1 tb Minced, peeled ginger root

1 tb Ground cumin

1 tb Paprika

1 1/2 ts Salt

The yogurt marinade in this dish locks in moisture and lends a complementary spicy flavor. The duck is skinned before cooking to reduce fat. With a sharp knife or poultry shears, remove backbone and wing tips from duck and cut the duck into 4 serving pieces. Cut away the skin and fat. In a shallow, non aluminum dish, mix together yogurt, garlic, ginger, cumin, paprika, 1 tsp. salt, cardamom and cayenne pepper. Add the duck pieces, turning to coat well and marinate, covered, in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours or up to 24 hours, turning occasionally. About 1/2 hour before serving, in a medium-sized saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add onions and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, or until translucent and lightly browned. Rinse lentils well and add them to the saucepan with turmeric, remaining 1/2 tsp. salt, black pepper and 2 1/2 cups water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 15 to 20 minutes, or just until lentils are tender. Cover and set aside. Meanwhile, prepare a charcoal grill or preheat the broiler. Remove the duck from the marinade (reserve marinade) and grill on a lightly oiled rack or broil on a rack set over a foil-lined baking sheet. Grill or broil for 5 to 7 minutes on one side, or until browned. Turn, baste once with reserved

marinade and discard marinade. Cook 8 to 10 minutes longer, or until juices run clear when pierced with a fork. just before serving, briefly reheat the lentils and serve with the duck. 451 CALORIES PER SERVING: 44 G PROTEIN, 15 G FAT, 35 G CARBOHYDRATE; 323 MG

1 lg Chicken breast

8 Dried Nami black mushrooms

2 Green onions

8 Water chestnuts

1 Chinese sausage (opt)

----------------------------------MARINADE---------------------------------- 2 tb Dry sherry

1 tb Cornstarch

2 Slices ginger root/minced

1 ts Sesame oil

2 tb Thin soy sauce

2 Cloves garlic, minced

1/2 ts Sugar

Preparation: Soak dried mushrooms in hot water for 1/2 hour or until soft. Remove stems; thinly slice caps. Debone chicken; slice into 1/2" thick, quarter-size coins; place pieces in shallow, heat-proof dish. Add marinade ingredients to chicken; marinate for at least 30 minutes. Slice water chestnuts in thin circles. Cut green onions on bias into 1" sections. There are 2 varieties of "Cantonese-style" Chinese semi-dried sausage available in Chinese markets: duck liver & sweet pork meat. Either will do for this dish. Cut sausage on bias into 1/8" thick slices. Marinade is not used with sausage. Steaming: Mix sliced mushrooms & water chestnuts with chicken. If desired, add sausage. Steam for 20 minutes. If using deep bowl, stir chicken after 10 minutes to make certain bottom pieces get cooked. Just before serving,

add green onions. Serve immediately, since cornstarch will become gummy if dish is allowed to cool. HINT: If using metal steamer, stretch dish towel under steamer cover, to prevent build-up of condensed steam in dish.
