But when temperatures soar and you really don't want to spend time in the kitchen, how do you pre- pare a lunch to tempt heat-jad- ed appetites? I checked out an independent survey by Del Monte, one of the world's leading processors of fruits and vegetables. It found that in order to plan ahead and enjoy free time, people want "re- ality recipes"; that is, real life calls for easy recipes with real family taste appeal and real nu- trition: * Simple ingredients — items found in your pantry or in the av- erage grocery store; * Minimal preparation, short preparation and cooking time; * Canned and frozen items — convenient, high quality, good taste and maximum nutrition. All of these criteria are right on target for beat-the-heat, do- ahead dishes that can be pulled from the refrigerator at the last minute. Don't feel guilty if you don't want to take the time to peel, wash and dice seasonal fruits and vegetables. Much market pro- duce arrives wet and wilted and quickly deteriorates if not sold immediately; nutrition content may be almost nil depending on how long it has been "refreshed." But surprising results have emerged, according to a recent comparative nutritional analysis conducted by the University of Illinois; canned fruits and veg- etables are as nutritious as their fresh and frozen counterparts when prepared for the table. For canning, fruits and vegetables usually are picked and packed the same day so that the canning process locks in all the nutrients and natural taste. In addition, these processed foods offer end- less variety and year-round avail- ability at stable prices. Canned produce pares prepa- ration time, aromatics such as pre-chopped onions and chives are available frozen and taste- tingling sauces and dressings such as teriyaki and vinaigrettes all help to make this menu a breeze. Each dish may be pre- pared the day before and refrig- erated until ready to serve. The perfect answer for a delicious, eclectic Shabbat summer lun- cheon or light supper. p CHILI-RUBBED CHICKEN (MEAT) 2 tablespoons lemon juice 2 tablespoons salad mustard 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 tablespoon chili powder 4 (5 to 6 ounces each) boneless, skinless chicken breast halves In a bowl, mix the lemon juice, mustard, oil and chili powder.
