Southwest Rice Salad

Posted by Geema  

This is a great dish. I, like Miss Annie, only had fresh jalapenos, but I didn't make any adjustment, I just cut them up and added them to the blender. I got compliments from everyone. — Folk Dancer Jun 22, 2003

Frijoles Negros (Cuban black beans)

Superb. I sliced some grape tomatoes in half and added them in with the garlic. I also added a dash of cayenne pepper while the dish was simmering. It was great. — Folk Dancer May 26, 2003

Moroccan Vegetable Stew

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Pets'R'us  

I've made this stew three times and everyone has loved it. I just noticed that the last time, I added about four times the normal amount of sliced almonds. This makes it a thicker stew, but it was still delicious. — Folk Dancer Apr 15, 2003

Asparagus Orzo Soup

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Malriah  

Very nice soup. I made it with purple asparagus (since it was available and I've never had it before), and really liked the flavor. The soup is easy to make, (cleaning the spinach is by far the most difficult part), so the next time I'll use... — Folk Dancer Apr 15, 2003

Tunisian Vegetable Stew

(6 people found this helpful) Posted by spatchcock  

A wonderful recipe. Be sure to look at step 3. I didn't exactly increase the spices, but I used heaping teaspoons instead of level teaspoons. This is a very simple and delicious dish. — Folk Dancer Mar 1, 2003

Fudgy Low-Fat Brownies

(3 people found this helpful) Posted by Derf  

These are great. I didn't have a low fat margarine, so I used butter instead. However, I used Egg-Beaters instead of an egg. It all worked wonderfully. The hardest part is waiting for the brownies to cool before cutting them (and being able to... — Folk Dancer Feb 16, 2003

Kachoomar Must Must

Another delicious and simple dish. I served it as an accompaniment to Cuban Black Beans (#8969) and they work very well together. — Folk Dancer Feb 12, 2003

Couscous Veggie Surprise

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Anu  

Mw wife and I dance every Saturday night and don't like to eat until after we get home. This dish made the perfect late night light meal. It is easy, quick and very tasty. — Folk Dancer Feb 2, 2003

Spicy Marinated Mixed Greens

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Missy Wombat  

My wife and I both liked this dish, although it probably won't be one of our favorites. It makes an interesting and different way to serve greens. I used a food processor and chopped the greens up very fine. It made a dish very similar to... — Folk Dancer Jan 30, 2003

Minestrone With Tofu

(3 people found this helpful) Posted by Linorama  

A wonderful recipe. I didn't have frozen tofu so I used unfrozen extra firm, and it worked fine. I also substituted small shells for the broken spaghetti. No problem. This makes a delicious, healthy soup. The only problem I had, is that it is so... — Folk Dancer Jan 30, 2003

Spanish Potato Hotpot

Posted by Angela Sara  

This makes a very good simple dish. Since the recipe did not specify, pressed the garlic and coarsely chopped the onion and potato. It should work just as well if you slice the onion and potato instead. — Folk Dancer Jan 28, 2003

Corn & Tofu Soup (Chinese style)

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by vikkie  

This is certainly a very healthy and easy soup to make, but its taste is a little bland for me. — Folk Dancer Jan 23, 2003

Lemon Muffins

(4 people found this helpful) Posted by Jen T  

This is a wonderful light muffin, and it is very forgiving. When I made it I made two mistakes, one involving the melted butter and cold milk, the other was reading the temperature incorrectly. It didn't matter, I adjusted the temperature after... — Folk Dancer Jan 22, 2003

Fusilli with No-Cook Fresh Tomato & Mozzarella Sauce

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by dahlia  

My only problem with this dish is that for me, the pine nuts overpowered the rest of the dish, so next time I will use less of them. Outside of that, it was wonderful. It tasted even better the second day, and it passed one of my favorite tests... — Folk Dancer Jan 19, 2003

Middle Eastern Macaroni 'N Garbanzos

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Manda  

When I tasted the recipe just after adding the tomatoes and beans, I thought that the tomato flavor was too strong. But after it had cooked for five minutes, the spice flavors were absorbed and the tomato flavor was just right for my taste. I'll... — Folk Dancer Jan 14, 2003

Minestra di Fagioli (Bean Soup)

(3 people found this helpful) Posted by Tish  

This turned out to be the best soup I have ever prepared. It takes a lot of chopping, but it's worth it. (Using a food processor simplified this considerably.) My experience with making soups is that they usually don't have enough spice and taste... — Folk Dancer Jan 14, 2003

Spaghetti with Sweet Red Pepper Sauce

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Moody  

If it were possible to give a recipe 6 stars I would have. This is the best recipe I have seen on Zaar. It is ridiculously simple to make and a wonderful change from the normal cream or tomato based sauces. — Folk Dancer Jan 9, 2003

Potatoes in Yogurt

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Anu  

This was good, but next time I will increase the amount of potatoes and decrease the water. Using the amounts listed in the recipe gave me almost a soup and the flavors seemed to be diluted. We coped, however, by sopping up the extra juices with... — Folk Dancer Jan 9, 2003

My wife and I like greens, so we are always looking for new recipes for them, and this one worked very well. It is easy to make, and if you like garlic, you will enjoy this dish. — Folk Dancer Jan 9, 2003

Pear Crisp

(4 people found this helpful) Posted by Steve_G  

This was totally delicious and easy to make. For some reason, the pears did not give me as much liquid as I needed, so I added some wine (Gewurtztraminer), and the result was excellent. — Folk Dancer Jan 8, 2003
