Plantain Stuffed Chicken With Tamarind Sauce

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Spyce  

MY version got a 4 but if the plantains had been riper, it would have been a 5. DO make sure your plantains are nice & ripe, yellow with black spots & mushy. Mine were barely ripe, too starchy, soaked up lots of extra butter but the stuffing... — Elmotoo Nov 24, 2009

Tamarind Rice With Sesame Seeds

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Andtototoo!  

This is good. Nobody was bowled over. Turns out dh doesn't like fenugreek. Was I supposed to use 2 cups cooked rice or cook 2 cups of rice? I used 2c cooked. I wonder if it wouldn't be so strongly flavored if I had used more? Aside from... — Elmotoo Nov 24, 2009

EXCELLENT! I actually cheated & 'grilled' with my cast iron skillet. Ah well. I still got a nice crunchy outside with a yummy spicy coating. We'll definitely make these again - perhaps next summer on the outside grill? lol. Made for My 3... — Elmotoo Nov 22, 2009

Masala Chai

Mmmmmm.....ahhhhhh.....this is delicious! The only 'problems' would be that proportionally, it's a lot of tea, which makes for a nice strong cuppa but can also lead to bitterness so I would recommend increasing the sugar. I made a big batch... — Elmotoo Nov 13, 2009

Twice-Baked Sweet Potatoes

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by barefootmommawv  

Welllll.... I give the recipe a 3 but the flavor a 5. It took over a hour to cook the sweet potatoes (they were big) plus I turned the heat up to 425F to hurry things along. The skins didn't like having their guts scooped out & shredded. But it... — Elmotoo Nov 11, 2009

How simple is this??!! I generally stay away from cream of crap concoctions but this one worked well for us. I was too lazy to use 1/2 a can of pumpkin so I just added an extra can of water. I tried it with the nutmeg & it is glorious. But... — Elmotoo Nov 11, 2009

Braised New Potatoes With Thyme

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by sexymommalucas  

Very tasty, indeed! I might have used more than 1.5 lbs potatoes because I used 1 can broth plus 2 or more cans water and 2tsp oil disappeared! I used dried thyme with great success. A very easy & simple dish that obviously multiplies well. I... — Elmotoo Nov 11, 2009

Baked Cheeses With Red Pepper Sauce

This is really nice! My slices didn't like being flattened - perhaps just slice them thinner? The sauce is delicious & it's all so easy. I think 1 egg would have been enough. The breading amount was spot on. I wish the crust had been... — Elmotoo Nov 2, 2009
