Frozen Garden Tomatoes for Winter Soups and Sauces

Tue, 01 Sep 2009 13:21:14 -0400

This is absolutely the easiest way to preserve all those tomatoes from your garden. You don't even need to peel them before freezing. Family friends in Northern Ontario used to do this but this method was found in Chatelaine Food Express Quickies. The servings depend on how many tomatoes you're freezing. Preparation time also depends on how many tomatoes you intend on freezing. -- posted by Dreamer in Ontario

Magic Fresh Tomato Spaghetti, Pasta or Pizza Sauce

Tue, 01 Sep 2009 13:32:40 -0400

Check out this trick - a whole, unpeeled tomato goes in the pot, and a tasty, seed-free, peel-free tomato sauce comes out! Okay, well, maybe it's not really magic, but it's a great trick to save you from having to peel, chop, and de-seed all those tomatoes (which is the reason I almost never made sauce from my garden tomatoes until now). We'll take care of the peels and seeds with a blender/food processor and a fine mesh strainer. Yes, a couple of extra things to clean, but it's still faster than all that peeling and chopping! Also, because the peels are cooked in the sauce, you preserve more of the nutrients in them. This is a highly customizable recipe (really more a framework than anything else) - make it smooth or chunky, with meat or vegetarian, regular or low-sodium, or even use it to hide a few extra veggies (a tip for you parents of picky children - you can make them completely undetectable). The quantities are inexact because there's so much variation in the size, taste and texture of fresh tomatoes, and anything else you add will change the flavor. So you really have to adjust the seasonings and other ingredients to compensate. This is part of the art of making tomato sauce, but don't be intimidated! Just add a little bit at a time until it tastes right to you, remembering the axiom: "You can always put more in, but you can't take it back out." Unless you have a real magic wand, of course. :) -- posted by ItalianMama

Fresh Tomato Lasagna

Thu, 03 Sep 2009 00:29:58 -0400

This is from the September 2008 Homemakers magazine; takes advantage of all the fresh local tomatoes available at the end of the summer. The original recipe calls for a total of 1/3 cup of oil which seemed like a lot; I usually use about 3 tablespoons. I also substituted lower fat ricotta and mozzarella cheese and reduced the salt and the flavours weren't compromised. Posted the recipe as it appears orginally, so I don't lose it. -- posted by Kirstenht

Smoky, Spicy Tomatillo Salsa Verde Aka Canned Green Hell!

Tue, 08 Sep 2009 13:07:25 -0400

I wanted to preserve my Recipe #97531 and came up with this. Adding the lemon, lime juice and vinegar for acidity to preserve the salsa. Green tomatoes can be used in place or along with the tomatillos. After opening the canned salsa you can drain some of the liquid so not to watery. Do NOT thicken with flour or cornstarch. FYI- don't like heat replace the hot chili's with bell pepper that you roasted. -- posted by ~Rita~

Garden fresh vegetables and herbs, with an option for the carnivore in your life, lightly sauteed, briefly stewed, and full of summery flavor! This recipe was inspired by the movie, "Julie and Julia." I am a vegetarian that can not have dairy, so I was forced to find an alternative to Julia Childs' amazing french cooking demonstrated in the movie. -- posted by Chef #713330

This is for those who've never had fried green tomatoes and/or may be a little intimidated at the thought of preparing them.This recipe is super easy, and super quick. I've had FGT that were a little grainy in texture or burned due to added sugar. These are much better with a delicate, crispy coating that literally melts in your mouth.

Creamy Cucumber Salad Dressing

Wed, 30 Sep 2009 15:37:20 -0400

Delicious dairy-free version of cucumber dressing. I liked to use 2 small cucumbers, rather than 1 large because of the seeds. IF using a large or non-organic cucumber, make sure there is no wax on the peel, and scrap some of the seeds out! For a thicker, creamier dressing add more cashews and less water; for a thinner, lighter dressing add more water and fewer nuts. -- posted by Kozmic Blues

California Salad (Tomato, Cucumber and Onions)

Wed, 23 Dec 2009 14:38:12 -0500

Simple, refreshing and delicious! Juicy tomatoes, crisp cucumbers and crunchy onion combine with Miracle Whip to make an unbelievably delicious salad! You will be surprised and delighted...the juice from the tomatoes combines so well with the Miracle Whip, you'll never know that Miracle Whip is in it once the flavors have combined. You may be tempted to add something to it, it seems too simple to be good, but try it like this first, I guarantee you'll like it! I make it often for potlucks and BBQ's and people are always amazed at the simplicity of this recipe. Family legend is that relatives from California always made this salad and so it was dubbed 'California Salad'. Can easily be made low/non-fat, but I prefer the regular version. It is also great as a 'relish' on grilled meats, especially brats. This is also a very 'forgiving' recipe...I never measure anything, just throw it together. Just remember the veggie ratio is 1:1:1 and you'll do fine! **Unless you live in a warm climate and can grow or get locally grown tomatoes all year long, don't bother making this in the winter! Fresh, ripe juicy tomatoes are the key to making this salad** Easily doubled or tripled, but yield will vary depending on size of the vegetables. "Cooking time" is refrigerator time! -- posted by The Frugal Cheflady

Dalmatian Salted Anchovy Salad

Tue, 29 Dec 2009 01:06:18 -0500

This meal is very old, probably from Greek and Roman times 2000 years ago. We in Croatia are very lucky because we can buy salted anchovies from direct producers who make these salted anchovies the same way old Romans did. And I must say, these home made salted anchovies are much, much better than grocery-stores one. Beside anchovy we also salt srdela a.k.a. sardine. Srdela is heavier to eat, and more cleaning work. It is very salty meal and a person should not eat more than three salted anchovies per day (thats 6 fillets). This is how we prepare this meal in Dalmatia. -- posted by nitko

Summer Vegetable Gratin

Tue, 05 Jan 2010 11:46:36 -0500

While this recipe calls for summer vegetables, my brother and SIL prepared it for Christmas dinner 2009 and I loved it. Good as a vegetarian main dish or a side. It's not quite the same as other vegetable gratins already on RecipeZaar. Personally, I would make this with less olive oil, the amount of which I specified in the ingredients, but you can use the original amount if you prefer (just convert teaspoons to tablespoons). This can also be made ahead after assembly and before baking. Just pre-heat the oven. Try to buy the zucchini and squash of roughly the same diameter. I might serve this with bread to soak up the juices. To make this vegan, omit the parmesan cheese. They found this recipe on America's TV test kitchen. -- posted by Kumquat the Cat's friend

Italian Pasta Salad

Tue, 05 Jan 2010 11:49:15 -0500

This is a great tasting pasta salad that doesn't have alot of liquid dressing so its great to take to potlucks and picnics where your eating on paper plates. Its great if you let it set but not to bad served right away either. I have also added cubed chicken to this and it's pretty tasty -- posted by Ceezie

Red Pepper Vichyssoise

Sat, 23 Jan 2010 23:31:30 -0500

This is a lovely soup to serve in the summertime, as it is served chilled. If you prefer, you can substitute sour cream for the creme fraiche. To make creme fraiche, just combine 1 cup of whipping cream with 2 tbsp of buttermilk. Once combined, cover and let stand at room temperature for 8 hours. This will make a cup of creme fraiche. Prep and cooking time does not include the chill time! -- posted by breezermom

Barbecue /Bbq Mushroom and Green Bean Salad

Thu, 28 Jan 2010 09:45:47 -0500

This salad serves 8 as a side dish & is delish! It tastes of earthy goodness. The photo you see is of half the recipe + extra spinach. I prepared the mushrooms in a frying pan for convenience' sake and served the salad with a baked potato. Next time, I think we'll add some garlic to the marinade. -- posted by Rhiannon&Matt.gauci

Spicy Coleslaw

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 10:04:22 -0500

I am a single woman living on my own. When I come home from work the last thing I want to do is slave over a hot stove or spend hours making dinner. I need quick and easy options. I try to utilize as many "convenience" items as I can in order to help spend less time in the kitchen and more time relaxing. I like to keep the condiments from takeout and fast food places if I think I can use them for something else. I like to experiement with recipes and make them simple. This has to be one of the easiest recipes I make. The only thing that might be a problem for some people who want to make it, is you need to be near a Chick-fil-a. I use their spicy dressing. I don't normally like typical coleslaw dressing, so this is my little spin on it. I also like to double and even triple the recipe up for family bbq's and potlucks at work. Feel free to add your own items that you like....diced red onion, julienned bell peppers, etc. That's what is so great about recipes, you can make them your own. Enjoy! -- posted by Chef #188403
