Pure Tzatziki Sauce of the Gods

Fri, 07 Nov 2008 15:35:18 -0500

I guess it has been almost 20 years since I worked at Zorba's restaurant in Fort Worth. Zorba's had the BEST gyros I have ever had. Zorba's in the North Hills Mall is gone now. The North Hills Mall is even gone now. But I think I have a little treasure from the past that you are going to love. Gyros that you get at a stand or restaurant usually have the same basic ingredients. Pita bread, gyro meat (probably a cone from Kronos), onions, and tomatoes. This is all turned into an unbelievable delicacy with a strange condiment called "tzatziki sauce." There are lots of tzatziki sauce recipes on the Internet. But they don't quite match the creaminess of the tzatziki from Zorba's. I also see tzatziki sauce recipes with dill, mint, lemon juice, and other strange things in them. None of that was in Zorba's tzatziki. Now, I have to admit that they never showed me how to make the tzatziki. That was all done by Tula in the back kitchen. Tzatziki was a complete mystery to me the whole time I worked there. But I did happen to see the two things that made their tzatziki so special. I remembered that one of the ingredients was sour cream. Another one of the ingredients was something that sounded similar to sour cream, but it was different. It was something I had never heard of before. Years later, I kept thinking "what was that other ingredient? Sour...something?" Now that we have the Internet, I am able to put together the last piece of the puzzle. It was not "sour...something." It was "something...cream." It was, in fact, yogurt cream. Now I can give you the basic ingredients so that you can make this simple and extraordinary tzatziki sauce. -- posted by earthpet

Taramasalata

Thu, 13 Nov 2008 01:01:59 -0500

From "Hip Dips" this one is slightly different from the other four posted on Zaar. Smoked fish roe can usually be found in the larger supermarkets but if you can't find it then use regular fish roe and add 1/4 tsp liquid smoke. Needs no less than 1 hour refrigeration time but best overnight. -- posted by Julie B's Hive

On the Cheap Shrimp Dip

Thu, 13 Nov 2008 18:15:10 -0500

I found this recipe on a can of Campbells Cream of Shrimp Soup many many years ago. If you would like to add extra shrimp I guess it might add a little extra taste but it is not necessary. It is very quick to put together and gives a nice presentation with its light pink color. -- posted by Bonnie Young

Smoked Salmon Dip

Wed, 03 Dec 2008 22:48:26 -0500

My DH came up with this recipe after much trial and error. This is always a HUGE hit with family and friends. He cooks fresh salmon on the smoker, which makes all the difference in the world. You could also use canned salmon, but I doubt it would be as good. This is a toss as you go recipe, so the measurements aren't exact. We serve it with plain saltine crackers and a slice of canned jalapeno pepper on top. Prep time does not include time to cook the salmon. Cooking time includes chilling time. Yummy! -- posted by FCR Gal

Eggplant (Or Aubergine) Dip

Mon, 22 Dec 2008 19:41:35 -0500

NOT your classic baba ghanoosh but nonetheless a very tasty eggplant dip which I've adapted from a recipe in 'The Australian Women's Weekly's TAPAS antipasto mezze'. This dip tastes best if refrigerated overnight. The overnight refrigeration time has not been included in the cooking or preparation times. Because vegetable sizes will inevitably be variable, add the olive oil sparingly until you can see how much you need to achieve the right consistency. -- posted by bluemoon downunder

A recipe for Provence's famous olive pate - perfect for serving with crudites or as a relish for grilled fish. Use either green or black olives, but whatever you do, don't use pre-pitted olives. Get good quality olives and pit them yourself. You need about 8oz pitted weight. Serve the pate on crisp toasts, grilled potatoes, as a dip with young vegetables or on fish fillets or grilled meat.

One of my husbands co-workers made this for us one time. We loved it so much we got the recipe from her. It is a little time consuming but well worth the work. Using a Vidalia Chop Wizard cuts down a lot on prep time. If you place the tomatoes in boiling water for about 10 seconds they will peel very easy. -- posted by Steph Doll

Mediterranean Dip

Mon, 02 Feb 2009 01:55:52 -0500

This is a Trader Joe recipe. It is such a delicious dip! I took it to a party and everyone wanted a copy of the recipe. The recipe suggests layering the ingredients into a pie plate or something sized similar. I made the mistake of thinking that was too big for the dip and used a smaller serving dish. By the time I was finished layering the ingredients, it was too full! I served this dip with pita crackers from Trader Joes, but you could use your own favorite dippers. This recipe looks unusual but it is knock out. -- posted by LifeIsGood

Auld Alliance: Potted French Blue Cheese and Scotch Whisky Pate

Sun, 08 Mar 2009 17:36:45 -0400

The Auld Alliance is the historic friendship between Scotland and France, as well as a traditional cheese and whisky recipe. Here is a modern version of my Scottish grandmother's recipe for Auld Alliance. I have used Scotch whisky and a lighter French blue cheese, Fourme d'Ambert, instead of the usual Roquefort, which I find very salty. This makes a fabulous appetiser or an alternative cheese course. Choose a blue cheese and Scotch whisky of your choice; blends are better than malts in this recipe. A Potted History! Scotlands most famous connection with Europe was the Auld Alliance with France. First agreed in 1295/6 the Auld Alliance was built on Scotland and Frances shared need to curtail English expansion. Primarily it was a military and diplomatic alliance but for most of the population, it brought tangible benefits through pay as mercenaries in Frances armies and the pick of finest French wines! The preparation time includes the chilling time. -- posted by French Tart

Eggplant Onion Dip

Fri, 10 Apr 2009 14:04:59 -0400

Adapted from a recipe in Jean Paré's 'Company's Coming: dip, dunk & dab, party dips and spreads'. This recipe has been descibed as "an update of baba ghanouj... sweetened with caramelised onions (and served) with pita bread chips or vegetables". I learnt also from this book that 'baba ghanouj' means 'indulged father' in Arabic! Rather patriarchal for 2009! Perhaps that's why Jean Paré has re-named this 'eggplant onion dip' - bland and politically correct! I decided to stay with this name but if anyone knows the Arabic for 'eggplant onion dip', I'll happily rename it. The cooking time includes one hour chilling time. -- posted by bluemoon downunder

Low calorie, fat free vegan recipe from Whole Foods; it is highly rated on their website. They suggest serving it atop grilled fish but I think it would also be great with chicken or pork tenderloin. You can make it up to 4 hours ahead of serving, just keep it in the refrigerator. I think mango and a splash of OJ would be a great addition to this recipe as well! NOTE: I just made this recipe and I added the OJ for a touch of sweetness and added a couple drops of jalapeno sauce for more kick. I also didn't care for the mint, so I changed that to optional. . .the basil was nice I thought. -- posted by JanuaryBride

Shellie's Chunky Homemade Guacamole

Sun, 19 Jul 2009 13:15:25 -0400

This is a recipe for guacamole that I created after discovering that I actually like guacamole after 42 years! Since then, I have been making it at least once a week without fail. I am addicted! I love my recipe because I like my guacamole with some texture, spicy, and with some cilantro and lime flavors. It doesn't take long at all and I don't measure out my ingredients, so you will just have to make yours to suit your own taste. The number of avacadoes is tricky...the sizes of them vary greatly and it also depends on how much you want to make. You can add more jalapeno to make it spicier, or leave some out to make it milder. Enjoy! -- posted by Chef #1307787

Boudro's Famous Guacamole- Riverwalk San Antonio

Thu, 31 Dec 2009 03:01:38 -0500

Boudro's is a Texas Bistro on the Riverwalk in San Antonio. They wheel out a cart and make this guacamole fresh at your table. It is the best I have ever had. You can skip the roasting of the tomato and peppers if you would like to save time and it still tastes great. I also seem to remember them adding chopped garlic when we were there because I think the waitor joked about it, but it was not listed in the recipe...I always add a couple of cloves. -- posted by PleasantNancy

Southwestern Pimento Cheese

Sat, 02 Jan 2010 10:31:32 -0500

I hate the mushy store bought style of pimento cheese. I prefer it a little drier than the traditional one so I came up with this. You can add more mayo to moisten if you want. This recipe should have texture so don't over mix everything. Serve with crackers or tortilla chips. We like this spicy and usually add more heat. -- posted by Chef #1504827

If you are here you know how delicious OG's spinach artichoke dip is! Well, you are in luck, this takes that recipe and multiplies it by love. Love, of course is what takes food from ok, to "more please and can I get the recipe?!" I came up with this recipe after a lot of trial and error, and many outings to olive garden for comparison. It's a huge hit any time I make it, and requested at potlucks. -- posted by Got Sauce?

My friend Hannah and her mom used to make this a lot when we went over to their house. It sounds weird, but it is soooo good! I always ate way too much. Serve with tortilla chips or really any chips. -- posted by Marmaduke2

Smoked Salmon Spread With Pears and Horseradish

Fri, 05 Feb 2010 08:38:15 -0500

This is an Austrian version of a smoked salmon spread. Horseradish is very popular in Austria and is used in many dips and sauces. The salmon used in this dish is not Lox, this is slowly smoked Alaskan Sockey and is flaked rather than cut. Enjoy it with some crusty Ciabatta bread and a glass of fruity white wine. -- posted by gemini08
