Szechuan Peanut Sauce * Exported from Mastercook *

Tue, 30 Dec 2008 22:53:53 -0500

After many years of searching for and trying many, many other recipes, this remains my favorite spicy peanut sauce. My favorite way to serve it is as a dipping sauce for long, fresh green beans, an idea I picked up from a caterer in Gainesville, FL (if I could remember her name, I'd give her credit). Many years ago, I had an edition of MasterCook recipe management software. As technology changed, my software became out-of-date and unusable, but I didn't replace it because I saw the benefit of web-based software such as RecipeZaar (why try to manage recipes all by yourself when you can be part of a community and do it together). After years without this recipe (I never could find where I wrote it down or printed it), I tracked it down in Google. I've added it to RecipeZaar to keep for myself and share with others. The recipe is exactly how I found it, including the name, ingredients, directions, and the notes (see below). The only additional notes I would suggest are: add the chili oil one teaspoon at a time, tasting in between, until you reach your desired level of spiciness; and keep the sauce thoroughly chilled or heated, it will separate at room temperature. Enjoy! ORIGINAL NOTES Recipe By: Jo Anne Merrill Use about 1 tablespoon of sauce per serving of chicken or fish. *Cilantro is usually sold in small bunches. You will need only about 1/3 of an average bunch or 2-3 of the stems with leaves attached. It may also be sold as coriander or Chinese parsley. -- posted by lchelini

Ginger-Sesame Tofu Sauce by Deborah Madison

Thu, 01 Jan 2009 15:06:22 -0500

Entered for safe-keeping, requesting my vegetarian friends to test this for me. From "This Can't Be Tofu!" by Deborah Madison. This has the texture of a thin mayonnaise, and can be drizzled on cubes of fresh tofu, over romaine salad or cole slaw, or over grilled fish or chicken (if you aren't vegetarian). Over sauteed vegetables this can add an unexpected accent. -- posted by KateL

Hararat Version 1 - Libyan Spice Blend

Thu, 29 Jan 2009 14:06:26 -0500

This is a common seasoning in Libya. I was surprised that there isn't a recipe for it on zaar (though it could have another name...I'm certainly no expert). I found this recipe online (http://www.celtnet.org.uk/recipes/miscellaneous/fetch-recipe.php?rid=misc-hararat). I must admit that I have never made this before - and that this particular recipe is a bit annoying as you have to grind everything in a spice/coffee grinder or I suppose a mortar and pestle if you're ambitious. I am posting a different version that uses pre-ground spices. Feel free to multiply this recipe to make any amount you wish. -- posted by Georgiapea

Mama's Awesome Garlic Mayo!

Sat, 31 Jan 2009 12:56:10 -0500

This is my recipe for our family favourite garlic mayo. It is very simple & can be made in just a few minutes. If you store it in an airtight container in the fridge, it will keep well for at least a week. This mayo goes extremely well with chicken, as a dip for chips & veggies, in sandwiches, mixed into a salad, stuffed vine / grape leaves etc. My family & friends go crazy for this & whenever I make it I have to take them a tub of it! (If you omit the sumac, this also tastes just like the garlic mayo in Bradford's Shimla Restaurant) I have specified a salmonella vaccinated egg - in the UK they come with the red Lion stamp on - as you need to be careful with raw egg. -- posted by Um Safia

Best Lebanese Garlic Sauce (By Kay)

Thu, 12 Feb 2009 17:38:21 -0500

Last fall when leaving the U.S. to return home, we stopped-over in Minneapolis for a family mini-reunion w/my Aunt, Uncle, their 7 children + various grandchildren I had not seen in 18+ yrs or even met b4. They are so lucky to all still live in the same city, but talk about the real *Luck of the Irish* - Mike (my cousin) brought his Lebanese heritage wife *Kay* into our Irish family & substantially raised the level of the cooking bar (already set pretty high). Kay is a great cook & made the the most wonderful Lebanese meal for us that included hummus, stuffed grape leaves, marinated + grilled lamb/chicken skewers & the most incredible garlic sauce I have ever tasted (just to mention a few). Thank goodness the garlic sauce was not a recipe shrouded in generations of secrecy because I had to have it to share w/you. *Enjoy* ! (See Notes Below) -- posted by twissis

Last week I used the sauce combined with white wine and chicken broth to deglaze the pan after searing some pork tenderloin medallions.

Low Fat Vinaigrette With Yogurt or Tomato or Avocado Variations

Tue, 17 Mar 2009 19:29:19 -0400

Entered for safe-keeping. From Martha Rose Shulman's "Fast Vegetarian Feasts", received in February 2009 Cookbook Swap. A little bit of oil can go a long way. Instead of whisking, use a blender to make a fairly thick, emulsified mixture. You can vary this with any herbs or spices you wish (the 2-3 teaspoons of fresh herbs can be any combination you prefer, suggested herbs are listed). The author recommends the yogurt variation when "you want to eat nothing but salads, but have to work in protein." I recommend the Avocado variation during the maintenance phase of WW, because the avocado has healthy fat and aids digestion if your calories permit. See Recipe #361079 #361079 for a tasty broth variation. -- posted by KateL

Lemon Lime Hummus

Thu, 16 Apr 2009 01:51:06 -0400

This was the first hummus I made when I got my new food processor, and I'm never buying it at the store again! I got the recipe from PracticalYoga.tv and followed it exactly. I love the very fresh and bright flavors from the citrus fruits and how well the spices complement them. I eat it as a healthy snack on carrot and celery sticks. The original recipe notes: "If you are going to use the zest of a citrus fruit it is important that you buy organic, since the outside peel houses most of the pesticides." Note: Original recipe makes quite a lot. I usually halve the recipe for a week's worth of hummus for two. -- posted by ATouchofZing

Chip Shop Curry Sauce

Fri, 24 Apr 2009 10:27:19 -0400

In the Northern part of England it is very common to go to a fish and chips shop and order chips with curry sauce. The curry sauce you get in chip shops is different from the sort you would get on an actual curry at an Indian takeaway. It tends to be a bit sweeter and considerably more mild in spicy heat. People eat it either poured all over their chips (ie steak fries) of in a pot on the side where they dip their chips. I found this version on a blog and it sounds very close to the type I enjoy. -- posted by Sarah_Jayne

Authentic Thai Red Curry Paste

Fri, 08 May 2009 02:30:39 -0400

I learned to make this at a Thai cooking school attached to a well-known Australian Thai Restaurant. As a guide, 1/2 a cup of the paste, 1 1/2 cups of coconut cream, 2 tablespoons of palm sugar and 3 tablespoons of fish sauce will make a sauce for for 500g or 1lb of meat. The paste will keep in a jar in the fridge for 2-3 weeks. I spoon 1/4 cup measures into a muffin tin, freeze it, then remove the little 'muffins' of paste into zip-lock bags - 2 per bag - and return to the freezer. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE INGREDIENTS in this recipe, or you won't get that authentic Thai taste. -- posted by Kookaburra

Jamaican Jerk Sauce

Sat, 23 May 2009 17:51:38 -0400

Jerking is actually a method of cooking in Jamaica. Typically chicken, pork roast, or cuts of goat are marinated in jerk seasoning - either dry spices or a wet marinade like this recipe - then roasted in a pit or grilled slowly over wood coals. Scotch Bonnet peppers are some of the hottest chili peppers in the world. You may substitute jalapenos instead. The best flavor for this jerk recipe is from whole allspice berries, which are also called pimientos in Jamaica. Whole allspice berries may be ground in a coffee mill or you may used ground allspice powder. Note: A batch of Jerk Sauce can be kept in the Fridge for up to 1 month.

Tofu and spinach... most people's reaction when they see those words is "Yuck!", but try this and see if your reaction is still the same :) This is an incredibly easy and tasty way to pack the benefits of spinach & the protein content of the tofu to picky eaters. Toss it into your pasta dish, replace tomato sauce on pizza with this, etc. My favourite way to eat is is spread on fresh bread. The measurements make it really easy to remember the recipe and you only need to use 1 measuring cup! I recommend you use firm tofu rather than silky because it is more nutritious. Make it ahead and have pesto on hand whenever you want it!!! -- posted by Génial Génie

Fresh Salsa, Arizona Style

Thu, 23 Jul 2009 01:20:38 -0400

This is a recipe from my Aunt Janice who lived in Arizona during the winters years ago. It's fresh and zappy and my family eats jars of it when we make huge batches during the summer and even the winters! NOTE: If you can't find fresh peppers or tomatoes, you can substitute canned. Just use as many canned peppers as you want. We use about 3-4 cans of diced canned tomatoes. In the summertime we freeze cilantro that we grow in our garden wrapped in a paper towel and use that in the winter instead of buying it pricey fresh. Also if it's too spicy, you can always add more tomatoes or even throw in a can of kidney beans! -- posted by Chef #771374

Perfect Homemade Mayonnaise (Julia Child)

Thu, 20 Aug 2009 14:31:29 -0400

From "Mastering the Art of French Cooking". JULIA'S POINTS TO REMEMBER : Temperature: Mayonnaise is easiest to make when all ingredients are at normal room temperature. Warm the mixing bowl in hot water to take the chill off the egg yolks. Heat the oil to tepid if it is cold. Egg Yolks: Always beat the egg yolks for a minute or two before adding anything to them. As soon as they are thick and sticky, they are ready to absorb the oil. Adding the Oil: The oil must be added very slowly at first, in droplets, until the emulsion process begins and the sauce thickens into a heavy cream. After this, the oil may be incorporated more rapidly. Proportions: The maximum amount of oil one U.S. Large egg yolk will absorb is 6 ounces or 3/4 cup. When this maximum is exceeded, the binding properties of the egg yolks break down, and the sauce thins out or curdles. If you have never made made mayonnaise before, it is safest not to exceed 1/2 cup of oil per egg yolk. REMEDY FOR TURNED MAYONNAISE: You will never have trouble with freshly made mayonnaise if you have beaten the egg yolks thoroughly in a warmed bowl before adding the oil, if the oil has been added in droplets until the sauce has commenced to thicken, and if you have not exceeded the maximum proportions of 3/4 cup of oil per egg yolk. A mayonnaise has turned when it refuses to thicken, or, in a finished mayonnaise, when the oil releases itself from suspension and the sauce curdles. In either case, the remedy is simple. Warm a mixing bowl in hot water. Dry it. Add 1 teaspoon of prepared mustard and 1 teaspoon of sauce. Beat with a wire whip for several seconds unil they cream and thicken together. Beat in the rest of the sauce by teaspoons, thickening each addition before adding the next. This always works. Just be sure you add the turned sauce a little bit at a time, particularly at first. REFRIGERATION: After several days under refrigeration, mayonnaise has a tendency to thin out, especially if it is stirred before it comes to room temperature. If it does turn, bring it back using the preceding system. -- posted by blucoat

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

From Ricardo. I made it tonight and it's very good. It can be used in asian dishes, mexican... For a spicy dip, mix 1/2 cup plain yogurt with 1/4 cup of homemade hot pepper paste or 1 tablespoon sambal oelek store-bought. Delicious in sandwiches and burgers. -- posted by Boomette

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~

Peach Jalapeno Jam With a Hint of Basil

Tue, 22 Sep 2009 14:32:41 -0400

Sweet and savory peach jam has layers of flavors each working together. Sweetened with your choice of honey or brown sugar. Either complements peaches nicely. Kicking it up with jalapenos. Do taste them to sense the heat level and use according to your likes. Sprinkled hint basil to brighten up the flavor. -- posted by ~Rita~

Spice Mix!

Tue, 20 Oct 2009 16:31:17 -0400

Try this as a dry rub or add it to water for a brine. Sprinkle a touch into soup or a dressing. Possibilities are endless........ This is a very workable recipe. Just use the sugar and salt as is and add any dry ground ingredients you prefer equalling 3/4's cup of herbs and spices. Make this for gifts packed in dark glass with a description on a label. I know I have mine in cute little sacks, But that was to make my shipping charges lower. -- posted by ~Rita~

Green Herb Seasoned Salt

Fri, 23 Oct 2009 01:11:44 -0400

I like to use this when I reach for salt, So I lower my intake of salt and kick up the flavor of what I cook. I used home grown herbs that I dried whole. Leaves that are loosely packed into measuring cups. So if using store bought do take note the amounts of the whole herbs would be a lot less. I guesstimate my 2/3's. Great to season any game, roast beef or roast poultry. Season roast veggies, stuffing, rice or potatoes. How about a touch on your eggs. I do like heat but I kept it down in this using only peppercorns. You can add chili powder to really make it hot! -- posted by ~Rita~

Bollywood Chicken Skewers With Spiced Yogurt Dip

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 18:15:35 -0400

Toasted Indian spices and lots of green herbs set these skewers apart. The spiciness of fresh jalapenos varies greatly, so take a tiny taste to gauge the heat, then adjust to your preference. The yogurt dip provides a cooling contrast. -- posted by College Girl

Habanero Mango Hot Sauce

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 14:26:18 -0500

I blend fresh organic carrots, mango, onions, garlic, and a hint of lime juice with the Habanero. The result is a pepper sauce that harmonizes heat and flavor without the overpowering pungency found in traditional vinegar-based hot sauces. Creating a spicy but not overpowering sauce that allows you to spice your food without drowning out the original flavor. The capsaicin is not only hot on the tongue, it is brutal on the eyes or in cuts on your fingers. When preparing peppers you can wear rubber gloves to protect your hands and keep your hands clean. capsaicin has a way of staying on your hands even after washing. Safety glasses will help you avoid splashes or touching your eyes while cutting and cleaning peppers. The steam from boiling vinegar is very strong. Avoid breathing it. Cooking your hot sauce will help blend the flavors together, break down pieces of solid ingredients and pasteurize the sauce. It is an important step which should only be skipped if the sauce will be used up completely within 1 week. Bottles can be bought at http://www.leeners.com/index.html -- posted by ~Rita~

Chipotle Marinade for Grilled Chicken

Wed, 04 Nov 2009 11:02:24 -0500

This makes a thick, delicious paste that coats the chicken with tons of flavor. I like to make more than one batch at a time, apportioned into quart-sized ziplocs containing enough marinade for two chicken breasts. I freeze my chicken in the same bag with the marinade; the night before I intend to grill, I put the whole bag in the fridge and let it defrost / marinade overnight and all through the next day. I like to serve some fresh, homemade pico de gallo on top. Note: When I open a new can of chipotles, I always freeze them individually with the adobo sauce split evenly among each "batch." Therefore, I'm not positive about the amount of adobo sauce I add, but the 1 tablespoon listed below is a decent approximation! -- posted by Robyn's Cookin'

Salsa

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 02:15:02 -0500

A mild tomato and sweet pepper salsa with cilantro and lime. Easy and fast to make using a food processor, but can be prepared by chopping the vegetables by hand if a food processor is not available. For a thicker salsa squeeze some of the juice out of the peppers and onions after processing and before adding the other ingredients and strain some of the liquid from the canned tomatoes before adding them to the mix. -- posted by Chef #578370

Pear-Apple Butter

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 17:17:17 -0500

This tastes like autumn, but is great any time of year. If fresh pears are not in season, you can use canned pear halves packed in light syrup. Just drain four 16-oz. cans, puree in blender or food processor and simmer with remaining ingredients as directed. This spread is delicious on toast or muffins. It will keep up to 1 month in the refrigerator, so it would make a great gift come holiday season. -- posted by JackieOhNo!

Vanilla Cashew Cream

Mon, 21 Dec 2009 16:55:29 -0500

Thsi is a delicious non-dairy cream topping for your favorite pies. I made this for Thanksgiving 2009 to serve with my pumpking and apple pies, and it was AMAZING! Please only use RAW cashew pieces, roasted or salted cashew pieces will make this too dark and taste more like nuts rather than cream. This can but put into the freezer for 10-15 mintues before serving to increase its thickness. You can soak the cashews in the water ahead of time to soften them a bit, but it is not necessary. -- posted by Kozmic Blues
