Abc's Sauteed Apple, Brussels Sprouts and Cabbage

Sun, 10 Jan 2010 08:16:13 -0500

A healthy side nicely seasoned with onion, garlic, nutmeg and parsley. This side is rich in nutrition and fiber, cabbage is an absolutely phenomenal source of Vitamin C also Vitamin A, E and B, rich in iron and sulfur. This is a good thing to add to your diet if trying to lower blood cholesterol. Just skip the butter! -- posted by ~Rita~

Sarasota's Fresh Crunchy Creamy Celery Salad

Sun, 10 Jan 2010 09:14:30 -0500

This is just a nice twist on a celery salad. I would love to say this is my recipe, but I can't. This is from a small Bed and Breakfast in North Carolina. The Owner / Chef was nice enough to share her recipe with me, and had many other recipes that looked wonderful, but this is the only one I asked for. Unfortunately, the Bed and Breakfast is no longer there and the owner can't be contacted. She was a fantastic cook. The cherries with the combination of the pecans and the creamy dressing, just make it a perfect combination. I love to serve this with a honey roasted chicken, just something light and simple. Enjoy it! -- posted by SarasotaCook

Salsa Criolla - Peruvian Onion, Pepper & Lime Salsa

Mon, 11 Jan 2010 18:48:46 -0500

Quick and easy to prepare, salsa criolla is the perfect accompaniment to many dishes. The lime juice is what makes this onion salsa/relish special. It adds a bright flavor that sweetens the onions and livens up everything else on the plate. For authenticity's sake, it's important to cut the onions "a la pluma," or like feathers. Slice them into to very thin half moons, retaining the curve of the onion, so that they look like little curls on the plate. In Peru, this salsa is made with ají peppers, but jalapeños make a reasonable substitute. Some people also add tomatoes and/or garlic. -- posted by Chef #1334111

A very decant mashed potato that is not for the diet conscious. Recommend using Klondik gold potatoes which are a small buttery flavored potato that requires no peeling. Zaar would not take Klondik gold potatoes. Can use yukon gold but will need to cut them up as they are larger than the Klondik's. -- posted by Debbwl

Dehydrator Creamed Corn

Mon, 18 Jan 2010 19:50:24 -0500

To rehydrate and cook dried corn: In a saucepan, combine 1/4 cup dried corn with 1 cup hot water. If the corn has been blanched, it will rehydrate in 5 to 10 minutes, unblanched corn will take about 30 minutes or longer. Bring the rehydrated corn to a boil and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, cover and let sit for 5 minutes. Drain. This will yield 3/4 cup cooked corn. This recipe adapted from "Mary Bell's Complete Dehydrator Cookbook". Prep time does NOT include dehydrator drying time. -- posted by TxGriffLover

Mixture of rice and vermicelli slightly browned with a buttery flavor. I love this with ribs, salmon, or barbecued chicken. This recipe is from my mother-in-law, takes about 1/2 hour to prepare, and you need 2 sauce pans. Don't sub with brown rice because it doesn't taste as good. You can cut the butter a little if you want but the more you reduce butter the drier the rice. Use real butter! I suggest make it as is written the first time around. -- posted by Chef #1537226

A sprinkling of grated Gruyere cheese on top becomes gooey in the oven. Using a mandoline creates thin slices, which helps the gratin cook more evenly. -- posted by Chef #1082664

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
