Brussels Sprouts Au Gratin

Sun, 20 Dec 2009 20:31:59 -0500

To make this ahead prepare the Brussels sprouts mixture. When ready to bake, top sprouts with the crumbs, then pop in the oven. This is one dish that I love - and I don't like Brussels sprouts, as a whole. So why not try this for the upcoming holiday meal?

Sour Cream & Onion Chicken Nuggets

Mon, 21 Dec 2009 16:40:52 -0500

I saw this recipe on an episode of Paula Deen's show and tweaked it to make it a bit easier. These nuggets can be made for dinner or even served as appetizers for a party. I've found that regular sc&o chips work better than rippled ones, but you can use either. Also if you bread the chicken in a large ziploc bag clean up is SO much faster. You could also use a cooking spray instead of the butter. Enjoy!! -- posted by coffybean

Beijing-Style Pork & Shrimp Jiaozi (Chinese Dumplings)

Tue, 22 Dec 2009 12:14:06 -0500

I got this recipe from my old land lord in Beijing. He was a "lao Beijing ren" (native Beijinger), so his recipes are very authentic. He decided that my roommate and I needed to learn all the Beijing dishes, and thus took it upon himself to teach us. My friends and I like to have dumpling parties, where we get together and wrap dumplings and talk, which makes it not as labor intensive. -- posted by Spicy Little Sister

Baked Bacon-Wrapped Brown Sugar Smokies

Wed, 23 Dec 2009 14:38:59 -0500

I've seen other recipes for these little indulgent treats, but they cook them in a crockpot and I prefer to bake ours. Baking them in the oven allows the bacon to crisp, the liquids to be released from the Smokies, and the brown sugar to caramelize on them deliciously. It also allows to you control the fat content of them a bit more easily, as most of the bacon drippings will remain on the sheet pan after cooking. We usually make them during the holidays, but they're good for all year 'round, of course. So easy to make! -- posted by Julesong

Liverless Rumaki

Mon, 28 Dec 2009 16:49:57 -0500

There are many recipes for Rumaki that all call the use of chicken liver. Not everyone likes chicken livers.

Lifted Boneless Chicken Wings

Tue, 29 Dec 2009 02:07:37 -0500

So more guests arrived than expected so I rushed to the Grocery store frozen section hoping to pick up meatballs but instead found boneless chicken wings. My husband quickly cooked them per the instructions, but needless to say they were not a hit. Being a person who hates to waste, I decided to try to make them more paliatable.

Don's Queso Dip

Wed, 30 Dec 2009 02:00:10 -0500

My dad started this recipe in our family. I grew up making it with my dad and after his death I have continued to make it. I have tweaked it to suit my family. Great to make for the Superbowl or a casual get together. All the spices are to taste. The measurements below are estimates, I rarely measure. Feel free to cut back on the Jalepeno if you don't like your food spicy. Also, instead of just plain ground beef, I have made it using left-over chili, just cut back on the spices then.Use more or less Milk to make cheese as thin/thick as you like, keep in mind the salsa will thin it out. You can use Pepper jack Velveeta if you cannot find the Mexican style. Also, leftover chili or 1/2 lb ground beef and 1/2 lb Chorizo instead of ground beef has had awesome results in my household, just cut back on seasonings. My mother likes to put this into a Crockpot to cook while she makes dinner. -- posted by Bekahbv

Marty Family Bread and Sausage Stuffing

Wed, 30 Dec 2009 02:24:30 -0500

This is our family's traditional Thanksgiving turkey stuffing that I've been helping my Mom make since I was a little girl (and I guess the same stuff she grew up on too). This will work with about any size turkey; the cooking time really depends on your bird. Quick, easy, and IMHO, delicious! Also great on a sandwich the next day (if you're lucky enough to have any left) with some cranberry sauce. Hope you enjoy it! -- posted by MommaJen

Best Chestnut Stuffing

Thu, 31 Dec 2009 02:37:25 -0500

I fell in love with this stuffing as a kid, if you can find jarred chestnuts you can skip the roasting step. Although you can stuff a 16-18 lb turkey with this stuffing, I recommend that you bake it separately. -- posted by Chef #588927

Sauerkraut and Spareribs

Fri, 01 Jan 2010 20:15:15 -0500

This is a New Year's Day tradition for my hubby's family. It has German origins and is supposed to bring good luck in the New Year. Note: My MIL says that the spareribs must be country-style; baby back don't work for this one. The amount of sauerkraut used depends on how much you want to eat. We found 2 cans to be too much; next time, we'll scale it down to 1 1/2. -- posted by The Wallaces

My Christmas Ham

Sat, 02 Jan 2010 10:35:16 -0500

An adaption from a recipe found on AllRecipes.com. This has become our favorite ham recipe when using the oven (we also smoke ham outside on the grill). We make the recipe as stated, even for our small family, because of all the wonderful leftover ham recipes on RecipeZaar! My family does not eat the pineapple (except me), so I end up putting the leftover fruit in jello or mixing with cottage cheese for a snack. -- posted by Spankie

Have it be a special occasion, or an ordinary family meal; the combination of sweet & spice, with a hint of red wine and Italian herbs/sausage, will leave your audience's taste buds satisfied to every extent of the word - GUARANTEED! Be prepared though, as everyone who comes by this sauce will be asking you for the recipe ASAP...Enjoy =) ***Remember: High quality Italian sausage (or meat), and wine/beer definitely make for the best sauce possible. -- posted by Chef #1505475

Hash Brown Casserole With Bacon and Cheddar

Mon, 04 Jan 2010 17:27:10 -0500

Wonderful for a weekend brunch. My whole family absolutely loves it. Lots of flavor from the onions, chives, and bell pepper. There are lots of variations of this recipe but I like that this one uses milk instead of sour cream or cream cheese which are high in fat and this one still has just as much flavor. It came from Debbie Macomber's Cedar Cove Cookbook that a friend got me for Christmas. I only switch the whole milk to 1 % and keep the skillet at medium-low instead of low when making the sauce. Can easily be doubled to serve more people. When I do, I use a 12 oz package of bacon and a 1 lb 14 oz bag of hash browns since that's what they usually come in anyways. Also, the easiest way to snip the chives is with kitchen scissors. So much faster than with a knife! Enjoy! -- posted by BrinaBear

Slow-Roasted Prime Rib

Tue, 05 Jan 2010 11:19:35 -0500

From the Fine Cooking magazine's Roasting edition. The small end or first cut is from the loin and has a little more meat and less fat than the second cut. The second cut is from the chuck end and is overall bigger but has more fat interspersed between the portions of lean meat. Either will work but the editors recommended the first cut and prime grade (verses choice grade). Fleur de sel is a premium sea salt; you can use kosher salt as a substitute. The leftovers can be used to make delicious prime rib sandwiches. -- posted by LaJuneBug

Hung's Clay Pot Rice

Recipe by Hung Huynh, a student at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York was a Top Chef winner. Hung Huynh learned to cook with the Chinese trinity - GGS = ginger, garlic and scallions. He uses all three here to flavor this earthy, mushroom-and-bacon-studded clay pot (without the clay pot) rice.;) It was fun trying this type of rice in the dining room and seeing the people's reactions - they either loved it or weren't convinced by it.From: Top Chef Winner's Tips, Hung Huynh - publlished 02/2008 edition of F&W Magazine.There is an hour soaking time for the raw rice.It makes a nice side for chicken or fish - we tried it with chicken tenders (lightly seasoned and done on the grill) and sweet peas.:) -- posted by Manami

Leftover Turkey and Leek Pot Pie With Instant Gravy

Fri, 08 Jan 2010 06:03:53 -0500

This is MY much adapted version of Jamie Oliver's Turkey and Sweet Leek Pie! I made this with left over Christmas turkey this year, and it was so delicious and went down a bomb with my family and friends! A new Jamie Oliver recipe that he showed on his Family Christmas show this year and one that is so clever, as this pie makes its own gravy! I have left out adding the chestnuts and sage to the pastry as he suggests, I will try it sometime in the future though, as it sounds a brilliant idea; I have added this option at the end of the recipe however, for those who want to try it that way. Serve this with mashed potatoes and the extra gravy in a gravy boat on the side. Here is what Jamie says about this pie: "This is dead simple, completely versatile and absolutely gorgeous. Its not a pretty-boy pie; its a proper, old-school pie that everyone will be over the moon to see on the table. Im putting leftover white turkey meat to good use here, but you could also mix brown meat in there too." I agree, all of my family and friends were over the moon to see this on the post Christmas table, I bet it tastes great with chicken and ham too. NB: he original recipe makes enough for 6 to 8 people, mine is perfect for 4 very hungry people! -- posted by French Tart

Smoky Chicken and Chorizo Mexican Enchilada Baked Casserole

Mon, 11 Jan 2010 08:54:15 -0500

This recipe was made from leftovers and has been requested again ALREADY by Malcolm, my husband! Cooked chicken is mixed with smoky, hot chorizo sausage and folded through a chipotle chilli tomato sauce..........sounds too hot?! I then added some sweet corn, sour cream and a jar of mild salsa to calm it down a bit, but please DO use hot salsa if you like a little spice in your life! I topped this with a dollop of sour cream and dressed it with chopped jalapeno peppers, parsley and a little chopped coriander (cilantro) for a perfect cold weather lunch. I devised this recipe especially for the Two for One Leftovers event in the Cooking Photo's Forum. Please adjust the chilli powder to your own requirements. I like spicy food but Malcolm does not, so I topped mine with loads of chopped jalapeno peppers and a sprinkling of chipotle chilli powder!! NB: I used Spanish chorizo sausage, which is cured; if you are using fresh chorizo sausage, it needs to be browned beforehand.(I made this original recipe with leftovers from KissKiss's Recipe #368069. However, ANY cooked chicken will do for this!) -- posted by French Tart

Fortnum and Masons Authentic Scotch Eggs With Sausage and Herbs

Tue, 12 Jan 2010 17:06:45 -0500

Freshly boiled eggs are encased in a herb flavoured sausage jacket and are then deep-fried until golden and crisp, delicious! Contrary to popular belief, Scotch eggs are not Scottish, and they were actually invented by the famous London department store Fortnum & Mason in 1738, where they are still available today. The word "Scotch" is an old English word meaning to chop or mince, and obviously, the eggs are covered with chopped or minced pork sausage meat, hence the name Scotch Eggs. They are traditional British picnic food but I also like to serve them as a light lunch or snack, and they make a wonderful addition to the buffet table. These tasty traditional English specialities have had bad press over the years; mainly down to commercial mass production, but if you make them at home with fresh, free-range eggs and the best quality sausage meat, they will taste divine, and they will always be the stars of the picnic hamper or family lunch table! PLEASE use high quality sausage meat or sausages, with at least 70% meat content.Historical Note: Founded in 1707, Fortnum & Mason (F&M) stocks "food fit for a queen". The 300-year-old British department store, famous for its jams, teas, and sauces, provides the Queen with her annual supply of Christmas puddings and holds the "Royal Warrant. -- posted by French Tart

Traditional Potted Spiced Ham for Tea Time by Mrs Beeton

Wed, 13 Jan 2010 15:04:02 -0500

An old-fashioned treat, this is a fabulous way to use up left over ham, although I have also put some freshly cooked ham aside especially for this when I have baked a ham for Christmas, Easter or another special occasion. The ham is finely minced and mixed through with old-fashioned spices and butter, and it keeps for several weeks in a cool place. Another name for this recipe is Potted Meat, and it was VERY popular in Victorian times, although recipes for potted meats (preserved under butter) goes back even further than that historically. Wonderful in sandwiches for the teatime table or for picnics, lunch boxes and festive buffets. This is an adapted recipe from Mrs Beetons Book of Household Management, where she suggests that this is a nice addition for the Breakfast or Luncheon table. Serve with sliced breads of all types, oatcakes, toast, bread rolls, and crackers or with salad, chutneys, mustard and pickles. NB: Use a good cooked ham on the bone for this recipe: the sort carved by hand at the deli and old-fashioned butchers. So called "cooking time" is chill time. -- posted by French Tart

Chipotle Lime Wings

Mon, 18 Jan 2010 00:50:04 -0500

A smoky wing with medium heat. This way of preparing the wings is lower fat than deep fried and not as messy if you marinade them overnight and don't coat them in sauce again before serving. Also, if you are not able to find Tabasco Chipotle you can use any hot sauce with a little liquid smoke added. Toss them in a crock pot after they bake and they get extra tender and flavorful. -- posted by Scott Johnson

My husband lived on a street where a neighborhood chef would create dishes, then call the neighbors at all hours. They would stumble over in PJs and tast the latest creation.

Don't be afraid to make this for the family dinner for a trial. Great served with steamed rice and roasted brocolli. If you make chafing pans of this, double the recipe here.

Honey Clove Brine for Mr. Turkey

Fri, 22 Jan 2010 14:34:55 -0500

Brining a turkey before roasting, or deep frying, will give the turkey more flavor and keep it juicy after cooking. No more dried out bird.

Dean and Deluca's Authentic Bavarian Sauerbraten Pot Roast

Sun, 24 Jan 2010 18:33:49 -0500

Sauerbraten is, quite simply, the best pot roast that we know of. Though we normally stay away from top round as a braising beef -- because it's so relatively lean -- we like to use it for sauerbraten, which requires intact slices of beef to be served at the table. Top round keeps its shape very well, and, in this dish, comes to the table quite moist -- due to the long marination and the long cooking time. To insure the moistness of the beef, have the butcher leave a thin outer covering of fat around the top round. Serve this deep, dark, sweet-and-sour treat with red cabbage recipe #108449 and boiled new potatoes (salzkartoffel) or spaetzle. Serves 4 -- posted by BecR

Melted Foie Gras on Country Bread With Armagnac

Sun, 24 Jan 2010 20:19:36 -0500

This fabulous Dean and Deluca recipe was inspired by an extraordinary restaurant near Baden-Baden, in Germany. The chef sautéed thick slices of country bread in duck fat, with garlic, then simply melted very thin slices of fresh foie gras over the bread. Though it's astoundingly simple to do, it's a mightily impressive starter for a lusty dinner party. Serves 4 as a first course. -- posted by BecR

Monday Supper! Curried Lamb and Chutney Rissoles/Patties

Mon, 25 Jan 2010 11:13:25 -0500

A tasty and different way to use some of the Sunday Roast leftovers on Monday! Although I have specified lamb in this recipe, beef would also work very well, it's just that I had roast lamb leftovers when I made these. These rissoles are lightly spiced and tangy - perfect for supper when served with salad, pickles, chutneys and maybe a naan bread or pitta bread to make a sandwich. They are easily made and can be prepared ahead of time and left in the fridge, as they hold their shape better when they have been chilled and are firm. These will also freeze very well; open freeze them before frying on a tray or plate until firm and then pack them into freezer bags or a plastic container. They only need about 6 hours to defrost and then are cooked as instructed below.Use curry powder to taste, I use 2 teaspoons as I like mine quite spicy! -- posted by French Tart

Buffalo Chicken Wing Dip

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 12:39:13 -0500

a great way to enjoy chicken wings without the mess. great served with celery or tortilla chips for dipping. I like to use a crock pot to keep this dip warm during parties, just mix everything up on the stove than transfer to the crock pot or you can use a electric fondue pot on warm too. If you don't want to use those then separate into small batches in oven safe dishes so you can keep the dip warm. Not sure where the recipe came from, everyone I know has their own spin for it. -- posted by Chef ChristinaMac

Herbed Burger Patties

Fri, 05 Feb 2010 09:35:08 -0500

We make our burger patties from scratch rather than buying the pre-made supermarket variety, as they're too salty for me. This recipe ramps up the flavour by trading the salt for a variety of either fresh or dried herbs instead. These are good on turkish breadrolls or ciabatta rolls with salad of your choice. -- posted by JennyMidget

Cincinnati Style Chili

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 14:00:03 -0500

I have always loved Skyline Chili. I'm not from Cincinnati, but have been there. This is a combination of recipes I used to make one that has worked for me. I made it for the big superbowl party my family has every year. They loved it! I've never made it from scratch before because I didn't know what all was in the sauce. I had always used sauce packets from the grocery store. When the store was out, I had to come up with another solution. I love to cook and experiment. So...this is what I came up with. Enjoy! -- posted by earth_angel79
