Pasta Salad

This recipe is from my cousin, but I'm unsure of where she received it. It's good for family picnics or get togethers during the summer, but it's just as good for the rest of the year too. -- posted by Theresa Proctor

Italian Mixed Sub (hot or cold)

Tue, 28 Oct 2003 20:00:53 -0500

I used to run a small italian restaurant and this was our most popular sub. Some like it served as a cold sub, and others prefer it baked until the cheese melts and the roll is toasty. Either way, it's delicious. -- posted by -JL-

Porterhouse Steaks With Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto

Mon, 03 Oct 2005 16:55:14 -0400

I love steak (esp on the grill)and am always on the look out for recipes. This comes off a BBQ/grilling website and is very good. The pesto adds a nice topping flavor to the grilled steaks. I have done these on the countertop grill and on the campfire also with no change. -- posted by LAURIE

Soooooo yummy. I'm posting this for ZWT 2006 (Italian region) This is a very hearty sandwich but so tasty that if i'm hungry, even having the small appetite that I do, I can down one and a half of these buggers. Guys and kids love these. This is also easy to double if you have more people to feed. -- posted by JanetC-KY

The Ospidillo Cafe Chicken Cacciatore

Thu, 28 Sep 2006 16:44:32 -0400

Does your family love chicken like mine does? This is my clan's all-round favorite dish of any sort. The original recipe came from Mr. Food (Art Ginsberg) before I messed with it a bit to suit our tastes. It's easy, fairly cheap, feeds 6, sticks to your ribs, and can be prepared easily in 90 minutes. Once you have it going, you just monitor it and make your spaghetti to serve it over (you could serve it over rice). I make this chicken cacciatore at least once a month and they'd be happier around here if I made it once a week! It is much better if the skin is left on while cooking (chicken doesn't get leathery that way) -- you can pull it off (it practically falls off) when you serve it if you wish. Also, if you use plain table salt, cut it back to 1/2 a teaspoon. Sometimes I use whole chickens, cut up, (without the backs, necks, and organs, which I save for making stock), and sometimes just legs and thighs -- it really doesn't matter. We often take this recipe camping, making up the spaghetti ahead of time and storing it in zip-lock bags in the cooler. One final variation -- you can substitute an equivalent amount of fresh Roma tomatoes instead of the canned ones for a "brighter" flavor but, if you do, add 6 ounces of V-8 juice to the recipe. Enjoy, my friends! -- posted by Bone Man

P. P. (Pesto Panini)

Sun, 22 Apr 2007 16:00:06 -0400

This is so easy, but so good. The key is to use a good quality pesto. Oh, and to make it truly outstanding, you have to invite me over. Really. Its a well-known fact. ;) You can use a grill with a foil-covered brick if you dont have a press. -- posted by Sandi (From CA)

Campfire Calzones

Mon, 06 Aug 2007 23:14:16 -0400

Okay, this is a much-beloved SECRET PARK RANGER RECIPE that I've used for years, impressing campers at my park as well as family and friends. This version (below) is the one I use most often but I have also offered alternatives, in the directions section of this recipe for all tastes, kids and adults alike. For this unique recipe, you will need either a charcoal grill or a small campfire. You will also need a campfire pie or sandwich baker, (also called pie irons), which you can easily find at Wal-mart in their outdoor section, or, at any outdoor supply store. They come in both square (sandwich) and round (pie) versions -- you can use either one with equal success. These babies are so delicious, fast, and easy that they're certain to become a family favorite at home or on camping trips which your kids will surely pass down to their own kids some day. The recipe screams out for substitutions and variations so have a lot of fun with this one! -- posted by Bone Man

Healthy Winter Vegetable Soup

Mon, 17 Dec 2007 02:14:47 -0500

A nice, big soup which serves as a perfect winter comforter. This is an adaptation of an age old family recipe. My family are Italian and this is adapted from a typical "rustic" country dish. I have adapted it to better suit ingredients found in England and North America as these are the ingredients I can most easily get hold of whilst I am at university. It is easy to prepare and definitely a crowd pleaser, I've served it to everyone from friends at uni to friends' parents after a hard day at work. My seven year old twin cousins also enjoyed it, so I think it's an all-rounder. PS: Can be adapted and other vegetables can be added. Other variations I have made have included broccoli, purple broccoli and spinach. -- posted by girl-razor

Tomato-Shrimp Scampi Diablo

Thu, 27 Dec 2007 19:03:52 -0500

This dish evolved from my spicy omelette sauce recipe. This chunky sauce just "screamed out" to have seafood added and since butter, vermouth, and garlic are integral to this particular blend, I figured I could add shrimp and call it a scampi of sorts. You could also add calamari rings, bay scallops, mussels, and/or fish chunks if you wished and it would only add to this dish's superb flavor. In any case, it's not pop-your-eyeballs-out hot but you can supplement the heat from the cooking oil by adding a little Tabasco as directed. This is a shrimp dish that will be quickly devoured by a small crowd as I discovered when I first served it as one of multiple appetizers at a family gathering -- it was the first to disappear. As a meal, you can serve this over either cooked Basmati rice or egg noodles. I've offered some ingredient substitutions which have, so far, worked beautifully for me. As a final comment, I love to take this dish camping and cook it in a wok right over an open campfire. Enjoy this dish -- you won't be bored with it, I guarantee that much! -- posted by Bone Man

Easy Italian Salami Pasta Salad

Fri, 07 Aug 2009 02:34:10 -0400

This is a recipe that is easy to make from ingredients that are often in the fridge/ storecupboard. If it is served straight after the minimum 30 minute chill time, you may find that there is a lot of dressing in the salad- this is so that it doesn't dry out if it is stored in the fridge for a few days. Serves 4 as a side dish but this would also make a good take-to work lunch or potluck dish. -- posted by Shuzbud
