Rannoch Smokery Cold Smoked Beef Crostini

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 21:06:36 -0500

These crostini are an appetising mix of tender thin slices of finest Scotch beef and rich beetroot and orange chutney. They make quite a substantial delicious pre dinner canapé or as a starter with a salad garnish. They are easy to make and all the ingredients can be store cupboard or freezer, so youll never be caught out again if unexpected guests turn up or people are hungrier than expected! -- posted by LP3000

Mini Crab BLT Sandwiches With Roasted Tomatoes & Avocado

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 21:31:25 -0500

These are simple little sandwiches which you can make all ahead of time and then just put together right before serving. A nice twist on BLT. A simple BLT spread with crab, roasted tomatoes and avocado make this great. I cut the small baguettes on a angle, secure each half with a tooth pick for a nice small bite size sandwich. Great for appetizers. Now, really hungry ... make this on some toasted Ciabatta bread for a decadent full size sandwich with a bowl of soup one night for a great dinner. -- posted by SarasotaCook

Homemade Salsa...

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 21:50:35 -0500

I got this from my friend Staci whose grandmother is Hispanic. Staci made it for us one day and I've been hooked on it since. Just a tip... Unless you can eat about a half gallon of salsa, I suggest you grab a few extra containers to share with your friends and family.PLEASE NOTE that because this is homemade salsa (no added preservatives), it only keeps in the refrigerator for 2 weeks tops! -- posted by Ali-Cat Roberts

Truffled Wild Mushroom & Three-Cheese Macaroni/Pasta

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 01:07:10 -0500

Extremely decadent! Use shaved truffles if you want to splurge, but truffle oil will suffice! (be very wary of a "budget" source on truffles...food poisoning usually follows!) Can be an appetizer or main dish...i recommend the latter : ) I've also done with fettuccine and shells! -- posted by GoldsmithLissa

fantastic for summer. very ozie xmas i think. You can make this as thick as you like. It would be great with cut up vegetables as a snack or to pour over salad. prawns not included in ingredients. not sure how many you would need. If using prawns mix prawns with marinade and bbq 5 mins each side. -- posted by Sonya01

Bacon-Crab Mushroom Caps

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 01:26:35 -0500

This is a Kraft recipe. I have not tried this but am putting it here for safe keeping. With the holidays coming up I hope to make them then. I like the idea of using either mushroom caps or cherry tomatoes or just using as a cracker spread. -- posted by Catnip46

Tamarind Cashew Sauce (Dip or Sauce...lots of Variations)

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 01:28:33 -0500

I've made it as a sauce for everything from fresh veggies, fresh fruit (especially apples), to lettuce wraps. Also makes great sauce for main dish of meat, chicken or seafood. I've also made a great pita sandwich using the sauce with chicken and apples! Inspired by Cheesecake Factory's dipping sauce! Takes about 15-20 mins to prepare depending on kitchen efficiency, but allow a minimum of 30 mins to cool and set. -- posted by GoldsmithLissa

Seared Nova Scotia Scallops

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 12:13:22 -0500

These are served on a bed of Caramelized Wild Blueberry Onion Chutney - so delicious!! For better results on the scallops, remove the beard of the scallop. When cooking scallops, it is important to do them at the last minute prior to serving to avoid cooking. -- posted by Chef mariajane

This is it! I love salsa and I'm always making new salsa recipes. I've tweaked this to perfection. Follow it exactly and you won't be able to quit eating it. I know it seems so simple and that is what is so entirely amazing. This is exactly like you would keep asking them to refill at a restaurant. Now make it at home and eat! -- posted by Chef #1394071

Joanna's Party Dip

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 14:50:02 -0500

This is a simple bacon and cream cheese dip I have tweaked over the years and it always disappears at any gathering where I make it. It makes a small amount which is just right to accompany a cheese platter with crackers and some wine. Make at least two hours earlier for best results. -- posted by Perfectionist cook

Sweet Braised Whole Scallions (Molly Stevens)

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 16:10:55 -0500

This would be a fabulous, easy side dish for Thanksgiving. "As the scallions braise, the sweet anise flavor of the tarragon mingles with their oniony juices, giving the whole dish a candy-like sweetness. If you cant find fresh tarragon, or simply dont care for its taste, substitute fresh parsley or omit the herb altogether. The scallions will still taste delicious." Recipe is from "All About Braising: The Art of Uncomplicated Cooking" by Molly Stevens. -- posted by blucoat

California and Maki Rolls (Japanese Sushi)

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 01:57:23 -0500

The difference between California Rolls and Maki-zushi is the way it's rolled. The California Roll has the sushi rice on the outside with the nori on the inside. A Maki roll has the sushi rice on the inside with the nori on the outside. For directions on making the sushi rice see Recipe #383636. This is a combination of recipes found on Food Network. Special equipment need is 2 bamboo sushi rolling mat plus a bowl of water with ice. SUSHI ETIQUETTE: Sushi is meant to be finger food, quick and tasty. It is preferable to eat sushi with ones hands rather than with chopsticks, but both ways are acceptable in America. Eat the whole sushi roll at once. It is not appropriate to eat part of a piece of sushi and place the other piece back on a plate. Once you have picked something up you should eat all of it. Do not dip the California rolls into the Soy sauce as the rice portion of the sushi will become too moist and can cause sushi to fall apart. Maki rolls can be dipped into the Soy because the seaweed (Nori) is on the ouside and will hold it together. Simply dip into the soy sauce before eating. -- posted by Galley Wench

I have made this as a sandwich on buttered wheat bread with american cheese, alf alpha sprouts and sunflower seeds. Delicious!!! Enjoy!! -- posted by Stephanie Rybak

Filipino Egg Rolls

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 15:24:24 -0500

This recipe is from my mother, I usually double the recipe, becuase once the egg roll are wrapped they can be frozen and taken out at anytime and fried. Try this with the sweet chili sauce found in the Asian Food aisle of any grocery store. This is also a big hit when I bring them into work or my husbands pot luck. This is the best recipe you will ever find! -- posted by Pumpkin Pie's Mommy

Muffaletta Olive Salad

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:01:06 -0500

This was a concoction I came up with after having my first Muffaletta sandwich while at the New Orleans airport on a layover. The olive spread on the sandwich was so tasty and I experimented with ingredients to create this recipe. I often take this to parties as an appetizer and serve on bagel chips. It's always a hit and most everyone askes me for the recipe. ! Hope you like it as much as we do. -- posted by Jenniegal

Easy Hummus

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 20:14:54 -0500

Hummus is a popular dip usually eaten with pita bread at Middle Eastern restaurants. This version is is easy to make for anyone with a food processor. All of the ingredients are commonly available. It is every bit as good as hummus made with tahini. Consider this the convenience food version of hummus. You may be aghast at the use of bottled lemon juice and jarred garlic, but it really does work as well as fresh for this recipe. This hummus makes a good sandwich filling: Fill a pita pocket or a warmed flour tortilla with a few tablespoons of hummus. Add sliced tomato, lettuce, red onion, and perhaps a few pickled banana pepper rings. It's very satisfying. -- posted by RudyH

Savory Muffins With Goat Cheese, Rosemary and Kalamata Olives

Sun, 22 Nov 2009 17:56:57 -0500

Savory muffins to serve with soups, a big salad or on their own for healthy snacking. This recipe was in Pam Anderson's CookSmart column in the USA Weekend paper, Feb 20, 2009. If you want something delectable and nourishing and don't mind messing up four or more different bowls, this recipe is a lucious hit every time. I replace the sugar with agave or leave it out sometimes. These freeze fine, if well-packaged, to add quick pizzazz to a dinner for many or just take one out to reheat solo. I believe this is from her newest (fifth) cookbook called "The Perfect Recipe for Losing Weight and Eating Great". Thank you, Pam! -- posted by VeggieVal

On a sunny day, roll up your pants and stroll along the shoreline during low tide: you will find bluish-black mussels clinging to the rocks in shallow water...there for the taking; or buy them at your local fish market!! You are sure to find these tender mollusks truly delicious. Source: Traditional Recipes of Atlantic Canada (P E I) -- posted by Elly in Canada

Avocado Hummus

Sat, 28 Nov 2009 15:30:24 -0500

My husband found this recipe in his Triathlete magazine, so we whipped it up tonight. "This twist on regular hummus - a Mediterranean diet staple - is so creamy and delicious (and packed with healthy fats), that you may just eat it with a spoon and lose the pita altogether!" From Triathlete Magazine, November 2009. -- posted by FloridaNative

Low Carb Jalapeno Poppers

Sat, 28 Nov 2009 17:43:54 -0500

I was craving poppers but didn't want super greasy bacon or high carb breading so I invented these... Sometimes instead of the garlic powder and seasoning salt, I use 2 tsp of a product called Johnny's Garlic Spread Seasoning which is just awesome - I buy it at Costco here in Canada. The number of jalapenos varies depending on the size you get and how much spread you put inside each half! Tried it with fat-free cream cheese and it just didn't have a good texture. Have also used shredded taco cheese blend right out of the freezer instead of plain cheddar! -- posted by Cadillacgirl
