Spanish Green Salad With Roasted Red Peppers and Preserved Lemon

Mon, 14 Sep 2009 16:29:42 -0400

I was attending a dinner party where the theme was Spanish food, and I was responsible for bringing a salad. The funny thing about Spain is that their salads are either super plain (e.g. a couple of tomatoes and some greens) OR contain meat, in the form of fish or cured ham of some kind. I looked at several different recipes and made up this one. -- posted by bmann

Scallop and Mango Ceviche With Thai-Lime Dipping Sauce

Wed, 23 Sep 2009 02:11:05 -0400

This dipping sauce, fresh with herbs and tangy with lime, is Blue Ginger's, Ming Tsai's restaurant, most requested recipe. It's based on the traditional Thai dip called cha-gio, which gets its flavor from fish sauce. That salty ingredient is nicely balanced with lime juice. The herbs darken as the sauce ages; this isn't a taste problem (quite the opposite, as the flavor deepends over time) but the sauce will lose it looks. If this bothers you make and store the sauce "base" only, then chop & add the herbs an hour before serving it.Ceviche is food "cooked" without heat. As with all ceviches, freshness is key. Make sure your scallops are pristine enough to eat raw. This technique uses citric acid or vinegar to firm and therefore"cooked". Here, mango adds its exotic sweetness to scallops, which cook in the flavorful dipping sauce. Ming Tsai - ming.com - Episode 105, Tags: sauce, appetizer, scallops or mangoes. ;) -- posted by Manami

Lemon Mousse Squares (Diabetic)

Fri, 02 Oct 2009 16:09:59 -0400

I found this in a Diabetic cookbook and were so good! They were like a light cheesecake, but even better!! The only change from the listed ingredients and what I used was they had Sugar Free Lemon Yogurt listed and I couldn't find that anywhere, but I did find Dannon Light and Fit Carb and Sugar Control Vanilla Cream Yogurt. I used that it may have made them even better!! Also you can substitute Splenda for the Sugar. I tried to write the recipe that way, but it wouldn't let me. I'm not going to include the chilling times, just the time it takes for you to actually be doing something! -- posted by LDSMom128

Seared Scallops With Basil, Anchovy & Sweet Corn Pudding

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 13:12:28 -0400

The quality of the fresh seafood is key in this lemony, piquant dish. April Bloomfield recommends seeking out day-boat scallops, caught by fishermen who return from a day at sea with supremely fresh scallops that haven't been treated with any kind of preservative. If you can't get the "just-caught" make sure they are of a coral-color instead of a milky-white. Chef Alice Bloomfield - From Pairing of the Day: July 2008, Published 2007. Wine Chardonnays from Californias Carneros region are known for their lemon cream and fruit notes, a nice echo for these scallops. Two good Carneros bottlings are the melon-tinged 2005 St. Clement and the tropical-fruited 2005 Rombauer. -- posted by Manami

Easy Lemon Self Saucing Pudding

Wed, 28 Oct 2009 17:25:41 -0400

Been looking for the lemon delicious recipe I cooked many years ago but somewhere along lost the clipping (before ZAAR time) and this seems to come close to it though called a pudding (maybe searching in the wrong area) but it was good though sweeter than I remember (would need to work on the sugar content), certainly don't remember having the sprinkle sugar on top as per this recipe but I believe that what gives it its crispy top in this recipe. Serving suggestion was 4 but I think could be easily stretched to 6 served with cream and or icecream. i found that 1 lemon gave me the rind and juiced that but needed to juice a second lemon to get the full 1/2 cup (got a little more than that and added the lot). -- posted by I'mPat

Acorn Squash With Citrus and Chile

I really enjoy acorn squash and can't wait until the fall crop is ready each year. Zaar has a ton of recipes with acorn squash stuffed with just about everything, but after an extensive search I couldn't find one similar to this one. I was surfing the 'net and found this recipe at the Care2 website @ http://www.care2.com/greenliving/acorn-squash-with-citrus-and-chile.html Care2 says this about recipe: Something magic happens when you roast an autumn squashit transforms from a hard, grainy, starchy thing to a mellow, creamy, sweet miracle. Matching autumn squash with flavors like cinnamon and brown sugar is a natural; but we found a recipe that adds tart and spicy to the sweet taste of acorn squash, that is fresh and surprising but still warm and comforting.

Honey-Glazed Carrots

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 17:44:18 -0500

Carrots taste better with honey, so much so, that you won't even have to encourage the kids to "Eat your carrots, they're good for your eyes!" And, research shows that cooking carrots actually increases the antioxidant value in them. -- posted by Alan in SW Florida

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

Fresh Cranberry Pecan Salad

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 22:08:06 -0500

This salad is my daughter and mother's favorite Thanksgiving recipe. I used to make it every year for the teachers at my children's school--they RAVED over it. After Thanksgiving, I like to have it as a snack over plain yogurt. It is absolutely to die for! -- posted by Chef #738454

Shredded Brussels Sprouts & Scallions (Gourmet)

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 01:37:21 -0500

An easy and delicious recipe from Gourmet Magazine (March 1996). You can make this ahead of time and rewarm before serving (even in the microwave!). Perfect for Thanksgiving or a holiday meal. Another very good twist on this recipe is to replace the lime juice with balsamic vinegar and the scallions with shallots. Yum! -- posted by blucoat

Skillet Spiced Cranberry Chicken

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 01:58:50 -0500

I like to serve this easy one-pan dish throughout the holidays, when fresh cranberries are in season! Frozen or dried cranberries could also be used, for all year round appeal. Feel free to adjust sweetness to your tastes (we like it tangy). This chicken is great served with stuffing or rice, and your favorite seasonal vegetables. -- posted by BecR

This trifle is pretty and versatile and one of the desserts being served for our Thanksgiving "family" dinner! There will be approximately 240 people to eat at our feast! Found this on the Pepperidge Farm site. Did not account for the 30 minute standing time. -- posted by Manami
