Perfect Homemade Mayonnaise (Julia Child)

Thu, 20 Aug 2009 14:31:29 -0400

From "Mastering the Art of French Cooking". JULIA'S POINTS TO REMEMBER : Temperature: Mayonnaise is easiest to make when all ingredients are at normal room temperature. Warm the mixing bowl in hot water to take the chill off the egg yolks. Heat the oil to tepid if it is cold. Egg Yolks: Always beat the egg yolks for a minute or two before adding anything to them. As soon as they are thick and sticky, they are ready to absorb the oil. Adding the Oil: The oil must be added very slowly at first, in droplets, until the emulsion process begins and the sauce thickens into a heavy cream. After this, the oil may be incorporated more rapidly. Proportions: The maximum amount of oil one U.S. Large egg yolk will absorb is 6 ounces or 3/4 cup. When this maximum is exceeded, the binding properties of the egg yolks break down, and the sauce thins out or curdles. If you have never made made mayonnaise before, it is safest not to exceed 1/2 cup of oil per egg yolk. REMEDY FOR TURNED MAYONNAISE: You will never have trouble with freshly made mayonnaise if you have beaten the egg yolks thoroughly in a warmed bowl before adding the oil, if the oil has been added in droplets until the sauce has commenced to thicken, and if you have not exceeded the maximum proportions of 3/4 cup of oil per egg yolk. A mayonnaise has turned when it refuses to thicken, or, in a finished mayonnaise, when the oil releases itself from suspension and the sauce curdles. In either case, the remedy is simple. Warm a mixing bowl in hot water. Dry it. Add 1 teaspoon of prepared mustard and 1 teaspoon of sauce. Beat with a wire whip for several seconds unil they cream and thicken together. Beat in the rest of the sauce by teaspoons, thickening each addition before adding the next. This always works. Just be sure you add the turned sauce a little bit at a time, particularly at first. REFRIGERATION: After several days under refrigeration, mayonnaise has a tendency to thin out, especially if it is stirred before it comes to room temperature. If it does turn, bring it back using the preceding system. -- posted by blucoat

Mexicana Salsa Verde

Mon, 24 Aug 2009 02:06:03 -0400

This recipe is focused on ingredients more commonly found in Mexico (versus the alternate versions on this site -- ingredients found in U.S. grocery stores or that omit the tomatillos). For dip, dressing or for marinade, this salsa can be made with a variety of ingredients including scallions for onions, jalapeño chiles for poblano peppers, and other ingredients found in the variations on this site. The below ingredients are the most basic and easiest. -- posted by Chef #1360233

Buffalo & Blue Cheese Double Dip (Meat-Free)

Tue, 01 Sep 2009 14:35:16 -0400

Vegetarians and carnivores unite! This side-by-side creamy buffalo and blue cheese dip is perfect for crackers, chips, pretzels, fresh veggies, and more. My sister cooked up some skewers of shrimp, chicken and onions over the weekend, and we found this to be a wonderful dipping sauce for them. If you like it hot, try the spicy buffalo side, or cool off with the blue cheese side. My personal preference is to dip a pretzel right in the middle for some of each. Or you can mix the two dips completely together. If you like, use light sour cream and dressing for a healthier dip. This recipe was inspired by a Wind & Willow dip mix. Makes 2 cups. -- posted by ItalianMama

Devil Dip for Vegetables

Tue, 01 Sep 2009 14:35:46 -0400

You know, it's funny. I was researching Zaar before posting this, and each of the dip recipes that contained deviled ham had SOME of the ingredients in this one, but NONE had them all! So here we go with my very favorite dip for crudites. My sister Robin gave me this recipe when she was a new bride, almost 40 years ago, and I've made it for parties from Boston to LA and back again! -- posted by davianng

Basil Parmesan Dip (Cooking Light)

Mon, 14 Sep 2009 14:17:35 -0400

This addictive dip is from the July '09 Cooking Light issue. I served this for dipping with pita chips and also with bread cubes. It makes a WONDERFUL sandwich spread - we put it on a turkey sandwich. The original recipe didn't call for the olive oil; I decided to add it since it only adds about 1 fat gram per 2 tablespoon serving. So you can certainly leave it out if you're watching fat grams. -- posted by appleydapply

Rockin' Hummus

Sun, 04 Oct 2009 01:39:04 -0400

I've tried a lot of hummus recipes but this is the first one that came close to Sabra - my favorite brand. I adapted this recipe from one I found online at a blog by Jonah Lisa. She states that it is the order in which the ingredients are combined that makes the hummus so creamy in the end. I don't know how true that is but I follow her method and always end up with great stuff that rivals my favorite brand. I use my blender but I'm sure a food processor would work great too.

A positively delightful salsa recipe for any occasion. Do not allow the idea of using habanero peppers to scare you off! They really blend well and will not make the dish as spicy as you may think with the seeds and veins removed. If you are brave (or crazy?) like me, leave them in on one or two of the peppers and enjoy the added heat. -- posted by MrTink

Eggplant Hummus

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 11:01:59 -0500

This healthy dip (which we call "hummus ganouj" ) is great with pita or vegetables (baby carrots, sliced bell pepper, cherry tomatoes). If you don't have a blender, finely dice the garlic and mash the chickpeas with a fork, and mix with all the other ingredients. Although the result won't be as creamy, that's how hummus was made before blenders existed. -- posted by Hanna Louise

Every year my dad would make these taquitos with leftover turkey. The corn tortillas are lightly fried in oil, rolled with turkey and sealed on a griddle and come out soft with a nice crunch with the turkey still moist and delicious. These are awesome because they are not deep fried or baked. I took over the tradition and have been making these for years. My family won't eat any leftover turkey in any other form except these soft taquitos. We look forward to these as an appetizer or a meal served with my own Southwestern Dip, Cheese Sauce, Salsa and my Chunky Guacomole the day after thanksgiving. -- posted by Vseward (Chef~V)

This is like a deconstructed pizza!! Its really fun for a party (just double recipe) or one of those nights when everyone is busy and don't get a chance to eat at a "normal" time. I, personally, like to use garlic bread for dipping; but you can certainly use any tip of crusty bread. I would suggest adding any of your favorite pizza toppings. Enjoy!! -- posted by coffybean

Harissa-Spiked Houmous

Wed, 03 Feb 2010 10:38:58 -0500

This recipe is delicous -- for a nosh, cocktail party or just an evening snack! I love these kinds of appetizers because they don't take much time, this one is vegan -- so almost anyone can eat it. I like to serve them with Pita Crisps: preheat oven to 375ºF. Split 6 pitas hrizontally into circles, then cut each circle into 6 triangles. Lay them in a single layer, rough side up, on 2 or 3 baking sheets. Use a pastry brush to brush triangles with olive oil, then sprinkle with fennel seeds and a pinch of sea salt or instead of fennel and sea salt use Mrs Dash salt free seasonings. For example: Table Blend, Original or Garlic & Herb, these have a flavor all their own -- try it you might like it. These can be made about a week ahead, just store in airtight container. -- posted by Manami
