Thanksgiving 2008 is around the corner for our Thanksgiving Dinner for about 350 people, give or take a few.

Salsa of Win

This is seriously the best salsa ever. It is especially excellent with grilled chicken marinated with lime/apple juice. But really, it's great with anything. We also dipped apple slices in it, and it's good with tortilla chips too. One of the best cullinary experiments I've ever randomly come up with. It has a complex sweet-hot-tangy flavour that will absolutely rock your world. It did mine. -- posted by Kaj V.

Szechuan Peanut Sauce * Exported from Mastercook *

Tue, 30 Dec 2008 22:53:53 -0500

After many years of searching for and trying many, many other recipes, this remains my favorite spicy peanut sauce. My favorite way to serve it is as a dipping sauce for long, fresh green beans, an idea I picked up from a caterer in Gainesville, FL (if I could remember her name, I'd give her credit). Many years ago, I had an edition of MasterCook recipe management software. As technology changed, my software became out-of-date and unusable, but I didn't replace it because I saw the benefit of web-based software such as RecipeZaar (why try to manage recipes all by yourself when you can be part of a community and do it together). After years without this recipe (I never could find where I wrote it down or printed it), I tracked it down in Google. I've added it to RecipeZaar to keep for myself and share with others. The recipe is exactly how I found it, including the name, ingredients, directions, and the notes (see below). The only additional notes I would suggest are: add the chili oil one teaspoon at a time, tasting in between, until you reach your desired level of spiciness; and keep the sauce thoroughly chilled or heated, it will separate at room temperature. Enjoy! ORIGINAL NOTES Recipe By: Jo Anne Merrill Use about 1 tablespoon of sauce per serving of chicken or fish. *Cilantro is usually sold in small bunches. You will need only about 1/3 of an average bunch or 2-3 of the stems with leaves attached. It may also be sold as coriander or Chinese parsley. -- posted by lchelini

You can chill the dip until it's needed. It will keep for two days in the refrigerator but the flavour will enhance -- posted by Chef floWer

Eggplant Onion Dip

Fri, 10 Apr 2009 14:04:59 -0400

Adapted from a recipe in Jean Paré's 'Company's Coming: dip, dunk & dab, party dips and spreads'. This recipe has been descibed as "an update of baba ghanouj... sweetened with caramelised onions (and served) with pita bread chips or vegetables". I learnt also from this book that 'baba ghanouj' means 'indulged father' in Arabic! Rather patriarchal for 2009! Perhaps that's why Jean Paré has re-named this 'eggplant onion dip' - bland and politically correct! I decided to stay with this name but if anyone knows the Arabic for 'eggplant onion dip', I'll happily rename it. The cooking time includes one hour chilling time. -- posted by bluemoon downunder

Apple Chile Salsa

Mon, 04 May 2009 14:40:33 -0400

It's a good idea to use crispy apples (such as Crispin, Braeburn, Gala, or other sweet-tart firm apples) for salsa, since they are available year round. The red bell pepper gives this salsa visual pizzazz, while the citron tea adds citrusy notes. Citron tea is a marmaladelike product made from citron, a citrus fruit native to China. It can be found in Asian markets and is most often used to flavor hot water as a tea. If you can't find citron tea, just use orange marmalade, though it might make your salsa a bit on the sweet side. You can counter the sweetness by adding another teaspoon or so of lemon juice. Cook time is sitting time. Adapted from the "Big Book of Appetizers" cookbook. -- posted by TxGriffLover

Tropical Treasure Mango Salsa by Ali Baba's Babes

Wed, 20 May 2009 15:36:37 -0400

Excerpt from Ali Baba & the Forty Thieves: "Then Ali Baba climbed down and went to the door concealed among the bushes, and said, "Open, Sesame!" and it flew open. Ali Baba, who expected a dull, dismal place, was greatly surprised to find it large and well lighted, hollowed by the hand of man in the form of a vault, which received the light from an opening in the ceiling. He saw rich bales of merchandise -- silk, stuff-brocades, all piled together, and gold and silver in heaps, and money in leather purses. He went in and the door shut behind him. He did not look at the silver, but brought out as many bags of gold as he thought he could carry." :) Now you too can enjoy a wealth of treasures in this refreshing salsa created by the ZWT-5 Team Ali Baba's Babes. :) diner524 - Lime (Peridot, associated with the sun, bestowing dignity on it's wearer and worn proudly as beads or bracelets for protection.

My standby guac recipe has bacon in it and I needed to whip something up for a BBQ that was hosted by a vegetarian. Not wanting to run to the store I raided the pantry and decided 'what the hey', I'll see what I can come up with. I couldn't have been happier with the result. Even a guy at the cookout that was from Mexico said it was better than his grandmothers. Now that's a compliment. I do recommend leaving it in the fridge overnight for best results.

Cashew Herb Spread

Thu, 28 May 2009 23:25:54 -0400

This is an original recipe for a versatile spread that is great on sandwiches or smeared on a lettuce leaf for a quick veg wrap; equally easy to use as a dip for crackers and veg or thin down a bit and use as a "cream" accompaniment for baked tofu, fish, etc. Toss with pasta or rice for a fresh, protein rich, dairy free cream sauce. Would also be nice to dress potatoes for a potato salad... hmmm... the possibilities are endless! My version comes out light green and looks a lot like guacamole, tastes fresh and herby and has a creamy mouth feel. The miso and nutritional yeast add a nutty/cheesy depth that you notice but can't quite put your finger on... and the garlic adds a raw zip that is really nice if you like that kind of thing! I love, love, love that this is something I can make that has no added fats or oils. Hope you love it too! (12 servings = 2 Tbsp per serving) -- posted by rsarahl

Peach and Cucumber Salsa

Thu, 18 Jun 2009 14:14:22 -0400

Low calorie, fat free vegan recipe from Whole Foods; it is highly rated on their website. They suggest serving it atop grilled fish but I think it would also be great with chicken or pork tenderloin. You can make it up to 4 hours ahead of serving, just keep it in the refrigerator. I think mango and a splash of OJ would be a great addition to this recipe as well! NOTE: I just made this recipe and I added the OJ for a touch of sweetness and added a couple drops of jalapeno sauce for more kick. I also didn't care for the mint, so I changed that to optional. . .the basil was nice I thought. -- posted by JanuaryBride

A refreshing lemon/limey guacamole recipe that is neither too spicy nor too tangy. Great for someone who cannot handle too much spice or heat.

This recipe I stumbled upon a few years back! It is a great fresh salsa that should be used up within 4-5 hours after made, but promise this one will disappear quickly!! -- posted by Ashlee #6

Fresh Fruit Dip

Tue, 01 Sep 2009 14:21:47 -0400

From the Better Homes & Gardens Easy Everyday Low Carb Cookbook that I sent to my swap partner FloridaNative. This is a refreshing fruit dip and I used it with fresh pineapple cubes, apples and peaches during a get-together. I did tweak it in that the original recipe called for only an 1/8th tsp of either cinnamon, nutmeg or ginger but I love the combination of cinnamon and nutmeg so I used about a 1/4 tsp of each. -- posted by HokiesLady

Roast Eggplant With Walnuts

Wed, 07 Oct 2009 11:53:41 -0400

This wonderful appetizer, when served with warm pita, marinated strips of red pepper & tasty olives, can be a meal unto itself... or tucked into a pita with the aforementioned for lunch, a very nice lunch. Per the Times: "This Turkish recipe is from Paula Wolfert's upcoming book, "The Slow Mediterranean Kitchen," which will be published in October by Wiley. Wolfert notes that the slower the grilling, the smokier the flavor of the eggplant. She thanks Dr. Ayse Baysal for sharing the recipe." Note: When large eggplants are roasted whole, you may notice black juices seeping out of the skin. If this happens, immediately slit the eggplant on one side and drain on a slanted board in the sink. -- posted by Buster's friend

Savory Sausage Bites With Apple and Onions

Sun, 29 Nov 2009 21:36:50 -0500

Quick to put together and always a crowd pleaser. Just finished in a crock pot if you want or even on the stove. They are sweet and savory and the apples and onion get soft and almost butter like and make a great topping for the toasted baguettes. -- posted by SarasotaCook

Holiday Fruit Dip

Sun, 13 Dec 2009 09:20:43 -0500

I made this recipe for a friend who was visiting home from being in the military. I wanted to make her something special - she loves fruit - but as both of us were dieting I didn't want to load it up with sugar, marshmallow creme and cool whip. This came out fantastic - tastes like a sweet vanilla bean cheesecake. Note: I used truvia packets in place of the Splenda, but any zero calorie sweetener would be fine. -- posted by megs_

This is a delicious Dip, especially nice during the Christmas holidays. The secretary at the school where my daughter works (Shirley Scott) brought this to school and it was a big hit. You just have to try it!!! -- posted by Colorado Lauralee

Peanut Satay Sauce

Mon, 11 Jan 2010 15:44:12 -0500

This differs from my other peanut sauce. I like this one because it's pureed until smooth in the food processor and it doesn't contain coconut milk like my other one. -- posted by KPD

Thick and Creamy Fresh Fruit Dip

This is great for using as a dip for fresh fruit, as well as a spread for quick breads. If you prefer a thinner dip, add a little of the juice from the crushed pineapple. Note: preparation time does not include chilling time. -- posted by Bayhill

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

Stilton Date Dip

Fri, 05 Feb 2010 09:31:46 -0500

From a newsletter I get regularly from grandparents.com, this recipe was described as "A little bite of cheese, a little bite of sweetness, a little bite of crispy & a whole lot of delicious". Just when you think dips have about used up all their originality, along comes a recipe like this to convince you otherwise. (Time includes 5 min to crisp the bacon while you prepare the dates) *Enjoy* ! -- posted by twissis
