Sweet & Hot Peach Salsa

Wed, 27 Aug 2008 18:51:01 -0400

We had an overabundance of peaches this year so I tried a couple of different salsa recipes and came up with my own version....posting for safe keeping. My peaches were sweet and very ripe, so depending on your ingredients, taste this as you go and modify it for heat and sweetness. I started out adding 1/4 cup sugar at a time until it was what I liked. Same with jalapenos. Adjust to your personal taste. After figuring out that we liked salsa sweet and hot, we have four batches and worried how we are going to make it this winter! -- posted by flightnurse

Sourdough With Jalapeno Cheese Spread

Fri, 26 Sep 2008 18:45:45 -0400

I made a big pot of my chili and had a loaf of homemade sourdough bread leftover from the day before. I wanted something different from the usual garlic bread or corn bread, one typically serves with chili. I opened the fridge and this cheese spread is what I came forth. A wonderful spread, dip and as you'll find out, perfect for spreading on sourdough or French bread and heating under the broiler. -- posted by Humble Bee

Goat Cheese--Edamame Dip With Spiced Pepitas

Mon, 06 Oct 2008 01:04:17 -0400

Thanksgiving 2008 is around the corner for our Thanksgiving Dinner for about 350 people, give or take a few. Canned chipotles in adobo sauce give this clever, creamy dip an enticing heat and smokiness. The spiced pepitas scattered over the dip are addictive and great as a snack on their own. With Halloween around the corner - we can have pepitas, pepitas, and more pepitas!! This is fast/can be made-ahead/it is a staff favorite/& vegetarian. Cooling time is 1 hour. Recipe by Rachel Soszynski, from: Ultimate Thanksgiving Planner: Time Saving Tips - Food & Wine Magazine, November 2008 edition. Serve with any of my recipe #146950, or recipe #190801, or recipe #174467 - just a slight hint!! -- posted by Manami

Meaty Bean and Cheese Dip

Tue, 21 Oct 2008 00:48:53 -0400

Spicy and Smoky Guacamole

Thu, 23 Oct 2008 19:28:04 -0400

We are still receiving bushel baskets with avocados! A 'family member' keeps on bringing them in! Every female at this 'home' has the shiniest hair possible! We made this guacamole for a change of pace - it is spicy and I gave it away to the staff; keeping some for myself. Unlike other 'Latin Americans" the Cubans don't like their food spicy so we had enough to go around and around. "A pickled jalapeno makes this guacamole tangy", to say the least!!! Melissa Rubel from F&W Magazine. This can be served with recipe #146950, or recipe #190801, or recipe #149816, or recipe #189492 or tortilla chips. -- posted by Manami

Velveeta Dirty Dip

Sat, 08 Nov 2008 16:25:24 -0500

This is always a big hit at parties, carry-ins, and football viewings. As a nacho lover I played around with the basic Velveeta salsa recipe and created a yummy variation. You can make this dip as spicy or mild as you prefer by interchanging the ingredients with mild or spicy options. -- posted by ChoisserCooks

White Queso Dip

Tue, 11 Nov 2008 00:15:31 -0500

Have you ever been to a mexican restaurant or burrito joint and tried that tasty white cheese dip? After much experimentation, I finally have a recipe that is on par with the cheese dip you can get there, and you're sure to love it too. This beats anything you can buy prepackaged in a store! If you do not have a double boiler, you can improvise by using a metal mixing bowl over a saucepan. -- posted by Dr. Harris

Delicious "drink Me" Salsa

Mon, 17 Nov 2008 01:13:50 -0500

I received this basic recipe from a friend but modified it after many, many.. many batches! My friends will literally pour this into a wine glass and drink it, and they constantly beg me to make it! It's not sweet like many salsas, and has a good oniony base, which is what I think makes it so good! -- posted by melewen

Salsa of Win

Thu, 11 Dec 2008 21:49:34 -0500

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.

Spicy Jalapeno Spread

Wed, 17 Dec 2008 01:13:40 -0500

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

Thu, 08 Jan 2009 00:16:00 -0500

I've been making this salsa for years and years without measuring. However, a cousin of mine swore she had to have a "real recipe" (no imagination, that girl!). Here is what I came up with, but feel free to ignore the measures. It will be a little different every time you make it, but always better than anything you can buy at the grocery store. I tend to use the max amount of jalapenos. Being from Texas, I like food that bites back. -- posted by Oh!Susannah

Jalapeno Cheese Dip

Mon, 12 Jan 2009 09:59:52 -0500

Thanks to Buster for sharing this recipe. This stuff is so easy and a guaranteed hit!! It sounds like a lot of jalapenos, but the peppers in a jar are really not very hot, and once they get in with the other ingredients, it really is not even hot. You can modify the heat by choosing the right kind of salsa for your taste. Serve with tortilla chips and/or veggies. Prep time is about 10 minutes, but I've included extra for chilling. -- posted by Kmac

Using a Vidalia Chop Wizard cuts down a lot on prep time. If you place the tomatoes in boiling water for about 10 seconds they will peel very easy. -- posted by Steph Doll

Roasted Tomatillo Salsa

Sat, 14 Feb 2009 15:51:39 -0500

I was searching for a good salsa verde recipe where you roast the tomatillos and found this on Epicurious website. I have made salsa verde where you don't roast them and the taste is very different. The roasting gives you more of a smoky flavor where the unroasted is more sweet and tangy I think. Note for Serranos: 1= Mild salsa 2= Medium salsa 3= Hot salsa 4= Very Hot salsa 5= Super Hot salsa -- posted by JFluckie

Bell Pepper Salsa

Tue, 24 Feb 2009 11:19:00 -0500

Not having a recipe for salsa (and having peppers that needed to be used), this was my 'making it up as i go' attempt that turned out well. Using a blender makes this super quick and easy to throw together. With the habanero I used, the salsa came out with a bit of a bite! This of course can change depending on your peppers, but if you'd like it tamer, I'm sure a jalapeno could be used instead. The flavour of the garlic is pronounced, so adjust to suit your tastes. The tequila isn't needed, but I like what it adds to the salsa. Goes well with cornmeal pancakes. -- posted by Chef #502819

All Purpose Green Tea Sauce

Mon, 13 Jul 2009 15:52:32 -0400

Found on islandteashop.com while I was searching for different ways to use the matcha (green tea powder) I just ordered for myself. The authors of the site suggest brushing it on pork loin or salmon before baking, using it as a dipping sauce for dumplings, or trying it as a salad dressing. I bet it would be great in other things, too. Easy and different, why not give it a try? :) Serving size depends on preference and what you decide to do with it; you'll want more for a dipping sauce, probably, than you would for a brushed-on glaze. -- posted by Lynne the Pirate Queen

Shellie's Chunky Homemade Guacamole

Sun, 19 Jul 2009 13:15:25 -0400

This is a recipe for guacamole that I created after discovering that I actually like guacamole after 42 years! Since then, I have been making it at least once a week without fail. I am addicted! I love my recipe because I like my guacamole with some texture, spicy, and with some cilantro and lime flavors. It doesn't take long at all and I don't measure out my ingredients, so you will just have to make yours to suit your own taste. The number of avacadoes is tricky...the sizes of them vary greatly and it also depends on how much you want to make. You can add more jalapeno to make it spicier, or leave some out to make it milder. Enjoy! -- posted by Chef #1307787

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

Salsa Del Diablo Rojo

This is an addicting red salsa with a hot aftertaste that kicks you right in the teeth! When prepared correctly, it has a restaurant style consistency, which is not too thick, and not too thin. -- posted by JasoFett

Best Buffalo Chicken Dip

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 10:23:21 -0500

Most buffalo chicken dips have too strong of a ranch flavor for my liking so I modified the recipe. I like to play with the ingredients a bit so feel free to modify to meet your tastes. You can use canned chicken but I prefer to bake my own or use leftovers. I even use leftover Thanksgiving turkey. -- posted by rubia

Cabbage Salsa

This is always one of my favorites when going to a Mexican restaurant. You can finely chop everything or leave in larger pieces, I've had it both ways and they are both excellent but chopping smaller just makes it easier to fit on your chips -- posted by Chef #601537

Don's Queso Dip

Wed, 30 Dec 2009 02:00:10 -0500

My dad started this recipe in our family. I grew up making it with my dad and after his death I have continued to make it. I have tweaked it to suit my family. Great to make for the Superbowl or a casual get together. All the spices are to taste. The measurements below are estimates, I rarely measure. Feel free to cut back on the Jalepeno if you don't like your food spicy. Also, instead of just plain ground beef, I have made it using left-over chili, just cut back on the spices then.Use more or less Milk to make cheese as thin/thick as you like, keep in mind the salsa will thin it out. You can use Pepper jack Velveeta if you cannot find the Mexican style. Also, leftover chili or 1/2 lb ground beef and 1/2 lb Chorizo instead of ground beef has had awesome results in my household, just cut back on seasonings. My mother likes to put this into a Crockpot to cook while she makes dinner. -- posted by Bekahbv

Perfect for any occasion! This creamy dip is fillied with flavor and spice! Given to me by a friend - I did not create this recipe, I would like to thank to that person if I could. This recipe is a big hit! You can make ahead and refridgerate, I'm sure you could also adapt for crock pot. -- posted by Chef #1533021

Buffalo Chicken Wing Dip

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 12:39:13 -0500

a great way to enjoy chicken wings without the mess. great served with celery or tortilla chips for dipping. I like to use a crock pot to keep this dip warm during parties, just mix everything up on the stove than transfer to the crock pot or you can use a electric fondue pot on warm too. If you don't want to use those then separate into small batches in oven safe dishes so you can keep the dip warm. Not sure where the recipe came from, everyone I know has their own spin for it. -- posted by Chef ChristinaMac

Sarah's Secret Recipe Refried Beans

Tue, 02 Feb 2010 09:11:43 -0500

I have been making this recipe for years. It is a very simple recipe and it always meets rave reviews. I prefer it with bacon fat (I'm the sort of person who keeps bacon drippings in a canister in the refrigerator), but if you don't have any on hand, or want to make this recipe vegetarian, it tastes almost as good with vegetable oil. Black beans are my favorite, but you can also make this recipe with nearly any other type of canned bean. I've used pinto, kidney, cannelli and even chickpeas. Use this as a dip or a filling for burritos. -- posted by SarahCKS

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

Hot Southwest Dip

This is a great dip served with tortilla chips. A hit with the DH and the children. If someone wants more spicy heat serve some of your favorite hot sauce on the side. -- posted by Daisy #3
