Marinated Mushrooms

Mon, 23 Jul 2007 21:55:16 -0400

Sourced from www.taste.com.au This recipe lists as serving 12 as finger food. Toothpick food really :) It's very easy to halve. I quartered my mushies as they were quite large. Preparation Time is marination time. I thought they were even better the next day with some hot crusty bread. Matt has also lightly grilled (broiled) them and was very happy with the results and prefers them like this. -- posted by Rhiannon&Matt.gauci

Punjabi Style Homemade Roti

Mon, 01 Oct 2007 19:45:11 -0400

Being an American, it took a LOT of time and hard work to accomplish the art of making roti (or chapati). But it is a very healthy and delicious flat bread. Enjoy! One thing you'll need to get started is a large non-stick skillet, some tongs for beginners -to prevent burning your hands, and a gas (open flame) oven is best. A rolling pin and a nice flat surface is necessary. -- posted by GIBride

Tue, 15 Jan 2008 00:50:17 -0500

You can skewer the meat for a meal, or cook seperately and serve with toothpicks for an appetizer. Prep time includes 2 hours of marinade time, you may want to do longer.

Salmon and Tuna Zingers

Fri, 25 Jan 2008 18:34:21 -0500

This is an adaptation of tuna salad sandwiches that is healthier, spicier, and slightly exotic. These measurements are aproximately what I used, but you can adjust and modify this to suite your tastes. If you do not like spicy leave out the chili oil. Also, the alfalfa sprouts are strong flavored so if you do not like their flavor, leave them out. Also, for an extra flavorful version, try with fresh boiled, baked, or grilled salmon and tuna instead. -- posted by Chef #501923

Easy Chicken Tacos (Low Fat if You Choose Soft Shell over Hard)

Sat, 26 Jan 2008 14:28:41 -0500

I try to avoid cooking with pre-made spices and sauces (some are better than others), so this recipe is based off my re-interpretation of all the good things a taco should be: spicy, tasty, moist, and most of all packed with delicious veggies; using chicken and what I can find in my pantry at a moments notice. You could even simply top a bowl of lettuce and tomatoes with the taco meat and eat it as a taco salad - that would be very low fat! -- posted by SuzanneThePainter

Another recipe I found on rampantscotland.com which is resourceful, easy, rich and makes a huge amount. Hope you enjoy this. This is the description of this on their web site. In the old days, when biscuits were sold loose, grocers sold mixed, broken biscuits at a lower price. This recipe was a good way of using them up and as a cake which requires no cooking, it can be easily made by the kids as well as experienced cooks.

Scottish Baps - Soft Morning Bread Rolls

Wed, 07 May 2008 19:35:43 -0400

These classic Scottish bread rolls are so easy to make - with only one kneading required. They are soft with a distinctive floured finish and are excellent for all manner of fillings, but especially bacon or cheese and salad. These baps are quite wide without much height, and they must only be baked for a maximum of 10 minutes in order to maintain their soft texture. Preparation time includes the proving and kneading time. They are best eaten on the day that they are made - they are delicious toasted the next day however. -- posted by French Tart

Ma'amoul

Mon, 12 May 2008 02:45:03 -0400

These are delicious arabic biscuits / pastries, they can be made with a variety of fillings, including pistachios, walnuts or dates. They are often eaten in the Middle East as a celebratory food, for example at weddings, the end of ramadan, rosh hosana, christmas, easter etc. They contain very little sugar so they are quite healthy. The pistachios are considered the most desirable fillings. Almonds also work quite nicely though. NB: The folding (step 3.) does get easier, you will see this once you work out how to do it!!! -- posted by chefsmall

Yorkshire Parkin - Sticky Oatmeal Gingerbread for Bonfire Night

Tue, 28 Oct 2008 16:39:04 -0400

A wonderful tradition from Northern England, in particular from the county of Yorkshire; this wonderful gingerbread is traditionally eaten on the 5th November which is Bonfire Night, also called Guy Fawkes night or Fireworks Night. There are many ways to make ginger parkin; this is my recipe for this deliciously, sticky and dark gingerbread with oats. This recipe is an egg free parkin, and I was always told that Parkin should NEVER contain eggs in it, whether that is true or not, I'm not sure! Try to plan ahead when you make this recipe, it is MUCH better when kept for 2 to 3 days before eating, as it become stickier and more intense in flavour. This keeps for up to 2 weeks in an airtight container and freezes well, if there is any left! I use jumbo porridge oats in my parkin, for a nice chewy texture - but any porridge oats or oatmeal will be suitable. Please note, if you make this with the suggested alternatives of corn syrup and molasses, it will not be quite the same flavour, but it should still be sticky! -- posted by French Tart

I don't know how they would compare to homemade oatcakes in Scotland or Ireland, although in my search for a recipe, I've found that there are many varieties, including sweet or yeast-leavened. This recipe is based on one I found in a Saturday Evening Post many years ago--which I adapted, lost, and then had to recreate from memory. However, I am quite pleased with the final result! Everyone seems to love them. I think they are traditionally served with cheese, butter, jams, etc. but we just eat them plain.

Brown Rice & Quinoa Sushi Rolls

I like to make vegetarian sushi rolls at home and have worked on perfecting a brown rice version. I came across a recipe online that added quinoa to the mix and I love it! Adds that extra bit of protein to make this a well rounded light meal, snack or appy. I've changed that original recipe a bit and have streamlined the cooking process (less dishes the better!). My kids like to help roll these up. I've included cucumber, carrot and avacado as filling...of course you can fill with whatever you fancy. This makes enough to fill 4 nori sheets, which you can cut into 6 or 8 pieces each. Enjoy! -- posted by magpie diner

This sandwich screams summer to me. I made it after going to the farmer's market and getting lots of fresh ingredients, including wonderful herbed ciabatta bread. If you don't like garlic much, just rub a clove on there (sliced to get the flavor. This is also delicious cold, or with a drizzle or balsamic vinegar on the tomato. For a slightly different (equally tasty, if you ask me) option, use havarti slices instead of mozzarella. Enjoy! -- posted by newmama

Dolma (Stuffed Grape Leaves), Iraqi-Style

This Middle Eastern dish is a family favorite. The blend of the spices coupled with the tartness of the lemon makes it out of this world. This recipe has been passed down in my family for many years. -- posted by AngieInMichigan

Rich Mallow and Honey Almond Fudge

Mon, 24 Aug 2009 10:31:39 -0400

Ive adapted this recipe from one I found on the Simply Great Meals website. The original recipe uses pistachios; Ive used honey-roasted almonds. Obviously, you could use whatever nuts you fancy or a mixture of several different nuts. Once youve melted your chocolate, butter and marshmallows, no more cooking is required. Great for lunchbox snacks, picnics and potlucks! For the best results, use top quality chocolate rather than cooking chocolate. Ive suggested Lindt, and if you choose one with orange or peppermint chips, youll add another subtle flavour. Ive wondered also about using a fruit juice instead of the water but havent tried this yet. The conversions you may need: 90g = 3oz; 250g = 8oz. -- posted by bluemoon downunder

Stuffed Grape Leaves

Fri, 09 Oct 2009 17:08:39 -0400

I didn't mark a "cuisine" for these, because they're a real Heinz 57! Dolmades are Middle Eastern/Greek, but these are my strange variation. Most people don't know, that you can pick your own grape leaves early in the spring, while they're tender, and just pickle them in water and vinegar - there's nothing special about the grape leaves you buy in the store. They reheat just fine in the microwave. -- posted by BritHans

Chickpea Fritters With Tzatziki Sauce

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 13:17:34 -0400

Delicious and you won't believe it's healthy! Vegans will want to skip the tzatziki (unless you sub soy-based plain yogurt), but to make it properly vegan these are also delicious with chutney and tamarind sauce-- and Recipe #396075. I had so much fun making these and I hope they get picked for Veg Swap 16! :D Egg-free and if you sub soy yogurt or skip the tzatziki, it's dairy-free. I am also pretty sure that besan is gluten-free but unsure about this claim. -- posted by the80srule

Bollywood Chicken Skewers With Spiced Yogurt Dip

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 18:15:35 -0400

Toasted Indian spices and lots of green herbs set these skewers apart. The spiciness of fresh jalapenos varies greatly, so take a tiny taste to gauge the heat, then adjust to your preference. The yogurt dip provides a cooling contrast. -- posted by College Girl

Bacon Caramels

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 11:25:40 -0500

Where would we be without salt? James Beard I casually sprinkled the thick-cut Hemplers bacon with cayenne before frying to a nearly blackened crisp. Once the caramel had reached its perfect molten temperature I stirred in a handful of the bacon then reserved the rest to get sprinkled on top. The caramel set beautifully. Some were cut and served as is while a select few were covered in tempered dark chocolate. All of them were devoured. from Not Without Salt Don't knock it til you try it.... -- posted by College Girl

Chocolate Marshmallow Fudge

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 23:55:02 -0500

Great recipe to use up a few leftover marshmallows and lighter than most! Feel free to throw in a few nuts at the very end. I usually cut these into 36 or even smaller, if you like a larger -- posted by Brooke the Cook in WI

Jewel Studded Holiday Fudge With Ginger and Cranberries

Tue, 01 Dec 2009 16:42:20 -0500

A delectable holiday fudge, which is the ultimate treat for anyone with a sweet tooth. This buttery, crumbly fudge is enhanced and made more festive by studding it with rich, jewel-like fruit. If you do not have stem ginger handy, you can use crystallised ginger or glace ginger instead. Making fudge the proper way involves using a sugar, jam or candy thermometer - or you can use the "soft ball" method if you do not have a suitable thermometer. Drop a small spoonful of the fudge into cold water, if it forms a malleable soft ball, the setting temperature has been reached. If you plan to make this fudge for gifts or to sell, pack the squares into attractive cellophane bags, glass jars or boxes and add a pretty ribbon as well as a label of ingredients. This recipe is part of my Old Fashioned Sweet Shop collection of recipes, sweets, candies, fudges, sugar plums and chocolates! -- posted by French Tart
