Abita Beef Stew in a Crock Pot

Tue, 15 Dec 2009 11:27:42 -0500

I came up with this idea after deciding to make beef stew and then realizing I had no wine or tomatoes in the house. The beef comes out super tender and the broth is very flavorful. It's great with hot crusty bread. -- posted by CptShane

Christmas Chocolate Cookies - Nigella Lawson

Tue, 15 Dec 2009 22:36:58 -0500

These come out rather like a chocolate shortbread - a little on the sandy side. Be sure to let the glaze cool and thicken slightly or it will drip right off. Adapted from Nigella Christmas by Nigella Lawson -- posted by DrGaellon

Braised Wild Boar Back

Thu, 17 Dec 2009 12:25:43 -0500

This is a recipe I adapted from a German cookbook that we have. The original recipe required a pot that you can use in the oven, as we don't own one, I used a frying pan and a small roasting pan made some adjustments for the temperature. The back cut of wild boar includes the spine and some of the ribs connected to it so 2kg may sound like a lot of meat, however a lot of the weight is from the bones. The meat without the bones would be a loin cut. I served it with potato dumplings and salad, but it would be good with boiled potatoes and Rotkohl as well. You should use a roasting pan that isn't too much bigger than the cut of meat. -- posted by Tea Girl

Cranberry Muffins

Thu, 17 Dec 2009 20:45:22 -0500

This is a great breakfast and/or snack muffin! The yogurt keeps it extremely moist and the cranberries will keep you on your toes. The recipe can be halved and the finished muffins frozen. Please note that most of the prep time is slicing your cranberries! If you have a food processor, it definitely helps. -- posted by Rhapsodies

Ruth Reichl's Sweet Potato Pie

Fri, 18 Dec 2009 01:44:18 -0500

A simple and delicious pie from Ruth Reichl's memoir, "Comfort Me with Apples". It's great as is and is also a very flexible recipe that you can adjust to your preference. You can substitute brown sugar for white, omit the rum or use bourbon instead, or increase the vanilla or spices. Recipe can be doubled for a deep-dish pie. (The cooking time will be nearly doubled as well.) -- posted by blucoat

1200 Watt Microwave Peanut Brittle

Mon, 21 Dec 2009 16:49:17 -0500

Bravo to Love2Eats Peanut Brittle in a Jiffy #58383 - it got me started, but with the adjustments for my higher powered microwave and some flavor changes I thought I should write my own recipe. I can not say how much Love2Eats note about having everything measured out and ready to go was a life saver. I use an 8 cup pyrex measuring bowl with a handle as this mixture bubbles up and gets very hot (bowl gets very hot too) - it is MOLTEN SUGAR- if your work area is not right next to your sink - have a bowl of ice water in case of burns. THIS RECIPE IS FOR A 1200 WATT MICROWAVE. Oh yeah, I sorta faked it on how many this will serve - it is habit forming. -- posted by Sandy in Dayton

Holubsti--Ukranian Cabbage Rolls

Tue, 29 Dec 2009 00:45:38 -0500

I spent 18 months in central Canada, serving a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. While I was there, I fell in love with the people and the food, specifically Ukrainian and Filipino food. The cabbage rolls were my favorite, and when I returned to the US, I began searching for recipes, but could never find one that I liked. This recipe comes from me combining elements of two or three different recipes that I found. The resulting recipe is surprisingly easy--if a bit labor intensive. I included instructions to make a sauce, but, if you run out of energy, the stuff in a can works just as well. If I want to do a homemade sauce, I usually do it a day or so in advance., By omitting the meat, this can be a vegetarian dish. By also omitting the sour cream and using margarine instead of butter, it can be vegan. -- posted by CorianneW

Famous Fresh Blueberry Pie

Thu, 31 Dec 2009 02:47:59 -0500

I live in Florida and it is difficult to make a non-runny blueberry pie due to the humidity, but this recipe is perfect. I got this recipe through trial and error of 5 different published recipes. The filling is dense enough so that little loose liquid is present, but you still feel like you are biting into whole berries when you eat it. This fixed my problem of getting a pool of liquid in the bottom of my pie shell. I recommend using only fresh blueberries. Use a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate. Regarding the crust, the store-bought frozen crusts did not work properly for me. They either didn't bake on the bottom or resulted in an overflow of pie liquid into the bottom of my oven. I recommend the Pillsbury brand rolled pie crust dough found in the refrigerator section of the grocery store (by the biscuits/crescent rolls). These bake nicely, are easy to work with, and have an appropriate amount of moisture. Of greatest inspiration for the filling was from http://www.pickyourown.org/blueberrypie.php -- posted by MerryD

My Mom's Jamaican Style Carrot Juice

Sat, 02 Jan 2010 10:42:54 -0500

I've looked up several carrot juice recipes and none were quite the same as the one my mother used to make for us growing up. It's most popular in the Caribbean around the holidays and can double as an adult beverage with the addition of your favorite alcohol (namely rum or guinness). It has a milk base with spices like vanilla and nutmeg, so it's definitely not a carrot juice for those looking for health, but hey, there are carrots involved! Obviously you may need to double, triple or quadruple your recipe to make enough for several people, but I chose to explain it in relation to the blender's capacity, since a regular blender can't hold a 5 pound bag of carrots. -- posted by PunzeePuss

My family wants it to be a tradition for me to make this cake every Christmas from now on. I hope it turns out just as wonderful for you as it did for me! It takes time but it is well worth it.

Pasta With Smothered Onion Sauce (Marcella Hazan)

Tue, 05 Jan 2010 09:36:33 -0500

This is an easy, delicious, and simple recipe from "Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking" by Marcella Hazan. You just mix all the ingredients on the stove and come back and hour later. The onions get meltingly soft and sweet. It'salso great with some crumbled blue cheese. If you use homemade pasta, which is more absorbent than spaghetti, you should start with 1 tbsp more butter when making the sauce. TO MAKE AHEAD : You can cook the sauce entirely in advance up to the point where you add the parsley. When you are nearly ready to toss with the pasta, reheat the sauce over medium heat and add the parsley just before draining the pasta. -- posted by blucoat

Summer Vegetable Gratin

Tue, 05 Jan 2010 11:46:36 -0500

While this recipe calls for summer vegetables, my brother and SIL prepared it for Christmas dinner 2009 and I loved it. Good as a vegetarian main dish or a side. It's not quite the same as other vegetable gratins already on RecipeZaar. Personally, I would make this with less olive oil, the amount of which I specified in the ingredients, but you can use the original amount if you prefer (just convert teaspoons to tablespoons). This can also be made ahead after assembly and before baking. Just pre-heat the oven. Try to buy the zucchini and squash of roughly the same diameter. I might serve this with bread to soak up the juices. To make this vegan, omit the parmesan cheese. They found this recipe on America's TV test kitchen. -- posted by Kumquat the Cat's friend

Crockpot White Chili

Mon, 18 Jan 2010 22:05:43 -0500

This recipe comes from the book: "Make It Fast, Cook It Slow" by Stephanie O'Dea. It is a very tasty, not too hot chili that is just right for these cold winter days. I added little cubes (less than 1/2-inch) of 3 uncooked chicken breasts to this chili about half way through the cooking for a little more protein, as though it needs it. It didn't hurt one bit! The author says this is a soupy chili but I did not find it so. It has great flavor. She cautions that the beans sink while the corn floats. So you need to dig down to the bottom of the bowl to make sure you get beans in every bite. -- posted by Lorraine of AZ

Boeuf Aux Carottes (Beef Stewed With Carrots)

Tue, 19 Jan 2010 15:49:55 -0500

A classic French peasant dish, the long slow stewing with carrots and pearl onions gives the meat an unexpected sweetness. Stew beef would be traditional and may be substituted, but the short ribs give it an additional unctuousness from their gelatin. Bone-in is preferable, but the nutrition information comes up wrong, so I listed the boneless first. (This could also be adapted for the crockpot - brown the meat, deglaze with the wine, then combine with the veg, spices and stock in the slow cooker. Cook on low 6 hours, then add carrot coins and cook another 2 hours.) Adapted from a recipe by Kerry Saretsky at Serious Eats http://bit.ly/6W1Cqn -- posted by DrGaellon

I first had this at my aunt and uncle's, had never heard of split pea soup with anything other than ham in it. Loved this, I definitely prefer spareribs to ham in this soup! Boiling the ribs in the soup and then letting it simmer for hours leaves the meat more tender than the crockpot! As written, it was a bit bland for our tastes, we added an extra tsp of the hickory salt and will try adding more peppercorns next time (I couldn't even taste the pepper this time). I added one tsp of pepper to the leftovers and that seemed to help. -- posted by The Wallaces

Cauliflower and Potato Gratin (Russ Parsons)

Wed, 27 Jan 2010 00:52:38 -0500

A simple, satisfying vegetarian recipe than can be served as a holiday side dish or a or as a main the rest of the year. Do be sure to cook the cauliflower well to mellow the flavor. And make the white sauce a little thicker than you might think appropriate -- the cauliflower and potatoes will both give off some moisture while they bake. From the Los Angeles Times (December 23, 2009). -- posted by blucoat

Bread Pudding Ummm . . . Best Ever

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 09:55:00 -0500

I had never had Bread Pudding before I went to Vegas and had it at a buffet. Well, I fell in love. My obsession use to be chocolate, but since I've lost 52 lbs. I gave it up. NOW, my obsession has become THIS version of Bread Pudding. ( I have to be careful how much of this I make, so I don't gain all of that chocolate weight back!) I found this recipe on the "Momswhothink.com" website and I hope it is ok to post it here. This is true comfort food. Do not over bake or you will lose the eggy texture of the bread. The cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla are the key ingredients to the rich flavor of this dessert. I use french bread, and have even used dry bread that has been sitting around a few days. I even used wheat french bread once and it turned out great! The sauce is more a vanilla, butter, cream sauce. I usually make about 4 times (yes, that is what I said!) in order to smother the bread pudding. One recipe of it is just not enough. Ummm. Make the sauce while the pudding is baking and you will save time. You can also use a Hard Sauce if you would rather. (recipe # 102574 sounds like a good one.) Even if you have never tried Bread Pudding, be daring, and try it. I use to turn my nose up at it, and now, I cannot wait for an excuse to make it, again and again. Enjoy! -- posted by terriers2

Pork Chops With Hoisin and Lime

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 11:55:09 -0500

People seem to love my Slow-Cooked Korean Beef recipe (#367376), so here's another one I also adore. These pork chops are soooo delicious! I have made them both on the BBQ and on an indoor grill, and also both with thin and thick pork chops, and it is delectable every time. Recipe is based on one that appeared in Canadian Living. My family is addicted to them. -- posted by JacquelynLee

Chocolate Christmas Trees

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 19:11:27 -0500

Something I want to try next Christmas. These are little decorative (and edible) trees that can be stuck into cupcakes, cakes, or whatever you like. If you don't want to use toothpicks, the trees can be laid flat rather than standing up. I guessed at the number of servings. -- posted by *Kathy*

Slow Cooker Beef Stew With Guinness

Tue, 02 Feb 2010 11:07:08 -0500

The meat in this stew is the most tender I have ever had. This recipe is a combination of two that I put together, one which I liked the cooking technique and the other that I liked the flavor of. I would suggest testing your slow cooker to see if it cooks hot. Ours does, so 8 hours does it for optimal tenderness. My husband likes it served over plain egg noodles, but I prefer it by itself. -- posted by Chef #1249089

Fruit Pizza

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 12:20:16 -0500

Very appealing to the eye and even better; easy to make and fun to eat. A great way to celebrate fruit so have fun and mix and match. You can even have fun with the "crust," try using sugar cookie or even choc chip cookie dough instead of the pizza pie crust. No matter how you personalized this recipe it's sure to put a smile on everyones face! -- posted by Chef #1544785
