Chicken Cacciatore

Sun, 17 Jan 2010 11:35:03 -0500

This is out of the 2002 edition of KCTS Chefs cookbook. It was sent in by Executive Chef Chris Tess from Mama Stortini's Ristorante Restaurant. I decided to make this a 2 serving dish instead of 1 based on the calorie and fat count along with the huge restaurant amounts that are normally served. My only change was cutting the 8 oz chicken breast into 2-4 oz size. The rest of the ingredients stayed the same. -- posted by TeresaS

Sun, 17 Jan 2010 22:28:08 -0500

Fall-proof, finger-lickin' good chicken couldn't be any easier than this three-ingredient recipe that's so full of flavor, you'll be tempted to double it even without company coming!

Baked Salmon With Horseradish and Walnuts

Mon, 18 Jan 2010 01:56:33 -0500

This is based on a recipe that was featured in the Kenosha (WI) News. The recipe is from the Twin Oaks Country Inn in Wilmot, WI. I made a few changes based on my preferences and things I had available. For example, the original recipe called for breadcrumbs, but I used crushed walnuts. I also made changes to the sauce so that it would be dairy-free. Other changes were more minor - red balsamic vinegar instead of white, horseradish sauce instead of fresh, lime juice instead of lemon, etc. It is surprisingly easy and very tasty. -- posted by cathianne

Blackened Indian Salmon

Tue, 19 Jan 2010 16:46:58 -0500

This is a dry-rubbed Salmon recipe with a nice bit of heat and curry-like flavor, without the need for a heavy sauce. Delicious and relatively healthy. The key to making it great is finding a THICK piece of Salmon. The spice rub is very intense, so you don't want the crust to cover too much surface area. -- posted by Pangaea

Sliced Fish With Chinese Broccoli on White Rice

Tue, 19 Jan 2010 17:16:15 -0500

One of my favorite Chinese dishes at a restaurant in New York Citys Chinatown, is their Sliced Fish and Chinese Broccoli over rice. You can also order this dish with American broccoli, tofu or string beans. It is not a very expensive fish dish and has tasty soy sauce flavorand just right for one person. In this simple-to-make recipe I have added some ginger and serving for two people. Here is my take on this wholesome fish dish. -- posted by Skipper/Sy

(Lighter) Cottage Pie

Thu, 21 Jan 2010 13:24:30 -0500

In the winter cold, I always feel like heavy, stodgy comfort foods, but I know that I'll regret them when summer comes and none of my clothes fit. This cottage pie is a healthier version of the popular British dinner, which uses lean ground beef, and skim milk and margarine in the potato topping to cut calories. I serve it with carrots and peas. -- posted by Chef #601730

My Stir "fry" (Low Fat, Low Sodium)

Thu, 21 Jan 2010 14:17:19 -0500

Not authentic! but does have an Asian flavor. I love stir fries but wanted something that works with my eating plan. Though I am still experimenting with this, here is my current version. It does not make extra sauce but is somewhat dry, because I don't eat it with rice. I lightly steam the veggies (sometimes I add chicken) in water or broth and then give them a very quick fry in a small amount of oil. The veggies are only suggestions - use what you like. If you are not concerned with sodium content, feel free to add more soy and/or peanut sauce. -- posted by coconutty

Monday Supper! Curried Lamb and Chutney Rissoles/Patties

Mon, 25 Jan 2010 11:13:25 -0500

A tasty and different way to use some of the Sunday Roast leftovers on Monday! Although I have specified lamb in this recipe, beef would also work very well, it's just that I had roast lamb leftovers when I made these. These rissoles are lightly spiced and tangy - perfect for supper when served with salad, pickles, chutneys and maybe a naan bread or pitta bread to make a sandwich. They are easily made and can be prepared ahead of time and left in the fridge, as they hold their shape better when they have been chilled and are firm. These will also freeze very well; open freeze them before frying on a tray or plate until firm and then pack them into freezer bags or a plastic container. They only need about 6 hours to defrost and then are cooked as instructed below.Use curry powder to taste, I use 2 teaspoons as I like mine quite spicy! -- posted by French Tart

Full of Flavor Taco Chicken

Mon, 25 Jan 2010 11:34:17 -0500

This recipe is my boyfriend's absolute favorite dinner that I make. I gave the recipe to my parents and they've made it twice in one week and my dad doesn't even like tacos!!! I usually just buy the hard shell taco kit because the seasoning is already included. It's so juicy and full of flavor, you'll love it!!! I list my portions for 2 so just multiply if you are serving for more people. Even though I have an accounting degree it's always easier to multiply ingredients than divide :p -- posted by KeLynn

Inexpensive (But Tasty) Imitation Seafood Bake

Tue, 26 Jan 2010 12:07:05 -0500

I love crab and lobster but I don't have the budget for it - so I have started buying imitation crab and lobster when it is on sale. I was playing around with it tonight and I really liked the result. I think you could make some changes to suit your tastes - but this was a good starting point for me. It started as a variation of creamed chipped beef and ended up here. I hope you like it. I think this would double pretty easily, but probably you would need larger pans. -- posted by Mama Wendy

Chicken Paillard (For the Toaster Oven)

Wed, 27 Jan 2010 01:49:10 -0500

Paillard is an old cooking term which just refers to meat that is pounded thin, then cooked quickly.

Butter and Herb Chicken Wings

Wed, 27 Jan 2010 09:27:47 -0500

This is a common choice in NNY next to hot wings. It is very buttery and has a great flavor. The seasoning is sometimes difficult to find. A substitute is one of McCormick's seasonings. I submit this for a helping of six wings, but it can be multiplied easily. -- posted by Chef #1437667

Roasted Pork Chops With Caramelized Quince

Fri, 29 Jan 2010 18:01:23 -0500

This is a meal suitable for a cool, autumn dinner. The pork chops turn out moist and savory and pair nicely with the sweet and somewhat tangy flavor of quince. I like to eat a slice of quince with each bite of pork chop, as the combination reminds me of harvest season. If you are unable to find quince, two large apples would substitute well (any tart variety such as Macintosh, Granny Smith or Cortland). -- posted by MarthaStewartWanabe

Solo Chicken Mushroom Pilaf

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 10:03:52 -0500

There is usually just enough flavorful liquid in the final dish to prompt me to eat this with a spoon. The natural flavoring of the mushrooms is similar to MSG and when paired with the sweetness of sauted onions, that was enough flavor for me. However Cooking is a Creative Sport, so feel free to add spices. -- posted by Bill Hilbrich

In a pathetic attempt to make eggplant parmigiana, I created this instead. It's very easy and uses basic ingredients that are probably already in your kitchen. I've made it about a dozen times in the past few months and my husband loves it. It's a very flexible recipe and I've tried it a few different ways already and it always tastes great and surprisingly like pizza. Goes well with any pasta dish or risotto. -- posted by California Girl in Brazil

Easy Hearty Chili

Thu, 04 Feb 2010 16:14:17 -0500

This is a hearty chili without tomato chunks. If you prefer chucks of tomato in your chili use diced tomatoes instead of tomato sauce. This is just enough for a lunch for my husband, our toddler, and myself, but if we need a bit more I'd go to the 22 oz size of tomato sauce and or beans. Do not leave out the salt since the little bit really brings out the other flavors. IF you making a large pot to have left overs leave out the salt since chili always gets saltier as it stores. I started with another chili recipe I found here, but we made several modifications so I am posting it as is. -- posted by Vyrianna

Wisconsin Badger Burger

Sat, 06 Feb 2010 21:05:05 -0500

This should be the "State Burger of Wisconsin"!!! I had one of these at a roadside family restaurant/bar & grill in northern WI, a couple years ago.It was GREAT!!! I've tried to replicate it & I think I'm pretty close. If you can't find bratwurst patties, remove the casing off of an uncooked bratwurst link & make a pattie out of it.(This is for just one burger) -- posted by Ackman

Fresh ginger and salmon are a great match, and make a super-healthy meal when paired with a leafy green vegetable such as spinach, arugula or watercress. -- posted by English_Rose

Easy Thai Green Curry

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 10:35:24 -0500

This is one of my favorite curry recipes. It is incredibly easy but tastes like it took hours to make. It's a great starter curry for anyone looking to venture into the world of curry cookery for the first time. This is a versatile recipe; I've made it with both chicken or red meat, so I leave the meat choice up to the chef. -- posted by SarahCKS

Beer & Stilton Stuffed Beef Wellington

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 11:41:55 -0500

This recipe was designed around two of my favorite things, beer and Stilton. I opted to use Dogfish Head's World Wide Stout as I really like the way it pairs with the cheese, but any sweet strong ale (Belgian Strong, Barleywine, etc.) would work. Likewise, the cheese is the same thing. I love the Colston Bassett Stilton, but any strong bleu would fit the bill. -- posted by Pangaea

This manicotti is not your traditional manicotti. Using different cheeses and molasses in your filling, takes you to a whole different world -- posted by Ninu Dalal
