Camembert With Thyme Baked in a Box

Tue, 19 Jul 2005 17:18:08 -0400

This works really well with French camembert, which is strong and smelly. However, any brie/camembert type cheese that comes in a wooden box will do. Serve with crusty french bread & maybe some cold sliced meats (serrano/parma ham etc). -- posted by LilKiwiChicken

Marinated Greek Feta

Mon, 17 Oct 2005 20:42:06 -0400

I found this simple, super-quick-to-make recipe for Marinated Greek Feta in the November 2005 issue of the Australian magazine 'Super Food Ideas'.

No chocolate here. It's just called that way because they are shaped like fudge...cut up in small squares with pretty much the same consistency...only spicier and yummier. Got this from my mom (she got it from a Shriner's cookbook) From www.chiggerridge.com recipe collection -- posted by skymonkey

Kalamata Olive Tapenade (Spread or Dip)

Tue, 21 Feb 2006 14:53:27 -0500

This is a simple, versatile tapenade. It is best on warm focaccia or toasted slices of baguette, spread in a very thin layer. It is also terrific on sandwiches. Spread it on the inside of the bread before you make a grilled cheese (best w/cheddar) or a fresh mozzarella and tomato sandwich. It's also a good dip for baby carrots or just about anything else. I've used leftover tapenade as a sauce on pasta, as well. It's very rich and flavorful. This recipe keeps well and is a favorite at parties. -- posted by What's Cooking?

This is very similar to already-posted recipes, but with healthier ingredients. I experimented with my favorite no-bake cookie recipe and was delighted to find that there's almost no difference in taste!! I can't keep my hands off these! By the way, the dates I use are whole pitted dates, that I "dice" with a scissors. I'm not sure if the pre-chopped, flour coated version would work. -- posted by J-Lynn

Crab Salad on Endive Appetizer

Mon, 22 May 2006 19:30:57 -0400

These light and fresh bites don't require a fork and are easy to pick up and carry at a cocktail or dinner party and can be made a day or two in advance. Or reduce the recipe size for an endulgent lunch for yourself! Endive is a flavorful member of the lettuce family that serves as a natural and edible bowl for the crab salad. Look for small heads of endive with no wilting leaves and a bright color. The original recipe called for heavy cream, but that has been replaced with evaporated milk with the same results and less calories and fat. Silk tofu works as well, too, for added protein. -- posted by CutiePieHentai

basic onigiri (riceball) recipe.

These cookies are very yummy. They are crisp on the outside and alittle soft on the inside.

Herb Grilled Rack of Lamb

Tue, 14 Nov 2006 17:24:32 -0500

Quick and easy yet elegant grilled main dish. Herb measurements are approximate, and any of the savory , or mint family of herbs may be used. If you use fresh herbs, you can't go wrong. The only sin is to not use enough. If fresh herbs aren't available, you may substitute dried herbs, but reduce the quantities to 2-3 tsp. each. Frenched Lamb racks are available in vac packs most everywhere. If not, ask your butcher to french them for you. -- posted by Smoky Okie

Vietnamese-Style Fresh Spring Rolls With Salmon

Tue, 09 Jan 2007 16:13:54 -0500

A great way to use leftover cooked salmon! Serve these delicious fresh (not fried!) spring rolls with a spicy peanut dipping sauce. You can mix some peanut butter and hot chili paste with hoisin sauce, or look up a more sophisticated dipping sauce recipe. I used leftover salmon, which happened to be baked with cilantro butter - Feel free to use plain salmon or canned salmon. Make sure to use only fresh herbs and remember that practice makes perfect when it comes to the art of spring roll assembly! Kosher and gluten-free. -- posted by What's Cooking?

Gluten-Free Fried Mozzarella Sticks

Thu, 18 Jan 2007 16:44:13 -0500

Yes, Virginia, there is such thing as a gluten-free fried mozzarella stick that tastes just like the "real thing"! These are so very tasty. Many thanks to Zaar user "GlutenFreeGirl" for her input and help with this recipe. IF YOU'RE GLUTEN-FREE: Be sure to use a GF flour with a very fine consistency (no almond meal, corn meal, etc). "Recipe #201072" works perfectly. For bread crumbs, I used Ener-G's Fine Bread Crumbs - Other GF brands available include Miss Roben's, Gillian's Foods and El Peto. This is definitely a job for fine, dry breadcrumbs rather than fresh ones. If you can get your hands on gluten-free Italian flavored bread crumbs, then eliminate all of the herbs and spices that the recipe calls for. IF YOU CAN EAT GLUTEN: Just use regular breadcrumbs and regular flour (same measurements). Bon appetit! -- posted by What's Cooking?

Avocado Butter With Baby Shrimp Sandwiches

Tue, 13 Feb 2007 16:46:13 -0500

The easiest way to prepare this sandwich is to buy frozen cooked baby shrimp. Defrost them in the refrigerator overnight and drain before marinating. The cucumber slices are salted before using to draw out their juices, which would otherwise make the sandwich soggy. By Lucy Waverman for Food and Drink. Cook time is "resting" time for cucumbers. -- posted by ~Leslie~

Melissa's Baked Feta Cheese Dip

Fri, 16 Feb 2007 23:26:25 -0500

This is a staple in my apartment. I wash and reuse the dish I make it with more than any other dish in my apartment, I think. I picked up a liking for feta while in Greece during the summer of 2006. Don't be too heavy-handed with the onion powder, though. I like onion, but not so that it overpowers the feta. Great with a hearty bread and makes a good sandwich spread as well. -- posted by Chef #442800

This is a very elegant appetizer that the woman usually rant and rave about. I got this from Cooking Light and haven't found anything comparable. This must be served within 1 hour of making because the endive wilts very easily. If you use romaine maybe it would retain shape easier, although the endive has a unique taste. -- posted by Gal-a Gourmet

Snowball Potatoes (Gluten-Free) Revised

Mon, 19 Nov 2007 21:47:06 -0500

Snowball potatoes have a thin outer shell, creamy mashed potatoes inside and gooey melted cheese in the center. What a fantastic new way to eat mashed potatoes! I recommend pairing these with a nice beef entree with a buttery vegetable side. i got the idea for this recipe from Ingrid Hoffman's Snowball Potatoes. When I initially posted this recipe, I simply copied Ingrid Hoffman's recipe directions and only updated the ingredients, assuming that I had followed her directions. After a helpful review, however, I made them again and realized I had strayed much more from the original recipe than I thought! I certainly learned my lesson! I have posted a completely rewritten recipe exactly how I make them! (The directions are very long and detailed, but better safe then sorry!) -- posted by Emily Elizabeth

I got this recipe given by a friend who makes these every year for Christmas and for other occasions. I wanted to try a gluten free version for my daughter and they turned out great! They are super easy to make. They make take some time to make by forming the balls and then to dip them into the chocolate, but they are so worth it. I used 1 box of Arrowhead Mills Vanilla cake Mix and added about 1/4 Cup of Cocoa Powder to the batter to make it chocolate and it tasted fine.

Spicy Ham Asparagus Cheese Potato Roll Ups (Gluten-Free)

Sat, 14 Mar 2009 13:53:57 -0400

Came up with this out of the blue. My dad really liked them; he claimed the leftovers for his lunch the next day. I served these for dinner but I'm sure they would make a great appetizer. Would probably also be tasty with chicken used in place of the ham. -- posted by Andrew Mollmann

Oatcakes

Sat, 21 Mar 2009 02:29:28 -0400

This is my best attempt to duplicate Scottish oatcakes, which I had previously only had from a box (brands such as Nairn). 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. (Note: You may use up to 1 tsp. of salt, or no salt at all, as in the original.) -- posted by TapestryThreads

Chicken Liver Pate

Tue, 19 May 2009 01:45:15 -0400

This is from Tyler's Ultimate. I love pate, but I'm the only one in the house who will eat it, so up until now, I've never made it myself. This recipe looked so approachable for a normal home cook, that I decided I could do it. I hope you will too! Prep time is hands-on time, Cooking time is chilling in the fridge. -- posted by IngridH

This is an elegant way to serve meat and vegetables from the grill. You can adjust the spice to suit your preference- most will probably like this spicier than I do! -- posted by Shuzbud

Crab and Avocado Dip on Chips - Gourmet Style ;)

Thu, 06 Aug 2009 11:31:50 -0400

I found this appetizer recipe in a really cool blog about entertaining and it seemed soooo easy that i had to try it. I like that kind of cooking... super easy and simple but that you can also make it look gourmet. So i finally tried this for my cousin's bday and EVERYBODY loved it. They even asked me to do it again for our next gathering. I'm not sure about the servings, and it also depends on how much avocado and crab meat you put in each tortilla chip, so it's just approx. -- posted by Choco lover

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

Rosemary Rice Roll-Ups

Wed, 02 Sep 2009 23:57:34 -0400

Tofu sheets (also known as yuba or bean-curd/tofu skin) can be easily found in most Asian markets, in the refrigerated section - usually next to the tofu. They could probably be replaced by won-ton wrappers or other similar sheet. I recommend cooking the rice in advance, so you don't have to wait for it to cool. Very nice with a yogourt or sour cream based dip (ex. tzatziki). -- posted by Burgz

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
