Lentil-Potato Salad

Wed, 02 Sep 2009 02:54:10 -0400

From Rachel Ray 30 minute meals. This is a wonderful cool weather main dish or side dish. Very flavorful and very good for you. It may sound odd but the flavors are spectacular! I found I had to salt fairly liberally, and because we like heat I added some fresh jalapeno to the saute mixture. Really fabulous give it a try! -- posted by Peacefulone

A great way to get anyone to eat Kale! Addictive and unusual, and just.... really good! I saw this tip in a womens magazine, and the description as "addictive" persuaded me to try it. Kale be addictive? COME ON! We made a batch and when it was gone in 10 minutes, I knew it was a hit. Just try it! -- posted by The Jelly Room

Party Spinach

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 01:06:30 -0400

Swiss Chard Curry

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 11:08:54 -0400

A very hardy curry dish the whole family loved even though i'm usually the only one who likes swiss chard or curry. The recipe came from the Saskatoon Sun. I used canned chick peas rather than dried and added yams. I never had fresh ginger so I used ginger powder. Havn't tried it with the yogurt either. -- posted by Tilden

California Mushroom Tart

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 11:49:32 -0400

A meatless main course or delicious side. Or cut in smaller slices as an appetizer. Uses humble, button mushrooms. Looks tricky, but is very simple once you have the veggies sliced. Depending on your cheese, you may want to use a different herb than basil. Note: do not try to substitute frozen spinach for fresh - it will be too wet, and make your tart soggy. -- posted by dianegrapegrower

Spinach and Mushroom Tamale Filling

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 13:15:59 -0400

For years I'd tried to find a spinach tamale filling similar to one I've tasted in restaurants, to no avail. Finally, I decided to make my own and this recipe has proved every bit as delicious as what I tasted in restaurants - this filling is so very good! Use your favorite prepared masa to make it into tamales, or mix your own. (Time does not include making the filling into tamales.) -- posted by Julesong

Lambs Quarter (Quelites) and Beans

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 13:29:09 -0400

"Quelites" is a Spanish word for "wild greens." We like to cook with edible weeds, and lambs quarters fall into this category. You can look online for more information about how to identify this plant, which you can use much like you use spinach. If you live in the midwestern United States, you probably have these growing in your yard. I'm not sure where my husband got this recipe, but I like it. -- posted by MarieL

Butternut Squash Coconut Curry

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 13:45:00 -0400

This was inspired from the lovely little butternut squashes at the Farmer's Market last week. I used my recipe: recipe #84474 as a base, switched the sweet potatoes for butternut squash, and added a can of coconut milk, and came up with this! I did take the time to toast and grind whole cumin and corriander, but feel free to use the already-ground versions of these spices as well. Also, roasting your butternut squash with some salt pepper and curry powder brings a wonderfully deep and carmelized flavor to your curry -- posted by Kozmic Blues

Mon, 28 Sep 2009 14:58:08 -0400

Greek flavor with a Southern twist. I love Southern-style creamed spinach, but I also love the combination of spinach and feta found in Greek cookery. This recipe pulls it all together. You could really dress this up by topping with buttered breadcrumbs and baking until the top is crunchy. -- posted by KissKiss

Fresh Herb and Cheese Sauce

Tue, 29 Sep 2009 11:37:55 -0400

The recipe calls for Chervil, a herb similar to parsley. I didn't have either, so actually used some fresh sage, which was lovely! I prepared this sauce to accompany Recipe#328329, by chef#925731. This sauce recipe comes from the "Pasta Cookbook", published by Merehurst Press, original title, "Nudeln". From Zaars Kitchen Dictionary: CHERVIL: The leaves and root of this parsley family herb are edible and have a mild anise flavor. The leaves are a curly and dark green. Chervil is one of the main ingredients in Fines Herbes. Ingredient Season: available year-round How to store: Chervil does not dry well, so it is best when used fresh. How to prepare: Use like parsley, though most flavor is lost when boiled. Matches well with: asparagus, carrots, cheese, chicken, eggs, fish, peas, potatoes, salads, sauces, soups, spinach, tomatoes, veal, venison Substitutions: parsley or tarragon -- posted by Karen Elizabeth

El Torito Southwestern Caesar Salad

Wed, 30 Sep 2009 01:12:55 -0400

El Torito Restaurant's Caesar salad has been a popular favorite for decades; I obtained the recipe in 1994 when it was published in the Los Angeles Times and have made it many times since. The recipe contains some Mexican ingredients such as pepitas, which are roasted pumpkin seeds, avilable at Trader Joes, as well as at Mexican markets. The cotija cheese ia a Mexican grating cheese. If not available use any hard grating cheese such as Parmesan. -- posted by lynnski / LA

Hummus and Vegetable Focaccia Sandwich

Mon, 12 Oct 2009 13:51:20 -0400

The convenience store in my dorm has sandwiches similar to this one every once in a while, and on my life they are the best vegetarian sandwiches I've ever had! Even the meat-lovers I know live and die for these things. They're very easy to make, and are great served at any temperature -- so you can easily stick one in the fridge for devouring later. -- posted by Alexander Mar

Veggie Green Drink

Wed, 14 Oct 2009 14:19:56 -0400

I came up with this one night after a long drive from New York to Philadelphia. All I had eaten were french fries, so I was desperate to get some greens into me fast! This drink took care of the craving right away. The stevia helps to blunt the harsh taste of the veggies. If you want to make it a soup, use less water and perhaps add some spices instead of the stevia. Also, the yogurt can easily be omitted if you are vegan or have dairy issues; just use less water, -- posted by Jainene

This is Chef floWers version of Spinach Gomae. It's a side dish I often ordered at my favourite Japanese restaurant (before it closed down.) I found a visual version on you tube and since I couldn't find a recipe on www.recipezaar.com I thought I would add it to Zaar's collection.

This soup is served at the Taste of History restaurant at Greenfield Village in Dearborn, Michigan. I found this recipe on a recipe card on display inside the restaurant. You can substitute spinach for the dandelion greens if they are not available. I usually add more vegetable stock (about 2 to 4 cups) and more corn. Dried herbs can substitute for the fresh--use 4 teaspoons dried basil and 2 teaspoons dried oregano. -- posted by doobtones #2

Sneaky Chef Green Juice

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 23:48:00 -0500

This can be used to boost nutritional value for lots of recipes! Use in chocolate pudding, milk shakes, green icings, casseroles, etc. Green juice is an extremely nutrient dense food. One tablespoon is equivalent to eating 1/4 cup of spinach leaves. It contains iron, calcium, and enzymes for digestion, as well as chlorophyll and carotens for disease fighting power. And just think, your kids, husband, guests, etc. won't even know! :) This recipe was gleaned from The Sneaky Chef cookbook by Missy Chase Lapine. -- posted by Sharon123

Vegan Spinach-Mushroom Quiche

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 09:56:11 -0500

My friends and family are always getting on me to publish my recipes; I don't really use them, nor do I regularly remember even what I put into my dishes. I took this dish to a vegan potluck last night, and it disappeared in seconds. This morning I was awoken at gun point (exaggerated for dramatic effect) to post this recipe.... So, I thought it wise of me to comply. This recipe takes me about an hour of prep time, and about an hour to cook. There are shortcuts one may take to cut down on the prep time, but the first time, I suggest leaving ample time to prepare. I have used a variety of nuts for this recipe, all working out well (this last time I ran out of sesame seeds, so I used 2 tbsp of my tamari roasted pumpkin seeds, and 1 tbsp of raw pecans). I also like to make my dishes gluten free for potlucks, so I used ½ cup of blue corn meal, and ½ garbanzo flour in place of the whole wheat pastry flour, the taste was amazing, but a little more crumbly then whole wheat pastry flower. Finally, I really recommend using sesame oil, but realizing it is expensive, olive oil will work. -- posted by Starvin' Vegan

Grilled Fig & Arugula Salad With Gorgonzola Toasts

Sat, 05 Dec 2009 12:10:15 -0500

From Cooking Light's special on Monticello-inspired recipes. This looks like it's too fancy and complicated for me to make, but looks delicious if someone else would make it for me! ;) Or if you have an actual grill; I live in the ghetto and could put a holey trash can lid over the stove. I don't know what "peasant bread" is but I assume it'd be a small baguette type of bread. I'm not a fan of balsamic vinegar, I'd probably use red wine vinegar or a different kind of dressing, but posting as is for those who like it. BTW, you'll need at least 6 grilling skewers for this. Probably strong 8" metal ones that could pierce figs. I wonder if I could make this work with a portable George Foreman grill! -- posted by the80srule

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

Mon, 04 Jan 2010 17:38:37 -0500

I just got back from a quick trip to Miami, Fla. and had something very similar to this at a restaurant called Captain's Tavern. It was so good, I had to try to find the recipe. Here's one gleaned from Gourmet magazine, Nov. 2006 via Epicurious. Enjoy! This is one big casserole, but at the restaurant it was in individual dishes. You may add the cheese between each layer or just use it to top, or leave it out if you prefer! On the website, this has 92 wonderful reviews! this is even better the next day. You can half this recipe and cook in a 9x9" pan. This is so good, serve to company and for the holidays. This recipe calls for slicing raw squash but to make it easier to cut, microwave for 3-5 minutes, or lightly steam or bake and then cut in pieces. The recipe says it will serve 8-10 people but some said it served 12! -- posted by Sharon123

Cabbage With Caraway

Tue, 12 Jan 2010 17:23:29 -0500

This is my mother's recipe - I don't know where she got it from. It is a great way to cook cabbage, which leaves it slightly crunchy and tasting delicious. Nothing like the awful boiled cabbage you remember from school! Cabbage is very good for you, as it contains anti-oxidants, vitamin C and all sorts of other things. Try this as a vegetable with chops or burgers and plain boiled potatoes. You can use leftover cabbage and potato to make Bubble and Squeak. -- posted by SarahEmmm

Victorian Watercress Tea Sandwiches for High Tea and Picnics

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 10:20:30 -0500

During Victorian times, children used to take watercress sandwiches to school in place of meat ones. I love them, especially when cut into small trianges and served with a cuppa (cup of tea!). Use the freshest bread - I like to use wholemeal, and a fresh salted farmhouse butter. I have inlcluded a soup idea at the end of the recipe, to be made with the excess stalks! So a soup and sandwich recipe then! -- posted by French Tart
