Addictive Mexican Stew

Tue, 29 Mar 2005 15:26:38 -0500

My mother gave me this recipe. She found it while clipping coupons. It is from S&W. This is the best stew I have ever eaten and my family requests me to make it quite frequently. It has become a "comfort food" for us. Perfect to make if you have leftovers after baking a large turkey or chicken. Can be made vegetarian or vegan if desired. -- posted by Rose's Granddaughter

"meat-Ralf" Makeover

Mon, 11 Sep 2006 19:20:22 -0400

I came up with this recipe while working at a small town restaurant. I hated even the idea of, as my mom calls it, "Meat-Ralf" but the owner wanted to add it to our menu. I set out on a mission to create an edible meatloaf. To the delight of our patrons it wasn't only edible it was delicious. Even my mom loves it. For a gourmet twist I substitute ground sausage with slices of Italian sausage links, also diced canned tomatoes and fresh basil leaves instead of tomato sauce. -- posted by ratherbecookin'

Pinto Bean Soup With Fresh Salsa

Sun, 03 Jun 2007 23:14:07 -0400

Despite its creamy taste, this simply prepared soup is surprisingly low in fat. A cantina cook might well make up a batch from the previous days leftover beans. It is the perfect antidote to a blustery day, and the fresh, sharp garnish contrasts nicely with the natural richness of the beans. -- posted by Witch Doctor

Lentils and Pork Coastal Style (Lentejas Costenas Con Puerco)

Mon, 16 Jul 2007 22:48:50 -0400

When I attended Univ. of the Americas in Mexico City during the '60's my Mexican "abuelita" who was from Merida used to make this. The flavors are stunning, the memories sweet. Hope you enjoy this! T.J. This recipe comes from The Complete Book of Mexican Cooking by Elizabeth Lambert Ortiz. -- posted by davinandkennard

Pat's Low-Fat White Chili

Mon, 25 Feb 2008 20:13:30 -0500

This is a great cold weather dinner. The basic recipe came from a South Beach Diet cookbook. Suggestions: Dress it up with all kinds of goodies like fat-free or low fat shredded cheese, fat free sour cream, salsa, cilantro, green chilies, jalapenos or tortilla strips. None of these really add any fat or calories to speak of. Tortilla strips are usually made by frying strips of flour tortillas for about 30 seconds in oil. I discovered that you can get a close second by spraying a cookie sheet with Pam, laying out strips of whole wheat tortillas, and spraying them again with Pam. Bake at 350 until lightly browned and crisp. Why whole wheat tortillas? They have a comparable calorie count to flour but the whole wheat takes longer to digest which lowers the calories stored as fat and adds additional fiber to your diet. Ive messed with this recipe a LOT. You can play with the ingredients to get a lot more soup. For example, Ive added the following, none of which really ups the calories enough to even mention; o More chicken broth o more salsa o Fresh lime juice o Roasted red peppers Let this be dinner along with a salad, sliced orange with chili powder and salt sprinkled on it, and baked whole wheat tortilla covered with melted fat free or low fat cheese and jalapenos or green chilies. -- posted by Chef #774395
