Marcy Goldman's World Famous Potato Pancakes Latkes

Thu, 17 Dec 2009 14:14:25 -0500

This latke recipe is from Marcy Goldman's new cookbook, "The 10th Anniversary Edition of A Treasury of Jewish Holiday Baking". It uses an unusual method - parboiling the potatoes first. These will be the lightest, crispiest and fastest potato pancakes you ever made! For kids or onion haters, use 1 teaspoon onion powder instead of the grated onion. Make these bite-size for a tender centre and crisp outside and use tongs for both putting the batter in the oil and taking the latkes out. -- posted by blucoat

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

Layered Chicken and Mushroom Bake

Fri, 18 Dec 2009 07:59:43 -0500

A delicious and moist combination of chicken, vegetables and gravy in a simple, one dish meal topped with crunchy slices of potato. The liquid from the mushrooms keeps the chicken moist and the potatoes help to mop up any excess juices. -- posted by English_Rose

Pierogie Casserole

Fri, 18 Dec 2009 16:19:05 -0500

This is one of the first recipes I learned while away at college. Its a very simple side dish or main course. And great to take for a potluck dinner. This recipe freezes nicely and the leftovers are wonderful the next day. If you want, you can sauté onions in some butter and serve on the side. I would recommend using an 8x8 casserole dish and trimming the lasagna noodles to fit, but you can certainly use a 9x13; just add an extra sheet of lasagna to each layer. Enjoy!! -- posted by coffybean

Bacon Cheddar Potato Tart (Michael Smith)

Fri, 18 Dec 2009 17:01:01 -0500

This recipe is by a Canadian chef who I really like - Michael Smith. It contains only 3 ingredients (plus S & P!) and it's gorgeous to look at! Easy to make and would be great for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner. It's not the healthiest thing to eat - it's just good ol' comfort food. It takes a long time to cook, so plan ahead. Enjoy! -- posted by Nif

Cauliflower and Shells With White Cheddar Dill Sauce

Tue, 22 Dec 2009 10:52:28 -0500

There is an amazing website here in Richmond, VA called Black Sheep (MUST GO IF YOU'RE LOCAL!). They currently have seasonal side dish that inspired this copy-cat recipe for my family's Christmas dinner - with no baking necessary. I have pretty exotic taste buds, but my two brothers and father have a diet that consist of tacos, hot wings, pizza, burgers and steak - NO VEGGIES. This is a gourmet and delicious way to sneak them into a meal that usually consists only of meat and potatoes ... -- posted by Susan 0485

Vegetarian Tourtiere

Mon, 28 Dec 2009 07:01:28 -0500

Vegetarian Tourtiere By The Canadian Living Test Kitchen I was serving tourtiere for Christmas this year and didn't want DD to be left out. This is the version I made for her. I've included the recipe for a delicious sounding crust but I cheated and used a commercial pie crust. It uses TVP, or textured vegetable protein, which is a dried soy product available in granules or chunks that, when cooked, resemble the texture of ground meat. Look for it in the health food section of grocery stores. -- posted by Dreamer in Ontario

My "stuffed" Peppers Casserole

Tue, 29 Dec 2009 01:55:24 -0500

This recipe is basically like my stuffed cabbage recipe. The "stuffing" is the same, as is the sauce. I don't like green or any color, peppers so I make my stuffed peppers casserole style. That way I use less peppers and can remove them from my serving. -- posted by Nana Lee

This is not your same-old, same-old chicken dish. Take a simple wine-based pan sauce - layered in the flavors of sweet Marsala, hickory-smoked bacon, woodsy wild mushrooms, rich and creamy butter, a spritz of lemon juice to add a pleasing hint of acid - Spoon it over tender, moist chicken breasts and you have a dish that will liven up a routine mid-week meal or impress your favorite weekend dinner guests. Serve over thin spaghetti and round out with warm, crusty Italian bread, a fresh green salad, and a glass of your favorite white wine. -- posted by Feast Your Eyes!

Loch Lomond Rumbledethumps

Sat, 02 Jan 2010 10:17:37 -0500

During Christmas, we were on holiday in Scotland. I asked my mother-in-law, "Have you ever made a dish called "rumbledethump? They're talking about it on a website. (Zaar)" She laughed and said, "That old thing! We ate it as kids and when newly married! I haven't made it in years!" She explained that if you asked a 100 Scottish women to make this dish, you'd come up with 100 variations. Some use onions, some use chives. Some boil their cabbage, some fry it. Other's add turnips or parsnips or carrots. But however you make it, this is Comfort Food at it's highest elevation. I watched her make it from scratch, took notes and asked questions. The end result is her version, which comes from the Loch Lomond area of Scotland. What I love about this variation is the great contrast between the tangy tomato topping and the incredible richness of the cabbage/onion/potato filling. Top it with cheese and you have some of America's favourite flavours: tomato, cheese and potato. I should know: I ate three pieces the first time that I ate her version! So, from Scotland to America, here is my Mother-in-Law, Mary McFadden's, Rumbledethump recipe. ****I have changed the measurements from metric to U.S. sizes and also used potatoes and cheese that are easily found in the U.S. -- posted by The_Swedish_Chef

Creamy Butternut Squash and Spinach Gratin

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

Tex-Mex Filling

Tue, 05 Jan 2010 12:42:09 -0500

This is an evolved recipe. I started with a recipe for cinnamon lime fajitas, but I'm not keen on the potatoes. I didn't have peppers; but I do have cabbage...Look, a recipe for fajitas using cabbage! But it's raw and it's winter....nahhh. This is what I came up with & as weird as it sounds, it is delicious! At least to us - everybody, even THE PICKY ONE, loved this. No leftovers for the 4 of us but it's easily doubled. It says 8 tacos because that is the yield I got with corn tortillas. Please remember that flour tortillas are often bigger & will need more filling. I hope someone else enjoys this, too! -- posted by Elmotoo

I modified a recipe in The Joy of Cooking to make this, which suited our tastes better (and used things I actually had in the house!). I think this would even be a hit with people who don't usually like cabbage. For the "milk or light cream" I used 1/2 cup skim milk and 1/2 cup fat-free half-and-half. I actually used a bag of cole slaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots) for the cabbage, so this was REALLY quick to make! -- posted by mayness

Extreme Vegetable Goodness

Beyond good. Prepping the vegetables takes a while but then it's virtually hands-free with spectacular results. You'll be glad you made this. This will serve 8 as a side-dish, 4 or 5 as a main course. -- posted by evelyn/athens

Chicken, Red Wine and Bacon Casserole (Oamc)

This can be frozen for up to three months. To ensure the chicken remains succulent, defrost slowly in the fridge and reheat gently. Add a handful of chopped parsley before serving and accompany with mashed potato and a green vegetable, such as peas. -- posted by English_Rose

Red Kubbeh Soup

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 10:05:25 -0500

Kubbeh is a small pocket of dough that is stuffed with ground beef. Kubbeh for soup is usually boiled, whereas Kubbeh served on a platter is fried. Grocery stores in Israel and increasingly in the United States offer frozen packages of Kubbeh that are ready to drop into a vegetable soup. Enjoy this traditional recipe for kosher Kubbeh Soup, or Marak Kubbeh in Hebrew. I found MirJ has a great Kubbeh recipe, Recipe #26755 or you can use frozen store bought kubbeh. If you are counting calories add 260 calories per Kubbeh ball -- posted by Abba Gimel

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

Laurel's Potato Soup

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 11:58:35 -0500

Rich, creamy and addictive low-fat, low-sodium potato soup. I was trying to recreate the soup from the deli without its punishing 28 grams of fat and way too much sodium. This soup is named after my daughter, who requested it :-) -- posted by summerbabies

Vegan Dlt (Dulse, Lettuce, and Tomato) Sandwiches

Tue, 09 Feb 2010 16:02:08 -0500

Dulse is a delicious and very nutritious sea vegetable. Its salty flavor and crispy texture make it an excellent substitute for bacon in this sandwich with much less sodium and fat than the "real" thing. -- posted by Prose
