South Louisiana Chicken and Sausage Gumbo (No Okra!)

Thu, 15 Aug 2002 18:42:12 -0400

Growing up in Louisiana, My momma called her version of this the poor mans gumbo. I have taken the liberty to make a few changes, such as using boneless-skinless chicken breasts instead of the whole chicken. Be careful with the Roux, if it burns you best start all over. It will get smoky in the kitchen, so be sure to open a few windows. This recipe takes some time but it is well worth it. If you have any left overs, this is something that is better the second day. Freezes well too. -- posted by Missy Wright

Chicken and Rice

Fri, 23 Aug 2002 22:28:54 -0400

I think this chicken and rice recipe is a favorite to my family because of the onion soup mix that is sprinkled on top. It gives the dinner a little 'zing'. Much different than the other chicken and rice dinners I've made. Even better because it's so simple to make. -- posted by jen k

Chicken Gumbo

I found this recipe on the back of a can of chicken gumbo soup can in the 60's. My 3 children love it ,and now make it for their kids. I serve it with mashed potatoes,& the gravy it makes is yummy on the potatoes. I'm sorry I don't remmber the prep time -- posted by Chef 920429

Caribbean Chicken Curry

Fri, 30 Aug 2002 18:31:42 -0400

This is a quick and easy way to make chicken curry that's not too spicy. You can still adjust the spices to suit your tastes or add different vegetables. If you like a more tomato based gravy, add chopped tomatoes. I very often add sliced green beans to this dish. -- posted by Ranikabani

South African Curried Lamb Casserole with Raisins & Almonds

Thu, 19 Dec 2002 20:08:01 -0500

In South Africa, curried ground lamb, bread soaked in milk, almonds, raisins and bay leaves fashioned into a kind of flat meat loaf is described by some as a collision of Dutch and Malayan pantries. Next time you crave meat loaf, try this version. From "Home Cooking Around the World." Very good served with shredded carrot salad. -- posted by Miss Annie

Black Eyed Peas With Rice

Fri, 17 Jan 2003 20:05:02 -0500

This is a nice southern dish that you can use as a side dish or as main course. Smoked sausage or bacon can be used in place of the hamhocks if you so desire. Serve the beans and meat over rice. This is known as Southern Caviar and is eaten on New Year's Day. The black-eyed peas represent luck and the cabbage represents money. You can use fresh, frozen, or canned black-eyed peas in place of the dried beans, which shortens the cooking time for a quicker version of this recipe. -- posted by southern chef in louisiana

This recipe was originally posted by Zenith, who is no longer active at Zaar. She was a wonderful chef, however, so when her recipes went up for adoption I grabbed as many as I could.

A good recipe I got from a Justin Wilson cookbook. I didn't change much just tweaked a few things and halved the recipe, so it's pretty true to his recipe. This is nice and mild, not a lot of spice so my wife likes it. I have to add at least a tsp of Tabasco to each bowl though. I hope you enjoy it. -- posted by Kevin Young

All American County Fair Prize Winning Chili

Wed, 26 Mar 2003 20:03:32 -0500

After my five roommates and I have this for dinner I am still left with about 30 to 40 individual servings in the freezer. This chili freezes perfectly. I make this up once every 6 months and the last bag tastes just as good as the day I made it! Before sharing this recipe I had to think long and hard because it truly is my most prized and coveted recipe. It took me years of playing around and it's just near perfect. If you win at the county fair all I ask for is honorable mention, a picture of the ribbon, a postcard from your town, and maybe your favorite pie recipe! Be sure to load it up with cheddar, sour cream, bread and nacho chips!! Also great for chili dogs!! -- posted by Lottidawe

Use whatever cheese you prefer.. If you do not like spicy then use a milder salami. This recipe was posted in our local TV Guide - I changed a couple of ingredients and measurements. The garlic is optional. It is a neat authentic version of an Italian pizza and I think very very good. You can cut very small slices and serve this as an appetizer (would serve 12) or have it as the main meal served with a green salad -- posted by Bergy

One of my very favorite dinners. This is my gramma's meatloaf, and the only one I'll eat. I do not accept any tomato products, chunks of veggies, hardboiled eggs or wild spices in meatloaf.

My mom made a similar recipe for this comforting dish, and I still remember the wonderful aroma of it cooking throughout the house. She didn't make it often, but when she did, what a treat. I especially loved the light, tender dumplings, which is still my most favorite part of this dish. (In a pinch, Bisquick dumplings are also very good). For those of you, like my good friend Cindy, who like a more Southern style of dumpling (heavier, chewier), the recipe is at the bottom. This recipe is from Steph's Country Kitchen Goodness. This is my favorite website for recipes. -- posted by Dawn Vezina

"How do I love Thee? Let Me count the ways." Hot, fresh from the oven, in sandwiches both hot and cold, fried or would that be refried? Crumbled for Pasta sauce, Omelets, Enchiladas, Tacos, Quesedillas. The other ingredient for Rice, Pasta, Potato, or what have you casseroles. There isn't enough room here to list them all. There are few things to compare with a good, basic, simple Meatloaf. That's why this recipe is so large. -- posted by Pierre Dance

I have tried other recipes of his and so far they are all delicious. You won't be disappointed in these. It really is easy to make.

Autumn Chicken Stew

Mon, 03 Nov 2003 20:02:05 -0500

I adapted this recipe from one that appeared in BBC Good Food magazine and loved the rich, earthy flavours it produced. The original inspiration for this dish apparently comes from Tunisia and it certainly reminded me of some African stews I have had. The changes I made were to use butternut squash instead of pumpkin, fresh ginger instead of ground and two cans of tomatoes instead of one. I also used my chili olive oil, which is stored in a jar with hot chillis to give it some bite, but if you don't have any spicy oils to use, you could add in a bit of chili powder, cayenne pepper or some harissa. This is a very adaptable recipe so have fun playing with it. -- posted by Sackville

One friend called it: "Keisha's Mom's Black-Eyed Peas and Sweet Potato Stew" - adding my daughter's name. Sounds impressive! (This friend has made it more often than I have!)

Midwest Living's Bouja / Burgoo

Sat, 31 Jan 2004 20:00:52 -0500

Bouja is traditionally an upper Midwest (Minnesota) stew, while Burgoo is a specialty of the lower Midwest (Kentucky). In either case, it's what I would call a 'stew of opportunity', meaning that whatever you have on hand is what goes into the pot. In the past, squirrels were a main ingredient of the Burgoo. Anyway, I found this delicious combination recipe in Midwest Living and it made my house smell yummy, you can add squirrel if you like! -- posted by Hey Jude

Sun, 22 Feb 2004 20:00:28 -0500

My family loves this recipe and it's so easy to throw together after work. It's pretty spicy, how spicy depends on the andouille sausage that you use, mine was quite hot and so the resulting dish was spicy hot, but good. I reduced the amount of red pepper flakes to appease my family's preference. This will make your house smell as if you've been cooking, rather than out working, all day! I found this in the Chicago Tribune, the author, Donna Pierce, re-worked her Grandma's recipe to make it after-work friendly. -- posted by Hey Jude

You can adjust the heat in this recipe by the type of pepper you use. I used serrano peppers and thought it was just right, but I like food pretty spicy so if that's not for you, use a milder pepper, such as jalapeno. I found this in the Chicago Tribune 'Good Eating' section. I added the 2 hour chill time to the prep time. -- posted by Hey Jude

A Kenyan Stew typically served over rice. I used dry roasted peanuts since the original recipe did not specify. -- posted by Brenda.

African Red Beans & Couscous

Fri, 07 Aug 2009 02:44:53 -0400

If you've always thought beans were boring, try this super recipe flavored with almonds. The beans are served over couscous, a grain popular in Northern Africa. I thought this was okay the first day, but the next day, I couldn't keep away from it! The first time I made it, I didn't make the couscous. You can make this in a crockpot too. Just check the water occasionally. Adapted from Shoshoni Cookbook: Vegetarian Recipes from the Shoshoni Yoga Retreat by Anne Saks and Faith Stone(via Delicious Living magazine). -- posted by Sharon123
