Sesame Halva, Raw Vegan, Gluten Free, Wheat Free, Dairy Free

Sun, 05 Apr 2009 02:24:10 -0400

This is possibly the most nutritious sweet treat in the world. A delicious rich melt in the mouth halva. Great for babies and children. Sesame seeds are the highest source of calcium (975gms per 100gms -9 times that of whole milk-), high in iron (14.55grams -grain fed beef mince has only 1.99grams-) an almost equal amount of protein to beef and numerous other nutrients. This has become a staple in our house and the combinations are endless. I like to mix in chopped pistachios. You can use other things such as prunes, date paste, dried cherries, apricots, coconut, cocoa powder or other nuts and flavourings. you can add more dates if you prefer it sweeter. You could also try using tahini to make it easier. -- posted by canthelpmyself

Matzo Brei or Fried Matzo

Thu, 09 Apr 2009 20:15:05 -0400

This recipe was much-loved when I was growing up (typically made the week or so after Passover, when there was an abundance of matzo in our home). Now that I am grown and married, every Passover my mom gives me and my brother each a box of matzo to take home after seder, and this is my favorite recipe for it (I usually make it for breakfast). -- posted by Greeny4444

Big B's Pancakes (Dairy Free, Diabetic Friendly)

Sun, 12 Apr 2009 02:41:21 -0400

My late dad was a fabulous cook. My mouth waters when I think about his concoctions. He owned a pancake parlour and this is his pancake recipe that he used and that I memorized as a young girl. Fortunately it is dairy free so it works well for my dairy allergic son. My dad insisted that this recipe worked better if the batter aired for at least an hour prior to cooking. The batter can last in the fridge for up to 24 hours. I usually use 2 pans simultaneously to halve the cooking time, so the cooking time specified in this recipe is for the whole batch using 2 pans. -- posted by Cheron

This is a quick, delicious frosting recipe that is vegan, pareve and has no trans fats.

There are many, many recipes for Sangria to choose from, depending on what you like in your glass. My husband has been making this one for years, in fact we served it at our wedding reception! As for the name- well, if you don't watch how much of this you drink, you'll understand the name the next morning. Don't use high end wine or brandy for this, any subtle flavors will be lost. Cook time is resting time in the fridge. -- posted by IngridH

Piri Piri Sauce (Portugal, Algarve) Homemade

Fri, 08 May 2009 12:44:59 -0400

Recipezaar already has 11 recipes for piri piri (sauce, dressing, oil, spice) and 10 recipes using it, so why add another? First, piri piri is in the cuisines of Africa, Portugal, South America and the Caribbean, so there are variations to the ingredients, heat and form. Second, all of the versions currently posted are "quick", i.e., whether the ingredients are raw or cooked, you can prepare them and use them the same day -- this version is the more authentic marinated and pickled version (Warning: from the time you start to make this until the time you can use it is 5 weeks!! I didn't count this in the prep time). Finally, I've had this version, love the taste and know how reliable the recipe source is. With credit to Elisabeth Luard's "The Food of Spain and Portugal: A Regional Celebration", here is piri piri as made in the Algarve ... Recipe provided for Zaar World Tour 5 (2009). -- posted by Gandalf The White

Roasted Parsnips

Mon, 08 Jun 2009 01:59:17 -0400

Sweet caramelized flavor. If you grow your own, leave them in the ground for a few weeks at below-freezing temperatures so the starch has time to change into sugar. Make sure to cut out the woody center. This recipe really lets their natural flavor shine! I got this recipe from an online newspaper, and hastily copied it down.

Creamy Mango Parsley Green Smoothie

Sun, 14 Jun 2009 21:30:47 -0400

This green smoothie is like the dessert of green smoothies, haha. It is unbelievably creamy and delicious. And it leaves your mouth feeling so refreshed. Mangoes are really high in fiber and have lots of health benefits! I found a recipe similar to this in a book called Green For Life, but I altered it a tad. I find that people new to green smoothies might want to use a little less greens to start off, in order to get yourself acclimated to it. -- posted by Mimosas for Mr & Mrs

Spicy Meatballs and Couscous

Wed, 15 Jul 2009 01:25:10 -0400

This title is a bit misleading--I don't find the dish to be very spicy, but some people do, hence the warning label. I made it up one night when I had fifteen minutes to get dinner on the table--I juggled my pots and had it ready in twelve! Don't worry if it sounds like it needs more herbs or spices, it is tasty as is. The peanuts are a South African thing to add--try it at least once. -- posted by GreenEyed Precious

Jerrys Country Coffee for Hard Times

Fri, 24 Jul 2009 15:13:11 -0400

A recipe for our challenging economic times! This is coffee for when you cannot afford the real thing! Based on a recipe from Joan Ranson Shortneys book, How to Live on Nothing. My book is from 1971 and is still mostly relevant even today, except where she says to eat margarine! For me, this book is like a second chance at finally listening to my grandparents and great grandparents. :) For other country drinks, you may substitute barley, oats, or soybeans, as these were used during the Civil War; the roasted shells of acorns were used during WWII by the Germans (caution: do not use acorns unless you boil them first to remove their tannic acid). Im guessing on the quantity and will adjust accordingly after Ive made this. If you try this, please let me know what quantity worked for you. This recipe requires a coffee grinder, or some other equipment or method for grinding the kernels. I wrote the instructions using a standard 12-cup drip coffee maker, but this can certainly be made using other coffee brewing methods. -- posted by mersaydees

Aayi's Jowar/Jolad Roti (Gluten Free Indian Flat Bread)

Tue, 11 Aug 2009 12:26:12 -0400

Gluten free but not corn free. This is an unleavened Indian flatbread which is made from Jowar, Sorghum here. The flour is gluten-free and so making these rotis (chapattis) is not as easy as making whole wheat rotis/chapattis. Despite not containing gluten, these are quite soft and have a somewhat nutty flavor. Traditionally, eaten for lunch or dinner with a dollop of unsalted home-made butter and garlic chutney, these rotis can be served with any vegetable curry. Recipe originally from http://www.aayisrecipes.com -- posted by UmmBinat

Quinoa Milk

Tue, 18 Aug 2009 03:01:50 -0400

This recipe is more creating a milk from quinoa. Quinoa, a "grain" from South America ('tis actually a seed), is a great source of Iron and calcium, as well as being a complete protein. This makes it a good choice for individuals who (for whatever reason) do not consume dairy products. The recipe is based off of the one found here: http://www.kimmykokonut.com/2008/05/22/teaching-and-cooking-in-peru-with-food-pictures/ Please note: this milk has a consistency of thin porridge before straining. After straining, depending on the amount of water added, it should have a consistency of rice milk. This milk has a nutty flavor. It tastes a bit like unsweetened soy milk. You can of course, add sweeteners and flavorings to your quinoa milk (I recommend almond extract) so you can probably get it to a taste that is very similar to commercially purchased rice or almond milk. Good luck! -- posted by Chef #1354715

Homemade Soy Vanilla Ice Cream

Mon, 24 Aug 2009 01:23:39 -0400

Need a healthier alternative to regular ice cream that is easy to make? My family (including the meat and dairy lovers) loved this ice cream, and no one would have known that it didn't have milk or eggs! You can top it however you want, and experiment with the ingredients (we've made blackberry ice cream, strawberry ice cream, healthy chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream, healthy or "fake" butterfinger ice cream), etc.! You can make blizzards (aka Frosty or shake) by briefly blending it a bit in a blender. This recipe is perfect for experimenting! -- posted by Glorify.Jehovah

Oven-Fried Fingerling Potatoes

Fri, 25 Sep 2009 01:17:38 -0400

I discovered fingerlings at a Farmer's Market a couple of years ago and found the best method that makes them fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside. The parboil method may not be necessary, but otherwise it won't be so fluffy on the inside. Duck or goose fat is ideal for this, but I have never tried it due to cholesterol. Make sure to rough the potatoes up well in the colander to get a maximum crispness on the outside. I tend to eat them cold from the fridge the next day, but they can also be used as an appetizer with an Aioli dip or one of your choice. They are seriously addicting in our family! -- posted by nsomniak6

No-Knead Ciabatta

Wed, 07 Oct 2009 14:17:24 -0400

This is one of my most favorite recipes. It has very few ingredients but turns out very well. When you take it out of the oven you can hear the crust crackling-very nice! Hope you like it as much as we do. (If you want to use whole wheat you can add only a half a cup to this recipe -more than that will make the bread dense) Also if you only have active dry yeast- double the yeast amount to 1/2 tsp. Note* since it is a no-knead recipe it is a pretty flat loaf with a max. height of about 5-7 inches. -- posted by Leah's Kitchen

Kiwi, Strawberry and Grape Juice.

Thu, 08 Oct 2009 10:51:44 -0400

I got this recipe from 'The top 100 juices' by Sarah Owen, published by Lifetime Distributors, Castle Hill, Australia. Sarah Owen says "All three fruits in this juice provide a massive infection-fighting boost of vitamin C and can help to shorten the duration of a cold. The kiwi fruit a also contain lutein, a phytonutrient known to reduce the risk of cancer, heart disease and eye disease. Both strawberries and grapes are high in ellagic acid, which neutralizes carcinogens. The tannins, flavones and active compounds in the grapes combine to make them energizing and strengthen the cell walls of blood vessels" You could make more than one serving, and serve with lemonade and ice in a punch bowl for a party if desired. I haven't made this yet, as I don't have a juicer, but if I ever get one, this will be the first juice that I make. Enjoy! :) -- posted by TALIA #3

My husband and I eat this every morning M-F. The oatmeal is low sodium, low sugar, high fiber. The apricots are high Vit A (beta carotene), the walnuts are high Vit E. Without honey, it's quite bland. Honey, I feel, is a better choice than sugar because it is antiseptic and is thought to help with allergies, from which my DH does suffer. -- posted by DonitaK

Fruit Coconut and Oat Milk Smoothie

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 22:23:38 -0500

A smoothie made with frozen fruit, coconut milk, and oat milk; I came up with this one based on ingredients that I had sitting around in my pantry and the need for a gluten- and dairy-free smoothie (use homemade oat milk, great recipe available on this site) -- posted by JTanen

Rib Eye Roast

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 12:05:58 -0500

The way to prepare a tasty (and expensive) ribeye roast -- from my mom's aunt. Works for her and works for me on the rare treat that we buy a ribeye roast. The roasts I use are usually 4-6 lbs, but here's an instance where size doesn't matter. I love this recipe because I can prepare it with great ease and convenience, all the while making the best tasting roast ever. For a dinner party, I may start the roast at 2 pm, then with all my extra time put effort into other dishes -- like twice-baked potatoes, salad, and dessert. I have a double oven, so I can prepare my other sides without the forbidden opening of the oven door. If you went to the great expense to buy a ribeye roast, make your roast this way. No butter -- no flour -- no garlic -- no basting. Just follow the simple instructions. I think it's best at medium-rare -- that's pink in the middle but warm. You may use a meat thermometer if you like, but I've never needed to when following the instructions. If you have the "convection" setting on your oven, don't use it. Just use the conventional setting. If you must use the convection setting, you'll need to use a meat thermometer or adjust cooking times as convection will cook the meat faster. I learned the hard way -- conventional oven does a perfect job using the following instructions while convection will make it more medium-done. -- posted by AngieME

Rich (But Low-Cal) Vegan Hot Chocolate

Sat, 28 Nov 2009 15:30:29 -0500

I mixed this up late on a cold rainy homework-y afternoon- and it was good, so I thought I'd keep it around ;-) Note: I put their amounts as "scant" but you could just be slightly generous with the other ingredients, if you use the full 2/3 c. each of liquid. -- posted by White Rose Child

Fresh Cranberry Sauce (Relish)

Sat, 28 Nov 2009 17:19:38 -0500

This is a cranberry relish my Mom has made every Thanksgiving. I never liked any sort of cranberry sauce until I tried hers! Now it's a must-have and goes amazingly well with turkey! Feel free to play with the amount of sugar and orange juice for taste and consistency! -- posted by OtakuGirl

Vegan Applesauce Nachos

Fri, 04 Dec 2009 16:55:44 -0500

I know it sounds weird, but bear with me! The applesauce sweetens it, but a flavorful salsa, salty chips, and earthy beans help to balance it out. This recipe is vegan and easy to prepare, best enjoyed hot. The ingredients are estimates, since I make this by sight or to taste, but it's easily doubled or tripled. Feel free to vary the recipe, for example using black beans instead of kidney beans. -- posted by Qzxyntop

Pasta and Beans

Tue, 08 Dec 2009 16:35:10 -0500

I found this recipe in a Nancy Clark Sports Nutrition Guidebook, but had to change it up for a vegetarian and a lactose-intolerant person! An easy and quick version of pasta so you can have some variety with the pasta! Finished with a salad, its a great, well-rounded meal! You can also add extra veggies and spices as you want (I like to add some garlic and red pepper flakes). You can also add cheese on top- I didn't so it would be lactose-free (although you can add goat cheese for lactose free as well!). I also suggest a smaller type of pasta, like shells, rotini, etc) -- posted by Chef #1294045

Ming Tsai's Three-Vinegar Syrup

Mon, 21 Dec 2009 01:46:51 -0500

I'm a big fan of Ming Tsai and found this at ming.com. Sounds interesting! He says: This vinegar reduction, which adds intriguing sweet-tart flavor to dishes, takes advantage of the fact that when balsamic vinegar is cooked down, its inherent sweetness is intensified. Three-Vinegar Syrup combines the complex flavors of balsamic, rice wine, and Chinese black vinegars. It does wonders for beef and seafood, but it can also be used to intensify the taste and aroma of sweet foods including fruit, or as a dessert sauce; I serve it over vanilla ice cream with great success. And because it is syrupy, you can use it decoratively, too, to beautify plates while adding a flavor accent. -- posted by firefly68

Crispy Wonton Chips

Brussels Sprouts in Soy Sauce

Tue, 29 Dec 2009 01:23:17 -0500

My wife and I love Brussels sprouts and this is our favorite way to prepare them. It's our own creation and so good that I'm amazed I have never seen a similar recipe anywhere. The flavors of the sprouts and the soy sauce seem made for each other. The recipe is quick and so simple that it can be thrown together as a side vegetable any time sprouts are on hand. I always use Tamari soy sauce, but anything you have on hand will do fine. And I always use olive oil, but butter or another vegetable oil would be fine if you prefer. -- posted by Cowshill

Kill Yeast- a Candida Killer That Works

This is to clean out your whole body - men and women. Also a drop oil of oregano mixed with a little amount of water may do wonders for your skin if it is yeast causing you redness or pimples on your body or face. Do not wash off, though it is slightly smelly. Make sure to use a natural moisturiser after. -- posted by UmmBinat

Easy Unfried Mexican Ice Cream

I came up with this after looking at recipezaar for a fried ice cream recipe. My daughter has a milk allergy so butter was out, plus I substituted Soy Delicious Ice Cream for her. Didn't have corn flakes, but happened to have Cinnamon Toast Crunch, if your going to add cinnamon and sugar might as well save a step. -- posted by M.O.T
