Summer Vegetable Gratin

Tue, 05 Jan 2010 11:46:36 -0500

While this recipe calls for summer vegetables, my brother and SIL prepared it for Christmas dinner 2009 and I loved it. Good as a vegetarian main dish or a side. It's not quite the same as other vegetable gratins already on RecipeZaar. Personally, I would make this with less olive oil, the amount of which I specified in the ingredients, but you can use the original amount if you prefer (just convert teaspoons to tablespoons). This can also be made ahead after assembly and before baking. Just pre-heat the oven. Try to buy the zucchini and squash of roughly the same diameter. I might serve this with bread to soak up the juices. To make this vegan, omit the parmesan cheese. They found this recipe on America's TV test kitchen. -- posted by Kumquat the Cat's friend

Economical Beef Stew...

Tue, 05 Jan 2010 16:28:35 -0500

...but with no comprimise on the taste! This is a lovely stew that I make all the time, as it happens I'm posting this as I cook it - a great winter warmer. Originally it was just my basic recipe, how mama used to make it, but after seeing various combinations over the years, I've changed it slightly and now I don't think it get's any better. I use "casserole steak" for this and it's beautiful, and reasonably priced. You can use more expensive steak or cheaper cuts of beef, but this is already a lovely dish that is made at a very low cost. I add homemade cheese & chive dumplings (I'll post my recipe after I have posted this one) and put them into the stew 30 minutes before the meal is ready. Serves 4 - half the recipe for 2, half again for 1. -- posted by JinxTheCat

Chicken Spinach Bake

Wed, 06 Jan 2010 21:35:49 -0500

I'd have to categorize this recipe as sheer comfort food. It's creamy, taste soothing goodness packed with healthy options of low-fat chicken breast, reduced fat cream cheese, and healthy spinach. And it's super easy to prepare, then bake for about an hour. The results are as pleasing to the eye as to the taste buds. -- posted by I <3 Cookbooks

Leftover Turkey and Leek Pot Pie With Instant Gravy

Fri, 08 Jan 2010 06:03:53 -0500

This is MY much adapted version of Jamie Oliver's Turkey and Sweet Leek Pie! I made this with left over Christmas turkey this year, and it was so delicious and went down a bomb with my family and friends! A new Jamie Oliver recipe that he showed on his Family Christmas show this year and one that is so clever, as this pie makes its own gravy! I have left out adding the chestnuts and sage to the pastry as he suggests, I will try it sometime in the future though, as it sounds a brilliant idea; I have added this option at the end of the recipe however, for those who want to try it that way. Serve this with mashed potatoes and the extra gravy in a gravy boat on the side. Here is what Jamie says about this pie: "This is dead simple, completely versatile and absolutely gorgeous. Its not a pretty-boy pie; its a proper, old-school pie that everyone will be over the moon to see on the table. Im putting leftover white turkey meat to good use here, but you could also mix brown meat in there too." I agree, all of my family and friends were over the moon to see this on the post Christmas table, I bet it tastes great with chicken and ham too. NB: he original recipe makes enough for 6 to 8 people, mine is perfect for 4 very hungry people! -- posted by French Tart

Scrumptious Chicken Breast Spinach Casserole

Fri, 08 Jan 2010 14:48:46 -0500

This is one of my all time favorite Pampered Chef recipes. It is out of their Celebrate cookbook...of course I altered it some but it's still close to the original. I often times do not put the chopped red pepper in and I usually use 2 c of mozzarella and 1 c of cheddar. I have posted the ingredients as to the original recipe. -- posted by QueenJellyBean

Chicken Chow Mein Casserole

Fri, 08 Jan 2010 16:07:39 -0500

This simple casserole version of chicken chow mein makes great use of leftover chicken or turkey and is easy on the budget and your time. I don't measure or weigh the amount of chicken I use but the original recipe calls for 3 pounds so I've left the recipe that way. I just use whatever I have left over, or I'll stew a few chicken breasts or pieces if I'm starting from scratch. If you've got 2-3 cups of chicken you'll be in good shape. For a little extra kick add some red pepper flakes. You can easily cut this recipe in half for a smaller family. -- posted by Croft Girl

Beef & Pork Ragu Lasagne (Lasagna) from Fine Cooking

Wed, 13 Jan 2010 18:42:56 -0500

This is a PHENOMENAL recipe from Fine Cooking. I have made it for company and everyone raves over it. It's labor intensive but SO worth it. It either makes one huge pan or two smaller ones. I have found that making the ragu the night before makes the preparation a lot easier. Two minor substitutions I have made: (1) I use the already prepared ground chuck and ground pork from the meat section of my grocery store. (2) I have always used either regular dried lasagna noodles or no-boil noodles. -- posted by CFRP

Potato, Turnip, and Spinach Baeckeoffe

Wed, 13 Jan 2010 18:46:11 -0500

This is a vegetarian entree from Cooking Light Magazine. Translated from the Germanic Alsatian dialect, baeckeoffe means "baker's oven," as it was traditionally a dish that was brought to the local baker to cook in his oven. It's rich, warm and delicious comfort food! It is a bit time consuming so it's best to make on the weekend when you have a bit more time. I'm printing the recipe as is from my magazine, however to save time I used two separate pans at the same time so that I could get the carmelizing of the onions while reducing down the mushrooms. -- posted by Cheri in Glen Ellen, CA

Crazy Middle Eastern/Indian-Ish Meatballs & Veggie Bake

Thu, 21 Jan 2010 13:35:02 -0500

I wanted to make something quick and easy for dinner and threw a whole lot of middle eastern/indian ingredients together and came up with a meatball and veggie "thing." The B/F thinks I am kind of a freak because I am able to eyeball ingredients, throw things together, and more often than not it will be edible. However in this case he said "this is one of the best things you have ever pulled out of your, ummm head" (sanitized for Zaar). He then forced me to remember, and write it down so I could make it again. So here it is. I have no idea what to call it. -- posted by Aussie-In-California

Elk Stew Bourguignon

Mon, 25 Jan 2010 11:26:21 -0500

This is a delicious rich-tasting stew that can also be made with beef, venison or a combination of meats. The juniper berries really enhance the flavour so it is worth trying to find them. I found my dried juniper berries at a health food store. They are very strong so it's best to discard them (along with the bay leaf) as you find them in the finished dish. This tastes even better cooked a day or two in advance and re-heated. It also freezes well. I adapted this from a recipe on a pamphlet I picked up from an elk farmer near Ottawa. Elk is very lean and also very tender when cooked slowly on low heat (or quickly on high heat). It is very low in calories, fat and cholesterol and high in protein. Hints: I cook a batch of bacon in advance and keep in the freezer to add at the end. Browning the meat is key to the rich flavour. -- posted by Cathy 41

Best Ever Red & White Sauce Lasagna

Thu, 04 Feb 2010 16:04:10 -0500

This is the absolute best tasting lasagna I have ever had. The red sauce offers sweetness and the white sauce gives it a warm creaminess. I came up with this recipe for my sister who doesn't eat pork, but have made it many times with traditional pork Italian sausage. Either way its yummy, hearty and sure to impress. -- posted by Shamrockjulie

Potato Potato Pot Roast

Thu, 04 Feb 2010 16:13:51 -0500

No, I didn't stutter! Two ways of using potatoes in this recipe. Simple and tasty. Excellent recipe for not-so-expert cooks. When the meat is done, so is the gravy. The long slow cooking makes the meat very tender. This recipe has been hanging around my house for many years. -- posted by Jezski

Mommom Faiella's Italian Sausage Scallopini

Fri, 05 Feb 2010 10:10:45 -0500

The aroma of the herbs and mushrooms cooking on the stove will be very pleasant to your senses. This is almost straight out of my grandmother's recipe book. The only changes my mother made to this recipe were to substitute canned mushrooms with fresh mushrooms and to add a bit more seasonings. -- posted by The Foodgitive

Cream of Chicken Enchiladas

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 10:51:44 -0500

This is a great recipe that a friend of mine has been bringing to office pot-lucks for years. I just got the recipe from him and made it myself. It's a unique and pretty decadent twist on traditional enchiladas. You can adjust the amount of green chiles and jalapenos to your particular taste. This recipe carries a little bite, but is not particularly hot (even using green chiles rated HOT). To pep it up, use 3 cans of green chiles and 2 cans of jalapenos. For potlucks or freezing, double or triple this recipe. -- posted by Chef #1534395

Spicy Easy Corn Casserole (Without Egg!)

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 12:16:22 -0500

Needed to clear some cans out of my storage space. The result? A ridiculously simple casserole packed with flavor. Feel free to use your own spice mix or taco seasoning, I use Recipe #389616. Something like Green Giant Mexi-Corn would probably work nice in this but I worked with I had at hand. -- posted by the80srule

Slow Cooker Chicken and Cornbread

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 12:20:41 -0500

Usually I work too much to get any use out of my slow cooker, but on snow days I can put it to good use and make this delicious comfort food. I originally had the inspiration for this recipe at Garryowen Irish Pub in Gettysburg, PA. I've done my best to re-create the textures and flavors of their dish on my own. -- posted by Sanana71

Who-Dat Stew (Burgundy Beef) With Cornmeal-Thyme Dumplings

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 14:37:09 -0500

Another winner from NOLA.com! If your fresh thyme made it through the freeze, heres a perfect recipe to showcase this quintessential Louisiana flavor. The recipe is from Southern Livings Glorious Grits by Susan McEwen McIntosh (Oxmoor House, $22.95). I listed the recipe as published, but I did add a 1 T additional Herbes de Provence in the cornmeal dumplings: I think it improved the taste; otherwise, this was a very good recipe, well-thymed for the SuperBowl :-) -- posted by East Wind Goddess

Emily's Easy Cheesy Vegetable Soup

Tue, 09 Feb 2010 14:41:09 -0500

My friend, Emily, shared this recipe with me at my bridal shower. Its a quick, easy, tasty meal for cold winter days. I like preparing it in a crock-pot instead of on the stove to avoid burning the cheese. Emily also told me that while any mixed veggies will do, Veg-All is her favorite and I agree! I use low sodium cream of chicken soup, since left-overs tend to get salty in the fridge over time. -- posted by Chef #1067801
