Kadhi Pakora / Pakoras

Thu, 21 Jan 2010 02:25:06 -0500

At the local Indian market, they have a small, vegetarian "cafeteria-style" lunch/dinner counter that we go to as often as we're able. One of my favorite dishes there is a yogurt curry with pakoras swimming in it. Pakoras are a snack made with, in this case, veggies dredged in a chickpea (besan) flour batter and then deep fried. I've been on the hunt for a good kadhi pakora recipe and found this keeper. Just don't use thick, Greek style yogurt like I did; you want more of a soupy consistency rather than what my photo shows. You can vary the veggies you use here. Try onion strips, spinach and even paneer, Indian cheese. Adapted from a recipe at http://www.indianfoodsite.com/. Enjoy! -- posted by Sandi (From CA)

My mom made this shrimp cocktail ever since I can remember. Then I made it for my husband, he thought it was too spicy so then I tweeked it a bit with Clamato Juice. The original recipe does not have any Clamata juice and has equal amount of Salsa Del Pato as Tomato Sauce. I hope you can enjoy it as much as everyone I make it for does. -- posted by Jacob's Mommy

Sarasota's Chicken With Fennel & Olives

Thu, 21 Jan 2010 13:37:08 -0500

This is actually based on a suggestion made by another Recipezaar member, SarasotaCook. I had made a request for ideas to use up some ingredients in my freezer and pantry, and she kindly described how she likes to prepare chicken using the ingredients I had on hand. I took her idea and this is what I came up with. Sarasota told me to go ahead and post the recipe, so here is how I prepared it. I used Muir Glen organic for the diced tomatoes. Note: I removed the skin after cooking and served the meat sliced off the bone; the nutritional facts are assuming you ate all of the marinade, didn't spoon out the fat, and ate the skin. My chicken breasts were huge and had enough meat to feed 3 servings. If you prefer to leave the meat on the bone, you will have 2 larger portions. -- posted by HeatherFeather

French Onion Soup

Thu, 21 Jan 2010 17:31:28 -0500

My personal recipe for French onion soup. Nothing out of the ordinary, but perfect for me. Makes a brothier soup than most recipes because that is my favorite part. The recipe lists 26 oz of beef stock. Don't worry about this being exact, that just happens to be how much comes in the carton I use- I like Swanson Beef Stock, but of course, homemade would be better. A couple of fluid ounces more or less would be absolutely fine. -- posted by Piaqua

I'm on a diet and I wanted use up some left overs in the freezer and make something that would fill me up. So why not make an original low cal chicken soup? So here's my chicken soup recipe. If you don't want to buy a bunch of different frozen vegetables just buy a quality mixed vegetable. It usually pretty close to the portions in this recipes.

Chicken Pepper Pot Soup

Mon, 25 Jan 2010 12:16:52 -0500

I got this fabulous recipe when I vacationed at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge. The soup was on the Boma - Flavors of Africa Buffet. When I inquired about a cookbook with the recipe, the waitress went & got the recipe from the kitchen. This is posted in the same manner I got it, but I'll tell you that finding 1 gallon containers of broth is difficult. So I use 10 14oz cans, it's a little more, but just as good. I also usually use 2 poblanos. Using ready to go chicken tenders is a big time saver. I just sautee them in a little sesame oil & garlic before I dice them. This soup is very tasty and borderline addicitive. I've made several times since I got back. It is absolutley delicious the next day and freezes well. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do. -- posted by Tina & Angie

My Spiced Butternut Squash, Sweet Potato, Carrot and Orange Soup

Mon, 25 Jan 2010 18:41:04 -0500

This was inspired by my other butternut squash soup recipe (#402703). The orange flavoring is optional. I use pre-cut, cubed squash when I can find it. You can also use a small fresh butternut squash. (The prep time assumes you are using pre-cut squash.) I use almond milk in this recipe (I like Almond Breeze) instead of cream or half and half. You can save a little time by roughly chopping the onion and garlic, because the soup will be pureed later. I do chop the ginger rather finely because it is so fibrous, and I don't want lumps in the soup that didn't get pureed. -- posted by coconutty

Wintertime soups and stews . . . nothing better! This recipe will give you a rib-sticking flavorful soup that everyone can tweak as much as desired to satisfy his or her own tastebuds. For those not partial to the taste of lima beans, be aware that this soup barely carries a hint of lima bean flavor, as the lima beans serve merely as the staple for this wonderful dish. This recipe makes a soup as thick or thin as you'd like. -- posted by Squire David

Menma - Braised Bamboo Shoots for Ramen Topping

Wed, 27 Jan 2010 06:09:01 -0500

I normally make this using whole refrigerated bamboo shoot that I can purchase in Japanese market nearby in California. If whole bamboo shoot is used, cut lengthwise into about 1/4 in slices first. Then cut into 1/4 inch slices. Finally cut the 1/4 inch slices into half. The slices do not need to be perfect - they will taste great when finished. You can also use canned bamboo as well (although taste will be not as good as the fresh version). Menma is granddaddy of one of ramen toppings. In old days if you ordered ramen in Tokyo this was always one of the toppings along with shoyu or soy sauce flavored soup. You can purchase this in a bottle commercially but the cost is quite high for a small bottle. I like to sometimes serve this as a snack for beer, white wine or sake. If served as snack, it is very good with sprinkling of roasted sesame seeds on top. -- posted by Rinshinomori

Chicken " Soup " Risotto Style!

Fri, 29 Jan 2010 17:25:58 -0500

Chicken Risotto. A yummy creamy ( as in texture but has no cream ) chicken, rice and veggie concoction I made last night for dinner. However, I used sushi rice instead of the typical italian arborio- but it absorbs just as much!! Good stuff. As for taste...think of your favorite chicken soup recipe...but risotto syle. If you use arborio rice you may need to increase liquid and cooking time...it takes a little longer to cook than sushi rice (approx. 5-10 mins..) read the instructions on your package of arborio rice to get an idea. -- posted by Amy Duchesne

Skillet Salt Roasted Potatoes

It's a summer winner, one that you shouldn't even try after the first frost. -- posted by Ice Cool Kitty

The Easiest and Best Crock Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup

A friend of mine made this soup for a baby shower that I recently attended and everyone loved it! Fritos or tortilla strips and cheddar cheese are optional topping's as well as the sour cream. I like it the best with only sour cream which make it HEALTHY which is alway a major plus! You do not need to pre cook the chicken, just put it in raw OR frozen, which makes it super easy. For spicer soup, get the spicy RoTel tomatoes and/or Medium or Hot Tostitos Salsa but you will find that it has a lot of flavor and is quite spicy for not having to add any extra spices -- SO easy!! I like it the best with one jar of medium and one jar of mild tostitos salsa. -- posted by S.H.E.

The reason I say all purpose is because this is always a side dish at Thanksgiving, and Easter and BBQ's and on Sandwiches etc. etc. It just goes well with a lot and if you love a sweet tasting Cole Slaw, this is definately one to try. The Green Bell Pepper is a must for the unique taste! I always have to double this recipe though for larger crowds! -- posted by D. Rose

Herbed Country Breakfast Potatoes

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 11:36:27 -0500

These are the country breakfast potatoes I cooked at a restaurant I once worked, which were served on weekends for brunch. They are easy to make, and may be prepared with or without tri-color bell peppers -- and of course they are delicious, with aromatic fresh herbs. I've tried making them with dried herbs, but there's just no beating the flavor of fresh rosemary and thyme (you can even sneak a little fresh sage in there too, if you've got it). Enjoy these hearty breakfast potatoes with your favorite eggs or omelet, or serve them the way I do (yes it may seem strange)... topped with my Recipe #363705 sauce! Mmm! -- posted by Bazaar®

Muir Glen Fire Roasted Salsa

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 11:57:57 -0500

This is a recipe that I found on the label of Muir Glen fire roasted tomatoes with green chiles. It's a very simple salsa recipe and doesn't require the addition of a jalapeno pepper, but still has a kick from the chiles in the tomatoes. Cooking time is chilling time. -- posted by LARavenscroft

This is delicious and healthy too! The only changes I made were to substitute the fresh basil with 1 T. dried sweet basil and to omit the salt. -- posted by Scrivener1

A Greek inspired salad of fresh tomato halves, fetta cheese, olive oil and herbs. Perfect side dish for a meal, or wrapped up in a piece of flat bread it makes a great sandwich. It is absolutely essential to have good quality tomatoes for this dish. Little mini roma tomatoes are ideal, or any vine-ripened or organic fruit. -- posted by becy

Alabama Living Soup

Tue, 09 Feb 2010 14:52:47 -0500

This recipe comes out of a local electric company magazine. We love hearty soups on the cold, damp days. This recipe fits the bill. Just place everything in the crock pot, go to work, come home to a wonderful soup. This makes a large crockpot of soup. For thicker soups you can use less broth, for thinner soups, use more. The cups measurement for the broth is up to your preference. -- posted by Jellyqueen

Basic Fresh Tomato Sauce

Tue, 09 Feb 2010 16:28:13 -0500

I discovered this sauce recipe by total accident, randomly paging through a 33 year old Sunset canning book. Once made, it is the BEST fresh tomato sauce I've ever tried or made. Well worth the time it takes to make from scratch. -- posted by The_Swedish_Chef
