Ginger Fried Rice

Thu, 28 Jan 2010 16:05:05 -0500

This looked awfully good, simple, almost perfect! I made this last night and my BF and I were very pleased with the outcome. If possible, use leftover rice as fresh rice will be too moist. Leftover rice from Chinese takeout works well too. After making the dish the amount of garlic didn't seem excessive to me, but use your judgment. Courtesy of Mark Bittman, the minimalist, from today's version of the New York Times. I reduced the oil as it seemed excessive. Use 1/2 cup if you'd prefer. For a vegan dish, omit the eggs. Originally from chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten. -- posted by Kumquat the Cat's friend

Indian Cabbage and Peas Stir Fry

Thu, 28 Jan 2010 16:16:33 -0500

My friend Sirisha, from South India, introduced me to this. It is great! I like it hot and cold. There are several versions on 'zaar, but this one has stronger spices than most. It is somewhat hot, but mostly just very flavorful! I prefer it without the onion. The amounts are approximate, as she never measure. I do, though. :) -- posted by Hwin

Skillet Salt Roasted Potatoes

Sat, 30 Jan 2010 00:44:16 -0500

The salt is infused with fennel seed (or caraway) and used to evenly distribute the heat so the potatoes roast on the stove top. After cooking, the salt can be used to sprinkle on the potatoes or saved in an airtight container to season other meals, such as vegetables and fish. Disregard the sodium content in the nutritional information (it is actually 331 mg). -- posted by Ice Cool Kitty

Pan Roasted Corn and Tomato Salad

Sun, 31 Jan 2010 02:05:22 -0500

Enough of the justification: this is just plain good. At the end, you've got meaty smokiness from bacon; that incredible sweetness of corn; the fruity acidity of tomato; the tender, smooth fattiness of avocado, and the sharpness of chili. It's a summer winner, one that you shouldn't even try after the first frost. -- posted by Ice Cool Kitty

My Spiced Butternut, Red Pepper and Carrot Soup

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 02:12:40 -0500

I use pre-cut, cubed squash when I can find it. You can also use 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. -- posted by coconutty

Chili's Restaurant Salsa Copycat (Todd Wilbur Top Secret Recipe

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 12:33:59 -0500

I love clone recipes. Making it myself and controlling the ingredients yet having familar taste is so much fun. This is for a red salsa recipe that is a copy cat of the Chili's Restaurant Chain found here in the west and around the country. It is super easy to make and fun to eat. You make it fresh at home and save money while having it whenever you want. Perfect for football parties, games, events, holidays etc This is the real Todd Wilbur Top Secret Recipe from his book "Top Secret Restaurant Recipes 2" that I own. Other recipes can be found but they lack one ingredient or another. Todd says "If you want to double it, use a 28 oz can diced tomatoes and double the other ingredients. If you need more heat tweek the amount of jalalapenos you use." I hope it adds a kick to your menu. Enjoy! ChefDLH -- posted by ChefDLH

Pumpkin butter is one of fall's great all-purpose spreads. Spice up breakfast by using it on pancakes and muffins.

Each serving is 2 tablespoons. I found this recipe in Better Homes and Garden magazine. I have not tried this recipe, but I'm posting it for safe keeping. -- posted by internetnut

Spaghetti Alla Puttanesca, Italian Style

Fri, 05 Feb 2010 15:00:41 -0500

I first was introduced to this recipe when I was reading the book, "Belong to Me", when the main character "would have sold her soul" for a plate of this. I had to do further research and hours later, found a recipe that I was happy with sharing. There are American versions of this and Italian versions of this. The Italian version has you begin by reducing the anchovies into a paste, reducing their fishy taste. It also has you cook the sauce longer, mingling the flavours and reducing the tomatoes into their own paste. Although excellent the 1st day, it is even better the second so plan ahead to make more! And please, RESIST the urge to cover this with cheese! Italians customarily do not use cheese in this dish; the cheese overwhelms the sauce and makes the anchovies more pronounced, unbalancing all the delicate flavours you just worked so hard to create. -- posted by The_Swedish_Chef

But this method is GREAT and foolproof! NO MESS, easy and you don't hav to watch like a hawk. I'm sure this would work for any kind of rice, but you'd have to adjust time and the amount of water.

The combination of ginger and butternut squash is delicious and addictive. This recipe yields a creamy soup without the use of any cream. I love to whip this soup up with my immersion blender right in the pot. This soup also freezes well. You can serve it with a dollop of sour cream if you desire, although I serve it without a garnish. If you want to make this a completely dairy free soup, use dairy free margarine (Fleishman's unsalted, or Earth Balance.) Oh yeah, and you MUST use fresh ginger. -- posted by Lee Hock

Tomato and Fetta Salad

Tue, 09 Feb 2010 14:50:07 -0500

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

Wedding Punch

Tue, 09 Feb 2010 15:06:57 -0500

I've made this punch for several weddings, parties and showers and it always goes over well! From the 1986 Southern Living Annual Recipes. I haven't made it with champagne, but I am sure it would be delicous that way! Take time to make the ice ring; it really makes the punch perfect! If you need to make a lot of this, you can make the punch up to the point where you chill the base and instead freeze it. I've made enough for 100 people this way with good results. Also, the original recipe calls for a 28-ounce bottle of tonic water. I just always use the full 1 liter bottle. Preparation time includes a swag on how long it takes to make the ice ring. Cooking time is just the time to combine the base, ice ring and carbonated beverage. -- posted by DeniseBC

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
