Cream of Tomato Soup in Puff Pastry

Mon, 14 Sep 2009 13:49:27 -0400

This decadent soup is a favourite dish at the Michelin starred restaurant Bistro Jeanty in Napa Valley. It is an impressive and delicious soup - perfect for a dinner party! For an everyday meal, omit the puff pastry dome. The recipe was printed in "Soup's On!: 75 Soul-Satisfying Recipes from Your Favorite Chefs". Start this recipe in advance as the soup must cool fully before baking. For a little extra oomph, you can add 2 tablespoons of sherry to the soup. -- posted by blucoat

Hearty Meatless Chili

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 11:45:35 -0400

A thick rich chili, where you won't miss the meat at all. I make double batches and freeze it for quick meals during the winter. The combination of veggies makes this taste so good. I usually puree all the veggies together to make a rich broth and and sneak the veggies in for unsuspecting kids. Try it. You'll like it. And it's easy on the budget. -- posted by Grace4Gayle

Easy Puttanesca Sauce

Mon, 05 Oct 2009 13:53:50 -0400

A lovely warming sauce; a good sinus-clearer; or just some proper traditional Italian cooking! This sauce announces itself at full volume, because of the chillies, but is also full of flavour. It is pantry food - a sauce that can be thrown together from ingredients you can keep in the cupboard for months at a time. This is the simplest recipe for it I have found, but is still delicious. When condensed down there may not seem to be much sauce, but you want to treat this like pesto - a small quantity swirled through lots of pasta, rather than drowning in sauce. If you try to split this only between two you may find it too rich. -- posted by Boo L

Green Bean Dumpling Soup

Mon, 05 Oct 2009 17:03:01 -0400

My son & daughter-in-law raved about this German soup but it just didn't sound like something I would like. One evening my little granddaughter asked my husband and I to stay for dinner and we accepted without knowing what was cooking. Needeless to say, we had our first taste of the infamous Greenbean Dumpling Soup ....and fell in love with it! I prefer my dumplings more like spaetzle than the regular biscuit type-dumplings. Also, either French-cut or regular green beans can be used. I do not use the roue - I thicken in the soup liquid. Be aware that it does make a lot, so adjustments for serving size may be needed. -- posted by As4Me&MyHouse

Mediterranean Artichoke Stew

Mon, 05 Oct 2009 17:31:07 -0400

A zesty, hearty dish that is delicious both hot AND cold. Artichokes, lemon, and some spices make up the base of the flavor, and the addition of potatoes and garbanzo beans (chickpeas) add substance. Wonderful served with just a fresh green salad. I adapted this from a Madhur Jaffrey recipe from "World Vegetarian" ("Artichokes Stewed with Potatoes," labeled as Moroccan) by adjusting the spices a little bit and adding the chickpeas. -- posted by DaphneM

Chicken and Rice

Mon, 12 Oct 2009 17:52:40 -0400

This is my grandmother's recipe, but it was originally meant as a way to serve up fresh dove when it was in season. Since I live in the city, and there isn't a lot of opportunity for dove hunting, I substitute chicken. I find that bone in chicken pieces work best because they don't dry out the way boneless pieces will. This is my idea of ultimate comfort food. I usually serve it with peas and fresh sweet potatoes. -- posted by quirkycook

Glaze for Grilled Pork Tenderloin

My husband's cousin gave me this recipe which is so darn easy, it's unbelievable. Everyone who has had it has loved it. You can make the glaze early in the day and microwave it right before serving, after you take the tenderloin off of the grill. We don't even season the tenderloin -- just throw it on the grill; slice, and drizzle this glaze over the slices. -- posted by quikgourmet

Quinoa - Risotto Style 1

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 13:07:28 -0400

This is my own recipe. I like it, as it's a fast way to eat well and feel great... Quinoa, poblano peppers and parmesan ! Don't use kraft powder. Buy some real parmesan or, even better, Belgioioso 'American Grana' if you're in the USA -- by far one of the best "parmesan" style cheeses you can find in the states. The fact that they admit it's American, gets you over a psychological barrier, and it's just a great product. You'll become addicted...eat it with fruit : figs, mango, guava... -- posted by Asd;MRS-NYC

Tomatillo Stew

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 17:42:08 -0400

A versatile stew base that can be switched to suit any palate. The tomatillos give this stew base a plenty of citrus flavors, so feel free to leave out the additional lime juice. The roasted poblanos provide a very subtle heat that is not at all overpowering. If more heat is desired, add a couple of chopped chipotles in adobo or 2-3 chopped serrano or jalapeño chiles. Serving Ideas: When the stew has cooked about halfway (step 4), add meat of choice: shredded roast chicken or thinly sliced boneless pork chops would be equally good. In the original version, I used 1 1/2 pounds of pre-cooked beef tongue; the richness of the meat paired quite well with the tart flavors in the stew. For a veggie version, stir in some cubed eggplant or winter squash or whatever protein substitute you like. -- posted by Hungry Hogareno

Thai Inspired Butternut Squash Curry

Wed, 28 Oct 2009 12:32:32 -0400

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

Apple Pumpkin Bisque

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 15:12:20 -0500

Its amazing when two ingredients intertwine so perfectly, that regardless of how hard the palate may try, it cant coax them apart. Thats what happens to the applesauce and pumpkin purée in this sweet and savory soup. The pumpkin gives substance to the apple; the apple makes the pumpkin sweet and tangy. Eaten together, they become a totally new taste sensation -- and a great way to fit fruit and veggies in! Courtesy of Mealtime.org -- posted by Chef #1365024

Carlene's Turkey Brine

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 01:31:46 -0500

I created this recipe 3 years ago when I decided to brine a turkey for the first time. I wasn't happy with any of the recipes I found online. Now I would never fix a turkey any other way. It infuses flavor throughout the bird. I make this brine the day before I need it so it has time to cool in the refrigerator. Brining time will depend on the size of your turkey or chicken. We usually do an 18 lb. bird & I brine it for 3 days. This is equally good for birds roasted in the oven or smoked on the grill. The number of servings and cooking time will depend on the size bird you are cooking. I just had to put something in here to post. -- posted by MamaCooks

Rocco's Vegan Chili

Wed, 02 Dec 2009 00:05:37 -0500

I was on the Dr Oz site looking for something completely different when I stumbled across this recipe. I know there are a zillion chili recipes...this one looked a little different with the touch of lime. I haven't tried this yet, plan to soon because I think it looks tasty. I'm guessing at the cooking time, it looks fairly quick though...30 minutes simmering time is included in my guess. Update...had a chance to make this and I really like the recipe - it's very quick to throw together. The only thing I wanted to come back and adjust is the amount of chili powder - suggest starting with a tsp and working your way up from there, because chili powders vary so much. I happened to use chipotle and an entire tbsp would have been too much. -- posted by magpie diner

Mon, 04 Jan 2010 17:38:37 -0500

I just got back from a quick trip to Miami, Fla. and had something very similar to this at a restaurant called Captain's Tavern. It was so good, I had to try to find the recipe. Here's one gleaned from Gourmet magazine, Nov. 2006 via Epicurious. Enjoy! This is one big casserole, but at the restaurant it was in individual dishes. You may add the cheese between each layer or just use it to top, or leave it out if you prefer! On the website, this has 92 wonderful reviews! this is even better the next day. You can half this recipe and cook in a 9x9" pan. This is so good, serve to company and for the holidays. This recipe calls for slicing raw squash but to make it easier to cut, microwave for 3-5 minutes, or lightly steam or bake and then cut in pieces. The recipe says it will serve 8-10 people but some said it served 12! -- posted by Sharon123

Portabello Bowls With a Warm Spinach Potato Salad

Want a nice twist as a side dish? This is a bit healthier, but still very satisfying. It takes my favorites from a spinach salad; spinach, warm bacon dressing, mushrooms, onions, and add some diced potatoes to make it more of a warm potato salad. All stuffed inside a portabello. I enjoy to serve this dish with pork tenderloin or some roast chicken. -- posted by SarasotaCook

The Easiest Hot Sausage & Kidney Beans With Rice

Tue, 19 Jan 2010 17:25:01 -0500

This is my go-to, super-easy weeknight dinner. Hot Links, canned kidney beans, onions, peppers, and jar salsa...doesn't get any simpler than that! This recipe allows for mindless "slap it together" nights or nights when you want to take a little more effort and make it *really* yummy! -- posted by firealarmqueen

I originally made this recipe for a Superbowl party and have made it many times since for my husbands lunches. Great recipe and can be done with a wide variety of variations...Enjoy! Keep in mind the addition of too many fresh vegetables can make the bread soggy! -- posted by Mandy likes to cook

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

Red Pepper Vichyssoise

Sat, 23 Jan 2010 23:31:30 -0500

This is a lovely soup to serve in the summertime, as it is served chilled. If you prefer, you can substitute sour cream for the creme fraiche. To make creme fraiche, just combine 1 cup of whipping cream with 2 tbsp of buttermilk. Once combined, cover and let stand at room temperature for 8 hours. This will make a cup of creme fraiche. Prep and cooking time does not include the chill time! -- posted by breezermom

My Trini Style Boiled and Fried Cassava (Yucca)

Tue, 26 Jan 2010 09:03:14 -0500

This is a recipe I have grown up eating. It is like a staple in our country and while there must be many versions out there - this is my simple and tasty version. It is great eaten alone with some ketchup and hot sauce or served with rice, stewed chicken and a green salad for a complete meal. -- posted by Roxanne J.R.

Old Fashioned Chicken and Dumplings (Made Easy)

Sun, 31 Jan 2010 01:11:20 -0500

When I was growing up, one of my favorite comfort foods was my maternal grandmother's chicken and dumplings. "Nana" would stew her chicken and debone it, strain the broth (seasoned with fresh rosemary from her garden), roll her own biscuit dough, then drop hand-cut, flour-rolled dumplings into her broth. It was a lot of work, but she always seemed to have it on the table in minutes! She usually made it when I was sick or not having a great day (my mom too). It's one of those ''little things" my mom and I remember fondly. This recipe is my adaptation of Colonel Harland Sanders' personal gravy and dumpling recipe, which I've brought a little closer to Nana's... made a lot easier! PLEASE NOTE: THIS RECIPE HAS BEEN REVISED SINCE THE ORIGINAL POSTING, AFTER CHEF #1523855'S REVIEW. DOUBLING THE BROTH WAS MY SOLUTION (AS I'VE DONE HERE). IT GIVES MORE BROTH TO COOK THE DUMPLINGS IN (Thank you, Chef # 1523855). YIELDS ABOUT 5 SERVINGS. -- posted by Bazaar®

Vegetable Pot Pie

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 12:04:18 -0500

I made up this recipe after hearing some women in a coffee shop talking about chicken pot pie. I love savory pies but I'm vegetarian so I devised this meatless version which I think is just as good. The choice of vegetables can be changed quite a bit based on what you have on hand. I think adding some frozen peas would be good for example. Anyway, enjoy! -- posted by Chef #1483869

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
