Simple Carrot Soup With Lentils

Tue, 29 Dec 2009 02:26:55 -0500

This is hardly a recipe, but a very simple way turning a lot of carrots into supper. I found this recipe at http://glutenfreegoddess.blogspot.com/ when looking for something simple to use up my tons of carrots. I added lentils to make it a main course. The lentils don't affect the taste and add protein, fiber, iron and other goodies, but you can leave them out for an even simpler recipe. You can also use any unsweetened, unflavored nondairy milk in place of the soy milk. My 8-year-old daughter loves this soup. -- posted by Kumquat Knickers

Spiced Fresh Cranberry Relish

This simple relish is a delicious accompaniment to your poultry, ham, and pork dishes. Tart raw cranberries are seasoned with cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and ginger, and sweetened with sugar, orange juice and plump dark rasins. The red wine gives this old-time-favorite a sophisticated twist. -- posted by Feast Your Eyes!

So Easy and Tasty Apple Streusel

Tue, 29 Dec 2009 13:52:01 -0500

"Crisp fall apples, tossed in cinnamon and baked with delicious streusel. Almost as good as pie, with half the calories and it's in the oven in 10 minutes! Plus, it can be served warm with ice cream, and the smaller size means it won't be there to tempt you later. Enough for a small mini casserole dish that will serve 3-4 people. Double the recipe for an 8x8 pan, quadruple it for a 9x13 pan". Unless you double the batch and use a bigger pan, in which case, it's a great breakfast topping for oatmeal! Enjoy! Adapted from Penzey's spices and the intro is what they said about the recipe. A little history: In baking and pastry making, the term streusel (a German word meaning "something scattered or sprinkled", from the verb streuen, akin to the English verb 'strew') refers to a crumb topping of butter, flour, and white sugar (traditional German) that is baked on top of muffins, breads, and cakes (e.g. Streuselkuchen). Some modern recipes add various spices and occasionally chopped nutmeats. Although the topping is of German origin, it is sometimes referred to as Danish or Swedish. -- posted by Sharon123

German Pancake (Also Called Dutch Baby)

Thu, 31 Dec 2009 03:04:25 -0500

The German pancake, also called Dutch Baby, is like a crepe crossed with a popover. It's ridiculously easy to make (the batter is made in under 2 minutes in a blender) and is always a crowd pleaser. Watching the pancake puff up before your very eyes is always entertaining. You can add fresh fruit to the batter, add it on top after baking ,or go crazy and do both! Then you have the option of topping it with the more traditional squeeze of fresh lemon juice and powdered sugar or simply drizzle on the maple syrup, for the syrup lovers. -- posted by P ROD

Loch Lomond Rumbledethumps

Sat, 02 Jan 2010 10:17:37 -0500

During Christmas, we were on holiday in Scotland. I asked my mother-in-law, "Have you ever made a dish called "rumbledethump? They're talking about it on a website. (Zaar)" She laughed and said, "That old thing! We ate it as kids and when newly married! I haven't made it in years!" She explained that if you asked a 100 Scottish women to make this dish, you'd come up with 100 variations. Some use onions, some use chives. Some boil their cabbage, some fry it. Other's add turnips or parsnips or carrots. But however you make it, this is Comfort Food at it's highest elevation. I watched her make it from scratch, took notes and asked questions. The end result is her version, which comes from the Loch Lomond area of Scotland. What I love about this variation is the great contrast between the tangy tomato topping and the incredible richness of the cabbage/onion/potato filling. Top it with cheese and you have some of America's favourite flavours: tomato, cheese and potato. I should know: I ate three pieces the first time that I ate her version! So, from Scotland to America, here is my Mother-in-Law, Mary McFadden's, Rumbledethump recipe. ****I have changed the measurements from metric to U.S. sizes and also used potatoes and cheese that are easily found in the U.S. -- posted by The_Swedish_Chef

Creamy Coconut and Rum Baked Pineapple

Sun, 03 Jan 2010 17:55:14 -0500

I came up with this as a solution to leftover coconut milk and a fresh pineapple. And even on Weight Watchers, it was worth saving points for this dessert. The whole recipe has a total of 8 points. The rum for this dessert should be golden- a light rum will not produce the same depth of flavour. Number of servings will depend on the size of pineapple used- increase the sauce if using a large pineapple. -- posted by Shuzbud

Pasta With Smothered Onion Sauce (Marcella Hazan)

Tue, 05 Jan 2010 09:36:33 -0500

This is an easy, delicious, and simple recipe from "Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking" by Marcella Hazan. You just mix all the ingredients on the stove and come back and hour later. The onions get meltingly soft and sweet. It'salso great with some crumbled blue cheese. If you use homemade pasta, which is more absorbent than spaghetti, you should start with 1 tbsp more butter when making the sauce. TO MAKE AHEAD : You can cook the sauce entirely in advance up to the point where you add the parsley. When you are nearly ready to toss with the pasta, reheat the sauce over medium heat and add the parsley just before draining the pasta. -- posted by blucoat

Was surprised when I saw so many recipes for tomato soup calling for peeled tomatoes....but no instructions as how to peel them! If you try to peel a fresh tomato, you know it's a mess, that's why so many folks use canned tomatoes! Well, for the uninformed, here's how..............and a good-bye to canned!

Make Your Own Single-Serve Vanilla Yogurt

Tue, 05 Jan 2010 16:05:44 -0500

Although it lacks the portability of something like Yoplait, Dannon, Stoneyfield Farms, etc. it's a good alternative if you like a cup of yogurt with breakfast. Most are 6 oz instead of a full cup, so I decided to use that measurement instead. Except for when I can get them really cheap or need to carry them to school or work, I think I'll use this method to make vanilla yogurt from now on. No HFCS monkey business here! -- posted by the80srule

German Onion Pie

Mon, 11 Jan 2010 18:46:52 -0500

My friend Mrs. G., a German lady from Bavaria, used to make a fabulous onion pie. I never got her recipe but I watched her make it a few times. I searched for a similar recipe and found that most German onion pies contain bacon, etc., but hers was meatless and very delicate. I finally found this recipe which I adapted slightly so that it is very close to hers. Posted for safekeeping - I have not tried this yet. Note the the original recipe calls for one cup of butter, but I am guessing that you don't need that much. -- posted by coconutty

Nothing like the awful boiled cabbage you remember from school! Cabbage is very good for you, as it contains anti-oxidants, vitamin C and all sorts of other things. Try this as a vegetable with chops or burgers and plain boiled potatoes. You can use leftover cabbage and potato to make Bubble and Squeak. -- posted by SarahEmmm

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)

Lemoniest Lemon Squares

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 23:08:24 -0500

These are the best lemon bars I've ever tried. They have a fabulously buttery crust, a not too sweet or too tart curd-like lemony filling, and a thin chewy top. The recipe is from San Francisco pastry chef Emily Luchetti's cookbook, "Classic Stars Desserts". With more than a cup of fresh lemon juice, the lemon flavour is really pronounced, the filling sets up real well and the dusted sugar makes for a beautiful presentation. NOTE: The squares can be made a day in advance, covered and refrigerated. Bring to room temperature before serving. Dust with confectioner's sugar before serving. -- posted by blucoat

This humble and hearty combination makes a satisfying main dish, especially on a cold night. Lentils are an excellent source of folate and molybdenum and a very good source of dietary fiber, protein and manganese. Any type of lentil will work in this recipe.

Easy Vegetarian Black Bean Tortilla Soup

Wed, 03 Feb 2010 09:16:46 -0500

Quick, hearty soup with a bit of a kick. Can be made Vegan by omitting sour cream. Tame the spice down by substituting diced tomatoes for the Ro-Tel. I serve the soup with corn chips, but tri-colored tortilla strips add some visual appeal. I like to leave the black beans whole, but you can make it creamy by mashing the beans. -- posted by Chef #1540606

Lsa

Sun, 07 Feb 2010 10:55:26 -0500

This is from "The Liver Cleansing Diet" by Dr. Sandra Cabot. I am posting it for safekeeping. It has a delicious nutty flavor. I have categorized it as a breakfast food, but it is very versatile and can be used as a topping, in salads, etc. It is intended as a nourishing food when you are on a cleansing or raw-ish diet, and gives you extra protein, fiber and essential fatty acids. LSA is named after its 3 ingredients: Linseed (Flaxseed), Sunflower seed and Almonds. -- posted by coconutty
