Basic Garlic and Oil Sauce for Perfect Pasta (Rachael Ray)

Wed, 07 Oct 2009 16:11:53 -0400

If you like pasta, you're going to LOVE this recipe from Everyday With Rachael Ray's magazine (Oct '09). She has a "secret ingredient" that adds an unexpected zest to the ordinary ingredients: anchovies. She notes in her recipe that " even if you think you don't like anchovies, you should try this recipe--it'll change your mind." Further, she points out that "once you heat anchovies, they stop tasting like fish and start tasting more like salted nuts." So: try it, you'll like it! If you must, don't say anything to the diners--and ask them if they like it, before you reveal the "secret ingredient." -- posted by Debber

Mediterranean Flat Bread Steak Sandwich

Thu, 08 Oct 2009 15:42:27 -0400

This is a great version of a traditional steak sandwich without being traditional. A tomato based relish with Mediterranean flavors and a red pepper mayonnaise, grilled skirt steak, and fresh spinach. Now, I happen to buy these great flat breads right from my market, but you can easily make your own - there are many good brands out there these days. You can also take a pizza dough and form into a small rectangle, brush with some olive oil flavored with grated onion, garlic, and seasoning and grill inside or out for just a few minutes and then remove. But this is meant to be a quick easy busy night dinner so I take advantage of the store bought for this. -- posted by SarasotaCook

BBQ Chicken Packed Pita

Thu, 08 Oct 2009 15:46:36 -0400

This is courtesy Adam Gertler, on the show The Next Food Network Star-Episode: Into the Studio. It's got some great ratings on the food network. I hope you like it too! :) You can save time and use your own BBQ sauce but it is said this BBQ sauce is out of this world. The rub is so good! If you would like to make just enough rub for this recipe use 1 tbls. kosher salt, 1 tbls. plus 1 1/2 tbls. light brown sugar, 1 tbls. smoked paprika, 1 1/2 tsp. chili powder, 1/8 tsp. dried rosemary,crushed, 1/8 tsp. dried thyme, 1 1/2 tsp. granulated garlic.

For all those fans of my Chicken Pot Pie recipe....you'll live this one too! The real name of the recipe is Hot Chicken Salad. I got this recipe from a book called The Complete Guide to Country Cooking. I have been asked about this recipe so often and about what's in it that we call it the " What's In It " casserole! This is a great potluck addition or light luncheon and can be assembled 24 hours in advance. I hope you enjoy this wonderfully light and comforting meal/side.

This is a recipe that I found in Paula Deen's special magazine publication May/June 2009. It is the party issue. This recipe was inhaled by guests and family at our house. It is definitely time consuming so plan on it taking more time than you think but it is worth it. It is definitely a keeper flavor wise as the caramelized onions bring out the ham and cheeses. The honey mustard mayo is a great undercurrent. Great for parties and gatherings like baby showers, showers, brunches, etc. Enjoy! ChefDLH -- posted by ChefDLH

Leftover Turkey & Fixin' Phyllo Packets

Fri, 16 Oct 2009 17:53:12 -0400

One year when I was a kid, my great-aunt Helen visited us for Thanksgiving. I have this memory of her and my mom in the kitchen having fun creating a clever way to "re-package" thanksgiving leftovers. I couldn't have been older than 6 or 8 years old but my mom never tried it again. As an adult the memory stuck with me and here is how it came out...its so easy! And you can substitute the ingredients with whatever left-overs suit your taste. -- posted by Melanie B.

Prosciutto/Chicken Breasts/Eggplant Panzanella/Raisinvinaigrette

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 13:11:42 -0400

"Chef Barbara Lynch's take on saltimbocca gets its richness from Taleggio* cheese, which is stuffed in the chicken breast. A slightly sweet bread salad is served with the chicken." Bon Appetit Magazine, September 2009 Edition. The real name of the dish is: Prosciutto-Wrapped Chicken Breasts with Eggplant Panzanella and Raisin-Pine Nut Vinaigrette - with "Taleggio cheese that is a semi-soft, washed-rind cheese from the Valtaleggio region in northern Italy, near Lombardy. It is characteristically aromatic yet mild in flavor and features tangy, meaty notes with a fruity finish. The texture of the cheese is moist-to-oozy with a very pleasant melt-in-your-mouth feel. The combination of the soft texture, pungent aroma, and buttery flavors has proven to be addictive especially when spread on fresh crusty bread! Taleggio pairs nicely with Italian Nebbiolo wines, as well as a wide range of reds & whites." Cooling times have not been included. -- posted by Manami

Individual Nacho Pouches

Fri, 23 Oct 2009 01:18:37 -0400

Do you hate eating nachos and getting to the bottom and there is no cheese or no sauce left. Or how about hating that someone smeared sour cream all over all the chips because they like it - but you don't. How about olives that you like but your friends don't and pushed them all off to the side. Well this is a great way to make nachos for a party so everyone is happy. Individual pouches or small packets of nachos for each person. You get your own chips, lots of cheese, a creamy sauce and served with the traditional toppings. Now for me ... traditional toppings include shredded lettuce, black olives, jalapenos, salsa or tomatoes, sour cream and guacamole. Now since this is a NO MESS easy clean up meal. I line a pie plate with parchment paper and put all the toppings right in that. That way at the end of the meal ... toss the parchment paper out and NO clean up. And with all those toppings they can make the nachos exactly to their liking.. Each parchment packet has chips, cheese and either the seafood topping or the traditional beef and bean topping, all hot and ready to garnish. And the best part ... individual packets so once again, no clean up or mess. This is just a great party food. So whether you decide on the seafood or the beef, you will have 8 great packets of nachos to enjoy during my favorite ... Sunday football !! -- posted by SarasotaCook

Chicken 65 Curry

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 18:23:38 -0400

This sticky, spicy chicken curry is deliciously sweet and packs just the right amount of heat. It is to be scooped up with warm, chewy naan, then licked off of fingers.Your first step is to hunt down some curry leaves. Their flavour is irreplaceable in this dish - a bit nutty, warm, and citrusy. Used a lot in South Indian cooking, they have nothing to do with curry powder which is a blend of spices.Start by browning the chicken in a heavy skillet - make sure the oil is good and hot and the chicken has been patted dry before you put it in the pan. Dont flip it until it releases easily - if it is sticking, leave it - it will tear if you try and turn it before it is ready. Next, cook the onions gently over low heat for about 10 minutes to coax out the sweetness. Then add the spices to the pan to saute before the liquid is added. These three steps have a big flavour impact. As far as curries go, the ingredient list is very short. Which makes it a great curry for beginners, if you can track down some curry leaves at an Indian grocer. Serve with naan http://www.recipezaar.com/Naan-56245 . -- posted by College Girl

Mme Benoit's Tourtière

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 11:06:48 -0500

Tourtière is a French Canadian meat pie which is traditionally served at Christmas. It may be made from pork, beef or a combination of meats sometimes including veal. Different regions in Quebec have their own traditional recipes. Some regions use game such as hare or duck rather than beef and pork. The pies should not have too much filling as they are just a part of the whole traditional Christmas dinner. It's usually served with tomato ketchup. This recipe is the creation of Mme Jehane Benoit, a famous Quebec cooking expert who received the Order of Canada for her contributions to Canadian cuisine. I found this recipe on recipesource.com and on blogger.com where it was posted by Lizzy Ferland. It is originally from the Canadiana Cookbook. -- posted by Dreamer in Ontario

These twice-baked potatoes, stuffed with cheddar cheese and bacon, are just the way my mother used to make them. I always loved the addition of the green onions. When you are feeling indulgent (these potatoes may not be for the weight conscious!) and are in the mood for a good steak and potatoes, try these! They are also good served alongside prime rib, chicken, or pork (even good all by themselves). Double or triple the recipe for your dinner parties. And, they can even be prepared upto 2 days ahead...just cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to do the final bake. -- posted by Alan in SW Florida

Chestnut Stuffing With Pancetta and Fennel

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 00:02:58 -0500

I love chestnuts! This is difficult because I don't love preparing them & I really dislike getting chestnuts that turn out to be moldy. To avod the dissappointment of moldy nuts & the pain of burned fingers I will splurge & get jarred chestnuts. They are spendy so they fall into the "very special occasions" category. Oh so good. I jumped on this recipe when I read it in The Seattle Times. They attribute it to "Sunday Suppers at Lucques: Seasonal Recipes from Market to Table" by Suzanne Goin with Teri Gelber.

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

Make-Ahead Roasted Turkey Gravy - Tyler Florence

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 00:37:18 -0500

This is a GREAT make ahead gravy, even a day ahead! There is an error in the directions tho. I watched the show and after he was done roasting the wing and vegetables, he added the flour and stock and then added the turkey wing back in before simmering for about 15 minutes more. This gravy warms up beautifully, and is an extreme crowd pleaser and EASY. From Tyler Florence at Food Network. Hope you enjoy! -- posted by Scoutie

Minestrone With Turkey

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 01:17:30 -0500

From TOH Dec/Jan 2008 issue. I plan to try this with leftover turkey after Thanksgiving. I will probably add more turkey to this. The recipe says you can also add a can of rinsed and drained garbanzo or kidney beans. -- posted by Ginny Sue

You can also try stuffing breasts or legs. Or stuff a large bell pepper for a vegetarian option. -- posted by GoldsmithLissa

Slow-Roasted Turkey Breast With Gravy

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 21:57:14 -0500

This preparation will NOT produce a turkey breast with crispy skin. In fact, I normally remove the skin completely (and discard it) after the turkey has cooked. The meat comes out wonderfully moist and the gravy is out-of-this-world! -- posted by Cooking Ventures

Brian's Badass Buffalo Dip

Turkey Tenderloin With Cranberry Shallot Sauce

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 01:09:02 -0500

Recipe from Eating Well's November/December 2009 magazine; it is low carb and low calorie but packed full of flavor. This would be a great dish to serve on Thanksgiving - you'd still have turkey, but it would be cooked in a flash! They recommend serving it with a side of mashed sweet potatoes, brussels sprouts and a glass of Reisling. -- posted by JanuaryBride

Bacon-Crab Mushroom Caps

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 01:26:35 -0500

This is a Kraft recipe. I have not tried this but am putting it here for safe keeping. With the holidays coming up I hope to make them then. I like the idea of using either mushroom caps or cherry tomatoes or just using as a cracker spread. -- posted by Catnip46

The "best" Meatloaf Ever!

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 13:38:39 -0500

My mother got this from my grandmother and her mother. The word meatloaf just doesn't sound appealing, but after making it for my husband for the first time, he was in love. Now everytime I make meatloaf he is on top of the world. This dish is even a child pleaser as my 4 year old daughter is begging for seconds. To make it a little healthier, I use a loaf pan with an insert so that the oil and grease from the beef drain away and the meatloaf is not sitting in it. -- posted by Pumpkin Pie's Mommy

All American Corn Dogs

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 16:15:21 -0500

I don't often deep fry food at home, but these are so worth it! These are a staple at fairs and theme parks across America. You could use an 8oz box of jiffy corn muffin mix instead of the first 6 ingredients but you probably won't find this outside of the US. A great crowd pleaser at bbq's or children's parties, hot dogs never tasted so good. . . . -- posted by robd16

Hoppin' John

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 21:56:43 -0500

A variation on a recipe from the good folks at Goya. I make it with both of the suggested meats -- sausage AND bacon (Goya's calls for kielbasa, but I think smoked sausage or andouille works better). The two together are spectacular. I also add a jalapeño for a little extra flavor. Oh, and if you're on a low-sodium diet, there is a no-salt version of the -- posted by Cluich

Skillet Spiced Cranberry Chicken

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 01:58:50 -0500

I like to serve this easy one-pan dish throughout the holidays, when fresh cranberries are in season! Frozen or dried cranberries could also be used, for all year round appeal. Feel free to adjust sweetness to your tastes (we like it tangy). This chicken is great served with stuffing or rice, and your favorite seasonal vegetables. -- posted by BecR

Filipino Egg Rolls

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 15:24:24 -0500

This recipe is from my mother, I usually double the recipe, becuase once the egg roll are wrapped they can be frozen and taken out at anytime and fried. Try this with the sweet chili sauce found in the Asian Food aisle of any grocery store. This is also a big hit when I bring them into work or my husbands pot luck. This is the best recipe you will ever find! -- posted by Pumpkin Pie's Mommy
