My Favourite Gazpacho Soup

Mon, 31 Jul 2006 15:11:30 -0400

A wonderful cold raw tomato soup. Once the tomatoes and cucumbers are plentiful and the herbs are up this becomes a summer staple. It's almost a liquid salad. Fresh herbs and veggies are best but canned and dried can be substituted in a pinch. -- posted by alleycatb

Barley and Tuna Salad With Lemon and Dill

Wed, 02 Aug 2006 20:53:16 -0400

Not sure where I found this but it was on my computer and still looks good to me. With summer coming salad entrees that require little or no cooking work especially well. Cook some barley one night for dinner and reserve some to make this the next day. Though this is good after a couple of hours, it's even better the next day as the dill flavor really infuses the dish and the tuna flavor mellows. (Please don't eat this right away, not very tasty.) For WW followers, this is Core or 3 points for Flexers. Cooking time is minimum chilling time. -- posted by justcallmetoni

Roquefort Terrine

Tue, 05 Sep 2006 15:23:00 -0400

Wildly decadent, very rich terrine. The quantities given are suitable for a main course for 8 people - cut each slice in half if serving as a starter, in which case the recipe will serve 16. Very good with a simple watercress salad (dressed with walnut oil and wine vinegar) and some fresh, crusty bread, perhaps with a little onion marmalade or some other sweet chutney on the side. This recipe originally came from a fabulous vegetarian cookbook called "Food from the Place Below" by Bill Sewell. I am not sure if I have modified it over the years, but this is the version I currently make, and I think it's great! It's best to start it the day before it is needed - note that nearly all of the preparation time is waiting time, and that the terrine can easily be made a couple of days ahead of when you need it. -- posted by Syrinx

Tahitian Tuna (Poisson Cru)

Wed, 28 Feb 2007 16:07:12 -0500

Serves 16 or more(for appetizers) Serves 8-10 (for a main course) My husband and I went to French Polynesia and this was a base dish at many meals. We never had a recipe for this but we paid attention when it was being made. As a result of having this dish my husband learned how to open fresh coconuts with a stick and a rock. Tip: If you do not want to go to all of the trouble of shredding a fresh coconut use the store bought can of coconut milk (make sure you shake well before adding to the tuna). You will only need about 1/2 to 3/4 of a can of coconut milk. -- posted by Kianya

Has your spouse ever told you that you perpetually smell like garlic? Do you relish the unmistakable scent of Italian food? If so this recipe's for you. This highly flavorful cold-serve pasta salad is sure to be a hit with the family and with a heaping pile of peas per serving it's a great way to get the kids to eat their vegetables and actually enjoy it! *Take heart: If this recipe is too garlicky for you just adjust the amount of minced garlic until you find your own desired strength. -- posted by GenYChef

Chickpea Salad With Cumin Vinaigrette

Thu, 05 Apr 2007 22:12:05 -0400

No such thing as too many chickpea salads! This was an especially good version I thought, altered a bit with my own and my BF's taste in mind. Extremely easy and no cooking involved, particularly good for lunch at the office or a weekend picnic since it's best at room temperature. If you'd like to make this for a no-cook summer dinner, it's a main meal for two (with a side of green vegetables) or a side dish for four.

This, the only thing I can compare it to, is steak tartare, mexican style. This is like a ceviche, but with lean ground beef, so technically, the beef is raw cooked by acids in lemon. If you are not open to things like this, please skip this one. I love this since the first time I tried it, and everyone I have given it to has liked it as well, but some do not want to try it when I tell them the raw beef part. -- posted by Brisket in Roses

This is an awesome, fresh, healty mixture that is really diverse. I use it on grilled skirt steak or chicken tacos, I use it as a salsa for chips, and/or I add shrimp and serve it like ceviche. This is my default summer dish since it's so healthy and I almost always have the ingredients on hand. I served it at a party recently with shrimp in it and everyone loved it! Note: The amounts below are what I find to be a good balance of flavors, they don't need to be exactly these amounts. -- posted by LatinaAtHeart

Greek-Style Chickpea Salad

Mon, 25 Feb 2008 19:03:25 -0500

This is a light, healthy, and refreshing salad! I found this gem in the Cook's Illustrated "The Best Light Recipe" book and I have made it many times since. Basically you are just chopping things up and throwing them together in a bowl so even the kids can help with this one. Very tasty, and excellent served over a bed of greens and herb garlic pita chips. I've tweaked it ever so slightly. This salad can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Season with additional lemon juice, salt, pepper, and oil as needed before serving. Very easy clean up, and your salad is ready in less than 20 minutes. -- posted by Melvin'sWifey

This recipe from Cooks Illustrated makes enough sauce for 1 regular stir fry recipe. The citrus flavors in this sauce are especially good with chicken and shrimp. Other options are beef strips, tofu, or a veggie stir fry. If a spicier sauce is desired, add up to 2 teaspoons more chili sauce, or just toss in a teaspoon of ground cayenne pepper. Yum-O! -- posted by Melvin'sWifey

Chicken Salad (Ww Core)

Tue, 25 Mar 2008 02:19:46 -0400

This is a simple chicken salad adapted from "Chicken and Apple 'Clams' " in Pillsbury's Good for You cookbook. One small serving (1/6 recipe) is 1 Weight Watchers point. If I have plain yogurt on hand, I use yogurt instead of half of the mayonnaise. I also add celery if I have it. Neither one of these affects the points. You can add nuts or other ingredients to dress it up however you want. I eat this by itself, on top of spinach leaves, or in a pita bread. I use Tyson's Oven Roasted Diced Chicken Breast (in the lunch meat area); one package is 6 ounces. -- posted by South Carolina Girl

Kmart Sub's - a Blast from the Past!

Thu, 01 May 2008 19:20:25 -0400

I had an awful craving hit me for one of these wonderful K-mart Sub's and HAD to have one! I searched high and low and finally found a woman on a message board that used to work the deli counter in the late 80's at a K-mart in Dayton, Ohio. This was one of the same stores that my Mom would take me as a kid to get one of these wonderful sub's and a frozen Coke! I used to stand in front of the counter and watch them make these sub's and remembered all but one of the ingredients. Make sure that you wrap your sub's and allow them to sit for 30 minutes before serving or they are not the same. This allows the bread, meat and veggies to show some love to one another. -- posted by Humble Bee

It is not a form of salsa in the normal american idea of the word, but meaning only that it is a sauce, its nothing like the chunky sort of salsa served at latin restaurants etc. Also, can be made days in advance, the first time I made it, i made it the evening before, but sampled and it tasted just the same if not better the next evening when I served it, and the same was true a few days later with the leftovers : ) -- posted by GoldsmithLissa

Lodge Salad Like Smokey Bones

Fri, 19 Sep 2008 20:29:48 -0400

This is my favorite thing to order at Smokey Bones, a place popular for BBQ and watching sports. Darden Restaurants closed a lot of the locations and sold the rest to another company in 2008. This is my own copycat version of the salad, not an official restaurant recipe. This is very filling even as a vegetarian salad without the chicken or shrimp; at Smokey Bones they give you an unrealistically huge portion - making this recipe only serve four. Use any dressing you like; I really love Recipe#318828 however it's not an exact replicate of Smokey Bones' dressing. -- posted by ~Jen~

This recipe was given to me while living in Argentina, however, the source is from the Lehman family in Utah. Our family has used this sauce mostly for BBQ Chicken Pizza, but we have also used it for grilled chicken served over rice. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do! -- posted by Lord Bezoar

Raw 'paella'

Mon, 16 Mar 2009 15:40:28 -0400

This is from a fantastic website - Freshtopia.net. I've posted the original recipe, however I prefer to use a mix of grated carrot and courgette rather than turnip. You can watch the video on the site, but here's what they have to say about it.. "its clearly a large departure from the traditional dish, but it is a healthy departure harboring a wide range of nutrient-rich power foods. Its actually not as much work as the rather lengthy ingredient list implies, and well worth the effort. This one is good the next day as well, perhaps even better as the saffron continues to infuse the dish with flavor for up to 24 hours." -- posted by Mellowpuff

Korean Beef Salad

Fri, 17 Jul 2009 02:08:38 -0400

I got this from a Sunset magazine about 15 years ago and having lost it and found it several times, I'm finally putting it in here for sanity's sake! The recipe calls for sliced deli roast beef, but I've used leftover steak or roast and it's great. The veggies can be played with too--cucumbers, sliced bell peppers, halved cherry tomatoes, bean sprouts have all worked well. It's very refreshing and no cooking! Prep time doesn't include the marinating time. (I've marinated it for about an hour, and that's still enough time) -- posted by DeeCooks

Hotpot Dipping Ingredients (Sichuan)

Sat, 25 Jul 2009 02:45:21 -0400

Bascially, use your imagination ... almost any vegetable, meat or even seafood, can be used as a dipping ingredient. The key strategy is that each piece should essentially be bite-sized and will cook in a matter of 1-2 minutes at most. Some ingredients (e.g., mushrooms) can be used whole, while others (e.g., chicken breast, pieces of beef) should be sliced paper thin. This list is only a small set of suggestions. The number of servings is clearly unlimited, but I had to fill in a number ... -- posted by Gandalf The White

Scallop and Mango Ceviche With Thai-Lime Dipping Sauce

Wed, 23 Sep 2009 02:11:05 -0400

This dipping sauce, fresh with herbs and tangy with lime, is Blue Ginger's, Ming Tsai's restaurant, most requested recipe. It's based on the traditional Thai dip called cha-gio, which gets its flavor from fish sauce. That salty ingredient is nicely balanced with lime juice. The herbs darken as the sauce ages; this isn't a taste problem (quite the opposite, as the flavor deepends over time) but the sauce will lose it looks. If this bothers you make and store the sauce "base" only, then chop & add the herbs an hour before serving it.Ceviche is food "cooked" without heat. As with all ceviches, freshness is key. Make sure your scallops are pristine enough to eat raw. This technique uses citric acid or vinegar to firm and therefore"cooked". Here, mango adds its exotic sweetness to scallops, which cook in the flavorful dipping sauce. Ming Tsai - ming.com - Episode 105, Tags: sauce, appetizer, scallops or mangoes. ;) -- posted by Manami
