Chinese Chicken Burgers With Rainbow Sesame Slaw-Contest Winner!

Wed, 10 Jun 2009 15:47:41 -0400

This is Brigitte Nguyen's $50,000 Grand Prize recipe in the 2009 National Chicken Cooking Contest put on by the National Chicken Council. Geared to big appetites, it could easily be turned into eight burgers rather than six. Cook them on the grill or in a frying pan if you prefer. As a shortcut, you could substitute 2 cups of already-grated cabbage for the julienned vegetables in the slaw. Look for Sriracha chile sauce on the Asian aisle of the supermarket. Any type of Asian chile sauce may be substituted. -- posted by Sharon123

Grilled Vegetables

Sun, 14 Jun 2009 19:55:06 -0400

This is a great side dish or can use as entree. Terrific folded in a tortilla, even cold. Have also put on sub rolls with cheese for a vegetarian entree. I often double since this has so many uses later in the week for meals. Have also made a cold pasta salad with these chopped or a hot pasta dish topped with parmesan and added cooked cubed chicken. Use your choice of vegetables (asparagus, green beans), but this is what I like. Serving size based on a side dish. -- posted by Vicki in CT

Excellent choice for the grill lover! Great choice for a barbecue or anyone who loves chicken! It's a fairly simply recipe, but it comes out so tasty!

Award Winning BBQ Pork Ribs

Sun, 28 Jun 2009 17:25:25 -0400

I have won many BBQ competitions with this recipe. They are outstanding in a smoker but, can also be done in the oven or on a grill. If you cook them in the oven use baby backs and reduce the cook time. Serve with potato salad and Cole Slaw. It takes years of practice to be able to cook great ribs, this recipe will help you out tremedously. I use Head Country BBQ Sauce if i am not making my own (Recipe #322637) but any good bbq sauce should work. You can purchase Head Country online at http://www.headcountry.com.

Hawaii Da Kine Burgers W/ Sweet-Chili Glaze & Goat Cheese

Thu, 02 Jul 2009 11:52:00 -0400

Sutter Home's 2008 Build a Better Burger ® Winner!!!! "Da kine" is a key phrase in Hawaiian Pidgin, the language of the "locals." It can mean almost anything, but commonly refers to something good or genuine, or as in this case, "the best." This burger is as local as it gets, both in taste and ingredients. The patties are tender and juicy, thanks to fresh papaya and sweet onion, and are spiced with Hawaiian Portuguese sausage, which is so popular in Hawaii that it is on every breakfast menu (including McDonald’s). The accompanying salad employs heating oil to its smoking point, a local cooking method, resulting in a dynamite burger accompaniment. To complete the Hawaiian flavoring, I added a sweet glaze (Hawaiians love sweet and savory) and was inspired by our award-winning goat dairy to create a mouth-watering ginger-infused cheese spread. Ho, dat's da kine! Pairs with Zinfandel -- posted by College Girl

Horsey Ham Casserole

Thu, 02 Jul 2009 12:25:36 -0400

It's not what you think! The "horsey" in this recipe is horseradish. When I was young, my mom would make this maybe twice a year, mostly for potlucks and family gatherings, and it was always (and still is) one of my favorite foods. I RECOMMEND CUTTING THIS RECIPE IN HALF! As it is written here, it makes about 20 servings, but it CAN BE FROZEN. So, if you don't halve it, you can at least freeze half of the finished product and save it for a couple weeks later. -- posted by grungezombie

Tandoori-Style Chicken Burgers

Sat, 04 Jul 2009 14:24:33 -0400

To keep burgers juicy, resist the urge to press patties down during grilling. We made these with turkey and they were delicious!

Asian Turkey Burgers With Sesame Mayo

Sat, 04 Jul 2009 14:26:27 -0400

Hoisin sauce gives these burgers a juicy texture, while ginger and garlic provide a burst of flavor and water chestnuts deliver an appealing crunch. Serve them over toasted whole-wheat buns with a side of tender greens. We used this tangy mayonnaise to enliven the burger even more or for a chicken sandwich or a dip for a platter of wonderful roasted vegetables or perhaps use it as a dressing for sliced napa cabbage with scallions.:) I had some Apricot Mustard left over from another dish and the combination was great - I served it on the side.

Slow Smoked Pork Ribs

Thu, 09 Jul 2009 11:59:16 -0400

temperature about 200 degrees, smoke and patience. A full rack of ribs can be smoked in about 4 hours but do take the time and go the distance. The longer you smoke the more flavor you will get. I'm using a mustard rub to form a nice crust. Remember that you need to hit an internal temperature of 165 F before they can be served. Have a meat thermometer ready. -- posted by ~Rita~

Marmie's Really Tender Crock Pot Pulled Pork

I was fiddling around with trying to make a yummy Pulled Pork for my stepson Jesse's wedding rehearsal party. I did one butt in the oven without soda and one in the crock pot with soda.

Just check the water occasionally.

Smoky Strip Steaks With Chimichurri Sauce

Tue, 01 Sep 2009 12:07:52 -0400

From: July Fourth, Published July 2007, on the Grill & Pairing of the Day: Big, Balanced Red Wines, July 2008, Food & Wine Magazine, Recipe by Laurent Tourondel. The chimichurri sauce made with parsley, garlic & olive oil is the ubiquitous accompaniement to grilled meats in Argentina; when serving steak, Chef Turondel often prefers its clean, sharp flavors to richer French sauces like bernaise or red wine sauce. The tang of chimichurri is especially delicious with his smokey steaks, seasoned with both smoked sea salt and smoked pepper. Make the sauce a day ahead - it will keep very well. :) -- posted by Manami

Traditional Jersey Bean Crock: the Original Baked Beans

Tue, 01 Sep 2009 14:25:13 -0400

Jersey is the largest of the Channel Islands.The island is usually the hottest place in the British Isles during the summer months, with the temperature averaging a few degrees higher than the mainland. As the island is neither part of the EU or the UK, it is a popular 'duty-free' destination. Jersey has a rich and varied history, with several wars and invasion attempts over many centuries.The island was part of the Duchy of Normandy in the 10th century and became part of the Anglo-Norman realm in 1066. The island's history is reflected in the French road names and typical Jersey surnames, as well as in the many historical French artefacts and monuments that can be found around the island. This is a traditional recipe, and no self-respecting Jersey woman would be without her earthenware bean crock, or casserole, in which to cook one of the most filling and tasty of all the island's recipes. So popular was this bean dish that every farmhouse had its bundles of drying French beans hanging from the rafters waiting to be shelled in the long winter evenings. Town folk used to hang their beans in the garage. For some Islanders this was a traditional supper dish; others had it for Sunday breakfast. Mr. Heinz is supposed to have taken the idea for his famous baked beans from the bean crock of Jersey emigrants in Canada. Prep time includes the overnight soaking for the beans. (This adapted recipe is originally from the Jersey Tourism Website.) -- posted by French Tart

2-Bean 4-Alarm Vegetarian Beer-Base Chili

Wed, 09 Sep 2009 01:52:26 -0400

The possibilities for this recipe are endless, depending on what kind of beans you like and carnivorous types checking out this recipe who want to use traditional refried beans, or vegetarian and/or fat-free refried beans. I was looking at various vegetarian chili recipes, and was always disappointed with all the non-bean "chunks" I kept picking up with the fork, or thought these chilis were too sweet. Yes, I love veggies but was always grossed out by tomato chunks (in spite of loving tomato sauces and my special tomato soup.) If you want to make this vegi-chili "con corn", a can of 15-oz La Fe corn is the BEST for this recipe, but I wanted to keep the posting simple so I left it out. 1-2 tbsp garlic powder works if you don't have chopped garlic at hand. All kinds of beer suffice for this recipe but I found that Coors Light and Corona really worked the best. All kinds of refried beans can be used-- I like using a can of vegetarian refried pinto beans with chipotles for this recipe, it's what makes it 4-alarm! -- posted by the80srule

Reblochon Tarts With Bacon & Fingerling Potatoes

Mon, 14 Sep 2009 15:25:34 -0400

F&W Magazine, October 2008 edition. Terrence Brenan s the author of this recipe as it originally appeared in this edition. From Pairing of the Day: October 2008, Strategies for Cooking with Cheese. With a golden layer of puff pastry topped by caramelized onions, soft potatoes, bacon and tangy Reblochon cheese, this tart is lighter than the sum of its parts, making for a satisfying fall dish thats great any time of day. The Reblochon, a washed-rind cheese from France, can be replaced with a robust Taleggio from northern Italy or the smooth French soft-ripened cows-milk cheese Saint-Andre. Wine suggestions: the earthy, berry-rich flavors of Pinot Noirs from Californias Santa Lucia Highlands work well as partners for washed-rind cheeses like the Reblochon in this tart. Jason Miller likes to pour the silky 2005 Logan Pinot Noir. The floral 2006 Morgan Twelve Clones is an equally good option Now that I have finished with the preliminaries I have to say these were delicious - with cheese being melted over the caramelized onions was a real treat - to say the least. ;) -- posted by Manami

It has taken several years and taking bits of pieces from here and there for me to make the perfect turkey, but It is so moist and has a wonderful flavor and always gets rave reviews. It's labot intensive but worth the effort in the end -- posted by GingerlyJ

Roast Turkey With Red Currant Jelly and Citrus Glaze

Fri, 02 Oct 2009 16:29:50 -0400

Every Thanksgiving for many years, we've experimented making different turkey recipes. This is one that the whole family enjoyed. Begin preparing the turkey a day ahead as it needs to soak overnight in brine, which makes the roasted bird exceptionally juicy. From Bon Appetit, May 2004. -- posted by lazyme

Roast Turkey With Prosciutto, Rosemary and Garlic

Fri, 02 Oct 2009 16:36:09 -0400

Every Thanksgiving, we've tried a different turkey recipe. This is a good one that we have tried. A mixture of prosciutto, rosemary and plenty of garlic rubbed under the skin of the turkey gives it a distinctively delicious taste. True garlic lovers can squeeze some of the pan-roasted garlic into the gravy for even more flavor. Begin the meal with an appetizer of chilled shrimp with lemon and dill, and offer a radicchio salad as a first course. Pour a Chianti Classico Riserva. From Bon Appetit, December 1995. -- posted by lazyme

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

Seared Scallops With Basil, Anchovy & Sweet Corn Pudding

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 13:12:28 -0400

The quality of the fresh seafood is key in this lemony, piquant dish. April Bloomfield recommends seeking out day-boat scallops, caught by fishermen who return from a day at sea with supremely fresh scallops that haven't been treated with any kind of preservative. If you can't get the "just-caught" make sure they are of a coral-color instead of a milky-white. Chef Alice Bloomfield - From Pairing of the Day: July 2008, Published 2007. Wine Chardonnays from Californias Carneros region are known for their lemon cream and fruit notes, a nice echo for these scallops. Two good Carneros bottlings are the melon-tinged 2005 St. Clement and the tropical-fruited 2005 Rombauer. -- posted by Manami

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 14:45:32 -0400

This recipe is from "Forking Fantastic"; a hilarious cookbook by Zora O'Neill and Tamara Reynolds. Also known as Ham with Bourbon and Brown Sugar Glaze, it's quite addictive, hence the name!!!! Great, EASY way to class up a store-bought ham for the holidays. I have added 1/4 to 1/2 tsp. of cayenne pepper to the glaze with yummy results - gives it a sweet-spicy crust - mmmmmmmm :) -- posted by Raquel Grinnell

so good! and so easy! my boyfriend and I seriously make this 2 days in a row so that we have a big pot of it. You can make it into a sandwich, or eat it with tortilla chips for a party, or you can put it over rice and enjoy it that way! This recipe came from a friend, she got it from a recipe book at the dollar store, I would have thought it would already be on here, but nope. So I figured I'd let you all enjoy it as much as we do :) -- posted by Rebel0219

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

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

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
