El Torito Southwestern Caesar Salad

Wed, 30 Sep 2009 01:12:55 -0400

El Torito Restaurant's Caesar salad has been a popular favorite for decades; I obtained the recipe in 1994 when it was published in the Los Angeles Times and have made it many times since. The recipe contains some Mexican ingredients such as pepitas, which are roasted pumpkin seeds, avilable at Trader Joes, as well as at Mexican markets. The cotija cheese ia a Mexican grating cheese. If not available use any hard grating cheese such as Parmesan. -- posted by lynnski / LA

Tuna & Cherry Pepper Sandwiches

Sun, 04 Oct 2009 01:43:18 -0400

Found this recipe in Cowgirl Cuisine by Paula Disbrowe. In the book she says "her life sounds like a fantasy." After working as food editor at a magazine in NYC - Paula Disbrowe moved to Rio Frio, Texas, to be the chef at Hart & Hind Fitness Ranch. Not long after in 2005, she and her husband bought a 100 acre working ranch in Texas's Nueces Canyon. She shares recipes that exemplify ranch eating but with a lighter approach, like her chili made with turkey, white beans and sage, and tostadas topped with shredded chicken and crunchy citru slaw. This recipe is considered the best of the best exclusive! Have tweaked it slightly because of personal preference! :) -- posted by Manami

Gavin's Salsa

Mon, 05 Oct 2009 13:52:06 -0400

My son, Gavin, will eat a pint jar of this salsa a day!! He doesn't like "chunks" so I can 1/2 of this then boat motor the other half before canning the rest for him. We like it hot; feel free to reduce the habaneros or eliminate them all together. WEAR GLOVES WHEN CHOPPING PEPPERS! When I was working up this recipe, Gav was the taste tester (tough job, LOL), hence the name. -- posted by Junesjam

Roast Eggplant With Walnuts

Wed, 07 Oct 2009 11:53:41 -0400

This wonderful appetizer, when served with warm pita, marinated strips of red pepper & tasty olives, can be a meal unto itself... or tucked into a pita with the aforementioned for lunch, a very nice lunch. Per the Times: "This Turkish recipe is from Paula Wolfert's upcoming book, "The Slow Mediterranean Kitchen," which will be published in October by Wiley. Wolfert notes that the slower the grilling, the smokier the flavor of the eggplant. She thanks Dr. Ayse Baysal for sharing the recipe." Note: When large eggplants are roasted whole, you may notice black juices seeping out of the skin. If this happens, immediately slit the eggplant on one side and drain on a slanted board in the sink. -- posted by Buster's friend

Sarasota's Grilled Green Beans, Peppers, Olives & Fennel

Thu, 08 Oct 2009 17:35:25 -0400

This is a twist on many classic green bean dishes, but I really just like this dish. I used my grill pan, or you could use a saute pan, but the grill pan inside or out works so much better for this. I like the grilled taste it offers to this dish. I use red, yellow and orange bell peppers thin sliced, fresh green beans and olives. All tossed in a spicy balsamic vinaigrette tossed with kalamata olives and topped with grilled/fried fennel. A nice twist and only takes minutes to make. -- posted by SarasotaCook

Mike's Salsa

Sun, 11 Oct 2009 03:39:15 -0400

A positively delightful salsa recipe for any occasion. Do not allow the idea of using habanero peppers to scare you off! They really blend well and will not make the dish as spicy as you may think with the seeds and veins removed. If you are brave (or crazy?) like me, leave them in on one or two of the peppers and enjoy the added heat. -- posted by MrTink

Andalouse French Fry / Burger Sauce

Thu, 15 Oct 2009 16:16:01 -0400

This is a fantastic sauce. It's similar to thousand island dressing although it uses fresh ingredients instead of a relish which gives it more of a gourmet twist. I put it on belgium frites, traditional french fries and hamburgers. I love it so much I've started keeping a jar in my fridge at all times. A good tip to finely blend all ingredients is to (carefully) use a cheese grater on the vegetables, that way you're using more of the juice from the vegetables. -- posted by OwlMonkey

Classic Chili Rellenos With Anaheim Peppers

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 02:11:12 -0400

Anaheim's are very popular in Southwestern US Cuisine.Also called "New Mexican Chile". These were developed by Dr. Fabian Garcia in New Mexico about 100 yrs ago who was seeking a chile pepper that was bigger, fleshier, and milder. They got the name "Anaheim" when a farmer named Emilio Ortega brought these seeds to the Anaheim area in the early 1900's. This chile can be roasted and peeled and used in recipes or stuffed to make chile rellenos just as the Poblano Chile. Adapted from a Chili site. -- posted by Sharon123

Classic Chili Poblano Rellenos

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 02:11:21 -0400

I love chili rellenos and with poblano chilies, they are super good! I hope you enjoy this classic recipe, using poblano chilies! This chile pepper is often mislabeled 'Pasilla', which is a different pepper entirely.It is one of the most popular chiles in Mexico and has won the appreciation of many a chef worldwide because of the superior flavor it has over regular bell peppers. They have a tough outer skin that usually requires roasting and peeling before use. These very large chile peppers are most popular in chiles rellenos recipes, but cooking with these as a substitute for bell peppers in any recipe will enhance the flavor. -- posted by Sharon123

Habanero Mango Hot Sauce

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 14:26:18 -0500

I blend fresh organic carrots, mango, onions, garlic, and a hint of lime juice with the Habanero. The result is a pepper sauce that harmonizes heat and flavor without the overpowering pungency found in traditional vinegar-based hot sauces. Creating a spicy but not overpowering sauce that allows you to spice your food without drowning out the original flavor. The capsaicin is not only hot on the tongue, it is brutal on the eyes or in cuts on your fingers. When preparing peppers you can wear rubber gloves to protect your hands and keep your hands clean. capsaicin has a way of staying on your hands even after washing. Safety glasses will help you avoid splashes or touching your eyes while cutting and cleaning peppers. The steam from boiling vinegar is very strong. Avoid breathing it. Cooking your hot sauce will help blend the flavors together, break down pieces of solid ingredients and pasteurize the sauce. It is an important step which should only be skipped if the sauce will be used up completely within 1 week. Bottles can be bought at http://www.leeners.com/index.html -- posted by ~Rita~

Acorn Squash With Citrus and Chile

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 10:04:43 -0500

I really enjoy acorn squash and can't wait until the fall crop is ready each year. Zaar has a ton of recipes with acorn squash stuffed with just about everything, but after an extensive search I couldn't find one similar to this one. I was surfing the 'net and found this recipe at the Care2 website @ http://www.care2.com/greenliving/acorn-squash-with-citrus-and-chile.html Care2 says this about recipe: Something magic happens when you roast an autumn squashit transforms from a hard, grainy, starchy thing to a mellow, creamy, sweet miracle. Matching autumn squash with flavors like cinnamon and brown sugar is a natural; but we found a recipe that adds tart and spicy to the sweet taste of acorn squash, that is fresh and surprising but still warm and comforting. Why not switch things up a bit with this roasted acorn squash with chili and citrus! -- posted by SassiFras

Fire-Roasted Pepper Salsa

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 14:39:30 -0500

If you like hot food, this may be for you! I found this recipe on the Care2 website @ http://www.care2.com/greenliving/fire-roasted-pepper-salsa.html In 25 Techniques for Grilling (Harvard Common Press, 2009), author Ardie A. Davis makes a compelling case for this fire-roasted pepper salsa: it makes a great appetizer over cream cheese, a delicious side dish, or a complement to grilled foods. The trick to getting the peppers really fire roasted is to have the grill grate as close to the heat source as possible. On a charcoal grill, this means putting something like bricks, hardwood, or more charcoal in the bottom of your grill, so when you dump the coals in, they will sit higher, nearer the grill grate. -- posted by SassiFras

This salsa, often used for Huevos Rancheros, can be used over chili rellenos, rice, meats, etc. It freezes exceptionally well. Consider making a double batch and storing half for later.

Dutch Oven Camping Breakfast Love

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 08:17:50 -0500

Not the most descriptive recipe title, perhaps, but this is what my friend calls it and I like the name, so there you go. Nothing wakes up your camp-mates like the warmth of a campfire and the sounds and smells of sausage, bacon, and veggies. You will NEED a REAL camping dutch oven (get the cast-iron kind with the little legs and the lip on top for putting coals on the lid - if you camp much, this is well worth the investment). You will also need two hot-pads, tongs, and a heat-resistant spatula. A long-sleeve shirt and leather gloves are recommended so that you don't singe your arms and hands. Note that preparation time consists mostly of letting the fire mature. -- posted by Da Huz

Tom Yum Soup With Vegetables

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 15:04:14 -0500

Thai Tom Yum soup is a delicious and aromatic Thai soup. I crave this soup ALL of the time. I have brought this to parties and people always rave about it. Now friends always ask me to make it whenever we're getting together. I made it completely from scratch for years. A few years ago, I started using the paste and prefer it. I find it to be more flavorful. Tom Yum is distinctly known for it's hot and sour flavor. My version maintains the distinct hotness and sourness of the traditional soup but it also is slightly sweet and spicy. I make a side of jasmine rice and serve it with the soup. I noted the ingredients and amounts I use however, I encourage additions, deletions and alterations. I don't care for the mushrooms and I love broccoli which may come as a surprise to some. Broccoli is not a traditional component of this recipe but it's healthy and I find that it goes nicely with the broth. Play and have fun! -- posted by Proserpine79
