Andouille Sausage and Peppers Marinara

Mon, 14 Sep 2009 13:53:45 -0400

This is a "wow" recipe that I created last night. I had been wanting to try Andouille sausage and finally found it at a local grocery. It gives this dish just the right "kick" to spice up your dinner, though feel free to add some red pepper flakes if you really like it hot! My husband took one bite and said "you have got to write this recipe down"! -- posted by Blos

Melanie's Rich and Creamy Green Chili and Corn Tamales

Mon, 14 Sep 2009 14:19:37 -0400

Idaho® Potato Pancakes/Roasted Corn & Poblano Peppers

Tue, 15 Sep 2009 11:36:48 -0400

Recipe courtesy Chef Harley French of the 5151 Cafe & Catering in Dallas, Tx. These quick & easy pancakes will be great with your favorite salsa. The estimated cost per serving is $1.00 Also a dollop of reduced-fat sour cream would be awesome with guacamole, of course - I know, it would raise the price slighly. ;) -- posted by Manami

Creamy Rigatoni With Gruyere and Brie

Tue, 15 Sep 2009 11:43:30 -0400

Why not substitute your favorite Swiss cheese for the Gruyere to make it more cost effective. Also, most soft-ripened cheese can work in place of the Brie - just don't forget to remove the rind. This is oh-so good!! Cooking Light Magazine, September 2009 edition.:) -- posted by Manami

Roasted Salmon With Peperonata and Balsamic Syrup

Wed, 16 Sep 2009 13:59:01 -0400

My brother made this for us the other night after finding this recipe in April 2009 Coastal Living magazine. The original recipe used Artic Char but we had a sockeye salmon that needed cooking. We have lived on the west coast, and have been eating salmon, all of our lives and this is one of the best recipes we have had. Although it looks long and complicated it really isn't and believe me the results are more than worth it. Preperation time includes the chopping of peppers and onions but is worth every knife stroke. The chopping and balsamic syrup reduction could all be done ahead. We used two large fillets which should have been enough for 8 people but the 4 of us ate it all! -- posted by southshore cook

Beef Strips With Hot Chile

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 01:18:50 -0400

The beef in this dish is coated with egg white, and should be stir fried very quickly so it will remain tender. Eating the red chile pod pieces is not recommended. Recipe from www.fiery-foods.com . Start the rice before slicing the beef & dinner can be on to table in under 30 minutes (a good dinner). -- posted by Buster's friend

Another lovely selection from Karina's Kitchen- Fabulous way to use up the peppers that are going crazy in the garden :-) I was short on olive oil, but it worked just fine with 2 T instead of the 4 that are called for. Karina suggests this is great to make ahead and refrigerate (just remember to add 10 minutes to your cook time) -- posted by VNess

Red & Green Potato Saute

Mon, 28 Sep 2009 01:02:45 -0400

I like this cause i love to eat peppers, I first thought of this when i was in college and had limited resourses and money, great for those who have gardens, or want a cheap, easy, and fillin meal for a family of 4 or reduce the nums and make just for you. (rub rosemary and basil in the palm of hand and add over all) (Add cayenne pepper to add a lil heat to it.) when cooking this dish you want to remember to keep the veggies nice and crsp when you eat it. -- posted by Lynn54

Chicken and Vegetable Quesadillas

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 13:12:09 -0400

Southwestern flavors abound in this quesadilla recipe. The chunky salsa gets a rich, smoky flavor by roasting the tomatoes abd peppers.

A really tasty recipe. Learned how to make these from three Italian ladies that are wonderful cooks. Peppers are sauted first. Recipe can be scaled down, and/or changed to suite your taste. I like to use red and yellow peppers for a change. Guessing at prep time, as everyone will have their own shortcuts. Recipe posted by request for a zaar friend. -- posted by LeahMarie

This dish from Chatelaine magazine's website is a combination of two brunch favourites: strata and quiche. This smaller sized version is ideal for a light dinner served with salad. You may add green olives to the dish if you like, but I didn't have any on hand so made it without. It didn't seem to affect the outcome one bit. -- posted by Irmgard

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

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

The gal from curves who gave me this recipe uses Wahoo Chili seasoning and Jimmy Dean spicy sausage. -- posted by JensKitchen

Better than anything you can buy. This is my family's favorite. But you can really make it with whatever you have around the house. I use mango salsa for a little fruit taste but you can use any kind of salsa, tomatoes, even spaghetti sauce and it will still taste great. -- posted by Chef #553668

Red Pepper Vichyssoise

Sat, 23 Jan 2010 23:31:30 -0500

This is a lovely soup to serve in the summertime, as it is served chilled. If you prefer, you can substitute sour cream for the creme fraiche. To make creme fraiche, just combine 1 cup of whipping cream with 2 tbsp of buttermilk. Once combined, cover and let stand at room temperature for 8 hours. This will make a cup of creme fraiche. Prep and cooking time does not include the chill time! -- posted by breezermom

Fettuccine With Spinach, Red Peppers and Smoked Cheese

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 12:42:08 -0500

this is a variation on a recipe I got from 'Simple Vegetarian Pleasures' you can combine all the ingredients into one bowl at the end but I don't like that the vegetables clump together so that one person gets spinach for supper and everyone else gets plain pasta. -- posted by sav_lee

Mother's Always Right Stuffed Peppers

Fri, 05 Feb 2010 10:20:14 -0500

Be warned, listen to my mother- when she says to be careful with the peppers when straining because they may fall apart, it means be careful with the peppers when straining because they may fall apart. I broke 2 out of 3 peppers because of my lack of direction following. I had to use the broken peppers and cut them in half, laying the filling on the top. -- posted by The Foodgitive

This is one of those recipes for which Mark doesn't give specific amounts. You just "intuit" it. I haven't tried this but am posting it here for safekeeping. Cooking and prep times are estimates (very wild guesses, actually). -- posted by coconutty

Spicy Easy Corn Casserole (Without Egg!)

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 12:16:22 -0500

Needed to clear some cans out of my storage space. The result? A ridiculously simple casserole packed with flavor. Feel free to use your own spice mix or taco seasoning, I use Recipe #389616. Something like Green Giant Mexi-Corn would probably work nice in this but I worked with I had at hand. -- posted by the80srule
