Chicken Risotto

Wed, 28 Jun 2006 21:08:11 -0400

This is a very good recipe for my son who is 2 years old. He isn't one for chicken, but will eat this. I put individual servings for him into the freezer so when the hubby and I eat something that we know he won't eat, I just pop this in the microwave. Very easy and satisfying.

Crock Pot Mexi-Meatball Rice Soup

A simple and comforting crock pot soup. It's so easy that the only work you have to do is chop the onions and cilantro; the rest is a "dump and go"! Recipe is very adjustable to fit everyone's diet preferences: if you're watching your fat intake and/or are watching carbs, use cooked turkey meatballs, omit the rice and use low fat or fat free toppings. You can also use low sodium broth and tomatoes, if watching your salt intake. -- posted by TheDancingCook

Crock Pot Orange-Curry Chicken With Sweet Potato Pilaf

This dish came from a long stare into the pantry trying to put together a meal when I didn't have enough sweet potatoes for all 6 of us and couldn't get to the store. But I had a bunch of little oranges the kids weren't eating. Sometimes necessity is delicious. ;) It's not as involved as the long ingredient list looks and I'm sure it would be easy to halve if you're not feeding a big family with hungry teens. -- posted by 3KillerBs

Crocked Brown Rice on a Budget

Fri, 02 Feb 2007 12:54:03 -0500

I threw this together and prayed! I am paid in 2 days and needed a good, easy and economical meal with what I had on hand. You can use regular corn and change the spicing to go Italian, Spanish, Mexican etc. I loved what came out and well enough to add to my 'weekend cook for the week' menu. You can also add chicken or any leftover meat to this and shrimp would work as well if added near the end of cooking. This is the only recipe I have ever posted where I will say ''use it as a springboard.'' I can tell you one thing; I have never had more fluffy or soft brown rice in my life. c.\2007 -- posted by Miss Elizabeth

Nice plain rice pudding - done in about 3hrs with just a couple of stirs (so not suitable to leave overnight or while you are out).

Bo-Kaap Cape Malay Kerrie - South African Cape Malay Curry

Fri, 29 Feb 2008 22:34:38 -0500

This distinctive and tasty authentic curry relies heavily on the special blend of spices, known as Cape Malay curry powder. Cape Malay curries are famous for their fruity and full-bodied flavours, making good use of local colourful vegetables or meat and fish, they are not as hot as the curries used in the Indian kitchen. This "secret" recipe hails from one of the steamy kitchens in the vibrant Bo-Kaap area of Cape Town; it was on a recipe sheet given to my mum from a spice shop in that wonderful area, in the 1950's. The Bo-Kaap area is a treat; the houses are painted gorgeous bright colours that won't fail to make you smile, there are always children playing in the streets and the haunting call of the muezzin will remind you of exotic destinations such as Istanbul and Cairo. And then there's the smell of spices that wafts through open doorways and comes rushing out at you as you walk past Atlas Trading, the local spice emporium. You might be just minutes from the centre of elegant and sophisticated Cape Town, but you'll feel as though you're in a different country. Serve this curry with yellow rice and a variety of sambals and atjars. -- posted by French Tart

Easy Jambalaya

Mon, 10 Mar 2008 23:24:10 -0400

I went to the Rainforest Cafe in Chicago a few years ago, and happened to order the Jambalaya. I had never had Jambalaya, and from the menu it looked a good choice, but I can honestly say, It was the best meal I have ever eaten. I have tried to make this dish many times, and have now (I think) simplified and perfected it. As an Englishman, no-one over here has even heard of Jambalaya, but I have made this dish for lots of friends, who all absolutely love it, and I swear it is the closest I have come to that fabled recipe. It is a cheat in that I use some store-bought items, but if you know how to substitute with fresh produce then let me know. I hope you all enjoy this meal as much as I do! -- posted by Chef #785168

Remember to remove the skin of the chicken and any really visible fat deposits. -- posted by HokiesLady

I'm a Michigan native, and don't do a lot of creole cooking, but I enjoy french creole food quite a bit. I developed this vegan version of the classic New Orleans recipe for my fiancee. It is a healthier version of the original that nobody will object to. You can add ham or sausage for a more traditional take. Traditionally this dish was made for Monday supper with the left over ham bone from Sunday. It could simmer away on the back of the stove while folks were buisy with the Monday laundry. -- posted by Chef #1180651

Lamb and Okra (Bamyeh) over Rice

Thu, 28 May 2009 23:20:14 -0400

I learned to cook from Palestinians, but I have altered methods. I learned to cook the meat in this recipe by searing/browning it on all sides in a pan. I changed that method to make the meat more tender and to create a meat stock to add to the stew for depth of flavor. You can make this with lamb or beef. Middle Eastern cultural preference is lamb but beef can be easily substituted (and using my method to cook it, nobody will know the difference). Time saving tip: if you plan to use lamb, most commercial butchers are happy to remove the meat from the bone, remove the fat, and sometimes even cube the meat for you. But you have to ask for it! Smaller/shorter okra are strongly preferred. Bud-like okra can be found frozen in most Middle Eastern or Indian grocery stores. Alternate idea for okra: omit the meat from this recipe to make a hearty snack to eat on pitas! -- posted by Ayah Elisabeth

Autumn Sausage Casserole (In the Crock Pot )

Mon, 22 Jun 2009 11:28:12 -0400

Easy peasy recipe adapted from A Year of Slow Cooking. After looking through the reviews at her blog, I see that cooks who used a 6.5 quart crock pot had problems with this cooking too much. My crock pot is a 4 quart size and I have not experienced that problem. I do think the stirring is a good suggestion and have changed the directions accordingly. You could use any sausage you want but the sausage does need to be partially cooked or smoked. Try chicken with artichokes, chicken with apple, kielbaska, Italian, andouille, or whatever sausage your family enjoys. This uses LEFTOVER rice so plan for that. I love leftovers. :) This could be gluten free if you are very careful with your choice of sausage. -- posted by WiGal

Mon, 13 Jul 2009 18:01:51 -0400

This is a simple, hearty comfort recipe that was based on whatever I had in the pantry last night. It's called 'rough cut' because it is meant to be just a "rustic", simple, easy, hearty, filling dish. There is to be No tedious MINCING!! :-) Just put the ingredients in the cooker. ;-) It's really easy! Just put the ingredients into the cooker in the order listed, ending with the chicken. You don't want to taste it after adding raw meat to it so adjust your seasoning as nearly as you can before the chicken goes in. You can adjust the flavors further after it's finished. Ours came out with a LOT of juice so, if you don't like it that way, consider draining the tomatoes, cutting the stock and using bouillon cubes instead. Or cook as directed and removing excess juices to reach the consistency you prefer. I ladled off about 4 cups of the liquid after all the seasonings married in the cooking process. I served it over rice. I thought about adding ground cayenne or red pepper flakes after cooking for a little added heat. Or just having them in ramekins on the table for those who'd like it. Consider substituting 2 LBS of ground turkey or chicken for the thighs. I'm going to try duck or venison this winter. Bon, Bon Apetit! -- posted by MW Savant

1.5 Quart Crock-Pot Rice Pudding

Mon, 17 Aug 2009 02:22:55 -0400

A healthier take on rice pudding. I've found sushi rice creates a great texture, but this will also work well with Arborio rice. Warning: this will not work with soy milk, I've tried it and for some reason the rice doesn't absorb it well! -- posted by Yoga Booty

Cabbage (And Other Good Stuff) Soup

This a hearty, comforting, and colourful soup when I was all tomatoed-out and craving cabbage soup. If you have a food processor, the preparation should be really quick and simple. Can also be made in a slow-cooker. Freezes well. -- posted by Génial Génie

Quick & Easy Shrimp and Pea Risotto

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 15:22:47 -0400

A really simple risotto recipe, full of flavour but a healthy alternative without any cream so can be enjoyed even on a low fat diet. My whole family love this and we make it regularly, it was just a recipe that came together after experimenting a few times. This serves about 3 with decent portions but is easy to double up for larger groups. -- posted by .x. Lauren .x.

Yummy comfort food for a Sunday evening, this is our take on the GA/SC classic; serve it over white rice (and don't skip on the raisins, they make a big impact even if you don't normally like raisins - they're totally different here). -- posted by larchie
