Rosemary Rice Roll-Ups

Wed, 02 Sep 2009 23:57:34 -0400

Tofu sheets (also known as yuba or bean-curd/tofu skin) can be easily found in most Asian markets, in the refrigerated section - usually next to the tofu. They could probably be replaced by won-ton wrappers or other similar sheet. I recommend cooking the rice in advance, so you don't have to wait for it to cool. Very nice with a yogourt or sour cream based dip (ex. tzatziki). -- posted by Génial Génie

These crisp beans are a refreshing balance for smoky, spicy ribs or a perfectly charred strip steak! Copyright 2008 The Hungry Mouse/Jessica B. Konopa."The toasty sesame dressing gets its sweetness from a drizzle of seasoned rice wine vinegar - and of course, from the peas themselves."

Kicked-Up Carrots

Mon, 14 Sep 2009 16:15:02 -0400

I hope you like this very simple and tasty side dish. If you wish, you can use fresh peeled carrot circles rather than baby carrots. In place of dried parsley flakes, I substitute with fresh parsley when I have it on hand. (Note: We like the full amount of horseradish. However, if you haven't cooked with horseradish often, you can start with 1/2 T horseradish then taste, then add the other half to regulate the flavor to your liking.) -- posted by Mareesme

Succulent Veggie Supreme Salad

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 12:50:21 -0400

This is a recipe I came up with on the spur of the moment at the lake. We needed another side dish to go along with the food our neighbors was preparing for all of us. So I went to my pantry and took a look around and seen I had some canned veggies that I could use up. Needless to say, this was a big hit that evening. The flavor is much better the longer this recipe is chilled in the ref. til time to serve. -- posted by Marsha D.

Oven-Fried Fingerling Potatoes

Fri, 25 Sep 2009 01:17:38 -0400

I discovered fingerlings at a Farmer's Market a couple of years ago and found the best method that makes them fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside. The parboil method may not be necessary, but otherwise it won't be so fluffy on the inside. Duck or goose fat is ideal for this, but I have never tried it due to cholesterol. Make sure to rough the potatoes up well in the colander to get a maximum crispness on the outside. I tend to eat them cold from the fridge the next day, but they can also be used as an appetizer with an Aioli dip or one of your choice. They are seriously addicting in our family! -- posted by nsomniak6

Spicy Macaroni and Cheese

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 12:14:33 -0400

From foodnetwork.com. This is the easiest way to make homemade mac and cheese that I've ever come across...in fact I've been altering all other mac and cheese recipes to reflect the method of prep in this recipe. I make this when I've got 15 minutes to throw together a meal (not including cooking time.) It doesn't hurt that this is a REALLY tasty macaroni recipe. Can be served as a side dish, but we're veggies so we usually eat it as the main dish. Hope you enjoy. -- posted by I Cook Therefore I Am

Simple but Tasty Potato and Pancetta Salad

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 15:24:59 -0400

Delicious potato salad recipe that I made up. I always make it for any BBQs or summer parties we have at home and there is never any left. Also make it regularly to eat for lunches and it always goes down well with my friends who sometimes ask me to make extra portions so they can have it for lunch at work too :-) A 1kg bag of potatoes makes enough for 4-8 portions depending on whether you are eating it as a full meal e.g. 4 portions if eating as a meal in itself, or 8 portions if serving as a side at a BBQ etc. It can be eaten straight away but it tastes better the longer it's left for the flavours to mature. I usually leave it at least overnight before eating but sometimes even longer, up to a few days and it tastes better the longer you leave it :-) Please not prep time does not include allowing to cool before adding the mayo. -- posted by .x.

I've used 11 different types of rice for it, and each time it was wonderful. It's a simple side dish, and sure to please anyone that comes through my door for a snack or a meal. -- posted by Canning_Queen

Lentils With Cumin and Asafetida

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 12:32:27 -0500

This is a wonderful Indian lentil side dish. Asafetida has a very strong, musky smell that many people find unappealing. Store it in an airtight container to prevent it from contaminating your other spices, and if you really don't like the smell, keep it in the freezer--I left it in my car for a little while and everything in the car smelled like it afterward. Despite the strange smell, I have not yet met anyone who dislikes the flavor once it's prepared! This recipe comes from a cookbook called Madhur Jaffrey's Spice Kitchen. All the ingredients should be available at any Indian grocery store. -- posted by Edana

Pakistani Style Bhindi Ka Salan (Okra/Ladyfinger Curry)

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 01:57:55 -0500

Back in the days when I was a child every time my mother made this dish it was considered a treat among me & my siblings. Besides potatoes & peas, okra/ladyfinger is another all time favorite vegetable among the Pakistani population. It is usually served with roti/chapatti & yogurt or sometimes with Masoor Dal (lentil) here is the recipe of a basic okra curry that was passed down from my grandmother to my mom & down to me. Its the tomatoes that give it a different taste compared to the other recipes posted so far. Note if you want to make "Bhindi Gosht" (Okra curry with mutton) after frying the onions add mutton, let it cook on medium low heat for 20 minutes, then follow the rest of the recipe. You can also add 1/2 cup water to make it a little saucy. -- posted by Bint e Naeem

Make these bite-size for a tender centre and crisp outside and use tongs for both putting the batter in the oil and taking the latkes out. -- posted by blucoat

Glorious Vegetarian Gravy for Roast Dinners

Tue, 29 Dec 2009 01:31:46 -0500

This gravy was invented by me to go along with those yummy roast dinners vegetarians are often excluded from. Whenever my parents are doing a roast beef, turkey or pork, I usually make a Quorn roast for myself and all the other side dishes can be enjoyed just the same! Our family generally does Yorkshire puddings (the best!), Brussel sprouts, roast & mashed potatoes, green beans, and sometimes even baked stuffing. This gravy is juicy, like one you'd get from pan drippings - not thick or heavy. It's full of alcohol, so possibly not for children if that's a concern. Enjoy!

Cauliflower, Broccoli, Olive Salad With a Parmesan Dressing

A nice salad for company or for any night of the week. Lightly blanched broccoli and cauliflower (still warm), tossed with olives, onions, a creamy Parmesan dressing and topped with crisp bacon. If you want, blanch the broccoli and cauliflower ahead of time and keep in a ziplock container or bag until you are ready to serve. If you want to serve it warm, just reheat in the microwave. I also do the bacon ahead and just keep in a small ziplock bag or container. This is a great salad that you can do ahead. Then just toss and serve. And any leftover dressing is great over vegetables, chicken or just as a standby salad dressing. -- posted by SarasotaCook

Unfortunately, the Bed and Breakfast is no longer there and the owner can't be contacted. She was a fantastic cook.

Garlic Feta Toasts With a Warm Olive Spread

Mon, 11 Jan 2010 15:39:43 -0500

I don't know about you, but I'm a bit of a soup and salad person, and once a week I have just a salad or soup/salad, soup/sammy for dinner rather than a heavy dinner. I make this quite often and serve it with a bowl of my potato soup or my chick pea soup, but you can use whatever you like best. Slice a few good fresh tomatoes or some fresh fruit if you prefer, and you have a great easy dinner. Two (2) nights a week, I really try to eat a bit lighter - and this fits the bill. But, it also makes an amazing appetizer, or a great side dish for any meal during the week. Simply put, it is just really good. Now whatever you do ... don't get rid of that cheese - Save! It makes a great spread on baguettes or makes an amazing spread for a sandwich. It will last a couple of weeks in the refrigerator covered. and, make all this ahead of time and just heat up, toast and serve. -- posted by SarasotaCook

Cornbread Spicy Sausage Stuffing/ Dressing

Tue, 12 Jan 2010 15:50:01 -0500

Sausage loaded dressing. Recipe #407287 was used to flavor the stuffing but your favored poultry seasoning will work fine. This makes enough to stuff the bird and have a casserole for crisper dressing. Leftovers can be frozen for future use. -- posted by ~Rita~

Spicy Creamy Tomato Rice

Thu, 14 Jan 2010 12:14:02 -0500

A dish that evolved after a failed attempt at something else for my OH. It is tasty, filling and easily made with staple ingredients that every fridge or cupboard has lying within it! It has almost the consistency of a risotto with the spicy taste of a biryani. If anyone can suggest a good name for this dish, please let me know! Enjoy. -- posted by Pretty_Smart

Portabello Bowls With a Warm Spinach Potato Salad

Sun, 17 Jan 2010 15:26:05 -0500

Want a nice twist as a side dish? This is a bit healthier, but still very satisfying. It takes my favorites from a spinach salad; spinach, warm bacon dressing, mushrooms, onions, and add some diced potatoes to make it more of a warm potato salad. All stuffed inside a portabello. I enjoy to serve this dish with pork tenderloin or some roast chicken. -- posted by SarasotaCook

Lebanese Rice With Sharia (Vermicelli) (Gluten Free)

Tue, 19 Jan 2010 15:42:38 -0500

This is similar to the rice served at our local shawarma restaurant without the gluten noodles. This is a rice that can be dolled up replacing the water with some kind of broth, adding onion fried until transparent in butter after cooked or even adding a hand full of pine nuts all depending on what you are serving it with but plain it is excellent with chicken cooked with Recipe #44858. -- posted by UmmBinat

Cheese & Butter Green Peas

Mon, 25 Jan 2010 10:47:42 -0500

Have kids who hate green peas? Well, everyone seems to have that problem! I randomly added cheese & butter to my green peas (despite being a lover of peas) and it tasted great! In fact, at the end of the day, I got more sick of the cheese than peas. Amount of cheese? One slice. (: This is even for the health-conscious...enjoy! For me, I can polish off the whole thing, but to be on the safe side serve this for two. (: You can do this for just about any vegetable, in particular non-leafy ones like carrots & peas. -- posted by Chef #1531879

The addition of fennel seeds and bulb fennel in this ratatouille gives an extra Mediterranean flavor. It goes perfectly with grilled meat, especially lamb. It can also be served hot or at room temperature and also makes a great sauce when stirred into hot pasta. -- posted by English_Rose

Roasted Green Beans With Crispy Shallots

Fri, 29 Jan 2010 18:01:16 -0500

This is an easy and flavorful way to prepare green beans. Roasting is a method I use often when cooking green beans, as the beans turn out tender with crisp, browned edges. The crispy, caramelized shallots and savory seasonings further accentuate the flavor of this dish. -- posted by MarthaStewartWanabe

This is a great sauce for pasta. We like cappelini, penne, or fettucini. Add shrimp or crawfish for a complete meal with a crisp green salad and some hot, buttered French bread. I make my own pesto and freeze in ice cube trays. This recipe calls for 2 cubes. Enjoy! -- posted by Trinkets
