Chicken Pie With Biscuit Crust

Mon, 19 Nov 2007 20:22:06 -0500

Adapted from the Starvin' Guy Chicken Pie recipe in the Looneyspoons Cookbook. This is great for left over chicken or turkey, is low in fat and super tasty. -- posted by bud's mom

Courgette, Carrot and Red Pepper Tart

Tue, 20 Nov 2007 17:42:21 -0500

I'm not sure whether to call this a tart or a quiche, but either way it's lovely. It's great served hot with potatoes and salad, but I'm sure it'd be very tasty cold too. -- posted by Kitzy

Ham-Cheese Pie

Wed, 21 Nov 2007 22:59:39 -0500

This great quiche recipe is from The Collector's Cookbook (tear-out) of Woman's Day magazine, April 1975 edition. It is a great way to use leftover ham, and makes an easy brunch dish. -- posted by Kerfuffle-Upon-Wincle

Lighter Chicken (Or Veggie) Pot Pie

Thu, 06 Dec 2007 02:17:42 -0500

This is a recipe that I found somewhere and worked to alter it to meet my family's tastes. It's so versatile--don't be scared to change up your ingredients! Toss some fresh chives in there if you have them! The mushroom soup is our favorite, but sometimes we use cream of chicken for a change. -- posted by SmoochTheCook

No Noodles Tuna Casserole

Sat, 08 Dec 2007 02:25:52 -0500

Okay, everyone automatically asks where the noodles are when they see this, but trust me when you try it you won't miss the noodles one bit. This is one of our favorites at my house. It is nice when your budget is a little tight too. :) -- posted by Red Chef Mama

Lighter Chicken Pot Pie

Wed, 09 Jan 2008 14:37:12 -0500

Modified from Martha Stewart Everyday Food Magazine, Oct '07. According to the magazine, the fat content is reduced relative to regular potpie by the use of white meat, extra veggies, and phyllo dough instead of a pie crust. Comfort food, yet with a very light and fresh flavor...the lemon juice is magic. You can save some time if you have leftover chicken. -- posted by Podkayne

Turkey, Vegetable and Roast Potato Pie

Wed, 16 Jan 2008 01:54:29 -0500

This delicious pie is always a huge hit with our family. This comforting casserole pie is filled with vegies and turkey in a creamy mustard sauce which is complemented by the cheesey crisp potato topping. Its perfect to make if you have any leftover turkey and roast potatoes from Christmas day or dinner the previous night. I got this recipe from a "Christmas leftovers" special in a magazine and have adapted it to my family's likings. You could also use leftover ham or chicken in place of the turkey. -- posted by Brittney_xo

Sun-Dried Tomato, Feta and Olive Quiche

Fri, 25 Jan 2008 19:27:28 -0500

This is a truly delicious and easy vegetarian quiche that my family love. Its so simple to whip up on a weeknight and even though it has no meat is substantial enough to satisfy the hungriest of kids or partners. The subtle flavour of basil in this impressive quiche gives it that extra special "something" and you could easily add in spinach or any of your other fave vegies to make it your own. -- posted by Brittney_xo

Moroccan Lamb and Zucchini Pide

Sat, 26 Jan 2008 14:29:55 -0500

These Moroccan Pides are a fabulous twist on the traditional pizza. Lamb and pine nuts infused with Morrocan flavours and zesty marinated zucchini are encased by a crisp yet soft pide casing. They look amazing and taste even better and are absolutely perfect for any dinner party. They are also brilliantly complemented by tzatziki which you can purchase or make your own by following my tzatziki recipe (see Recipe #281724). -- posted by Brittney_xo

Meatless Pot Pie

Fri, 08 Feb 2008 19:10:07 -0500

Hamburger Pie

Sat, 23 Feb 2008 00:27:10 -0500

My mother made this regularly through my childhood - I think she got the recipe from a package of Pillsbury Crescent Rolls. It is now one of my husband's favorite foods (and he never notices when I sneak in a finely grated zucchini, which he otherwise hates). -- posted by OneEye

Mediterranean Chicken Pie

Sat, 23 Feb 2008 23:50:42 -0500

This is my lighter version of a chicken pot pie, with Greek/Morrocan flavors and a figure friendly ingredient list. The flavors are simple but different, the meal is surprisingly filling. I highly recommend the Moroccan seasoning, which I purchased at Spice House online. -- posted by Korkin'

Northwind's Southwestern White Pizza

Have you ever made a dish that made you happy? I mean really happy. For me, I ate one piece, and I was SO HAPPY that I still had three more pieces on my plate! If you like spicy food, then you will like this for sure. True, it's fattening and calorie laden, but hey - sometimes you just have to live a little, right? -=NorthWind -- posted by TheBurgerDude

Smoked Salmon and Leek Quiche

Fri, 21 Mar 2008 01:17:01 -0400

This is very rich and very decadent. For special occasions or romantic picnics. Emmenthaler cheese can be substituted for Gruyere, or use a combination of both. It is possible to use sour cream in place of whipping cream. It should not be necessary to season the filling with salt because the smoked fish is already quite salty, but do so, sparingly, if desired. Time does not include chilling the pastry. If you are concerned about calories and/or cholesterol, try substituting low fat evaporated milk for the cream - it will not taste the same, but it might make you feel less guilty! You could even use Julesong's Oil Crust Pie Shell #202023. I've not tried it myself, but it has good reviews. Moi? I think I'll stick with the original :-) -- posted by Daydream

Organic Whole Wheat Pie Crust

Mon, 28 Apr 2008 01:41:15 -0400

I played around with different recipes to find a whole wheat pie crust that wasn't dried out. This recipe, if done right is flaky and delicious. I use it for my apple pie and chicken pot pie alike. Careful not to overwork the dough, the more its handled or mixed, the dryer it will be. -- posted by Green Cuisine

Tortilla Pie

Wed, 04 Jun 2008 15:57:42 -0400

An easy and delicious version of the classic "Mexican lasagna." For an extra flourish, alternate spinach tortillas with plain flour or multigrain ones. If you don't like spicy hot food, substitute a can of chopped green chilis for the sliced jalapeños. I like to use a hot chipotle salsa, but a mild one is fine. For a lighter version, use lowfat cheeses. -- posted by Jim C.

Silverbeet (Swiss Chard ) Pie Aka " Grass Pie"

Fri, 25 Jul 2008 02:38:59 -0400

A great pie to add silverbeet to your diet. Even my children enjoy this open pie. You can use pre-made pie crusts or frozen shortcrust pastry sheets as the pie shell. It even turns out OK without a pie shell at all! I've made this pie gluten-free by using ChristinaCeline's Recipe#214686 as the pie crust and you dot need to grease the pie dish or cook the pastry shell before filling. I use light ricotta cheese and light cheddar in my pie to reduce the fat content- you can use the full versions if you wish. You can also add in some cooked diced bacon or ham pieces with the silverbeet if desired or add in some sliced chillies if you like some heat in your pie. My youngest daughter has now renamed this pie " Grass Pie" :) -- posted by **Jubes**

Speedy Chicken Pot Pie

Fri, 19 Sep 2008 21:57:12 -0400

I like to mix up everything for a pot pie or casserole in the am so that all I have to do is bake it when it's time for dinner. Well, occasionally, I don't get it into the oven soon enough, no lie. Ha! So, tonight, I found out that I could speed it up successfully. It's the easy way out, all around, I think, but we need those sometimes. -- posted by SmoochTheCook

Muffin Pan Sweet Potato & Leek Quiches

Mon, 29 Sep 2008 18:59:38 -0400

Well everything else it seems has its muffin pan version on Zaar: from meatloaf to pizza to apple pie and even twice-baked potatoes, but I couldn't find any quiches. I have posted here my adapted version of a recipe for Sweet Potato and Leek Quiches made in muffin pans that I found in a March 2005 issue of 'Fresh'. The recipe specifies chopping the sweet potato into chunks 2.5 cm (approximately one inch). Zaar wouldn't allow me to specify the size of the chunks in the list of ingredients. To make these quiches as appetizers, you could also use smaller recessed muffin pans, although that could be quite fiddly. For variation and added flavour, add chopped bacon pieces. And if you want to add some heat, add whatever is your favourite spice. -- posted by bluemoon downunder

Potato, Leek and Carrot Pie

Tue, 14 Oct 2008 00:27:38 -0400

Substantially adapted from Chris Walton's - a reader's - recipe in a recent issue of 'Woman's Day'. I don't like hot and spicy foods, but if hot and spicy is your thing, please don't hesitate to make the appropriate additions to meet your taste preferences: cayenne pepper, red pepper flakes, whatever... I've listed thyme, rosemary and sage as optional herbs to be added, influenced by a recent purchase of a rosemary and sage blend of herbs in a mini grinder - which is the most wonderfully flavoursome blend - which I've been using in just about every recipe of late. Fortunately, I don't often make desserts or cakes! -- posted by bluemoon downunder

Also known as: "Guwakaan Dleeyí & Dzískw Dleeyí" From the SEARHC (SouthEast Alaska Regional Health Consortium) website comes a recipe for using the extra venison and/or moose that it seems many Alaskans have in their freezers. "Deer and moose meat are lean alternatives to ground beef, and the vegetables work towards your goal of eating 5 fruits and vegetables each day.

Roast Potato Tortilla

Tue, 23 Dec 2008 15:36:56 -0500

Turn Christmas Day leftovers into a delicious Boxing Day treat: Roast Potato Tortilla! I've adapted this recipe from one which featured in the pre-Christmas 2008 Australian magazine 'New Idea' as an excellent way to give new life to leftover roast potatoes. According to the Zaar Kitchen Dictionary, in Spain, the word 'tortilla' refers to a thin omelette, the traditional version of which contains potatoes and Spanish onions. That I find intriguing as I've been making something similar for years - raw potato cubed and onion, garlic and herbs - simply dubbed by me as a 'Chip Omelette'. Very UNsophisticated but delicious nonetheless. You can, of course, use this recipe at any time of the year to use up leftover roast potatoes or any leftover vegetables: sweet potatoes, zucchinis, mushrooms, peas or corn. With a recipe such as this in your repertoire, you may well want to make extra roast potatoes whenever you're roasting potatoes. Traditionally, in Spain, Roast Potato Tortilla is served warm or cold. This makes it ideal for picnics, potlucks and take-to-work lunches. Untraditionally, if you prefer it warm, it is easily re-heated in the microwave.

Steak & Kidney Pie: the Way My Mother Made It!

Thu, 08 Jan 2009 23:50:08 -0500

I am a Brit living in Florida and brought this recipe with me when I moved here over 25 years ago - and it's still made on a regular basis. The secret is slow cooking the meat to increase the flavour. The addition of a good beer is optional and you may not want to do this if it is for children also. This recipe has a fairly long preparation time and should be cooked a day in advance of when you plan to eat it. A good steak & kidney pie should not be fancied up with exotic herbs, spices or vegetables. Some of my American friends have loved this pie although, on occasion, I had to substitute additional mushrooms (just before baking) for kidneys. You really don't taste the kidneys; they just enhance the flavour. -- posted by The Flying Scotsman

Lloyd's Squirrel or Chicken Pot Pie

Sun, 08 Mar 2009 00:39:28 -0500

DH started from fluffernutter's Recipe #137552 #137552 (which came from the South Carolina Outdoor Press Association), but made so many changes that I am posting DH's version. I'm not a fan of pot pie, nor squirrel, so I told him he had to take total responsibility for any squirrel dish he fancied. To my surprise, his creation was delicious and had no strange taste at all; the meat tasted similar to dark meat chicken. He had 4 squirrels, which yielded a little over 1 pound of meat. He ended up with 2 pot pies because he wanted a lot of potato, and used full 15 ounce cans of lima beans and green peas. Our pot pies were packed with vegetables with squirrel accents. I appreciated that no cream soups nor heavy cream were used. -- posted by KateL

Quiche: Veggies (And Sausage)

Fri, 20 Mar 2009 02:56:35 -0400

I made this quiche by looking at a few different recipes and combining them. I also had some deer oberley sausage gifted from an aunt, but really any sausage would work. Or not at all, I probably would have had all veggies if that sausage hadn't been in the freezer. It's kind of a southwestern combination and I served it with a corn and black bean salad. Delicious!

Cheese, Onion, Leek & Potato Pie

My adaptation of Huey's Cheese, Onion & Potato Pie. Huey (Iain Hewitson) is a larger than life Melbourne chef who has written several cookbooks and who features regularly on a number of extremely popular TV show. I have posted several of his recipes on Zaar.

Bridies

Sun, 12 Apr 2009 00:53:19 -0400

My adaptation of another of Huey's recipes. He describes a Bridie as "a South African pasty filled with spiced minced lamb... well, kind of..." Minced lamb is what Americans call "ground lamb". As I don't like my foods hot and spicy, when I make these I shall be omitting the sambel oelek (or any other chilli paste) and increasing the garlic. They looked so delicious that I'm really looking forward to making these. I'm also interested to learn from South Africans how well-known this dish is in South Africa and the degree to which this version has varied from the standard Bridie. If you are planning to make this recipe, please check the NOTE below the directions about a problem I had in posting one ingredient. For yield, I also tried to write, again unsuccessfully, "2 large or 4 small Bridies". Whether you consider this recipe appropriate to serving 2 or 4 will, of course, depend on the appetites of the eaters, and whether the Bridies are being served with other side dishes or on their own! -- posted by bluemoon downunder

Another fresh tomato recipe for richly flavored robust red tomatoes - Rowdy Red may be my first choice to try this out. From Sunset - they note one may bake crust, cool, wrap airtight, and keep at room temperature for a day before completing tart. -- posted by Buster's friend

Twisted Chicken Wellington

Tue, 02 Jun 2009 16:46:31 -0400

This recipe is based off of http://www.recipezaar.com/Chicken-Wellington-Puff-Pastry-Wrapped-Chicken-149540 but as I and my family have a severe aversion to mushrooms, I edited it a bit. I also ran out of patience and decided to tear up my chicken and just mix everything to gether about half way through and have found that not only is it much easier but also IMHO better. Due to running out of puff pastry I have aso found that this recipe is very good stuffed into egg roll wrappers. Cooking and Prep time is a rough estimate. -- posted by heres_johnni

Kate's Quiche Lorraine Souffle Style Extreme Variations

Fri, 12 Jun 2009 16:06:49 -0400

I invented these extreme variations of Quiche Lorraine at the end of ZWT5 based on Karen Elizabeth's Recipe #299242 #299242, taking advantage of the unique ingredients I had bought over the tour. Each variation I tried and pictured was great in its own way. Next time, if I had piperade sauce on hand (Julie B's Hive's Recipe #233205 #233205), I might add that on a wedge. The measurements for toppings are for 1 choice of topping to cover the entire quiche. Choose 1,2,3,4, or 5 toppings, and make a decorative pattern, allowing small wedges to be cut of this rich quiche. If available, Pillsbury's refrigerated pie crust works well (do not prick or pre-bake) in a glass deep-dish pie plate. I recommend very small wedges (12 servings), this is very rich. Serve with a side salad with vinaigrette dressing. -- posted by KateL

Cottage Pie

Fri, 26 Jun 2009 03:28:03 -0400

Layered ground beef with gravy, carmelized onions and mashed potatoes make up this old standby. Not low calorie but great comfort food and my husband's all time favorite. PLUS a quick way to peel potatoes. -- posted by Sarah Beverly

Turkey Empanadas Grande

Thu, 02 Jul 2009 02:32:18 -0400

This recipe makes two large empanadas. Be careful when placing the meat on the pie crust, it tends to make the dough soggy and tears easy. -- posted by Mrs. Cavanar

Turkish Spinach & Feta Borek

Tue, 18 Aug 2009 03:01:31 -0400

This is a wonderful recipe for borek made in a large dish rather than the individual little rolls. It is great served in squares as a side dish or you can even make a meal out of it with a nice salad, some olives & fresh bread! Borek of all kinds is very popular with everyone in Turkey but it is especially popular during Ramadan time. Time to make doesn't include the resting time in the fridge! -- posted by Um Safia

Tajine Malsouka -- Tunisian Chicken 'tagine' Phyllo Pie

Tue, 18 Aug 2009 17:03:46 -0400

When most people think of a tagine, they think of a thick, saucy, often fruity dish. In Tunisia though, that couldn't be further from the truth. This Tunisian masterpiece is a lot of work but is perfect for dinner parties & special occasions. It is a little like Moroccan Pastilla but without all the icing sugar! For greatest effect, serve this warm on a rimless cake stand! -- posted by Um Safia

Red Salmon and Spinach Tart

Fri, 21 Aug 2009 12:07:20 -0400

A Kraft tart which Ive so substantially adapted that Ive pretty much de-Krafted it, but I have left in the Philadelphia cheese as an echo of its culinary ancestry. If you havent used leek, onion and garlic together, they offer a subtle blend of flavours when combined. If time isnt a factor and you want to make a healthier crust, you could try a rice crust either from my Recipe #147043 or my Recipe #147047. Some conversions: 220g = 7oz; 100g = 31/2 oz; 210g = approximately 61/2 oz. -- posted by bluemoon downunder

Vegetarian Spinach Quiche

Wed, 26 Aug 2009 10:23:16 -0400

This is a simple, delicious, and healthy vegetarian dish! Quiche is basically a pie filled with egg custard, and sometimes vegetables, meat or cheese. I used my Better Homes and Gardens cookbook as reference for this recipe, but I changed a few things. I wish I could include a picture, but we ate it all too fast! Enjoy (: *Quiches can be filled will all kinds of things, including peppers, broccoli, and ham. Just be sure to keep the 4 eggs to 1 1/2 c. milk ratio for the custard. -- posted by Chef #1242666

V's Kicked-Up Shepherd's Pie

I remember this comfort food as a child. Been making this for ages. My boys recently requested it and when I came to get the recipe from my cookbook on zaar -- I realized I hadn't posted it yet :) This is a spicy flavorful warm you up on a chilly day pie! If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.... just kidding.... cut back on the white pepper and cayenne! One of our family favorites. Mmmmm Good -- posted by Vseward (Chef~V)

Vegetarian Tamale Pie

Sun, 04 Oct 2009 01:07:58 -0400

I combined two recipes for this and made modifications to make it vegan. Note that Morningstar Farms recently changed their product to include egg and dairy, so read the label before buying (not all stores carry the brand new bags, Boca is my second choice). Don't be scared off by the vegetarian/vegan label if that's not your dietary preference, this dish is a traditional comfort food. The best part is it's an all-in-one meal, you don't have to serve side dishes (although a dark green salad with a light dressing would go well too). Note that the photo to the side (from me in the baking dish) is the recipe cut in half. -- posted by danakscully64

Mme Benoit's Tourtière

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 11:06:48 -0500

Tourtière is a French Canadian meat pie which is traditionally served at Christmas. It may be made from pork, beef or a combination of meats sometimes including veal. Different regions in Quebec have their own traditional recipes. Some regions use game such as hare or duck rather than beef and pork. The pies should not have too much filling as they are just a part of the whole traditional Christmas dinner. It's usually served with tomato ketchup. This recipe is the creation of Mme Jehane Benoit, a famous Quebec cooking expert who received the Order of Canada for her contributions to Canadian cuisine. I found this recipe on recipesource.com and on blogger.com where it was posted by Lizzy Ferland. It is originally from the Canadiana Cookbook. -- posted by Dreamer in Ontario

V's Simple Savory Mexican Quiche

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 08:42:45 -0500

This quiche is beautiful & delish! If you crave something savory for breakfast try my simple quiche. These are ingredients I always have on hand and can whip this up a head of time or in the morning. Measurements can be altered to taste. If you like spicy, savory add more, if not, add less. The salsa gives this quiche a nice kick and the flavors of cilantro, sausage and potatoes add to the taste and textures. This is a family favorite in my house. Great for overnight company as it feeds alot. Serve with sliced avocado, sour cream or salsa on the side. -- posted by Vseward (Chef~V)
