Leona's Borscht

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 13:32:18 -0400

Ukrainian-style borscht - my mother-in-law's recipe. I have a jar of Sour Salt I use instead of the salt and vinegar in the recipe. I had only ever tried cold beets once or twice (ew!) before being introduced to borscht. I remember I was reluctant to try the weird red soup. What a wonderful surprise when it hit my taste buds! Now I crave it regularly. You may want to play with the ingredients until it tastes the way you like it. -- posted by fluffystew

Rice Porridge (Congee) With Century Egg and Pork (Or Chicken)

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 15:08:33 -0400

I grew up eating a Filipino version of Congee called "Arroz Caldo". My grandmother would have lots of dark chicken meat in it and huge chunks of ginger that I would end up biting into (not fun when you're 7 years old). Since then my own kids have developed a love for the traditional Chinese-style congee (also called rice soup) they serve in restaurants, especially during cold Autumn and Winter days. Some people may be uneasy about using the 'century duck egg' (or 'thousand year old egg' is really just as egg that is preserved in salt, ash and lime) but don't judge it in it's unpeeled, chopped up state - added to the congee, it really adds a yummy complexity to this dish, even my 2yo daughter loves it. This recipe is for you if you want a warm, hearty, simple and economical meal. Enjoy! (note: I use leftover shredded chicken or pork but you can poach your own prior to making recipe, and use the ground white pepper - it really makes a difference!) -- posted by mlao77

Creamy Sherry and Cheese Sauce

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 15:47:03 -0400

Delicious with everything but usually we eat it stirred through pasta as a pasta sauce. Can also be drizzled over chicken or pork. It is really creamy and thick and the addition of the chopped onion, mushroom and pancetta makes it quite substantial and filling. The amount of sherry is an estimation as we never really measure it out but it is approx 50g. You can add more or less as you like. The cooking time is really quick but spend a little extra time on preparation to make sure the onion and mushrooms are really really finely chopped and sliced. This will serve 2 as a pasta sauce but many more as just a sauce to drizzle over meat, up to 5-6 people. The serving sizes here are based on two portions only. -- posted by .x. Lauren .x.

Chicken 65 Curry

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 18:23:38 -0400

This sticky, spicy chicken curry is deliciously sweet and packs just the right amount of heat. It is to be scooped up with warm, chewy naan, then licked off of fingers.Your first step is to hunt down some curry leaves. Their flavour is irreplaceable in this dish - a bit nutty, warm, and citrusy. Used a lot in South Indian cooking, they have nothing to do with curry powder which is a blend of spices.Start by browning the chicken in a heavy skillet - make sure the oil is good and hot and the chicken has been patted dry before you put it in the pan. Dont flip it until it releases easily - if it is sticking, leave it - it will tear if you try and turn it before it is ready. Next, cook the onions gently over low heat for about 10 minutes to coax out the sweetness. Then add the spices to the pan to saute before the liquid is added. These three steps have a big flavour impact. As far as curries go, the ingredient list is very short. Which makes it a great curry for beginners, if you can track down some curry leaves at an Indian grocer. Serve with naan http://www.recipezaar.com/Naan-56245 . -- posted by College Girl

Hearty Stew With Moose and Guinness

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 01:58:56 -0400

This is a traditional-style stew with a couple of changes. Great use for moose roast, as the meat gets really tender. Guinness adds a lot of flavor, but can be substituted with any good dark beer or stout. Moose can be substituted with beef or lamb for a more traditional Irish stew. Use any root vegetables that look good, though the parsnip imparts a really unique flavor so if you can find one, I highly recommend it. Recipe can easily be doubled to feed more people. Note on the seasoning: Use whatever you like that tastes good if you don't have all the ingredients listed below. The beef base and beer provide enough flavor alone. Great Sunday dinner recipe as it slow cooks through the day and requires little prep. My husband said "Hands down the best moose recipe we've come up with so far." Recipe can probably be modified for a slow cooker, though I wouldn't skip the browning steps with the moose and onions. -- posted by Alaskan Iron Chef

Garden Fresh Fettuccine

Wed, 28 Oct 2009 17:11:48 -0400

"Fresh garden vegetables make this a special dish that's quick, easy, and downright delicious. It costs about 88 cents per person." Made this a couple of days ago. I was really afraid one box of fettuccine wasn't going to be enough, but it turns out perfectly. I used my mandoline thing to julienne the zucchini. Everybody in my meat-loving family enjoyed this hearty, healthy vegetarian dish. Very filling. I also used a big (like 30 oz?) can of diced tomatoes, drained instead of fussing with fresh ones. I also used the Parmesan cheese out of the container, but it would be awesome with fresh! As always, you can adjust the garlic, cheese, and red pepper flakes to your tastes. You could also use green peppers instead of red if you like. Enjoy! -- posted by Chef Skie

This recipe came into being one night when trying to use up the last of my somen. Easy and quick to fix, very little clean up time too! For those that don't like tofu, use a firm tofu that has been frozen at least 24hrs and then thawed (this will give the tofu a more "chewy/meaty" texture). Also, if you don't have chili oil, use a tiny pinch of cayenne pepper instead. -- posted by blueyedwineaux

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

Pomegranate Mountain Dew Jelly

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 17:26:53 -0500

This is a fun jelly that combines the taste of pomegranate juice and mountain dew soda. This is a great tasting cocktail, but even more surprising and great tasting as a jelly. I created this recipe because I had just a bit of pomegranate juice left from my pomegranate jelly making, and mountain dew because I wanted to try the mountain dew recipe listed on the site. -- posted by Whitney Donohue

Strawberry Lemon Marmalade

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 17:28:45 -0500

I just made this recipe, and it is soooo good! Beautiful, jewel-toned strawberry jam with a touch of lemon--I found the recipe in the Ball powdered pectin box. My chef husband gave me a bar zester years ago, and I use it to get a fine, delicate lemon peel with no pith. If you don't have a zester, prepare the peel to your preference, but be sure to remove as much of the pith as possible. This jam set up quickly for me, and I would recommend turning the jars after they seal to distribute the fruit pieces. I can't wait to give this as gifts for the holidays! -- posted by Deb Redfield

Our Favorite Chili

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 17:32:31 -0500

I came up with this recipe one night after I couldn't find my usual one. It came out delicious so I wrote down what I did and it has become our new favorite. It is a little sweeter than most chili recipes, but I think that is why my children have no problem eating it. -- posted by cookinupfun

Ragoût De Pattes De Cochon (Pork Stew With Meatballs)

Sat, 07 Nov 2009 13:04:21 -0500

This is a traditional Quebecois stew made from pork hocks. I'm looking for recipes that DH remembers from childhood. This one was found on bitsnbites.wordpress.com and grouprecipes.com .The stew is a modification of one by Jehane Benoit, a famous Quebec cook. For a richer stock, caramelize you onions and hocks until dark brown. You can use Recipe #356677 . NOTE: The cooking time doesn't include the optional (but recommended to reduce fat content) overnight refrigeration time. I'm going to be trying out this recipe before Christmas. The number of servings is an estimate until then. -- 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)

Chicken Patia

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 08:58:36 -0500

My favourite dish at my old local Indian was a Patia. Since I've moved away, I thought I'd try to recreate it so, with a little help from Google, I found this recipe. The recipe is in two parts - one is the base, which can be portioned and frozen for future use, and then the main part, which is really quick and easy once you have the base (the recipe of the base makes enough for three curries). If you can't get the jellied Knorr chicken stock pots, use 200ml of concentrated chicken stock from fresh or stock cube. -- posted by Snowbunny Andorra

Ten Mothers Garlic and Spinach Soup

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 20:06:17 -0500

Found this recipe on Care2 website @ http://www.care2.com/greenliving/ten-mothers-garlic-and-spinach-soup.html Adapted from The Roasted Vegetable, by Andrea Chesman (Harvard Common Press, 2002). This delicious broth, redolent with garlic and enriched with the vitamins and minerals of fresh spinach, takes its name from an old folk saying that garlic is as good as ten mothers. This soup is not only tasty and nourishing, it makes a comforting remedy for winter sniffles and sneezes. -- posted by SassiFras
