Hummus Extraordinaire!!!

Fri, 24 Nov 2006 22:38:25 -0500

The delicious Middle Eastern/Mediterranean dip of goodness! My favorite way to eat this is to tear off a chunk of Greek pita, scoop up a heaping helping of hummus & savour, however, many use it as a versatile spread. -- posted by ChrysalisUnfurled

Pan Con Tomate

Sat, 25 Nov 2006 19:39:04 -0500

Yes, it's bread and tomato! This traditional Catalan combination is great as an appetiser, or as a quick snack. It's also uber-trendy these days, and found on the menus of many fashionable tapas restaurants. Try to get very ripe tomatoes, beause they have so much more flavour than those bullet-like under-ripe excuses for tomatoes you'll find in most English supermarkets. Use a good quality oil - if you can get your hands on extra virgin with basil, it adds a little twist. The quantities below are assuming it's a light appetiser or one tapas, so you'll only want one slice per person. However, it's so moreish that you may find yourself wanting more! Don't ruin your meal! -- posted by Snowbunny Andorra

Mon, 11 Dec 2006 16:28:34 -0500

This recipe comes out of a local supermarket magazine here in Holland. I think it's a perfect appetizer for Halloween or Thanksgiving -- posted by - Carla -

Easy Chocolate-Dipped Apricots (Apricot Chanukah Gelt)

Mon, 11 Dec 2006 16:52:02 -0500

This is a quick homemade candy delicacy that can also be used as a tastier take on Chanukah gelt, inspired by a recipe in Martha Stewart Living. I used Ghirardelli bitterwsweet baking chocolate bars. After you make the chocolate-dipped apricots, read up on how to play dreidel and use the candies in place of coins. These morsels make a great gift for any occasion. -- posted by What's Cooking?

Creamy Roasted Garlic Hummus

Fri, 29 Dec 2006 23:50:17 -0500

This is truly the perfect hummus, in my humble opinion. Roasting the garlic brings out its nutty and sweet flavor and cuts down on the sharpness. It's well worth the time! Try it, I don't think you'll be disappointed. -- posted by What's Cooking?

Patatas Bravas - Potatoes for the Brave, Spanish Style!

Tue, 01 May 2007 11:37:10 -0400

There are many recipes for this famous Spanish tapas dish - this recipe was given to me by a Spanish friend from Madrid, and is the only recipe I use now..........I like the fact that the potatoes are baked in the oven, making it easier to prepare & socialise with a glass of Sangria or two! In Spain, Patatas Bravas is often served with mayonnaise or alioli - however you choose to serve it, this is a "must" for your Tapas table! -- posted by French Tart

Salsa Verde

Sun, 24 Jun 2007 23:03:43 -0400

This is how I usually make my salsa verde. You might try charring the tomatillos on a comal or dry frying pan instead of boiling them in the water for a roasted flavor. As written, it is a fairly mild salsa, so I recommend adjusting heat to taste. Recipe is from Vegetarian Planet. -- posted by cookiedog

Vegan Chocolate Carob Farina Nut Cookies

Walnut Meatballs (Vegan)

Sat, 07 Jul 2007 14:36:24 -0400

A very healthy alternative to meatballs. I'm always looking for yummy vegan food and I'm especially looking forward to trying this one. Many of my favorite vegan recipes come from the Micheff Sisters, Brenda Walsh, Cinda Sanders and Linda Johnson, on 3ABN. This is one of Brenda's recipes. Suggestions: These walnut balls can be made ahead of time and frozen. Can also use them in other sauces such as spaghetti sauce. Try making them a little smaller and using them for an appetizer. For crispier texture, fry them in a little canola oil instead of baking them. UPDATE: We finally tried this and were not disappointed! Made this with my Quick Vegan Pesto Alfredo Sauce (Recipe #246616) and Onion Herb Foccacia Bread (Recipe #246431)and it tasted terrific! I could see how frying them in a little oil would make them taste better plain, but I couldn't tell that much of a difference with them in the sauce and it's so much healthier having them baked. I'm going to try to make these again this weekend with a vegan gravy and hope it turns out just as good! I've had it now with sweeet and sour sauce and it tasted really nice. -- posted by Enjolinfam

Marinated Mushrooms

Mon, 23 Jul 2007 21:55:16 -0400

Sourced from www.taste.com.au This recipe lists as serving 12 as finger food. Toothpick food really :) It's very easy to halve. I quartered my mushies as they were quite large. Preparation Time is marination time. I thought they were even better the next day with some hot crusty bread. Matt has also lightly grilled (broiled) them and was very happy with the results and prefers them like this. -- posted by Rhiannon&Matt.gauci

Homemade Guacamole

Fri, 27 Jul 2007 19:58:53 -0400

To peel & dice my avocados I slice down the middle, from the top to the pip, then follow the pip all the way around slicing to meet the slice made from the top. Then twist to separate, toss the pip & score the avocado flesh, and invert it like you would do with mango.

Marinated Green Olives - Chakistes Kibrisli Style

Tue, 16 Oct 2007 23:01:01 -0400

My parents were taught as a child in Cyprus how to prepare their own olives, it's a long process but this is worth it. The raw green olives are split in half with a special stone but seed still intact, this allow the brine (salty water) to soak into the olives. The olives are then jarred with the brine and stored away for months. This recipe is not that process but it's the way it's marinated for Mezze's. Measurements are for personal preference only, you could use less lemon if you don't prefer it to be tangy. Enjoy -- posted by Chef floWer

Absolute Best Mango Salsa

Sat, 05 Jan 2008 18:11:47 -0500

I absolutely adore fresh mango, and this salsa is the perfect way to make them shine! The result is very fresh, sweet and spicy, and chunky...similar to pico de gallo in texture. Make sure you use mangoes at their peak...if they are too ripe, your salsa will be mushy. I make this often for guests by serving with blue corn tortilla chips (the color is so much prettier than plain ol' tortilla chips!) or serve alongside mahi mahi or other grilled fish. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! -- posted by Elle Woods Can Cook!

Chili-Mock-Carne

Tue, 29 Jan 2008 21:01:54 -0500

Yes, it's a vegetarian chili con carne using TVP instead of beef. I actually served it up to my family and my dad and brother didn't really seem to notice the lack of meat so it's a great way to sneak in a vegetarian meal! It's also a great meal for kids (maybe just reduce the quantity of chili though) as you use those supermarket dinner rolls or corn chips to scoop it up...it's messy but it's fun! -- posted by Hayley_11

Brown Rice & Quinoa Sushi Rolls

Sat, 18 Apr 2009 16:50:07 -0400

I like to make vegetarian sushi rolls at home and have worked on perfecting a brown rice version. I came across a recipe online that added quinoa to the mix and I love it! Adds that extra bit of protein to make this a well rounded light meal, snack or appy. I've changed that original recipe a bit and have streamlined the cooking process (less dishes the better!). My kids like to help roll these up. I've included cucumber, carrot and avacado as filling...of course you can fill with whatever you fancy. This makes enough to fill 4 nori sheets, which you can cut into 6 or 8 pieces each. Enjoy! -- posted by magpie diner

Tue, 02 Jun 2009 01:27:03 -0400

This is a recipe very similar to the bread dipping oil they give you at Bravo (an Italian chain restaurant in the USA). My hubby loves it. Serve with rosemary foccacia as they do at Bravo or with your favorite bread (I love french bread or sourdough bread with this). If you like things spicy, feel free to add some crushed red pepper. -- posted by JanuaryBride

Banana Oatmeal Drop Cookies

Mon, 08 Jun 2009 02:31:06 -0400

These wholesome, chewy oatmeal cookies, made without flour or eggs are good for the cookie jar since the raisins and banana add moisture to the oatmeal/walnut dough. -- posted by Molly53

Baked Sweet Potato Fries

Mon, 14 Sep 2009 15:05:55 -0400

The spices in these potato wedges really go well with sweet potatoes, but I've used white potatoes too. If you don't have the whole spices, you can substitute ground - 1 Tbsp whole= 1 tsp ground. These get snatched up very quickly! -- posted by lildebbie77

Coconut Oil on Toast

Vegetarian Portobello French Dip Sandwich

Wed, 07 Oct 2009 11:38:15 -0400

This incredible sandwich is the signature dish at the much-loved Seattle restaurant, Café Flora. The recipe is printed in the "Café Flora Cookbook". It's really a delicious sandwich and will please vegetarians and carnivores alike. It's easy to make vegan too. Start by preparing the mushroom essence (which can be made ahead of time). Unused French Dip Spread can be frozen. The mushroom essence (basically a reduced mushroom stock) can be made to add intense mushroom flavour to risottos, pastas, soups... -- posted by blucoat

Stuffed Grape Leaves

Fri, 09 Oct 2009 17:08:39 -0400

I didn't mark a "cuisine" for these, because they're a real Heinz 57! Dolmades are Middle Eastern/Greek, but these are my strange variation. Most people don't know, that you can pick your own grape leaves early in the spring, while they're tender, and just pickle them in water and vinegar - there's nothing special about the grape leaves you buy in the store. They reheat just fine in the microwave. -- posted by BritHans

Injera (Ethiopian Flatbread)

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 01:37:52 -0400

This is a sour, spongy bread from Ethiopia, served at nearly every meal. In the homeland this bread is made as a sourdough. This recipe is a modification for America kitchens by Marcus Samuelsson. Lay a piece of it on the hugest plate you have. In the center of it put a dipper of your finest, zestiest, most mouthwatering stew. Now, eat the stew tearing off pieces of the bread from the sides & scooping up the stew. Need another piece of injera?! Sure! It could take 2 or 3 pieces to scoop up all that wonderful stew. -- posted by lwatkins

Harissa-Spiked Houmous

Wed, 03 Feb 2010 10:38:58 -0500

This recipe is delicous -- for a nosh, cocktail party or just an evening snack! I love these kinds of appetizers because they don't take much time, this one is vegan -- so almost anyone can eat it. I like to serve them with Pita Crisps: preheat oven to 375ºF. Split 6 pitas hrizontally into circles, then cut each circle into 6 triangles. Lay them in a single layer, rough side up, on 2 or 3 baking sheets. Use a pastry brush to brush triangles with olive oil, then sprinkle with fennel seeds and a pinch of sea salt or instead of fennel and sea salt use Mrs Dash salt free seasonings. For example: Table Blend, Original or Garlic & Herb, these have a flavor all their own -- try it you might like it. These can be made about a week ahead, just store in airtight container. -- posted by Manami
