Basic Seitan - Chicken Flavor

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 17:19:39 -0500

I have been making seitan quite a bit lately, and have been trying various cooking methods (baking, steaming and now simmering). One of the more difficult methods as far as consistancy goes, (so I've read), is simmered seitan. The following recipe I found in La Dolce Vegan cookbook, and it sounded so simple and mistake proof, I had to try it. I have now conquered my fear of simering seitan in broth!! Recipe can be doubled, and the pieces can be cut into nuggets, strips or cutlet sized pieces. -- posted by Kozmic Blues

Apricot-Walnut Oatmeal

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 22:10:15 -0500

My husband and I eat this every morning M-F. The oatmeal is low sodium, low sugar, high fiber. The apricots are high Vit A (beta carotene), the walnuts are high Vit E. Without honey, it's quite bland. Honey, I feel, is a better choice than sugar because it is antiseptic and is thought to help with allergies, from which my DH does suffer. -- posted by DonitaK

Lively Lentils

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 22:10:53 -0500

Sweet and Spicy Brussels Sprouts

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 22:17:44 -0500

I received the inspiration for this dish while trying to figure out what to do with a bag of frozen brussels sprouts I found in the freezer. My husband and I both enjoyed the end result. Adjust the ingredients to your individual tastes. Leave the bacon out if you want it vegetarian. You could use fresh brussels sprouts as well; they would probably need to be cooked for a few minutes first. -- posted by sunflowerseed

Eggplant Curry "no-Fry" Sri Lankan Style Using Coconut

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 22:26:07 -0500

Another recipe courtesy of the great Madhur Jaffrey. I'm often looking for new eggplant dishes, and can't believe I haven't tried this particular recipe until today, it's really very easy. From what I've read, traditionally in this dish the eggplant would be fried - in this version it is broiled which obviously cuts down on the calories quite substantially. I also used light coconut milk. I only had one eggplant on hand today and it turned out great, a nice side-dish or main for 2. I can imagine that by using two regular eggplants you would be able to serve at least 3, if not 4, as a main. Next time you run across good looking eggplants in the store, pick a few out and give this a try! (One last note, apparently the original version of this normally calls for 2 tsp of cayenne...wow, that would be hot. 1/2 tsp, as called for here, was just about right for us, but of course, season away as you like!). -- posted by magpie diner

A vegetarian, though not vegan meatloaf that I love. Its a pretty new recipe, one that was invented last night, so feel free to deviate. But, we've already eaten it all :) Deceptively simple, even if the ingredient list is long. Many of the measurements aren't exact, and can be adjusted to taste and preference. Easiest to make with two people. -- posted by emilyzee

Just Right Spinach & Chickpea Curry (Vegan) - Chole Palak

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 07:58:39 -0500

I called this just right because it was just the right recipe for the amount of time I wanted to spend on cooking it, and it has just the right amount of ingredients, mainly pantry staples so I wasn't scrounging around for substitutes.

Mushroom Kebabs for the Grill

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 08:07:52 -0500

I tasted these first at a Saturday Farmers' Market at Stellenbosch (near Cape Town). The lady who sold them had several types of mushrooms on her skewers and grilled them over coals -- so use as many types of mushrooms as you can get -- or one type only, they'll still be good! Having enjoyed them once again at the Market, I imitated them, but I think my marinade is better than hers!! Quick and easy, and grill along with the meat. On hot coals or charcoal this takes only a few minutes -- do not try and get them to be soft, as they'll break up. Put them on with the meat, and turn them gently with tongs, as they shrink and can slide off the skewers easily. If they catch here and there, no matter. Delicious!! -- posted by Zurie

Gourmet Pearl Couscous Salad With Vegetables and Cashew Nuts and

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 12:06:48 -0500

Blu Gourmet Pearl Couscous (GI 52) now carries the GI Symbol. Unlike traditional couscous, pearl couscous which takes its name from its pearl-like shape and size is often described as a toasted pasta specialty. Like regular pasta, it is made from hard (durum) wheat and water. But instead of being dried, it is toasted in an open flame oven. It has a rich, nutty flavour and a chewy texture, with a smooth, almost buttery mouth feel. It makes a perfect side dish to meat, poultry, or fish instead of potatoes, rice, or traditional pastas or couscous. It cooks in around 10 minutes by the absorption method just like rice and you can also use it in a variety of dishes just like rice and other pastas. Product ambassador, chef Gabriel Gate, has developed a number of recipes using pearl couscous. Youll find it will serve around 10 people at a barbecue and is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. Serves 6. -- posted by Kiwi Kathy

Habanero Mango Hot Sauce

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 14:26:18 -0500

I blend fresh organic carrots, mango, onions, garlic, and a hint of lime juice with the Habanero. The result is a pepper sauce that harmonizes heat and flavor without the overpowering pungency found in traditional vinegar-based hot sauces. Creating a spicy but not overpowering sauce that allows you to spice your food without drowning out the original flavor. The capsaicin is not only hot on the tongue, it is brutal on the eyes or in cuts on your fingers. When preparing peppers you can wear rubber gloves to protect your hands and keep your hands clean. capsaicin has a way of staying on your hands even after washing. Safety glasses will help you avoid splashes or touching your eyes while cutting and cleaning peppers. The steam from boiling vinegar is very strong. Avoid breathing it. Cooking your hot sauce will help blend the flavors together, break down pieces of solid ingredients and pasteurize the sauce. It is an important step which should only be skipped if the sauce will be used up completely within 1 week. Bottles can be bought at http://www.leeners.com/index.html -- posted by ~Rita~

Heavenly Grilled Corn!

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 14:33:12 -0500

My husband fired up the grill a few nights ago, and as always my job was to come up with a good vegetable or two. The Mississippi yellow corn looked so fresh and fat at the Farmer's Market that I decided to make up a recipe. Big success! We'll be having this often. The stripping of the husks and re-wrapping is a bit "fiddly," I admit, but the presentation is attractive, so worth doing if you are entertaining at a barbecue. -- posted by La Dilettante

Showy but Simple Fruit Kabobs - Perfect for a Party

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 16:30:59 -0500

I was looking for a fruit "something" that would be finger food friendly for a shower this weekend. Wanted something a little showy for the buffet table, and was surprised that I couldn't find anything on zaar involving fruit and a skewer. :) Shock horror! I ended up on www.justjennrecipies.com and found this idea. It's nothing you couldn't figure out on your own, pretty basic, but it gave me an idea to work with. You could serve with one of the many fruit dip recipes here on the zaar - or as is, which is what I'm planning to do. I'll post some pics once it's done! -- posted by magpie diner

La La La Bamba! Mexican Dip Ole'!

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 16:31:18 -0500

This recipe comes from my friend Ann in Maryland. I have made this many times, and it's always devoured! It's not necessarily "quick and easy," because I hand-chop the olives and make my own guacamole, but the extra effort makes a big difference. Ann's original recipe did not call for jalapeno and cilantro, but I love it! She isn't an olive lover, so she omits those. Really a great dip that can be fiddled with to suit individual tastes! -- posted by La Dilettante

The End of All Things Vegetable Broth

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 02:00:48 -0500

This is an inexpensive, easy, and so very tasty way to make vegetable broth. And so thrifty! I just love no waste! The options are plentiful! I freeze in 1 cup plastic containers or zip lock bags to use in soups, sauces, cooking rice, etc. The computer needs volume so I have put approximate amounts for the veggies, but use how much you want. It all depends on what veggies you use frequently. Sometimes I add a little tomato paste or leftover sauce, leftover gravy, whatever would enhance the flavor of the broth. Have fun! -- posted by Sharon123

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

Roasted Winter Squash Soup

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 14:58:55 -0500

Pumpkin and winter squash are so nutritious & versatile. I just love them. Rich taste, full of beta carotene, filling but not fattening & inexpensive - gotta love these vegies! Used a Golden Butternut to make this soup last night. It was the first use of our version of Sherry Peppers (habaneros, cinnamon sticks, allspice berries, black peppercorns in dry sherry) - turned out mighty well. I subbed hot pepper & dry sherry into this recipe as Bermuda Sherry Pepper is hard to come by. The squash cooked down to a beautiful thick orange base that did not need pureeing - the carrot bits were soft too but added a bit of texture which was appealing. Keeps well for reheating in microwave without separating too. Posting at request of DN who wants the recipe after tasting. We served with hot fresh Recipe#118283 made with rosemary & sultanas. -- posted by Buster's friend

Trisha Yearwood says every February, when it's Garth Brooks birthday, she makes this beautiful and delicious cake for him. She says last fall, Garth made a sad statement like only three more months until you make me that awesome German chocolate cake again! She made the cake the next day. She doubles the frosting recipe to frost the entire cake, because Garth likes extra frosting, but one recipe will frost the tops of the layers and do the trick just fine- unless you are Garth! If you have some frosting left over, it's good spread on graham cracker or on brownies. Okay, it's also good right off the spoon! Enjoy! -- posted by Sharon123

I have been making cheesecakes for a long time but this took my breath away and it is scrumptious! ;) CuisineAtHome - Issue 78, December 2009..Cooling times have not been included, about 3 to 24 hours. -- posted by Manami

Roasted Baby Potatoes and Vegetables

Sat, 07 Nov 2009 12:44:40 -0500

I was at a friends house helping her cook a Moroccan meal, and she needed a side dish of baby red and white potatoes and some vegetables. What I came up with, with her, was this side dish. If you find that there some potatoes larger than others (and there were in the packages she bought), cut those in half. -- posted by Studentchef

Light Cream of Tomato and Pumpkin Soup

Sat, 07 Nov 2009 12:53:36 -0500

tastes like summer but warms you through in the middle of winter when there's precious little fresh veggies to be had. this is just a general outline. would lend itself well to substitutions like more milk or evaporated milk, spaghetti squash instead of pumpkin, change the spices, add more veggies, even brown rice maybe -- posted by spiritussancto

Savory Sourdough Curry Muffins

Sweet Savory and Spicy Potato Salad

Sat, 07 Nov 2009 13:17:07 -0500

My friend Tricia made this for a cookout and I fell in love! It is the only potato salad I will make from now on. My husband never eats potato sald. He says "If there is meat around, why waste the time on side dishes?" He ate two HUGE servings of this......it is THAT good! If you cannot find candied jalapenos, just use one small fresh jalapeno (seeded and minced) and a tablespoon of sugar....it is just as good. We love curry, so we add more curry powder. Taste it and customize it to your taste! The long prep time is the passive time needed to chill the potatoes. -- posted by LizP

Pumpkin Ice Cream With Maple Pecan Sauce

Sat, 07 Nov 2009 17:31:36 -0500

It's time for all thing pumpkin! Came across this recipe in The Washington Times. It called for breaking up gingersnaps & adding them to the ice cream when it is almost firm. I prefer to serve them on the side. Better to make the custard ahead of time - it needs a 3 hour minimum chill time (preferably overnight) before processing in ice cream maker. Once churned, eat it quick - it gets grainy when stored beyond a few days in the freezer. Actually it has the best mouth feel after about an hour in the freezer after being churned. -- posted by Buster's friend

Hawaiian Hospitality Banana Nut Bread

Sat, 07 Nov 2009 18:51:14 -0500

In Hawaii. the Pineapple is a symbol of Hospitality, so this "friendly" banana-pineapple bread with macadamia nuts is just the right thing ;) to serve when yo are having guests over or to take with you to give as a nice house warming gift or as a delicious treat for your hosts. I tasted this at a freind's house and it was delicious - she put rum & kahlua in it and was it scrumptious! :) Delightful. Enjoy this bread as a snack or toast and spread cream cheese over it for a tasty breakfast treat.September 3, 20005 diana'sdesserts.com. Didn't allow for cooling time. -- posted by Manami

Sugar Cookie Cut-Outs

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 09:00:53 -0500

I had misplaced this recipe and recently found it again. When DD was in Kindergarten the children had to take turns bringing a snack to school for everyone to share and DD loved to bring these cookies. I love this recipe because it doesn't require refrigeration before rolling out and because the cookies always turned out beautifully. The recipe is from a little booklet called Wilton Christmas Recipes & Ideas. Note: If you're using margarine, be sure to use the hard margarine that comes in a brick like butter, not soft tub margarine. -- posted by Dreamer in Ontario

Paneer Korma

Use the full-fat, Balkan yoghurt, or the sauce is too watery. It is good served on a bed or jasmine rice, or perhaps with naan or some kind of dipping bread. -- posted by BritHans

Peanut Butter and Pickle Sandwich

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 10:56:37 -0500

There are a few other PB&P sanwiches on Recipezaar, so I know I'm not crazy. These are only slightly different because after trying other pickles I think the bread and butter pickle chips are best for this. I use a brand called Bubbies which I highly recommend. -- posted by Ilysse

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
