Anyone know of a recipe for fresh parsley and garlic sauce? From Cook's Illustrated?

I just had a great Argentinian style Fresh Parsley and Garlic sauce..... chimichurri. It's a recipe from Cook's Illustrated, but I don't have a membership.





Anyone know the recipe?Anyone know of a recipe for fresh parsley and garlic sauce? From Cook's Illustrated?
Here it is.


For best results use flat-leaf parsley.


INGREDIENTS





1 cup packed fresh parsley leaves from one large bunch, washed and dried


5 medium cloves garlic , peeled


1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil


1/4 cup red wine vinegar


2 tablespoons water


1/4 cup red onion , finely minced


1 teaspoon table salt


1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes


Process parsley and garlic in workbowl of food processor fitted with steel blade, stopping as necessary to scrape down sides of bowl with rubber spatula, until garlic and parsley are chopped fine (20 one-second pulses); transfer to medium bowl. Whisk in remaining ingredients until thoroughly blended. Spoon about 2 tablespoons over each steak and serve. (Sauce tastes best when used fresh but can be refrigerated, with plastic wrap pressed directly on surface, up to 3 days.)Anyone know of a recipe for fresh parsley and garlic sauce?

Argentine Parsley Garlic Sauce





Chimichurri


Makes 2 cups








Argentina is home of a pesto-like pugilist called chimichurri. The sauce owes its freshness and bright green color to flat leaf parsley and its pungency to tongue-pounding doses of garlic. (Talk about ingenuity: Parsley is nature's mouthwash, so it helps counteract the breath-wilting fumes of the garlic.) Those are the basic ingredients, but there are as many variations as there are Argentinian grill jockeys. Some even enliven their chimichurri with grated carrot or red bell pepper; others kick up the heat with hot pepper flakes or fresh chilies.








1 large bunch of fresh flat leaf parsley,


washed, stemmed, and dried


8 cloves of garlic, peeled


3 tablespoons minced onion


5 tablespoons distilled white vinegar or more to taste


5 tablespoons water


1 teaspoon coarse salt (kosher or sea)


1/2 teaspoon dried oregano


1/2 teaspoon hot pepper flakes to taste


1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper


1 cup extra virgin olive oil








Finely chop the parsley and garlic in a food processor. Add the onion, vinegar, water, salt, oregano, pepper flakes, and black pepper and process in brief bursts until the salt crystals are dissolved. Add the oil in a thin stream. Do not over process; the chimichurri should be fairly coarse. Correct the seasoning, adding salt or vinegar to taste.

Calling all cooks i need some fast recipes please?

Hi : I am looking for recipes to make my own homemade spaghetti sauce and pasta sauces, something quick and easy if u please and something with tons of flavors and not alot of fuss: can u help me please.... thank u in advance and have a super and safe and blessed weekend...Calling all cooks i need some fast recipes please?
There are 2 super simple ways to serve pasta that are always a hit and are super simple:


1- Pasta Carbonara


works best with spaghetti, angel hair or spaggettini


Cook pasta as directed on package drain and return to pan - then add 2 tablespoons olive oil,1 egg, 1/4 cup Parmesan, sat pepper and garlic and 1/4 cup cooked chopped bacon, ham, chicken or beef then stir until all noodles are coated and egg is cooked - serve immediately.





2- Scampi


2 pounds shrimp, peeled and deveined


1/3 cup olive oil


1/3 cup vermouth


2 large cloves garlic, crushed


3/4 teaspoons salt


1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper


3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley


3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, about 1 large lemon


PREPARATION:


Heat oil over medium low heat in a large skillet. Saut茅 shrimp; add vermouth, garlic, salt, and pepper; simmer until liquid is almost evaporated. Sprinkle with parsley and lemon juice. Gently stir and serve over linguini noodles (follow directions on box or fresh tray for perfect noodles every time).





Hope this helps!Calling all cooks i need some fast recipes please?
Check out Rachel Ray's 30 minute meals. She has a ton of recipes.
Try this spicy arriabata.





Heat about a tablespoon of olive oil over low heat. Add some red pepper flakes. (About half a teaspoon to a teaspoon or so, depending on how spicy you want it.) Cook the red pepper flakes for a little bit then add some finely chopped garlic. Don't let the garlic burn! After a few seconds, once the garlic is cooked, add some chopped up tomatoes. (I used canned tomatoes, chopped up-they are great and they are easy). Don't add the liquid from the cans yet because the tomatoes will release some liquid and you want to wait a few minutes to see how liquid to sauce is. If not liquid enough, then add some liquid from the can until you get the consistency you like. After a couple of minutes, when it is heated through, add some chopped basil. Add basil at the very end. Turn off heat when you add basil. Add sauce to cooked pasta. Finishing cooking pasta with the sauce. This sauce is super easy and really flavorful.
I don't measure, I just eyeball the following ingredients (use olive oil amt. on par with how much pasta you will be cooking, then the rest will flow):





olive oil


minced garlic


minced onions


basil


oregano (just a pinch if dried)


Salt %26amp; Pepper





Recipe 1


spinach (frozen ok)


asparagus (need to cut into bite sized pieces; frozen or canned ok if have to . . . fresh always better)





Recipe 2


Canned clams w/juice (whole and/or minced . . . I mix both). Definitely DO NOT SKIMP on clams.





In large pan, sautee garlic in olive oil. Just as turning brown, add onions. Continue sauteeing until translucent. Add spices. Add asparagus and spinach if doing recipe 1; add clams if doing recipe 2.





Cook until flavors meld. Serve over pasta.





Can add a touch of white wine for body if you like.
3 cans of diced tomatoes.


2 of the cans put thru a blender.


Put them in a pot than you have browned a diced onion in.


Add 1 -2 tbl chopped garlic


S%26amp;P to taste


handful of dried Ital. saesonings


handful chopped fresh basil


cook for 15 minutes - 1/2 hour.


Remember to start boiling water for your pasta. Always add salt to the water as this is the only way to season the pasta. The Italian rule to salt is make it as salty as the sea. So you can't add too much.


Good luck and good eatings.
well not sure if this will help but they always tend to have the easiest and simplest recipes....http://www.kraftfoods.com/kf

BEST OF LUCK
I really don't follow a recipe. I use a mix of tomato sauce and paste, obviously more paste means thicker, more sauce a bit thinner. I add in some Italian seasoning mix which you buy int he spice aisle and I add in white sugar, just a wee bit at at time until it's how I like it and I am way picky about my sauce. I may add in some water towards the end if I want it a wee bit thinner. Of course, I start out with a mixture of ground beef and ground sausage cooked up in some olive oil and garlic, drain and add to my sauce. I season the sauce as I go with perhaps some garlic salt and even parmesean cheese.
fun easy sauce


3 tomates


1 onion


1 green pepper seeds removed

    Chicken Saltimbocca





    Ingredients:





    * 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves,


    each about 6 oz., lightly pounded to an even


    thickness


    * Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste


    * 1/3 cup all-purpose flour


    * 2 Tbs. unsalted butter


    * 1 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil


    * 2 tsp. chopped fresh sage or 1 tsp. dried sage,


    plus 4 sage leaves for garnish (optional)


    * 2 large slices prosciutto, not paper-thin,


    trimmed to fit chicken breasts


    * 1/4 lb. fresh mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced and


    trimmed to fit chicken breasts


    * 3/4 cup dry white wine such as Pinot Grigio or


    Sauvignon Blanc





    Directions:





    Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Spread the flour on a plate and dredge each breast, coating evenly and shaking off the excess. Set aside.





    In a large fry pan or saut茅 pan over medium-high heat, melt 1 Tbs. of the butter with the olive oil until very hot. Add the chicken breasts and cook until the undersides are golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Turn the chicken breasts over and continue to cook until they feel firm when pressed in the centers, 4 to 6 minutes more.





    Reduce the heat to very low. Sprinkle the breasts evenly with the chopped or dried sage. Top each breast with a piece of prosciutto, then divide the cheese slices evenly among the breasts. Cover the pan tightly and cook until the cheese is melted, about 1 1/2 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and tent with aluminum foil, being careful not to allow the foil to touch the cheese.





    Increase the heat to high. When the pan is sizzling, add the wine and deglaze the pan, stirring to scrape up any browned bits stuck on the pan bottom. Boil until reduced to 1/4 cup, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the remaining 1 Tbs. butter.





    Spoon an equal amount of the sauce over each breast, then garnish with a sage leaf. Serve immediately. Serves 4.Easy Italian Recipes for my cooking class?

    1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese


    1 tablespoon salt


    8 ounces spaghetti or linguine





    Directions:


    1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).


    2. Heat oil in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium-low heat. Beat egg and 1/4 teaspoon of salt in a shallow dish. Mix bread crumbs, basil and pepper in another shallow dish. Dip both sides of each breast in egg mixture, then into bread crumb mixture to coat. Set on a platter.


    3. Increase heat to medium-high. When oil starts to shimmer, add chicken and saute, until golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes on each side.


    4. Pour marinara sauce into a 9x13 inch baking dish. Place chicken in dish and top each with a portion of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Bake until cheese completely melts and browns, about 20 minutes.


    5. Bring 2 quarts of water and 1 tablespoon of salt to boil in a large pot. Add pasta, use package times as a guide, and boil until just tender. Drain, cover and set aside till chicken is ready.

    Chicken-Fried Pork Chops with Andouille-Milk Gravy over Buttermilk Mashed Potatoes Recipe courtesy Emeril Lagasse, 2004


    Show: Emeril Live


    Episode: Home Cookin'

















    22 saltine crackers, finely crushed


    3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons flour


    1 teaspoon salt, divided, plus more for seasoning


    3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided, plus more for seasoning


    3/4 teaspoon Emeril's Original Essence, recipe follows


    3/4 teaspoon baking powder


    2 large eggs


    3 cups plus 1/3 cup whole milk


    8 boneless breakfast pork chops (small, thin cuts, about 1/4-inch thick each)


    2 to 2 1/2 cups vegetable oil


    8 ounces cooked and crumbled andouille sausage


    Buttermilk Mashed Potatoes, recipe follows








    In a shallow bowl combine the crushed crackers, 3/4 cup of flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, Essence, and baking powder.


    In a separate small bowl, whisk together the eggs and 1/3 cup of milk.





    Season pork chops lightly with salt and freshly ground pepper on both sides. Dust pork chops, one at a time, with the cracker-flour mixture and then dip in the egg mixture. Dredge pork chops with the cracker-flour mixture a second time, pressing to coat, and shaking off any excess flour.





    Heat the oil to 375 degrees F in a large skillet with 2-inch deep sides. (The oil should be about 1/4-inch deep.) Add the pork chops to the preheated oil, being careful not to over-crowd the pan. Pan-fry the chops for 2 minutes, or until golden brown. Turn the pork chops and cook an additional 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Place the pork chops on a paper towel-lined plate and keep warm while you make the gravy.





    Carefully discard most of the oil from the pork chops, reserving 2 tablespoons plus any browned bits in the bottom of the skillet. Heat the oil over medium-low and add the andouille sausage, stirring until warmed through and fragrant. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of the flour to the oil-sausage mixture, stirring constantly to keep from burning, about 2 minutes. In a slow, steady stream, add the remaining 3 cups of milk, 1/2 cup at a time, whisking continuously. Bring the gravy mixture to a simmer, and cook 8 to 10 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Season the gravy with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and remaining 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. Serve immediately over chicken fried pork chops and buttermilk mashed potatoes.

    2 tablespoons salt


    2 tablespoons garlic powder


    1 tablespoon black pepper


    1 tablespoon onion powder


    1 tablespoon cayenne pepper


    1 tablespoon dried oregano


    1 tablespoon dried thyme


    Combine all ingredients thoroughly.

    Buttermilk Mashed Potatoes:


    2 pounds Idaho potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces


    1 1/4 cups buttermilk


    4 tablespoons unsalted butter


    1 teaspoon salt


    1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper


    Place the potatoes in a medium pot and cover with cold water by 1-inch. Bring to a boil, and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, uncovered, until the potatoes are fork tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain potatoes in a colander.





    Return the potatoes to the cooking pot and add the buttermilk, butter, salt, and black pepper. Mash with a potato masher or heavy fork until fluffy, about 4 minutes. Adjust seasonings with salt and pepper, to taste. Place potatoes in an ovenproof dish and cover with aluminum foil. Place mashed potatoes in a low (275 degree F) oven to keep warm until ready to serve with the pork chops.
    i use this garlic an herb sauce with lemon juice that you can actually buy from and grocery store its great and taste like you spent a long time cooking it. And for quick pork chops i use oven fry its really really good.
    Salt and pepper your chops, coat them with flour, place in a baking dish and bake at 350degrees for 15-20 minutes checking them occasionally. When they brown on one side, turn them over so that the other side can brown. They will have the taste of fried without the extra oil, and they will be juicy.
    I would suggest you put them under the grill, about 8'; from the top element and grill for about 7 minutes each side. (3/4';-1'; thick)


    Add a few more minutes if they are thicker.


    Use a rack in the roasting pan to catch the fat as it drips out.

    2 tsp. instant minced onion


    2 c. frozen hash browns, thawed

    Cut down into hash frequently and turn with a metal spatula. Cover and simmer five minutes. Add crumbled bacon. Leave uncovered until a crust forms on the bottom, adding salt and pepper to your own taste.

    Hi yummy I love corned beef hash, all you need is potatoes and cornbeef.


    Bring a pan of water too the boil, us a kettle to boil the water first then put in a pan on the hob as it will boil quicker lol, and then peel and wash your pototoes and cut and then put into the pan, it all depends on preferace how many potatoes you use.





    Boil spuds for 30 mins they might be ready at 20 mins, just check by stabbing a knife trought them if it goes right throught and they ar soft then they are ready.





    Tip for the corn beef put it in fridge in the tin whist the spuds are cooking as it makes it easier and firmer to get out of the tin.





    Cut up about half the cornbeef, depending on how much you like it #, I love it so I use loads, then you mash the drain and mash the potatoes using milk and butter add a little at a time so they dont go to runny, then once mashed mash in the cornbeed and there you go corned beef hash.
    My mum does a lovely c.b.h ,you mash your tatties add to them a good tin of corned beef after removing fat,mash together then add a tin of heinz beans and a tin good plum toms chopped lots of lea and perrins and real black pepper than stir with a big spoon,it looks a bit sloppy,then place in a large oval dish add on top some crushed ready salted crisps and grate some cheddar on top, this is one of those meals that warms your cockles and is real comfort food also youve proberbly got all the ingredients in the cupboard.
    Good for you.


    Make some mash potatoes for 2 whilst cooking the hash


    Chop %26amp; soften an onion.You can add some chopped mushrooms. 1can of corned beef chop up %26amp; add to softend oninon [ %26amp; mushrooms]


    Mix togther until the beef is soft %26amp; onions are mixed in.The beef will melt down as it heats.


    Put beef into a dish %26amp; mash on the top.


    Sprinkle with cheese %26amp; into hot oven to brown.


    You can serve with a salad or some baked beans %26amp; some crispy bread.


    Bottle of red wine would be nice.


    Happy cooking.
    Mash up some left over potatoes, mix with a tin of corned beef. If you want to be fancy, sweat off some onion and (even fancier) garlic - helps to keep the vampires at bay. Then bung in the mash and corned beef, Add salt and pepper, keep stirring until some of the potato starts to brown. Serve with tomato sauce out of the bottle.
    Well, i do it like this:


    Boil the potatoes and mash them with some milk and butter.


    Get an ovenproof baking dish thing and empty a tin of baked beans into it along with a tin of mashed up corned beef.


    Put the potatoes on top of the corned beef + beans and bake in the oven until hot all the way through.


    Hope i helped


    :)


    x
    Put a can of hash in an ovenproof dish about 8';x8';x2';.


    Spread the hash evenly and make 4 indents spaced equally apart.


    The back of an ice cream scoop is perfect.


    Gently crack open an egg into each dent.


    Bake at 350 F until egg whites have set.





    I like peanut butter toast on the side.


    I have this as a supper alot.





    Very good, and easy too.
    http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Corned-Beef鈥?/a>
    Open a can, throw in pan, heat, slop on plate
    If you really want to impress the little ladie DO NOT use canned corned beef. Get the pkg of of raw corned beef at your local grocery store. Boil it with the pkt of seasoning that comes with it. You will need to do this for a couple of hrs until it is good and fall apart tender.





    Drain the liquid off and chop up small.





    Microwave 1 or 2 med potatoes until tnender. Peel and chop up small as well. (You only want a little bit of potatoes)





    Mix together and fry up. Serve with eggs, hash browns and toast.





    This will make up a lot but it freezes well. Freeze into 2 serving size portions and for 1 days worth of cooking you will have about 7 mornings of breakfast, or even dinner.





    You could also do the beef in a crick pot overnight or when you are gone all day.





    Please please please do not use the canned stuff. It is the equivilent of dog food in my opinion.

    here is an easy and filling recipe for a Japanese dish for Oyako Donburi (chicken and egg over rice) - http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Oyako-Donbu鈥?/a>








    Or try the recipes off this site.

    Lemon Chicken





    1 1/2 pounds chicken breast or chicken tenders, cut into chunks


    1/4 cup all-purpose unbleached flour


    Coarse salt


    2 tablespoons vegetable oil, 2 turns of the pan


    1 tablespoon (a splash) white vinegar


    1/2 cup chicken broth


    8 ounces (1 cup) prepared lemon curd


    1/4 cup hot water


    1 lemon, zested


    20 blades fresh chives, finely chopped





    Coat the chunked chicken lightly in flour, seasoned with a little salt.


    Heat a large skillet or a wok-shaped nonstick pan over high heat.


    Stir fry chicken until golden, 3 or 4 minutes.


    Remove chicken from the pan and return pan to heat.


    Reduce heat to medium.


    Add a splash of vinegar to the pan and let it evaporate.


    Add stock or broth to the pan and scrape up any drippings with a whisk.


    Thin curd by stirring in a little hot water. Add curd to broth and whisk to combine.


    Add chicken back to the pan and simmer for 1 to 2 minutes to thicken sauce and finish cooking chicken pieces through.


    Remove the pan from heat, add the chives and zest, and toss chicken pieces well to combine zest and chives evenly throughout the sauce.


    Serve With Rice





    Cook's Notes:


    Chicken broths and stocks are available in resealable paper containers, making storage of remaining product easy and on hand in the refrigerator; they are found in the soup aisle.





    Lemon curd is a sweet lemon spread available in most markets. It is on the jam/jelly aisle.
    Try adding a bottle of dry, red wine to the mix for a drink and you should do well.





    If you want a very simple, cheap, but extremely elegant meal follow these directions.





    1 fillet of rainbow trour or atlantic pink salmon per person OR 2 small chicken breasts per person


    1 large red onion cut into circles


    1 bottle of Kraft: Balsamic Vinagrette


    1 bottle of seedy dijon mustard (Earls is good)


    1 bag of baby spinach per 3 people





    First, cut up the onion into large circles (cut the onion whole and pop the pieces out of each other)


    sautee them in a little bit of vegetable oil until they're soft


    add in 1 tblsp of the dijon mustard, 2 if you're feeling lucky


    add in 1 cup balsamic vinagrette and half a cup of warm water. allow everything to simmer for about 20 minutes or until it's thickened up a little bit\


    In a separate pan, brown the chicken with a bit of veg. oil. Just for about 4-6 minutes on each side. (If you're using the fish, you're going to want to make sure the oils about an inch high and it's been on the high heat a while- cook each side for 8 minutes)


    Take the spinach and rip it up a bit so that the leaves aren't too big. Set it up on the plates you'll be serving the dinner on.





    Note: do NOT add the fish to the dressing while it's simmering. Cook the fish in a separate frying pan. However if you're using chicken, you may add it to the dressing while it's simmering. It sucks in the flavours and makes the chicken juicy.





    Dress the bed of greens with some of the warm vinagrette you've made - make sure some onions get in as well. You may also transfer the dressing and greens in to a large bowl and pre-mix them, however you won't have the opion of more or less dressing.





    Finish by placing the chicken breast (or fish) on top of the bed of greens, and lay another couple of spoonfulls of the dressing on top.





    All of this prep and cooking normally takes me about 30 mins, and i always get compliments on it. It looks like something that would cost 45 dollars a plate in a restaurant, but it averages out pretty cheap and its delicious... and healthy!
    the WRONG time to learn to cook is when your boss is coming to dinner. You are bound to 'impress' with your poor skills. It's time to swallow your pride, ask a friend or relative that can cook to come help you out, and admit it to your boss. Otherwise, the chances of him remaining your boss, become quite slim.
    okay lol


    how about buy one of those cassarole meals from betty crocker just add chicken breast





    or


    buy rotisserie chicken or turkey breast done already from grocery store by deli and can of sweet peas and mac and cheese
    Get one of those chicken chasseur cassreole mixes. He will be fooled into thinking made it all by yourself.
    Just get simple chicken breasts (I usually use the ones with bones). Place in a baking dish/pan whatever you have. Drizzle lemon juice (or you can use the real lemons). Sprinkle rosemary (a must for a good chicken dish). You could use dried McCormick kind or you could get the fresh ones from the supermarket. Salt and pepper. That's it. You can bake it with potatoes. Or you can make mashed potatoes as a side dish.
    Hit your local SafeWay. Buy a cooked chicken, a box of heat and eat Mac %26amp; Cheese and a box of Mashed Potates. Buy 1 pack of frozen mixed veggies and a bag of rolls. Replate everything at home and hide all the packages. This menu will feed 4 or 5 for about $22.00 Add a bake-at home Apple pie for another 3 or 4 bucks! You will look like an All-Star Chef!

    Too easy.





    Chicken and Dumplings





    Boil chicken with skin, bones and all until easily comes off the bone in salted water. (Dark meat will be more flavorful than white.) I use a 5 or 6 quart Dutch oven. Use tongs and fork to remove skin, bone and ';yucky'; stuff and save the water. Return the meat to the water and add heaping tablespoon of chicken bouillion. Return to a low boil. Tear 2 to 3 cans of biscuits into quarters (each biscuit 4 pieces) and drop into boiling chicken. Add pepper to taste. Biscuits will swell up but then shrink after about 10 minutes. Yummy.
    Stir fry with sliced chicken, beef, pork and vegetables (red,green peppers, onion, mushroom or anything you like). Cook the meat first set aside (keep warm) then put a bit of oil to stir fry the vegetables, when their almost done put the meat in, mix and add an oriental sauce (Ginger sauce, Hoi Sin Sauce etc.).


    Chicken Caesar Salad. Cut, season and fry the chicken. Cut up the Romaine Lettuce (wash first), put some Caesar Salad Dressing enough for taste add the chicken and enjoy.


    Season and Bbq steaks, pork chops (juices should run clear but a little pink is safe don't over cook them they'll be tough and tasteless), hamburgers (all you need to make them is lean ground beef and spices, form into patties and cook )add a baked potato (throw the potato in microwave to speed the cooking but poke it with a fork) and you got a meal.


    There are tons of sites that have easy and simple recipes just google away and don't be afraid to try something different it may turn out great.
    Foodnetwork.com has lots of quick and easy recipes.

    Hi, maybe you should join my recipes group (or just browse through it). It's dedicated to fast, easy dinners. See the link in my profile.





    I also suggest going to the library or a bookstore and getting one of those 4 ingredients or less cookbooks. The recipes really are tasty, and also very simple, which makes it fun instead of stressful!
    I LOVE the book dinner doctor, by anne byrn. My Mother in law gave it to me when i got married and I use it to no end. She uses canned, frozen, bagged, boxed, etc. and adds to them to make them really good and really fast, most under 20 minutes start to finish.


    One of my favorite quick recipes from my mom is


    frozen chicken


    minute rice


    canned/frozen peas


    cream of chicken soup


    milk


    bread crumbs





    you mix everything in a casserole dish and put the breadcrumbs on top and bake it at 350 for about 30-35 minutes. really yummy
    I really enjoyed this recipe. It was so easy to make and I had leftovers to eat for lunch over the next few days (although you could always half the recipe).





    You Won't Be Single For Long Vodka Cream Pasta


    Serves 4





    1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, once around the pan in a slow stream


    1 tablespoon butter


    2 cloves garlic, minced


    2 shallots, minced


    1 cup vodka


    1 cup chicken stock


    1 can crushed tomatoes (32 ounces)


    Coarse salt and pepper


    16 ounces pasta, such as penne rigate


    1/2 cup heavy cream


    20 leaves fresh basil, shredded or torn





    Crusty bread, for passing





    Heat a large skillet over moderate heat. Add oil, butter, garlic, and shallots. Gently saute shallots for 3 to 5 minutes to develop their sweetness. Add vodka to the pan, 3 turns around the pan in a steady stream will equal about 1 cup. Reduce vodka by half, this will take 2 or 3 minutes. Add chicken stock, tomatoes. Bring sauce to a bubble and reduce heat to simmer. Season with salt and pepper.





    While sauce simmers, cook pasta in salted boiling water until cooked to al dente (with a bite to it). While pasta cooks, prepare your salad or other side dishes.





    Stir cream into sauce. When sauce returns to a bubble, remove it from heat. Drain pasta. Toss hot pasta with sauce and basil leaves. Pass pasta with crusty bread.
    Thin sliced chicken breast-marinate in wishbone italian dressing 30 minutes or more. Melt margarine or butter in a frying pan or skillet, then saute chicken about 5 minutes on each side until slightly brown.





    Rice: bring one cup of water to a boil add 1/2 cup of rice, turn temperature down to low-medium (3,4) when water starts to boil again cook for 20 minutes. Perfect rice every time.





    Add steamed vegetables or a salad and you have a quick, enjoyable meal.

    Any food cooked in wine recipes?

    Yes, there is a lot of scope here. Cooking with wine is an easy way to add a 'kick' of special flavor or hidden depth to otherwise ordinary, everyday dishes. There is a very important 'rule of thumb' for cooking with any wine. Don't cook with any wine that you wouldn't drink! If it tastes like vinegar in the glass then you can be assured that it will taste like vinegar in your food!





    Let me give you a couple of ideas:





    Beef bourguignonne - cooked with red wine


    Red wine and beef just go together so perfectly!


    Ingredients:





    1 slice bacon


    2 teaspoons flour


    1/4 teaspoon instant beef bouillon


    1/8 teaspoon basil, dried, crushed


    1/4 pound beef stew, meat cut into 1/2'; cubes


    3 3/4 ounces canned tomatoes, squashed and undrained


    2 tablespoons dry red wine


    1/4 cup frozen pearl onions


    4 small whole fresh mushrooms





    Directions:





    In a 20-oz casserole, microwave bacon, loosely covered, on 100% power for 1 to 1-1/2 minutes or until done. Drain, reserving drippings in casserole. Crumble and set aside. Stir flour, bouillon granules and basil into drippings. Add beef, tomatoes, and wine. Mix well. Microwave, covered, on 100% power for 1 minute, stirring once. Microwave, covered, on 50% power for 10 minutes, stirring once. Stir in onions and mushrooms. Microwave, covered, on 50% power for 10 to 12 minutes or till meat is tender, stirring twice. Sprinkle crumbled bacon on top and serve.

    脿 Bake uncovered at 375潞 F until chicken is cooked (40-45 minutes), basting with liquids every 10 minutes to keep moist.


    Wine suggestion: unoaked chardonnay





    And here is a dessert if you would like one:


    Figs Poached in Port with Mascarpone Mousse


    (serves 4)





    12 Black Mission Figs


    1 cup Port wine


    1 tsp chiffonade basil


    1 Tbs granulated sugar





    1/4 lb mascarpone cheese


    1/4 lb cream cheese


    3 oz. egg whites


    1-1/2 oz. granulated sugar


    1. Destem the figs and make two small cuts in the stem end to form a cross.


    2. Dissolve 1 Tbs sugar in the Port, and pour over the figs in a small saucepan. Add the basil and allow to marinate for at least 1 hr.





    3. Allow the two types of cheese to come to room temperature.





    4. Combine the egg whites and the 1.5 oz sugar in a bowl. Heat gently over barely simmering water to 135 degrees, while stirring. Whip to form medium peaks.





    5. Combine the two cheeses in a bowl, stirring until smooth. Fold the meringue into the cheese misture. Chill slightly.





    6. Place the sauce pan with the figs over low heat and allow to come to a simmer. Poach the figs for about 5 minutes, depending on their ripeness. Carefully remove the figs from the wine an allow to cool slightly.





    7. Increase the heat under the Port until the mixture begins to boil. Reduce by two-thirds, or until the liquid forms a syrup.





    8. Scoop some of the mousse onto a plate or into a glass. Top with three of the figs and a drizzle of the syrup.Any food cooked in wine recipes?

  • What do you cook ahead for Thanksgiving and please give recipe..?

    How many days ahead do you start cooking for Thanksgiving?What do you cook ahead for Thanksgiving and please give recipe..?
    I make these things ahead:


    1 day:


    Cheese tray


    I select a variety of cheeses and slice them then wrap airtight in bags to assemble on T-day.


    Deviled eggs


    I cook for a large family, so I hard boil 3 dozen eggs and allow them to cool. Peel them, cut in half lengthwise, scooping the yolk and a bit of the white into a bowl. I mash them well and add 3/4 C.Hellman's mayonnaise, stirring well. Then I stir in 1 tablespoon prepared mustard and 1/2 tsp. white pepper. If you like yours creamier, add more mayo. Then use this to fill the egg cavities with. Cover and refrigerate.


    Non-custard pies like pumpkin, Dutch apple, cranberry raisin, parsnip and mincemeat.


    Follow your favourite recipe. If you're worried about time or oven space or inexperienced, you can always ask someone to bring a pie with them.


    Vegetable dips


    We usually have the ranch dip that is on the back of the Hidden Valley packet, the Knorr Spring Vegetable Dip that is on the dried soup packet, French onion dried soup mix that you stir into a 16 oz. container of sour cream and chill for a few hours before serving, and then a Yoghurt dip. Mix 16 oz plain yoghurt, 1 tablespoon minced garlic, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 2 teaspoons Louisiana Hot Pepper Sauce,1 tablespoon drained and chopped capers, and 2 teaspoons chopped tarragon. Let chill for a few hours to meld flavours.


    Tinted cocoanut for the mirrored veggie tray.


    I use a large mirror to arrange the veggies on and usually make little boats out of cucumbers to 'float' on the water. Put flaked cocoanut in a zip top bag, add a few drops food colouring, shake until uniform colour, and turn out onto waxed paper or parchment paper to dry for 45 minutes or so.


    Saute the veggies and add the herbs and liquid for stuffing (don't mix with the bread until right before I stuff the bird, though).


    I use 1 finely chopped yellow onion, 3 full stalks celery,chopped, and 1/2 C. butter to start. Melt the butter in large frying or saute pan over medium low heat. Add the veggies and cook until translucent. Stir in 1 C. chicken broth, turn heat up to medium, and add 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper, 1 tablespoon ground sage, and 1/4 teaspoon thyme. Simmer about 5 minutes, taste and adjust seasonings. I cool this and pop in the 'fridge until I mix it with the bread for stuffing in the morning.


    I also tear my bread into chunks the night before and separate them on cookie sheets and pop them in a 250F oven for 10 minutes. I let them cool and use a large Sterilite tub to store them until I make stuffing.


    If my grandkids are here the night before and bored, I let them make homemade ice cream following the freezer directions.


    Cheeseball:


    Mix with a hand held mixer 8 oz. cream cheese,softened; 2 oz. (1/4 C.) grated cheddar cheese,1 teaspoon Worchestershire sauce, 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper, 1 clove garlic, finely minced, and 1/2 teaspoon sea salt. Chill until firm enough to handle. I chop 1/2 C. smoked almonds and put them on waxed paper. Form the cheese mixture into a ball and roll in chopped nuts. Place on cheese pedestal and refrigerate. Remove 1 hour before serving to make it easier to spread.


    I also measure out my ingredients for dinner rolls and cover the bowls with plastic wrap before going to bed. Saves time and ensures I'll have a bowl to mix the dough in!What do you cook ahead for Thanksgiving and please give recipe..?
    You can cook some things 1-2 days in advance. I have a lovely recipe for cranberry soup that is best made the day before you serve it.





    Cran-Com铆 Soup








    3 C vegetable stock


    4 carrots, chopped


    3 beats, chopped


    1 pkg cranberries, fresh or frozen


    2 onions, chopped


    1陆 C cabbage


    1 C apples


    1 tsp taragon


    Pinch cayenne pepper





    garnish with:


    Fennel


    Sour cream





    Simmer the vegetables in the broth in a large pot, adding water if necessary to cover vegetables. When vegetables are softened (about 20-30 minutes), puree the vegetables in a food processor. Add additional water if necessary to reach desired consistency. Pour soup into individual bowls, garnish with sour cream and fresh fennel sprigs, and serve immediately.
    I usually bake my pies the day before both pumpkin and mincemeat.





    I also cut up veggies for a veggie tray and make dips the day before.





    I love the meal to be as fresh as possible, so the other things I do on Thanksgiving Day. I get up really early, stuff an start the turkey, and then prepare the other veggies. I do this and keep my eye on the Macy's Day Parade.





    Unfortunately this is the third Thanksgiving I am out of the country, so I won't be watching the Macy's Day Parade again this year.
    usually we start the turkey on the day or the day before and then we eat at about 1 or 2 o' clock. We make the pies a day before and cut up the cranberry sauce and the pickles all of the sides. We usually make the sweet potato pie that day and the stuffing.





    One thing that we make that is my favorite is the Pum-dil-cue (we made that up, dum, huh)


    Ok what youll need is a loaf of pumpernickel bread


    1 or 2 cucumber wholes


    and dill dip


    optional dil seasoning.





    what you do is cut about 1 inch slices of the pumpernickel then you spread the dill dip on to that. Once it is spead add a slice of cucmber. then you are done. You can add the dill seasoning after on the cucumber if wanted.very easy and tasts good.
    Almost all of the dinner can be prepared ahead, except the turkey and even it can be (the grocery store's ';prepared dinners'; are). I wouldn't suggest you do some of the more delicate vegetable's like peas ahead, most everything else can be made at least a day ahead and reheated at 350 degrees about an hour before hand.

    Recipes needed for meals that can be cooked in bulk and then frozen?

    Gosh, I do this all the time! OK


    Mince_ Spagetti bolegnese, chilli con carne, shepards/cottage pie, Mince beef/lamb pie ( packet pastry, cheaper) Burgers- just add 1 egg, onion, and handful breadcrumbs, shape into burgers %26amp; freeze. Meatballs (same as burgers.)


    Chicken_ Chassuer ( just get packet mix) Chicken curry ( get packet mix) Chicken wraps, roast a whole chicken, freeze left overs, gravy, another dinner.


    Buy a whole chicken %26amp; joint it, you then have, breasts, wings, thigh, drumstick. Boil bones for gravy stock %26amp; freeze.


    Joint of pork_ Roast then save left overs for cold meat %26amp; mash/salad, dice for curry, or mince for pie. SAVE Gravy! Old bread- bread %26amp; butter pudding, or grate, and freeze for bread crumbs, can coat chicken pieces in it. Left over mash potato- roll into burger shape, coat in flour and fry.Make a quiche, and cut into sections to freeze. I buy loads of fresh veg, and freeze, lasts longer.Recipes needed for meals that can be cooked in bulk and then frozen?
    meatballs, any kind of dough (for fresh bread, cookies, etc.), lasagna, fajita meat, chili.





    usually any meat-based meals freeze well.Recipes needed for meals that can be cooked in bulk and then frozen?
    Sauces like boulognaise and curries, cottage pie. Some of the jars of curry sauces (for 4) can be split in half and frozen.Always do the rice when you need it - don`t freeze it.
    Budgeting?? Make 2 weeks worth of menus for 3 meals a day. Write down the ingredients for those meals. Make your shopping list accordingly.





    When you get home, chop the onions, celery, carrots and what ever other veggies you need and put them into separate zip lock baggies with the recipe name and date on them. Brown and divide the ground beef according to recipe and put it in zip lock baggies according to date and recipe. Put each other amount for each recipe in its own little container and label.





    Freeze the freezables, put everything else in veggie or meat drawer according to last date on bottom closest date on top.





    On the morning, take out things needed for dinner and put into fridge in large bowl to defrost. Make sandwiches or salads for lunches, then make breakfast.





    I know these aren't recipes, but I lived on this plan and spent about $100 per week on groceries for teenagers for about 6 years. They are still trained to ask before removing a labeled item from the fridge, freezer or pantry! I made war on anyone who caused me to deviate from my chosen menus.





    Also, almost any casserole can be made in smaller bowls and frozen to be cooked or reheated later.
    Well the commercial ones out there are not very nice. Best are things like shepherds pies etc. But do theveg fresh at the time
    Cincinnati Chili


    1 quart hot water

    1/4 tsp cayenne pepper


    1/4 tsp garlic powder





    Pour water into large saucepan. Crumble in beef. Add next 13 ingredients. Simmer 3 hours, stirring occasionally. Remove bay leaves





    Peanut Chicken





    1 cup coarsely chopped onion


    1 clove garlic, minced


    1 tb vegetable oil


    2 1/2 to 3 lb skinless chicken breast, cubed


    1 can (8 oz) whole tomatoes cut up


    1/3 cup water


    1/4 cup chili sauce


    1 tsp chili powder


    1/2 tsp salt


    1/4 tsp ground ginger


    1/4 tsp dried crushed red pepper


    1/2 cup chunky peanut butter





    In a large pot, combine onion, garlic and oil. Cook until onions are tender. Add chicken and cook until outsides appear cooked. Add tomatoes, water, chili sauce, chili powder, salt, ginger, and red pepper, mixing well. Cook until boiling. Turn down heat. Stir peanut butter into mixture and return to boil. Turn down heat again and simmer for an hour.





    I also have a recipe for an artichoke lasagna if you are at all interested.
    refried beans or just regular beans are really good! just make them and freeze them. rice is good to, freeze tortillas, milk, bread so it keeps fresh for a while! make pancakes and waffles or even french toast and freeze them for breakfast! or make stir fry and freeze it! or make hamburgersand freeze them so all you have to do is warm them up! hope this helps!
    My favourate recipe to freeze, one i just finished preparing and froze today is a sort of meatball stew. It is pretty simple and very flexible to modifications.





    Bring a packet of finely ground beef and add with it bread crumbs ( i used oatmeal today), one egg, ground or minced onion, salt, pepper. mix with your hands or in a machine and then form into small balls. In a large pan fry the meatballs and set aside.





    In the same pan, add chopped carrots, potatoes, onions, peppers (or whatever veggy you like) and stir fry well, with salt, pepper (i sometimes add a little curry for flavour). Add tomato sauce, then your meat balls and wait for your veggies to cook.





    Once cool, put in a glass (better than plastic cause it may stain), cover and freeze. Eat it with rice or even pasta.





    enjoy! one month later no problem!
    CORNED BEEF HASH





    Potatoes,onions,a can of corned beef,stock (preferably beef),salt and pepper,and if you want, add carrots. We also put some brown sauce into it and sometimes a few chilli flakes.





    Just cube everything, (if carrots are used, slice or use a can). Add the seasoning and stock, and cook until everything is tender.





    Curries ( if you like them ). Spaghetti bolognaise, stews, shepherds pie,there`s loads more. You can make anything you want , just experiment with meat and veg that you both like. If you want to get in touch for recipes, you can.
    spaghettie sauce freezes very well, all you need to do then is boil the pasta. Another way to budget meals is make the use of a crockpot. then you can buy cheap tougher cuts of meat, slow cook them all day and have a great stew or what ever. Tougher cuts of meat also have more flavor.


    I generaly don't have good luck with freezing pasta but sauces do well. Buy a turkey and after roasting the the thing whole, you will have boatloads of meat for meals. all you need to do then is take it off the bone, cube it and freeze in portions for your recipes.

    I'm in the mood to cook and looking for a good & affordable recipe, any ideas?

    Something good and easy to make. Please no seafood or salads because my mom doesn't like seafood and I had salad for lunch. Also, affordable and doesn't take longer than 45 minutes-1 hour to cook.I'm in the mood to cook and looking for a good %26amp; affordable recipe, any ideas?

Sprinkle with feta cheese and serve! 15 Minutes maxI'm in the mood to cook and looking for a good %26amp; affordable recipe, any ideas?

    This one is different and fun.

    Baked Manicotti


    INGREDIENTS


    10 uncooked manicotti shells

    I don't have an exact reciepe, but my favorite thing to cook when I'm in that mood is chicken tacos. The nice thing about them is you can make them to your preference. This is what I usually do for mine.





    1 chicken breast = about 2-3 tacos


    Or, I use the already grilled pre-packaged chicken in the deli meat isle.





    Then I either grill or pan fry the chicken. You can season the chicken depending on your taste. On the grill I also add bell peppers if I have them.





    While the chicken is cooking I slice tomato and iceberg lettuce. I also shred some jack and chedder cheese.





    When the chicken is done I slice it into thin strips and then keep it warm by wrapping it in foil.





    Warm your number choice of tortillas in the microwave for no longer than 20 seconds/each.





    Place salsa, sour cream, and guacamole on the table along with the veggies and prepare tacos as you are ready to eat them!





    Variations : 1. Make chicken club tacos by using chicken, bacon, lettuce, and ranch dressing.


    2. Make BBQ chicken tacos by marinating the chicken in BBQ sauce and using lettuce, cheese and BBQ sauce in the taco.


    3. Teryaki Chicken - Marinate chicken in teryaki sauce, add grilled pinnaple to the tacos for a hawaiien fusion! Serve with white rice and soy sauce.

    Once assembled, bake covered with foil @ 350 for 45 mins., uncover and continue another 15 mins. Allow to cool slightly for cheese to firm up a little, then serve with add'l sauce and grated cheese.Does anyone how long to bake lasagna for?? it is an old recipe and i lost my cook book. Google issues still.?
    Usually about 45 minutes to 1 hour. Basically it's only the egg in the ricotta that is raw after assembly. The baking is mostly to brown the top layer of cheese and to heat it. My recipe calls for 45 minutes to one hour at 350f. Normally, I tend to keep it in for around 1 hour because I like a darker browning.
    All of your ingredients are already cooked for the lasagna so you really just need to heat it through until the cheese on top is nice and melty. I usually go about 60 minutes at 350. IMPORTANT: Let it sit out for at LEAST 10-20 minutes before trying to cut into it.
    45 minutes to 1 hour until the cheese is melted and the top is bubbly and beginning to brown.
    I would say bake it 45 minutes to 1 hour.

    I want to start baking desserts but I have never cooked. Does anyone have any ideas, suggestions or recipes?

    My first baking experience is with baking cookies. Go to the grocery store and pick up a package of Nestle Toll House Chocolate Chips. Follow the recipe on the back of the package. They really do taste good. If you don't like that one try these recipes instead. Always remember to measure your ingredients when baking.

    I am cooking an elk pot roast. All recipes call for red wine, can I use something else?

    I would also like to know, should I soak the roast in something, like I do deer, before cooking. Does anyone have any good recipes for this. The piece of elk I have is the hind quarter.I am cooking an elk pot roast. All recipes call for red wine, can I use something else?
    For a pot roast beer is also good. Beer goes well with meat in braises so it should do well here. You can marinade the roast for flavor but it won't make any difference in the final texture of the meat.I am cooking an elk pot roast. All recipes call for red wine, can I use something else?
    Elk Roast





    3 pounds elk roast


    2 cups onion, cut in 2'; pieces


    2 cups potatoes, cut in 2'; pieces


    1 cup carrots, cut in 2'; pieces


    1 cup fresh mushrooms, sliced


    2 Tablespoos liquid smoke


    3 Tablespoons (or more) Worcestershire sauce


    3 Tablespoons (or more) soy sauce


    1/ cup beef broth





    Put in LARGE oven cooking bag in an oblong baking pan (so the bag


    fits inside the pan). To the bag, add the elk roast. Add all liquids,


    then vegetables around the meat. Put the mushrooms on top of


    everything else, then spices on top of them. You want to have 1'; of


    liquid on the bottom of the bag, so if you need more, add a little


    water or white wine. Seal the bag. Poke several small holes in top of


    bag to let steam escape. Bake at 300-325 degrees for 3 1/2 hours.
























    Elk is like venison, rather dry and wild in flavor. I would soak it just as you do venison. Cider vinegar??





    there are lots of things you can use instead of wine. any broths at all, water, cider, beer, anything to add flavor and moisture to your pot!





    I slivered most of the elk and made it into jerky. So don't have any recipes from the time I had a freezer full of elk. My brother in law gave me half!
    Grape juice, vegetable stock, cranberry juice, tomato juice, non-alcohol red wine such as Cabernet.
    You can replace the wine with beef or veal stock if you're trying to avoid alcohol.
