Calling All Cooks!

[cobrajoe]

I already gave my amazing sloppy joe recipe, and the only other thing I know that isn't in many (if any) cookbooks is a drink.

Laguna Sunrise

Orange Juice
Grenadine
Vodka

put the Orange juice in a glass (whatever kind tickles your fancy) add one or two shots of vodka (as strong as you want to make it) and add a splash of grenadine.

It's basically the same as a tequila sunrise, or a screwdriver with grenadine. We were just mixing with what we had around, and we ended up with this, and named it after the black sabbath song.

Watch out for that vodka though, It'll get you into trouble (like my bro did).

Frito Pie:

Can of Chili (I prefer it with chili with no beans)
Chopped green onion to taste
Half can of corn or one small can
Tobasco to taste
Mix together and heat

Fill botton of bowl with Frito's cover in grated cheese and pour chili over it.

A quick and tasty meal.

Here is something quick for breakfast:

Don't know what it is called but it is quick and good.

2 slices of bread (I prefer whole grain)
2 eggs
Butter

Cut a hole out of the center of each slice of bread large enough to contain one egg. Spread butter on both sides of each slice of bread. Put the bread thus prepared into a frying pan on low heat and break one egg into the hole in each slice of bread. Fry at least until half the egg white has cooked then flip and cook to taste. I like my eggs over medium so I remove them when the egg white becomes firm but the yoke still moves.

[SeanH]

Fellow Forumites,

I will be adding the latest round of recipes to the Cookbook and posting the new version soon.

Are there any more you want to add for this version?

I believe it's called "Eggs in a Basket". Cracker Barrel has them on their menu.

[Capt. Carl]

Sean, great work man!

Here's a picture of my guacamole:

OOPS!! I just realized I forgot the tomatoes! WOW! :o

Guacamole 2.0 (half of it is gone though)!!!! :D

[SeanH]

Here's a picture of my guacamole:

Nice guac dude!

I just had some with pita chips.

And we made the Sangria that EarthDog posted.

Fabulous!

[SeanH]

OK.
The sangria is drunk. Or has been drunk, and I have a bowl of chopped apple and sliced orange that has been marinating in 2005 Beaujolais Nouveaux. What do I use it for? Should I mix it with yogert or ice cream? Maybe somthing chocholate?

[Slick]

Wow! From this this recipe I Know you are a woman. The recipe is somthing I would do but the multiple day extra steps for additional delicious uses just shouts feminine EXPERTISE!!! I will give your innovations a try.

I hope you are well (and cooking).

[cobrajoe]

I've been looking over the cookbook, and there looks to be some delicious recipes in there. Yummy, I wish I still had a stove to use (crazy dorms and their no cooking policies).

Hrm, maybe I could go cook for some friends.

[snuffaluff]

Thought I'd add another dish...

yield: full 9x13" pan


2 sticks celery
2 carrots
about 5-6 mushrooms
1 can rotel original
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can cream of chicken soup
3 chicken breasts
1 onion
2 cloves garlic
1 bell pepper(I used green)
Spaghetti noodles (I used thin)
1 Tbls cumin
2 Tbls chili powder
1 Bay leaf
1 Tbls butter
Olive oil
Pepper Jack Cheese – shredded(enough to cover dish)
Salt and Pepper TT

Pre-heat oven to 350°
You’ll need a 9x13” pan and a LARGE skillet
Cut celery into ½ inch pieces. Add celery and bay leaf into water and boil chicken until chicken in done.
Cut carrots, bell pepper, mushrooms and onion into a small to medium dice. Chop garlic.
Add butter and a bit of Olive oil to warm pan(Low/Med heat) When butter is half melted, add carrots bell pepper and onion. Add cumin and chili powder. Saute for about 5min and add garlic. Saute another 10min or until carrots are soft on the outside and crunchy inside.

When chicken is done, shred and chop up.
Add chicken, mushrooms, rotel and cream of chicken and mushroom. Stir in and let simmer. Add noodles and then put everything into the 9x13” pan. Add shredded cheese on top, stick in oven until bubbly.

Start chicken 1st.
Start the sauté of veggies next.
When the chicken is done, start the noodles. You can keep all the stuff in the skillet warm until noodles are done.
If you like it spicier, add a jalopeno.

[SunTzu]

[snuffaluff]

Hey sean, I dont mean to trouble you about the cookbook, but you have the same recipe from me listed twice. Once on pg 23 and again on pg 26. Just thought I would let you know.

Oops!
Fixed and updoaded. Thanks.

Okay here is one for Argentinian style Churrasco with chimichurri sauce.

The traditional steak is Skirt steak but you can substitute with Sirloin flap or even Flank steak. The amount of steaks is up to you. They should be cut into strips about 10" long x 4" wide and about 1 1/2" thick. Season the meat with salt and pepper and marinate with lemon juice and a bit of garlic for a few hours. Discard the marinade.
For the chimichurri:
1 cup of olive oil
1/3 cup of white vinegar
The juice of a whole lemon
1 tablespoon of minced garlic
1 cup of finely chopped cilantro
1/2 cup of finely chopped parsley
A pinch of oregano
if you like a little kick add a dash of Chili powder or jalapeno powder.
Put it all in a bowl and mix well
Throw the steaks on the grill and cook to taste but do not overcook. Here is a sure way to figure when they are done: Poke the end of your nose with your index finger when the steaks feel of about the same consistancy, they are done :D
Stir again and spoon some of the chimichurri over the steaks after removing from grill. How much is up to you. Serve with whatever side you like.
Hope you enjoy it.

[psimonl]

I am very glad to see that thread coming back to life...

And Shike, that really looks delicious....

I have experimented a lot of new Hindu and Asian cuisine lately and will be sharing some of the best ones with you...

Take care,

Well, since we're going on this old thread again...

I usually cook up chicken and beef strips with just salt and pepper and freeze in 1lb bags, makes it easy to make supper quickly.

Chicken Cacciatore
(2-3ppl)

1lbs of chicken, cooked 1/4" slices
1lbs of mushrooms, sliced in 1/2
1 large onion, roughly chopped
3-4 cloves of garlic, crushed and chopped
1 green bell pepper, 1/2" chunks
1 red bell pepper, 1/2" chunks
1 can stewed tomatoes or 3-4 plum tomatoes in 1/4 tomato chunks
1-2 jars of pasta sauce of choice
1lbs pasta of choice, broad or egg noodles work great, as does rotini
spices

Throw onions and mushrooms in a large pot, cook until onions are starting to caramelize, throw in peppers, 1 jar of sauce, tomatoes, 1/2 garlic. Cook on medium heat until peppers are tender (20-30min), toss in chicken and the rest of the garlic, add more sauce now if desired, leave heat on medium and let simmer for 10-15min.

Now, for the sauce... I have a decent selection of spices, typically changing over fairly well. I use bacon bits, steak spice, oregano, basil, and curry powder here in the first shot... letting it simmer for another 10-15min before doing the 2nd set of spices. You want it to blend well.
2nd shot of spices will be cumin, chinese 5 spice (or nutmeg and cinnamon if you don't have 5 spice), fresh cracked pepper, rosemary and a little sea salt.

This sauce will need to simmer away for another 15-20min. Feel free to use this time to make your pasta.

Throw it all in a big bowl and toss well to combine.
