hey everyone, I thought this would be a good place to put this. I'm looking to cook some new things, so I thought maybe we could all post and share are favorite recipes =)

(and just a random idea that I thought was nifty that popped in my head has anyone thought about putting a recipe book together and selling it online to raise money for one of the wonderful hiv causes out there? or maybe you guys could use to raise money for people who can't afford to make the meet and greets...just an idea..)

   Frosted Flakes with chocolate milk, it's good trust me.

Well I have to say I'm disappointed in you Skeets. I was expecting you to post a recipe for 'possum or squirrel melts or the like.

I guess I better post one.

Kangaroo Tail Soup

1 kangaroo tail, skinned, trimmed of sinew and cut into joints
60g pearled barley, well washed
3 large brown onions
2 bay leaves
3-4 carrots
2 blades mace
2 swedes (though turnips will do)
1 whole nutmeg
3-4 stalks celery
Salt to taste
2 tablespoons fat (dripping not lard)
Cayene pepper to taste
3 litres stock or water (not fish stock!)
150ml dry red wine
Chopped parsley

Peel and cut the vegetables into rough pieces. Melt dripping in a large saucepan. Add vegetables and allow to cook slowly without browning for 10 minutes. Add the tail joints, stock, barley, bay leaves, mace and nutmeg. Bring to boil and simmer slowly for 2-3 hours.

Cool and remove any scum or fat from the surface, then strain. Returned to washed saucepan, season to taste with salt and cayene and bring to just boiling, then add wine, but do not boil again. Serve with chopped parsley.


Ox tail can be substituted in macropod deprived regions.

Fuck man, I guess with this kind of pressure it's time to give up my families' century old recipe for 'possum on the grill.  BTW when I say century it means 5 years,  here it goes:

1 'possum or raccoon (your choice)
1 bell pepper
1 red onion
1 can of tomato sauce
2 sprigs of thyme
1 2x4 (12 inches long which still means 1 foot)

Take the varmint and place it on the 2x4, then cover with all the rest of the ingredients.  Don't forget to salt and pepper thouroughly!  Wrap it all in aluminum foil and cook on the grill for roughly 4 hours.  Take everything off the heat and allow it to rest for 5 minutes (learnt dis from Bobby Flay).  After 5 minutes are done, unwrap everything.  At this time you want to carefully discard the rodent to the garbage can and eat the 2x4.

For desert have a bowl of Frosted Flakes with chocolate milk.

Something simple, cheap and fast: ;)

Hummus
------------

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Total Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

1 16 oz can of chickpeas or garbanzo beans
1 can liquid from can of chickpeas *
1 tbl spoon of honey** (if you prefer a sweeter hummus)
3-5 tablespoons lemon juice (depending on taste)
1 1/2 tablespoons tahini
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil

Preparation:

Add chickpeas (with its liquid) and combine remaining ingredients in blender or food processor. Blend for 3-5 minutes on low until thoroughly mixed and smooth.

Place in serving bowl, and create a shallow well in the center of the hummus.

Add a small amount (1-2 tablespoons) of olive oil in the well. Sprinkle with Paprika and garnish with parsley (optional).

Serve immediately with fresh, warm or toasted pita bread, or cover and refrigerate.
Variations

For a spicier hummus, add a sliced red chile or a dash of cayenne pepper.

Storing Hummus

Hummus can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and can be kept in the freezer for up to one month. Add a little olive oil if it appears to be too dry.

* You can substitute with plain yoghurt (nice taste too) if you want a thicker paste but I experimented and it's too thick.
** I use an Oligosaccharide sugar syrup to sweeten the hummus. Raw honey will do just fine.
I'll leave Hatred to those not strong enough to Love.

Yep, its summer so don't you want to eat Mediterranean!   

Anything Greek and cold tasted good.  Or gazpacho.  Or, as above, hummus and tabbouleh.

Here's a beach snack from India I live for:  Bhel Puri

Its cool and light and wonderful and even better if you have a mango lassi with it.

http://indianfood.about.com/od/vegetariansnacks/r/bhelpuri.htm

A snack with almost iconic status in Western India, bhelpuri is low-fat, nutritious and delicious! What more can one ask for? This recipe serves two. Assemble bhelpuri just before you're going to eat it to prevent the puffed rice from getting soggy.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:

    * 3 cups puffed rice (available at Indian stores)
    * A handful of roasted and salted peanuts
    * 2 potatoes boiled, peeled and chopped into tiny cubes
    * 1 large onion chopped fine
    * 1 large tomato chopped fine
    * Half a bunch of coriander chopped fine (approximately 50 gms/ 0.10 lbs)
    * 2 green chillies chopped fine
    * Tamarind chutney to taste
    * Mint-coriander chutney to taste
    * A handful of coarsely crushed papdi (savoury biscuits made from flour)
    * 1 cup sev (vermicelli-like snack made from gram flour and available at Indian stores)

Preparation:

    * Mix the puffed rice, peanuts, potato, onion, tomato, coriander and green chillies together in a large bowl.
    * Add the tamarind chutney and mint-coriander chutney according to your own taste preferences (that's the beauty of bhelpuri!), mix well, garnish with plenty of sev and papdi. Serve and eat immediately.

Your wish is my command Matty. Here's 3 if you crave cheese like me. Since some handle spirits better than others, I substituted beer for those less inclined and without for those more sobering in taste. Enjoy ! ;)

Mexican Cheese Fondue Recipe   :P
------------------------------------------
20 ounces Monterey Jack cheese
Scant 3 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
1 1/4 cups beer
1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
6-8 fresh chilies, seeded and minced
1/2 bell pepper, seeded and minced
1 medium tomato, seeded and chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
Shred the cheese and toss together with the flour, cumin and paprika. Set aside.

Heat the beer over high heat in a medium, heavy saucepan. When very hot, add the lemon juice, chilies, bell pepper, and tomato. Gradually add the cheese mixture, stirring, until it is melted and smooth. Add the salt and transfer to a warm ceramic fondue pot.

Serve with skewered pre-cooked meatballs and tortilla chips or rolled tortillas, which can be dipped by hand. Serves 6.

=======

Herb and Cream Cheese Fondue Recipe  ;D
-----------------------------------------------------
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped, or 1/2 tablespoon dried
1 tablespoon fresh oregano, chopped, or 1/2 tablespoon dried
1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped, or 1/2 tablespoon dried
3 8-ounce packages cream cheese, softened
1 to 1 1/2 cups light cream

In a large, heavy, non-stick skillet, sauté the garlic in the olive oil, just until tender. Add the cream cheese, and continue cooking on low heat, stirring, until the cheese is smooth and melted. Gradually stir in the cream, a little at a time, until the mixture reaches the right consistency for dipping. (It thickens as it cools.) Add the parsley, oregano and basil, and continue cooking for two or three minutes to let the herb flavors blend. Transfer to a warm ceramic fondue pot.

Serve with cooked, shelled shrimp (prawns) and/or scallops, tortellini and crusty French bread, cubed.

Note: A cream cheese fondue recipe can be made a day ahead and refrigerated, but you will need to add more cream before serving; it invariably thickens when chilled. Shrimp and scallops cook quickly and dry easily when overcooked, however, so it's best to prepare them shortly before serving this fondue recipe. Serves 6.

=========

Classic Cheese Fondue  8)
------------------------------
Traditionally, fondue is made with a blend of Swiss Emmentaler and Gruyere cheeses. Emmentaler is very mild and Gruyere, especially well-aged Gruyere, is very pungent. A half and half mixture is pleasing to most, but feel free to adjust the proportions to your liking.

2 tablespoons cornstarch or potato flour
1/4 cup kirsch (cherry brandy)
1 clove garlic
1 1/2 cups dry, white wine
12 ounces shredded Emmentaler cheese
12 ounces shredded Gruyere cheese
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
Combine the cornstarch and kirsch. Set aside.

Slice the garlic in half lengthwise and rub the cut side over the inside of a medium, heavy saucepan. Discard the garlic. Pour the wine into the saucepan and bring it to a boil over a medium-high heat. Immediately reduce the heat to low. Add the cheese to the wine by handfuls and stir slowly until the cheese is just melted. (Stirring in a figure-8 or zigzag motion prevents the cheese from clumping.)

Stir in the cornstarch mixture, pepper, and nutmeg. Simmer for two or three minutes until it begins to thicken, but do not let it boil. Transfer to a warmed ceramic fondue pot and serve immediately. Keep warm over a very low flame.

This original/traditional cheese fondue recipe is still best served with the original dipper; serve with 2 to 3 loaves of crusty French bread, cut into 1" cubes. Serves 6.

Variations:

After seasoning the saucepan with garlic, sauté either 2 cloves of garlic or 2 shallots, finely chopped, in 1 tablespoon of butter and proceed with the recipe.

Tip: Purchase a trial-size bottle of kirsch if you feel the remains of a full bottle will just sit on the shelf.

  During the Summer months I like to make food that won't weigh you down.   I may have shared this recipe before and will do so once again until someone comes back and says they tried it.  My wife and I do lunch at Panara Bread sometimes and I compied their recipe after having this dish there.

  BBQ Salad

  Romaine lettuce
  1 can corn (drained & rinsed)
  1 can black beans (drained & rinsed)
  2 chicken breasts
  Tortilla strips
   Ranch dressing
   BBQ sauce

   I use Fresh Gourmet brand tortilla strips.  I started with using the multi colored ones because that's how the restaurant did it, but found the Santa Fe variety to be much better on this creation.  I use Kraft's Honey Smoke BBQ sauce, it has a really good taste for this salad.

  I marinade the diced chicken breast in Italian Salad dressing before hand with some added garlic salt and black pepper.

  You want to mix the Ranch dressing with the bbq sauce, I use about a 4:1 ratio.

   Toss the chicken breast in a dry hot frying pan (marinade on chicken will provide enough oil).  You want to scorch it, basically cooking the wetness of the marinade off.  After your done with the chicken toss the corn in the pan for a few minutes until roasted nicely, take out and put to the side to cool.  Now do the same with the blackbeans.

  Now it's assembly time...  Place a layer of romaine in a dish,  Top with chicken, black beans, corn, and tortilla strips.  Drizzle very lightly with a little of the plain bbq sauce over this layer.  Now top that with  same as before, but this time don't drizzle the bbq sauce over it.  Top with the ranch dressing/bbq sauce mixture and enjoy.

  I know this doesn't sound all that appealling, but trust me it is unbelievably good!  When I go to restaurants I never order the same thing twice and that's the only reason I chanced upon this recipe, there was nothing left on the menu I hadn't tried.  When I used to make it I would have to make my family an entirely different meal because they just couldn't see past the name I guess, not no more though.  They all get excited now when I make this dish.  It's simple, fast, and cheap, along with packing heaps of flavor!  Don't knock it till ya try it, it is so good.

  I have an exceptionally good recipe for bouillabaisse handed down from my mother's side of the family, but I am scared to share stuff like that... might get struck by lightening.  It's nothing short of an orgasm of the mouth, no lie!

~giggle~  ;D

I guess you don't need to break out the toothpicks after that meal!

Haha, good catch... no toothpicks required! ;D

Some real swiss will eat raclette or fondue in the summer but for me stinking molten cheese is more a winter delight!

There are some summer cheese things -- a grilled round of cheese with arugula salad but that cheese doesn't make it out of Switzerland, I think. (Tomme Vaudoise)

That was back in Feb in your Panara Bread BBQ Salad thread. damn dude! :o I'm so sorry I never got back to you on that one. It was excellent! ;D We've done it 2 or 3 times since. Matter of fact it's time for it again, now that you mention it.

Hey Ravhyn, there were a couple other recipes in that old thread too.
I offered a black bean corn salsa, and Skeebo had a good dill sauce

black bean corn salsa
1 can, 14 ounces, black beans, rinsed and drained
1 lg can corn kernels
1 small red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1/2 red onion, chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 lime, juiced
2 tablespoons vegetable or olive oil
Salt and pepper

toss, refrigerate for several hrs to marinade.
serve chilled with blue Tortilla chips to use as scoops

If you like salmon you should try this some time.  It is one of the first meals I use to like to charm the ladies with when I would cook for them.

  1-8 oz sour cream
 1/2 bunch of dill
   Juice from one lemon
  1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes
  2 tablespoons horseradish

   Mix all ingredients together.  Char your lightly salted/peppered salmon on both sides in some olive oil being sure not to over cook.  Plate it and spoon a little of the sauce over the top and serve with a bed of wild greens.  Really good stuff!

somewhere in the annals of time are some more recipe threads cause I remember us talking about cornbread and the muffins I used to bake (based on the friendship bread recipe). However searching for the word "recipe" here got a lot of hits for "recipe for disaster" :o which I don't think any of us really wants to be baking up. :D ;D

Some real swiss will eat raclette or fondue in the summer but for me stinking molten cheese is more a winter delight!

There are some summer cheese things -- a grilled round of cheese with arugula salad but that cheese doesn't make it out of Switzerland, I think. (Tomme Vaudoise)



It is winter.

Skeebo, I think I will pass on the possum I may live in the south..but even that's too much for me lol. 

I just read today that you live near or on the Tennessee/Kentucky border.  I was born in Union City and have a ton of family in Dresden.  I grew up in Miami though because my mother found better opportunities for herself being a single parent (father committed suicide before I was born).

Anyhow, here is my baked ham with maple mustard sauce recipe:

1 8-10 pound fully cooked bone-in ham
Whole cloves

1 cup whole-grain Dijon mustard
1/3 cup golden brown sugar
2 table spoons maple syrup

Score top of ham into diamonds and stud center of each diamond with a clove (just push it into scored diamond points).  Place in pan and cook at 350 degrees F for 1 1/2 hours.  The diamonds will open up during cooking and the cloves should remain in place.

In a bowl combine the mustard, brown sugar, and maple syrup.  Remove ham from oven and pour entire mixture over it.  Place back in oven and cook for about 30 additional minutes or until golden brown.  It will form a great crust.

Damn stuff is good as hell..

You can make a side sauce to compliment by mixing a 1/2 cup of Dijon and 1/4 cup of maple syrup.

It's good for the holidays, make this and your family will want it every year.

You lazy motherfuckers. What's with all the salads?

I was going to post a pavlova recipe but that only starts fights with New Zealanders who seem to think they invented it. They did not. They are filthy liars.

Instead the classic Australian cake - Lamingtons!

All weights, measures and temperatures are in proper metric/celsius not the superannuated imperial system. If you need to know how many hogheads are in a tonne - ask google.

Lamingtons

Lamingtons are cubey-squarish pieces of sponge cake covered all over in chocolate icing and then rolled in dessicated coconut. They form the principle product of the great Australian charitable effort known as the lamington drive.

I can vouch that the following is the traditional recipe.


The sponge cake:

3 tablespoons self-raising flour
1/4 cup plain flour
2 tablespoons cornflour (wheaten cornflour NOT corn cornflour)
3 eggs
Pinch of salt
1/2 cup caster sugar
3 teaspoons boiling water

The chocolate icing:

2 cups icing sugar
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1/2 cup boiling water
1 3/4 cups desiccated coconut

Preheat the oven to 160°C. Lightly grease a deep 28 x 18 cm lamington pan with melted butter and line the base and sides of the pan with nonstick baking paper, allowing a 5 cm overhang (this makes it easier to remove the sponge from the pan).

Sift the two flours and cornflour together. Repeat the sifting process five times (this will aerate the flour thoroughly).

Using an electric mixer, whisk the eggs and salt in a large mixing bowl for 6 minutes, or until pale and thick. Gradually add the sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, whisking until the mixture is thick and the sugar is dissolved.

Sift the combined flour mixture over the egg mixture. Add the boiling water and gently fold in until the batter is just combined. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and bake in the preheated oven for 15–18 minutes, or until cooked through when tested with a skewer. Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan. Cover with foil and stand overnight.

Lift the cake from the pan. Trim the edges and cut the sponge into 5 cm squares.

To make the chocolate icing, sift the icing sugar and cocoa powder into a medium heatproof bowl. Stir in the boiling water and mix well to combine.

Place the coconut in a medium bowl. Using two forks, dip the sponge squares, one at a time, into the warm icing and then roll in the coconut. (If the icing begins to thicken, place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water and stir until it is warm and thin again.)

Place the lamingtons on a wire rack lined with nonstick baking paper for 1 hour to set.


Some people like to fill lammos with jam and cream. This is an appalling heresy. Delicious but utterly non traditional and would get you drummed out of the Country Womens' Association.

Does it have ground beef in it?  I had that once back in college -- my roommate's mother brought it and it was actually kind of tasty, as I love tater tots and sometimes buy them.

Generally Miss P shuns casseroles... they're just so horribly plebeian.  The exception being my festive holiday roasted root vegetable medley, but you know nobody does that.  Oh, and I also do a gruyere garlic potato gratin at Christmas.  Always a winner.

Yes it has ground beef and sour cream , onion and cheese . I used to make it for my nephew who was fussy eater . I think of it as comfort food when I'm sick of everything else .

Zomg, I am loving the recipes.  I hate getting them out of cookbooks, half the time they never come out right. But getting them from people who have cooked them time in and time out proves to be more useful. 

My husband is gonna be in heaven and get fat LOL. (by army standards he's underweight) 

and I tried the deep fried turkey once...my ex husband just had to have it.  I wasn't a fan, in fact I intentionally started a thanksgiving day food fight too get out of eating it LOL.

Scones. No recipe thinger is complete without a scone recipe. Scone making is generally a dark art but the following recipe produces perfect scones everytime.

Note: the lemonade referred to is the clear bubbly sort. Y'know, proper lemonade not that nasty cloudy yellowish shit. I don't know if proper lemonade is available in the US. 7-UP is a good approximation.

Don't use low-joule/diet lemonade.

A word on pronunciation: Scone rhymes with "john".

Lemonade Scones

3 cups of self-raising flour
1 cup of lemonade
1 cup of cream

Mix ingredients together with a knife.

Turn dough out onto a floured board and cut scones using a scone cutter, place scones onto floured tray.

Cook in oven at 210 degrees celsius for 10 minutes or until tops of scones are slightly browned.


This recipe produces seriously good scones which are not at all sweet. Serve warm with jam and cream.

One can find a suitable Sicilian lemon frizzante at Wegman's.  I'm also a HUGE fan of their blood orange, and indeed I have a bottle of each in the fridge at the moment.  I have to stock up when I go home to my parents as there is no Wegman's in downtown Filthydelfia.

With all this great food, we must have something to wash it down...

Sangria was brought to the Americas by the Spaniards.  It was given to travelers along the El Camino Real in California at 21 missions from San Diego to Monterrey.   The missions were built 1 or 2 traveling days apart and rooms were kept ready at the missions, where the best food and wine were served, much like Motel 6.

Cousin Irma's Sangria

1 Gallon Red Wine Burgandy
2 oz. Orange Liquor
2 oz. Rum
1 Large bottle Soda or Mineral Water
4 Lemons

Pour the wine into a glass pitcher
Slice the 4 Lemons, add to the wine
Place in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight   
Add the Rum, the Mineral Water or Soda

Add bite size chunks of Peaches, Pineapple, Oranges, Papayas (whatever you like)
Optional:  You can substitute Champagne for the Soda or Mineral Water   ;D  Have the best day

Now we could have some desert:

Tequila Mayonnaise Cake

1 bottle Jose Cuervo 1800
1-3/4 Cup all-purpose Flour
1 cup Sugar
1/3 Cup Cocoa
1-1/2 Tsp Baking Powder
1-1/2 Tsp Baking Soda
1/8 Tsp Salt
1 Cup Mayonnaise
1 Cup Water
2 Tsp Vanilla Extract

Instructions:

1. Test the quality of the Tequila (pour yourself a shot)
Heat oven to 350 F, retest the quality of the Tequila (pour yourself another shot)
Grease and flour 13"x9"x2" baking pan. What about that Tequila (pour yourself another shot)

2.  Stir together Flour, Sugar, Cocoa, Baking Powder, Baking Soda and salt in a large bowl.  Retest the Tequila (pour yourself another shot)
Add Mayonnaise, Water, and Vanilla;  How is that Tequila? (pour yourself another shot)
Beat on medium speed with an electric mixer 3 minutes (pour yourself another shot)  Damn that Tequila hits the spot

3.  Bake 45- 50 minutes or until a wooden pick comes out clean.  Restes the Tequila (pour yourself another shot)  Cool cake for 10 minutes and remove from pan.   ;D  Have the best day
