[CnD] CHICKEN CURRY IN A HURRY

2011-03-22 Thread Cheryl Osborn
CHICKEN CURRY IN A HURRY

 

Ingredients

· 1 Tbsp corn, grapeseed, or olive oil

· 1 medium onion, sliced

· 1/3 cup golden raisins (optional)

· Salt and freshly ground pepper

· 1 1/2 teaspoons yellow curry powder, or to 
taste

· 4 skinless, boneless, chicken breast halves 
(1 to 1 1/2 pounds)*

· 1 cup sour cream

· Minced fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish

*Some chicken breasts are bigger than others. We had two huge breast halves 
that added up to 1 1/2 pounds. To make them more serving sized, we sliced each 
half in half, horizontally, to make 4 breast pieces.

Method

1 Put the oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. When hot, add the 
onions (and optional raisins), sprinkle with some salt and pepper, and cook, 
stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 5 minutes. Turn the heat down 
to medium, sprinkle with half of the curry powder, and continue to cook a 
minute or two.

2 Meanwhile, season the chicken with salt and pepper to taste and sprinkle it 
with the remaining curry powder. Move the onion to one side of the skillet and 
add the chicken in one layer. Cook for about 2 minutes on each side. Transfer 
to a plate.

3 Add the sour cream and stir constantly over medium-low heat until the mixture 
is nice and thick. Return the chicken to the skillet and cook for a couple more 
minutes, or until cooked through, turning once. 

Garnish with cilantro or parsley and serve with rice.

Re: [CnD] pastry blender

2011-03-29 Thread Cheryl Osborn
A pastry blender is used when making things such as pie dough to blend 
shortening or butter into flour.  Most kitchen supply stores would have 
them.  It has a handle to fit into the palm of your hand and has several 
thin, side by side  blades, maybe 10, that slice through the food.  I think 
that all kitchen stores would have them.

I cannot verify the following methoid for treating burns as I have never
tried it.   However, I will try it the next time that I get burned in the
kitchen.  Mike









Have not tried this but may be worth a try.


Subject: burn remedy

Folks, I haven't tried this but I will if I need to. A friend passed this
along to me.



You may have already seen this, but it seems to be valuable info, I am SO
impressed by thislooks awesome!!!

My experience with burns is this:

Once I was cooking some corn and stuck my fork in the boiling water to see
if the corn was ready. I missed and my hand went into the boiling 
water


A friend of mine, who was a Vietnam vet, came into the house, just as I 
was

screaming, and asked me if I had some plain old flour...

I pulled out a bag and he stuck my hand in it. He said to keep my hand in
the flour for 10 mins. which I did. He said that in Vietnam, this guy was 
on

fire and in their panic, they threw a bag of flour all over him to put the
fire out...well, it not only put the flour out, but he never even had a
blister

S, long story short, I put my hand in the bag of flour for 10 mins,
pulled it out and had not even a red mark or a blister and absolutley NO
PAIN. Now, I keep a bag of flour in the fridge and every time I burn 
myself,

I use the flour and never ONCE have I ever had a red spot, a burn or a
blister!
*COLD FLOUR feels even better than room temperature flour.

Miracle, if you ask me. Keep a bag of white flour in your fridge and you
will be happy you did. I even burnt my tongue and put the flour on it for
about 10 mins. and the pain was gone and no burn. Try it!

BTW, don't run your burn area under cold water first, just put it right 
into

the flour for 10 mins and experience a miracle!

Hi List,

I've been thinking about trying this recipe for some time and I finally
think I'm going to be brave enough to try it.  I have a couple questions
though about a few alterations:

1. How do you think smoked salmon would work in this recipe?
If I coated my George Forman grill with the olive oil, could I do the
toasting on that you think?

Also I'm thinking of substituting turkey breast at some later date in this
one.  All thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks loads

Recipe:  Toasted Chicken Sandwiches with Caramelized Apples and Smoked 
Gouda



Dear Friends,

  Caramelized onion, sautéed apples,
melting cheese, honey mustard and chicken ­ put
that on a plate and you've got supper, but put it
between two slices of bread and you
have a brilliant sandwich.
 The recipe comes from chef and suburban
homesteader Janice Cole, who is raising a trio of
hens in a chicken coop wired for sound. When the three divas get bored or
testy, a Mozart concerto soothes them. When
they're hungry, chopped Parmigiano-Reggiano rind,
al dente pasta, sushi rice, nori or Gorgonzola
crumbles top off their bird feed.
 We're assured that this quick work night
sandwich brought no harm to the "girls."

Toasted Chicken Sandwiches with Caramelized Apples and Smoked Gouda
Reprinted with permission from Chicken and Egg: A
Memoir of Suburban Homesteading with 125 Recipes
by Janice Cole (Chronicle Books LLC, 2011) Copyright © 2011 by Janice 
Cole.


Serves 4

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2 large onions, halved and thinly sliced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 unpeeled apples, such as Honeycrisp or Gala, sliced
2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 cup honey mustard
8 sliced country French bread, cut 1/2-inch thick from an oval loaf
1 cup shredded smoked Gouda cheese (4 ounces)
2 cooked chicken breasts, thinly sliced (about 2 cups)

1. Heat the oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter in
a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add
the onions and sprinkle with the salt and pepper.
Cook the onions, stirring occasionally, for 8 to
10 minutes or until they are wilted and golden brown. Transfer to a plate.

2. Melt 1 tablespoon of the remaining butter in
the same skillet over medium heat and add the
apples. Combine the sugar and allspice and
sprinkle over the apples, stirring to coat them.
Increase the heat to medium-high and cook the
apples for 5 to 8 minutes, or until brown but
still slightly crisp, increasing the heat to high if necessary.

3. Spread the mustard over one side of each slice
of bread and lightly spread the remaining 2
tablespoons of butter over the other sides.
Arrange the cheese over the mustard side of half
of the bread slices. Layer with the caramelized
onions, chicken, and apples. Top with the remaining bread, mustard-side
down.

4. Grill the sandwiches in a skillet or on a
griddle, lightly coated with butter or olive oil,
over medium heat for 6 to 8 minutes or until the
bread is toasted golden brown and the cheese is melted, turning as needed.

Serve immediately.

Note: The onions and apples can be cooked
(separately) up to 8 hours ahead of time and
refrigerated. Bring to room temperature before using.

TIPS

When we were testing this recipe we made one with
some thin wedges of Brie cheese in place of the smoked Gouda. So good.

For non-meat eaters, skip the chicken and use 4
halved hard-cooked eggs. Sear the halved eggs,
cut side down, in some butter until they are
flecked with brown, sprinkling them with salt and
pepper. Then make the sandwich as directed.

Wow!  That's a loaded question!  One can never have enough kitchen gadgets. 
You might want to consider the types of things that you want to prepare and 
what is necessary to accomplish the job.  For example:  Will you be 
preparing fresh vegetables?  Do you want to bake a cake?  Will you be 
preparing fried foods?


Can your adjust-a-scoop measure liquids?  If you like cheese, you might want 
to get a cheese grater.  A good peeling tool comes in handy for multiple 
things.  I feel that a good set of knives, including a serated knife, are 
essential.  And, a good whisk is also handy.

Dad's Favorite Flank Steak


2 tablespoons canola oil
6 tablespoons concentrated chicken broth (lower sodium if available)
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup lower-sodium soy sauce
4 green onions (the white and part of the green) cut into thin, diagonal 
slices

1 teaspoon ground ginger (or 2 teaspoons fresh minced ginger)
1 teaspoon garlic powder (or 2 teaspoons fresh minced garlic)
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 medium-large flank steak (about 1 1/2 pounds)

Combine canola oil, chicken broth, honey, soy sauce, green onions, ginger, 
garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce in a medium bowl with a whisk; set 
aside.
Remove any visible fat from the flank. Lightly score the meat with a 
serrated knife, cutting about 1/4-inch into the meat in a crisscross 
pattern (leave about an inch between cuts) on the top and bottom of the 
flank.
Put the flank in a rectangular plastic container, add the marinade, and 
coat the steak well all over. Cover and marinate the flank steak all day 
or overnight, turning occasionally.
Grill 10-15 minutes on each side or until cooked to desired doneness. Use 
a carving knife to cut diagonally across the grain of the meat into slices 
of your desired thickness.

pound flank steak.)

I must say, this sounds absolutely delicious.
A little tip:
Put the sauce in the bottom of the bowl and add pasta to it.  It mixes the 
sause and pasta easier when you toss it.
Always cook with wine that you would drink.  It doesn't have to be 
expensive, just taste good.
Trader Joe's has Charles Shaw wine for only $1.99 a bottle in CA and $2.99 
everywhere else.  It is great wine, red and white and pink- all of them.

NEVER use that disgusting cooking wine from the grocery store.
That's my 2 cents.

than regular brown rice. try it, and i think you will be pleasantly

[CnD] ITALIAN CALZONES

2011-05-25 Thread Cheryl Osborn
ITALIAN CALZONES

Ingredients
1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
1 cup warm water
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, divided
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup diced pepperoni
1/2 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1 tablespoon dried basil leaves
1 egg, beaten

Directions
1.To Make Dough: In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Add the oil, sugar 
and salt; mix in 1 cup of the flour until 

smooth. Gradually stir in the rest of the flour, until dough is smooth and 
workable. Knead dough on a lightly floured 

surface for about 5 minutes, or until it is elastic. Lay dough in a bowl 
containing 1 teaspoon olive oil, then flip the dough, 

cover and let rise for 40 minutes, or until almost doubled. 
2.To Make Filling: While dough is rising, combine the ricotta cheese, Cheddar 
cheese, pepperoni, mushrooms and basil 

leaves in a large bowl. Mix well, cover bowl and refrigerate to chill. 
3.Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). 
4.When dough is ready, punch it down and separate it into 2 equal parts. Roll 
parts out into thin circles on a lightly floured 

surface. Fill each circle with 1/2 of the cheese/meat filling and fold over, 
securing edges by folding in and pressing with a 

fork. Brush the top of each calzone with egg and place on a lightly greased 
cookie sheet. 
5.Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 30 minutes. Serve hot.

Leftover Food Ideas

Cool leftover French toast, then freeze it in single layers. Store in
self-sealing plastic bags. Pop in your toaster to reheat.

Combine leftover mashed potatoes with chopped onion and shredded cheese,
then bake. Tastes like twice-baked potatoes with less work!

Leftover spaghetti noodles? Add diced raw vegetables and enough bottled
Italian dressing to coat for an easy and refreshing salad.

Form balls of leftover mashed potatoes around cubes of cheese, roll in
Parmesan cheese or crumbs and broil until golden brown.

To heat leftover tortillas, grease a skillet lightly with oil and place
over medium heat. Dip tortillas in water and quickly steam-saute them on
both sides.

[CnD] HIGH FIBER BAKED MACARONI

2011-07-06 Thread Cheryl Osborn
BAKED MACARONI

Ingredients
1/2 pound extra-lean ground beef
1 small onion, diced, about 1/2 cup
1 box (7 ounces) whole-wheat elbow macaroni
1 jar (15 ounces) reduced-sodium spaghetti sauce
6 tablespoons Parmesan cheese

Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 F. Lightly coat a baking dish with cooking spray.

In a nonstick frying pan, cook ground beef and onion until the meat is
browned and the onion is translucent. Drain well.

Fill a large pot 3/4 full with water and bring to a boil. Add the
pasta and cook until al dente (tender), 10 to 12 minutes, or according
to the package directions. Drain the pasta thoroughly.

Add the cooked pasta and spaghetti sauce to the meat and onions. Stir
to mix evenly. Spoon the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Bake
until bubbly, about 25 to 35 minutes.

Divide the spaghetti among individual plates. Sprinkle each with 1
tablespoon Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
