Inspired by PolyesterJones' curry recipe in the curry blog, I've decided to start a recipe blog.

Post your recipes here - it doesn't have to be your favourite necessarily, ie. it could be one you make often because it's easy and pretty tasty.

Anyway, here goes:

Pesto and Haloumi Pasta
-----------------------------------
-Block of Haloumi cheese
-Small jar (about 120ml or so) of Basil pesto
-Any pasta you want, but spirals work well
-Extra light sour cream
-Snow peas, chopped (if you want)
-Sprouts

1. Cook the pasta and put it aside.
2. Slice the haloumi as thick or as thin as you want, I find 2 to 3 mm thick works pretty well.
4. Coat the haloumi slices with oil and sprinkle some dried oregano
5. Heat a frying pan on the stove with a little oil
6. Fry the haloumi slices for about 30 secs to a minute each side
7. Add the pasta, snow peas and sprouts to the pan and mix well.
8. Add about half the jar of pesto (more if you want) and a couple of spoons of sour cream, and continue to mix until heated.
9. Serve :)

I have here the recipe for the best freaking cookies in the world:

Full recipe here

They are chocolate cookies with dark chocolate chips, and they are just the slightest bit salty, and I love them.

Verdana on Jun 28 '07 at 7:17pm
I don't think we have any sugar, or I'd go make some right now. I bought dark chocolate just for this purpose a couple days ago.

Mmmmm chocolate....

That's not orange chicken!

I'm talking chinese take-out style.

I can't believe you've never heard of orange chicken. You are a disgrace to your chinese ancestors.

Hmm... most of my good recipes are carefully guarded family secrets. Or very very not exact:

Cut up about 3-5 nice tomatoes into wedges.
Cut up into 1/2 slices 1/2 to 1 vidalia onion (depending on how much you like onions)
put them in a bowl.

throw on some olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

season to taste using salt, freshly ground pepper, oregano, dill, "italian seasonings", basil, whatever.

And you have a delicious tomato salad. It's a pot luck hit.
Dr_Manhattan
Dr_Manhattan on Jul 09 '07 at 8:10pm
Sounds good. I don't know what vidalia onions are, but thus is the magic of teh internets.
jenraskopf
jenraskopf on Jul 09 '07 at 8:12pm
And that's about how I got the recipe from my mom... except she didn't say which spices to use.
brownstar
brownstar on Jul 09 '07 at 8:14pm
we need some bachelor recipes. these ingredients are far too exotic.

I'm talking like chicken + something and then add heat.
KBShakedown
KBShakedown on Jul 09 '07 at 8:15pm
Chicken + oranges + chinese magic + heat = orange chicken?
cassiepaige
cassiepaige on Jul 09 '07 at 8:20pm
Like chicken wing dip?

2 chicken breasts
8 oz of Frank's Hot Sauce
2 celery stalks
16 oz cream cheese
shredded Cheddar Cheese

Boil chicken breasts and set them aside to cool.
Cut up celery.
Put cream cheese, a handful of cheddar, celery, and the hot sauce into a bowl. Microwave until cream cheese is melted (but stir often!)
Cube chicken, add to cream cheese and stir in. Microwave for one minute.
Pour into oven safe dish and sprinkle cheddar cheese on top.
Pop in the oven at 350 for 15-20 minutes.

Eat with crackers, tostitos, chips, whatever.

cassiepaige
cassiepaige on Jul 09 '07 at 8:22pm
Oh.
You don't have to put the celery in.
Sometimes I add dried onion to it.
You can adjust the hot sauce according to your personal taste.
brownstar
brownstar on Jul 09 '07 at 8:24pm
nice, thats what i'm talking about! I always wanna make shit but I never have the ingredients.

It always ends up being: Chicken breast + diana marinade + george foreman grill + rice

cassiepaige on Jul 09 '07 at 8:28pm
Is this just for dinners or can I post desserts and appetizers (aka party food)?

someone should put up the proper way to cook a steak, cuz mines alwayz be endin' up dry.
KBShakedown
KBShakedown on Jul 09 '07 at 9:01pm
I know how to tell how cooked a steak is!

Touch your index finger to your thumb like an 'ok' sign and then with your other index finger, press on the fleshy part of your palm below your thumb. That's what a rare steak should feel like.

For medium rare, touch your middle finger and thumb.

Medium, ring finger and thumb.

Etc.
KBShakedown
KBShakedown on Jul 09 '07 at 9:05pm
Wait, I meant index and thumb is medium rare. Rare is just your relaxed hand. Shift everything over one finger.

Oh no! What have I done? Now everyone will have overcooked steaks!!

Or was it just part of my evil master plan....?
jenraskopf
jenraskopf on Jul 09 '07 at 9:06pm
Here's a good one:

Take a glass mostly filled with coke and ice.
Add rum.

Stir lightly and enjoy.


Very popular recipe at the Raskopf house. :)

If you brush a steak with oil, and season it with salt and pepper and maybe some minced onion or garlic, the best thing is to throw it on the bbq, but you can also do a nice broil or pan fry.

Peanut Butter Cookies

½ cup sugar
1 egg
1 cup peanut butter

Mix together very well and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Roll into balls, put on a cookie tray about an inch apart. Flatten and bake for 20 minutes at 325°F. I usually double the recipe.
jenraskopf
jenraskopf on Jul 09 '07 at 9:10pm
I would recommend for a little fancier steak, making a red wine vinagrette to brush on it, then simmering the remaining vinagrette and adding corn starch to make a glaze.
KBShakedown

I make my steaks with soy sauce and pineapple. I call them Hawaiian Sex Fillets. Except they're not really fillets because I lurve rib-eyes. Suck it Trebek.

iPear, make sure you marinate your steak in something, and don't flip it a lot. Leave it sit for 5 minutes before cutting.
KBShakedown
KBShakedown on Jul 09 '07 at 9:52pm
and don't flip it a lot.

Good tip. A lot of people feel like when they grill, they have to constantly move and turn shit around to feel like they're doing something.

I cook my steaks really hot and fast. It cooks it well on the outside and leaves the inside nice and red. And sometimes I pee on it for extra moisture.
cassiepaige
cassiepaige on Jul 09 '07 at 9:55pm
I usually cook my steaks on medium (on my grill) and keep my steak on for about 5 minutes longer than everyone elses.

Red in the middle = death.

Hot dogs are the only food I grill and move around a lot. That's just so they don't get those weird blister things all over them. Ew.
KBShakedown
KBShakedown on Jul 09 '07 at 9:56pm
Red in the middle = tastiest death ever.
cassiepaige
cassiepaige on Jul 09 '07 at 10:07pm
You enjoy that death.

What about heart attacks on a stick? Those are delicious and deadly.

Ingredients:
Mini Hotdogs (You know, the ones in the vacuum sealed pouches?)
Bacon (about a pound)
Brown Sugar

Cut bacon in half.
Wrap each slice of bacon around a mini hotdog.
Put all hotdogs in a cake pan.
Sprinkle brown sugar over all hotdogs.
Bake at 350 until bacon is crispy and caramelized. (20ish minutes?)

Stick a toothpick into each hotdog.

Yum. Death.
brownstar
brownstar on Jul 09 '07 at 10:09pm
Seriously? It doesn't sound that deadly? Vienna sausages, bacon and brown sugar?

No, not vienna sausages.

I think they are called lil smokies.
I just call them little hotdogs.



That picture is going to be huge.
