Rice Pilaf 
Source: The Working Stiff Cookbook

Serves 4
This is the rice to make when your entrée doesn't have a lot of sauce and you 
need the flavor of the rice to stand on its own.   
RECIPE INGREDIENTS
 
2 tablespoons butter 
2 shallots, minced 
2 cloves garlic, minced 
1 1/2 cups long-grain white rice 
3 1/2 cups chicken broth 
1 teaspoon salt 
Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish 
   
RECIPE METHOD
 
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the butter, spreading it so that it 
evenly coats the bottom of the pan. Add the shallots and garlic and cook, 
stirring frequently, until the shallots soften, about 2 minutes. Add the rice 
and stir until the grains are thoroughly coated with butter. Add the broth and 
salt and stir. Bring the liquid to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover the 
pan, and simmer for 18 minutes, or until the rice is just cooked through. Put 
rice in a serving bowl or on individual plates, garnish with parsley, and serve.

Free Recipes Quincy Jones' Thriller Ribs

Quincy Jones' Thriller Ribs 
Source: oprah.com
2 rib racks 
2 teaspoons Spike seasoning 
1 teaspoon Accent seasoning 
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 
5 racks baby back ribs (about 5 pound) 
6 garlic cloves, minced 
2 large jalapeño peppers, minced 
2 large onions, halved and thinly sliced 
2 green bell peppers, thinly sliced 
2 red bell peppers, thinly sliced 
2 yellow bell peppers, thinly sliced
In a cup, combine Spike and Accent seasonings and black pepper. Sprinkle 1/4 
teaspoon seasoning mixture on each side of the rib racks. In a small bowl, 
combine the minced garlic, jalapeño peppers, and remaining seasoning mixture. 
Rub the garlic mixture on the top and bottom of the ribs. Line a large roasting 
pan (17 x 11 1/2 inches) with enough foil to wrap all the ribs. Spread a layer 
of onions and bell peppers on top of the foil. Place 2 rib racks, side by side, 
on the vegetables. Continue to layer the onions and peppers and the ribs. 
Tightly wrap the marinated ribs in the foil and refrigerate for 2 days.
Remove the pan from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 30 
minutes. Heat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Before placing the ribs in the oven, reduce the temperature to 300 degrees F. 
Bake the foil-wrapped ribs for 6 to 8 hours.
Remove the ribs. Spoon off the fat from the liquid in the pan and discard, 
reserving the pan juices. Cut each rack into three sections and serve with the 
vegetables and pan juices, plus sides of rice and chopped tomato-and-cucumber 
salad.
Makes about 8 servings.
Note from Quincy: There are two secrets to the ribs: marinade and time. It's a 
dry marinade, not a sauce. The meat is packed tight with garlic, green peppers, 
jalapeños, onions, seasonings. Basically you're mainlining the meat with all 
that good stuff. You wrap the marinated ribs in tinfoil and refrigerate them 
for two days. Then you cook them for—well, you can cook them for six hours, but 
I do it for eight. And the great part is that the meat just falls off the bone.

Vegetable Satay 
Source: © EatingWell Magazine


1 dozen skewers
Although usually made with strips of chicken or beef, this Indonesian-style 
satay can be made with fresh broccoli and cauliflower florets. Hot Madras curry 
has a bit of a kick; use regular curry powder if you just want the flavor of 
curry but not the heat. To save time, look for broccoli and cauliflower already 
cut into florets in the produce section or at the salad bar of your supermarket.

Make Ahead Tip: Prepare through Step 2, cover and refrigerate for up to 1 day. 
| Equipment: 12 skewers
   
RECIPE INGREDIENTS
 
24 broccoli florets (about 10 ounces) 
24 cauliflower florets (about 10 ounces) 
1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce 
1 tablespoon rice vinegar 
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil 
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger or ginger juice 
1 tablespoon smooth natural peanut butter 
1 clove garlic, minced 
1 teaspoon hot Madras curry powder 
1/4 teaspoon salt 
   
RECIPE METHOD
 
Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil over high heat. Add broccoli and 
cauliflower; cook until tender-crisp, about 3 minutes. Drain; rinse under cool 
water.
 
Whisk soy sauce, vinegar, oil, ginger (or ginger juice), peanut butter, garlic, 
curry and salt in a large bowl until smooth. Add the florets; gently toss to 
coat. Let marinate at room temperature for at least 2 hours or cover and 
refrigerate for up to 1 day.
 
To serve, thread 2 broccoli and 2 cauliflower florets onto each skewer. 
(Reserve marinade). Arrange the skewers on a platter in a single layer and 
drizzle with the marinade.

held or stand up mixer). Add soft butter and buttermilk and mix together until 
just combined. Turn speed up to medium and mix for an additional 1 1/2 minutes. 
Turn mixer back to low and slowly add eggs scraping down sides as needed. Pour 
mixture over fruit in cake pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle pecans on top of 
cake. Bake at 350 degrees until a toothpick inserted comes out clean, 30-45 
minutes. Insert knife around edge to loosen sides

Quick Lamb Chops
Ingredients
4 boneless lamb loin chops (1 1/2 lb. total) 
2 teaspoons butter or margarine 
2 teaspoons olive oil 
3/4 cup beef broth 
1/4 cup dry red wine 
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar 
2 tablespoons honey 
1 teaspoon cornstarch 
 Sesame oil 
 Minced fresh mint leaves 

PreparationTrim off and discard any excess fat from lamb chops, then place the 
meat between two pieces of plastic wrap. With a heavy, flat-sided mallet or a 
clean hammer, firmly pound all over until the meat is 1/4 to 1/3 inch thick. 
(Don't pound hard enough to tear the meat.) Melt butter and oil in a 10- to 
12-inch nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat. When butter sizzles, add 
lamb (if all the meat won't fit, cook in batches). Cook, turning once, until 
both sides are well browned and center is no longer pink (cut to test), 4 to 5 
minutes total. Remove meat, transfer to a platter, and keep warm. Smoothly 
blend broth, wine, balsamic vinegar, honey, and cornstarch. Add mixture to pan 
and boil until slightly thickened; pour over meat. Drizzle sesame oil and 
sprinkle mint leaves on top.

Darianas Easy Chocolate Truffles 
Ingredients  
* Two 12 oz. packages semi-sweet chocolate chips 
* Three 4 oz. sweet chocolate bars (chopped) 
* One 7 oz. jar marshmallow cream 
* 4 1/2 cups sugar 
* 2 Tablespoons butter 
* One 12 oz. can evaporated milk

Directions  
* FILLING: 
* Place one 12 oz. package of chocolate chips, plus all the chocolate 
bars and the marshmallow cream into a heat-proof bowl. 
* Heat sugar, butter, and evaporated milk in a heavy-bottomed sauce pan 
until sugar dissolves and mixture comes to a full boil. 
* Boil mixture for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. 
* Pour hot mixture into the bowl of chocolate and mix well. (The 
resulting mixture will become firm and cool enough to scoop.) 
* Line one cookie sheet with Saran Wrap. 
* Using a small scoop, form individual balls and place on cookie sheet. 
* Refrigerate until firm and chilled. 
* CHOCOLATE COATING: 
* In the top part of a double boiler melt the second package of 
chocolate chips and stir until smooth. 
* Using your hands, roll the refrigerated chocolate balls until smooth 
and then place back in the refrigerator to chill for a few minutes. (Chilling 
sets the chocolate to make dipping easier.) 
* Rest each ball on a fork and dip into the melted chocolate. Then 
gently place the ball on a clean cookie sheet lined with wax paper. 
* Refrigerate the truffles or serve immediately at room temperature.

Free Recipes Spanish Omelet

2008-05-11 Thread luvmygroops

Spanish Omelet
In Spain this is called tortilla but we call it a Spanish omelet. My daughter 
spent some time in Spain and loved this.  When she came back she wanted me to 
make it for her.  There it is served at room temperature butI prefer it 
a little warm.

olive oil
2-3 potatoes
4-5 eggs
salt

Cut enough potatoes to make a layer three potatoes deep over the bottom of your 
saute pan. Add a generous splash of olive oil and fry the potatoes until they 
are soft on the inside and crispy and browning on the outside. Season 
generously with salt. Use enough eggs to just bind the potatoes together. I add 
a little water to the eggs and whisk them well. Pour the egg over the potatoes, 
lifting them a little so that the egg flows all around. Cook over medium-low 
heat while the egg sets. It will brown a little on the bottom.  When the bottom 
is set and browning, flip it over by sliding the omelet onto a plate and 
sliding it back on the other side. When it is done, put it on a plate and cut 
into wedges.

When we first started making this, I thought it would be improved by adding 
other ingredients like onions, pepper or parsley..  I experimented but it 
didn't seem to make it better.. It is delicious the way it is.
