Crunchy Ground Beef Tacos
These tacos are your basic crunchy goodness. I serve them simply with lettuce, grated cheddar and Tabasco sauce. I like these with just a bit of beef, but you can use a bit more if you like beefier tacos. Just keep your oil hot so your tortilla gets crunchy.
Rhubarb Cordial
This rhubarb cordial recipe is the best way to savor the season. Throw some chopped rhubarb and sugar in a jar, cover with vodka, and let it sit for a month.
Vanilla scented sour apricot preserves
You can use this Sour Apricot Fruit preserve recipe as a glaze on poultry, or ribs or spoon it into yogurt but we are purists and love it on whole grain toast.
Sugar pie
This is a traditional pie recipe from Quebec. The filling is simple, with maple sugar, cream and flour. It turns into a custardy, sweet maple fudge filling.
Nut Tart
My Norwegian Grandma used to make this tart with Walnuts, because they grew on her trees, but it is also very good using chopped pecans or sliced almonds.
Yogurt Without a Machine
This is the traditional method of my family from India.
Homemade Yogurt with Salton Yogurt Maker Instructions
The instructions that come with the Salton Yogurt Maker give recipes s for a few types of homemade yogurt, and it’s easy to use them to experiment with flavors.
Simple Roasted Carrots
Some things are best left alone, or very close to left alone. I see carrots as one of those things. My mom taught me how to roast root vegetables long ago and there really isn't one thing to improve upon. These carrots are delicious, sweet, and so simple to prepare.
Curry Carrot Chips
I was trying to find something else to do with carrots and while a little labor intensive is really tasty!
Spicy Cumin Roasted Carrots
A simple side dish that goes wonderfully with braises. You can also puree it after roasting...it makes a great mash or dip.
"Kazan Dipi" a.k.a. "Bottom of the Pan"
This fresh rosewater tasting cream recipe has the burned sugar flavour and is very popular in Northern Greece. The name Kazan Dipi means "Bottom of the Pan".
Strawberry Nothing
I named this recipe because it is mostly nothing but air. It's fun to make because it's sort of magic. It breaks all those rules you've heard abou egg whites. You don't have to let them get to room temperature. There's no whipping them first and carefully folding in other ingredients. You just put all the ingredients in a big bowl and beat until you have this huge strawberry cloud.
Nan Khatai
These are wonderful, light, little cardamom butter cookies. They are easy to make, very unique and always a crowd pleaser! This recipe comes from the cookbook I am working on with my Indian mother-in-law. Although this recipe makes a lot, it is easily halved and they also make perfect hostess gifts! - elizabeth c
Fresh Fava Beans with Pancetta and Mint
I think the basis of this probably comes from Marcella Hazan, but I make it so often I don't really remember where the original basis was. I can get young, de-podded fava, so for me, this is quick and easy. However, it's so delicious that I'd be worth shucking all those beans if I couldn't. If you get fava that are young enough (the crease where they attach to the pod hasn't gone brown is usually my rule of thumb) there's no need for the tedious shell removal. The recipe is infinately scaleable. I usually use 3-400 grams (10-15 oz) of de-podded beans, which would equal about 2.5 - 4lbs of favas in the pods.
Eggplant & Tomato Dip
Growing up in Russia, both my parents and grandparents made this simple roasted eggplant and tomato dip. This recipe is easy and delicious!
Garam Masala Yogurt Dip
I'd hardly consider this a recipe, it's so simple and easy. But, it's one of my favorite dips, especially for sweet potato wedges or chips. - fiveandspice
Pesto White Bean Dip
This recipe is really easy to throw together since it relies on pantry staples (aka stuff that fits into a college student's budget). The balsamic vinegar adds a little sweetness without being too overbearing. It's good with pita chips or crudite and also makes a tasty sandwich spread.
Spicy Tuna Dip
This is the most requested dip recipe my family has! It sounds crazy but it is absolutely addicting!
Truffle Scented Chive Dip
Once, when I was outside of San Francisco on a backroad near Napa I had something similar to this truffle scented chive dip recipe at a French Laundry.
Easy Baba Ghanouzh
When I was growing up in Lebanon, there were ALWAYS 2 things you could count on at the dinner table (other than crazy relatives yelling at each other) - hummus and baba ghanouzh. In the old days, Tayta (Grandma in Arabic) would shanghai someone into standing at the stovetop turning eggplants over to char/roast them which inevitably caused even more yelling when things didn't go right. Here's a much easier way to make it
Curry Dip
It's a tad embarrassing to submit this curry dip recipe. It contains only three cheap and accessible ingredients and requires less than five minutes to make.
Red, White and Blue Chipotle Dip
I was trying to figure out what to do with Blue corn chips because I was tired of eating them with just Salsa. I wanted something that was spicy, cool, thick and smokey.
Feta and Walnut Spread with Fig Preserves
After a few swings and misses from a friend's ill-trusted cookbook, I decided to toss the recipes and go with what I had on hand. The result was spectacular--the hit of the party! Salty, sweet and nutty, and with just a hint of spice from the black pepper, this dip is the grown-up version of the cream-cheese-and-jelly sandwich. It's important to use high-quality feta and preserves--don't even think about those plastic-packed feta "crumbles." I recommend Bon Maman fig preserves. Can't find fig preserves? Try swapping out apricot or strawberry. Serve with pita chips, crackers, or toasted slices of bread. - calliehoo
Texas Cheese Ball
Although not necessarily a "dip," I think a classic cheese ball qualifies because if you're impolite or just really hungry, you can put your cracker right in the ball. This recipe came as a child of the necessity of invention as I was asked to do a cheeseball for a function that tasted like one my mom had made using a pre-assembled spice mix, but we didn't have any of the spice mix left. So, the recipe that follows is what we came up with, and it was a hit and was requested at every holiday party we had this season.
