Mashed Potato

[Pompeii]

Gullah Rice

 

3 tablespoons olive oil

3 red chili peppers

4 cloves garlic

1 cup diced onion

1 cup red and yellow bell peppers

2 tablespoons chopped fresh Oregano

2 tablespoons chopped fresh Parsley

2 tablespoons chopped fresh Chives

1 14.5 ounce can stewed tomatoes

1 cup summer sausage

1 1/2 pounds medium shrimp

4 cups cooked rice

Salt and pepper to taste

 

In a large skillet place three tablespoons olive oil on medium to high heat. Next, infuse the oil with the chili peppers. Do this by cutting the peppers in half and laying them in the oil turning them often with tongs until the oil reaches a nice sizzle.

 

Remove the chili peppers and add in 4 cloves of minced garlic. Brown the garlic and then add in onion and bell peppers. Let this cook for about five minutes stirring often.

 

Add in herbs and tomatoes. Cook for about three more minutes then add in summer sausage until warmed through. Next, add shrimp and cook until tender and white-pink or about three minutes.

 

Add to the mixture 4 cups cooked rice, fold in; add a pinch of salt and pepper (to taste).

 

* Personally I would use Green Chilis from a can rather than the hot peppers.  There's a great buy at Martins on Frozen Shrimp this week.

Need a recipe for making cucumbers and sour cream.......thanks!

[Guest snellma]

How about cucumbers and vinegar.

 

Slice cucumbers as thin as possible.

Slice an onion as thin as possible.

Pour 1/4 - 1/3 c. vinegar into a 2 cup container.  Add 1/4 c. sugar.  Add remaining water to the 2 cup line.  Stir till dissolved.

Add all ingredients and add salt and pepper to taste.  The longer they sit the better they are.

Tomatoes and peppers can also be added.

I would definitely make at least one day in advance so they have time to soak.

[Petee]

Peel and slice your cucumbers.

 

Add enough Miracle Whip to bind them together, a little Vinegar, salt, sugar and just a little milk.

 

Let them sit for a couple of hours for the flavors to blend.

GREAT Recipe for Thanksgiving!  Made it last year and everyone loved it.  

Tasty Alternative to "Green Bean Casserole".  Easily doubled or tripled for large gatherings.

 

 

Swiss (or Cheddar) Vegetable Casserole:  4-6 Servings

 

1 can Cream of Mushroom soup

1/3 cup Sour Cream

1/4 tsp ground Black Pepper

1 bag (16oz) frozen veggies - thawed:  Broccoli, Cauliflower, Carrots (or veggies of choice)

1 (2.8oz) can French Fried Onions

1/2 cup shredded Swiss or Cheddar Cheese

 

Keep out 1/2 can of French Fried Onions & 1/4 cup cheese - stir everything else into 2qt. casserole dish.  

Bake covered @ 350 for about 40 minutes (until veggies are tender).  

Remove from oven & stir.

Add remaining cheese & fried onions to top and bake uncovered for additional 5 minutes (to melt cheese).

[Guest snellma]

Sounds great, but is that enough cheese?  My family would probably want more.

[Guest JenMc32]

That's what the recipe calls for...I added a touch more cheddar in mine.  (Didn't really measure - just threw some in LOL)

[tl1975]

I make that every year for Thanksgiving.  I also throw in more cheese.  It is everyone's favorite and it is real easy to make.

Onions on the grill

 

*peel a medium to small onion

*cut a small slice off the bottom so that the onion sits flat

*cut a hole in the top and insert a beef bouillon cube  

     * I use the small square ones if you use the larger ones cut it in half.

*spray sides and top generously with spray butter or coat the top and sided with softened butter

*wrap in a double layer of foil up around the onion twisting the top of the foil tightly

*place on the grill for 10-15 min.

*if you listen carefully you will hear it percolate  

*remove from the grill, slice and enjoy

 

~ we like to sprinkle shredded mozzarella on ours to make it like French onion soup

Baked Cactus Chips

 

5 Russet potatoes use the slicers on your grater to slice. A mandolin would work nicely, also.

Pam Spray

Olive Oil

Salt

Pepper

 

Accoutrements: (whatever you have or want)

Bacon (can use bacon bits)

Cheese (can be fresh, cheese whiz sauce, or salsa con queso)

Sour cream

The list can go on and on!

 

Spray a baking sheet with the Pam spray. Put your sliced potatoes on the tray, drizzle with olive oil, add salt, pepper, and toss. (Just a side note, I don't peel the potatoes, I like the taste of the skins) Put in a 350 oven for twenty minutes, then turn and cook for twenty more minutes. Toss and put under the broiler (my temp is 500) for 5 minutes, turn and repeat for another 5 minutes. Cool and add accompaniments. Enjoy!! As with all my recipes, you can eyeball and do what works for you. I use olive oil because it is a bit more heart healthy, but you can do what you have! You can also alter the temp, depending on the crisp that you want.

Snellma's Hot Pickled Cauliflower

 

 

2 large garlic cloves, peeled, halved, and lightly crushed

10-12 small dried hot red chilies, broken into halves

1 tbs pickling spice

1 1/2 lbs carrots

3 medium onions

2 medium green bell peppers

2 large heads cauliflower

6 1/4 cups water

2 1/2 cups white wine vinegar

1/4 cup coarse salt

 

Place a half clove of garlic, a fourth of the dried chilies, and 3/4 teaspoon of pickling spice into 4 (1qt) canning jars.

Cut carrots in half lengthwise and then cut crosswise into 2 inch pieces.

Cut onions into 1 inch squares.

Seed bell peppers and cut into 1 inch squares.

Break cauliflower into flowerettes.

Divide carrots, onions, bell peppers, and cauliflower equally among the jars, packing tightly.

IN a medium size pan, bring water, vinegar, and salt to a boil over high heat; then pour evenly over vegetables.  

Put lids on jars and let cool.  Refrigerate for at least 2 weeks before serving.  The pickled mixture will keep in the refrigerator almost indefinitely.

 

 

I put pepperocinni peppers and hot hungarian peppers in mine instead of the chilies.
