I don’t like hot food unless it is just very mild should I leave out jalapenos in a recipe?

Posted by admin on January 27th, 2010 and filed under food recipe | 4 Comments »

The recipe seems to have about 5 or 6 pounds of ingredients with 2 jalapenos. I’m not sure if I should put in 1 jalapeno to prevent it being bland or not use them at all. It is a raw food recipe for Peroshkis (to Russians what pizza is to Italians).
If I shouldn’t use jalapenos is there a milder hot pepper or something else I should substitute?

No, it’s not the seeds that you have to take out. It’s the somewhat whitish ribs inside where the seeds touch the outer skin. Remove everything inside including the seeds, the stalk and its extension inside and the ribs or inner flaps to lessen the intensity. I don’t guarantee, however, you’ll get the hot completely out.

To make things simpler, simply use red or green sweet bell peppers. There are cultured jalapenos without the fire. Then there are also the altered jalapenos that sting just a little.

I need an African food recipe?

Posted by admin on January 17th, 2010 and filed under food recipe | 4 Comments »

I have this thing at my school and I need an african dish. I need a yummy recipe, something that 11 and 12 year olds will enjoy. I need to know where it is from and what tribe eats it. Thanks!

This dish is kid friendly, easy and yummy. It’s also peanut free, since most schools have banned peanuts. It’s from Senegal, enjoyed by the "Wolof" peoples.

You can use canned black eyed peas, just rinse them and drain well.

AKARA (Senegalese fritters)

1 cup dried black-eyed peas
3 1/2 cups cold water
1/2 teaspoon salt
Oil for deep-frying

Optional spices:

1/8 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons minced onion
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

In a large bowl, rinse the black-eyed peas (remove any that float) and drain. Add 3 1/2 cups of cold water, then cover and refrigerate at least 8 hours. Working in the bowl in the sink, have a child rub the peas between her hands in the water. As the skins float to the top, skim them off (this can take some time). Drain the skinned peas, then puree them in a blender, working in batches and adding only enough water to make a mixture the consistency of pancake batter. If it is too watery, the batter won’t hold together to form the fritters.

Obviously, if you are using canned black eyed peas, you cann just drain well and puree.

Pour the batter into a bowl and add salt and any optional spices. Heat 1 1/2 inches of oil to 360 degrees in a deep pan (an adult’s job). Carefully drop a teaspoonful of batter into the hot oil and continue until the pan is full of fritters but not overcrowded. Fry each for 4 to 5 minutes, turning the fritters over after 2 minutes. When the fritters are golden brown, remove them with a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels. Serve with dipping sauce. Makes about 34.

Depending on the kids’ ages, they may enjoy eating these with just good old ketchup.

DIPPING SAUCE: (this is modern recipe)

1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 medium onion, diced
1 garlic clove, minced
1 cup canned crushed tomatoes
Dash of Worcestershire sauce or brown cooking sauce
Salt to taste
Hot pepper sauce (optional)

Saute the onion and garlic with oil over medium heat until soft. Add tomatoes and Worcestershire sauce. Lower heat and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper sauce.

Does anyone have a good dog food recipe?

Posted by admin on November 6th, 2009 and filed under food recipe | 2 Comments »

I need a recipe that calls for fresh meat. We live on a farm and one of the cats that roams around recently gave birth to a litter of kittens. We’ve tried getting rid of them, but no takers. Looking for a recipe that calls for approximately 3 pounds of meat.

A recipe for dog treats would also be acceptable.
I’m not sure I was real clear. I am looking for a DOG food recipe calling for KITTEN meat.

Thanks!

what kind of meat are you planning on using?

DOG FOOD

Boil three pounds of CHICKEN
Cook Four Cups of rice in the CHICKEN stock
Two cups of cooked green beans

Cut CHICKEN into one inch chunks, add to rice along with green beans, pour a little CHICKEN stock over the mixture.

THIS RECIPE CALLS FOR CHICKEN! (no cats allowed)

Fresh carrots are a great dog treat, as are roasted unsalted peanuts.

There are no recipes calling for KITTEN, because no one is sick enough to come up with one.
So why don’t you be the first?

How to commercialise your own food recipe?

Posted by admin on October 28th, 2009 and filed under food recipe | 1 Comment »

For instance, there is Chili recipe which is very famous and sell in the Pasar back in my home town in Sabah. I was thinking to commercialise it, but I can someone tell me how to start? for example like how can know the expiry date of my product?

Ah Soon, first of all i will befriend the pasar hawker & after that buy the copyright of the chili recipe. With a sum of money given to the hawker he will have to tell you everything about the chill including the expiry date.

As for commercialising the chill you just have to go to a packaging factory to suit your need.

Mexican Food recipes..I am looking for a really good spanish rice recipe?

Posted by admin on October 24th, 2009 and filed under food recipe | 3 Comments »

Does anyone have a really good recipe handed down like from generation to generation that is sooo good. Also if you know how to make green rice. Or enchiladas…really good. Any great seasoning ideas for both. Thanks oh and please don’t send me to sites where I can find them myself..I want them from people who actually have tried their own recipes.

Spanish Rice

A must with southwestern dishes of all kinds. Simple to make and holds up well in the refrigerator for leftovers.

Makes 4 servings

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons yellow onions, chopped
1 cup rice, white, long grain
1/2 cup tomato juice
1 cup water
2 chicken bouillon cubes
3 dashes bottled hot pepper sauce
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 pinch black pepper
1 Roma tomato, chopped
2 tablespoons red bell peppers, chopped
2 tablespoons green bell peppers, chopped

Preparation:

In a saucepan that has a tight fitting cover, melt the butter and sauté the onions until soft. Add the rice and stir to coat the rice with butter, then add the tomato juice, water, bouillon cubes, pepper sauce, chili powder, and black pepper.

Stir to dissolve the bouillon cubes and bring to a boil. Once the liquid reaches a boil, reduce heat to its lowest setting, cover, and go away for 25 minutes.

Do not stir, do not look under the lid, do not worry !!

Once your timer goes off, remove the pan from the heat, lift the lid off quickly and throw in the tomatoes, and chopped peppers and put the lid back on quickly.

Do not stir, do not taste, do not worry !! Allow the rice to steam in the pan for 20 more minutes.

Now… If you didn’t cheat and if you didn’t worry, your Spanish rice should be perfect. Stir in the tomatoes and peppers and serve with a smile. If you did cheat…Well, Shame on you !!!

I would like the Food Network recipe for S’mores Brownies?

Posted by admin on October 24th, 2009 and filed under food recipe | 1 Comment »

For some reason I have not been able to access Food Networks web page. I want that dang brownie recipe! lol Can you post it for me?

Crust:
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 1/2 cups crushed graham cracker crumbs
2 tablespoons sugar
Pinch fine salt
Brownie:
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter
4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
1 cup packed light brown sugar
3/4 cup white sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
4 large cold eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour

Topping:
4 cups large marshmallows

Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and heat oven to 325 degrees F. Line an 8 by-8-inch square baking pan with foil so it hangs over the edges by about 1 inch.
For the crust: Lightly butter the foil with some of the melted butter. Stir the rest of the butter together with the crumbs, sugar, and salt in a medium bowl. Press the crumb mixture evenly over the bottom of the pan. Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, make the brownie. Put the butter and chocolate in a medium microwave safe bowl. Melt in the microwave on 75 percent power for 2 minutes. Stir, and microwave again until completely melted, about 2 minutes more. Alternatively, put the butter and chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Bring a saucepan filled with 1 inch or so of water to a very slow simmer; set the bowl on the pan without touching the water. Stir occasionally until melted. Stir the light brown and white sugars, vanilla and salt into the melted chocolate. Add the eggs and beat vigorously to make a thick and glossy batter. Add the flour and stir until just incorporated.

Pour batter into the prepared pan. Bake until the top is crispy and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out mostly clean, with a few crumbs, about 40 to 45 minutes.

Remove from the oven and carefully position a rack about 6 inches from the broiler and preheat on low. Layer marshmallows across the top and toast under the broiler until golden, (keep an eye on it, it can go quick), about 2 minutes. Cool on a rack, gently removing the brownies from the pan using the aluminum flaps. Carefully separate any marshmallow from the foil and fold away. Cut into 12 (2-inch) squares.
