Recipe time again

[mrtristan]

Believe it or not, but two of my best dishes came from recipes shared on a video help forum. I haven't baked them in a while, but tenders' banana muffins are a hit with my workers and all of my relatives love the pizza I make, based on galactica's recipe.

So, it's recipe time again. Share a good recipe for anything, if you have one.

Here's one for some ham and bean soup.

2 tbs olive oil
1 1/2 lbs italian sausage
2 oz. prociutto ham
2 onion
2 carrots
2 celery stalks
1 tsp thyme
3 can white beans
1 qt. chicken stock

Mash one can o' beans and set aside.

Cook sausages in pot until browned on all sides. Remove and let cool. Cut into slices.

Cook ham and sweat veggies in pot, add thyme.

Add sausage, beans, and broth.

Bring to boil, then simma 20-30 minutes.

Like most soups, this one's better if you let it rest for a day.

Can you repost tenders' banana muffins
and your pizza recipe?

[mrtristan]

Damn it. I got timed out, after spending a long time posting the recipes and my modifications.

Here's the recipe for the banana muffins:

1/4 cup butter, margarine or shortening
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup sour milk (put a little lemon juice or vinegar - 1 tsp is enough - in
your measuring cup and fill to 1/4 cup with regular milk; let sit a few
minutes to sour)
1 egg
1/2 cup banana (I find 1 banana is about right)
1/2 teaspoon soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup flour

Add dry ingredients,then mix in the rest.
BAKE AT 350 degrees F.
10-15 mins
Test with toothpick - should come out clean when done.


Here's the recipe for the pizza:

Dough
Ingredients
1. 3 cups flour
2. 1 cup water also 2tbs water
3. 1/2 tsp salt
4. 1/2 tsp sugar
5. 2 tbs crisco (shortening)
6. 2-3 cloves garlic
7. Parsley, oregano, basil (fresh if you have it)
8. Packet yeast (2tsp if you dont have packet)
9 Olive Oil

Combine 1 cup water, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp sugar and 2 tbs crisco into a bowl. Microwave for approx 1 min or until crisco is completely melted. Set aside

In a cup, put 2tbs warm water and packet/2tsp yeast together. Sprinkle a dash of sugar into the cup, mix via swirling and let the yeast start its thing

In a large bowl (I use a Cuisanart with a bread blade for kneeding) add 3 cups sifted flower. Season to your liking with parsley, oregano, basil and add the 2-3 cloves of pressed or chopped garlic.
Add the yeast mixture, which should be quite foamy by now.
Slowly add the water mix (with crisco you heated) to the bowl and mix with a large spoon until it becomes next to impossible to mix with a spoon anymore. (If using the cuisanart, like i do, turn processor on, slowly add the water mix until the blade starts picking up the dough ball, switch to kneed and let it run for about 1 min)

Remove ball of dough from bowl, dust the counter or a wood cutting board with flour and kneed the dough (adding a small amount of flour) until the perfect consistency is achieved.

Get another big bowl (ceramic or glass is best) and pour a small amount of olive oil into the bowl. add the dough ball coating all sides with the oil. Cover with a towel, and set in a sunlight area for 1 hour.
You can "force rise" the dough by placing bowl in the oven at 150-200F for about 15 mn. if you do this, ensure the top is well coated with oil, otherwise it will start to cook and get crusty.

Sauce
1 can peeled tomatos
any and all italian seasoning you can get your hands on
2-3 cloves of garlic
olive oil

In large sauce pan, add the peeled tomatos (cut them into small sections before you add them, and leave only a small amount of the tomato juice from the can. Pour most of it out). Add the italian seasoning (parsley, onion powder, bais, oregano etc) to your liking. Add pressed or chopped cloves of garlic and about 1-2 tbs olive oil. Simmer and let cool.

when the dough is risen (will look like a poofy mushroom, if you jab it with your finger it will puff down like all the air was shot out) remove from oven and set oven to 350F.

Deep dish use all the dough, and a pizza pan with at least 1" sides that stand vertically. Thin crust, cut dough in half, and roll it out with rolling pin.

Spread dough onto pizza pan (or if you have a pizza stone, thats even better! Heat the stone first, then put dough on it otherwise the bottom will be soggy)

Spread sauce on to dough, top with topping of your liking, load with cheese and bake for 10-15 min

Once you make a few pizzas, you should be able to make the dough by feel and adjust the amount of water and oil to your liking. Follow the recipe for your first couple attempts, to get the hang of it, though. I don't measure at all anymore, like the rest of my cooking.

I also started making a CPK-styled barbeque pizza.

You'll need:

1 Chicken Breast
Mozzarella Cheese
1/3 Red Onion, sliced thinly or to your liking
BBQ sauce of your choice (I like KC Masterpiece)
Cilantro, chopped

First, season the chicken with some salt and pepper and toss it on the bbq. You can also grill the chicken, but putting it on a barbeque gives it a more rich, smoky flavor. When it's done, chop into bite size pieces.

Spread the BBQ sauce as you would tomato based sauce and top with the chicken, onion, cilantro, and cheese.

Those recipies look pretty good. I should give them a try.
I don't have any recipies to share at the moment, I never measure things.
I'll see if I can pen some down though.

Cheers mrtristin,

I have one or two recipes to contribute but
I will have to look them up to remember the
measurements. Thanks.

I have *never* made my own pizza dough
and it is about time I started.

[mrtristan]

The first couple times I made pizza, they sucked. I don't know why, but I got better and better, after I stopped measuring. At first I didn't believe galactica, when he said that his pizza is better than any restaurant, fast food or otherwise, but once you get it down, you'll be making the best pizza you ever had. What's particularly nice is that you can adjust the recipe to just the way you like it, from the dough to the toppings.

I forgot to mention that I usually used canned tomato sauce instead of making the sauce from scratch. The taste difference is hardly noticeable and it's a lot easier. I use one small can of tomato sauce and add my own oregano, basil, parsley, and some olive oil.

Doramius' Fantastic CHERRY CHEESE-CUPCAKE RECIPE!

24 - Aluminum foil cupcake tins
1tsp. - Vanilla Extract
1 1/2 Cups - packed confectioners powdered sugar
24oz. - plain cream cheese (usually in 3 8oz. packages)
2 cans - whole cherry pie filling (preferably Comstock Ruby Red) Other fruits can be substituted
12oz. tub - whipped cream
1 box - Vanilla Wafers. (may need second box for garnish is desired)


Mix Vanilla exract, cream cheese, whipped cream while slowly adding in the sugar until completely blended.

Place foil tins in deep baking dish. Place vanilla wafers in bottom of each tin.

With large tablespoon (fancy cake decorator may be used for show) spoon mix into each of the CupCake tins while making a large dimple in the top middle. Each portion size is determined on hom much mix you put into each tin. Larger portions may only require 12 tins.

With another tablespoon, place 2 or 3 cherries, draining SOME of the sauce back in the can, into the dimple of each cheese cupcake. Place in Refrigerator for 1-2 hours to thicken.

Alternatives:
For a crushed crust, place broken bits or crushed wafers in bottom of tin.

Half wafers can be slid vertically down the side of a tin like a half sunset for decoration.

A single mint leaf on each cupcake may also be used for garnish.

If planning on using chocolate instead of fruit, make cupcake mix per instructions, add 1/3 cup fudge topping and fold or slowly stir mix 3-5 times for swirling effect. Add chocolate shell for drizzle effect and place mini chocolate bars in the dimple of the mix.

Best fruit alternatives are strawberries, blueberries, pineapple, and mandarin oranges. (Caution: Oranges, pineapple, and other such fruits do not necessarily come in a thick syrup as do cherries, blueberries, & strawberries. These should be drained completely before placing on cheesecakes)

EDIT: I added the recipe for those PM'ing me and asking where the recipe was. CLICK THE DAMN WORDS NOOB! - You know who you are.

Easiest Key-Lime Pie recipe (and delicious)

Ingredients:
1 graham cracker pie crust
1/2 container of cool whip
1 can of frozen limeade (the small one, not the large one)
1 can of condensed milk

In a bowl, mix together condensed milk, limeade and cool whip till smooth. Pour into pie crust and let set in freezer till hardened.

NOTE FOR DIETERS- Can be made with non-fat condensed milk, non-fat cool-whip and low fat pie crust for those watching what they eat. I make it this way, and it still tastes delicious.

damndamndamn! I'm at work now and I forgot my lasagna recipe. you know, the one that's so good it's banned in all ****** countries

[Doramius]

damndamndamn! I'm at work now and I forgot my lasagna recipe. you know, the one that's so good it's banned in all ****** countries

Capmaster knows what it's like to be banned from many places. He can never go to a convenience store to buy bulk quantities of Vasaline nor can he visit several Motels inside PA. And there's that Dairy farm, and the sheep sanctuary, and the goat farm, every petting zoo in 20 different states.

Cap, Are you allowed back to Yellowstone after that string of Elk & Buffalo incidents?

[shelbyGT]

he makes ME buy the vasoline now. It's hard hauling in those gallon jugs of that stuff.
