ATOT Recipe Thread (AT's Own Cookbook!)

[Netopia]

Hey Guys and Gals,

The other day I was thinking about the tremendous number of people who frequent AT from all over the globe, and it occurred to me that there are probably hundreds of tasty dishes / desserts that many of us have never had the pleasure to have eaten. So.... I thought I'd start a thread and see if it got much traffic.

I'm personally not much of a cook, but if those of you who are wish to share, then perhaps even we non-cookers can find something to at least try.

Only time will tell if this is a good idea or not.

Anyone willing to be the first?

Joe

No one likes my own creations, except for me.

My favorite creation (heavilly modified from a different receipe):

Spicy artichoke and olive pasta

[*]1 lb linguine, cooked
[*]15 garlic cloves, chopped and browned in a touch of olive oil
[*]1/2 cup onion chopped and browned
[*]1 6 oz jar marinated artichokes, roughly chopped
[*]30 kalamata olives, roughly chopped and pits removed
[*]1/2 cup pine nuts
[*]6 red fresno peppers (very hot); roasted, seeds removed, and peeled
[*]1/2 cup fresh mozzerela cheese, chopped and barely melted in

Mix it all together and eat.

I tried this once. I got a number of recipes, but I recently found out I'm allergic to wheat. There's only three but knock yourself out: (you may have to ask welst10 and Kenny1234 for permission for theirs)

Wonderful potatoes

Ingredients:
Potatoes
Onions
Thyme
Bacon (not those thin slices, chunks)

Peel the potatoes. Put some olive oil and some butter in a frying pan. Dice onions. Put said onions and the bacon in the pan and let bake for ~10 minutes. Stir occasionally. Slice chuncks of potato. Add said potato. Let bake for ~15 minutes. Add thyme (3-4 tbsp), bake for ~5 minutes. Serve.

 

[GasX]

One of my favorites:

4 (6 to 8-ounce) strip steaks, 3/4 to 1-inch thick
Kosher salt
2 teaspoons black peppercorns, coarsely crushed
2 tablespoons clarified, unsalted butter
3/4 cup beef stock or broth
3 tablespoons cognac
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon green peppercorns in brine, drained and slightly crushed

Preheat oven to 200 degrees F.
Sprinkle steaks with kosher salt and crushed black pepper. Heat butter in a 12-inch, heavy bottomed saute pan over medium heat. Once butter is hot, add steaks and cook until browned on both sides, about 2 minutes per side for medium-rare and 3 minutes per side for medium. Remove steaks from pan and place on a rack set on a sheet pan; place in oven to keep warm.

Add the stock to the saute pan and whisk until the crispy bits release from bottom of pan. Allow the liquid to reduce for 3 to 4 minutes over medium-high heat. Add cognac, heavy cream, and green peppercorns to the pan. Increase heat to high and cook, whisking continually, until sauce thickens slightly, just enough to coat the back of a spoon; this will take 5 to 7 minutes.

Season the sauce, to taste, with kosher salt. Place steaks on plates, top with sauce, and serve immediately.

"Spanish Rice"

• 1 Pound Ground Beef
  2 Packs of Lipton's Spanish Rice
  
• Brown the ground beef, seasoning to taste. (We use a little Mrs. Dash Original Blend)
• Drain any greese from the pan.
• Cook the Spanish Rice, per package instructions, in the pan with the meat.
• Serve with Salsa and Sour Cream. ( Optional )

You could modify the meat-rice ratio... the one listed is the one we use.


"Pink Salad"

My grandma taught me this receipe. I'm not sure if it had a "real" name, but I always called it "Pink" Salad because it's Pink...and I was little at the time... so it made sense then.

• 1 tub Cool Whip (thawed)
  1 can Fruit Cocktail (drained)
  1 tub Cottage Cheese
  1 package Strawberry or Cherry Jello
  
• Mix Fruit Cocktail, Cottage Cheese, and Jello together, until well blended.
• Fold in the Cool Whip, careful to maintain "fluffyness".
• Chill

Cool Whip comes in two sizes (I don't know their measurements though). If you use a large tub, then use the large can of fruit, the large tub of cottage cheese, and the large box of Jello. If you use the small tub of Cool Whip then use the smaller package of each item.

The flavor of Jello is a matter of taste. I've used Lime for a "Green" Salad and Orange for an "Orange" salad.

 

[Netopia]

This is looking good so far!

Perhaps people could give their recipes a name before the recipe. Might also help to list the type of dish. For instance:

Dessert
Pineapple Casserole

or

Meat
Spicy Port Sticks

Something like that.

This is my favorite and easiest dessert to make that will wow guests or just your s/o.

Molten Volcano Cake with Sugar Coated Raspberries
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup unsalted butter or unsalted margarine*
8 ounces semisweet chocolate chips, or bars, cut into bite-size chunks
5 large eggs
1/2 cup sugar
Pinch of salt
4 teaspoons flour (or matzo meal, ground in a blender to a fine powder)
8 extra-large paper muffin cups (or use regular paper muffin cups, which will make 12 cakes)

Garnish:
1 (6 ounce) container raspberries, barely moistened and rolled in about
1/2 cup sugar right before serving

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DIRECTIONS:
1. Melt butter and chocolate in a medium heat-proof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water; remove from heat. Beat eggs, sugar and salt with a hand mixer in a medium bowl until sugar dissolves. Beat egg mixture into chocolate until smooth. Beat in flour or matzo meal until just combined. (Batter can be made a day ahead; return to room temperature an hour or so before baking.)

2. Before serving dinner, adjust oven rack to middle position; heat oven to 450 degrees. Line a standard-size muffin tin (1/2 cup capacity) with 8 extra-large muffin papers (papers should extend above cups to facilitate removal). Spray muffin papers with vegetable cooking spray. Divide batter among muffin cups.

3.Bake until batter puffs but center is not set, 8 to 10 minutes. Carefully lift cakes from tin and set on a work surface. Pull papers away from cakes and transfer cakes to dessert plates.

4. Top each with sugared raspberries and serve immediately.
