I will be addding some wild rice to my stuffing. I found a source for dried cranberries without any sweetener added. The rice will be cooked in turkey broth. My 10+ pound turkey beast is now thawed in the fridge. I was expcting at least 5 days, but it was a bit faster. By next Tuesday, I will be brining it in a gallon of water with 1 cup salt and 1 cup sugar added. I will place it upside down (breast down) in a big bowl, and poke a few holes into the rib cage from the inside, so the brine can enter in there too. A local supermarket Atlantic, will be going out of business starting next week Friday. I was so upset as they have stuff there that no one else has. Rarely, around here, do you see Japanese people making Sushi in a supermarket, or a butcher shop that will custom cut for free. When I was leaving the store other day, I noticed they had regular Ball lids for 99 cents a box. I will be in their parking lot next Friday morning at 6:30 am to get as many items as I can get for at least 20% off. They employ about 200 people, and all will be jobless. The store is found in Reading Ma, hidden away on a small side street. The owner called me yesterday to remark on my nice letter sent to him. I guess he just wants to retire, as it was his family business for many years.

Thanks Guys: I made a mistake and put the Post here instead of WFD. Cathy: That's a good name " Nemos ". Why didn't I think of that ? If I do the Crab, what should I call that? Maybe I'll give it a woman's name !!! That could get me in trouble here. I'll quit while I'm ahead. LOL! LOU

If you love stuffed peppers you'll love this soup. I made it several time this past winter. It is now one of our favorites. UNSTUFFED PEPPER SOUP Ingredients * 1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef * 3 large green peppers, chopped * 1 large onion, chopped * 2 (14 ounce) cans beef broth * 2 (10 ounce) cans tomato soup, undiluted * 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, undrained * 1 (4 ounce) can mushroom pieces, drained (I haven't used mushrooms yet, I didn't have any both times I made it) * 1 1/2 cups cooked rice Directions In a dutch oven or large saucepan, cook beef, peppers, and onions over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the broth, soup, tomatoes, and mushrooms. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the rice, heat through and serve.

Cookalong #49 ---- FISH!!!!!! Posted by wizardnm (My Page) on Tue, Jun 5, 12 at 20:37 Bumblebeez has picked FISH for this Cookalong. The fish can be either fresh water or ocean but let's keep it fish, not seafood. We can do seafood in the future. I hope there are some good fish recipes in your files! I know I need to eat more fish myself. Please, as always, T+T recipes. This Cookalong will run for the next two weeks.

Parmesan-Crusted Halibut ======================== * Posted by: hoopysmom (My Page) on Wed, Mar 15, 06 at 23:42 This will be my first recipe post. Feels good to finally contribute something that is T&T. Hope your results are as good as mine! Parmesan-Crusted Halibut 1/2 cup flour 2 large eggs 2 tablespoons water 2 cups Panko bread crumbs 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese Zest of 1 lemon, chopped 4 6-oz halibut fillets, skin removed 3 tablespoons olive oil Preheat oven to 400�F. Place flour in one bowl, beat eggs and water place in 2nd bowl, combine Panko, Parmesan and lemon zest in 3rd bowl. Lightly salt and pepper the halibut fillets. Dredge the fillets in flour, next dip in egg and then coat with Panko mixture. Heat olive oil in ovenproof pan (I used my LeCreuset). Saute the fillets in on medium-high until golden-brown crust forms. Turn fillets over and place pan in preheated oven. Roast until centers are pearly white and opaque. Recipe from Ray�s Boathouse: Seafood Secrets of the Pacific Northwest, Ken Gouldthorpe. I have a confession to make, I didn�t have a single egg in the house so I substituted real mayonnaise mixed with a bit of 1/2 & 1/2. It worked perfectly and imagine it changed the flavor just a little. My LeCreuset browned the crust to perfection and finishing the fish in the oven was the key. When I flipped, I could see there would be no way to get the top side done unless I covered the pan, which would have made the crust soggy. So thanks to Kframe and Ann, they saved my bacon, or fish, with their suggestion. Bottom line, heating my oven to 400 was worth it even tho it took less than 10 mins. o RE: Cookalong #49 ---- FISH!!!!!! clip this post email this post what is this? see most clipped and recent clippings Posted by ann_t (My Page) on Wed, Jun 6, 12 at 21:27 Salmon with Julienne Vegetables Salmon Filets or steaks Adapted from: Umberto Menghi 1978 1 large carrot 1 stalk of celery 1 lemon 2 cloves garlic 1 large shallot Parsley White wine Chicken broth (Optional instead of white wine Olive oil .

Don't fish live in the ocean as well as in fresh water lakes? What's the difference between seafood and fish? I'd think seafood would be a broad category that includes fish and shellfish.

Im my world, "fish" means a critter that lives in salt or fresh water & has fins. There are lots of "seafood" recipes above. Here, we use the term "shellfish" for crabs, clams, mussels, oysters, lobster, etc. I think shellfish is what Nancy didn't want included in this thread?

The Tomato Basil Butter is wondereful and can be used other ways. Great on Chicken. I also used it in a version of Chicken Kiev. PARMESAN FRIED FLOUNDER WITH TOMATO-BASIL BUTTER ================================================= Posted by Ruthanna My two favorite Italian entrees are with fish and I was trying to decide which to post but since they don�t taste similar, I�ll add the second one. PARMESAN FRIED FLOUNDER WITH TOMATO-BASIL BUTTER (serves 4) TOMATO BASIL BUTTER 1 Tbs. olive oil 1-1/2 cups peeled, seeded and chopped tomatoes (about 1 lb.) 2 tsp. minced garlic 1 2 cup sweet butter softened 2 tsp. grated lemon rind 1 2 tsp. salt 1 8 tsp. pepper 1 4 cup minced fresh basil Heat the olive oil in a small skillet. Add the tomatoes and garlic and saute, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes or until the tomatoes form a puree that will mound. Let cool. Put the butter in a mixing bowl and beat in the tomatoes and remaining ingredients. Can be made up to 2 days ahead and refrigerated but best served at room temperature so that it will melt quickly over the fish. FISH 1 2 cup flour 3 4 tsp. salt 1 2 tsp. pepper 3 4 cup dry bread crumbs 3 4 cup grated Parmesan cheese 2 eggs, beaten 1 4 cup butter 1 4 cup olive oil 1 pound flounder fillets . Combine flour, salt & pepper in shallow bowl or pie tin. Mix the crumbs and cheese in another bowl or pie tin. Have the eggs ready in a third shallow dish. Since the fish needs to cook in a single layer, use one very large skillet or 2 slightly smaller ones. Heat the butter and olive oil in the skillet. Dip the fish in the seasoned flour and shake off the excess. Then dip in the egg and let the excess drip off. Finally coat completely with the Parmesan crumbs. Saute the fillets over medium heat for 2 minutes on each side, pat off any excess oil with paper towels and serve at once topped with Tomato-Basil butter. Notes: Fish fillets can be breaded and refrigerated for a couple of hours before cooking but bring to room temperature first. If you have any leftover Tomato-Basil Butter, it�s good on cooked green beans or grilled shrimp.

Broiled Mahi Mahi with Remoulade Glaze Ingredients: 1 lb Mahi Mahi filet (Plan for about 1/3 lb per person.) 2 Tbsp Remoulade sauce (see below) Preheat oven to 425 deg F on broil setting Cut fish into serving portions by slicing through fish, but not through skin. Place on baking pan and slather liberally with the remoulade sauce. Place under broiler, cook for about 10 minutes.

Lite soy sauce 1/4 tsp. toasted sesame oil 1/2 lb. fresh tuna steak, 3/4" thick 1 cup sushi rice, raw 2 cups water 4 large cucumbers Tuna: Mix first 4 ingredients in a metallic bowl. Add tuna and turn to coat tuna with marinade. Cover and refrigerate 4 hours, turning tuna occasionally. To cook tuna, preheat grill on high, oil the grill. Remove tuna from marinade place on grill, cook about 2 minutes. Turn tuna over and cook 1-2 minutes on this side. The goal is to have a rare piece of tuna with a good browning. Remove tuna from grill and chill. Cucumber: Peel cucumbers and hollow out the centers, removing the seeds so you have a cylinder. Rice: In a sauce pan, bring water to a boil; add rice, stir, cover and remove from heat. Don't open cover for 25 minutes. Cool rice. Assembly: Fill cucumber cylinders with sticky rice, packing rice tightly. Slice cucumber cylinders into 1/2" slices, arrange slices on serving platter. With a very sharp, thin knife slice the tuna into thin slice. Arrange tuna slices on top of cucumbers. Serve. Makes about 24 hors d'oeurves. o RE: Cookalong #49 ---- FISH!!!!!! clip this post email this post what is this? see most clipped and recent clippings Posted by foodonastump (My Page) on Fri, Jun 8, 12 at 18:25 Tricia - I agree with your differentiation between fish and "seafood", on a colloquial level anyway, but I don't see any recipes here that aren't fish. Offhand I see two that include shellfish, but there's fish in there! I love the following recipe. I've made it a few times and posted it on WFD a while back. Red Snapper en Papillote Recipe courtesy Alton Brown Ingredients 1 cup couscous 1 (2-pound) whole red snapper, cleaned, head on 2 teaspoons salt, plus pinch for couscous 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1 small bunch fresh oregano 1 small bunch fresh parsley 1 whole lemon, thinly sliced 1 cup thinly sliced red onion 2 teaspoons minced garlic 1 cup halved grape tomatoes 1 cup drained and quartered artichoke hearts 1/2 cup white wine 1 tablespoon butter Directions Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Rinse couscous in fine mesh strainer, under cold water, lay out on parchment lined baking sheet and sprinkle with pinch of salt. Set aside. Cut parchment paper into 15 by 48-inch sheet. Fold in 1/2 and lay on baking/cookie sheet. Unfold and lay snapper diagonally on sheet pan on top of 1 layer of parchment. Salt and pepper fish, inside and out. Place herbs inside cavity of fish along with 1/2 of lemon, and 1/2 of red onion. Arrange couscous next to fish on all sides. Put garlic, and remaining lemon and red onion on fish and lay tomatoes and artichoke hearts around outside of couscous, creating somewhat of a wall. Pour wine over fish and dot with butter. Fold over edges of parchment paper, stapling if necessary, to create and almost airtight seal. Bake in oven for 30 minutes. Carefully open and serve (be aware of bones in the fish). o RE: Cookalong #49 ---- FISH!!!!!! clip this post email this post what is this? see most clipped and recent clippings Posted by Bumblebeez (My Page) on Fri, Jun 8, 12 at 20:46 I made Ruthanna's PARMESAN FRIED FLOUNDER WITH TOMATO-BASIL BUTTER tonight and it was wonderful! As I am incapable of not changing a recipe outside of fluffy cakes, I did make a few changes but nothing inherent to the core recipe. I used defrosted tilapia, and for the tomato butter, cut the butter ingredient in half while doubling the garlic. The other ingredients stayed the same but the fish was fried so didn't want to gild the lily. Already more calories than I normally make for dinner but it was so good! And I used panko for the dried bread crumbs.

Sally o RE: Cookalong #49 ---- FISH!!!!!! clip this post email this post what is this? see most clipped and recent clippings Posted by paprikash (My Page) on Sat, Jun 9, 12 at 10:14 Here's a couple of great recipes for those cans of tuna fish that may be in your pantry. I think I may have posted them before but they are definitely worth consideration. Mediterranean Tuna Casserole Recipe By : Cooking Enthusiast Catalog Serving Size : 4 Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 6 ounces egg noodles -- cooked al dente 3 tablespoons butter 1/2 red pepper -- diced 1 clove garlic -- peeled and minced 4 ounces baby portobella mushrooms -- sliced 1 7 oz can artichoke hearts -- drained and chopped 2 tablespoons flour 1 cup milk 1 cup heavy cream 2 4 oz cans bonito del norte tuna -- drained 3/4 cup parmesan cheese -- shredded 3 scallions -- thinly sliced 1/2 cup crispy onions 1/4 cup Italian style panko breadcrumbs Melt butter in large saucepot over medium heat. Add red peppers and cook until soft, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant. Add mushrooms and cook until soft, about 4-6 minutes. Stir in artichoke hearts and flour. Cook for 2 minutes. Stir in milk and heavy cream and cook until sauce thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon, about 12-15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and remove from heat. In large bowl, combine the egg noodles, tuna, scallions, 1/2 cup parmesan cheese and sauce mixture. Grease a 10" round casserole, add noodle mixture and top with crispy onions, remaining 1/4 cup parmesan cheese and panko breadcrumbs. Bake in a 400* oven for 20 minutes or until bubbly and golden brown. MY NOTES : I probably used closer to 8 oz of baby portobellas and I used regular panko crumbs. I used the canned French's onion rings (Cooking Enthusiast sells their "crispy onions" but I've never bought them). The French's onion rings were starting to burn after 15 minutes so don't top with them until the last 8 to 10 minutes or leave them off. I do buy my tuna fish from Cooking Enthusiast -- it's packed in olive oil and wonderful but I am sure regular tuna fish packed in olive oil will work fine, too. ---------------------------- This is a Marcella Hazan recipe which is one of our favorites: Pasta with Tuna and Tomato Sauce 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 clove garlic -- finely chopped 14 1/2 ounces diced tomatoes 6 ounces Italian tuna fish in olive oil 2 tablespoons butter 2 tablespoons fresh parsley -- chopped salt and pepper 8 ounces penne pasta (boiled for about 10 minutes) Saute the garlic in the olive oil until it turns pale gold. Add the canned tomatoes with their juice, stir, and simmer steadily for around 20 minutes. Drain the tuna and flake it into the tomatoes, stirring to distribute it evenly. No need to cook it - just warm it through. Taste for seasoning and correct for salt if necessary. Add a little freshly ground black pepper, the butter and the parsley, and mix again. Toss with the pasta in the skillet. Makes 2 servings. (My only change is the diced tomatoes -- I buy them with garlic, basil and oregano already added. Also, DH is a big eater but this serves 3 not 2) o RE: Cookalong #49 ---- FISH!!!!!! clip this post email this post what is this? see most clipped and recent clippings Posted by jessyf (My Page) on Sun, Jun 10, 12 at 19:31 My son and I LOVE this salmon bisque -might be a good way to use tomatoes once they start coming out of our ears!

Grilled Tuna Steaks (source: Martha Stewart.com) Look for moist, translucent tuna that's shiny pink or red; avoid fish with any hint of browning. Martha Stewart Living, July 2004 Yield Serves 4 Ingredients 4 one-inch-thick tuna steaks, (about 4 ounces each) Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for grill Zest and juice of 1 lemon 6 anchovy fillets, cut into thirds 1 medium clove garlic, finely chopped 1 tablespoon coarsely chopped fresh oregano 1 tablespoon coarsely chopped fresh basil Directions Preheat a ridged stovetop grill pan or outdoor grill. Season tuna with salt and pepper. Brush grill pan or grill with oil. Grill tuna until well browned but still rare, about 2 minutes per side; the flesh will be firm and tight. For medium rare, cook 1 minute more, until the flesh begins to pull apart. For medium, cook 2 minutes more, until the flesh flakes apart. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine lemon zest and juice, anchovies, oil, and garlic. Bring to boil over medium heat, remove from heat, and stir in oregano and basil. Serve immediately with sauce spooned over tuna. o RE: Cookalong #49 ---- FISH!!!!!! clip this post email this post what is this? see most clipped and recent clippings Posted by iris_gal (My Page) on Wed, Jun 13, 12 at 20:55 Trout Amandine (Brennan's) 4 - 6 trout 4 oz. butter 1/3 c. slivered almonds juice of 2 lemons 2 T.
