What is your favorite Zucchini Casserole Recipe?
Q
Comments (7)
I wrote this on another thread a while back, it's not a classic casserole, but it's easy, quick, and very good. It's my Mom's Italian Zucchini Stew... An onion - chopped Zucchini and/or yellow squash - large bite sized diced Potatoes - large bite sized diced A few cloves of garlic crushed whole, chopped roughly Enough tomato sauce or tomatoes to give it the consistency of stew Heat some olive oil in a pot, toss in the garlic to flavor the oil. Before the garlic burns, toss in the tomatoes and/or sauce. Add onions. Let simmer to meld flavors. Toss in potatoes. Wait until they are softening some, then toss in Zucchini. cook until soft. *** and a few deviations from the Mom... Tonight, as it was finishing, I added cannellini beans and Italian green beans. Please don't ask amounts... it's totally up to you. Besides, Mom just says... "some this, some that...". And don't tell Mom about the beans!

Seeking a Copy Cat Lou Malnati's Chicago Deep Dish Pizza Recipe
Q
Comments (13)
@Mike_kaiser_gw. I tried to copy the best of the dude's chowhound info here: Ingredients: Ceresota AP - 95% - 175g Semolina - 5% - 10g Water - 46% - 85g Corn Oil - 19% - 35g Olive Oil- 4% - 7g Salt - less than 1/8 tsp Sugar - 1/4 tsp IDY - 1/4 tsp (Instant Dry Yeast) Tomatoes: I have 3 components to my tomatoes (sauce, crushed, and bigger chunks). The move has been ground breaking. You want to make sure all the water is out before applying to your deep dish though. This will probably require removing the excess "water" liquid 2-3 times. I also lightly season with salt and oregano. The buttery taste comes from corn oil. The correct recipe for authentic Chicago deep dish pizza depends on two factors: lots of Corn oil (3 Tablespoons:1 cup all-purpose flour) and a very short knead (mix 1 minute, knead 2 minutes). Then a long rise (4-6 hours at rom temperature). Use butter flavored Crisco in the pan. Here is the process. I use a bowl, whisk for dry ingredients and a spoon. Mix all dry ingredients minus the yeast. Add oil and mix in halfway with spoon then add in the water. (Helps to achieve flaking in the crust. The flour absorbs the oil instead of all the water and the water steams off in hot oven creating those flakes/layers.) Mix half way again and next sprinkle in the yeast. Mix again with your spoon until it all comes together. Then you need to hand mix it gently for about 1.5-2 mins (I use one hand for this). You want to make sure you get most of the clumps of oil incorporated into the dough. After your done cover and put into oven with the light on for 5 hrs. Add butter flavored crisco to pan. I went all the way up the sides. Place stone on 2nd rack and preheat to 425. Preheat stone for additional 45 mins. Place dough in pan and press it out. I only went 1 inch up side of my 2 inch pan. This is important because the thinner you make it the harder it gets. I believe mine to be the sweet spot as for thickness. Increase temp to 450F and bake for 28 mins. I put foil on top with about 10 to go to prevent cheese burning and removed foil for final 3 mins. Hint: The crust gets better as it cools down. I remove from pan after 5 mins and then wait another 10 mins before I cut it.

What is your most favorite recipe for Christmas?
Q
Comments (46)
I was married for 15 years before my daughter was born. Once I became a mother, I tried to be a "super mom" and do everything I thought a mom should do. That included baking cookies. Odd because I didn't raise her eating a lot of sweets, and she wasn't (and still isn't) big on eating sugar. But, I liked homemade cookies and like everything else I do (all or nothing), I took to it in a BIG way. I had never liked store bought cookies particularly, and when baking, if the recipe called for margarine, instead of butter, then I wouldn't even try the recipe because I felt like their standards didn't measure up to mine. Cookie snob. ;) I baked cookies and if they were really good, I added them to my permanent recipe files. I used to make cookie platters for my friends and neighbors at Christmas. Since I live in a super humid climate, and didn't have central heat, which might have helped take the humidity out of the house....always lived in very old houses...candy recipes could be difficult. But divinity seemed like it belonged at Christmas, but when I made it, it was more apt to be like marshmallow whip. This recipe is a meringue type cookie, but a little bit like divinity. (I said "a little bit"). I got it in one of those Better Homes and Gardens Christmas Cookie magazines that come out this time of year. Somehow or another, I lost the recipe, and I couldn't remember which magazine it was in, and over the years, some of the magazines had been tossed when I cleaned house. I searched for it on line for a long time, and decided I'd finally have to go on line and try to find the magazine, and buy it, but not knowing what year, I still couldn't be sure. One day I searched for it, and it came up! I am sure this is much to do about very little to most people, but I was really happy to find it again. Black Walnut Drops (I find black walnuts at Kroger.) 2 egg whites 2/3 c. sugar 1 c. finely chopped black walnuts 2 tbsp. flour In a small mixer bowl beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar, beating until stiff. Toss the black walnuts with flour; fold into egg whites. Drop the meringue by rounded teaspoons onto prepared cookie sheet. Bake 10 to 12 minutes at 325 degrees until edges start to brown.

What is your favorite beef stew recipe?
Q
Comments (39)
My standard: Chuck roast, cut in large cubes, salted Brown in very hot pan Into pressure cooker with red wine to cover (may be most of a bottle). Optionally also some/all of tomato paste, anchovy paste, beef boullion, onion, garlic, mushrooms, your fav herbs. But just beef and wine works. High pressure 45 min Open cooker (cold water method), pour off and reserve the liquid, leaving enough to just cover. Add veg - carrots, potato, parsnip, rutabaga, turnip, mushrooms, etc. High pressure 15 minutes. Meanwhile, reduce the reserved liquid, add a little more wine, optionally thicken - some like stew soupy, others like it dry. Open cooker, add thickened liquid back, eat. The whole process takes about 1.5 hours.

CHEESE BISCUITS LIKE JIM N NICK'S

A restaurant I go to has these cheese biscuits. The restaurant is Jim n Nicks BBQ. They aren't biscuits at all and should be called cheese muffins.

1 1/2 cups flour
1 cup suger
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
3/4 cup 2% milk
1 egg, beaten
4 tbsp. butter, softened
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp vanilla

Mix ingredients together, pour into greased muffin pan and at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes or until done.

These are fantastic and will make 12 muffins. Serve with butter and enjoy!

I guess there's just not much I can think of that I want to copy! Improve on, yes, but copy, not really. There's a couple places that make a good burger but I like to take the best from all and put together. For instance, one has a better patty but store bun, another has a good bun but doesn't toast it. And so on.

I did enjoy the dry rub ribs at Chili's and decided to try to improve on them, and did. Now I can make good ribs at home quite easily.

Wendy's chili is decent enough for when I have a craving for chili but it's a pretty basic chili recipe IMO but not really something I'd want to duplicate. A good basic chili is easy enough to make anyway.

We had some wonderful Moraccan lentil, black bean soup at Uno's Chicago Grill (in upstate NY) twice. It was offered as 'for a short time' or something like that, so its ingredients aren't on the menu.

While searching for something similar, I found this delightful site. If you are a soup lover, allow yourself a lot of time to browse :-)

I've tried several copycat recipes for KFC coleslaw and finally found one that is pretty close.

KFC COLESLAW

1 head cabbage, finely chopped
1 medium carrot, shredded
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 T pepper
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup buttermilk
1 1/2 T white vinegar
2 1/2 T lemon juice

Be sure the cabbage and carrots are chopped up into very fine pieces about the size of rice kernels. Combine the sugar, salt, pepper, milk, mayonnaise, buttermilk, vinegar and lemon juice and beat until smooth. Add the cabbage and carrots and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
