What would you do with the world's largest turnip?
Comments (11)It's white with purple shoulders, so probably a turnip. For some reason, my parents never grew them, so turnips are a new food for me. That what I love about the community supported agriculture: it sometimes forces me to try new things. We love turnip greens, so it's time to get acquainted with the rest of the plant. I needed a pot roast anyway, and now the turnip is forcing my hand....See MoreWhat do you do with left-over ham?
Comments (29)I wrote this recipe for a contest I'm in; once you get past the paleness of the pork meatloaf compared to a beef, you'll be surprised at how tasty it is. I always bake a ham with 2 cups of leftovers in mind for this! ps: you can use all potatoes in the topping if you prefer Butternut Gold-Crowned Pork Meatloaf Meatloaf: 1/3 cup finely minced shallots or onions 2 eggs, slightly beaten 1 ( 8 oz.) can crushed pineapple (do not drain) 2 cups fine soft bread crumbs (about 4 to 5 slices white bread in food processor) 2 cups leftover baked ham, minced in food processor 1 pound ground pork Butternut Gold topping: 1 pound Butternut squash, peeled and cut into 1" chunks (about 3 cups) 1 pound Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1" chunks (about 3 cups) 4 Tablespoons softened butter 1/4 to 1/2 cup warmed Half & Half (approximately) Preheat oven to 375º. Spray an 8" or 9" baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. In a large bowl, combine meatloaf ingredients, along with pepper to taste and mix to blend thoroughly. Press into prepared pan and bake for 40 minutes, or until thermometer inserted in center of loaf reaches 165º. While meatloaf is baking, prepare topping. Place squash and potato chunks in a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain into a colander, then use a ricer to rice chunks back into cooking pot. Add butter, enough warm Half & Half for desired consistency, and salt and pepper to taste; mash until smooth. Cover and keep warm. When meatloaf is done, remove from oven and set broiler to heat. Blot meatloaf top lightly with paper towel to absorb any liquid, and cover with squash/potato topping. Place crowned meatloaf close to broiler and broil until very lightly browned. Makes 6 servings....See MoreHave You Used Your Leftovers To Make Something Else?
Comments (11)I always make planned-overs, and they are usually different from the first meal. Easter's left-over roast lamb was eaten the second night just as the first, because it really was just that darned good, LOL. But now the rest is divided up into freezer dishes - one for lamb curry with couscous and vegetables, one for shepherd's pie, and one small one for pita sandwiches. That one is for tomorrow's lunch. It will probably be 2 or 3 weeks before we have the other lamb dishes. I think it's silly to heat up the oven for any kind of a meal without making enough for more than one. It just requires a bit of creativity and planning. I absolutely hate when I hear someone saying "Oh, we NEVER eat leftovers!" More stupid they!...See MoreWhat do you folks do with leftover cooking oil?
Comments (23)Artemis, kind of off topic, but I have to admit I have no idea what 'pakoras' is, so I googled it yesterday. Found there are a gazillion (or so it seems) different definitions and/or recipes. Would you please share your recipe? It sounds like something I would like to try, but I have no idea where to start. Thank you! Rusty...See More- 6 years ago
