Red-Ribbon Roasted Salsa

feistykitty

This recipe originated from a recipe that was supposed to duplicate that of my favorite Mexican restaurant. I've heavily modified the original recipe and like this variation SO much more! It's relatively easy. This makes a medium-hot salsa. I've named it 'Red-Ribbon' because it took second place at my company salsa competition last Cinco de Mayo (lost first in a tie-breaker!).

10 dried chipotle peppers ; 12 roma (plum) tomatoes ; ¼ yellow onion, coarsely chopped ; 2 cloves garlic, or more to taste ; 2 tablespoons white vinegar ; 2 teaspoons salt ; 1 pinch ground black pepper, or to taste (Optional); 1 lime, juiced, or more to taste (Optional)

Fill a saucepan with water, stir in dried chipotle peppers, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until peppers are soft, about 30 minutes. Drain and let cool. When peppers are cool, remove stems, cut open peppers, and remove seeds. Set peppers aside. Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate. Grill tomatoes on hot grate until skin blackens and begins to peel, turning tomatoes often to blacken all sides, about 10 minutes. Set grilled tomatoes aside to cool. Place grilled tomatoes, chipotle peppers, yellow onion, white vinegar, salt, black pepper, and lime juice into a food processor; pulse a few times, then process until almost pureed. Refrigerate until flavors have blended, at least 2 hours to overnight.

MyNutriCounter

If you're looking for a low-fat snack that's easy to make and tastes delicious, then this recipe is perfect for you. We'd recommend using a mandoline to slice the zucchini as you want them as thin as possible to make them nice and crispy. If not, you can use a knife too. You'll know when the chips are ready as they'll start to curl up and harden.

1 zucchini, thinly sliced ; 1 teaspoon honey ; 1 teaspoon mixed herbs

Preheat oven to 225 degrees F (110 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Layer zucchini slices on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with honey and sprinkle with mixed herbs. Bake in the preheated oven, turning regularly, until crispy and golden, about 45 minutes.

Combine lamb, garlic, green onions, chile pepper, peas, salt, pepper, cayenne, and cumin in a bowl. Mix with 2 forks, starting on the surface of the mixture, until ingredients are evenly combined. Wrap in plastic and chill for 3 hours, or up to overnight. Mix rice vinegar, soy sauce, and mint together in a bowl for dipping sauce. Refrigerate until needed. Combine beaten egg and water in a small bowl. Brush the edges of a wonton wrapper with some of the egg wash. Drop 2 to 3 teaspoons of filling in the center. Fold over and press edges together while squeezing out any air bubbles. Continue with remaining wrappers and filling. Let rest for about 10 minutes. Heat butter in a pan over medium heat.

Nargisi kofta is boiled eggs stuffed inside a shell of kheema. This dish is a little time consuming, but makes a fantastic party dish. Your guests will be impressed.

1 ¼ pounds ground lamb ; 1 cup water ; 1 cinnamon stick ; ¼ teaspoon ground turmeric ; salt to taste ; 1 onion, minced ; 1 egg, beaten ; 3 tablespoons chickpea flour ; 1 tablespoon ginger garlic paste ; 3 green chile peppers, minced ; 1 teaspoon ground coriander ; 1 teaspoon garam masala ; ½ teaspoon ground cumin ; ½ teaspoon ground red pepper ; 8 eggs ; oil for deep frying ; 1 teaspoon chaat masala ; ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro ; 8 wedges lime, as garnish

Combine the lamb, water, cinnamon stick, turmeric, and salt in a large skillet over medium heat; cook while breaking the lamb into small pieces until the meat is no longer pink and the liquid has evaporated, about 20 minutes. Set aside until cool enough to handle; remove and discard the cinnamon stick. Mix the cooked lamb, onion, beaten egg, chickpea flour, ginger garlic paste, green chile peppers, coriander, garam masala, cumin, and ground red pepper together in a large bowl until evenly mixed. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes. Place the eggs into a saucepan in a single layer and fill with water to cover the eggs by 1 inch. Cover the saucepan and bring the water to a boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, remove from the heat and let the eggs stand in the hot water for 15 minutes. Pour out the hot water, then cool the eggs under cold running water in the sink. Peel once cold. Divide the lamb mixture into 8 even portions. Take one portion of meat and flatten the meat in your palm like a cutlet. Put a hard boiled egg in the center and wrap the meat tightly around it. Tie a piece of food-safe string around the wrapped egg. Repeat with the rest of the eggs and meat. Refrigerate the eggs again overnight or 8 hours. Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Fry each kofta in the hot oil until slightly crispy on the outside, 10 to 15 minutes. Cut and remove the string. Halve the koftas lengthwise and sprinkle with chaat masala and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side.

Buckwheat Grissini with Real Butter (Gluten Free)

appetizers-and-snacks

Buckwheat Queen

Crunchy, thin breadsticks made with buckwheat flour and butter to give your appetizers or salads a new twist. Grissini are long, crunchy breadsticks from Torino, usually made with lard or oil. The butter lends a soft interior and a crunchy exterior while bursting with a creamy, buttery flavor. These are perfect for serving with prosciutto, olives, and your favorite cheeses, or just on their own. They are so easy to make. You can make them at the last minute but they also store well, so they can even be made a few days ahead of time. If there are leftovers, do not put them in an airtight container. Wrap them in a cloth or parchment paper for a day or two. The crunchier they are, the better.

⅓ cup buckwheat flour ; ⅓ cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese ; ¼ cup gluten-free all-purpose flour ; 2 tablespoons butter, divided ; 1 tablespoon black sesame seeds ; 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves ; 3 tablespoons water, or more as needed

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Mix buckwheat flour, Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, gluten-free flour, and 1 1/2 tablespoon butter in a bowl with your hands until the mixture resembles small pebbles. Mix in sesame seeds and thyme. Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the mixture pulls together into a soft dough. Divide dough into 6 portions. Let dough rest for 5 minutes. Roll each portion of dough into a long, thin stick about 6 to 7 inches long. Arrange side by side on the baking sheet. Brush remaining 1 1/2 teaspoon butter over dough. Bake in the preheated oven until completely browned, about 20 minutes. Cool completely before serving, about 10 minutes.

Substitute what you like for a sweetener...I've used stevia, aspartame, and agave nectar, all with success. Greek yogurt takes some getting used to -- it's not for everyone!

Heat a saucepan over medium heat; add oil. Stir cranberries into hot oil and cook until cranberries absorb most of oil, 5 to 10 minutes. Mix sugar, water, jalapeno peppers, lemon juice, cilantro, and salt into cranberries; cook until reduced and softened, 10 to 15 more minutes. Add more water if needed. Pulse cranberry mixture in a food processor or blender until very smooth; cool completely. Stir cooled cranberry mixture and cream cheese together in a bowl until smooth and creamy.

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened ; ⅓ cup sour cream ; 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese ; 6 tablespoons pesto ; ¼ cup chopped toasted walnuts

In a medium bowl, blend cream cheese, sour cream and Parmesan cheese. In a small clear glass serving dish, spread 1/3 the cream cheese mixture. Top with 2 tablespoons pesto. Repeat layering, ending with a topping of pesto. Sprinkle with walnuts and serve.

I like to grate & freeze zucchini. Just be sure to drain well before using. Also you can slice & freeze separate slices on a cookie sheet and then put into bags and they won't stick together.

3 zucchini ; 1 large onion ; 1 teaspoon dried oregano ; salt and pepper to taste ; ¼ cup butter

Grate zucchini and onion into a medium bowl, and drain off excess juices. Stir in the oregano and salt and pepper to taste. Heat a frying pan over medium high heat and melt butter in the pan. When butter has coated the pan, arrange the zucchini in a flat layer over the bottom of the pan. Fry until golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Serve warm.
