The Recipe Thread! Part II: Electric Mixaroo

^ That does sound yummy!

And yes, Haloumi is only nominally cheese... it is a bit different from most cheeses in its properties. In my limited knowledge, I'd place it somewhere between (authentic, southern-European) Mozzarella and Feta.
 
Very easy fruit salad i ate lots of in Thailand:

Pomello (if you can't source in your country, try grapefruit, but don't add as much)
Fresh Pineapple
Lychees
Mango

Drizzle with a mixture of natural yoghurt, lime juice and a TINY amount of cayenne pepper.

OMNOMNOM
 
^Ohhhh looks and sounds yummy!!

'Posa- I love shellfish- Shrimp is delish.
Something super super simple- If you don't feel like messing with anything is getting some Pico de Gallo and mixing it with Shrimp and the juice of one lime- Cut an avocado in half and to pit (And on the side) w/ the Shrimp and Pico and eat with Flax Black Corn Chips.
AMAZING.
I could eat that all day.....................................with a mojito ;)

Shrimp Creole is tasty and Shrimp with pasta and a cheese sauce is good.............
Shrimp Cocktail or Shrimp Stirfry <3 Now I want Shrimp! :D
 
Mushroom Stroganoff

can be made vegan!


4 Large Portobello Mushrooms ( sliced)
1 package white button mushrooms (sliced)
1 package shittaki mushrooms(sliced)
1 Onion
3 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon dried basil
1 Sweet Pepper ( yellow,orange or red - i use orange)
1 package sour cream
1/2 cup wine red,white or sherry depends on your tastes.
4 Tablespoons butter
salt/pepper to taste

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

you need a big pan for this. the mushrooms have to cook evenly and it's a large amount of food.

Over low heat cook onions,peppers and garlic until tender.
Add all sliced mushrooms except the portabello's also add basil.

Cover and simmer however long is up to you this dish can take being simmered from 15 min or 1 hour as long as you do not add the portabellos. I simmered for about 40 minutes.

If mix gets a little dry add a touch of veggie broth.
Add portabellos and cook until they are just tender and done, add sour cream and mix well.

Simmer for about 15 min, add wine and simmer for about 10 more min.
Serve over rice, or noodles. I use egg noodles. Serves 4 hungry people with about 2 servings left over for later.


It is important to note that the smaller mushrooms need to be cooked long enough to break down a little as they form the bulk of the sauce, portabellos which are added later are a very "meaty" mushroom and give that great body. To make this vegan use tofutti better than sour cream, and earth balance spread instead of butter.
 
Hummus Pizza

vegan!

1 store bought pizza crust (pita bread can also be used)
1 container (about 1.5cups) hummus
1 jar of roasted red peppers
2 medium sized onions (any colour)
2 TB balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons rosemary (crushed)


1. sweat onions with balsamic vinegar + rosemary until caramelized (about 15 minutes)
2. preheat oven to 425F
3. spread hummus evenly over pizza crust, add caramelized onions and roasted red peppers in any fancy design you prefer
4. stick in oven for 10-12 minutes or until crust is crispy

well reviewed add ins are:

sundried tomatoes and artichokes, as well as mushrooms and feta cheese.


this is super easy, super cheap (8$ or so), quick, it's awesome.

Teehee! This whole post had me picturing you with your bottom lip out, talking all day about Shrimp, Bubba (from Forrest Gump) styles. We call them prawns in Australia!

<3 :D
 
Oh man, I scrolled up and saw those little goat cheese appetizers I made and they look so tasty. :D

The bacon covered chocolate would prob be pretty good!

Not sure if I have posted this and atm I'm being lazy but I made a few times, and it was delish-Stuffed Sea Scallops..........

I took figs, sliced then in half
I took Sea Scallops (not the bay scallops or you'd be there all day suffering through the nonsense) and cut them into little pac man shapes.
I then took little chunks of Gorgonzola cheese and stuffed that into the figs, then stuffed the scallops with the stuffed figs.
I wrapped the scallops with bacon (open slice being covered with the bacon)
Stuck a toothpick in to hold the bacon and broiled until done.

I then took a good scoop of raspberry jam I had made, with maybe a bit of water and heated it in a skillet until it was kinda liquidy but warm.
I then poured it over the scallops and it was to die for.


Edit: It appears I did post this before but here it is reposted.....and it also appears I used red wine and gave the option of water in my last posting of it :)
 
Yeah thanks Slain, I'll be sure to add it to the main menu :|

However, if you add some melted cheese to the mix -> Cheese + toast = Win
 
were you high? then again i eat some weird combos of food, like potato chips on meat ball subs.
