Easy, healthy and tasty: Share your favorites

Posted: 27 Oct 2013 02:57 AM PDT

Through comments and requests on my Fountain Avenue Kitchen blog and Facebook page, I am developing a pretty good sense of what type of recipes people like to see… and are willing to cook. Ideally, the recipes should be easy to prepare, mostly healthy and, of course, taste great.

Seasonal ingredients never seem to lose their appeal; beets and pumpkin are current crowd-pleasers. Quinoa consistently sparks an interest, and gluten-free recipes are increasingly in demand.

People often comment that they are hesitant to cook seafood and would like more simple fish recipes. And there is always room for a make-ahead breakfast item that allows for a wholesome breakfast on the go.

Recently, I asked my online readers, "What types of recipes would you like to see more?" The most frequent reply was quite general: simple dinner recipes.

In my mind, this includes recipes with a short list of ingredients that can be assembled in minutes. It may also include slow-cooker or make-ahead meals.

While I keep adding to my personal arsenal of recipes that I will continue to share, all of us at the Sunday News would love to hear from YOU. I know many of you are sitting on your own stockpiles of tried-and-true recipes and helpful tips that make day-to-day dinners doable.

When readers, on occasion, email me one of their recipe box favorites, I cook it and delight in the backstory that is often included.

So, we want to hear from you. These recipes will be the basis for a future column. Who knows how many harried parents and bored home cooks we can inspire? And I bet you will even inspire me.

A recipe may be your own creation or one that was discovered through a friend or favorite cookbook. (Simply credit any published sources.) It could be a one-pot soup, a hearty salad or even breakfast for dinner.

The following recipe is a busy night favorite in our house. The three-ingredient topping can be mixed up in a minute and the actual bake time is brief.

Although I have traditionally made the topping with olive oil, more recently I have used avocado oil. A relative newcomer to grocery store aisles, this heart-healthy oil boasts a mild yet appealing flavor, a smoke point of 500 degrees, and may be used just like olive oil.

CRISPY PARMESAN FLOUNDER

4 flounder fillets (about 1 1/2 pounds; may substitute tilapia, cod or your favorite white, flaky fish)

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 cup panko or crushed Rice Chex (see notes)

3 tablespoons olive or avocado oil

Freshly ground pepper and sea or kosher salt

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Grease a baking sheet that has sides.

Place the fish on the baking sheet and sprinkle with pepper. I do not salt at this point, but you may if you wish.

In a small bowl, thoroughly combine the panko or crushed Chex, Parmesan and oil. Distribute the mixture evenly over the fish fillets, patting down lightly.

Bake until the fish is just cooked through and golden on top. Depending on the thickness of the fish, this should take about 15 minutes. If you are not sure, remove from the oven a few minutes early and cut into the thickest part. You want to see that the fish is opaque throughout. If the center is still translucent, return to the oven for a couple more minutes and check again. The fish will continue to cook once removed from the oven so just a hint of translucence in the center is OK.

If desired, sprinkle lightly with sea or kosher salt and enjoy.

Notes: As I have mentioned in the past, crushed Rice Chex is a worthy gluten-free option to panko. You may wish to try it even if you can eat gluten. Three cups whole Chex yields about 1 cup crushed.

During last June's "Summer Salad Challenge," I received the following salad dressing recipe from Nancy, a faithful reader. It was Nancy's husband who first announced that I simply must try this dressing.

Though the recipe was not included in the paper at the time, I thought it appropriate to share now as my family has been enjoying it on a favorite fall salad quite often in recent weeks. A batch prepared over the weekend expedites many welcome salads in the weeks ahead.

Nancy reported that the recipe is originally from "Lancaster Entertains," a cookbook published by the Lancaster Medical Society Auxiliary more than 50 years ago. It is credited to Evelyn Jones, a friend of Nancy's mother.

Nancy always keeps a jar in her fridge, using it as her go-to salad dressing.

When I asked Nancy what sort of salads she uses this special dressing on, she replied quite simply: "Everything!"

I find the dressing well suited for a basic spinach and strawberry salad and almost anything with fruit, nuts and cheese. The slight sweetness is also a welcome contrast to bitter greens and vegetables such as broccoli and radishes.

AUTUMN SALAD WITH NANCY'S SWEET AND TANGY DRESSING

Feel free to use the salad recipe as a framework, altering the proportions as desired. You may also substitute an apple for the pear or your favorite nuts for the seeds, depending on what you have on hand. I like an extra hearty sprinkle of salted sunflower seeds.

Dressing Ingredients:

3/4 cup sugar

? cup vinegar (I use apple cider vinegar; plain white vinegar may be used)

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon dry mustard

1 teaspoon celery seed

1/4 cup chopped onion

1 cup salad oil

Autumn Salad:

6 ounces baby spinach or mixed greens of choice

1 pear, cored and chopped

1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese

1/3 cup dried cranberries

1/3 cup roasted sunflower seeds and/or pepitas (pumpkin seeds)

Mix all the dressing ingredients in blender until thick and well blended, about a minute.

Store in the refrigerator.

Combine the salad ingredients in a large bowl (or plate individually), drizzle with the dressing, and toss to combine.

Notes:

I also mixed a batch with a whisk after mincing the onions.This is a fine option if you do not have a blender.

The dressing will keep for several weeks in the refrigerator. The recipe may be cut in half, if desired.

NEW VIDEO <b>RECIPE</b>: Dijon Chicken Linguine with Crimini <b>...</b>

NEW VIDEO RECIPE: Dijon Chicken Linguine with Crimini Mushrooms and Toasted Almonds
Dijon Chicken Linguine with Crimini Mushrooms and Toasted Almonds
Our video recipe collaboration with CBC Newfoundland and Labrador adds a new entry today with one of the most popular chicken recipes that we've ever had on Rock Recipes. To date it has had very near 600 THOUSAND hits on the website, along with numerous testimonials and rave reviews on our social media outlets. Many people have tried it over the past few years and it is one of those recipes we very often hear that people make over and over again.

The recipe is quite simple and based upon a restaurant dish I had many years ago. While the recipe can quite rightly be considered a "quick and easy" meal, it is also one I have served many times to guests at dinner, whether they are last minute friends dropping over or guests at well planned dinner parties. It really is versatile enough to be served casually or at a dressed up dinner. Fresh pasta, whether you make your own or buy it packaged, is sort of a must here but I won't tell if dry pasta is all you have on hand. If you want a recipe for homemade pasta click here to find it in our recipe for Chicken Parmesan Lasagna.

Tanishaa Mukerji&#39;s Mase Kalvan

Posted: 27 Oct 2013 02:24 AM PDT

My earliest memory of food

Is eating varan bhaat, a typical Maharashtrian staple, which we used to have a lot as kids.

My favourite recipe

My mom's mase kalvan (fish curry); it's absolutely delicious and so perfect that no one can match its taste.

When I have the kitchen to myself, I like cooking

Different kinds of egg preparations, as one can really be experimental and at the same time, you can't really go wrong with eggs!

When I am travelling

I gorge on continental cuisine, like roast chicken, salad and fish.

The best meal I have ever had

Was at Tetsuya's in Sydney, Australia.

My favourite cuisine

Modern Australian and French.

I have a sweet tooth for

Anything with chocolate and mishti doi!

I learned to cook from

My mom and grandmom. I would take down recipes from them on the phone, when I was overseas.

I love to share my meals with

My family. Basically, I love food and people who love food.

My perfect dinner date companion

Is someone who knows how to appreciate the moment.

One country other than India that serves heavenly food

Australia. I really loved the food there during my college days, when I was studying in Sydney. —

METHOD

Wash the fish slices and marinate them in a mixture of tamarind paste, garlic paste, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, coriander powder and salt. Keep them aside for 15 minutes.

Heat oil in a frying pan. Put in the crushed garlic, asafoetida and green chilli. Stir-fry briefly and add the marinated fish.

Mix gently and sprinkle some water on the fish. Cover and cook for about 20 minutes or till the fish is almost cooked.

  Packed lunch broth Packed lunch broth

Packed Lunch Broth (Makes about 1.25 litres, 250ml/serving)

Ingredients

1.25ltr miso stock

½tbsp oyster sauce

1 tbsp fish sauce

1 tbsp light soy sauce

1 spring onion, trimmed and bashed

2 sticks of celery, roughly chopped

1 clove of garlic, peeled and squashed

A 4cm piece of fresh ginger, peeled and roughly chopped

White pepper

Method

Place all the ingredients in a large saucepan and season with a generous pinch of pepper. Bring the ingredients to the boil over a medium heat and then reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Strain the stock through a fine sieve, discarding all of the vegetables.

"Either drink this soothing stock on its own to brighten up any time of day, or take it to work in a flask for lunch and pour it over a selection of finely sliced veggies or cooked meat or prawns.

"Thinly sliced carrots and baby spinach work particularly well with shredded cooked chicken. Just don't take anything too chunky, as it won't warm through in the broth."

  Gok's 10-Minute Noodles Gok's 10-Minute Noodles

10-Minute Noodles (serves 4)

"Here is a recipe that delivers maximum flavour using only long-lasting store-cupboard basics and which will be ready in under half an hour."

Ingredients

2 tbsp rice bran oil or vegetable oil

300g frozen prawns

1 red onion, peeled and roughly sliced into thin wedges

4 cloves of garlic, peeled and finely chopped

3cm piece of fresh ginger, peeled and finely diced

2 fresh red chillies, deseeded and finely sliced (leave in

the seeds if you prefer it hotter)

80g frozen broad beans

80g frozen peas

80g drained water chestnuts, roughly chopped

350g straight-to-wok thick udon noodles

1 tbsp light soy sauce

1 tbsp dark soy sauce

2 tsp fish sauce

Optional: lime juice and sweet chilli sauce, to serve

Method

Heat half of the oil in a wok over a medium to high heat. When hot, add the prawns and fry for two or three minutes, stirring every now and then, until they have defrosted and turned a delicious coral colour (they won't be fully cooked at this point). Tip the prawns onto a plate and wipe your wok clean with kitchen roll.

Heat the remaining oil in the wok over a medium to high heat. Once hot, fry the onion for a minute before adding the garlic, ginger and chillies. Stir-fry for a further minute and then return the half-cooked prawns to the wok. Heat through for one to two minutes and then add the beans and peas. Stir-fry the whole lot for a further two to three minutes until everything is heated through.

Add the remaining ingredients apart from the lime juice and sweet chilli sauce and toss together until well combined. Don't even mess around plating up this dish, just place the wok in the middle of the table with the lime wedges and chilli sauce, if using, alongside and revel in the eating-induced silence that is sure to fall over your friends.

  Mango and Lemon Grass Sorbet Mango and Lemon Grass Sorbet

Ingredients

250ml water

zest of 3 limes

300g caster sugar

5 ripe mangoes, peeled and stoned

Method

Pour the water into a saucepan and add the bashed lemon grass, lime zest and sugar. Bring the mixture to the boil, stirring a couple of times along the way, until all of the caster sugar has dissolved. Turn off the heat and leave the mixture to infuse for at least two hours.

90 years hence vegemite still has the same <b>recipe</b>

Posted: 27 Oct 2013 01:42 AM PDT

90 years hence vegemite still has the same recipeWhen it was first launched, vegemite was a flop with more units being sent back to the factory due to lack of sales. However, things have changed a lot since then.

Jamie Callister's grandfather Cyril Callister was the one who developed Vegemite in 1923.

He says that his granddad would be proud of his recipe if he was to see how well it has done.

He spoke explaining the struggle they went through and said that it wasn't easy enough for them.

Speaking at his Melbourne factory on Thursday he said, "By the end of the year when Vegemite rolled off the production line, it came out and it was instantly and spectacularly a complete and utter dud."

Notwithstanding claimed by American organization Mondelez International, Vegemite's Melbourne industrial facility prepares 25 million containers a year of the dark salty spread.

The mass is sold in Australia and New Zealand.

Mondelez International administering executive of foods Darren O'brien says the organization has learnt from the presentation of the Vegemite Cheesybite mixture.

He added that maximum individuals have returned to the first ever Vegemite. That is the one they adore. He said that they too learnt a smidge about how valuable Australians are for Vegemite.
