APS QUICKIE Recipe Thread!

[jamz]

Heck, we've been up for almost a whole day or so now, so it's time for an APS recipe thread!  Post your QUICK recipies! ( 20 minutes or less)

Can be anything, any meal, snack, appetizer, or whatever.  Here's mine:

Broccoli walnut stir fry

Make rice (water, rice).
Heat up 2-3 TBSP sesame oil in a big pan
Chop up 1 cup of walnuts pretty fine and toss 'em in the hot oil.
Add some fresh ground pepper too.
Chop up a head or two of broccoli while the walnuts are cooking ( 3-4 minutes)
When the walnuts start turning brown, toss in the chopped broccoli.
Toss in a tablespoon or so of water, cover, cook on low. ( 2 minutes or so, then turn off heat. Stir a little.)
Now chop up a red pepper.

If you've timed it right, the broccoli/walnut stuff is done at the same time (or a little before) the rice.  Put rice in bowl, put broccoli/walnut on rice, top with chopped raw red pepper.  Voila!



Love, James

Fresh ground sirloin
Fresh whole garlic
Sweet onions
Green or red pepper
Ragu Traditional and Hunts
Food processor

Mix 2 large jars of Ragu Traditional with 2 cans Hunts tomato puree and
bring to slow simmer.

Peel garlic cloves, grind, and collect the juices with the food procesor.

Mince some sweet onions and add to the garlic juice.

Pour this mixture into a bowl of ground sirloin, stir around and make meat balls.

Toss meat balls into sauce and let slow simmer for about 1 hour. Then dice some green or red peppers (or both), add to the sauce, and continue to cook for an additional 1/2 hour.

Pour over spagetti or make meat ball subs.

A lot of cooks like adding oregeno, but I never got much flavor from it.

Brown some ground beef.  Drain it.  Pour in some BBQ sauce and mix it up.  Put on soft rolls for sammiches.  About 5-10 minutes.  BBQ Sloppy Joes...kinda.

[spacemanspiff]

okay this one takes about 30-45 minutes....

take boneless/skinless chicken or pork, thawed, dip in whisked egg, coat with breadcrumbs. toss in oven at 375 degrees, bake until done.

cook a pot of rice, when rice is done, mix in some canned or fresh veggies of your choice (peas, carrots, mushrooms, etc) or a can of cream of mushroom soup.

throw a bunch of broccoli in steam cooker.


an alternative to the rice is mashed potatoes. try putting a can of coconut milk in once its cooked up. a nice different flavor.

Here's another:

Does anyone like smokin' their foods? Chef Williams Grillin' Kit is very good. You get honey bacon BBQ, creole garlic (my fave), and lemon butter garlic. I tried creole garlic on a 3 lb pork tendrloin ... My God! it was delicious. The lemon butter might be tastiest with fish.

[Kharn]

20 minutes or under is pushing it for any recipe that takes longer than about four lines to write down.  My favorite recipe to make in that amount of time requires three or four burners going at once and a lot of practice to get it done in 20 minutes, but here it is anyway.  (Note: I almost always make this as a half-recipe and it still makes two huge servings, or three-four normal person servings.  A full recipe would definitely feed a family.)

Chicken with Pasta Carbonara:
1-2 lb of chicken (Depends on if you want a chicken dish or a pasta dish.  Any cut of white meat is fine, I'm lazy and usually buy the "chicken for stew" package they have at the deli, already cut into little skinless chunks)
1 lb of bacon cut into 1-2 inch strips (use the kitchen shears if SWMBO isn't looking.  I've been cooking in various women's kitchens for years and have never found a use for kitchen shears that doesn't get me yelled at.  Apparently they are purely decorative, and so much as lifting them out of the cutting block will dull the edge.  Also, don't get the low sodium stuff.  This is not a health food recipe.)
1 lb of pasta (whatever you like, I use regular spaghetti)
2 cups cheese (A good parmesan or romano is preffered, mozarella or an italian blend is fine too)
3 eggs
1 medium sized onion, chopped (I usually use white or yellow)
Butter
Milk
Parsley or chives (Or anything green really.  No one ever notices.  I like fresh basil or chives, personally, but the person who taught me the recipe says parsley.)
Pepper
Salt
Garlic salt

1) Start boiling the water immediately--salt the water if it makes you happy.  Put the bacon in a pan on low heat.  You're aiming for the bacon to be done at the same time as your pasta, so keep that in mind when you pick the heat.
2) Cover the chicken in garlic salt and the green spice of your choice and toss in a frying pan with a little butter.  I use medium heat.  When the chicken's done, you can set it aside, it doesn't come into play until the very end.  Also, if you can only have two burners going at once, the chicken is a good thing to make ahead of time.
3) Sautee the onion in a little bit of butter or olive oil if you like.  Low heat, salt, pepper.  It's done when it looks tasty.  This is also a good one to do ahead of time if you can only have two burners going at once.  I like em yellow, a lot of people like them lightly browned.
4) The water should be boiling by now, so toss in the pasta.  It's a little early to flip the bacon, but if you like to keep your hands busy, go for it.
5) In a small bowl, beat the three eggs and put in a little bit of milk.  Dump a lot of the green spice of your choice in, a bit of pepper, and maybe some salt if you think the recipe needs it (although, with the garlic salt on the chicken and the bacon, it usually doesn't.)
6) At this point, the chicken's been done, the bacon's flipped and on its way to done, and you're really just waiting for the pasta to boil.  Now's a good time to pour yourself a drink.  You've earned it.
7) Once the bacon's done, go ahead and pour *almost* all of the grease out.  Remember when I said this was not a health food recipe?  As for the bacon itself, take it out, dry it, crumble it, or leave it be, whatever makes you happy.
8) People like to do all kinds of crazy things to pasta after they drain it.  Don't do any of them.  If you poured cold water on the noodles you have just ruined the dish, in which case it's time to pour another drink and call up Domino's.  At least you can save money by getting a cheese pizza and putting the bacon and chicken you just cooked on it.  Idiot.
9) Dump the drained pasta into your serving dish, or if you're not fancy like that, the pot you cooked it in.  Remember that bacon grease?  Dump it in next, with the bacon itself--you want a thin glossy coating on your noodles, but not so much grease that there's a puddle of it at the bottom.  Stir.
10) Dump in the chicken and stir.
11) Dump in the onions and stir.
12) Dump in the egg mix and stir.
13) Dump in the cheese and stir.

If you did everything right, the heat of the pasta and grease is enough to cook the egg mixture and melt the cheese.  The end result should be a weird kind of goopy clearish-white sauce that is very tasty.  If you didn't do everything right, or if the chicken cooled down or something like that, go ahead and plate it anyway.  Get everyone out of the kitchen and turn on some dinner music louder than it should be.  Pop the plates in the microwave for about thirty seconds, and if the music is loud enough, no one will ever be the wiser.

Pour another drink, enjoy your dinner, and don't plan on making it any further than the couch tonight.

[Jamisjockey]

What if its got a quick prep time and a long cook time?
1 pack drumsticks
1 pack thighs
couple bottles of your choice of BBQ sauce
couple carrots, sliced
1 onion, sliced diced or however you wanna cuter up
'bout 6-10 red 'taters, cut into 1/2" pieces

Dump it all into the crock pot.  Cover with BBQ sauce.  Mix so that there's no air pockets.  Cook 4-6 hours on high.

*All ingredients, amounts, and methods are variable depending on the whim of the cook.*

Onion (White, yellow, red, doesn't matter. Sliced, chopped, whatever. Half, one, seven, as many as you like. Preferably peeled. . .)

Fat (butter, bacon grease, other rendered animal fat, olive oil, peanut oil, castor oil, mink oil. . .)

Tomato product (I like dried tomatoes, peeled. You could use tomatoe sauce, tomato paste, fresh/canned, crused/chopped. . .)

Pasta, preferably cooked (I like a linguni, personaly. Any pasta will do; longer is better IMO.)

Salt, or salt product (Onion salt, garlic salt, kosher salt, seasoned salt, sea salt, epsom salt, salt peter, double salts. . .)

Garlic, preferably peeled (minced, grated, chopped, pure-ayed, roasted, toasted, or flom-bayed. . .)

Meat (I like chicken breast, sliced strip-wise. You could use beef, pork, buffalo, beefalo, venison, veal, emu, squirrel, or a clubbed baby seal. . .)

Acid (I like lemon juice.)

Water, or savory water by-product.

Obtain skillet (or other flame-resistant cooking apparati. Pot, pan, wok. . .) Heat skillet to a reasonable degree. Add fat. Melt fat, if solid fat is used. Add onion and salt. (maybe a little water at this point,) Saw-tay to desired doneness (preferably more than raw, less than carbon.) Add tomatoes and garlic. Cook more. Remove from skillet, and reserve. Add more fat to skillet, and cook meat to desired doneness. Add onions and tomatoes back to meat. Cook more, to desired consistency. (I like it thick and oily.) Add acid to taste. Toss with pasta, serve.

Hrmm.... hot dogs go from the refrigerator to the toaster oven on the dark toast setting, that usually gets'em perfect.

Pasta? a tablespoon or so of oil and one of salt in a "big pot" of water, bring to boil, toss in spaghetti, turn off, walk away for ten minutes... I'll usually have Prego italian sausage and garlic sauce or maybe white clam sauce, can't remember the brand but kroger has it in a can. I'll throw in half a can of whole pitted black olives if I'm feeling frisky.

Breakfast? I don't do this so much anymore but I'll crack a couple eggs into a muffin tin and whirl'em a bit, then toss a couple frozen sausage patties in another cup of the tin, throw them in the oven and turn it on 350. Usually by the time I'm out of the shower they're done perfectly and go great on a toasted english muffin with cheese.

Lately breakfast is a quaker's multigrain "cinnamon toast" flavored rice cake slathered with peanut butter and a dollop of "preserves of choice" on top. I don't know what it is, but that's filling enough to stand on it's own until lunchtime.

Cheap chicken soup with a rinsed can of kidney beans does well.

I've had great luck defrosting chicken by putting it in a bowl of brine/seasonings and nuking it, then letting it sit for ~5 minutes until the chicken's thawed throughout. Makes it killer tender.

McCormick chili seasoning packets are pretty good, can o'beans, can o' diced tomatoes, a pound of browned meat, viola, passable chili(beans). "miracle maize" made cornbread is REALLY good with this.

What else... everything else is a boxed meal or something out of a bag in the freezer... nuked != cooked.

Ah, lentils and split peas... they aren't "quick" but they're the kind of food you can start and walk away from. 1:4 ratio dried goods to water, boil for thirty, add whatever else (usually a chopped up can of ham and some boullion cubes), and you're done. Some prefer to puree the split peas though. Do that and add a can of mixed vegetables, particularly the kind with big chunks and celery, and that's darned good soup.
