You'll want to serve this dish immediately after it's cooked over haricot verts with a truffle Madeira sauce.

CHA SIU BAO - STEAMED BBQ PORK BUNS by Linda Tay Esposito

The char siu bao is a dimsum staple. Sweet, juicy bits of Chinese bbq pork oozing out of the soft, sweet bun. The secret to creating that char siu bao taste is to use dried onions (McCormicks). Please look up the Basic Yeast Dough for Steamed Buns that accompanies this recipe. If you don't have steamer baskets, use a wok…

Cauliflower & Potatoes ~ Indian style by Amos Miller

I have never been a really big fan of cauliflower, but I love potatoes and spices. This dish, known as 'Alu Ghobi', has long been a favorite vegetable side dish in my kitchen. It is simple, easy to make and very healthy for you. One seldom finds a cauliflower dish on the average restaurant menu. But you need not be a…

Roasted pig's snouts and ears by Arturo Féliz-Camilo

I know this will be literally “hard to swallow” for many! LOL! But staying true to the site theme (Traditional Dominican food) Believe me when I say that even though I myself have a bit of a hard time eating it, the taste is great! This is one of the most popular and favored street foods. In the street it is generally fried instead…

Crockpot Italian Beef for Sandwiches by myra byanka

Use rump or brisket (my fave) to make fork-tender beef for hoagies or homemade rolls (see links).

Smoked Brisket Tamales by myra byanka

Had some extra brisket, so came up with this recipe, which is good for brisket fans or for people who don't like spicy Mexican food, but might like tamales. I use a smoke/bake method of doing brisket. It always comes out perfect. When I have smoked the brisket for 5 hours or so, I finish it in the oven @ 250 for 5-8 hours. I find…

Bavarian Apple Torte by Salad Foodie

There are gazillions of recipes on the Internet for Bavarian apple cheese cake or torte, but most are sweeter than typical German pastries. I prefer this recipe posted several years ago by a lady from Germany as it makes me think I'm eating authentic German torte. It is certainly sweet, but not overly so, and not rich and heavy with…

Smoked Sirloin Tip Roast by Patti Fisher

Slow Smoked Sirloin Tip Roast, tender, juicy and melt in your mouth good. We were wanting BIG MEAT for our Date Night Dinner so we went shopping. Patti and I looked at steaks, short ribs and then we saw this 5 ½ pound Sirloin Tip Roast. We smoked it for an hour in Green Mountain Grill’s Gourmet Blend Pellet Blend then, put a little…

Substitute Buttermilk for Sweet Milk in Baked Goods by Salad Foodie

I love what buttermilk imparts to the texture and flavor of cakes and quick breads, so a pint of buttermilk is a baking staple in my refrigerator. When recipes call for milk and I want to replace that with buttermilk, I use the formula below. Of course you can reverse it and replace buttermilk with regular. Just remember to adjust…

Lemon Pastry Squares (a.k.a Lemon Brownies) - a new take on Lemon Bars! by Salad Foodie

This recipe has been circulating around the Internet as “Lemon Brownies”, but I think it deserves a more descriptive name. These treats are a delicacy and are more “dainty” than brownies. They have no chocolate, are not brown, and NOT as sweet nor…

Chili Sauce by Salad Foodie

Chili sauce is one answer to that bumper tomato harvest. The perky piquant sauce can compliment many classic recipes like meatballs, meatloaf, cutlets, chops, tenders, eggs, potatoes, etc. This recipe is from Ball Blue Book of Canning (2010) and is what I’d deem a standard chili sauce for a wide variety of family uses. It is not…
