that's what i was thinking when i found the recipe but they're quite a bit different.
JCs are a lot denser these are quite lite. very crispy crust though and perfect with homemade butter!

i'll be making these again to make pulled pork sandwiches!

1 ripe Avocado
1 crushed clove of garlic
cayenne pepper (to taste, I like it hot)
few dashes of salt

Smash it all up with a fork then...

squeeze in 1/2 a LEMON (hint, not lime :P)
mix it togeather
sprinkle a bit more cayenne on top to make it look sexy.

waalaa! the best Gwak U've ever tasted.

If you want a bit of a change dice up a semi-firm tomato and throw it in after smashing up the avocado.

Emeril here. Going to tell you how to kick up your corn bread. BAM!

Jalapeno Cheese Cornbread Guest Author - Amy McDaniel

It could not be easier to make: no need to separate wet and dry ingredients here. If you use regular cornmeal, use 1 3/4 cup minus 1 1/2 tablespoons of cornmeal and add 1 1/2 tablespoons of baking powder and 3/4 teaspoon salt.

This recipe owes its moist texture to the addition of creamed corn, and it owes its slightly tangy flavor to buttermilk. If you make pan cornbread in a cast-iron skillet, you will get a crust that is deeply golden. Some people prefer the soft middle of the cornbread, though, so in that case make muffins, which will not brown as much.


Recipe

1 3/4 cups self-rising white cornmeal
2 large eggs
1/3 cup canola oil
1 cup buttermilk
1 small can creamed corn
1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
Chopped jalapenos, to taste (I use about 2 tablespoons of canned peppers; fresh may also be used)
1/4 tsp. ground red pepper

Mix all ingredients until combined.
If this batter seems too dry, add a little more buttermilk; if too wet, add a little corn meal.

For muffins: Spray muffin pan, bake at 400 degrees 15 to 20 minutes or until tops are brown.
For pan cornbread: Put 1 tablespoon oil in heavy skillet, preheat skillet in 450 degree oven until it smokes. Pour batter in and bake until the top is browned, 20 t0 25 minutes.


BAM!

Crab dip:

2 cans of crab (50% leg meat is best, but use what you want)
1 stick of cream cheese (I use light)*
3 green onions, finely chopped
2 Tbsp. plain yogurt
2 Tbsp. salsa
1 Tbsp. milk
1/2 a lemon, juiced
1/4 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1/4-1/2 tsp. cayenne
salt & pepper to taste
slivered almonds to sprinkle top with

*Leave the cream cheese out for a few hours before preparation so it will be soft enough to work with!
Preheat oven to 350C. Cream together all ingredients (except for the almonds). Transfer to a heat proof dish, cover with almonds, and bake on middle rack of oven for 10-15 min.

Tomorrow I'm plan on modifying this recipe to stuff mushroom caps with! *drool*

Bacon-wrapped Halibut with Seared Grape Tomato Sauce

(serves 2)

2 halibut filets
some pepper
4-6 strips of bacon
1 pint carton grape tomatoes
3-4 cloves garlic, diced
a couple glugs of good white wine
a few tablespoons olive oil
half a cup (ish) chicken stock
a big handful chopped fresh basil
about a tablespoon of butter

-pat the halibut dry, season with pepper
-lay out 2 strips of bacon horizontally with the ends slightly overlapping, place a halibut filet with one end on top of the strips, and proceed to wrap the bacon around the fish (some bigger filets may need another piece of bacon or 2)
-heat a non-stick pan to about medium-high and place the wrapped filets in it, cooking each side for about 5 minutes (when the bacon is crispy they're done)

-while wrapping the halibut, heat another pan on the highest heat
-once the halibut is in the pan and the other pan is SCREAMING HOT, throw in a glug of olive oil and the grape tomatoes
-sear the tomatoes for about 1 minute, then shake the pan, throw in the garlic and cook for another minute
-throw a couple glugs of white wine in and let it evaporate a bit, about another minute or 2
-add the chicken stock, bring to a bubble, then turn the heat down to medium-high, let simmer 2-3 minutes
-stir in the basil and butter

-by now the fish should be done, so serve it up with rice and ladle the sauce overtop

:love:

2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla

Ma-Po Tofu (made for me last night, but i bought the ingredients and will definitely be making it for myself sometime soon. soooo good)

Sauce:
1/4 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons hot bean paste
2 tablespoons soy sauce
Kosher salt (we used regular salt)
1 pound regular or soft (not silken) tofu, drained and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons corn, peanut or canola oil
1/2 pound ground pork shoulder (preferably 75 percent lean)
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon finely minced garlic
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon finely minced peeled ginger
1 tablespoon cornstarch dissolved in 2 tablespoons water
1 1/2 teaspoons Japanese sesame oil
1/2 to 1 teaspoon toasted sansho powder (omited this ingredient)
3 tablespoons thinly sliced scallions
Accompaniment: steamed rice

To make the sauce: Stir together broth, bean paste, soy sauce, and kosher salt. Set aside.

To poach the tofu: Slide tofu into a saucepan of simmering water and keep at a bare simmer while stir-frying rest of dish.

To stir-fry the pork: Heat a wok or large heavy skillet over high heat until hot and add 1 1/2 tablespoons corn oil, swirling to coat. Add pork and stir-fry, breaking up lumps and adding remaining 1/2 tablespoon corn oil if meat sticks, until no longer pink. Add garlic and ginger and stir-fry over moderate heat until very fragrant, about 2 minutes.

To finish the stir-fry: Stir reserved sauce, then add to pork and bring to a simmer. Drain tofu in a large sieve and slide into sauce, stirring gently.

Stir cornstarch mixture and add to stir-fry. Bring to a boil, stirring gently, and cook until thickened and glossy, about 15 seconds.

Turn off heat and sprinkle with sesame oil, sansho powder, to taste, and 2 tablespoons scallion. Stir once or twice, then serve sprinkled with remaining tablespoon scallion.

I made this really awesome okra-green curry-rice noodle stir fry tonight.

(I don't measure anything when make up weird dishes. Also, pardon my lack of sophisticated cooking terminology.)

-fresh okra (15-20 of them)
-half a red onion
-thai chillies (i used five)
-six cloves of garlic
-chinese cooking wine
-oyster sauce
-thai green curry paste
-three roma tomatoes
-chicken broth
-black pepper
-rice noodles (the thinner ones)
-little bit of canola oil
-even smaller bit of sesame oil
-two big basa fillets

1. cut off the tips of the okra and slice them all so they're each a little thicker than a nickel.
2. mince the garlic
2. julienne the onions
3. slice the tomatoes so they shaped like half circles
4. dice the chillies
5. cut the basa fillets into 1 X 1 cubes

In a wok:

-heat up the sesame and canola oil
-sweat the onions and garlic (two-four minutes maybe)
-add the chillies, okra, tomatoes. cook them for a few minutes
-add one part oyster sauce to one part cooking wine (i maybe used a little less than a cup of each)
-add the fish, about two tablespoons of the curry paste, and about one cup of chicken broth
-add black pepper (just a bit)
-stir every thing up
-cover the wok
-boil noodles (time it so they're done by the time the fish is cooked. this should take about five-seven minutes) and strain them
-add noodles to the gooey stir fry
-turn the heat off
-mix everything up

really yummy and took me about 30 minutes to make (including prep-time).

I'd been keeping an eye out for tapenade recipes without capers or anchovies (ew). I don't know why I missed this the first time... I made something similar recently with roasted red peppers and parsley in place of the tomatoes/basil...
