Georges Guacamole:
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* |

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). |
