Members Mr. Botch Posted August 16, 2005 Members Share Posted August 16, 2005 One of the cool things about Craig's forum is the Off-topic threads about things that so many music folks get passionate about. One of my favorites was the "Recipe thread" from the Musicplayer days, it can be found right here. I dug this up because it was too fun, and I think the folks new to SSS will enjoy some of the ideas too. The other reason is that I learned a fairly basic recipe at a cooking class a week ago, it was so good I wanted to share it: Hummus 1 15 oz. can garbanzos (chick peas)2 Tblspns Olive OilLemon juice squeezed from 1/2 lemon1 Tblspn toasted sesame oil1 to 2 cloves garlic, peeledSalt and pepper to taste Drain garbanzos, reserve liquid. Throw everything into a food processor with 1/4 cup of the garbanzo liquid, process until smooth but still slightly chunky. Add more of the liquid if necessary (you should be able to dip a knife into it to spread it). Pour into a serving bowl and top with another drizzle of olive oil. Spread onto pocket bread, melba toasts, cucumber slices, bell pepper strips, your lover, carrot/celery/jicama sticks, or tortilla chips. Okay, your turn!

And for god's sake use extra virgin here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Shars Posted August 16, 2005 Members Share Posted August 16, 2005 Thanks Botch, as you know I am not keen on Hummus but I'll give your recipe a try. I'll do a couple of my fav recipes and post them up as and when I get time but theres one that I love to do and its my lamb chops. Heres the recipe for you: One of my best recipes is for lamb or mutton chops.You'll need the following ingredients and it takes about an hour to cook and always serve with Rice. Chops, preferably the thicker cut they are, the better1 large onion, sliced4 Garlic cloves crushedGinger, chopped,Seasoning as following: 4-5 teaspoons of Paprika, black pepper, 5-6 teaspoons of mild-medium Curry Powder,4 teaspoons of season all if you can get it or lamb chop seasoning.chopped fresh coriander2 tomatoes chopped2 veggie stock cubestin of plum tomatoes, chopped1 Jalepeno chilli, seeded and chopped finely.Hot water Season your chops with the season all, paprika, curry powder,onions, coriander,garlic and ginger.Leave over night in a sealed container in the fridge. Heat some oil, prefrably olive oil in a deep pot and add the chops with all your seasoning in and fry. If you want more seasoning added, add it now to taste.Leave to brown and cover till juices start to come out, this takes about 10 mins or so.Add your chopped tomatoes and cook down.add your tinned tomatoes and cover and cook for about 10 mintues.add you Jalapenos peppers and no more than half a pepper or it will be to hot.cook for a few minutes.add your 2 stock cubes by crumbling in and add hot water just to cover the chops and simmer for 45mins to an hour.Add more fresh coriander and serve with Rice.

Members John Sayers Posted August 16, 2005 Members Share Posted August 16, 2005 My Homus/Hummus recipe is different. 3 cups of cooked chick peas.1 cup of lemon juice1/2 cup of Tahini (sesame butter)2 cloves of garlic (raw garlic is very strong)saltblend in processor adding additional water from the water the peas were cooked in to give right consistency. place in serving bowl and drizzle extra virgin olive oil over the surface, then sprinkle lightly with paprika. If you replace the chick peas with cooked eggplantand use 1/2 cup lemon juice to 1 cup of tahini + garlic/saltyou get Babaganoush. cheersjohn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members John Sayers Posted August 17, 2005 Members Share Posted August 17, 2005 Nice Pig - I'll try that for sure John's Fish Soup. Take 2 - 3 leeks and remove the roots and green section. Coursely chop the green tops/root and place in a pot with a little oil. Stir fry lightly then add a cup or more of white wine, a bayleaf, black peppercorns, some fresh herbs and two fish heads. Simmer for one hour. Strain and reserve stock, reduce if necessary to allow for 4 serves. Salt to taste. Take the meat off the fish heads, the cheek flesh is the best. Finely slice the white leeks and simmer in a little butter till soft. In a bowl place some pieces of fishmeat in the bottom, cover with some sauted white leek, sprinkle with parmesan cheese and pour over stock, sprinkle with chopped parley. Yum cheers john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
