Back to Recipe List	* Exported from MasterCook * Fiery Tempter Recipe By : The Hoppin 'n' Poppin Popcorn Cookbook by Gina Steer Serving Size : Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Volume 12-04 Apr 2009 Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 1 quart freshly popped popcorn **Topping** 1 small onion -- peeled and sliced 2 garlic cloves -- peeled and chopped 2 red chili peppers -- (2 to 3) deseeded and sliced 2 tablespoons corn oil -- or sunflower oil 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley Salt and freshly ground black pepper -- to taste Pop the popcorn just before you make the topping. Place the onion, garlic and chili peppers in a mortar and pestle or in a food processor fitted with a metal blade; either pound or blend until you have a smooth puree. Heat the oil in a skillet and gently sauté the puree for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat; stir in the parsley and seasoning to taste. Cool slightly then pour over the freshly popped popcorn and stir gently until well coated. Notes - the chili peppers called for in the book are Fresno chilies with the added comment that if these are not available any other fresh chilies or even jars of freshly minced chili can be used. The author suggests that the amount you use should depend on your heat tolerance and recommends you start with a smaller amount and increase it to taste.

Bobbie's Notes: To make half of this dish and to make this a low-fat meal I used turkey bratwurst, which I browned before adding and 1/2 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules but found that I needed a whole cup of water. I also added an onion, cut in 1/4's. This was very good and filling.

Back to Recipe List * Exported from MasterCook * Fruity Ham Pancakes Recipe By : Hallie Serving Size : Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Volume 12-04 Apr 2009 Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 1/2 cup finely chopped dried apricots Orange liqueur -- to cover [I used Van Der Hum] 1/4 cup very hot water 1 cup cooked mixed rice [mixture of wild rice, brown rice and red rice] 1 cup coffee cream -- (18% fat) 3/4 cup finely chopped smoked ham 1 pinch cayenne pepper 2 cups buttermilk pancake mix 1 1/2 cups water Chopped chives Except for the amount of pancake mix the quantities for the ingredients listed are approximate; we are making pancakes, not cake. Chop the apricots and put them in a small bowl with enough orange liqueur to cover. You can substitute orange juice for the liqueur if you wish. Set this aside to soak for a while then add the very hot water and leave this soaking while you work on the rest of the dish. Put the rice into another bowl and add the cream; set aside. Chop or mince the ham and stir in a good pinch of cayenne pepper or some hot sauce. Heat a heavy frying pan or griddle to a fairly hot temperature. Into a large bowl put the buttermilk pancake mix. Make a well in the middle and dump in the apricots with their liquid, the rice/milk mixture and the ham. Stir this together then add as much cold water as necessary to make a slightly thick batter. Whether or not you add oil to the pan will depend on how non-stick your pan is. Drop the batter, about 1/4 cup for each pancake, onto the hot pan and lightly spread it out a little. Immediately sprinkle a few chopped chives over the top. When the first side has cooked sufficiently (you can tell this has happened when bubbles start to appear on the top) flip it over and cook on the other side for just long enough for it to brown a bit. Remove the pancake and put it on a warmed plate. Repeat the procedure with the rest of the batter. Serve with a bit of butter and, if you wish, a poached egg. I happened to have some cooked mixed rice leftover so I used that but you could easily use plain white or brown rice instead if that is what you have. Leftover cooked rice keeps well in the freezer and is perfect for this type of dish. If you don't have rice you could also use canned or thawed frozen corn. Leftover pancakes (and don't ask me how many this recipe made because I didn't count) can also be wrapped and frozen for use later; reheat them in a toaster, toaster oven, microwave or covered frying pan. You obviously don't have to use a commercial pancake mix either, just add the other ingredients to your favourite buttermilk pancake batter recipe. Notes: I made this the other day to use up some leftovers and it received Buddy's vote of approval so that was good enough for me to make a note of what I had done. <G> H.
