Delicio Recipe List

Last time... "My guys don't eat soup. One night I was making this soup for my step-mother who wasn't feeling well. My son and husband were in the back of the house playing the play station. They came into the kitchen asking what the terrific smell was... Needless to say, I had to make another batch of soup!" This time the hubby actually asked me to make this soup!  I decided to make it a little heartier. I used Kielbasa because that was all I had on hand. I added large chunks of mushrooms and a teaspoon of minced garlic. I also a cup of evaporated milk. The basic recipe is listed below. Fell free to add or take out what you'd like! Tuscan Soup 6 cups chicken broth 1 onion, chopped 3 (3.5 ounce) links Johnsonville Italian sausage 3 large potatoes, cubed 1 bunch fresh spinach, washed and chopped 1/4 cup evaporated milk salt and pepper to taste Remove skin from sausage and crumble into frying pan. Add chopped onion, and cook over medium heat until meat is no longer p...

This one has sauted Mushrooms and Onions with Provolone Cheese! These have onions and Swiss cheese. I saw one of those videos out there that showed something like this, but prettier and very easy and simple looking. So I gave it a shot. It is NOT simple or easy or pretty! They leave out a lot of steps as always. I changed a few ingredients. (Only because I did not have them on hand. It didn't make a difference in the difficulty.) I tried to get a step-by-step photo shoot. The quality isn't that great on the poor old camera I'm using, but you'll get the idea!   No mushrooms or spinach this time, but it will next time. Spread out the vegetable mix. Slice the cheese into strips so it will roll easier. I used Swiss this time.  Carefully roll from the narrow end  holding the stuffing in and keeping it even. Secure with skewers. I had to use two per roll. Slice into rounds. I got 6 out of this one.  Over high heat, sear for 1-2 minutes per side.  Then into the ov...

Thought of making Saag-Aloo (a nutritious dish made of spinach & potatoes) dish for tonight?s dinner. While preparing I found out there was no coriander leaves (which I generally use for spinach gravy recipes) but a handful bunch of mint leaves were available. Well wary at first of the taste, substituted coriander leaves with the mint leaves and voila...the final dish was also delicious with the typical smell of mint. A few bunch of mint leaves were extra so I prepared mint, cucumber & yogurt raita and instead of plain roti made pudina parantha to have a whole course "minty" menu for tonight's dinner. Ingredients: 2-3 bunch spinach, roughly chopped 4 medium sized potatoes, peeled & diced 1 cup shelled peas 2 bunch mint leaves 2 large onions, finely chopped / grated 1 tsp ginger paste 1 tsp garlic paste 1 large tomato, finely chopped 2 tsp coriander powder ? tsp garam masala powder ? tsp red chili powder 1-2 green chilli (as per taste) salt to taste 1 tbsp oi...

Somehow preparing a dish with spinach (palak / palong shak) always meant to me palak paneer or fried spinach (shak bhaja as known in bengali cuisine). But learnt to substitute vegetables like potatoes (shaag aloo) or soya granules (soya palak) in place of paneer after coming to my in-law?s place. Whenever I prepare the palak puree for soya palak , it?s the same procedure, I use while making palak paneer, I only replace paneer with the vegetables / soya chunks. This is extremely nutritious dish with protein from soya granules and iron and minerals from Spinach. Ingredients: 2 bunch palak (spinach), roughly chopped 1 cup soy granules 2 garlic cloves 2 bunch coriander leaves 2 large onions, finely chopped / grated 1 tsp ginger paste 1 tsp garlic paste 1 large tomato, finely chopped 2 tsp coriander powder ? tsp garam masala powder ? tsp red chili powder 1-2 green chilli (as per taste) salt to taste 1 tbsp oil 1 tbsp cream, for garnish 1 bunch coriander leaves, chopped, garnish (optional) P...
