Sweet Potato Surprise Vegetarian Recipe

!±8± Sweet Potato Surprise Vegetarian Recipe

Have a look around any market in the world and you find sweet potatoes stocked and in plentiful supply. Fruits and vegetables are packed with vitamins, minerals, fiber and complex carbohydrates that help lower the risk of disease and cancer.

Packed with beta carotene, sweet potatoes also contain vitamin A, are rich in potassium and one daily serving of sweet potatoes can greatly reduce your risk of heart disease and even cancer. This fat and cholesterol free vegetable is an ideal choice for diabetics as they have a low glycemic index. Although carrots were once considered the best source for beta carotene, the sweet potato has since overtaken it.

Some tips for choosing/ preparing the perfect one:

* They don't store as well as white potatoes, so enjoy them within a week of purchase.

* Choose ones that are firm, with unwrinkled skin and no bruises or soft spots.

* Store them in a cool, dry place in a container that's open to the air.

* Don't refrigerate them raw, or they will develop a hard core in the middle and their flavor will deteriorate.

Vegan Stuffed Mushroom Recipe - Ingredients And Directions On How To Make The Perfect Mushrooms

!±8± Vegan Stuffed Mushroom Recipe - Ingredients And Directions On How To Make The Perfect Mushrooms

This vegan stuffed mushroom recipe makes a delicious appetizer, or if you serve the stuffed mushrooms on a bed of greens or grains you can make a meal of them.

The fungi family isn't huge in our diet, so mushrooms bring different nutrients from most other vegetables. In Chinese medicine, they are thought of as an important component of healing.

Vegan Stuffed Mushroom Recipe Ingredients

12 mushrooms 1 yellow onion, chopped 1 tsp olive oil 1 garlic clove, pressed or minced 1 Tbsp fresh thyme (or 1 tsp dried) 2 Tbsp red wine (or white) 3 Tbsp water Fresh spinach leaves, chopped pinch of sea salt ¼ cup almonds Salt & pepper 1 Tbsp nutritional yeast (optional)

Vegan Stuffed Mushroom Recipe Directions

Take the stems off the mushrooms and chop them. Sauté the onion in olive oil until translucent, then add the garlic, the mushroom stems and the thyme. When the stems soften, add a small amount of wine to deglaze the pan, and then add water. Brush any dirt off the mushroom tops, then put them in the pan, tops down. Spoon a bit of the juice over them and then let them simmer for about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, toast the almonds lightly and then grind them in a coffee grinder, blender or food processor. Mix them in a small bowl with salt, pepper and nutritional yeast if you're using it. Remove the mushrooms from the pan, then move the spinach to the pan. If you sprinkle it with a pinch of salt, it will help the spinach to wilt. Turn off the heat once the spinach is wilted and stir together the mushroom stems and almond mixture with the spinach. Spoon the mixture into the mushroom caps, then put them on a baking dish. Put them into the oven, preheated to 350 degrees F, for 15-20 minutes. The stuffing will start to brown when done, and the mushrooms should be soft and moist.

Hungarian Goulash

!±8± Hungarian Goulash

Many people have eaten goulash at one point or another in the lives. In the United States and Canada for example, versions of goulash are quite popular as comfort food, and are often eaten with noodles or macaroni. As you may know, goulash has its origins in the central European country of Hungary, however the versions eaten in other countries are often so different from the original dish, that the principle resemblance to the Hungarian version of the recipe is simply the name!

In Hungary, goulash, which is known as "gulyás" or "gulyásleves" is a thick soup. The dish is believed to have originated with the cattlemen and herders of the great Hungarian plain, and was therefore prepared using only ingredients that they could easily carry with them. The dish was traditionally prepared:-

1. Meat (beef) was cut into chunks, seasoned with salt, pepper and paprika, and browned in a pot.

2. Chopped onions and bell peppers were added, and then water or stock, as well as a small amount of tomatoes or tomato juice (but not so much as tomato so as to dominate the taste). In some variants of the recipe, chopped potatoes would be added as well.

3. The mixture would then be slowly simmered for a long period in cauldron over a fire.

4. Herbs such as bay leaf, caraway seeds or thyme might also be added. Alternatively, some cooks might added a little white wine or white wine vinegar.

As you can see, there are quite a few possible variations in the Hungarian recipe, and as you might imagine these variations are a topic of hot debate among Hungarian cooks. In any case, Hungarian versions of the recipe taste very different from toned-down versions of goulash cooked with hamburger meat and lots of tomatoes - so if you've never tried goulash cooked in the Hungarian style, why not give it a go?

Restaurant Recipes How To Make Mader's Hungarian Goulash Recipe

www.RecipeSecrets.us Ialways wanted to improve my cooking despite the fact that I am very bad at it, and nothing seems to come out well out of my hands. But I still got my hope and decided to start looking for some good recipes (what I mean by this is something that tastes good even with my clumsy skills). And I think I might have found it. I absolutely love restaurant food and the spices they use to make it so much different from what we make at home. I always wondered what made it so delicious despite the fact that we use the seemingly same ingredients at home, with worse results. Then I found a recipe book written by Ron Douglas, named (conveniently) "America's Secret Recipes", that advertised the fact that the book held restaurant secrets and recipes that the billion dollar companies like KFC, Pizza Hut, Red Lobster and many others are trying to keep away from the public. Who doesn't want to learn how to cook up a Pizza Hut house special huh? Yes, the book has it's share of Pizza Recipes and deserts! Yeah, actually I always wanted to know how they make those exceptionally tasty Tiramisu cakes. I always had it in for those. http The book also tries to make use of easy recipes in a sense of presenting the recipes by their signature companies, for example if you're looking for KFC specials, you will find them all in one spot so you don't need to read every recipe in the book to actually find what you're looking for. Overall, the book is worth that special price tag I got ...
