Yes, I am. Had it with gay/straight/ Abraham/ Ishmael/ Left/ Right/ Christian/ Jewish/ Muslim/ Military/ Civilian bladdeebladee... and my last attempt to enforce my will upon yet another well grilled topic went awry (mostly because I went home and failed to baby sit it), so.
I'll present yet ANOTHER attempt to show the world that we here at NN are, in fact, capable of agreeing SOMETHING. And that SOMETHING is FOOD. Well, that we NEED it, anyway.
So. I'm asking maxintosh and a few others who dropped recipes into that... thing of a thread to repost them here. I'm asking dave to hurry the frig up with that BBQ sauce recipe.
And I am presenting my swordfish marinade.
Lemon.
White wine.
Honey (just a touch- and depending upon how sweet the white wine was)
Rosemary
Mustard (Now, I like using COlemans Dry, but the wife has taken to dropping in some dijon when I'm not looking... and it is pretty good).
Black Pepper.
Slop it together. Marinade the fish for a couple of hours. Grillup.
I defy the general consensus and like a Washington or Oregon Pinot Noir with my grilled swordfish. Or beer. Guinness.
Next up: Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble Tart with Walnut crumb shell.
And if y'all REALLY behave, the BEST friggin savory meat pies EVER. And I mean that. From the DEPTHS of my soul.

I tried to get your back with a solid Mousaka recipe...
veggie skewer marinade for grilling
Stone ground mustard
balsamic vinnegar
light olive oil
(strangely) kraft honey barbecue sauce
cumin (in nearly half of what I cook)
garlic salt
Simple, sweet and quite tasty.

I have lots of recipes.
I'll back ya.
Let's see...
How about an easy crabcake recipe? That's always a fave and you can pick up crabs or lobsters cheap in the summer and if you can't find them where you are for some reason then used canned meat.
Here goes:
CRAB CAKES OR LOBSTER CAKES
Olive oil
2 eggs
2 tablespoons ketchup
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/2 teaspoon paprika
2 tablespoons diced pimentos
2 tablespoons finely chopped chives or onions
1 pound lobster meat, or crab meat, cooked and chopped (or one lobster, boiled, and chopped -- boil live whole lobster for 8 to 10 minutes or have your grocery store steam one for you)
1/2 cup crushed butter crackers (or saltines), plus another 1/2 cup crackers set aside
Zinger Sauce, recipe follows
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Oil a cookie sheet with olive oil. In a medium bowl, lightly beat eggs with a wire whisk. Whisk in the ketchup, mayonnaise, butter, seasoned salt, and paprika. Stir in the pimentos and chives. Add lobster or crabmeat and 1/2 cup of the crushed butter crackers. Stir gently to combine. Form the mixture into 8 cakes, using a 1/3-cup measure for each. Dredge both sides of the cakes in the remaining 1/2 cup of cracker crumbs and place on oiled cookie sheet. Flatten slightly to make a 3-inch cake. Bake for 8 minutes, carefully turn each cake, and continue baking for another 8 minutes.
Drizzle Zinger Sauce over cakes or serve on the side.
Zinger Sauce:
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons ketchup
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
Cayenne pepper or chili powder if desired (to taste)
Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and stir until smooth and use on the side as a dipping sauce or pour over the cakes.

I learned last night, on "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy", a newbie rule for baking most kinds of fish: 6, 10, 400.
6 oz.
10 minutes at
400� F
I also learned, in Science Times, that that "Chilean Sea Bass" I see everywhere on the menu (because it keeps well) has a more common name: the Patagonian Toothfish.
Yum.

The local restaurants now are no longer generally serving chilean see bass (which isn't a bass supposedly). It apparently is rather low in numbers these days. Is this true? The reason I ask is because it's still widely available in stores.

a bit of a minimalist here, and as such i find a fettucini alfredo devine, but there's no real recipe here, just fresh ingredients - heavy cream, butter, parmasean... small portions with perhaps grilled shrimp.
and i've always felt cooking was more about technique than recipes, and for technique, jacques pepin is excellent.

OOOOOO! Crab Cakes!
OK. Everyone has a recipe. Well. Not EVERYONE. Everyone who makes... uh... crab cakes.
My newest:
1 lb lump crab.
couple of tablespoons of mayo.
finely chopped green onion.
finely chopped red bell pepper.
finely chopped jalepeno (to taste- since I am cooking for my wife and two year old, I tend to remove the seeds, white, cap and tail, roast a bit and use 2/3 of what is left- just enough for a peppery feel)
Well crushed box of Sesame Briton crackers (set aside one cup)
tablespoon of dijon.
Few healthy dashes of Old Bay
Few healthy dashes of white Worcestershire.
One Egg.
Mash it all together. If it is too mooshy, add more crushed crackers. Stop adding once you can form patties with RELATIVE ease. It is never really easy. Dredge these with the rest of the crackers and then (VERY important) let them sit in the fridge for a couple of hours.
Now, a lot of folks cook these in different ways. Me? I dump about half an inch of olive oil into a cast iron pan and just fry the buggers. Three minutes each side. Very hot oil. Drain.
Sauce:
Into a blender toss-
One well chopped, washed and seeded fresh red bell pepper.
A good handful of roasted red peppers
good dash of cider vinegar
a nice big sprig of fresh dill (or not if you dont have it- you can use dried if you need to)
a generous shaking of freshly milled black pepper and a pinch of sea salt.
Blend the ever loving beejeebus out of it. It should be smooth.
Slop sauce on the plate, toss a crab cake on top.
This is also great second day- using a wheat bulkie roll and some romaine, make a sandwich with the lefover crab cakes- use the sauce as a condiment. Yummers.
edit- forgot the mayo.

Mmm. Dav. Technique. True.
My favorite technique, bastardized from the cooking philosophy du Mas:
Best ingredients you can muster, do as little as possible to them. Use imagination. Don't limit yourself to what the directions say. Have sharp knives. Be creative. Cook to music.

Here's another fave at my house:
RICE KRISPIES FRIED CHICKEN
4 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
1 small onion, peeled and sliced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
1/4 cup fresh lime juice (or use all orange juice)
1 good chicken, cut into serving pieces, or use 8 to 10 leg pieces (drumsticks and thighs), trimmed of excess fat
4 tablespoons melted butter (use REAL butter, please!)
2 cups Rice Krispies, lightly crushed,
1. In a large bowl, combine cloves, onion, oregano, cumin and juices. Add chicken and toss; let sit while you heat oven, or marinate it, refrigerated, for up to a day. Drain marinade before cooking.
2. Heat oven to 425 degrees. Spread half the butter on a 9-by-12 baking dish. Put Rice Krispies on a plate and roll chicken in them, patting to help crumbs adhere. Carefully transfer to baking dish.
3. Drizzle chicken with remaining butter and bake, rotating pan so pieces brown evenly, until they are browned and cooked through, 30 to 40 minutes. Serve hot.

Hey! That was my recipe. Well, almost my recipe - the red bell pepper and the onion and the Worcestershire Sauce and the egg part...
My crab cakes also had a cup of plain bread crumbs, a cup of mayo, some crushed garlic (always looking for a reason to use my garlic press) and some dry mustard. They came out seriously yummy! Also, I used a Vidalia Onion.
Made my own tartar sauce too - just your basic mayo and relish and then I added a little paprika.

Well, yeah. I stole yours, added some of mine and dribbled in a bit of someone else's and dammit, it were GOOD. (edited mine- forgot the mayo... and the mustard! shyte!).
Thanks for the inspiration last week. You were talking about it and I realized I had pretty much all the makings. Made it. Was goooood.

Here's a great idea for kebabs. Marinade them in Italian dressing. MAKE YOUR OWN Italian with that idiot-proof mix from Good Seasons. (And for heaven's sake, use olive oil!)
Now, make your kebabs - beef tips, cherry tomatoes, square pieces of onion and bell peppers, etc.
Marinade for 24 hours.
Grill.
Pop open a beer and enjoy.

Here's a real winner on football weekends, parties, or for college friends and it's easy, but impressive and delicious:
CRUSTY CHICKEN AIOLI SANDWICH
(For marinade)
1 tablespoon minced ginger
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/4 cup chopped green onions or sweet onion
1 teaspoon chile or red pepper flakes
1/2 cup olive oil
Juice of one FRESH lemon
4 (4-ounce) chicken breasts
BIG ROUND LOAF OF CRUSTY BREAD
4 slices provolone
Romaine lettuce
2 tomatoes, sliced
1 sweet onion, sliced
FRESH basil leaves
Aioli, recipe follows OR seasoned mayonnaise OR olive oil, salt & pepper
Combine the ginger, garlic, green onions, chile or red pepper flakes, lemon juice and olive oil. Add the chicken and toss to coat. Marinate (preferably for a couple of hours or even overnight) in the refrigerator.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and place in a small roasting pan or on a baking sheet. Roast the chicken for 15 to 20 minutes, or until cooked through. Cut the chicken crosswise into very thin slices or shred. Set aside.
Raise the oven temperature to 450 degrees F.
Slice the loaf horizontally and place on baking sheet with the top half cut-side down and bottom half with cut-side up. Place the provolone slices on bottom half neatly. Cook until the cheese is melted and lightly toasted, about 3 minutes.
Place the sliced chicken on top of the melted cheese. Top with romaine lettuce, basil leaves, tomato, and sliced sweet onion. Spread some of the aioli or seasoned mayonnaise or olive oil on the top half of the roll and place the top crust on top of the sandwich. CUT INTO FOUR BIG WEDGES. Serve.
AIOLI RECIPE
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1/4 cup chopped basil
2 egg yolks*
Salt
Freshly ground white pepper
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 cups safflower oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
In a food processor or blender, combine the garlic, basil, egg yolks, salt, pepper, and Dijon mustard and process to combine. With the machine running, add the oil in a slow, steady stream until it is all added and the mixture is emulsified (thickens). Add the lemon juice and check the seasoning and modify to taste.
*Don't use this recipe if you have health problems are afraid of getting salmonella poisoning from raw eggs. Use mayo or olive oil instead.
EDITED TO SAY THAT CRISPY BACON PIECES ARE ALSO GREAT ON THIS SANDWICH.

I get hungry for things like fish at 8 in the morning...
I don't look at cheese the same way I used to...

YOU PROMISED BBQ SAUCE. I do not take said promises lightly. Step up, Montanan.
Don't make me make up some South Boston version for Timo's entertainment.

Barbecue sauce:
Any store bought brand.
Add a touch of honey, red pepper flakes, chili powder, Worcestshire sauce, red wine, Coca-Cola, whatever floats your boat.
We add Dale's Seasoning (2 tablespoons) or you could use Worcestshire, 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, 1/4 cup orange juice, 1 teaspoon dry mustard, and 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper to a good basic commercial barbecue sauce and it's a hit every time.
It's fruity and tangy and has a great flavor.
We also put this sauce on salmon fillets and broil it for 8 minutes and it's a huge hit every single time -- even for people who normally don't like fish.

See, this opens up the widely argued question over what is barbecue in the first place.
To those who live near spliffdaddy, assassyn, and myself, BBQ means pork, pig in a pig-cooker (rotisserie smoker), and the sauce is vinegar based.
example 1
1 1/2 cups dark brown sugar
1 1/2 cups worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 cups prepared mustard
1 quart ketchup
1/2 cup ground pepper
1/2 cup crushed red pepper (I use more for hot)
3 quarts red wine vinegar
2 quarts water
1 quart white wine
1 1/2 cups salt
combine all ingredients, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 30 min
example 2
(North Carolina style)
3 cups apple cider vinegar
3 cups water
1/3 cup white sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 1/2 tablespoons salt
1/4 cup black pepper
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
3 tablespoons paprika (Hungarian is best)
1 tablespoon dry mustard
1 cup Worcestershire sauce
Mix all together. Keep in glass jar. Best if allowed to sit for 48
hours before using.

Actually, in Tel-Aviv, if you say "basar levan" (white meat) it only refers to pork, not chicken.
And in North Carolina (where I bide my time in the US currently) this is what BBQ means. Vinegar. The second example. (The first one has a quart of ketchup in it- TRUE BBQ NEVER HAS KETCHUP IN IT.)
I'll post some kosher Tel-Aviv recipes in a little while.

Hey, everytime I go there they serve these little pancake-like flat breads that they wrap around other foods like a wonderful chicken in a sauce...do you know what I'm talking about? You can get them everywhere...
THAT'S the recipe I want!

You're talking about pita bread or mallawach.

No, it wasn't pita bread. I've been at homes where they make it. It's like a pancake batter only slightly different. Then they put things in it and rolled it up or folded it. I've had it with a chicken in a sauce most often.
Ring any bells?

Well. I tried it. I was half successful.
Equal parts Self rising flour and soda water.
Now. The trick as I recall was a VERY hot pan. I used a cast iron at first because of the even heat. Even on my perfectly seasoned pans, it was hard to keep from sticking. I was fine unless I moved it too soon. Then the debris just kept building and causing sticks. The nonstick pan was better, but the heat transfer not as good.
You want the top to be spongy and the bottom to be sorta golden.
JUST got this from a former student:
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup teff flour
1 cup water
pinch of salt
peanut or vegetable oil
Dry ingredients in a bowl. slowly mix in water, stir constantly. Avoid lumps.
LIGHTLY coat the pan with peanut oil. Pan must be very hot.
spread a thin layer of batter on pan. about as much as you would for the average omlette. Not as thin as a crepe. Not as thick as a pancake.

Dare? Huh.
Here we go. Except we will call it grilling sauce. And we'll call it West of Boston, because that is where I am at the moment. Keep in mind, I am nowhere near a kitchen and I'm kind of making this up.
Hm.
Cider vinegar.
Brown sugar.
Molasses.
dry Mustard.
Tomato paste.
Dash of water from the Merrimack.
Whiskey. Sour Mash.
Orange juice.
Worcestershire.
Garlic and onion finely minced.
Black pepper.
ground red pepper.
Should we throw in some liquid smoke? Just a hint? Yes. Yes we should. And we will.
Phil. Go make it and tell me how it worked.

Ring any bells?
this is crepes. Ashkenazi style.

Anyone have a good batter for fried fish or clams?
Like a good beer batter?
I need one -- there must be someone here (vmarks) who has one?
