While we're on the topic of sandwich spreads

I'm eating Soy Spread sandwiches this week
both recipes are from Laurel's Kitchen

>>>>>
Soy Spread

1 small onion, minced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 small stalk celery, minced
1/4 C chopped green pepper
2-3 T olive oil
2 T tomato sauce
1 T basil
1/2 t oregano
1 can cooked, mashed soybeans
1-2 t vinegar
1/2 t salt
dash pepper

Saute onion & garlic in olive oil until soft, then add celery & cook until onion is transparent
Add tomato paste & herbs and simmer.
Stir in mashed soybeans, vinegar, salt & pepper.
Makes about 1 1/2 C.
Serve on sandwich bread with sprouts.

>>>>>>
(I have to add about 1/4 C of water to give it enough liquid for everything to simmer together. I usually mash the beans with everything else once it's simmered awhile.)
>>>>>

Cheese Spread

1 C grated cheese
1 C cottage cheese
add any combination of:
finely chopped celery, green or red pepper
minced parsley/chives
chopped tomatoes
paprika
mustard powder
dill weed

Serve on sandwich bread.

Stupid question...are soy beans the same as edamame?

Actually, that's a good point. I assume no and use a can of white colored beans (like the dry white ones you can buy). Now that you mention it, though, I'm just not sure. I don't think edamame would mash quite right...

I'll post edamame hummus up here soon which IS made with the green ones.

Air Freshener

An Avon lady was going in an elevator when she suddenly had to fart. She promptly reached into her bag and sprayed the air with her deodorizer.

Two floors later a gentleman got into the elevator. he began to sniff.

The Avon lady asked' "Do you smell something?"

"Well, yes, I do" he replied.

"What does it smell like?"

"Hmmm, I'm not sure, but it kind of smells like someone shit in a pine tree." :)

Dayton's Famous Pine Club Salad Dressing

By -
Well, close enough anyway. The Pine Club is probably Dayton's most famous restaraunt--not that Dayton is some culinary mecca or anything. This dressing is traditionally served on an iceberg lettuce salad with grated carrot (boring). It's a shame, really, since the dressing is so good but that's why it's better to eat it at home on the salad of your choice. I like it over a green salad with blue cheese, apples/pears and toasted walnuts/pecans, it's good with pasta salad and it's also good on Isaac's broccoli salad. Serves approximately 8. 1 C vegetable/canola oil 3/4 C cider vinegar 1/3 C white sugar 1 tsp salt 2 tsp garlic powder 1 scant tsp red pepper flakes You can mix this one of two ways: either pour it all into a mason jar, put on the lid and shake the heck out of it or do it up with your stick blender. I recommend using the stick blender. Either way it's delicious. Refrigerate leftovers and note that it keeps pretty well. I think I had my...

Pesto Tortellini Salad

By -
Why don't we just re-name the blog "Recipes Kelly Stole from Isaac's" because I seem to have no other recipes amongst my repertoire. Sheesh. Again, this is not really a recipe, but this salad was, and still is, one of the biggest sellers at the restaurant. As with all of Isaac's recipes, I've drastically reduced the quantity from the original (5 lbs. of tortellini, anyone?) 1.5 lbs tri-colored cheese-filled tortellini (or regular white ones, whatever), cooked according to pkg directions and gently rinsed with cold water 1.5 medium-ish tomatoes, diced 1/2 medium-size red onion, diced 1/3 C black olives (do yourself a favor and get some decent olives) 2/3 C or so pesto (I did a mix of basil pesto and arugula pesto) Dump all ingredients into a bowl and stir until everything is well-coated by the pesto. This is tasty when served immediately but the flavor will continue to develop the longer it sits. As usual, I added 2 handfuls of chopped asparagus but wi...

mango soba update

By gwen -
A small note to those of us trying to eat more veg, as Kelly would say... this soba noodle salad is delicious with slaw replacing some or all of the noodles. I made it with just one little bundle of noodles, a whole bag of broccoli slaw, and half a bag of cabbage/carrot mixture, and it's great -- actually provides a delicious crunch and you don't miss the rest of the noodles. I cooked the chicken in a bit of the marinade, too, and diced it into the salad/noodle/mango mixture for some protein. Yum.
