Joseph's Kielbasa

By -
"From the Tables of Round Top Revisited," a cookbook I got for Christmas from Geoff's Aunt Kinky (of margarita and salsa fame).

1 can (10-3/4 oz) condensed cream of celery soup, undiluted
¾ cup water
1 T butter or margarine
1 lb smoked Kielbasa, cut into ½-inch pieces
¾ cup uncooked long grain rice
1 (10 oz) package frozen peas or frozen mixed vegetables
1 (4.5 oz) can sliced mushrooms, drained (optional)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

In a skillet, combine soup, water, and butter; bring to a boil. Add Kielbasa and rice. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15-18 minutes or until rice is almost tender. Stir in peas and mushrooms. Cover and simmer 15 minutes, or until rice is tender and peas or vegetables are heated through. Sprinkle with cheese, cover and let stand until melted.

Serves 4-6.

We liked it, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered posting it.

Yes, we put the cheese on top. We love cheese!

Did you try it? What did you think?

We haven't tried it yet, but it's on my list for next week, I think. (sadly, I've done menu planning for the entire month). I'm always a little afraid of things with condensed cream of whatever soup...I don't know why, they always turn out really tasty.

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.
