Mediterranean kebabs

By Anonymous -
I made this for dinner last night and it was so, so good. Gaby inhaled her chicken, without any prodding from me. I'll be making this again, and soon.

The original recipe is here.

Four chicken breasts
1 1/2 cup plain yogurt
3 cloves crushed garlic
1/4 cup finely-chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup finely-chopped fresh basil (from my garden!)
3 tbsp Dijon mustard
2 tbsp fresh thyme (from my garden!)
1Ž2 tsp ground cumin
1Ž2 tsp ground coriander
2 large sweet onions chopped into wedges (I forgot to do the onions)
Approximately 20 cherry tomatoes
Three yellow bell peppers cut into chunks (I didn't use this many)
Three orange peppers cut into chunks (I didn't use this much, either)

Mix yogurt, herbs, garlic spices and mustard. Cut meat into 1-inch chunks and marinate in yogurt mixture. Marinate lamb or chicken (we marinated the chicken for about 8 hours)
Thread on skewers, cook on grill until done.
A tip: We find if you thread the chicken on separate skewers than the vegetables, then you can cook everything until it is the appropriate doneness without having stuff burn.

I am so glad you enjoyed these! My friend WWW is quiet a cook and he will be tickled that someone made this recipe. He made a point of writing everything down so I'd get it right. :)

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.
