Many recipes...

I've made quite a bit over the last couple weeks. I just haven't gotten around to posting the recipes!

So here:

Inari

I bought the premade inari shells from Lee Lee's (our local Asian market).




Aren't they beautiful!

You can enlarge the pictures by clicking on them. The recipes are from a Japanese cookbook.

Next is Kitsune Udon. It means "fox noodles."




I buy frozen cooked udon because I learned the hard way that I simply cannot cook dry udon. I don't know why. I also cheated and used the inari shells for the fried sweetened tofu. You can make it yourself and it's not too hard but I had them on hand. This is the broth:




These next two are from Christina Cooks, The Great American Diet Makeover. I can't put the recipes again because the links are all messed up still but you can download the PDF file as it has a lot of great recipes in it.

Almost Traditional Pad Thai



Gazpacho Salad



It tastes just like my famous bread salad so I doubt I'll be making it again.

With the leftover tomatoes I made this:



Simple. I cooked onions and then garlic. Added chopped tomatoes, balsamic, thyme and rosemary, white wine and simmered to reduce the sauce. Tasty!

Finally, I find Joanne Weir to be kind of full of herself. I guess if I had my own cooking school TV show I could afford to be like that too. I watch her show purely to make fun of her in my head. But she did have a great recipe that I made vegetarian.




Cook onion and garlic in a saucepan. Add vegetarian sausage. Add sage and rosemary. Add crushed tomatoes, red wine and a bay leaf. After flavors have blended and vegetables softened add cream. Finally fish out the bay leaf and add parm cheese. Toss sauce with cooked penne. So delicious!
