Question

I love to cook.

Answer 1

Steak with Tomato-Oregano Sauce
Serves 4


Really, it's possible to get bored with thick steaks just gilled or broiled. These thinner steaks with a wonderful sauce bear sort of an Italian influence and provide a nice change. And it certainly is an easy recipe, isn't it?



4 beef strip steaks, cut 3/4 inch thick, 8 ounces each
3 Tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 small onion, chopped
1 14-oz can Italian diced tomatoes, drained
2 tsp chopped fresh oregano leaves or 1/2 tsp dried
2 garlic cloves, chopped
Pinch of hot pepper flakes


Pound steaks between two pieces of wax paper or plastic wrap until flattened to 1/2 inch thickness. Brush or spray with olive oil and season with 1/2 tsp salt and pepper.

In a nonreactive medium saucepan, heat remaining 2 Tbsp olive oil over medium heat & saute onion about 3 minutes, or until softened.

Add tomatoes, oregano, garlic, remaining salt, and the pepper flakes. Bring to a boil and immediately reduce heat to low, and gently simmer 7 to 8 minutes to blend flavors. Set aside.

Place the steaks about 3 inches below the broiler or above a bbq grill's heat source and cook for no more than 2 minutes per side.

Remove, plate and pour sauce over each steak. Serve with a salad.

Jamaican Black Bean Burgers
Serves 4

If you know habanera peppers you know why I say 1/2. And, yes, seeds optional - if you can stand the heat.





2 Tbsp olive or vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups onions, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 Tbsp fresh ginger, minced
1/2 tsp allspice
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1 & 1/2 cups black beans, cooked or canned
1 & 1/2 cups cooked rice
1/2 habanero pepper or 1 jalapeño pepper, chopped (seeds optional)
1 cup bread crumbs
1 tsp salt
black pepper to taste


Heat 1 tablespoon of oil and sauté the onions, stirring occasionally, until they soften, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger, allspice, and nutmeg and sauté for two more minutes. Pour into food processor along with beans, rice, and peppers. Pulse repeatedly, until mixture is chopped, but not puréed.

Transfer to bowl, add remaining ingredients, and mix well. Taste and adjust seasonings.

Shape into four patties, adding more bread crumbs if necessary and fry in 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat until crust forms, about 4 minutes per side.

Prosciutto Roulades
Makes 12

This easy recipe offers alternatives to prosciutto but try to use the real thing ("lean ham" instead of prosciutto?). It's worth the cost. But feel free to substitute a crisp pear for the apple.




2 oz. ricotta cheese (1/4 cup)
2 oz. Stilton cheese, crumbled
1 Tbsp dairy sour cream
12 very thin slices prosciutto, coppa salami or lean cooked ham
1 pear
Lemon juice
Lime slices and dill sprigs, if desired



In a small bowl, blend ricotta cheese, Stilton cheese and sour cream.

Spread evenly on the meat slices, spreading mix ture almost to edges.

Peel, quarter and core pear, then cut each quarter lengthwise in 3 thin slices. Brush slices lightly with lemon juice to prevent darkening (this is important). Place a pear slice on each cheese—topped prosciutto slice.

Roll up prosciutto slices, cover and refrigerate until ready to serve (unless the guests are at the door).

Garnish with lime slice and dill sprig, if desired.

Serves 4

Whoever heard of quick and easy paella? Who ever heard of "paella"?

Of course, you know about this dish but maybe you didn't know there was a quick & easy recipe for it.

If you're a traditionalist you can add clams or shrimp. If you're not, add whatever you like - or don't add anything; it's pretty great as presented.



4 chicken legs (thighs and drumsticks)
4 Tbsp olive oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
I garlic clove. crushed
1 tsp ground turmeric
1/2 lb chorizo or andouille sausage
1 cup long grain rice, uncooked
1 14 oz can chicken broth
1 28 oz can diced tomatoes
1 red pepper, seeded and sliced
1 cup frozen peas
Salt and ground black pepper



Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Place 4 drumsticks and 4 thighs (cut apart, of course) in a large stove-top roasting pot with the olive oil and brown them on both sides, about 4 minutes total.

Add the onion and garlic and stir in the turmeric. Cook for 2 minutes over a medium heat.

Slice the sausage and add to the pan, with the rice and stock. Bring to boil and season to taste, then lower the heat, cover and cook for 10 minutes.

Remove from the heat and add the tomatoes, red pepper and frozen peas. Return to the heat and cook, stirring frequently for a further 10—I5 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and the rice has absorbed the stock.

And in about half-an-hour you've got paella!

Really, it's pretty hard to find anything but an easy recipe for steak.

2 Tbsp vegetable oil

Heat oil and butter in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add filets when butter just begins to sizzle. Cook until crisp and dark brown on one side, about 5 minutes; turn. Salt filets. Cook, basting with pan juices, until still rare in center, about 4 more minutes.

Remove pan from heat; remove filets. Pour off grease in pan. Return steaks to pan. Put pan over medium heat; add Cognac.

(Here comes the exciting part; be sure your dinner mate is there to be impressed.)

Carefully ignite Cognac with a long match. Gently shake pan over heat until flame dies. Transfer steaks to 2 plates or a platter. Keep warm (I mean the steaks!).

Why New Mexico? I'm told this tasty dish is similar to one native to that part of the country, called migas

4 large eggs
4 large egg whites
1/2 cup coarsely crumbled tortilla chips
Salt & freshly ground black pepper
2 tsp unsalted butter
2 green onions, sliced thin
i jalapeno, seeded and minced
1/4 cup minced cilantro
Salsa, optional



Whisk together eggs and egg whites in a medium-sized bowl. Add tortilla chips, salt, and black pepper; set aside.

Melt butter in a medium-sized nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add green onions and jalapenos and stir them around slowly for less than a minute until they soften a bit.

Add the egg mixture, sprinkle with cilantro and scramble those eggs, over medium heat until just softly set. If you prefer your scramblers like popcorn keep on scramblin'.

Serve with salsa for authenticity's sake, and because it tastes good.
