Delicious Beef Stew

You might wanna try irish dish for a change. I really love diversity and new dishes from all over the world. I've been so anxious to try  "Thick beef stew good eaten from a bowl or poured over biscuits. Substitute lamb and voila!...Irish stew!! If thicker stew is desired, add more cornstarch and/or take cover off for last 15-20 minutes. The longer this simmers, the better! Vary the herbs to your taste." 

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds cubed beef stew meat
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 4 cubes beef bouillon, crumbled
  • 4 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 3 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 4 carrots, cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 4 stalks celery, cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons cold water

Directions

  1. In a large pot or dutch oven, cook beef in oil over medium heat until brown. Dissolve bouillon in water and pour into pot. Stir in rosemary, parsley and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover and simmer 1 hour.
  2. Stir potatoes, carrots, celery, and onion into the pot. Dissolve cornstarch in 2 teaspoons cold water and stir into stew. Cover and simmer 1 hour more.

Blackberry Pie

 This is the best blackberry pie recipe ever! Let's do it and decorate it later, and invite someone to join us to eat it, like your best friend or a neighbor.
When we traveled the forests near by, we found a lot of berry bushes, and gathered many baskets of blackberries. But now a part of the forest is in construction, so there will be less blackberries when they grow again and bear fruit.


Ingredients

Original recipe makes 1 - 9 inch pie


 1 (15 ounce) package pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie
4 cups fresh blackberries
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon butter



Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line a 9 inch deep dish pie pan with one of the crusts.
  2. Place the blackberries in a large bowl. Stir together the sugar, flour, and salt. Sprinkle over the berries, and toss to coat. Pour into the pie crust. Dot with butter. Place the other pie crust over the top, and secure to the bottom crust by pressing with a fork, or fluting with your fingers. Cut a design in the top crust with a sharp knife to vent steam.
  3. Bake for 1 hour in the preheated oven, or until the top crust is browned. Let cool to almost room temperature before serving to allow the filling to set.

Shrimp with Veggies Recipe

I've been looking for a good shrimp recipe. We had shrimp at New Years Eve Party! It was so good and delicious. Don't let some of the ingredients fool you--this spicy shrimp makes a simple, impressive dish, which I usually make for company. For more or less heat, adjust amount of red pepper. Serve over hot steamed rice. Or with pasta or veggies works too.

Ingredients   
Original recipe makes 4 servings

 

4 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon honey
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/4 cup sliced green onions
4 cloves garlic, minced
12 ounces cooked shrimp, tails removed

Directions
In a bowl, stir together water, ketchup, soy sauce, cornstarch, honey, crushed red pepper, and ground ginger. Set aside.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in green onions and garlic; cook 30 seconds. Stir in shrimp, and toss to coat with oil. Stir in sauce. Cook and stir until sauce is bubbly and thickened.

The Best Chicken Soup Ever


This soup my beloved Grandmother used to make when we didn't feel well. Once even my neighbor gave me chicken soup when I came back from the hospital. I must admit we rarely make this kind of soup. We should make it more often, to prevent flu or cold, and never wait until we sneeze and have a headache.
I'm going now to buy the ingredients from a local store. Enjoy it, it's super delicious!!



Ingredients

    1 (2 to 3 pound) whole chicken
alissasweddingdream.blogspot.ro-best-chicken-soup
    3 stalks celery with leaves, chopped
    1 pound baby carrots
    2 onions, chopped
    2 cubes beef bouillon, crumbled
    1 packet chicken noodle soup mix
    2 (14.5 ounce) cans low-sodium chicken broth
    1 pinch dried thyme
    1 pinch poultry seasoning
    1 pinch dried basil
    5 black peppercorns
    2 bay leaves
    1 pinch dried parsley
    1 (8 ounce) package farfalle (bow tie) pasta

Directions

    Place chicken in a large pot and cover with water. Place celery leaves in pot and bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until chicken is cooked through, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove chicken from pot and place in a bowl until cool enough to handle.
    Meanwhile, strain the cooking liquid, discard the celery tops and place the cooking liquid in a large pot. Place celery, carrots, onion, bouillon, soup mix and chicken broth in the pot and let simmer. Season with thyme, poultry seasoning, basil, peppercorns, bay leaves and parsley.
    Bone chicken and cut up meat into bite-size pieces. Return meat to pot. Cook until vegetables are tender and flavors are well blended, up to 90 minutes.
    Stir pasta into pot and cook 10 to 15 minutes more, until noodles are al dente. Serve hot.

Ingredients

Original recipe makes 4 servings

8 (6 inch) corn tortillas
6 eggs 1/4 cup milk

Chicken Breasts with Onion Gravy

"This delicious chicken recipe includes a simple exercise in pan gravy perfection. If I only had one day to teach someone how to cook, you better believe this archetypal sauce recipe would be one of the first things I'd demonstrate." 






Ingredients

 Original recipe makes 2 servings

  • 2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halve
  • salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

    Directions
    \
    Make the cake: Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Whisk together flour, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, the baking powder, and salt. Whisk together oil, egg yolks, and milk in a large bowl. Whisk flour mixture into egg-yolk mixture.

    Beat egg whites with a mixer on high speed until frothy. Add cream of tartar and vanilla seeds or extract, and beat until soft peaks form.

    Transfer batter to tube pan. Bake until top of cake springs back when touched, 52 to 55 minutes. Let cool upside down (over a bottle or on tube-pan feet) 1 hour.

Spread with half the berries, and drizzle with juices. Spread half the whipped cream over berries, then top with middle cake layer. Spread with remaining berries and whipped cream. Top with remaining cake layer. Refrigerate cake 1 hour. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar, and serve with berries.
