Hallacas Guajiras De Pollo (Chicken Tamales)

Posted: 31 Oct 2013 10:25 PM PDT

This is a recipe for Venezuelan or Colombian style chicken tamales. These are unlike Mexican tamales since they are wrapped in banana leaves rather than corn husks. If you absolutely cannot find banana leaves (I buy them frozen sometimes and always find them in a Latino market) you can just use aluminum foil to make the packets. That would be a pity, though, because the banana leaves impart their flavor to these in a most appealing way. These are really easy, but a little tedious to make. The tendency is to make them too big, so curb your enthusiasm! Pun intended. -- posted by threeovens

Cream of Turkey & Wild Rice Soup With Weight Watchers Points

Posted: 01 Nov 2013 06:58 AM PDT

From Eating Well 2008 This is a healthier twist on a classic creamy turkey and wild rice soup that hails from Minnesota. Serve with a crisp romaine salad and whole-grain bread. 4.5 Points per 1 cup serving. Ingredient note: Quick-cooking or instant wild rice has been parboiled to reduce the cooking time. Conventional wild rice takes 40 to 50 minutes to cook. Be sure to check the cooking directions when selecting your rice—some brands labeled “quick” take about 30 minutes to cook. If you can't find the quick-cooking variety, just add cooked conventional wild rice along with the turkey at the end of Step 2. Tip: To poach chicken breasts, place boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a medium skillet or saucepan. Add lightly salted water to cover and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer gently until chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the middle, 10 to 12 minutes. -- posted by Cooks4_6

Chicken a La Kelly

Posted: 01 Nov 2013 10:28 AM PDT

This recipe, originally called Chicken Elegante, was given to me by my roommate. She got it from her grandfather (the family calls it Chicken a la Dad), and since I got it from her, I call it Chicken a la Kelly. The recipe calls for a 750ml bottle of wine which will yield a large amount of gravy. I find the gravy to be delicious and serve it over rice, however you could probably use half to two-thirds of the bottle to make a sufficient amount of gravy. -- posted by MoonFallsDown

Slovak Egg Dumplings

Posted: 01 Nov 2013 10:35 AM PDT

We always made this to go with chicken pakrikash. It is very easy and it does taste good. We never had a recipe but I just measured the ingredients i used the last time I made the dumplings. I have my mother's dumpling maker. You can also use the back of a spoon (we used to use a tablespoon), Place the dough on a dinner plate, dip the back of the spoon in boiling water and push the dough in the boiling water. Keep dipping the spoon in boiling water as the spoon cools. -- posted by Jane from Ohio
