Salmon Spread

Living in the Pacific Northwest, there is never a shortage of salmon, so I am always looking for new and innovative recipes that utilize the fish. Here is a great salmon spread for crackers or rye bread that you can make in your food processor or blender.

Ingredients:

¼ cup fresh parsley
1 small onion
16 ounces of salmon filet
8 ounces of cream cheese
3 tablespoons of lemon juice
1 tablespoon horseradish
2 teaspoons dill
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 dash Tabasco sauce.
Salt and Pepper

Directions:

Mince parsley in the food processor, then set aside in a small bowl.  Mince the onion, and then add the remaining ingredients, turning the processor on and off until well blended, then stir the mixture until it becomes smooth.  Transfer the pate to a small bowl, and refrigerate overnight.  Sprinkle with parsley before serving.

Modern Kitchen Gadgets

I am one who will never tire of kitchen gadgets.  When shopping, I am always drawn to stores that sell small kitchen appliances.  I have always thought about why I am so attracted to these stores.  I realize that one reason is because they always have something new.  It could be a revolutionary new gadget I have only seen now, or a new form or presentation of one that I had been using for years. I find it such fun to discover new things.

The store that sells small kitchen appliances is also a good place to get gifts for your friends. Who would not love a blender, food processor or mixer? She might already have a coffee maker, cooker or steamer, but new designs look so modern, so up-to-date.

Puree of Fennel

Author: Fresh_Foods

I’ve been on a health kick of late and wanted to pass along a delicious recipe I’ve been putting into heavy rotation – no pun intended. It combines two of my favorite things: fennel and the food processor. I adore fennel for its rich, aromatic nature and the way it spices up even the blandest of dishes. And there’s no disputing its health benefits, either – the herb contains 20 percent of your recommended daily Vitamin C intake.

Ingredients:
4 fennel bulbs
1 russet potato
2 cloves garlic
2 cups skim milk
4 cups chicken broth
3 Tsp. parmesan cheese
1 Tsp. salt
¼ tsp. black pepper
2 Tsp. chopped mint leaves

Directions:
1. Cut the fennel in half, then slice it into thin strips. Peel potato and slice thinly. Plop the fennel, potatoes, broth, garlic and milk in a pot over heat. Simmer and cook until fennel and potatoes have softened. Should take 30 minutes or more.
2. Drain and place fennel mix in food processor and set to puree. Add the cheese, salt and pepper and mix some more. Next, put the mint and process some more. Add salt and pepper to taste, then serve.
