Well-known member
a flyer I'm making for FK. One pie and one side dish should do it.

Please, pretty please? I'll give you full credit, promise!

Edited to add: it should be something I could legally reprint, like if you took a recipe from another source and tweaked it to make it your own.

 
We love this ad-free site! smileys/smile.gif Would you like the recipes posted to this thread or sent by PM to you

 
Here is a great T&T side-Timbale of Fresh Corn

This is from Julia Child & Co, Mimi- it is a side I make every Thanksgiving. Julia rings it with glazed brussel sprouts in her book- sometimes I do that, sometimes not. It is fabulous on its' own:

TIMBALE OF FRESH CORN
serves about 8

12 or more ears fresh corn (to make about 3 cups or 3/4 L cream-style grated corn)
6 eggs
2 to 3 tbsp grated onion
1 tsp salt
4 to 5 tbsp fresh minced parsley
2/3 cup lightly pressed down crumbs from crustless nonsweet white bread
2/3 cup lightly pressed down grated cheese (such as a mixture of Swiss and/ or Cheddar or mozzarella)
2/3 cup heavy cream
6 drops hot pepper sauce (or 1/8 tsp Cayenne pepper)
8 to 10 grinds fresh pepper

Use a straight-sided 8 cup baking dish (I use a 3 qt straight-sided saucepan and cover the handle with foil for baking) and you will need a larger pan, such as a large cake pan, that you can set the timbale inside- the larger pan will have water in it during baking.
Beat the eggs in a mixing bowl to blend; then add all the rest of the ingedients including the corn.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. About 2 hours before serving, butter the timbale pan and line the bottom with a round of buttered wax paper. Stir up the corn mixture to blend thoroughly and pour into the dish. Set corn dish in the larger dish and pour boiling water around it to come 2/3 up around the sides of the corn-filled dish. Bake in lower-middle of oven for 30 minutes, then turn oven down to 325 degrees. Baking time is around 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 hours. Timbale is done when it has risen almost to fill dish, the top has cracked open and a skewer plunged down through the center comes out clean. Let rest 10 minutes or more in turned-off oven, door ajar, before unmolding.

Balsamic Roasted Onions T&T

This is from BA 1999 and T&T by a lot of people.

I made it last Thanksgiving and people loved it.

Balsamic Roasted Onions from BA 1999:


4 pounds medium-size red onions
1/4 cup olive oil

6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) butter
3 tablespoons sugar
6 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Position 1 rack in center and 1 rack in bottom third of oven; preheat to 500°F.
Line 2 large baking sheets with foil.
Cut onions through root end into 3/4-inch-thick wedges.
Place in medium bowl; toss with oil.
Arrange onions, cut side down, on baking sheets.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Roast until onions are brown and tender, rotating pans in oven and turning onions once, about 45 minutes.

Meanwhile, melt butter in heavy small saucepan over medium-high heat.
Add sugar and stir until sugar dissolves.
Remove from heat. Add vinegar.
Return to heat. Simmer until mixture thickens slightly, about 2 minutes.
(Onions and balsamic glaze can be made 1 day ahead. Cool. Cover separately and chill.
Rewarm onions in 375°F oven about 15 minutes.
Stir glaze over low heat to rewarm.)

Arrange onions on platter. Drizzle glaze over. Sprinkle with parsley.

 
Well phooey, turns out the recipes I want to post have been published. Haven't tweaked yet to make

them mine. I'll work on that. ;o)

 
Me too Lisa...I absolutely love Martha's Sweet Potato Spoon Bread and Corn Pudding.

We once did an entire Martha Stewart Thanksgiving instead of making our own family recipes and it turned out to be the most delicious Thanksgiving meal ever (doesn't say much for our family recipes, does it!!). Now those two recipes in particular have become part of my Thanksgiving repertoire.

 
REC: Sweet Potato Spoon Bread

from Martha Stewart

Serves 8 to 10

3 large sweet potatoes
1/4 cup yellow cornmeal
2 cups milk
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup light-brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup honey
4 large eggs
1 cup heavy cream

1. Heat oven to 400°. Bake sweet potatoes until soft when pierced with a knife, 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool. Peel, and discard skins.

2. Reduce heat to 350°. In a medium saucepan over medium heat combine cornmeal, milk, butter, brown sugar, spices, salt, and 1 cup water. Cook, stirring, until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Let cool.

3. Butter a 2-quart baking dish. Place cornmeal mixture, sweet potatoes, flour, honey, eggs, and cream in a food processor. Process until smooth; pour into dish. Bake until golden brown, about 45 minutes. Serve.
