Guest guest Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 What are some good combinations of herbs/spices to use to season different things? (fish, turkey, chicken...) Thanks!

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 I like fresh thyme if I can get it on baked chicken. Garlic, lemon and salt seem to go on anything for me. (I only like catfish and shellfish--so lemon may not work with all fish imho lol). Sweet paprika for veggies or cayenne or just white pepper and sea salt. I like a whole roasted chicken in cinnamon--unfortunately everyone else in the house thinks I'm nuts ;-) Goes great with dripped yogurt. I love this site called Cooking for Engineers. Has a lot of information on cooking. I'm more a trial by error (insert error) so Marilyn, Mara and Misty, etc. will have much better advice for you!

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 Thyme - good on pork and chicken Rosemary - good on pork, chicken and beef Basil/Oregeno mixed is good on chicken I like to mix thyme and rosemary on chicken, pork and beef Some recipes. Since you don't tolerate onions, just leave them out. Chicken with herbs and fruit 1 onion chopped 3 apples, peeled, cored and sliced in thick chunks or a bunch of grapes 3 large chicken breasts with bone and skin on 6 cloves garlic minced salt/pepper 1/4 cup minced rosemary or thyme olive oil mix apples (or grapes) with onion, 1/2 the garlic, about 1/8 - 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/2 of the rosemary (or thyme), salt/pepper/red pepper flakes (whatever you like). lift the skin on the chicken, sprinkle salt/pepper/red pepper flakes and the remaining garlic and herbs. put the skin back in place and brush the skin with the remaining olive oil. add fruit mixture to a baking dish, arrange chicken on top, kinda push the chicken down into the fruit mixture so it kinda comes up the sides of the chicken. bake in a 350 degree oven until the chicken is done 45 min - 1 hour. you can broil the chicken for a couple minutes to get the skin crisp if you'd like. Steak: 1 pound thin steak 2 TBS chopped rosemary 2-3 slices legal prosciutto 2-3 slices provolone cheese salt/pepper/olive oil if your steak isn't thin, pound it until it is. cut into 2 or 3 strips. in the strip, salt and pepper the steak, sprinkle on rosemary, add a slice of prosciutto, a slice of provolone and rollup like a pinwheel. use toothpicks to secure the roll. brush olive oil on the outside and add a little more salt/pepper. in a hot cast iron skillet (my fave), brown the steak quickly on each side. put the steak in a 350 degree oven for about 3-5 minutes. remove of skillet and let rest 3 - 5 minutes before serving. the original recipe called for sage, but i didn't like the way sage and beef tasted. Pork chops: medium thickness pork chops 1 TBS chopped thyme 1 TBS copped rosemary oil/salt/pepper brush olive oil on chops, sprinkle both sides liberally with salt/pepper/thyme and rosemary. in a medium high skillet, brown both sides of the pork chop and put it in a 350 degree oven until done... about 10 minutes. my meat thermometer is my best friend for not overcooking food. chicken with squash bacon and rosemary 4 or 5 zucchini squash cut into discs (peeled if needed) 4 or 5 yellow squash cut into discs (peeled if needed) 1 large onion chopped 6 cloves garlic minced salt/pepper/red pepper flakes olive oil 1/4 cup rosemary chopped 6 chicken breasts about 10 slices bacon toss squash discs with onion, 1/2 of the rosemary, 1/2 of the garlic, salt/pepper/red pepper flakes (if you like it a lil spicy), and about 1/8 cup olive oil. Brush olive oil on both sides of chicken breasts. sprinkle both sides with salt/pepper/rosemary and garlic. take a piece of bacon and wrap it around the chicken on a diaganol. you'll need about 2 pieces per chicken breast. make sure the bacon completely surrounds the chicken. place in a 350 degree oven until the chicken is done. about 20 - 30 minutes. remove chicken and continue cooking squash for a total cooking time of 1 hour. hope these help alyssa. it makes a lot of food so i'm able to eat on it for a few days or freeze it.
