Roast: Jenn's Stuffed Pork Roast and Veggies | Submitted By: JENN_77

1 (4 pound) center cut pork roast, bone-in1/4 cup packed baby spinach7 dried pineapple pieces1 sprig fresh rosemary, chopped1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley1 teaspoon poultry seasoning1 clove garlic, chopped1 tablespoon garlic powder1 tablespoon onion powder1 teaspoon kosher salt1 teaspoon cracked black pepper1/4 cup butter, melted3 tablespoons olive oil, divided4 carrots, quartered3 Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and quartered1 onion, quarteredPreheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). With a kitchen towel or paper towels, pat dry the pot roast. Turn roast fat side up. With a paring knife, cut deep slits between each rib. Stuff each slit with spinach and dried pineapple. Wrap the roast with butchers' twine to hold the meat together. In a large bowl, stir together rosemary, parsley, poultry seasoning, garlic, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, cracked pepper, butter, and 1 1/2 tablespoons oil. Rub half of the mixture over the roast and inside the slits. Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons oil over high heat. Sear the roast, turning to brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer roast to a roasting pan fat side up; scatter carrots, potatoes, and onion around the roast. Pour remaining rub mixture over vegetables. Roast, uncovered, in a preheated oven for 2 1/2 hours, until the internal temperature of the roast reads 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Remove roast, cover with an aluminum foil tent, and let rest 20 minutes to 1/2 hour to ensure moistness. Slice along each rib, and serve with pan gravy.

The reviewer gave this recipe 5 stars. This recipe averages a 5.0 star rating. Reviewed on Nov. 2, 2010 by Jan   view full review I used a 2 lb. boneless pork roast and cut huge slits in it about 1 inch apart. I didn't have dried pineapple on hand, so I used raisins, which worked out well. I had a huge container of fresh spinach from Sam's Club, so I stuffed as much spinach as possible in each of the slits, along with the raisins from a snack size raisin box. Take note that the recipe contains no liquid. I added about 1/4 C of water to the roaster, but that wasn't enough. Two hours later I returned from running errands to find the smell of something burning. The vegetables were burned black and had to be discarded. However, the roast survived and tasted great. Be sure to add some sort of liquid, probably 1 cup would have done it, to the roaster of pork and vegetables in the oven- water/wine/broth/juice, etc. Perhaps sliced apples roasting with the pork roast would also be good. Great recipe, just needs some tweaking. Was this review helpful? [ YES ]

The reviewer gave this recipe 5 stars. This recipe averages a 4.3 star rating. Very smart base recipe! Polenta works wonderfully as a substitute for noodles, and makes the meal lighter and let the other ingredients used stand with their own flavors. I did mine in this order: layer of polenta, layer of pesto, layer of fresh spinach, layer of onions (1/2 of a white) and fresh tomatoes (about 7 romas), layer of ricotta cheese, layer of sauce, next layer of polenta,layer of mozzarella, then topped with pinenuts and fresh parmesean! It was fantastic and I may never eat noodle lasagna again! Was this review helpful? [ YES ]

Before assembling the lasagna, I sprayed the polenta with Pam and baked it for about 8 mins, then put it under the broiler for about 5 mins each side. That helped with the consistency, I think.

The reviewer gave this recipe 4 stars. This recipe averages a 4.3 star rating. Good base recipe. Made the first time exactly as recipe states. Wasn't too thrilled; the flavor was a bit too bland for my household's taste. Made again with the following changes and got a WOW from my bf: diced 1med onion and sweat in 2 tblsp olive oil. cook until translucent & add 2 tbsp minced garlic. cook for 2-3 minutes. Add 2lbs ground beef sirloin, parsley, salt and pepper and brown, drain excess. Add 15oz tomato sauce, 1 can peas, 1 can green beans, 1 can corn, mix together. Add flour and water mixture (2.5tblsp flour/4tblsp water), mix well. place into baking dish, top with colby jack or sharp cheddar cheese (I used about 1-2 cups) and then mashed taters (I did cheat and used boxed mashed potatoes that I doctored up with chives, garlic and onion powder) and cook for 20mins. take out and brush top with butter and milk and bake for 5 more minutes. Not sure if this can still be called shepherd's pie after my alterations, but we love it. Was this review helpful? [ YES ]

The reviewer gave this recipe 3 stars. This recipe averages a 4.5 star rating. Reviewed on Jan. 23, 2006 by RuthieBaby   view full review I agree that the amount of Bleu Cheese listed in this recipe is too much. I took one commenter's advice and just spread a thin layer of it on the pizza dough, which helped a lot. I also disliked how the Boboli crust tasted the first time, so I picked up some fresh (but uncooked) pizza dough at the bakery section in a local market. That tasted MUCH better. I do have one caveat, though, with this pizza, and perhaps someone can give me some useful advice. I've made this twice, and both times, a good quarter of an inch underneath where the cheese meets the bread is soggy, and this just adds an unpleasant texture to the meal. Is there a way to get around this? For instance, putting the chicken above the cheese as opposed to directly on the crust? If I could fix that one thing, it would definitely bump this recipe up to 5 stars because I love the taste of it. I'd appreciate any help anyone could give! Was this review helpful? [ YES ]

The reviewer gave this recipe 3 stars. This recipe averages a 4.6 star rating. Reviewed on Jul. 12, 2005 by darny   view full review Made this for the wife last night. I used brummel and brown yogurt spread stuff instead of butter, and low sodium Kikkoman soy sauce. I tasted the butter/soy sauce combo (I TATSE EVERYTHING!) before applying it to the salmon, it really was delicious. No need to brush the sauce onto the salmon, it's not thick like BBQ sauce. You can just pour it on. It's gonna run off anyhow. I coated the fish with lemon pepper, maybe i should have just lightly sprinkled. The recipe doesn't mention any flipping, so being a man obsessed with computers, photography and not cooking, I naturally didn't flip it either. It began to get black on the top after about 5 minutesin the broiler. I told my wife, and she asked me when I flipped it. HAHAHA So i flipped it. The blackened portion was actually tasty, the lemon pepper was lemony, and i enjoyed the fish. However, it came out of the pan with all kinds of unattractive blackness on it, and it was on the greasy side. I'm gonna try it again, changing the following: Unsalted butter instead of brummel less lemon pepper A dash of olive oil added to the butter/soy mix before applying to fish Was this review helpful?

I am giving them a 5 based on how they tasted with the changes I made, but I can't judge the original recipe, just the basic idea. I minced about 4 cloves of garlic and a small chunk of white onion, and mixed this with the parsley, salt, and pepper into ground turkey. Then I added the blue cheese as directed. I pan-fried with olive oil (I don't have a grill). They turned out really well, and reheated nicely in the microwave for lunch the next day. Also, we didn't eat them as hamburgers. We had them as is (no sauce or anything), with a side of vegetables, salad, and pasta. I've had beef burgers with blue cheese before, and I think it tastes too rich. The turkey really mellows things out, so that is why I chose it for this recipe. Also, I think that they would have been bland without the onion and garlic. Was this review helpful? [ YES ]

The reviewer gave this recipe 4 stars. This recipe averages a 4.4 star rating. Reviewed on Mar. 27, 2004 by RUSSIANBLUE   view full review Very good recipe, and very easy. The batter - fish - corn crumbs proportion should be changed, though. I used the same amount of batter for 2 lbs of fish, and still have some left (had to throw away). Next time I'll plan to cook at least 3 lbs of fish with this batter. The corn crumbs have to be used not all at once, but in small portions: take as many pieces of fish as you can cook at once in a deep-frier/skillet, dip in batter and then portion of corn crumbs, and cook; throw away the crumbs as they will be soggy and will no longer stick; replace with another portion of crumbs for the next fish portion, and so on. You will probably need more corn flakes then in the original recipe, but the crumbs guarantee to stick. Also don't be shy to increase seasoning to taste - for example, more pepper, more garlic and perhaps some cayenne pepper. Was this review helpful? [ YES ]

This recipe averages a 4.2 star rating. Easy enough to prepare, but not as flavorful as I would've liked. I followed the recipe exactly, but should've trusted my "scratches-head" instinct at only adding the soggy bread, and not using a breadcrumb/egg as binder. I like my meatloaf to stay together well enough when sliced that I can use it for sandwiches as leftovers, and this one was too crumbly for my liking. I enjoyed the funky change of using BBQ sauce, rather than ketchup or marinara, on top, so that got thumbs-up from the family, but otherwise, I think I'll go w/ a different recipe next go around.

Meatless Main Dishes: Crispy Barbequed Tofu Slices | Submitted By: JILLKEN

1 (16 ounce) package extra firm tofu3 tablespoons olive oil1 egg white1 tablespoon barbeque sauce1 cup all-purpose flour1 teaspoon salt1/2 teaspoon pepper1 cup barbeque sauceDrain tofu, and slice into strips. Place in a plastic bag or container, and freeze overnight. This will give the tofu a meatier texture. Thaw tofu strips, and blot with paper towels to dry. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg white and 1 tablespoon of barbeque sauce. Combine the flour, salt, and pepper in a separate bowl. Dip the tofu slices into the egg mixture, then into the flour mixture, shaking off excess flour. Fry in the hot oil for about 1 minute on each side, until golden brown. Just fry enough at one time so they are not crowded. Remove from the oil to paper towels to drain and cool. Preheat the oven's broiler. Brush tofu slices with additional barbeque sauce, and allow to marinate while the broiler heats up. Arrange them on a broiler pan, or wire rack set over a cookie sheet for best results. Position the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source. Broil for 5 minutes on each side, or until browned and crisp, watching closely so as not to burn them. Serve warm with the remaining barbeque sauce for dipping. Amount Per Serving  Calories: 404 | Total Fat: 17.2g | Cholesterol: 0mg Powered by ESHA Nutrient Database

The reviewer gave this recipe 5 stars. This recipe averages a 4.3 star rating. Reviewed on Jun. 4, 2007 by amy   view full review I work in food service in a natural foods store, and the trick to getting tofu firm, not mushy, is baking it first. We do that for all tofu we use. You just cut it how you want to, spray a baking sheet with oil, and bake on 375 for about 15 minutes, more depending on how firm and crispy you want it. Anyway, I baked it, coated it in the egg and bbq sauce mixture, rolled in flour mix and fried. It was great. Was this review helpful? [ YES ]
