A robust flavoured Trinidadian side dish or vegetarian spread for flatbreads. I don't usually add pepper to this as I think the flavour is intense enough. If not using a non- stick pan increase the oil...

I like to eat this on a roast beef sandwich! I also like to dip chips and crackers into this as well as french fries. I would double it (at least) for a party and serve with crackers. Use light sour cream...
This is basically a puree or spread made of poached salt cod. Having said it that simply, let me just say that this is one of my most favourite dishes - the ingredients combine to create flavour-perfection....
Very deep dark brown color and spicy sweet. I had several recipes - started taking parts I liked from each and came up with this combination that my family loves.
I made these for an appetizer evening and they were a big hit. The shells can be made ahead of time and frozen which is great for cutting your prep time on the big day. This looks especially festive at...
This is an awesome and delicious appetizer for a last minute preparation/invitation for a party or picnic. Or make ahead for your pre-planned gathering. Chill until served.

Having been to Israel numerous times and having tried hummus all over the country, I find this hummus recipe pretty close to what you would find there. To save time, I use canned garbanzo beans, but friends...
This comes from the Williams-Sonoma Bride & Groom cookbook. The recipe didn't state regular or unsalted butter, so I used regular and found it too salty, but my husband loved it. So, if you love salty...

Like Zaar needs another hummus recipe.......But-this is different cause it's made from butterbeans (Lima beans) instead of the usual chickpeas. Found the recipe on the net a while back and have made it...
I made these a few years ago and they were a hit. Great on crackers with cheese or on sandwiches...anyway you want to eat them. You will need a wide-mouth jar to store them such as an old Mason jar. The...

The base hummus recipe is one of my favorite recipes from Mark Bittman's, How To Cook Everything. One day I realized that I didn't have enough olive oil so used the oil from a jar of marinated artichoke...
This is a quick and easy spread. Make up to 2 days before needed. I got this recipe from my sister. Where she found it, I don't know. I make this recipe for parties, family gatherings, and picnics.
A change from garlic toast. You need to at least "like" anchovies for this one! Serving size depends on how thick or thin you spread the mixture on each slice of bread.
This is absolutely a "labor of love" and people really do appreciate it, especially after they taste it. I have made this for about 35 years having the recipe only in my head and just knowing when it was...
I had tuna, but none of the usual ingredients I mix in. I found pesto in the back of the fridge. It's unusual I know, but we really liked the flavour combination, even my husband who hates trying new things...
