Tortellini Alfredo

October 15, 2020 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

I love fettuccine Alfredo. Who doesn’t? But then, you could really use any type of pasta you like and pair it with creamy Alfredo sauce. I especially like to use tortellini when making pasta Alfredo, since it’s firm and holds up to the thick sauce well.  Ingredients: 8 Tbs (1 stick) good quality unsalted butter ½ pint (1 cup) heavy cream 1 package frozen or fresh … [Read more...]

Surf & Turf Fried Rice

October 8, 2020 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

Here’s the deal: My wife really likes ham fried rice. I prefer shrimp. The solution: Surf & Turf Fried Rice using both shrimp and ham! It’s surprisingly good - the best of both worlds.  Ingredients: Cooked long-grain white rice or jasmine rice — 1 1/2 cups uncooked. I usually cook the rice in the afternoon and let it dry a bit before using it for dinner. Leftover rice … [Read more...]

Chile Con Carne

October 2, 2020 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

There are about as many different chili recipes as there are people who make it. This is my favorite. That said, please note that I put beans in my chili. For some people (Texans), that is sacrilege. Different strokes … So, technically this should be called Chile con Carne y Frijoles.  Also, I like to use a combination of ground beef and pork in my chili - I think the pork … [Read more...]

August 28, 2020 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

Here is a simple shrimp dish that is super tasty with a bit of heat from spices and fresh chili peppers. It’s also quick and easy - you can make it in about 20 minutes.

Shoyu Chicken

August 20, 2020 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

A very popular and delicious Cantonese dish is Shoyu (soy sauce) Chicken. It’s very easy to make and the emphasis is on the technique of very gently cooking the chicken. Give it a try!    Ingredients: 1 whole chicken, 3-4 lbs. (or you could use cut-up pieces) 2 tsp. sesame oil 2 tsp. canola or peanut oil 4-5 cloves garlic, peeled and lightly mashed to release the … [Read more...]

Creole Catfish Recipe

August 13, 2020 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

Here is a really simple method for cooking Creole style blackened catfish on the grill. One benefit of cooking the fish in a pan on the outdoor grill is that you won’t set off the smoke alarms indoors. Ingredients: 2-4 catfish fillets, patted dry with paper towels - figure one fillet per person ½ cup butter, melted 2 Tbsp (or more to taste) Creole seasoning such as … [Read more...]

The Comforts of Home – Global Comfort Food Recipes for the Home Cook

August 7, 2020 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

As I’m sure is the case with many Utah Bites readers, I’ve been spending a lot more time in my kitchen lately. That’s partly out of necessity since it was impossible to eat out in restaurants during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. But I’m also choosing not to spend very much time in restaurants these days, even though some have reopened. I just feel safer at … [Read more...]

Bison Tacos

August 6, 2020 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

I really love tacos and I love that flavor of lean bison meat. So, this bison taco recipe was a no-brainer. Of course, you could use ground beef if you’d prefer.    Ingredients: 2 Tbsp olive oil 1 lb. ground bison meat (or substitute lean ground beef) 1/2 onion, minced 3 cloves garlic, minced 1 Tbsp mild red chile powder 1/4 tsp ground cumin 1/4 tsp … [Read more...]
