Yesterday I cooked some Albacore tuna steaks. Salt and pepper steaks (I just used Lawry’s Seasoned Salt), then sear them in a pan with lots of olive oil (maybe a minute per side). Stick them in the oven at 350F for desired amount of time (I kept them in there for 10 minutes and they were cooked a bit over medium … I was aiming for medium rare, though.) Meanwhile, chop up some roma tomatoes, kalamata olives, and garlic. Toss them around in a pan with some olive oil. Pour in some white wine (or whatever alcohol of choice - something like Woodchuck apple cider works too) and simmer until most of it’s evaporated. Serve steaks covered with tomato/olives mix. Yum. ---

[/QUOTE] I don’t normally like cinnamon, but this just goes to show. Used right, pretty tasty. My SO hates all things rosemary, but I’ve hit her with a couple recipes wherein I think it’s used right, and she’s all “ooh, that’s good!” Personally, I hate anise, but I’ve run across a few recipes which use it to good effect. ---

No-Brainer Chicken and Dumplings A package of boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts. If you use breasts, cut each one into thirds. Flour Poultry seasoning or your favorite combo of sage, thyme, whatever A bag of frozen vegetables for soup A can of cream of chicken soup (fat-free works great) A can of chicken broth Bisquick or similar Celery seed Milk Dredge the chicken in a little flour and poultry seasoning. In a deep skillet or dutch oven, brown the chicken in a little fat of your choice – vegetable spray, canola oil, butter, whatever. When the chicken is browned, add the frozen veggies and the chicken soup and broth to the pan. Stir things around a bit to distribute the broth and soup. The liquids don’t need to be totally blended. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 5-7 minutes. Follow the recipe on the Bisquick box for dumplings or make a loose biscuit dough if you’re using something besides Bisquick. BUT – add a couple of teaspoons of celery seed to the dry mix before you add the milk. Use a regular ol’ spoon (not a teaspoon measure) to drop teaspoons of dough onto the simmering liquid. Cook UNCOVERED for ten minutes then cover and cook for ten more. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/post-a-recipe-thread/428361.md?page=1)
