Here is the recipe im translating from French to English.

SALADE D'HIVER (WINTER SALAD)

5 1/4 cups diced tomatoes
3 cups chopped onions
5 1/4 cups chopped celery
1 red or green pepper, chopped (i used red for colour)
1/2 cup coaarse salt
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup vinegar
3 tbsps mustard seed

Mix tomatoes, onions celery and pepper tohether. Add the coarse salt to the vegetables. Mix everything together. Pour into a cheesecloth (or something like that: i used 2 metal colanders) and leave suspended overnight for the liquid to drain.

In a pot, mix the vinegar, sugar and mustard seed. Boil just until the sugar is incorporated into the mixture.

Make sure your pots are sterilized. Fill your jars with the vegetables. Add the boiling mixture into your jars. Cover and let stand in the fridge or in a cool place.

I'm uncomfortable creating a new thread so I'll piggy back on the one @Anna Michele created long ago in 2013.
Time flies when you search recipes online!

The recipe today is a Red Spicy Chili Oil that you make and can store in the fridge for up to 6 months.
Very versatile to use an any stir fry dishes or can be added to your favourite homemade hummus.

This fellow

( I just subscribed to his cooking channel ) caught my eye with his peanut butter Udon noodle recipe.
Then I traveled along to find out how to make the Red Spicy Chili Oil that goes into that recipe.
Then I printed out the Saffron Risotto recipe because DROOL!

I am not eating carbs atm, BUT my DS loves many Asian and ethnic dishes and has such a wide ranging palette, I know he'd be up to trying any of these recipes.

Started fine dicing the veggies around 5:30 a.m. This seemed to take forever because I like each to be rolled up and squeezed dry on paper towel.
In a separate large bowl I mixed together cream cheese, plain Greek yogurt, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, 2 packets Old El Paso Taco seasoning
and cayenne pepper. Spread this into bottom of glass casserole, poured liquid taco sauce over. Pressed shredded Tex Mex + Balderson's cheeses over
sauce.
We keep the diced veggies separate, adding them as a topping on our individual servings. That way the dip never turns runny.
This oversized Appy will be for Saturday....lots of hockey games on!!

DH eats his with Breton crackers, while DS and I use Tostitos Scoops!

It happened again! Canadian Living sends me these things like " our favourite chickpeas recipes " and I'm down their rabbit hole quicker than a bunny!

I made myself just ONE small sweet potato to try out this chickpea recipe. So good!

https://www.canadianliving.com/food/...sweet-potatoes

I reduced the ingredients to match up with my little sweet potato but the thing I loved the most was BOTH the
spicy roasted chickpeas and the Quick Pickled Red onion topping. ( I used Shallots instead of Red Onion ) .
These items piled on top of the Greek yogurt which is over the potato gives it a real Restaurant feel!

yep! It's nacho layered dip time again! This time I went rogue! Bottom layer of the cream cheese mixture included 2 pkgs of
Boursin cheese, 1 Philly cream cheese, 1 tub of Gay Lea Gold ( the thickest ) sour cream, lemon juice, Worcestshire sauce,
2 packets Old El Paso Taco dry seasoning, extra sprinkle of cayenne. Second layer was a bottle of mild liquid taco sauce.
3rd layer was 1 can of Stagg chili, 4th layer was Tex Mex grated cheese. The small diced mixed veg I keep in a separate container
as we all sprinkle our own on the dip when we load up the Tostito chips. It turned out very tasty time time with the can of chili!
