Gift Ideas for Guys: Simple Recipes for February Cooking

In summary, the Pampered Chef has some great suggestions for couples looking for recipes. There is a green chili frittata that is different but very good. There is also a skillet cookie that I have never heard of. The stir-fry demos are all great!

I am looking for simple ideas especially for the guys (many in this group don't cook). I have had some of the women at prior shows. It's in Feb so I am thinking cookware ideas but they have already seen the skillet cake. Isn't there a fritatta of some kind in the family skillet?

If you'll do a search for Couples, and one for Sexes or Battle, you will find a lot of suggested recipes and planning ideas. I remember I used one that DebPC had posted wayyyyy back, probably 2004. Excellent suggestions provided.
 
I think you're thinking of the green chili fritatta. I've heard of it but have not made it myself. If you want the recipe I can get it off of another website and post it for you.
 
Skillet recipesI've done the green chilie frittata a few times and really love it. It's different but very good. Great mor brunch or dinner
 
Green Chile FrittataThe Pampered Chef ®
Green Chile Frittata
Recipe


3 cups yellow corn tortilla chips (about 40 chips), coarsely crushed
11/2 cups salsa verde (green salsa)
1/2 lime
2 tablespoons snipped fresh cilantro
12 eggs
3/4 cup milk
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded Colby & Monterey Jack cheese blend, divided
1 medium onion, chopped
1 large poblano or green bell pepper, seeded and diced (about 1 cup)
1 small garlic clove, pressed
1 cup diced cooked chicken
1 plum tomato, sliced
Additional snipped cilantro, salsa and sour cream (optional)



Preheat oven to 350°F. Place tortilla chips in resealable plastic food storage bag; coarsely crush chips using flat side of Meat Tenderizer. In Classic Batter Bowl, combine crushed chips and salsa. Using Citrus Press, juice lime half into bowl; mix well using Classic Scraper and set aside.


Snip cilantro in Prep Bowl using Kitchen Shears. In Stainless (4-qt.) Mixing Bowl, combine cilantro, eggs, milk and 3/4 cup of the cheese. Whisk until well blended using Stainless Whisk. Add tortilla chip mixture to egg mixture; mix well.


Chop onion using Food Chopper. Dice poblano pepper using Chef's Knife. Heat Family (12-in.) Skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Spray skillet with vegetable oil using Kitchen Spritzer. Add onion, poblano pepper and garlic pressed with Garlic Press; using Chef's Tongs, cook and stir 2-3 minutes or until crisp-tender. Add chicken; stir well. Pour egg mixture carefully over ingredients in skillet. (Do not stir.) Place into oven; bake 22-25 minutes or until egg mixture is set in center. Carefully remove from oven to Stackable Cooling Rack using Silicone Oven Mitts.


Slice tomato using Ultimate Slice & Grate fitted with v-shaped blade. Arrange tomato slices in a circular pattern over top of frittata. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Let stand 5 minutes or until cheese is melted. Garnish with additional snipped cilantro, if desired. Cut into wedges using Nylon Slice 'N Serve® and serve with additional salsa and sour cream, if desired.

Cook's Tip: For a meatless meal, simply omit the chicken.

Poblano peppers are dark green chiles with a rich flavor that ranges from mild to slightly spicy. In general, the darker the pepper, the stronger the flavor. Poblanos are about 2 1/2 inches wide and 4-5 inches long, forming a triangular shape.

green salsa??I have not found green salsa. Is it really green or just called that? Any certain brand you have found?
Thanks,
Jenny
 
It really is greenGreen salsa should be located in your Mexican/Hispanic/Ethnic aisle at the store. My store has it right by the Pace Picante Sauce!

And yes you do need the green salsa!!

What about the skillet cookie? Or what about any of the stir-fry demos?? These are all great!
