Gift Ideas for Guys: Simple Recipes for February Cooking

[Princess_Buttercup]

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.

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.
