Mediterranean Kale Salad Reviews
This is definitely the most time -consuming salad I have ever made, with the most amount of pots and pans used (3) While it was tasty, I dont feel like it was worth the effort. I did like the different textures and the dressing was pretty good, however it did need some salt and pepper to bring out the flavors. In relation to the other ingredients, there isnt a lot of artichokes, so you may want to adjust that. This does make a lot - I halved the recipe and had plenty for a main meal and two lunches.

Okra Stew With Shrimp Reviews
I personally had the urge to add more onion and I just had to add garlic. I couldnt see adding the corn as Im not very much of a corn lover. Its a great recipe.
MMM This was very good and unique I made the following changes: canned corn, 2 cans of diced tomatoes, petite salad shrimp, and omitted bay leaf and chile pepper. I did add red pepper for the spice This was very good Thanks
Disappointing. The vegetables were still cruncy - try cooking for 20 minutes before adding the shrimp. The flavors were a little uninteresting - probably could have used some garlic. I used canned corn, a large can of diced tomatoes, and more okra than the recipe called for, plus some red pepper flakes for some more heat.
Okra, shrimp and corn - what could be better This definitely has to have garlic in it, at least at my house. I used stewed tomatoes with chilis instead of fresh and threw in a little white wine because I liked the idea. The only thing wrong with the instructions was the part about "chill before serving". It tasted too good to wait that long
We love this recipe I change a few things though. We add summer sausage and chicken instead of shrimp. I also dice up a jalapeno or two and toss in the mix. I use onions instead of shallots and add an extra red bell pepper. After cooking it all up we serve it over rice...very tasty
As an old cajun living in south louisiana, this stuff is horrid.
Excellent I used canned tomatoes and that saved a lot of time. Garlic is a must. Enjoy
Very tastey. I added red pepper flakes for some real heat, and some leftover chicken breast.
Changed so many things around with this recipe, Im going to submit my own.
This is a phenomenal base to make your own - but I wouldnt have liked it nearly as much if Id just followed directions. I sauteed the onion and pepper in the soup pot with olive oil for about 10 - 15 minutes to get them lightly browned and tender, then dumped in 5 diced roma tomatoes, 1 1/2 cups okra, and a cup mixed veggies (in place of corn, since thats what I had open). I also added a healthy dash of tomato sauce (probably about 1/3 cup). I added the thyme and covered with a lid and let it simmer on low for about 15 minutes before seasoning with salt and pepper, a little more lime juice, a couple dashes of hot sauce, and about a TBS canned diced mild chiles in place of the called for green chile. Served over rice. I wouldnt call it stew - it was pretty thick without much excess liquid but so delicious. We were fighting over leftovers.
Awesome stuff, I changed it to mine but the main part is great.
