Warcraft: Sauteed Carrots
Sautéed Carrots
A recipe from Halfhill
I liberated these babies from my dad’s garden. Thanks dad!
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 large clove garlic, minced
2 carrots cut into strips
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper
2 teaspoons lemon juice
Serves two.
In a medium nonstick frying pan, heat 1 1/2 tablespoons of the oil over moderately low heat. Add the garlic, carrots, sugar, salt, the pepper. Cook, covered, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.
Uncover the pan. Raise the heat to moderate and cook, stirring frequently, until the carrots are very tender and beginning to brown, about 8 minutes longer.
Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons oil and the lemon juice.
Yum!
Anduin Wrynn’s Favorite Mac and Cheese
You will need:
16 ounce box of shell shaped noodles
8 ounces of Velveeta cheese, sliced
3/4 c milk
1/2 stick butter
In a large pot, put 6 cups of water on medium heat till it starts to boil. I Add a tablespoon of olive oil to the water to prevent sticking.
Once the water starts to boil, add the noodles.
Boil until softened.
Drain.
Put pan back on stove top and turn heat to low. Add milk and butter to pan, then noodles.
Place cheese on top. Stir until cheese is melted. Remove from heat and let sit for 5 minutes so cheese can thicken.

Five Dawn Dumplings
dumpling dough
2c flour
1/2 c water
Mix until combined then knead for 5 minutes.
Add a tablespoon of water at a time if needed.
Let rest for 10 minutes.
Knead for another 5 minutes then roll out on a lightly floured surface.
Using a round cookie cutter or a glass cut into circles.
Filling:
1lb ground beef
1lb pork (I used chicken)
2 cellery stocks, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
1/2 tsp ginger
1/4 c soy sauce
1 clove of garlic, minced
Mix the ground beef and chicken in a bowl. Add soy sauce, celery stocks, onion and ginger; mix well.
Place meat mixture into a skillet and brown. Chop the meat up as small as you can.
By tablespoon add the meat mixture into the center of the dough circle.
Fold top and bottom together and pinch.
Set up a steamer. Dont have one? Don’t worry. Here is how I made mine.
I used a soup pot and a trivet. I put water in the bottom of the pan and place the trivet over the water.
Cover and place on medium heat, steam for 10-15 minutes.
Conjured Cinnamon Rolls
You will need:
Dough:
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup margarine, softened
3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 (.25 ounce) package instant yeast
1/4 cup white sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup water
1 egg
Filling:
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup margarine, softened
1/2 cup raisins (optional)
Heat the milk in a small saucepan until it bubbles, then remove from heat.
Mix in margarine; stir until melted. Let cool until lukewarm.
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 1/4 cup flour, yeast, sugar and salt; mix well.
Add water, egg and the milk mixture; beat well. Add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring well after each addition. It is the heat that causes the yeast to wake up and start raising.
When the dough has just pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth, about 5 minutes. Don’t worry if you are having trouble getting the dough to “pick up” the last of the flour. It will while you are kneading it.
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let rest for 10 minutes.
I also made a light glaze
1/4 cup of milk
1/2 cup powdered sugar
Let the rolls cool before glazing or it will just run off.
Heaven Peach Crisp
I gathered up some Heaven Peach’s from a vendor in Darnassus. I highly recommend them, they are delicious just as they are or in a crisp or a cobbler.
You will need:
Garrosh Hellscream’s Lemon Squares
Blackened Dragonfin
Heat a pan on medium heat.
Dip the thawed fillet into the melted butter completely covering it and coat with the mix of spices.
Add 2 tbs butter to hot pan and add fish.
2 minutes on each side.
Now I have to warn you. There is A LOT of smoke. You are essentially burning the spices and searing the fish. So please, open some windows and put a fan facing out. I now know why most of the recipes for anything blackened involved a grill and the great outdoors.
This is so good but it does have a kick to it. If you are looking for something not to mouth-numbing omit the red pepper flakes.
Need MORE of a kick? Add Cayenne Pepper.
Have a Ice Cold Milk at the ready & good luck.
Firecracker Salmon
You will need:
2 tbs (30 ml) lemon juice
2 tbs (30 ml) chili sauce
2 tbs (30 ml) packed brown sugar
1-1/2 garlic cloves, minced (I used dried, 7 ml or 1/2 tbs)
1 tbs (15 ml) minced fresh parsley (dried)
1/2 tbs (7 ml) ginger
1/8 tbs (5 ml) cayenne pepper
1/8 tbs (5 ml) crushed red pepper flakes (optional, I did not use them in mine.)
In a small bowl, combine the vinegar, chili sauce, sugar, garlic, parsley and seasonings.
This is what is will look like mixed together.
Take your salmon flanks and place them into a baking dish.
Pour over salmon bake in 350 degree F (175 degrees C) oven for 15-20 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork, brushing occasionally with sauce.
Helboar Bacon BLTs
You will need:
6 Thick cut bacon slices — the B
2 Lettuce leaves — the L
1 Large tomato, sliced — the T
4 Slices of bread, any kind
 |
| The best Helboar is a sliced Helboar. |
This is a fun easy one for any summer WoW get together. BLT’s straight from the Hellfire Peninsula. (Watch out for tunnelers.) I should open a stand in Shattrath City.
Cook Helboar Bacon until browned and crispy.
Layer the B, the L & the T in between to slices of toasted bread. Use mayo of desired.
