I tried this one and it only let me select 4 ingredients I *want* and then
came up with nothing. I'm pretty sure I can make a main dish with of rice,
smoked sausage, canned tomatoes, onion. I couldn't say I have garlic. But
the other site doesn't let me specify sausage, just "pork". I'm in the same
boat you are so I'll just have to get creative.

The other thing you can do is go to Google and search for the 4 or 10 or
whatever ingredients you have. The results will surprise you.

example I put in salmon tomato basil and got:

Pan-Seared Salmon with Tomato-Basil Sauce
Serve this delightful salmon on a bed of fresh pasta for an elegant, simple
meal.
4 large tomatoes, peeled and seeded*
4 (4-6-ounce) salmon fillets
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
Place peeled and seeded* tomatoes in a blender or food processor. Process until
a chunky purée is formed; set aside.
Season salmon with salt and pepper.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Melt butter and when foam subsides,
place salmon, skin-side up in pan. Brown on both sides, until fish is just
cooked through, about 6 minutes, depending on thickness of fillets. Transfer to
plate and hold warm.
In same skillet, combine puréed tomatoes and wine and bring to a boil, scraping
any browned bits off the bottom. Simmer until slightly reduced, and sauce is
desired consistency. Stir in basil. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
Place salmon on individual serving plates and pour sauce over the top. Serve
immediately.
Makes 4 servings.
*To peel and seed a tomato, lightly score an 'x' into the bottom end with a
sharp paring knife. Drop into boiling water for 30 seconds, or until skin just
begins to tear. Remove with a slotted spoon into ice water. When cool enough to
handle, peel off skin, cut in half and gently squeeze to remove seeds. Proceed
with recipe.

Jill,

If you use AND between ingredients you can get pretty specific:

rice AND smoked sausage AND garlic

tomatoes AND onion

turned up a jambalaya recipe. But it has chicken too, so you could put
chicken in the "Ingredients I don't want"

You get the idea.

All the best,
