It's my turn to cook tonight and I'm making this

Pea Rice <...>

Beef Patty <...>

Eggplants <...>


The above are family recipies so who knows if it's going to be overseasoned or not to your liking. I like it though

These look superb; thank you very much indeed, Destinie

Chicken Parmigiana

6 chicken fillets (or 3 chicken boneless breasts, halved and pounded thin)
1/4 cup olive oil + a few reserved tablespoons
Dash of salt and black pepper
3-4 medium-sized garlic cloves
2 cups tomato sauce (I doctor it up with garlic, onion, parm-reggiano cheese, mushrooms, whatever I have)
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
Tablespoon dried oregano
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese

1. Chop the garlic and mix it into the olive oil. Marinate the chicken in this mixture for about an hour, turning the pieces after about 30 minutes. Make sure you get garlic on both sides.

2. Make the tomato sauce. As I said, you can use plain but it's much better if you add onion, garlic and stuff to flavor it more.

3. Mix the breadcrumbs, oregano and salt and pepper together on a plate.

4. Coat the chicken with the breadcrumb mixture.

5. Pour the remaining olive oil marinade in a cast iron skillet and heat to medium highish. Brown the chicken on both sides--usually about 5 minutes per side for fillets, which are fairly thin.

6. Preheat the oven to about 350 degrees.

7. Coat a baking pan with the reserved olive oil and place the chicken in the pan. Cover each piece with tomato sauce then with a slice (or a few tablespoons shredded) mozzarella.

8. Cover the pan with foil and bake about 20 minutes, then remove the foil and bake another 5 or so till the cheese browns a bit.

This is especially good with salad and Bruschetta.

Bruschetta

6-12 slices Italian bread (or baguette works fine too)
olive oil to coat the bread lightly
salt and pepper
finely chopped garlic
fresh rosemary or basil (optional)
thinly sliced tomato
parmigiana-regiano or asiago cheese

Brush the bread with olive oil and sprinke on spices, herbs, and garlic. Place a few slices of tomato on each slice, then sprinkle the grated cheese on top. (You can also add chopped black olives to this). Broil for a few minutes until the tomato browns.

Just make sure everyone eats the garlic or plan not to get too close.

Spring Crepe
Kind of simple, perfect for the season.

the crepe
4 eggs
2 dl flour
2 dl milk

the filling
1 dl creme fraiche and 1/2 dl mayonnaisse
(cottage cheese, salt and apple cider vinegar for the health freaks)
flour
spring onions
dill
chive
green pesto
parmessan


* Mix eggs milk and flour in a bowl, heat a pan and make...well...regular thin crepes.

* heat and mix creme fraiche and mayo, stir in flour until it has a nice stew-consistency.

* chop up the greens, and fry swiftly in the pan, just until they get some yellow-ish color, then add to stew-imitation.

* add one teaspoon of pesto, stir, and let it simmer for five minutes.

* put on crepes, fold or roll after your own fashion and put in a greased baking pan

* grate lots of parmessan and let it rain like snow all over the kitchen, preferrably ontio the crepes.

* Put in oven 200 C from ten mins.

Enjoy with friends and a nice bottle o white.

Re: Re: Grilled Corn

I became spoiled for anything but perfectly fresh corn, back when my dad used to grow a garden. It's full of sugar when it's just picked, and immediately the sugar begins to turn to starch. By the time it gets to the supermarket, it's too late to salvage.



Next time it's in season in South Florida, I will force some farmer to let me set up a grill right there in the field. Thank you for the reminder.

We used to spend summers in Dairy Farm country and had a friend who had quite the 'hobby farm'. In the summer at dinner time he would tell his cook about an hour before he expected to eat that it was 'ok to go pick the corn'.

We now live in the boonies and there is nothing like picking up fresh picked corn on the way home for dinner.

I wanted to make curried goat I'm going to have to go to Jam. queens and get some goat because last time I went to the market in manhattan and tried to obtain a little goat meat the butcher just stared at me.

Fresh picked corn is one of the best things about summer, I've always wanted to try it roasted like Dr. M has done.

The nicest thing about living in Deliverance country is the little roadside stands the farmers put up this time of year. Fresh vegetables basically anytime you want them.

And fresh, warm, boiled peanuts. Damn, my mouth's watering now.

Living above the Mason/Dixon line I'm new to catfish, I've tried it but is it supposed to taste like the bottom of the river??

how could you not have had catfish
It tastes great if cooked right (in clean oil as opposed to smelly fish grease.) edited to add frying isn't the only way but it's my fav

Will sweet potato casserole work?

Blackeyed peas are great with chow-chow, but unless your granny or something makes it, it's hard to find.

 

[destinie21]

I know how to make a dish with black eyed peas okra, sausage and onions or just the plain king of BEP with hamhocks or smoked turkey.

I can make sweet potato pie

Sweet Potato Pie with Three-Nut Topping

I have added a topping of walnuts, hazelnuts and almonds it's not a requirement though
Crust
1/3 cup walnuts, toasted
1/3 cup hazelnuts, toasted
1/3 cup almonds, toasted
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Filling
18 ounces sweet potatoes
3 large eggs
3 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/2 cup whipping cream

Topping
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1/4 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons honey
1/3 cup whole almonds, toasted
1/3 cup whole hazelnuts, toasted
1/3 cup walnuts, toasted

For Crust: Coarsely grind all nuts in processor. Blend in graham cracker
crumbs, sugar and pumpkin pie spice. Add butter and blend in using on/off
turns until moist crumbs form. Press crumbs onto bottom and sides of 9-inch
deep-dish glass pie dish. Set aside.
For Filling: Preheat oven to 350 F. Bake sweet potatoes until tender, about
1 hour. Cool potatoes; peel. Puree in processor. Transfer to bowl and whisk
in eggs. Cook butter in heavy medium skillet over medium heat until melted
and brown. Add sugar, honey and pumpkin pie spice and boil 1 minute,
stirring constantly. Whisk in cream. Add butter mixture to potato puree;
blend until smooth.
Pour filling into crust. Bake until center moves only slightly when pan is
shaken, covering with foil if crust browns too quickly, about 40 minutes.
Meanwhile, Prepare Topping: Stir first 3 ingredients in heavy medium
saucepan over low heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat and boil 1
minute. Mix in nuts, coating completely.
Spoon hot nut mixture over pie. Continue baking until topping bubbles, about
5 minutes. Transfer to rack and cool completely.

Wish I did, sweetie, I'd certainly share.

You can probably find a recipe for chow-chow somewhere on the 'net. Just make sure its a true southern recipe. It's a hot-pepper relish that's just wonderful.

Another good way to eat them is with hot-pepper vinegar. Just a little, or you'll be begging for water for three days.

Chow-chow I can get, it's big with the Pa. dutch up here. have to copy the Sweet potato pie recipe, sans the hazlenuts, can't do em.

 

[destinie21]

lol girl I can make chow chow but I don't have a recipie nor do I follow one for making "monkey stew." for whatever reason that's the name my Nana has for the sausage okra and beans. Any way usually I buy about a pond and a half of ground turkey sausaked and fry it up in an old cast iorn skillet I season it with pepper and seasoning salt. The beans which ought to have been presoaked go in the crock pot to cook (I do the sausage when they are nearly done after simmering the entire day on low.) Then I put onions in the meat and fry it for a while. The okra if fresh should be added 20 minutes before serving time if frozen a half hour. Straight in with the beans. then the meat and onions. I serve it over yellow rice sometime curried sometimes not

 

[RenzaJones]

Chow Chow is that what your Nana damn near killed me with? I don't know how you eat that I was tearing up for a week, but hey my sinuses have never been clearer

 

[cloudy]

Maybe it's an acquired taste? Of course, I eat jalapenos like pickles, too.

I don't like living down here, but I think I would really, really miss the food.

Kid is lovely, better than good lamb.

Cantdog. It's a lumberman's tool. In my neck of the woods you can move the fallen trees with it. Saw it down, limb it, and then shift it with a cantdog. You used them on the river drives, too. Pike poles and cantdogs and booms to move 'em, and dynamite to clear the jams if it got too hairy.

I've been on the 'net a reasonably long time, and I've used the handle since the beginning. Every time my ISP got SIDS, I could go anywhere and they wouldn't have anyone already using it.

Heavy wooden handle with a very serviceable dog at the end.
