Seafood Gumbo

Ingredients:
<UL TYPE=SQUARE>1 cup all purpose flour
1-cup canola oil
2 onions, finely minced
2 tsp. minced garlic
1 Tbsp. chopped, dried parsley
1 tsp. dried thyme
1/2 tsp. celery salt
1/2 tsp. red pepper
2 bay leaves
1 (14.5 oz.) can crushed tomatoes
7 (14.5 oz.) cans chicken broth
Salt and pepper to taste
1 lb. frozen baby okra, sliced
1 lb. claw crabmeat, picked
2 lbs. shrimp, raw, peeled[/list]

Preparation:
The traditional method without cheating is to:
Prepare all vegetables, and have broth ready to pour, before you
begin the roux. I stir the spices/seasonings in with the veggies to
make it easier.

Start with the flour in a cold soup pot (at least 10qts.) and
slowly stir in oil over medium-low heat. STIR CONSTANTLY for an hour
till it turns the color (approximately) of peanut butter. If the roux
burns, pour it out and start over, otherwise it ruins the seafood!

Add vegetables, except okra, all at once. The mixture will steam up
and instantly thicken the roux. Stir together for about 5 more minutes
then slowly add the chicken broth. Put the crabmeat in to simmer after
you have added the chicken broth.

Rest your arm and have a libation. Slice up the okra and add it to
the pot (now it's officially gumbo). Let simmer on low heat for about
2 hours. Add the shrimp 20 -30 minutes before serving.

Hearty Bean and Vegetable Stew

Ingredients:
<UL TYPE=SQUARE>1 lb *assorted dry beans
2 cups vegetable juice
1/2 cup dry white wine (optional)
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup apple or pineapple juice
1/2 cup celery, diced
1/2 cup parsnips, diced
1/2 cup carrots, diced
1/2 cup mushrooms, diced
1 onion, diced
1 tsp basil, dried
1 tsp parsley, dried
1 bay leaf
3 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp black pepper, ground
1 cup rice or pasta, cooked
Vegetable stock or water[/list]

Preparation:
Rinse beans and then soak overnight in water.
Drain beans and place in crockpot. Add vegetable juice,
wine, soy sauce, and apple or pineapple juice. Cover
with vegetable stock or water; the amount added depends
on whether you prefer a soup (more liquid) or a stew
(less). The juice adds just a tad of sweetness and the
soy sauce adds depth and the tang of salt.

Cook on high for 2 hours. Add vegetables, herbs, and
spices, and cook for 5-6 hours on low until carrots and
parsnips are tender. When tender, add rice or pasta and
cook for one additional hour on low.

*For beans use 3 or 4 kinds, such as black, red kidney,
pinto, baby lima, lentil, and green and/or yellow split
peas. The more the merrier!

Baked Pasta
Serves: 4-6

Ingredients:
<UL TYPE=SQUARE>1 lb. large pasta like shells
1-3/4 cups ham cut in cubes
1-1/2 cups mozzarella cut in cubes
1 cup fresh ground parmesan
3 egg yolks
butter[/list]

For the Béchamel sauce:
<UL TYPE=SQUARE>24 fluid oz. milk
5 Tbsp. unsalted butter
2/3 cup flour
pinch of nutmeg
pinch of salt[/list]

Preparation:
First prepare the ingredients.Once you have everything ready put the
water on for the pasta and make the Béchamel sauce.
Start by warming the milk.In another pan melt the butter then add and
blend the flour for about 2- 3 minutes mixing constantly with a
wooden spoon. Use a low heat. Once the butter and flour are blended
add the milk a little at a time. Mix continuously with a wooden
spoon. Be certain to avoid lumping!When you've mixed in all the milk
grate a bit of nutmeg on top, just a dusting. Add a pinch of salt too.
Continue cooking the Béchamel, stirring constantly, until it thickens
and becomes smooth. Once the Béchamel is ready put it in a large
mixing bowl to cool down a bit. Add the pasta to the water and cook
it. It should be firm to the bite you don't want to cook it until
it's soft as it will continue to absorb liquids when you bake it.
When the pasta is about ready mix the mozzarella, ham, parmesan and
egg yolks into the Béchamel sauce. The drain the pasta well and add
it too.Now you can put it into your baking dish. Add some pieces of
butter on the top along with a sprinkle of parmesan.Bake in a oven
preheated to 375° for 20 to 25 minutes or until it starts to brown on
the top.

Navajo Chicken

Ingredients:
<UL TYPE=SQUARE>2 lb. chicken breasts, cut into half-inch cubes
4 Pasilla or Ancho chiles
8 California chiles
5 garlic cloves, minced
2 C. carrots, sliced
1 C. onion, sliced
2 C. mushrooms, sliced
1 C. corn
1 pinch pepper
1 pinch salt
1 pinch cumin
3 T. flour
3 T. cooking oil[/list]

Preparation:
The base sauce for this dish is made with a two-to-one
combination of California chiles and Pasilla or Ancho chiles .
Start by bringing three to four cups of water to a boil. Prepare
the peppers by removing stems. Add the peppers to the water
and cook for 10 to 15 minutes or until soft.

Puree the chiles and garlic in a blender, then strain into a pan
and add a pinch of cumin, a pinch of pepper and a pinch of
salt. Stir to mix. Bring the sauce to a medium-thick consistency
by slowly mixing in a flour slurry made up of three tablespoons
of flour mixed with 1/4 cup water.

In a small pan, brown the cubed chicken, carrots, mushrooms
and onions in three tablespoons of oil. Make sure the chicken
is browned evenly on all sides (this should take about ten
minutes). Remove all excess oil, stir in pureed ingredients, add
the corn, and let simmer for about 20 to 25 minutes. Taste for
flavor, and adjust seasonings as necessary. For more
spiciness, add jalapeño peppers.

Pesto

Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 0 minutes
Serves: enough for about one 1 lb (450g) of pasta
Cal: unknown

Ingredients
<UL TYPE=SQUARE>2 C (500ml) Whole Fresh Basil Leaves, firmly packed
can substitute some parsley if not enough
basil but the recipe needs to be mostly basil
2 cloves Garlic (can use more or less garlic to your taste)
1/2 C (125ml) Pine Nuts (can substitute unsalted pecans
or walnuts)
1/2 C (125ml) Parmesan Cheese, freshly grated
1/2 C (125ml) Romano Cheese, freshly grated
1/2 C (125ml) Extra Virgin Olive Oil
to taste Salt
to taste Ground Black Pepper[/list]

To make the Pesto, combine the basil leaves, garlic, and
pine nuts in a blender or food processor and puree to
desired smoothness. Do not over puree! You want the
consistence to be kind of a wet crumb look and you want
to be able to identify the ingredients.

Add the cheeses and blend briefly.

Poor in the olive oil and mix well.

Use immediately or store in covered glass jar in
fridge for up to a week. A skim of oil on the surface
will retard darkening of the sauce.

Pesto is traditionally tossed with trenette, a flat ribbon
pasta similar to linguine but fresh. Sometimes green beans
and sliced potatoes are cooked with the pasta, making the
dish more robust.

BBQ Ribs

Ingredients:
<UL TYPE=SQUARE>3 pounds short ribs (or chicken)
2 cups chicken broth
2 cups water, or enough to barely cover ribs
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup catsup
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper [/list]

Preparation:
THE DAY BEFORE GRILLING THE RIBS, put the sugar and vinegar
in a pot large enough to hold the ribs and place over medium
heat on top of the stove. Cook until the vinegar reduces and
forms a syrup with the sugar, about 8 minutes. Watch carefully
as the syrup will suddenly darken in color. Immediately add
broth, water, catsup, tomato paste, mustard, Worcestershire,
cloves, chili powder and pepper and bring to a boil. Add the
ribs and cook 20 minutes. (for chicken, cook for 10 minutes)
Remove from heat, remove the ribs from the liquid and place
covered in the refrigerator. Cook the liquid over medium heat
until it becomes thick and syrupy.

DAY OF GRILLING, Place the ribs on the grill so they are not
directly over the coals or flame and cover the grill so that
smoke collects inside. If your grill does not have a cover,
improvise one out of aluminium foil. Cook for 40 minutes,
basting with barbecue sauce every 10 minutes. When ribs are
well heated, remove to a platter and serve with extra sauce
on the side.

Crock Pot Taco Soup
Serves: 4 to 8 servings

Ingredients:
<UL TYPE=SQUARE>1- 2 pounds ground beef
1 onion, chopped
2 cans pinto beans
2 cans Rotel - the chopped kind
1 can whole kernel corn
1 package dry taco seasoning
1 package dry ranch dressing mix
grated cheese
Tostitos or other corn chips[/list]

Preparation:
In crock pot or other slow cooker, place beans, corn, Rotel, and
hominy (juice from cans, also). Add taco seasoning and dressing mix,
and stir well to mix.In a frying pan, cook meat and onions until meat
is cooked, then add to the crock pot and stir to mix. Add water until
the pot is full. Cook on high at least three hours. The longer you
cook this soup, the better it gets - and it's even better the second
day. It keeps great in the icebox for two or three days, covered.
To serve, place soup in bowls and top with the grated cheese; eat with
the corn chips.You can also cook this on the top of the stove in a
pot or even in a pressure cooker, but it's a great soup to put on in
the afternoon and have a quick supper later that evening.
