I made a big crock pot full of this, for a pot luck supper an thought I'd pass it on to you all. On the Atlantic coast of the Carolinas we have a Vinegar based BBQ sauce and we make Pulled Pork as opposed to Sliced or Shaved sandwiches.

We also have two kinds of slaw that we put on them. Vinegar based and Creamy.

I'm including the recipe for the sandwich and for the sweet and sour slaw.

Slow Cooker Carolina Pulled-Pork Sandwiches

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 12
Categories :

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ -------------- ------------------
1 3 lb boneless pork shoulder blade roast
1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon kosher (coarse) salt
1 tablespoon pepper
1 tablespoon paprika
2 cups cider vinegar
1 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon red pepper sauce
12 Kaiser rolls, split
1 pint (2 cups) coleslaw with sweet-and-sour
dressing

1. Spray 3- to 4-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Trim fat from
pork; place in cooker. In small bowl, mix brown sugar, salt, pepper
and paprika; rub over pork.

2.In medium bowl, mix remaining ingredients except rolls and
coleslaw; pour into slow cooker.

3. Cover; cook on Low heat setting 8 to 9 hours.

4. Remove pork from cooker; place on cutting board. Shred pork with
2 forks; return to cooker and mix well.

5. Using slotted spoon, spoon about 1/2 cup pork mixture, on bottom
half of each roll. Top each with about 2 tablespoons coleslaw. Cover
with top halves of rolls. Pork mixture can be kept warm on Low heat
setting up to 2 hours; stir occasionally.

Tip :

Topping a pulled pork sandwich with slaw is a Southern tradition.
There are different types of slaw–this uses the non-creamy dressing
style.

We call for Kaiser rolls in the recipe but feel free to use your favorite
kind of buns.

David:

I dearly love all pulled pork, no matter where it comes from. I have a couple of containers in the freezer now that just needs heated and sauced! Your recipes sound great.

Sweet-Sour Slaw

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 12
Categories :

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ ------------- ------------------
1 tablespoon white sugar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon mustard powder
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon celery seeds (not celery salt)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil (corn oil or salad oil mix are good choices)
1/4 cup distilled white vinegar (not cider vinegar)
1 pound green cabbage (about half a medium cabbage)
1 large carrot, peeled
1 small white onion
1/2 bell pepper, any color

In a bowl large enough for the whole shootin' match, whisk together
the dressing. Don't skip the mustard. It's the secret ingredient that
gives it life. And make sure all the lumps are whisked out.

Coarsely grate the cabbage and put it in bowl of ice water.
grate the carrot, onion and pepper. Remove cabbage from ice water
and blot dry.

Add the cabbage, carrots, and onions to the bowl with the
dressing. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour if possible to extract the
flavors from the celery seeds and the vegetables. They will give up
some water, so don't worry if the mix seems a bit dry and strong at
first. Mix it up occasionally so the dressing doesn't pool at the
bottom and taste. You can now add more of the seasonings to your
preference.

When you serve it, mix thoroughly and scoop from the bottom so
the veggies have dressing on them.

Note:In the South there are two kinds of slaw and the rivalry is as
savage as Clemson vs. South Carolina: Sweet-sour and creamy.
Sweet-sour is vinegar and sugar based. Creamy is mayo or sour
cream or buttermilk based (or a blend of them).

Don't skip the ice water bath for the cabbage. It makes it crisp and crunchy.

Hi gang,
Firstly, David, I'm sorry to hear you have to have knee surgery but I
know several people who have been through it and all have been happy
with the results. I don't know how much weight you have to lose but I
know it will be easier on the knees as well as your general health if
you aren't carrying that big bag of dog food on your shoulders all the
time. <G> That was the way my husband used to look at it and it is so
easy to visualize when you put it in those terms. Anyway, I hope it
all works out for you.

As to the following recipe, it sounds really good but I can't believe
there aren't more ingredients. I wonder if any of you have tried
something like this; if so I would really like to see your comments.

Cheers,
Hallie

Bourbon-Burgers

Serving Size : 2 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories :

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 pound ground beef -- (chuck or round steak)
2 ounces bourbon -- chilled
Table salt

Preheat a heavy frying pan and sprinkle lightly with table salt.

Mix bourbon into the meat thoroughly and form into 4 patties.

Grill 4 or 5 minutes on each side.

Serve with spiced peach half.

Serves 2.

From Whiskey in the Kitchen by Emanuel and Madeline Greenberg; 1970.
MC format by Hallie. Untried.

Hallie's Note
That's it - no other ingredients. There is no way I will make this
without at least pepper and garlic. I'm also having a little trouble
visualizing whether you sprinkle the salt into the frying pan or on
the meat but it looks like you sprinkle it into the frying pan.

There is no recipe in the book for spiced peaches, which is, not to put
too fine a point on it, the pits. Pun intended.

However, the combination of beef and bourbon sounds really good. As I've
mentioned before I don't have bourbon around much (sounds like I might
have to break down and get some though) so I will probably use brandy.
I fully expect Art and any of you other bourbon fans to try this
combination if you haven't already and let me know what you think. <VBG>

Hi

Due to an accident 38 years ago my Dr. has suggested a knee replacement.
To increase the chances of success I need to lose a lot of weight. I am
always looking for lower calorie versions of my favorite foods. I love
Philly Cheese Steak sandwiches, but not the approximately 1600 calories
each.

This isn't a real Philly Cheese Steak, but along those lines. With my
changes to the original it tastes pretty good.

Chicken Philly Cheese

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 4
Categories :

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ -------------- ------------------
4 whole wheat hoagie rolls
1 pound chicken breasts
1 yellow onion, sliced
2 bell peppers, sliced
2 banana peppers, sliced
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
4 slices provolone cheese, cut in half

Preheat grill on high. Place the chicken between two sheets of plastic
wrap and flatten slightly with a rolling pin or meat mallet. Remove
the meat from plastic. Grill meat until internal temperature reaches
165 degrees, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside for 5
minutes. Chop meat into 1/2 inch cubes.

While the meat is cooking, heat a large sauté pan. Coat with nonstick
cooking spray. When the pan is hot, add the onions. Sauté on
medium-high for 5 minutes, until onions become tender. Add the
peppers and cook for 10 more minutes. Add the vinegar to sauté
pan, stir to scrape up any residue on the bottom of the pan, and
remove from heat.

Divide the meat and peppers between the two buns. Top each with 2
half slices of cheese. Wrap sandwiches in foil and return to the grill
for 2 minutes to melt the cheese.

Slice each sandwich in half and serve hot.

Note:  Warm meat, gooey cheese, and grilled vegetables--what's not to
love about a Philly cheese steak? How about the more than 1,600
calories in each one! This take on the classic skimps on fat but not
flavor. I made some changes to the basic recipe. I added mushrooms and
vinegar based BBQ sauce, dropped the banana peppers and white wine
vinegar. I sliced the chicken into thin strips, not cubes and added it
back to the veggie mixture. I cored out the Rolls, reducing the amount of bread.

Bourbon Chicken

Recipe By : The Biker Cookbook by Spuds Murphy
Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories :

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
4 chicken breast halves -- skinned and boned
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
1/4 cup Dijon-style mustard
1/4 cup bourbon
2 scallions -- thinly sliced
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon margarine
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

The above ingredients and the following method are the original ones from
the book. I made a lot of alterations which are at the end.

Place chicken between 2 sheets of waxed paper and pound to 1/4-inch
thickness. Place chicken in a shallow baking dish.
Combine sugar, mustard, bourbon, scallions, salt and Worcestershire
sauce, stir well. Brush mixture over both sides of chicken breasts; cover
and marinate 1 hour in refrigerator. Remove chicken and reserve marinade.

Combine margarine and oil in large skillet and place over medium-high
heat. Sauté chicken 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until done.
Remove chicken to a serving platter and keep warm.

Drain and discard pan drippings. Add reserved marinade to skillet; bring
to a boil stirring constantly. Pour sauce over chicken.

From The Biker Cookbook by Spuds Murphy; Gramercy Books; 1999.
ISBN 0-517-20565-3
MC format by Hallie.

Hallie's Notes
I used the following ingredients:
4 chicken thighs, cut off the bone and into about 3 pieces each. I did
not discard the bones, just threw them in with the rest of the chicken.
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
1/4 cup Dijon-style mustard
1/4 cup brandy (I seldom have bourbon on hand and think brandy is a good
alternative)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon curry powder
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
6 button mushrooms, sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil (not extra-virgin)
1 tablespoon butter

I prepared the chicken, just cut it up rather than pounding the pieces
flat. Mixed the sugar, mustard, brandy, salt, curry powder and
Worcestershire sauce together and poured it over the chicken bits. I mixed
it all up well, covered it and put into the fridge for an hour.

I sliced the button mushrooms. You could use any mushrooms you like,
obviously.

I put the frying pan on a medium heat and when to temperature added the
oil and butter then the mushrooms. I let them cook down just a bit to
release any excess moisture. Then I added the chicken, reserving any
leftover marinade (which wasn't much). I sautéed the chicken just until
done, stirring the whole thing up occasionally. The mushrooms and chicken
cooked together beautifully and the sugar in the marinade made a lovely
caramel coating.

Once the chicken was cooked I removed it to a serving dish, drained the
oil from the pan. I happened to have a bottle of Riesling open (who knew?)
and deglazed the pan with a splash of that. You could use the bourbon or
brandy if you wish (and don't happen to like a slip of Riesling while you
cook chicken). I then added the reserved marinade and cooked it down,
stirring constantly. Once it had reduced and thickened I poured it over
the chicken on the platter.

The whole thing had a lovely flavour and the caramelized sauce was
terrific. I had never cooked chicken in this way and will definitely do it
again. My version with the 4 thighs would serve two people with my size of
appetite or maybe four with lots of veggies and salad etc. or one hungry
chicken lover.

I was born in Arkansas as were my parents and grandparents. There they
call Pinto's, Brown Beans (they turn brown when cooked). They are cooked
with smoked ham hocks and onion. It is an all day processes. They are
put in the fridge over night and reheated the next day. They are usually
served with pan fried potatoes, Turnip Greens, fried Salt Pork and Corn
Bread.

My son came to visit the other day and that is his favorite meal. The

Sweet and Spicy Cornbread with Chipotle-Honey Butter

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 12 servings. 1 sq. cornbread with 1 1/2 tsp butter
Categories : bread,

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
------- ------------ -------------- ------------------
1 package cornbread mix
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 egg, beaten
3/4 cup skim milk
1 cup Honey Roasted Sweet Corn
1 jalapeno, seeds and ribs removed, chopped
...
Chipotle-Honey Butter
4 tablespoons unsalted butter or margarine
1 tablespoon honey
1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, chopped

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Mix together the cornbread mix, oil, egg, milk, Green Giant® Honey
Roasted Sweet Corn, and jalapenos in a medium bowl, just until
combined.

Coat a 9x9" baking dish with nonstick spray, then pour the batter
into the dish.

Bake 25-30 minutes, until the top is golden brown and a toothpick
inserted into the middle comes out clean.

While the cornbread is baking, prepare the Chipotle-Honey Butter.
Place the butter, honey, and chipotle into a mini food processor or
small bowl. Pulse to combine or mash together using the back of a
fork. Transfer to a small bowl or ramekin and freeze until the
cornbread is ready.

Allow the cornbread to cool for five minutes, then slice into 12
squares. Top each piece of cornbread with 1 1/2 teaspoons
Chipotle-Honey Butter.

The above is the original recipe. I made some changes when I fixed
it. Use only half the package of mix to which is added 1/4 cup yellow
grits (for coarser texture) add 1/2 tsp baking powder. Use butter milk
as liquid and reduce quantity so that batter is thick, but still
pourable.

Bake in preheated cast iron frying pan to which small amount of oil has
been added. Corn bread should be thinner with thicker crust on both
sides. Cut into wedges with the butter inside.

We have had a great crop of lemons this year. I learned that I could
freeze them for later use which is great because I could never use all of them
at once. I made this lemon pie which is tweaked from an age old recipe in

Ever since Guy posted that Chili recipe with Peanut Butter in it,I
can't get Peanut Butter out of my mind. It always amazes me at what

I was looking for something else a ran across this recipe. I'm not a big

Peanut Butter Curried Chicken Dinner

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 6
Categories :

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ----------- -------------- -----------------
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp curry powder
3 6oz boneless skinless Chicken Breasts chopped
1/2 cup Maui Onion chopped
1/2 cup mushrooms (optional) chopped
2 cups drained Chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
3 cloves fresh garlic chopped
3 tbsp Curry powder
1 cup PLAIN low fat yogurt
1/2 cup Light Sour Cream
1/2 cup Light Mayo
4 Tbsp Jif Extra Crunchy peanut butter
1/4 cup Dry Roasted Cashews
3 cups chopped Spinach, fresh
2 cups chopped Broccoli, fresh
1 Tbsp Dijon Mustard
1 Tbsp ground Black Pepper
1 tsp Lime Juice
4.5 cups COOKED Basmati Rice

Start rice cooking first, according to package directions to make 4.5
cups of Basmati rice. (6 3/4 cup servings)

In large non-stick pot, heat oil and 1 T curry powder to toast the
spice for 30 seconds over med-high heat. Add chicken, onion,
mushrooms, chickpeas and garlic and toss to sweat in the toasted
spice until onions start to become cloudy and chicken is begun to
cook through. Add remaining curry powder and stir throughout until
evenly coated.

Add remaining ingredients in any order, finishing with black pepper,
turn heat to med-low and simmer, stirring occasionally about 5
minutes, until chicken is cooked through. At the last second before
serving, stir in lime juice (DON'T do this early, it makes the dairy
CURDLE).

Plate 3/4 cup of rice in the center of each plate, pour 1/6th of curry
mixture over it and dig in!

Note: If it's too spicy, sprinkle a packet of Splenda over the top.
Not spicy enough? Add some Siracha sauce (sparingly!) and salt.

Not Lo-Cal, but worth the splurge.

Hi gang, I had been watching the series Jamie Oliver had "Jamie's
Great Britain" and this recipe looked really good. I don't often buy
celeb cookbooks but do on occasion and when I spotted the book for
this one I decided I deserved a present. <G> It was ever so much
easier than working from the DVR and scribbling and pausing and
backing up multiple times. I liked the idea of scoring the chicken
legs; in the show he said it made the cooking much more even. I will
have to try it the next time I roast a chicken. I don't have a great
big oven but I'm sure I can work something out, even if I have to
produce the dinner at the neighbours' using their stove. <G>

Empire Roast Chicken with Bombay Roasties and Amazing Indian Gravy

Recipe By : Jamie Oliver's Great Britain;2012
Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories :

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
**For the chicken and marinade**
2 1/4 pounds chicken
["preferably higher welfare chicken"
whatever that means]
1 tablespoon finely grated garlic -- (heaped)
1 tablespoon finely grated fresh ginger -- (heaped)
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh red chile -- (heaped)
1 tablespoon tomato puree -- (heaped)
1 teaspoon ground coriander -- (heaped)
1 teaspoon ground turmeric -- (heaped)
1 teaspoon garam masala -- (heaped)
1 teaspoon ground cumin -- (heaped)
2 teaspoons plain yogurt -- (heaped)
2 lemons
2 teaspoons sea salt
**For the gravy**
3 small onions -- peeled
1 stick cinnamon
10 whole cloves
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups organic chicken stock
Optional - plain yogurt to serve
**For the Bombay-style potatoes**
1 3/4 pounds new potatoes
Sea salt and ground pepper
1 lemon
2 tablespoons olive oil -- (2 or 3)
A knob of butter
1 teaspoon black mustard seeds -- (heaped)
1 teaspoon cumin seeds -- (heaped)
1 teaspoon garam masala -- (heaped)
1 teaspoon turmeric -- (heaped)
1 whole garlic bulb
1 fresh red chile -- deseeded
and finely sliced
2 tomatoes -- roughly chopped
1 small bunch fresh cilantro

Slash the chicken's legs a few times right down to the bone. Get a baking
sheet slightly bigger than the chicken, then add all of the marinade
ingredients and mix together well. Put on a pair of clean rubber gloves,
then really massage those flavors over and inside the chicken so it's
smeared everywhere. Don't be shy! Ideally marinate overnight in the fridge.

Preheat the oven to 400F. and organize the oven rack so the baking sheet
can sit right at the bottom, the chicken can sit directly above it, right
on the rack and the potatoes can go at the top. Halve any larger potatoes,
then parboil them in a large pan of salted boiling water with a whole
lemon for about 15 to 20 minutes or until the potatoes are cooked through.
Drain the potatoes then let them steam dry. Stab the lemon a few times
with a sharp knife and put it right into the chicken's cavity. Move the
chicken to a plate.

Roughly chop the onions and add to the baking sheet along with the
cinnamon stick, cloves, vinegar and Worcestershire sauce, then whisk in
the flour. Pour in the stock or water, then place this right at the bottom
of the oven. Place the chicken straight onto the bars of the middle shelf,
above the baking sheet. Cook for 1 hour 20 minutes.

Put another sturdy baking sheet over a medium heat and add the olive oil,
a knob of butter, the mustard and cumin seeds, garam masala and turmeric -
work quickly because if the fat gets too hot the mustard seeds will pop
everywhere. Halve a bulb of garlic and add it straight to the pan, with
the sliced chile and chopped tomatoes. Add your drained potatoes to the
tray, mix everything together, then season well. Finely slice and scatter
in the cilantro stalks and keep the leaves in a bowl of water for later.
After the chicken has been in for 40 minutes, put the potatoes in.

Once the chicken is cooked, move it to a board and carefully peel off the
dark charred bits to reveal perfect chicken underneath. Pass the gravy
through a coarse sieve into a pan, whisking any sticky goodness from the
pan as you go. Bring to the boil and either cook and thicken or thin down
with water to your preference. Put it into a serving bowl and drizzle over
a little yogurt. Get your potatoes out of the oven and put them into a
serving bowl, then serve the chicken on a board next to the sizzling
roasties and hot gravy. Sprinkle the reserved cilantro leaves over
everything and serve with any condiments you like. Life doesn't get much
better.

Jamie's Note
"Ask any British person what their two favorite meals are and I reckon
most people would say their mum's roast chicken, and a curry. Well,
welcome to Empire roast chicken, a combination of both of those things.
Your friends and family are going to love it. I love it. You will love it."

You are absolutely right - it was supposed to be half whip.

Of course I suppose (delving into this further) one could half ship
cream if the delivery truck broke down half way? hmmmm?

So, everyone, take note: half whip the cream in that recipe.

I had never heard of chicken soufflé before so I went looking in my cook
book collection and came up with two more recipes, one of which I have
written here. There are two other versions in my 1975 ed. of Joy of Cooking.

New Larousse Gastronomique - 1977 English edition
Pound in a mortar 250 grams (9 ounces) cooked white chicken meat with 2
to 3 tablespoons (3 to 4 tablespoons) thick béchamel sauce. Season and
press through a sieve.
Cool, add 1 tablespoon butter and mix. Incorporate 3 egg yolks and 3
beaten egg whites.
Fill a buttered soufflé dish with this mixture to within a finger's
breadth from the top. Smooth over the surface.
Cook in a moderate oven for 20 to 25 minutes. Serve immediately.
The same method is used to cook small soufflés in cassolettes.

Looking at the Larousse, it would appear that just about anything can be
souffleed. I'm sorry to admit that I have never ventured beyond cheese. LOL

Shrimp and Grits

Recipe By : Saveur Magazine
Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories :

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
For the Grits:
1 tablespoon salt
2 cups coarse ground grits
3 cups milk
...
For the Shrimp:
4 slices bacon, cut crosswise into 1 in. pieces
1 pound medium shrimp, peeled
1 small clove garlic, peeled and chopped
1/4 cup white wine or dry sherry
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoon minced fresh parsley leaves

FOR THE GRITS:
Bring 4 cups of salted water to a boil in the top pot of a double boiler set over high heat. Meanwhile, fill the bottom pot of the double boiler about halfway with water and bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium.

Gradually pour grits into the salted water, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon to prevent lumps, then fit pot onto the bottom pot of the double boiler.

As the grits absorb the liquid and thicken, about 2 minutes, add 2 cups of the milk and cook, stirring frequently, until grits are tender and creamy, about 45 minutes. (Thin with some of the remaining milk if grits become too thick.) Cover pot and reduce heat to low while preparing shrimp.

FOR THE SHRIMP:
Fry bacon in a medium skillet over medium heat until browned and crisp, then transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. Discard all but a thin film of bacon drippings from skillet.

Increase heat to medium high and add shrimp, garlic, and three quarters of the bacon to same skillet; sauté, stirring often, until shrimp are just pink, about 3 minutes.

Add wine, scrape any brown bits stuck to bottom of skillet with a wooden spoon, and cook until alcohol has evaporated and reduced slightly, about 2 minutes.  Add cream and cook, stirring constantly, until sauce has thickened, about 2 minutes more.

Divide grits between 4 bowls, then spoon shrimp and sauce over grits. Garnish each with reserved bacon and parsley.

Sesame-Glazed Trout

Recipe By :Inviting Asian Flavours
Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : FareShare Group Sent Fish & Seafood

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/2 cup boiling water -- (125 mL)
2 orange pekoe tea bags
...
2 tablespoons rice vinegar -- (30 mL)
2 tablespoons soy sauce -- (30 mL)
1 tablespoon sesame oil -- (15 mL)
1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder -- (5 mL)
4 Steelhead trout fillets
[4 to 5 ounces/113 to 140 grams each]
...
1/4 cup sesame seeds -- toasted (60 mL)
2 tablespoons liquid honey -- (30 mL)
1 tablespoon soy sauce -- (15 mL)
2 teaspoons Chinese five-spice powder -- (10 mL)
1 teaspoon sesame oil -- (5 mL)

Pour boiling water over tea bags in a cup Chill until cold. Remove tea
bags, squeezing out liquid.

Combine next 4 ingredients in a large re-sealable freezer bag. Add tea and
fillets and marinate in the refrigerator for 20 minutes (see Tip below).
Drain and discard marinade. Arrange fillets on a foil-lined baking sheet
and pat dry.

Combine remaining 5 ingredients and spread over fillets. Broil 6 inches
(15 cm) from heat in oven for 5 to 7 minutes until fish flakes easily when
tested with a fork.

Makes 4 fillets.

Tip. Don't leave the fish in the marinade for longer than the recommended
time. The tea infuses the mild fish with flavour but it will also begin to
break down the texture if left too long.

Make Ahead:  Make and refrigerate both the marinade and sauce up to one day in advance.

Suggested Garnish: sautéed spinach leaves; finely sliced green onion.

Hallie's Note
This recipe calls for Steelhead Trout which is a seagoing Rainbow Trout
(Oncorhynchus mykiss) with origins in western North America and Asia
according to my copy of 'On Food and Cooking' by Harold McGee. He also
comments that the trout family relations are complicated. Here is what he
has to say about trouts and chars: "These mainly freshwater offshoots of
the salmons are excellent sport fish and so have been transplanted from
their home waters to lakes and streams all over the world. Their fish lacks
the salmon coloration because their diet doesn't include the pigmented
ocean crustaceans. Today the trout found in U.S. markets and restaurants
are almost all farmed rainbows. On a diet of fish and animal meal and
vitamins, rainbow trout take just a year from egg to mild, single-portion
(1/2 - 1 lb/225-450gm) fish. The Norwegians and Japanese raise exactly the
same species in saltwater to produce a farmed version of the steelhead
trout, which can reach 50 pounds (23 kg) and has the pink-red flesh and
flavor of a small Atlantic salmon. Arctic Char, which can grow to 30 pounds
(14 kg) as migratory fish, are farmed in Iceland, Canada and elsewhere to
about 4 pounds (2 kg) and can be as fatty as salmon.

I was looking for a recipe for something else and while browsing in
my usual semi-distracted fashion I came across this recipe in one of
my old cookbooks. I know Art has a bunch of venison in his freezer
this year due in part to his grandson filling in when he had to quit

sufficiently intriguing and different to anything I've seen for
venison that I just had to send it. If anyone tries it please send

Venison with Anchovy Cream

Recipe By : Meat on the Menu in Southern Africa by Lesley Faull
Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : FareShare Group Sent Meat

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
6 venison steaks
or a larded leg of venison
**Marinade**
2 cups dry white wine
1/2 cup vinegar
1/4 cup water
1 carrot -- chopped
1 onion -- chopped
2 bay leaves
1/2 teaspoon black pepper -- freshly ground
**Sauce**
1 cup cream
4 ounces cottage cheese
1 small tin anchovies -- chopped
or 1/2 cup Anchovette fish paste
2 tablespoons brandy -- (2 to 3)
1 pinch sugar

Combine the marinade ingredients in an enameled saucepan; bring to a
boil and allow to cool. Pour into a deep enamel or earthenware bowl.

Place venison (steaks or larded leg) in this marinade and chill for 24
hours. Remove from the marinade and dry thoroughly with absorbent paper.

Saute the steaks in a mixture of butter with a few drops of oil added,
until they are brown on both sides. Or, in the case of a leg of venison,
roast in the normal way. Arrange the steaks or joint on a heated platter.

To make the sauce.
Stir into the fat remaining in the pan, the cream, cottage cheese,
chopped anchovies or fish paste, brandy and seasonings. Cook over very low
heat until the sauce is quite smooth. Pour over the steaks or serve in a
sauce-boat in the case of roast leg of venison.

Stoned prunes served hot with this dish make a delicious and intriguing
accompaniment.

Hallie's Note
I thought this looked like an interesting and very different treatment
for venison. I've seen tubes of anchovy paste in the Italian markets here
so I assume it is fairly readily available in most places. The recipe in
the book also called for MSG which was common when this book was printed
but I left it out.
As an added note, this is what my Larousse Gastronomique has to say on
the topic of venison:
The meat of any kind of deer. In French, and formerly in English, it
described the meat of any kind of game animal or wild beast killed for
food and 'basse venaison' is the meat of hare or wild rabbit.
There is also a section for 'Roebuck' which contains several methods for
preparing deer.

Chili Recipe Submitted by Art Guyer

Chili con Carne
From Cook's Country

 Why this recipe works:

Many chili con carne recipes call for toasting and grinding a variety of whole chilies. We wanted to create a simpler, authentic-tasting version using supermarket ingredients. For the meat, we settled on beef chuck, our favorite affordable cut for stews because its substantial marbling provides rich flavor and tender texture after prolonged cooking. To add a smoky meatiness to our Chili Con Carne recipe, we browned the beef in bacon fat instead of oil. We added fresh jalapeño for brightness and heat and minced chipotle (canned smoked jalapeño) for smoky, spicy depth. Corn muffin mix gave our Chili Con Carne a silky texture and a hint of corn flavor.

We create a simple, authentic-tasting version of this Tex-Mex classic using supermarket ingredients.

Serves 6 to 8

If the bacon does not render a full 3 tablespoons of fat in step 1, supplement it with vegetable oil. You can use the remaining corn muffin mix to make muffins (or cornbread) to serve with the chili. We like to serve this chili with diced white onion, cubed avocado, shredded cheese, lime wedges, and hot sauce.

Ingredients

1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes
2 teaspoons minced chipotle chilies in adobo sauce
4 slices bacon, chopped fine
1 (3 1/2- to 4-pound) boneless beef chuck-eye roast, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
Salt and pepper
1 onion, chopped fine
1 jalapeño chile, seeded and chopped fine
3 tablespoons chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
4 garlic cloves, minced
4 cups water
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 tablespoons yellow corn muffin mix

1. Process tomatoes and chipotle in food processor until smooth. Cook bacon in Dutch oven over medium heat until crisp, about 8 minutes. Transfer bacon to paper towel-lined plate and reserve 3 tablespoons bacon fat.

2. Pat beef dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon reserved bacon fat in empty Dutch oven over medium-high heat until just smoking. Brown half of beef, about 8 minutes. Transfer to bowl and repeat with additional tablespoon bacon fat and remaining beef.

3. Add remaining bacon fat, onion, and jalapeño to empty Dutch oven and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in chili powder, cumin, oregano, and garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in water, pureed tomato mixture, bacon, browned beef, and sugar and bring to boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for 1 hour. Skim fat and continue to simmer uncovered until meat is tender, 30 to 45 minutes.

4. Ladle 1 cup chili liquid into medium bowl and stir in muffin mix; cover with plastic wrap. Microwave until mixture is thickened, about 1 minute. Slowly whisk mixture into chili and simmer until chili is slightly thickened, 5 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Serve. (Chili can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.)

Test Kitchen Tip: Use a Thickener That Adds Flavor

Some traditional chili recipes are thickened with masa harina (corn flour), which can be hard to find. When we were searching for a more accessible ingredient to help thicken the chili, we tested ground corn chips and toasted corn tortillas that we processed to a powder. While both were good, we preferred the subtle sweetness and strong thickening power of 2 tablespoons of corn muffin mix. (Our recipe was developed using Jiffy brand.)

MUFFIN MIX: Helps thicken our chili and adds sweetness and corn flavor.

Test Kitchen Primer: Jalapeños

While talk of super-fiery peppers like the ghost pepper, habanero, and Scotch bonnet may set the hearts of chile enthusiasts aflutter, the chile we reach for most often in the test kitchen is the humble jalapeño. Jalapeños measure about 5,000 units on the Scoville scale; habanero chilies, by comparison, can approach 500,000 Scoville units. Here’s a quick primer on this popular chile.

Where’s the heat? Most of the capsaicin (the compound responsible for heat) in jalapeños (and any chile) is concentrated in the white ribs and seeds. The heat level of jalapeños can vary widely, even among peppers from the same plant; tasting as you go (and adding more if desired) is always a good strategy for heat management.

Does color matter? Like most peppers, jalapeños are green when immature and turn color (in this case, red) when they ripen. In our tests, we’ve found that color does not affect heat but that red jalapeños are usually a bit sweeter than green ones.

Any test kitchen prep tips? With a little know-how, prepping jalapeños is easy. First, wash and dry the peppers. In the test kitchen, we usually wear rubber gloves (if you don’t have gloves, you can slip your hands inside clean plastic sandwich bags) when handling any hot chilies, and jalapeños are no exception. To mince a jalapeño, cut off (and discard) the stem and slice the pepper in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to scrape out the seeds and ribs (reserving them to add back later if you want more heat). Then slice the pepper into strips and mince. Discard the gloves and wash your board and knife in hot soapy water.

SCRAPE WITH A SPOON: It's the easiest way to remove the seeds and ribs. 

Create Layers of Chile Flavor

One way we do so in our recipe is by using one chile two ways. Jalapeño chilies contribute fresh, vegetal flavor and bright but mild heat. We sauté a chopped jalapeño with the onion. We also reach for jalapeños in the form of chipotle chilies in adobo sauce, which are jalapeños that are dried and smoked -before being packed in a tomato-vinegar sauce. We puree the chipotles in adobo with diced tomatoes to form a flavorful liquid base for our chili. Jalapeños in both forms are easy to find at the supermarket.

TWO SIDES OF ONE CHILE: Chipotles are dried jalapeños.

 “Bloom” the Spices

Chili-heads go a little crazy and sometimes demand three, four, or even five types of obscure dried chilies when they’re cooking up a pot of chili con carne, usually toasting and grinding the dried chilies or soaking and pureeing them in a blender for depth and complexity. To get a similar depth of flavor without the shopping expedition or the heavy labor, we simply “bloom” store-bought chili powder (with the onion, jalapeño, garlic, cumin, and oregano) in hot bacon fat. This is a great trick for all your cooking: Any time you bloom a spice in fat, be it butter, oil, or bacon fat, you bring out its full potential and depth of flavor.

MAXIMIZE FLAVOR: Cooking chili powder in oil brings out its flavor.

 Start With a Whole Roast and Cube it Yourself

Why is buying a boneless chuck-eye roast and cubing it at home preferable to buying stewing meat that has already been cubed? Because the cubed stew meat you buy may be unevenly cut, especially gnarly and fatty, or from several different parts of the steer. Together, these issues can add up to uneven cooking. Cubing the meat is very easy if you first pull apart the roast at the natural seams and remove some of the fat.

NATURAL STEAM: Use your hands to pull apart the meat.

EXCESS FAT: Trim and discard large pockets of fat.
