Filé Gumbo

Total Time: 45 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup flour
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 medium green bell pepper, chopped
• 2 stalks celery, chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 cups cooked diced chicken
• 1 lb spicy smoked sausage
• 1 quart chicken broth
• 2 -3 tablespoons cajun seasoning, to taste
• 1 dash hot pepper sauce
• 2 -3 tablespoons gumbo file

Recipe

• 1 cook chicken if it's not already cooked. leftovers work fine for this. set aside.
• 2 place sausage in a large stockpot over medium high heat, and cook until lightly browned, and some oil is released. set aside with chicken.
• 3 add 2 tbsp oil to pot, and saute onion, bell pepper, and celery until soft. add garlic in the last few minutes. set vegetables aside with chicken and sausage, wipe stockpot to remove any vegetable pieces.
• 4 add 1/4 cup oil to pot, and allow to heat over medium until it starts to "shimmer". add flour, and cook, stirring constantly until the flour and oil mixture takes on a rich brown color. if i'm using sausage or ham, i like to do a chocolate colored roux, for seafood and poultry, i like a caramel color. use your own judgment.
• 5 when your roux is as you like it, add the chicken broth (you may sub seafood broth, or turkey stock, depending on your ingredients) stir constantly while adding broth to avoid lumps. you should have something resembling a thin gravy.
• 6 add meats and vegetables back to pot, add cajun seasoning. (i like tony chachere's, but you can use any kind you like. if this ingredient is not available in your area, several good ones have been posted to zaar.).
• 7 simmer your gumbo for half an hour, or more if you like, keeping the heat low to avoid breaking the roux. this gives time for the flavors to mingle. if you're using a delicate shellfish, like shrimp, add it later in the simmer to avoid toughening it.
• 8 when ready to serve, add hot sauce and filé, stir well, and ladle over a bowl of rice. keep the filé, hot sauce, and cajun seasoning out on the table, so diners may add more of any they like. this is wonderful accompanied by a loaf of crusty french bread and a crisp salad.

Green Chili Chicken Enchiladas

Total Time: 1 hr 5 mins Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 45 mins

Ingredients

• 4 -6 skinless chicken breasts, cooked and cubed
• 1 dozen flour tortilla (soft taco size)
• 2 (28 ounce) cans of las palmas green chile verde enchilada sauce (mild, medium or hot)
• 4 cups shredded monterey jack cheese
• 2 cups chopped onions (frozen work great)
• 1 (4 ounce) can sliced black olives
• 1/2 bunch scallion, chopped (green onions)
• 1 -2 cup vegetable oil
• cooking spray (like pam)
• seasoning salt
• ground black pepper

Recipe

• 1 preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• 2 prepare fillings by placing each of the following in individual bowls: cheese, chopped onions, chopped scallions and olives. set aside.
• 3 spray bottoms of two 9x13 baking dishes (glass recommended) with cooking spray. pour 1/4 can of sauce into each baking dish and spread evenly. set aside. note: for best results, shake cans of sauce before opening.
• 4 in a large skillet, heat vegetable oil to the point where a piece of tortilla dipped in the oil sizzles. note: for ease in assembling the enchiladas, best to place this skillet on the right front burner. note: if you leave the tortilla in the oil too long, it will burn. the trick is to place it in the oil for only a moment and then flip it and remove it. if it bubbles up, use the tongs to deflate the bubbles. some crispiness is desired.
• 5 place another skillet on the left front burner and fill it with 1/2 can of enchilada sauce. note: the sauce in this skillet does not need to be heated.
• 6 using tongs, place one tortilla into the hot oil. immediately flip it one time and then remove to the skillet containing the sauce. drench each side of the cooked tortilla with sauce, then remove it to the baking dish. note: 1 cup of oil should be enough but you can add more if needed. be sure to test for correct degree of hotness again if you add oil.
• 7 once the cooked, drenched tortilla has been moved to the baking dish, use your fingers to lay it open. fill it down the center with some chicken, cheese and onions. once filled, roll up the sides toward the middle, then turn the filled enchilada over so that it rests seam-side down in the baking dish.
• 8 repeat steps 6 & 7 until you have filled each baking dish with enchiladas. note: each pan usually holds 5 but if you haven't filled them too full, you may be able to squeeze in 6.
• 9 once each baking dish has been filled with enchiladas, top each with the following in this order: 1/2 can enchilada sauce, remaining cheese (sprinkled down the middle of the enchiladas), chopped scallions and black olives.
• 10 bake uncovered for 45 minutes or until heated through (watch that cheese doesn't burn). dishes are done when sauce bubbles gently around the edges.
• 11 have a margarita with them and enjoy!

Goulash Triestino

Total Time: 2 hrs 10 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 2 hrs

Ingredients

• Servings: 6
• 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 2 -3 large onions, peeled and cut in thick wedges (1 1/2 pounds)
• 2 teaspoons coarse sea salt (to taste) or 2 teaspoons kosher salt (to taste)
• 2 1/2 lbs trimmed boneless beef chuck or 2 1/2 lbs beef round steak, cut in 1 1/2-inch chunks for stewing
• 2 teaspoons hungarian paprika, sweet or hot to taste
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• fresh rosemary (1 branch with lots of needles)
• 3 cups cold water
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 4 tablespoons tomato paste

Recipe

• 1 pour the olive oil into a small saucepan (about 6 cup capacity), set over medium-low heat, and drop in the onion wedges. toss to coat in oil, season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook gently for 3-4 minutes until sizzling and softening.
• 2 spread onions in the bottom of a heavy-bottomed 9 or 10-inch saucepan (such as an enameled cast-iron french oven with a tight-fitting cover) and drop the beef cubes on top of the onions, filling the pan in one layer. sprinkle another 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, all the paprika, and the oregano over the meat and drop in the rosemary. without stirring or turning the meat chunks, cover the pan tightly. heat the meat, with the seasonings on top and the onions below, so it starts to release its juices and stew. check once or twice to see that the pan liquid is bubbling and the onions are melting (not burning) but don't stir.
• 3 after 30 minutes or so, set the cover ajar a couple of inches and adjust the heat to keep the juices bubbling and slowly reducing. as they thicken, stir up the onions so they don't burn and tumble the meat in the pan.
• 4 continue cooking, partially covered, for another 1/2 hour or so. when the juices are concentrated and thick in the pan bottom, prepare the goulash sauce:.
• 5 pour 3 cups cold water in the small pan and whisk in the flour. set over low heat and continue whisking until the flour is dispersed with no lumps, then whisk in the tomato paste. heat gradually, whisking often, until the tomato-flour water just comes to a bubbling boil. pour into the big saucepan and stir well, turning the meat chunks over--they should be nearly covered in sauce.
• 6 bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, put on the cover slightly ajar, and cook 45 minutes to an hour, until the meat is quite tender and the sauce is somewhat reduced. season with more salt to taste. turn off the heat and let the goulash cool in the pan for several hours before serving or refrigerate overnight.
• 7 reheat slowly, stirring now and then, until the meat is thoroughly heated. thin the sauce with water if it has thickened too much. serve hot. (though not part of the original recipe, i like to garnish mine with a dollop of sour cream.).

• 1 tablespoon vinegar (any flavor)

Recipe

• 1 sprinkle montreal seasoning evenly over both sides of steak. using a regular dinner fork, stab the seasoning into the meat-this get the flavor all the way through, and helps tenderize the meat. use more or less seasoning to your taste.
• 2 place steak in a large zip type bag with olive oil and vinegar and let rest for 15 minutes, up to an hour. turn and massage the oil/vinegar mix around the steak occasionally during this time.
• 3 heat grill to medium hot, then remove steak from bag and place steak on grill. cook for 5-8 minutes per side, depending on thickness and desired doneness of steak.
• 4 remove steak from grill and let it rest, covered, (resting keeps the steak's juice inside, instead of all over the cutting board!) for at least 15 minutes, then slice steak thinly across grain. serve immediately.
• 5 this goes great with pan fries, steamed veggies and a nice green salad.
