QUESADILLAS
HASH
HUNGARIAN GOULASH
- 2 lbs. stew meat
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/2 c ketchup
- 2 T Worcestershire
- 1/4 c flour
- 1 T brown sugar
- 2 t salt
- 2 t paprika
- 1/2 t dry mustard
- 1 c water
Put meat in crock pot, cover with sliced onion. Combine remaining ingredients, except flour, pour over meat. Cover and cook low 9 or 10 hours. Dissolve flour in small amount of cold water. Stir in to meat mixture and cook on high about ten minutes, till thickened. Serve over noodles or rice.
FROGMORE STEW (Low Country Boil)
- 1 T olive or peanut oil
- 1 1/2 lbs. smoke sausage (andouille)
- 1 cup chopped celery
- 2 cup chopped onion
- 2 qt shrimp broth (water)
- 1 T crab or shrimp boil
- 2 lbs. shrimp in shell
- 1 t salt
- 3 bay leaves
- 1 1/2 lbs. cubed potatoes
- 3 ears corn (cut into 6 pieces)
- 1 can tomatoes and/or fresh green beans
Brown the sausage in the oil. Then cook the celery and onion till soft. Put everything else except the shrimp into the pot. Cook until the veggies and sausage are done, probably about fifteen minutes, but check them, then add the shrimp last. They'll only need to cook about three minutes. This serves 6.
You can add other seafood if you like, or other veggies. It's fun to serve in big bowls on newspaper because it's messy. Good with a big hunk of Cuban bread. Great for a New Year's Eve party, especially in Florida because you can be outside!
NO LEFTOVERS AT THE WESTOVERS!
This collection is not meant to be the best of all our recipes or all our favorites or every thing we've cooked and liked. It's just meals from one year. What I'd like is for all the family to use it and add to it. When you try something you like, email it to the rest of us and we can add it to the blog. So this is just a starting place.
My plan for next year is to do an hors d'oeuvres (I always have to look up the spelling of that word in Rick's college dictionary - and don't tell me about spell check - I trust the dictionary) chapter. You all know that hors d'oeuvres are my favorite foods. But lunch things and breakfast foods and special drinks would all be good.
So MERRY CHRISTMAS, 2010 and many more happy years and meals!
