Chicken or turkey(how I use leftovers from tday) fricasse.
Key to this is a good roux. Roux(for luna here another reason I use spelt flour) is flour and a fat heated together to make a thickening agent. I use spelt and olive or canola oil.
Ingredients
Vidalia or any type of onion, salt(sea salt) pepper, chicken broth, thyme, marjaram, rice(brown rice generally), tumeric, lemon juice, bell peppers, celery, chicken or turkey, flour(spelt) olive oil and garlic, white wine and parmesean cheese
My mom used to do, was boil various chicken parts(thighs drumsticks) save the water the chicken was boiled in. Boil up some rice with curry powder inside(you can use curry instead of tumeric, however hubby likes the tumeric instead of the curry).
While rice was cooking, she would make a roux, then put in a ladle full at a time of the broth. When at a decent consistency she put in cut up chicken and served over rice.
what I do is sautee the peppers, onions and celery, put aside, make roux. Add the chicken broth, add the spices(a tablespoon to two tablespoon) and let it simmer, while the rice is cooking. Oh i add some white wine too(I've since nixed the lemon juice). At the very end I melt in some parmesean cheese, but this can be kinda sticky.
Will be good as a take to work thing, since the flavor only improves with sitting in the fridge. Good reheated after frozen. Toss on some parsely for look and vitamins.
==================
Italian baked green beans
Take fresh greenbeans, that you have cut in half and taken off the ends off and put in a covered casserol dish. Mix up some Italian dressing(vinegar(I usually use white wine vinegar, or red wine, or white balsamic) of whatever sort and olive oil and garlic and Italian seasonings) pour over green beans and bake at 350 for about 20 minutes.
=====================
Buffalo meat loaf
2 lbs buffalo meat (bjs' has it, and it's relatively inexpensive. I like bj's meat, as opposed to sams club. Sams club usually gives me a sick feeling just from walking near it.
2 eggs
Breadcrumbs
Diced Scallions
bbq sauce
dijon mustard
worcestershire sauce
garlic Italian seasonings
Optional horseradich or lemon zest or lemon pepper
Mix all these together and bake in a loaf pan till done at 350.
Optional. Bake in a muffin pan and ice with mashed taters(mashed potatoes, sour cream butter and cheese) or optional. Mashed sweet potatoes.
More later.
