1 ½ pounds chicken sausage, with provolone and Italian herbs
2 sheets puff pastry
1 egg
1 tablespoon water
Flour for work surface

Wild and Dirty Rice

We are getting wild and dirty with this one, folks. We made a traditional dirty rice and added wild rice and it is so very good.

Wild and Dirty Rice

Ingredients:

1 large eggplant, diced
4 cups water
2 tablespoons bouillon granules
1 pound bulk breakfast sausage
1 lb chicken liver
¾ stick butter
1 large onion, chopped
1 bell pepper, chopped
4 stalks celery with leaves, chopped
3-5 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
3 bay leaves
Cajun seasoning, to taste
1 cup green onion tops, chopped
½ cup parsley, chopped
1 cup uncooked long grain rice
1 6 ounce box wild rice

Directions:
Add eggplant and granules to about 1 cup of boiling water, reduce heat to medium and cook for 15 minutes or until tender, set aside. In another boiler add chicken liver, 2 cups water, chopped onion, bell pepper and celery (about a tablespoon of each) and bring to a bowl. Reduce heat and simmer until mixture has reduced to about half. Strain and reserve broth and liver. If you do not want to make your own stock, use 1 can of chicken broth. Grind the cooked liver and set aside. Brown the sausage in a lightly greased heavy cast iron pot. Pour off the excess grease. Remove the meat and melt the butter and add the chopped onion, bell pepper, celery and garlic and sauté until tender. Add the sausage, ground liver, Worcestershire sauce, and cup/can of broth to the vegetables. Add Cajun seasoning and bay leaves and simmer for 1 ½ to 2 hours. Remove bay leaves and add the eggplant, chopped green onion tops and parsley, and simmer for a few minutes longer. Cook 1 cup long grain rice. Make box of wild rice according to package directions. Mix cooked white rice and wild rice into heated dressing mix just before serving. Add the rice a bit at a time until you achieve the balance that you like of rice to dressing mix.

Chipped Beef on Toast

We were poor but we were proud. When Mama fixed this meal we would have sworn it was the best of the best meat and gravy. Not knowing that she was serving this because she couldn’t afford anything else. Mama just gave that special touch to the gravy and light bread. We still get excited to this day when mama makes this for us.

Ingredients:

¼ cup butter
¼ cup flour
Garlic powder to taste
2 dashes hot Sauce, or to taste
½ teaspoon Cajun Seasoning, or to taste
2 cups half and half or milk
2 small jars dried beef, chopped
Plenty of buttered toast

Directions:
Melt butter over medium heat, add flour and stir until smooth. Season the flour mixture with garlic powder, hot sauce and Cajun seasoning. Slowly add milk and stir until flour and milk mixture is smooth. Add chopped dried beef to mixture. Increase heat, stirring frequently, until mixture is bubbly. Reduce heat and sauce will thicken. Serve over buttered toast or French bread. Top with a fried egg (optional but recommended).

Note: Dried beef is salty, can be rinsed lightly to reduce salt.
