Recipe of the Week

Mini Muffalettas

We love this recipe because it’s easy, it’s very attractive to the eye and most importantly it taste wonderful. These little sandwiches are great to serve at your Christmas, New Years or football party.

Mini Muffalettas

Fetch-
1 loaf party bread Jewish or pumpernickel
Butter, softened
1 pound Genoa salami, sliced thin
1 pound ham, sliced thin
1 pound pepperoni, sliced thin
¾ pound Provolone cheese, sliced thin
¾ pound mozzarella, sliced thin
Olive Salad:
3 large garlic cloves, crushed
1 cup green olives stuffed with pimentos, chopped
1 cup pitted ripe black olives or Kalamatas, chopped
¼ cup celery, chopped fine
½ cup roasted red peppers, chopped
1 ½ tablespoons capers, rinsed and chopped
¾ cup olive oil
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
3 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning

This is how we do it-
Get you a medium size bowl out and mix all of the ingredients for the olive salad. Spread you a thin layer of butter on the party bread. This will protect your bread from getting soggy. We can’t have you taking some soggy sandwiches to your Christmas party. Cut your meat into small neat squares. You want it to be the same size as the bread. Time to assemble. Holler for your children, husband or wife to come help you. This is easy enough for them to do and you can fit in some family time. Let’s do this thing – layer your salami, provolone, ham, mozzarella and then pepperoni. The sisters love us anything layered. We are almost finished guys and gals; the sister’s told you this was an easy one. Top with olive salad and you are D O N E. You can heat these baby’s up or serve cold. The sister’s like it both ways. Whatever floats your boat is good with us. Enjoy

Porky’s Cobb Salad

Gather-
½ head iceberg lettuce, chopped into bite size pieces
2 cups spinach leaves
½ bunch watercress, coarse stems discarded
6 slices bacon, cooked crisp
1 tomato, seeded and chopped fine

2 ripe avocados, peeled and sliced
2 hard-boiled large eggs, separated, chopped finely
1 small can olives, drained
1 can baby corn, drained
½ cup sharp cheddar cheese
½ cup of blue cheese, crumbled

Assemble-
We like to arrange the salad greens in a large shallow glass bowl but you can use whatever you have. Then we take a large glass tray and arrange all of the ingredients in nice and neat rows. This looks fabulous with all of the different colors and your family or dinner guest can choose what they like to put on their salad. Serve with the tasty dressing.

Chicken and Mushroom Fricassee

A Fricassee is a catch-all term used to describe a stewed dish typically made with chicken, but other types of white meat can be substituted. It is cut into pieces and then stewed in gravy (it’s all in the gravy). It often includes other ingredients and vegetables. Be afraid, be very afraid, this recipe will make your tongue jump out your mouth and slap your brains out. It makes the best gravy.

Chicken and Mushroom Fricassee

Ingredients:

3 tablespoons oil
8 chicken thighs
Salt and pepper to taste
1 (12 ounce) packages andouille sausage, sliced
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves minced garlic
4 stalks celery with leaves, chopped
¾ cup vegetable oil
¾ cup all-purpose flour
3cups water
3 cups chicken broth
2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
1 teaspoons cayenne pepper
Salt and pepper to taste
3 green onions, chopped
8 ounces mushrooms

Directions:
Heat oil in a large cast iron skillet. Season chicken with salt and pepper to taste. Sauté chicken and sausage for 5 to 7 minutes, or until chicken is golden brown on both sides. Remove meat from skillet; add onions, garlic, and celery and sauté until soft. Remove vegetables from skillet. To Make Roux: In the same skillet (with drippings from meat) stir together oil and flour over low heat; cook until color is caramel. Remove roux from pot. Put water and chicken broth in the large pot. Add the chicken, sausage, vegetable mixture, Cajun seasoning, cayenne pepper, salt, and ground black pepper. Bring all to a boil and cook for 20 minutes. Add ½ – ¾ of the roux and stir together; the mixture should have the consistency of chowder. If necessary, add the remaining roux. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer uncovered for 2 hours, stirring occasionally. Thirty minutes before fricassee is ready add mushrooms. Serve hot over rice, if desired.

Banana Foster Pancakes

We love Banana fosters and we love pancakes. Put those together and you have a love affair. The first time we had these our friend Griff made them for us at the beach. This was such a treat.

Ingredients:
2 cups baking mix
2 eggs
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
2 teaspoons of baking powder
1 tablespoon of vanilla

Directions:
Mix all ingredients until blended. Pour about a ¼ cup onto hot greased pan. Cook until edges are golden and pancake mix is bubbling. Turn and cook until golden brown.

Banana Fosters

Ingredients:
1 stick butter
¾ cup brown sugar
½ teaspoon cinnamon
¼ cup banana liqueur
6 bananas cut in half lengthwise, then halved
¼ cup dark rum
Ice Cream or whipped cream (optional but reccomended)
Directions:
Combine the butter, sugar, and cinnamon in a skillet.

Place the pan over low heat on top of the stove, and cook, stirring, until the sugar dissolves.

Stir in the banana liqueur, and then place the bananas in the pan.

When the banana sections soften and begin to brown, carefully add the rum. Continue to cook the sauce until the rum is hot, and then tip the pan slightly to ignite the rum (if using a gas stove).

When the flame goes down, lift the bananas out of the pan and place four pieces over each pancake. Generously spoon the warm sauce over the top of the pancakes and top with ice cream or whipped cream if you dare.
