Meat Recipes

Postby Emptynester » Thu Jul 10, 2008 1:57 pm

Greens & Ham Casserole

4 cups chopped cooked ham or mushrooms if want meat free
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 chopped onion,
1 chopped red bell pepper,
1 chopped green bell pepper
1 chopped celery rib.

For time challenged...the four chopped ingredients above are available frozen chopped in a mix at the grocery freezer.

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 cups chicken broth or vegetable broth
1 (16-ounce) package frozen chopped collard greens or cooked leftover
1 (16-ounce) can black-eyed peas, rinsed and drained or cooked leftover drained
1/2 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper

Sauté ham or mushrooms in hot oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat 5 minutes til lightly browned.

Add next 4 ingredients

Sauté till start to become translucent

Add flour, stir constantly, cook 1 minute.

Gradually Add broth, and cook, stirring constantly, 3 minutes or until broth begins to thicken and mixture begins to boil.

Add collard greens;

Return to a boil, and cook,

Stir frequently 15 minutes. (till all cooked thru)

Stir in black-eyed peas and crushed red pepper;

Spoon hot mixture into a lightly greased 13- x 9-inch baking dish.

Topping*

1 1/2 cups white cornmeal mix
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon sugar
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 1/2 cups buttermilk

Combine first 3 ingredients; make a well in the center of mixture. Add eggs and buttermilk to cornmeal mixture,
Stir til moistened. No need to over stir.

Pour batter evenly over hot filling mixture. Can use a Pam sprayed spatula to spread to edges.

Bake at 425° for 20 to 25 minutes or until cornbread is golden brown and set.

*Add 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese and 1 (7-ounce) jar drained, diced pimiento.[/b]

Tidbit: When a magazine was promoting regional cookbooks we gave them ALL the recipes...second time they used this one (someone thought was good)...they added the cheese and pimento to the topping recipe and baked in corn stick pan...this doubled the bread IMHO but I liked the corn sticks sooo jus add the cheese/pimento to topping after it is mixed before spreading...since I do this often with mushrooms and spinach (some vegetarians you know) I like the flavor it adds...

Lucien's Tourtiere

Postby Emptynester » Thu Jul 10, 2008 2:00 pm

Lucien's Tourtiere

This copy of the recipe won first prize in a competition in California in 1979 when submitted by a cousin:

2 pounds lean ground pork
1 pound ground beef chuck
2 large onions, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
2 1/2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
1 teaspoon celery salt
1 1/2 to 2 teaspoons ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground sage
1 cup water
3 medium-sized potatoes, cooked and mashed
Pie crust for two pies

Combine pork, chuck, onion and garlic in large heated skillet. Cook stirring often, until meats lose their pink colour. Stir in poultry seasoning, salt, celery salt, pepper, sage and water. Cover. Simmer 10 minutes. Uncover and simmer 10 minutes longer. Remove from heat, stir in mashed potatoes, and cool.

Prepare the pie crusts and divide into fourths. For each of two pies, roll out one-fourth on a lightly-floured surface to a 12-inch round. Fit into a nine-inch fluted pie plate with loose bottom. Press pastry against sides of pan. Trim to a quarter-inch of overhang. Spoon half of cooled meat mixture into pie shell. Fold edges over meat.

Roll out another fourth of the pastry to a 10-inch round. Place over meat. Trim flush with edge of pan. Cut small slits in pastry near centre for steam to escape. Brush top with milk.

Bake in hot oven first at 425 degrees for 15 minutes, then 350 degrees for another 25 minutes.

The story I heard about Grandpa Rousseau's tortiere was that it was a community favourite often served at Christmas time. I gather that even in the strong Roman Catholic area some of the men would only attend church for two services: Christmas Day and Easter Sunday. This means that these men would only wear their church clothes two days a year, and since they weren't rich they would probably only have one suit. One Easter a member of the congregation walked up to show Grandpa what he had found in his suit: a piece of Lucien's tortiere he had enjoyed so much at Christmas that he had pocketed a piece to enjoy later.
