• Rift In The Force

    From Dave Drum@1:3634/12 to All on Sat Jul 22 05:24:00 2023
    It seems that Janis Kracht's PRIZM is down for the count. Must have
    happened after I uploaded yesterday's packet and before it was tossed
    and sent on to Fido.

    My main tip-off were all the packets I've downloaded were very tiny.
    And Tiny's (Shawn Highfield) packet was non-existent. I think nShawn
    feeds off of Prizm.

    When I try to dial/telnet in to Janis' I get the immediate disconnect
    that indicates an off-line condition.

    Title: Boondocks Smothered Chicken
    Categories: Poultry, Pork, Cheese, Vegetables, Mushrooms
    Yield: 5 Servings

    MMMMM--------------------------MARINADE-------------------------------
    2/3 c Light olive oil
    1/2 c Balsamic vinegar
    1 tb Liquid smoke; opt
    2 ts Garlic salt
    1 ts Dried rosemary; crushed
    1/2 ts Fresh cracked black pepper
    4 (to 6) boned, skinned breast
    - halves

    MMMMM---------------------SMOTHERED CHICKEN--------------------------
    4 sl Thick cut bacon
    2 tb Butter
    1 md Onion; sliced
    1 c Sliced mushrooms
    4 sl (to 8 sl) Provolone cheese;
    - enough to top each piece
    - of chicken

    Pound chicken breasts, or slice in half lengthwise, so
    that they are evenly thick and tenderize if desired. Put
    marinade ingredients in a Ziploc bag or glass bowl, mix
    well and set aside 2 tablespoons for basting. Add chicken,
    cover or seal, and let marinate in the fridge for 30
    minutes, or up to 2 hours.

    Cook bacon in a skillet until crisp, remove and drain on a
    paper towel; set aside and crumble when cooled. Add butter
    to the bacon fat, and saute the onion, cooking until
    caramelized. Using a slotted spoon, remove the onion and
    set aside; add the mushrooms and cook, remove and set
    aside.

    Meanwhile, grill, pan sear, or broil the chicken, until
    done - time will be dependent on the size and thickness of
    the breasts and the method of cooking. Coarsely chop the
    bacon.

    Set oven @ 350ºF/175ºC.

    Place the cooked chicken into a shallow baking dish or in
    mini bakers on a baking sheet. Baste chicken on both sides
    with the reserved marinade, top with crumbled bacon,
    mushrooms and onion. Place in oven for 5 to 10 minutes.
    Remove, top each piece of chicken with cheese and return
    to the oven just long enough to melt. Serve immediately.

    COOK'S NOTES: Substitute any cheese you like for the
    provolone. Makes great individual sandwiches or even
    sliders. For sandwiches or sliders, trim into cutlets the
    size of your rolls before grilling.

    SMOKY MOUNTAIN CHICKEN: Marinade chicken as above.
    Substitute thin slices of smoked ham for the bacon and
    omit onions and mushrooms. Brush barbecue sauce on both
    sides of grilled breasts, pile several slices of ham
    loosely on top of each breast, then top with cheese. Place
    in oven just until cheese is melted and garnish with
    chopped tomato and sliced green onion before serving.

    MMMMM--------------------------COOKIE--------------------------------
    1/3 c Powdered sugar
    1 c Butter; softened
    1 ts Vanilla extract
    3/4 ts Almond extract
    3 1/2 oz Box pistachio pudding mix
    1 lg Egg
    2 c Unbleached flour
    1/2 c Chocolate chips, walnuts or
    - pecans MMMMM-------------------------FILLING--------------------------------
    1 1/2 c Powdered sugar
    1 ts Vanilla extract
    1 tb (to 3 tb) milk
    3 Drops (to 5 drops) green
    - food coloring MMMMM-------------------------TOPPING--------------------------------
    16 oz Bag Hershey chocolate kisses
    - (dark chocolate if you are
    - really evil)

    Set oven @ 350ºF/175ºC.

    In a large bowl, cream 1/3 cup powdered sugar, 1 cup of
    butter, 1 teaspoon of vanilla, and the almond extract,
    pudding mix, and egg in your cauldron until well
    blended.

    Lightly spoon flour into the measuring cup.

    By hand, bit by bit, stir in the flour and 1/2 cup of
    chocolate chips until well blended.

    Chant your favourite spell while you stir; it makes the
    time pass more quickly.

    Shape into 1" balls, and roll in the eye of newt (pecans
    or walnuts also work nicely).

    Place 2" apart on lightly greased cookie sheet.

    With thumb or wand, make imprint in center of each
    cookie.

    Bake for 10 to 14 minutes until edges are light brown.

    Let cool completely.

    In a smaller cauldron, combine all filling ingredients
    until smooth, and place a very scant teaspoon of this
    filling onto the center of each cookie. Top with a
    witch's hat.

    Yields: 24 - 36 cookies

    Title: Pork Chop Bake
    Categories: Main dish, Appetizers, Pork, Seandennis
    Yield: 6 Servings

    1 Bag (20 oz) refrigerated
    Cooked shredded hash brown
    Potatoes
    1 Can (11 oz) condensed
    Cheddar cheese soup
    1/2 c Sour cream
    1/2 c Milk
    3 c Chopped fresh broccoli
    Florets
    1 Medium onion, chopped (1/2
    Cup)
    1 T Olive or vegetable oil
    6 Bone-in pork chops (1/2 inch
    Thick)
    1/2 t Salt
    1/4 t Pepper

    Heat oven to 350F. In large bowl, mix potatoes, soup, sour cream,
    milk, broccoli and onion. Spoon mixture into ungreased 13x9-inch
    (3-quart) glass baking dish. Cover with foil; bake 30 minutes.

    Meanwhile, in 12-inch skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add 3
    of the pork chops; sprinkle with half of the salt and pepper. Cook 3
    to 5 minutes on each side or until pork is browned. Repeat with
    remaining pork chops, salt and pepper.

    Remove foil from baking dish. Place pork chops evenly on top of
    potatoes, overlapping slightly. Bake 25 to 35 minutes longer or until
    edges are bubbly and pork is no longer pink in center.

    Tips: Skip the pork chops and this casserole becomes a tasty side
    dish. Next time, try substituting 6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
    for the pork chops.

    Ingredients
    3 yellow squash
    Extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling Fresh basil & thyme for garnish, optional

    Herb oil
    1 tablespoon lemon juice
    1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
    1 small garlic clove, grated
    2 tablespoons parsley, finely chopped
    ¼ teaspoon sea salt
    Freshly ground black pepper

    Bread Crumb Topping
    ¼ cup panko bread crumbs
    ¼ cup Vegan Parmesan
    1 tablespoon chopped parsley
    ¼ to ½ teaspoon sea salt
    pinch of red pepper flakes, optional

    Instructions
    Slice the squash into ¼-inch rounds. If the squash is large, slice the rounds into half-moons.

    Make the herb oil:
    In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper and shake to combine.

    Make the topping:
    In a small bowl, combine the panko, Vegan Parmesan, parsley, salt, several grinds of pepper, and a pinch of red pepper flakes, if desired.

    Heat a large skillet over medium heat with a few drizzles of olive oil. Add the squash and sauté for about 7 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally so that all sides get cooked. I like to cook mine until it's soft, yet still has a firm bite, but before it becomes too watery and mushy. Remove from the skillet and toss with the herb oil. Top with the panko mixture, and fresh herbs, if desired.

    Take care,
    Janis
