Yummy Recipe Tuesday – Chicken Fricasse

02/02/2011 by Sandra Leave a Comment

This is one of my favorite recipes to make for my family.  I love chicken too, my husband says we are going to turn into chicken.  When we do eat chicken it’s most likely inspired by hubby.  Between the two of us we eat almost all our meals at home, every once in while we eat out but not very often since paying off our debt.

Chicken Fricasse

What you need:  2 2lb chickens, 3 cloves garlic, 1 sour orange, 1 green pepper,  1 large onion, 1 can tomato sauce, 1/3 cup oil, 1/2 cup capers (I leave these out most of the times), 2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper, 1 cup dry wine, 1 lb potatoes,

What to do:

Cut chicken into quarters, and cover with crushed garlic, sour orange juice and onion and green pepper rings.  Brown chicken quarters in hot oil, add the onion, green pepper and orange and then the tomato sauce, capers, wine, water, salt and pepper.  When this is half cooked, add the potatoes and finish cooking.  Just before serving, petit pois may be added if desired.   Serves 8

Serve this over white or brown rice  We make brown rice  98% of the time now, I still revert back to the white rice my mom and grandma used to make when I was growing up.

We make this and save the leftover for lunch the next day for my husband at work and for me and the kids at home.

Yummy Recipe Wednesday – Stringed Beef Ropa Vieja

01/26/2011 by Sandra Leave a Comment

My grandma used to make this often for us.  My mom didn’t make it so often as she didn’t like to cook much, she only cooks when she needs to.  Lately all she cooks is healthy for you, like egg whites, seaweed and other things that she blabs about constantly but can’t remember now. (sorry mom I do love you)

Stringed Beef (Ropa Vieja)

String the beef.  Slice onions and green pepper. Crush garlic and fy in hot oil with onion.  Add green pepper and fry a little more.  Add remaining ingredients, cover and cook over low heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to avoid sticking.  The red pepper may be added now or used to decorate.  Serve with rice or salad.

Serves 8 but in our home it serves 4 with a little left over 🙂
