Roasted-Tomato Serrano Sauce
Salsa de Jitomate

Makes about 3 cups
Recipe from Season 6 of Mexico - One Plate at a Time

Ingredients

One 28-ounce can fire-roasted diced tomatoes in juice
1 ½ tablespoons vegetable or olive oil
2 garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped
2 fresh serrano chiles, finely chopped
About 1 cup chicken broth
Salt

Directions

Pour the tomatoes and their juice into to a blender and pulse to a very coarse puree. Heat the oil in a medium (3-quart) saucepan over medium. Add the garlic and chile and cook, stirring until the garlic softens and begins to brown, about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes to the saucepan, and cook, stirring nearly constantly, until the mixture has reduced to the consistency of tomato paste, about 7 minutes. Add the broth and simmer over medium-low until the sauce is the consistency of cream soup, 20 to 30 minutes. Taste and season with salt, usually a generous ½ teaspoon.

P.S. sorry, but I lost my pea salad recipe during the Hurricane do to flooding, so you'll have to PM CBZ40.

Pretty sure the health department has put a band on the pea salad...:laugh2:

industrial strength margarita

1 part (your favorite) tequila
1 part Mr/Mrs T's tequila mix
ice cubes to taste

Purists will object that a mix has been substituted for the essential ingredients, but after a couple of these, they won't care anyway...

But it is good for degreasing machined parts. It works better then trichloroethylene.

Chicken Gumbo Pot Pie

This is a great one for me because the "gumbo" part reminds me of being back around Southeast Texas.

INGREDIENTS
2-4 slice(s) bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (my wife makes me use turkey bacon for health purposes and it still tastes good. I usually put 3 pieces in.)
1 pound(s) skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch chunks
1 teaspoon(s) salt
3 tablespoon(s) olive oil
1/4 cup(s) all-purpose flour
1 cup(s) chicken broth
4 medium stalks celery, sliced ** optional - I hate celery
1 (1-pound) jumbo onion, chopped
1 medium red pepper, chopped
1 tablespoon(s) Cajun seasoning
1 bag(s) (16-ounce) frozen sliced okra **optional - tastes fine w/o
1 can(s) (14 1/2-ounce) stewed tomatoes
1 package(s) (17.4-ounce) frozen puff pastry sheets, thawed (fancy words for pie crust)
DIRECTIONS

1. In 12-inch nonstick skillet, cook bacon on medium 6 to 8 minutes or until browned, stirring occasionally. With slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper towels to drain. Sprinkle chicken all over with 1/2 teaspoon salt. With bacon fat in skillet, cook chicken 6 to 8 minutes or until no longer pink inside. With tongs, transfer chicken to medium bowl.

2. In same skillet, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil on medium 1 minute. Stir in flour and cook about 7 minutes or until deep golden-brown, stirring constantly. Gradually add in chicken broth, stirring with whisk to prevent lumps; heat to boiling. Boil 1 minute, stirring. Remove skillet from heat.

3. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In 5- to 6-quart Dutch oven, heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add celery, onion, and pepper, and cook about 10 minutes or until all vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally. Stir in Cajun seasoning; cook 30 seconds. Add chicken-broth mixture, frozen okra, stewed tomatoes, and 1/2 teaspoon salt; heat to boiling on high. Stir in chicken chunks and bacon; reduce heat to medium and cook 7 minutes, stirring occasionally.

4. Place 1 pie crust on the bottom of a pie pan. Fill with gumbo and cover with the second pie crust pinching pastry corners together & cutting six 1-inch slits in pastry to allow steam to escape during baking.

5. Bake the pot pie 35 minutes or until pastry is golden-brown and puffed. Let stand 5 minutes before serving. **This is important again as it can be slightly runny if you don't let it sit. You can freeze them and they still taste good reheated! MMM- enjoy!!

TIPS & TECHNIQUES

To reheat after thawing 24 hours:

Conventional oven: Heat, loosely covered, at 400 degrees F 30 minutes; uncover and bake 40 minutes longer or until crust is golden-brown.

Microwave oven: Not recommended — crust must bake in conventional oven.

Wow, a 50/50 tequila to mix rita. You aren't kidding about not caring later.

A pre-mix is ok for a cheap easy margarita, just never try that with a Bloody Mary/Maria.

1 1/2 oz Absolut or Patron
Salt, Pepper
Worchestershire Sauce
Tobasco (lots, i like it spicy)
Lemon (not lime, lots of people use lime, this is a mistake)
Tomato Juice
Garnish with Jalepeno Stuffed Olives

Occasionally, I like to mix a little horseradish in for fun

Shake vigorously to mix. Having it completely mixed is key.
