    Title: Hot Pants Chilli

    Here's a chli-ish recipe. This part amused me:

    "Turn fire off at night."

    MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

    Title: Hot Cowboy Beans
    Categories: Beans
    Yield: 1 Batch

    2 lb Dried pinto beans
    1/2 lb Salt pork; slashed into a
    - fan shape
    1/2 lb Ham, hamhock, or bacon;
    - up to 1 lb
    2 md Onions; coarsely chopped
    2 Jalapenos; up to 3,
    - canned or fresh seeded,
    - finely chopped
    1 Fresh green chilies;
    - up to 3,
    - seeded and chopped
    1 tb Worcestershire sauce
    1 1/2 oz Chili powder (1/2 bottle)
    Salt; to taste

    Pick over beans for rocks; wash and soak overnight. Next morning,
    cook in soaking water. Add remaining ingredients and enough fresh
    water to cover the beans by about 2". Bring to boil, then reduce heat
    and simmer. For 3 days stir and inhale the marvelous aroma from time
    to time. Turn fire off at night. Keep covered at all times. Watch
    water; you may have to add a little as you go along. Of course you
    can eat these beans the first day, but here's the way the cowboys did
    it: They ate a few the first day. Let them cool at night. Cooked them
    the next day and then again. By the third day they were rubbing their
    bellies and saying they sure as hell wished they'd waited, 'cause the
    beans was just getting' good.

    You did note that none of those vegan recipes I posted had the "Dirty Dave's Kitchen" tagline, right?

    I'm an omnivore. Once in a while I'll [eat a salad].

    But, mostly I'm gonnna have dome dead animal flash as part of my grub.

    I was hit by a doozy of a virus and was unable to eat for two days.
    Now my appetite has returned and i am catching up...

    Title: Cơm Tấm (Grilled Pork Chop With Broken Rice)
    Categories: Pork, Vietnamese
    Yield: 2 Servings

    1 c Rice
    2 Eggs
    2 Pork chops; marinate with:
    1 tb Lemongrass; minced
    3 cl Garlic (1 tb); minced
    1 Spring onion; chopped
    1 tb Fish sauce
    1 tb Soya sauce
    1 tb Sugar
    1/4 ts Pepper
    2 tb Vegetable oil

    MMMMM------------------------BROKEN RICE-----------------------------
    1 1/4 c Normal rice

    After marinating pork chops, cover with plastic wraps and put in the
    fridge for at least 2 hours.

    Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C.

    Grill the pork for 15 minutes.

    Turn over and grill for another 15 minutes.

    Depending on the thickness of the pork chop, you may need to grill it
    5 to 7 minutes longer. But if you grill it too long, the meat will
    get too dry. So set an alarm clock!

    Make broken rice:

    Soak rice in water for 1 hour.

    After that, rub rice with your hands or with help of a pestle.

    After soaking in water for 1 hour, the rice has become softer and
    it's very easy to get broken.

    Make sunny side up eggs using a heart-shaped mold.

    Categories: Beef, Potatoes, Chilies, Vegetables
    Yield: 7 Servings

    3 oz Monterey Jack; grated on
    - small holes of box grater
    1 tb Unsalted butter
    1 md Onion; chopped fine
    1 md Rib celery; chopped fine
    1 cl Garlic; minced or pressed
    2 ts Minced fresh thyme leaves
    1 ts Paprika
    1/4 c Tomato juice
    1/2 c Chicken broth
    2 lg Eggs
    1/2 ts Unflavored gelatin powder
    1 tb Soy sauce
    1 ts Dijon mustard
    2/3 c Crushed saltine crackers
    2 tb Minced fresh parsley leaves
    3/4 ts Table salt
    1/2 ts Ground black pepper
    1 lb Ground sirloin
    1 lb Ground chuck

    MMMMM---------------------------GLAZE--------------------------------
    1/2 c Ketchup
    1 ts Hot pepper sauce
    1/2 ts Ground coriander
    1/4 c Cider vinegar
    3 tb Packed light brown sugar

    Adjust oven rack to middle position; heat oven to
    375ºF/190ºC. Spread cheese on plate and place in freezer
    until ready to use. Prepare muffin pan/sheet by buttering
    individual cavities.

    Heat butter in 10" skillet over medium-high heat until
    foaming; add onion and celery and cook, stirring
    occasionally, until beginning to brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Add
    garlic, thyme, and paprika and cook, stirring, until
    fragrant, about 1 minute. Reduce heat to low and add tomato
    juice. Cook, stirring to scrape up browned bits from pan,
    until thickened, about 1 minute. Transfer mixture to small
    bowl and set aside to cool.

    Whisk broth and eggs in large bowl until combined. Sprinkle
    gelatin over liquid and let stand 5 minutes. Stir in soy
    sauce, mustard, saltines, parsley, salt, pepper, and onion
    mixture. Crumble frozen cheese into coarse powder and
    sprinkle over mixture. Add ground beef; mix gently with
    hands until thoroughly combined, about 1 minute. Transfer
    meat to muffin tin/sheet, filling each cavity until slightly
    mounded. Smooth top and edges of meat mixture with moistened
    spatula. Bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted
    into center of cupcake reads 135º-140ºF/60ºC.

    Remove cupcakes from oven and turn on broiler.

    While meat cooks, combine ingredients for glaze in small
    saucepan; bring to simmer over medium heat and cook,
    stirring, until thick and syrupy, about 5 minutes. Spread
    half of glaze evenly over cooked meat loaf with rubber
    spatula; place under broiler and cook until glaze bubbles
    and begins to brown at edges, about 5 minutes. Remove meat
    cupcakes from metal pan and place in individual fluted paper
    cupcake forms. Spread evenly with remaining glaze; place
    cupcakes into a clean muffin tin/sheet and place back under
    broiler to cook until glaze is again bubbling and beginning
    to brown, about 5 minutes more. Let cool about 20 minutes
    before decorating.

    Use instant mashed potatoes at a consistency to be piped
    through a pastry bag to "ice" the individual cupcakes. Top
    with a Peppadew.

    That made me read all the way thru the instrructions to finkd out what
    was the deal with the "Broken Rice". Now I know how the recipe writer
    does it. But, I still don't see why.

    From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broken_rice

    Mechanical separators are used to separate the broken grains from the
    whole grains and sort them by size.

    The broken varieties are often less expensive, and so are preferred by
    poorer consumers, but they are also eaten by choice, with some cookbooks describing how to break unbroken rice to produce the desired texture or
    speed cooking.

    Yield: 6 servings

    4 lb Beef stew meat; ground once
    3 lg Onions; chopped
    2 tb Oil
    Salt & pepper
    2 ts (heaping) cumin seeds
    6 cl Garlic

    14 oz Can tomatoes
    1 ts Sugar

    1 qt Water
    4 Jalapenos; chopped
    1/2 c Masa (corn flour)
    Water

    In a pot, brown the meat and onions in the oil. Season
    with salt and pepper to taste.

    Using a molcajete (mortar and pestle), grind the comino
    seeds and the garlic with a little water and add to the
    meat.

    In a blender, combine the tomatoes, sugar, beer, chili
    seasoning, and chili seasoning and chili powder. Add the
    mixture to the meat.

    Add the mole paste, Tabasco, salt, water and jalapenos
    and cook for 2 1/2 hours, stirring well from time to
    time.

    At the end of the cooking time, make a runny paste of
    masa and water and add it to the chili. This will
    thicken the chili, but stir it fast or it will be lumpy.
    Cook 30 minutes more.

    Yields 6 servings.

    Title: Pad Thai, Rainbow Vegetarian With Peanuts And Basil
    Categories: Thai
    Yield: 4 Servings

    MMMMM----------------------------DISH---------------------------------
    4 oz Brown rice noodles
    1 Zucchini
    1 Red pepper
    1/2 Yellow onion
    2 Carrots
    2 tb Oil
    1 Egg; beaten
    1/2 c Peanuts; chopped
    1/2 c Fresh herbs like cilantro,
    - scallions, and basil;
    - chopped

    MMMMM---------------------------SAUCE--------------------------------
    3 tb Fish sauce; (or vegan "fish
    -sauce" from the hippy
    -store)
    3 tb Brown sugar
    3 tb Broth
    2 tb White vinegar
    1 tb Soy sauce
    1 ts Chili paste

    Place the uncooked noodles in a bowl of cold water to soak.

    Spiralize the carrots, onion, red pepper, and zucchini into
    noodle-like shapes. Not too long.

    Shake up the sauce ingredients in a jar.

    Heat a tablespoon of oil over medium high heat. Add the veggies--stir
    fry with tongs for 2 to 3 minutes or until tender-crisp. Be careful not
    to overcook them--or else they'll get soggy and heavy. Transfer to a
    dish and set aside.

    Add another tablespoon of oil into the pan. Drain the noodles--they
    should be softened by now. Add the noodles to the hot pan and stir
    fry for a minute, using tongs to toss. Add the sauce and stir fry
    for another minute or two, until the sauce is starting to thicken
    and stick to the noodles. Push the noodles aside to make a little
    room for the egg--pour the beaten egg into the pan and let it sit
    for 30 seconds or so. Toss everything around with the tongs. The
    egg mixture will stick to the noodles and everything will start to
    get sticky.

    Add in the vegetables, toss together, and remove from heat. Stir in
    the peanuts and herbs and serve immediately.

    There is a fine line between the mixture being Just Right and Too
    Sticky. Usually too sticky happens when you cook it too long. Watch
    it carefully and once you see it starting to come together, remove
    from heat right away and toss with veggies.

    Title: Hot Cowboy Beans
    Categories: Beans
    Yield: 1 Batch

    Texas chauvinists will declaim proudly "There ain't no beans in Texas
    chilli!" Often whilst spooning more pintoes into their serving of red.

    And, truly, there are nop beans in "competition" chilli. To wit:

    "Traditional Red Chili is defined by the International Chili Society as
    any kind of meat or combination of meats, cooked with red chili peppers, various spices and other ingredients, with the exception of BEANS and
    PASTA which are strictly forbidden. No garnish is allowed."

    Chilli was supposedly invernted by cooks on trail drives using foraged
    chilies from along the trail to the railhead. These were used to cover
    the tas6te/smell of unrefrigerated meat that was getting old. And as I
    often remind those no-beans clowns the trail cook always has a pot of
    beans going - beef was to sell for money. Beans were to feed the help.3
    Unless an animal had to ber "put downm"/ Them there was meat until the
    lack nof refrigeration made it impossible to eat.

    Reference the beans scene from Blazing Saddles. Bv)=

    Title: Dirty Dave's Coney Island Hot Dog Sauce
    Categories: Beef, Vegetables, Chilies
    Yield: 48 Servings

    1 1/2 lb Finely ground beef
    1 1/2 lb Minced beef heart
    1 lb Suet
    2 tb Minced garlic
    1 tb Yellow mustard
    6 oz Water
    6 oz Tomato paste
    3 tb Chilli spice mix
    Salt & pepper

    Render the suet in a large skillet and cook the hamburger
    and beef heart until the meat has no pink left, stirring
    to break up any hint of lumps.

    Add the garlic and mustard. Mix the tomato paste with
    the water and add to the skillet, stirring the while.
    Now stir in the chilli spice and salt and pepper as you
    wish. Continue to cook until the mixture is done.

    Place in a stainless steel steam table vessel for serving
    over good quality (preferably all-meat) hot dogs.

    Stir sauce before dipping onto the sandwich so as to
    incorporate plenty of red "oil" to soak into the good
    quality buns. Top each Coney dog with yellow mustard
    (unless it's for me) and chopped onions. And plenty of
    napkins to catch the oil that wants to run down the
    customer's arm and stain his shirt.

    My sister introduced me to putting lentils in spaghetti, which i doubt is
    a traditional Italian way to serve spaghetti, but i've taken a liking to
    it. Adds some vegetable fiber and protein to the mix.

    "Traditional Red Chili is defined by the International Chili Society as
    any kind of meat or combination of meats, cooked with red chili peppers, various spices and other ingredients, with the exception of BEANS and
    PASTA which are strictly forbidden. No garnish is allowed."

    Makes me wonder what they are afraid of. Are BEANS and PASTA all that good, that it will throw a chili competition off kilter?

    Reference the beans scene from Blazing Saddles. Bv)=

    I remember watching that movie as a kid, and indeed your recipe title
    brought it to mind.

    p.s. I just re-read the echo rules and realized that I have been posting
    UTF-8 encoded recipes, which is expressedly forbidden! I will correct
    that lapse in judgment.

    Title: Chicken Curry From Reunion
    Categories: African, Chicken
    Yield: 4 Servings

    4 cl Garlic
    4 Whole cloves
    4 tb Peanut oil
    6 Whole chicken thighs
    2 md Onions; small mince
    1 1/2 tb Ground turmeric
    2 c Canned whole tomatoes with
    - their juice; run through a
    - blender until almost
    - pureed
    1/2 ts Dried thyme -OR-
    1 ts Fresh thyme; if available
    1 c Water (approximate)
    Salt and freshly ground
    - black pepper
    1/2 c Fresh parsley; minced

    Preheat the oven to 325?F.

    Grind the garlic and cloves to a fine paste in a mortar and pestle.

    On high heat, heat the peanut oil in a heavy, non-reactive oven-proof
    skillet. Add the chicken, browning it well on both sides, about 10
    minutes or longer. Add onions and cook until transparent, another 10
    to 15 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent onions from burning.
    Toss the turmeric and the garlic over the chicken and stir in. Cook
    another 3 minutes. Add tomatoes and thyme, reduce the heat and cook
    the tomatoes until bubbling. Stir the bottom of the pan to loosen any
    browned bits.

    Add water, salt, and pepper to the skillet, bring to a boil, cover,
    and place skillet in oven. Cook about 45 minutes.

    If sauce is still a bit too liquid, remove chicken to an oven-proof
    serving dish, cover, and place in 200?F oven. Put skillet on a
    burner turned to high heat and reduce the sauce until thickened.
    Serve chicken, topped with lots of sauce and sprinkled with parsley,
    sided with fluffy white rice.

    I seldom do meatless pasta. And, to my certain knowledge, never lentils.
    Still, something the keep in mind. If I'm doing no-meatd w/my pasta it's
    more likely to be a pesto. The recipe belowcalls for "cut" pasta wgich
    is 'shapes'. I usually do penne (angle cut small tubes) or rotino (cork screws).

    "Traditional Red Chili is defined by the International Chili Society as any kind of meat or combination of meats, cooked with red chili peppers, various spices and other ingredients, with the exception of BEANS and PASTA which are strictly forbidden. No garnish is allowed."

    I don't think they're afraid of an ything. Just that was the 'original' competition red chilli. There is also a "Home Style" with beans and/or
    other dreck included. And chile verde made with green chilies - but NO
    BEENZ as well as a Salsa category whichis nactually Pico de Gallo"

    I tend to ;translate those as I see them. When I'm pounding in recipies

    Title: Broccoli-Walnut Pesto Pasta
    Categories: Pasta, Vegetables, Nuts, Herbs, Citrus
    Yield: 5 servings

    Salt
    4 c Broccoli florets
    1 lb Cut pasta
    1 Garlic clove; smashed
    2 c (packed) fresh mint leaves
    Black pepper
    1/2 c Extra-virgin olive oil; more
    - for serving
    1 Lemon; zested, juiced
    Parmigiano-Reggiano; for
    - serving
    1/2 c Walnuts; chopped

    Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil over high
    heat. Add 1/4 cup salt, then add the broccoli. Cook,
    stirring occasionally, until bright green and just
    tender, about 5 minutes. Use a spider or slotted spoon
    to transfer to a food processor; keep the water boiling.

    Drop the pasta into the boiling water and cook according
    to the package’s directions for al dente. Reserve 1/2
    cup pasta cooking water.

    Meanwhile, add the garlic to the broccoli and pulse,
    scraping the bowl occasionally, until smooth. Add the
    mint, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Pulse
    until smooth, then add the oil with the machine running.

    Drain the pasta well and transfer to a large bowl. Stir
    in the pesto. Add 2 tablespoons lemon juice and 1/2
    teaspoon each salt and pepper and toss until the pasta
    is evenly coated. If the mixture seems thick, fold in
    the reserved pasta water, 1 tablespoon at a time. The
    mixture will thicken as it cools, so you want it to be
    saucy. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

    Divide among serving dishes and top with lemon zest,
    then grate cheese over. Sprinkle with the walnuts, grind
    more black pepper on top, then drizzle with olive oil.

    Serve hot, warm or room temperature.

    TIP: The pasta with the pesto will keep in the
    refrigerator for up to 3 days. Garnish with the lemon
    zest, cheese, walnuts, pepper and oil right before
    serving. Note that the pesto will oxidize after a day
    and darken into a khaki green. If packing for lunch, put
    the pasta in an airtight container and scatter the
    garnishes on top. If you want to keep the walnuts extra
    crunchy, you can keep them separate and sprinkling them
    on right before eating.

    Title: Broccoli-Walnut Pesto Pasta

    Thanks, this recipe looks my style. Here's another broccoli walnut pesto recipe from recipesource.

    Once while visiting a friend, they had an abundance of mint in the garden,
    so i made mint pesto. Once i added all the other ingredients, it didn't
    taste all that minty. It tasted surprisingly similar to basil pesto.
    The difference was that with the numerous little mint leaves, it took
    longer to clean and process.

    Mint will do that. It's a rhizome propagator and will take over a lawn

    Title: Broccoli Pesto (Brody)
    Categories: Vegetables, Pesto
    Yield: 1 Cup

    Even though I like a nice pesto sauced pasta now and then I'm not big
    on pesto although I did promote a hemp pesto when Doug and I ran the head-shop. And, oddly, this stuff didn't trigger my marijuana allergy.
    Which was a good thing. The gummint used to pay landowners to grow hemp
    during WWII. Which led to a lot of "ditch weed" along the roads - turning them into "high" ways. And I still dunno what in the hemp plant throws me
    into projectile vomiting and killer headaches - so I just leave it all
    alone where found.

    Title: Hemp Pesto
    Categories: Sauces, Condiments, Grains, Citrus, Herbs
    Yield: 1 1/3 cups

    1 c Shelled hemp seeds
    2 c (tightly packed) fresh basil
    1/2 ts Salt
    Fresh ground black pepper
    2 tb Lemon juice
    2 cl Garlic; minced (or more)
    2/3 c Water
    2 tb Extra virgin olive oil

    Place hemp seeds in a food processor fitted with the S
    blade. Grind till they're powdery.

    Add basil and pulse to combine well.

    Add salt, pepper, lemon, garlic, and pulse again.

    With the motor running, add water in a thin stream, as
    if you were making a nut pate. Stop once in a while to
    scrape the bowl. Keep adding water until the pesto is
    still quite thick, but not pasty.

    Keep motor running, and finish the pesto by drizzling
    in the 2 tbsp EVOO. This isn't necessary, but it'll
    give the pesto a more traditional mouth feel and flavor!

    Yields approx 1 1/3 cup
