Update

Good Morning my good people, please excuse my lack of post over the last few weeks. I've started my first course in my Culinary program, and just completed my package for Graduate school. In addition summertime is a REALLY busy season in my home. I have added some recipes and plan on adding the ingredients within the next couple of days. Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

Braised beef shanks in red wine and beef broth

 

I used beef shanks for this recipe. I believe they were about 1-2 pounds a piece. The bone marrow IS in the meat.

 

Remove from package and rinse

 

 

In a large skillet maintain a medium to high heat. I used Olive oil to base the meat in.  Sprinkle salt and pepper on each side.

 

Turn meat over on both sides and ensure a quick and thorough braise.

 

Place in a large roasting pan after braising

 

 

Use 1/2 onion, 10 cloves of garlic and  1 celery stalk

 

Place all vegetables in a food processor and until VERY fine

 

Use 2 cups of red cooking wine and 2 cups of beef broth. You can also use a really dry red wine such as a chardonnay. Place in skillet that the meat was braised in . Add onions, garlic and celery and stir for 8-10 minutes

 

Pour the red wine and beef broth mixture and its contents that were mixed over the skanks in the roasting pan over the braised skanks

 

Cover with foil and cook for 4 hours on 350 degrees. Remove from oven and serve over mashed potatoes with your favorite vegetable.

Enjoy!!

Ground Turkey Meatloaf with Cream of Mushroom Sauce

Stuffed ground Turkey Bell Peppers

 

Stuffed bell peppers were first introduced to me by my cousin's grandmother who was from New Orleans. She would called them "millitants" I have had them stuffed with seafood, ground beef, ground turkey, corn and a variety of other things. I think this is a quick meal, when you have leftover rice (brown or white), quinoa or even small noodles.

Bread Crumb- Any store

Chicken and Poultry Rub- Sam's Club

Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning- Any Store

Old Bay- Any store 

2 pounds of fresh ground turkey 

This is about 2-3 cups of cooked rice from the night before 

I use 5 bell peppers. I had 2 halves of red and yellow. You can use the same color, or mix them up. It is a personal preference.  

Cut the stem of the bell pepper out, before you cut the bell pepper into two parts.  

If the stem is cut properly, when remove majority of the seeds will accompany the stem. Leaving a few seeds in will not harm the taste of the meal.

1/2 onion

1/4 cup of bell peppers minced

1 tablespoon or creole seasoning

1 tablespoon of Poultry seasoning

2 tablespoon of Old Bay

3/4 cup of bread crumbs

2 table spoons of Worcestershire sauce 

Combine all ingredients. Honestly I make sure my hands are realllly clean and I mashed everything together. I believe this mixes all the ingredients up thoroughly  

Stuff the bell peppers until there is a rounded top layer. I put about a tablespoon of olive oil in the bottom of the pan to ensure they won't stick. I also put 3 table spoons of water to create a steaming effect when the lid is on and they are cooking. 

Take one 8 ounce can of tomato sauce and pour over each bell pepper

Once sauce is poured thoroughly, cover and cook for 45 on 350 degrees

Eat and Enjoy!!!
