Bigos Recipe for Rookwurst

Pulled from another place where I wrote this, I found I bought a rookwurst and couldn't remember what I made with it.


Bigos

This is a quick recipe. Take a cup of shredded cabbage and start slowly sautéing, when it is soft and cooked (about 10 minutes) add a 3/4 of a cup of sauerkraut. Cut into small chunks your rookwurst and also add to the pan. Turn the heat up, Cook for about 10 minutes, stir so not to burn the cabbage, add a couple of spoons of tomato sauce or ketchup, salt 7 pepper to taste, cook another 3-5 minutes.. Taste better on a cold day. Just like, we are having today. This is an extremely simplified recipe of Polish Bigos/Bigus.

P.S. Some mashed potato on a side is an added bonus.

A favourite at our house.


Warm Cottage Salad using Pork Sausages

This recipe was on my other blog.  The blog has spam redirection at the moment, but I found my recipes somewhere else.  When it gets fixed I can check, but I'm sure it is the same.

Place potatoes in the base of a steamer and cover with cold water , bring to the boil covered and boil for 5 minutes . Reduce heat and place the beans in the top half of the steamer for further 4 minutes.
Remove the pan from the heat and set the beans aside , potatoes should remain in the water covered for a further 5 minutes.

Heat a large frying or griddle pan over a high heat and brown the sliced sausages well 2-3 minutes.

Place the Spinach ,tomaotes, beans , crumbled fetta and olives into a large serving bowl and toss well.

Cabana/Kabana Recipes

I think I have been spelling cabana wrong on my blog. I have a picture from my Christmas hamper club, very small, but I think it is spelt Cabana. I am expecting some in a hamper and working out my menu. Kabanos?

So far on my blog I have recipes for cabana:

Versatile Paella
Macaroni Cheese with Kabana
Curry & Kabana Sausage Rolls
Kabana Cassolet
Kabana Fritters

Google is pulling up lots more recipes, which I'm sure everyone can find themselves. But for my menu planning I am going to post some below. Kabana is cheaper than Kransky I think.

Chilli, Kabana & Pumpkin Soup
Don Kabana Paella
Don Pappardelle with Chilli & Cheese Kabana (uses rocket, yum)
Polish Kabanos Soup
Kabanos & Lentil Casserole (excellent recipe for adapting!)
Fennel Seed Sauerkraut with Kabanos, Spring Onions & Sour Cream (video) this is getting exciting!
Chickpea & Kabanos Soup (uses eggplant which I don't like that much, another adaption coming!)
Creamy Kabana Pasta
Leek & Kabanos Frittata

If you are feeling generous with the meat
Gumbo Styled Chicken
One Pot Chicken & Kabana (uses beans, kidney etc.)
Kabana, Bean & Silverbeet Soup (sounds like a chorizo one on the taste site)


Put all your favourite stuff out there on your blog, seriously all my favourite stuff is getting more on the net, than when it was only me blathering about it. Coincidence maybe, true. If you have something that is little known, share. Same with kranskys, whatever you like that isn't popular put it out there.

We starting using cabana in meals because of a recipe from the McCormicks site in Australia for a lemon paella. They have since changed the meat in this recipe. I must post it, it was originally in a magazine, the page I still have. It is a family favourite.

I have found the original. I have linked back to this recipe but the page changes. So will post recipe and link this time.

Spanish Lemon Paella

Ingredients

  • 100 g Kabana ( 1 stick ), sliced or 100g chorizo sausage, sliced
  • 1 1/2 cups arborio rice
  • 1.2L liquid (stock or water)
  • 1 1/4 tbsp Lemon and Pepper Seasoning
  • 2 tsp Turmeric
  • 1 cup roast chicken
  • 1 cup mixed seafood
  • 2 medium, ripe tomatoes, diced
  • 4 spring onions, sliced

Method

  1. Fry the sausage and rice in a large, non stick pan for 3 minutes.
  2. Add the liquid, one cup at a time, stirring so that the rice absorbs it all.
  3. Just prior to adding the last cup of liquid, add the seasonings and roast chicken. Cook for 3 – 4 minutes, to absorb all the liquid.
  4. Stir through the remaining ingredients, then remove from the heat. Serve with a squeeze of lemon juice and a handful of fresh parsley if desired.

From here: McCormicks Spanish Lemon PaellaLink

Our modification is using canned prawns. There may be some others. I noticed they have both meats on the recipe now, fantastic. I love the cabana version, and they spell it my way lol.

Beef Sausage Minestrone Soup

Close-Up of Sausages Linked Together Photographic Print


This is adapted from a chorizo recipe. We accidently used them up and had just normal sausages that you throw on the Barbie. This is probably the best minestrone I have had. Some in the end put me off minestrone. There is something about it. Maybe it is the tomato paste. This one doesn't need it. My husband used sumac, a favourite spice of mine. None of this spice combination makes you notice the spices, but at the same time it doesn't taste like boring carrot and celery. Make sense? I don't think it needed parmesan.

Sausage Minestrone

Ingredients (serves 6)
* 2 tablespoons olive oil
* 2 med- large brown onion, diced
* ½ tsp sumac
* ½ tsp oregano
* 1 ½ tsp hot paprika
* 1 tsp salt
* 4 garlic cloves, chopped
* 1 tsp chopped dried chilli
* 8 sausages, chopped
* 2 large carrot, peeled, diced
* 3 sticks celery, diced
* 400g can diced tomatoes
* 6 cups water
* 6 tsp chicken stock powder
* 1 1/4 cups dried small pasta shapes, such as spirali , ricini, broken penne (I suggest macaroni)
* 1/2 cup frozen peas
* 400g can cannellini beans, rinsed, drained
* 1/4 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves, chopped
* grated parmesan cheese and crusty bread, to serve

Method
1. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook sausages, when nearly fully cooked, slice thinly and then put back into pan. Add spices and continue to cook.

2. Add onion, when nearly cooked then add carrots, celery and garlic. Cook, stirring often, until well cooked. Add stock powder.

3. Stir in tomatoes and water (boiling) Bring to the boil. Add pasta and simmer, uncovered, for 10 to 15 minutes or until pasta is just tender. If peas frozen can add soon.

4. Stir in peas, beans and parsley. Simmer for 7 minutes or until beans are warmed through. Season with salt and pepper.

5. Ladle soup into warmed bowls. Sprinkle with parmesan. Serve with crusty bread.

Chorizo & Silverbeet, Carrot & Potato Soup

* 1.5L water
* 800g potatoes, peeled, cut into 2cm chunks
* 1 bunch silverbeet, trimmed, leaves sliced and stalks chopped finely
* Crusty bread, to serve

Method
1. Heat oil in a large saucepan on medium high heat. Cook chorizo until cooked, then slice and put back into saucepan.
2. Add onion cook till soft, add garlic potatoes, carrots and cook for about 10 mins.
3. Add stock powder and 1 tsp salt.
4. Then add boiling water (from jug). Add silver beet stalks, cook 5 mins.

Frankfurter Recipe

Paella Being Served at Hotel Neptuno, Valencia, Spain Photographic Print


This recipe I invented. My husband did the hard work of making it work. It was a combination of three recipes, the first one being a frankfurter paella recipe. It is a variation of our usual paella as well because we copied those spices and the method which is actually the way my husband's Mum used to do fried rice. That method has been helped along with the canned tomatoes making it easier to eat. Without the extra meat the roasted red capsicums from the jar really makes it. We think it is versative because you have have the cooked chicken it in and/or canned prawns or leave them out. Our usual recipe has those. Our recipe varies from the McCormick one on the link because originally the McCormick one had kabana, my husband uses his Mum's method, and I have found it easier to use canned prawns or crab. If I am at the supermarket and want to make this I just buy the cooked chicken, a can of seafood, some fresh tomatoes and some shallots. The one below is more a pantry staple dish. I try to keep frankfurters as emergency food in a box for such things in case of blackouts. Which is why my husband brought it out, I needed extra food and he found the box.

Versatile Paella

Ingredients (serves 6)
* water
* 1 brown onion, finely chopped
* 3 large garlic clove, thinly chopped
* 150g green beans, topped, cut into 3.5cm pieces (stir fried)
* 3 cup arborio rice or long grain
* 1 x 400g can diced Italian tomatoes
* 2 tbs lemon pepper.
* 1 tsp tumeric
* 4 tsp chicken stock powder
* 80g bought roasted red capsicum in jar, cut into 2cm X 4 mm strips
* 1 green capsicum
* 1 can of frankfurters or we think we would actually prefer kabana like we usually use
* Oil, salt & pepper

Method
1, Turn electric frypan on high and put rice in, add oil until all grains coated with oil.

2, Place large frypan on stove on med – high heat and place chopped beans on with 1 – 2 tabs oil.

3, Fry beans until nearly cooked, then add onion and a bit later the garlic and chopped capsicum.

4, When nearly all the grains of rice have changed colour (turn down heat) add boiled water about a cupful at a time.

5, After a while add lemon pepper, stock powder, turmeric and cooked beans, onion etc into cooking rice.

6, Cut frankfurters into thinish slices and fry on stove frypan.

7, Pour tomato juice on rice and cut tomatoes into chunks, add sliced roasted capsicum and fried frankfurters to cooked rice.

8, If rice too wet leave lid off, stir rice to help dry out.

9, Serve.

Minced Lamb Recipe

As you know I love buying minced lamb when I can. Then I sometimes get upset with my recipes I think. So I found this one today in one of my seldom used cookbooks these days. Smart Food by the AWW, p 27.

Bread, Rolls and Olives in a Moroccan Shop Photographic Print


Bucantini with Moroccan Lamb Sauce

2 teaspoons olive oil
1 small brown onion (80g), chopped finely
2 cloves garlic, crushed
500g minced lamb
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 x 415g cans crushed tomatoes
1 large zucchini (150g), chopped coarsely
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint
375g bucatini pasta

Heat oil in large saucepan, cook onion and garlic, stirring, until onion softens. Add mince, cook, stirring until changed in colour. Add spices, cook, stirring until fragrant.

Stir in paste, undrained tomatoes and zucchini, bring to the boil. Reduce heat, simmer, uncovered about 15 minutes or until sauce thickens slightly. Stir in mint.

Meanwhile, cook pasta in large saucepan of boiling water until tender; drain. Serve pasta topped with sauce.


I don't usually like cinnamon, but because it is a AWW recipe I will see how it goes, I expect it is nice.

Pork Sausage Recipes


Hofbrau House - Lunch, originally uploaded by VirtualErn.



In the past I was collecting these pork sausage recipes. Recently I have pork chipolatas from Coles, but not pork sausages as I haven't been driving to the shop I used to go to. But if I start doing that again, since then some new recipes have been published on the web. I will put the ones that look vaguely interesting to me, then when I try them I'll have to let you know my favourites.

Chicken Mince Recipes



We haven't made much with chicken mince lately, and have our favourite recipe for chicken mince that I have posted on my main blog here, a long time ago lol (2008). I have been looking through my old foodie magazines, my husband put them in a box, just foodie magazines, and I look through one a day when the sun streams through my window during this record cold winter.

I found a page with various minces (ground meat) including another of my favourites, pork mince. The pork mince one hasn't been published on the Taste site so I will type it up, and try it when I got shopping normally again, maybe in a month or so.

Chicken Paella

Edited to say that on Wednesday night after I posted this, we had a BBQ chicken and tabouli mix as per my menu plan. However we didn't have olive oil (usually it is always there in the cupboard) to make up the tabouli. So I happened to find this recipe (was not related to this post or memory of finding it at all, because I didn't remember lol).

Anyway, the recipe is lovely. We usually make a paella from the McCormick's site. This was just as nice, and the saffron didn't bother us. I vaguely remember Gillian McKeith saying, perhaps on Ready Steady Cook, that basmati rice is easy to digest? Anyway, that is what I found, this paella is very soft and nice. We will be making it again, with double the paprika.

In case I have missed any other great chicken mince recipes I am doing a search. Previously when we first started using chicken mince, we made chicken balls and chicken lasagne. The other recipe is a pasta recipe, creamy. So to find something different and practical, more practical than the balls.

Easy Chicken Chow Mein

Something to go with packets of tabouli mix:

Moroccan Chicken Rissoles

Creamy Chicken & Spinach Bake features pumpkin and crushed potato chips

My reference point (though vague without the thought of actually eating it at this stage) is what would I like to cook if I had chicken mince
