I get it at Walmart or Kroger. Its the mixed cajun spice.

You can use it instead of salt in many recipes.Tony used to say "When it's salty enough it's spicey enough"

I used to have to have my sister in Louisana send it to me but you can but it in most regular grocery stores now.

 

Try this for a good soup on a winter day:

If you want to be a purest you should use Andouille Sauage I also throw in a ham bone

 

Black eyed pea soup

1/2 pound fat free kielbasa or smoked sausage. ( I use the turkey kielbasa sausage)

POST RECIPE !!!! I would visit Lonna but, you would be there to and would have to eat also , Don't think she could make enough for the both of us....

I'm thinking that you have not been around when Lonna does the cooking,,,, if she seen you coming, even I would have something to eat.

 

 

PS. I'm not sure I said that right,,, yep, could be taken more than one way,,,,,,,,,,,,,

FROGMORE STEW = original name

(because of outsiders- specifically Yankees, name variants are Beaufort Stew, Low Country Stew,, or Shrimp Boil)

No frogs give their life for this carnation.

Between the Atlantic ocean and Beaufort SC is a small Gullah town that WAS called Frogmore, SC,,, till outsiders (yep Yankees) moved in and didn't like the "silly" yet historic name.

Now it's called St. Helena. This "shrimp boil", if you will, was coined there by the locals as Frogmore Stew.

FROGMORE STEW

Ingredients depend on # of people,,,, I have cooked for 20-30,,, but let's keep it down.

Fresh shrimp, 1/2 lb per person. Heads off please,, you don't want to eat food that looks back at you.

Polish or smoked sausage, 1/2 link per person.

New potatoes, small round are best, say 6-10 per person.

Corn on the cob, break in half, 2-4 per person.

Can add blue crabs whole if you want,, that's old recipe stuff. But you woun't find those in the waters around Akron.

News paper.

For seasoning, Old Bay seafood seasoning,,some cut onions, red peppers (or a bit of Tabasco sauce),

salt, can of a beer (have several on hand- or in hand).

I prefer to cook on the burner outside (turkey cooker pan).

Fill pot with water, put in seasonings, bring to a boil.

Remember you are going to toss in stuff so don't fill the pot too high.

Toss in in this order,, say 5-10 minutes apart,,, have another beer between each ingredient

a) potatoes

b) corn

c) sausage & crab if you got one

wait till last five minutes, then

d) toss in the shrimp - I prefer to let the shrimp steep rather than hard boil.

they will float to the top when they are dead (kidding). Just make sure they are done,, grab one, run it in cool water a few seconds eat it.

Then, assuming this is a true "Throw Down",,, cover a picnic table with news paper,, drain the water and then dump the entire stew along the length of the newspaper.

Now, grab a beer and everyone sit down and eat. Paper plates are best, a roll of paper towels,,, you need a bone yard for the shrimp peels and corn cobs.

I take store cocktail sauce and add about 1/3 horse radish and some lemon juice (a splash of bourbon is good too, thanks Mom).

Serious note: Warning,,, if you do this in the house you may want to hold off on beer in the stew. The alcohol will release the peppers to the air and create a light weight nerve gas that will make most start coughing. Took me several years to figure that out,,, it was the beer!

Enjoy,

Mike G in SC (grew up in Beaufort SC)

Cooking Cabbage Pigs in a Blanket Using the Crock Pot

Cabbage Rolls, also known as Pigs in a Blanket, is a perfect dish all year round. If you have the time and patience to use the crock pot cooker or slow cooker, then you should give this amazing dish a try.

To prepare the cabbage, fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Core the cabbage and place it in the boiling water. Leave the pot covered and remove the cabbage head after 5 minutes. Take the leaves off each cabbage head making sure that the leaves are pliable but be careful not to tear them. If the leaves are still quite stiff, put it back in the pot for a minute or two.

Ingredients:

• 1 large cabbage heads

• 1-2 lbs lean ground beef

• 2 cups rice, cooked(I use spanish rice)

• 1 onion, large and chopped

• 1 hot pepper, diced finely

• 1 can tomato soup

• ½ can water (warm)

• 1 tsp. paprika

• 1 tsp. salt

Directions for cooking:

• On a large skillet, fry the ground beef and the chopped onion until it turns light brown and drain the excess grease.

• Mix the ground beef and onion together with the cooked rice, paprika, hot pepper and salt.

• Place the cabbage leaves on a neat surface and spread over the meat mixture on the center of each leaf.

• Wrap the meat mixture around the cabbage leaf by rolling it. The sides of the leaf must overlap.

• Place the cabbage rolls into the crock pot or slow cooker. Mix the can of tomato soup with ½ can of water and pour onto the crock pot as well.

• Turn the temperature to high heat and cover the rolls for at least 4 hours.

Never heard it called Pigs in a Blanket. Pigs in a blanket is usually sausage in some type of pastry roll. But, as we all know, many dishes are call various names around the country.. IE. Is it a Delmonico steak, a Kansas Strip or a New York Strip

[CaptainJoe]

German Pigs in the blanket or stuffed cabbage:

• 1 Large cabbage head

• 2-4 lbs lean ground beef

• 2 cups rice (uncooked)

• 1 onion, large and chopped(uncooked)

• 1 qt saurkraut (drained)

• 2 qt whole tomatoes, preferabbly home canned, pour the water off of the second qt only and chop up.

• 1 tsp. salt &pepper

Directions for cooking:

• Core cabbage. pull off leaves. In a large boiling pot blanch the leaves until tender. throw leaves in colander to cool off. next take each leaf and cut the center hard stem off so that the leaf is the same thickness.

• Mix the raw ground beef and onion together with the rice, and salt & pepper.

• Place the cabbage leaves on a neat surface and take a small fist size portion of the meat mix and place in center of leaf. take sides up and overlapp then roll leaf from thick side to tip.

• take the smaller blanched cabbage leaves and line a large turkey roaster.(if anything s gonna burn it will be them...) place the pigs in the pan and form two or three rows. take sauerkraut sprinkle over pigs then take chopped tomatoes spread over sauerkraut. then repeat you'll probably end up with 2 rows deep. now pour in the juice from one of the quarts of whole tomatoes..(dont pour in any more liquid or you'll have a big mess to clean up) LOL

• Place the covered roaster in oven at 350 for 2 hours then take top off and continue cooking at 350 for another half hour. till golden brown...

Lonna,

Can you post the gumbo recipe? Mom used to make gumbo when I was growing up but I haven't had it in years and she never shared the recipe.

[Pic]

This is a quick and easy one. I make it every year at the deer lease and it always disappears.

 

Tamale Pie

 

Get an aluminum foil throw away deep dish pan, about a dollar at Wally World

Line the bottom of the pan with tamales, about 2 doz will do (I buy them from a lady who makes them, but you can get them at the store in a can)

Cover the tamales with a large can of chili

Cover the chili with grated cheddar cheese (or cheese of you choice)

Mix up a batch of cornbread dough and cover the cheese (I usually use the store bought corn kits package)

Bake in oven at 350 till cornbread has risen.

 

Once the pan is empty just throw it away. The only cleanup is the bowl you mixed the cornbread in.

Rick's Fried Rabbit

My dad and I were avid hunters, and here is my recipe for fried rabbit. It's delicious!

 

1 rabbit, cut up

2 T. salt

3 eggs, beaten

2 c. flour

1/2 tsp. salt

1/4. tsp pepper

 

Cut up rabbit.

In a lg. pot, fill about half way with water. Add 2 T. salt, and bring to a boil. Add rabbit, and parboil for 1/2 hr. Drain and let cool.

Beat eggs in a bowl.

Put flour on a plate, and mix with salt and pepper.

Dip rabbit pieces, one at a time, into egg, and then flour mixture.

Meanwhile, on high, heat 1/2" of oil in a lg. cast iron frying pan.

When oil is hot, add rabbit pieces, one at a time into the oil.

When one side is golden, flip over to the other side. Cook until golden brown and crispy.

 

Drain each piece on a paper towel, to soak up grease.

Serve hot, with your favorite side dish.
