    Categories: Desserts

    I believe I'll make this tonight. Without worrying about all the vegan
    bush-wa. It's a lot simpler than the one I was going to make, having
    already raided my neighbour's tree. Bv)=

    A super easy but mouth1wateringly delicious summer galette that uses
    up all your peaches!

    I do beg to doubt that statement, though. That tree is fairly prolific.

    Here's what I was going to do before I saw your much-less fiddley-butt
    version. I'll save this one for when I'mm feeling more ambitious. Bv)=

    Title: Peach Galette
    Categories: Pastry, Desserts, Fruits
    Yield: 6 Servings

    MMMMM---------------------------CRUST--------------------------------
    1 1/4 c Flour
    1 1/2 ts Sugar
    1/2 ts Salt
    4 oz Butter; in small cubes,
    - chilled in freezer at
    - least 15 min, preferably
    - an hour
    4 tb (to 6 tb) ice water

    MMMMM--------------------------FILLING-------------------------------
    2 lg Not-over-ripe yellow peaches
    - pitted, sliced 1/4 - 1/2"
    3 tb Sugar
    1 tb Flour
    1/2 ts Vanilla extract
    1 tb Almond paste (opt)
    1 ts Butter

    MMMMM---------------------------GLAZE--------------------------------
    1 lg Egg
    Sprinkle coarse sugar (opt)

    Make the crust dough. In a food processor, pulse the
    flour, sugar, and salt, until well mixed. Add the cubed
    butter, and pulse 8 times. The butter should still be the
    size of peas in the mixture. Slowly add the ice water, a
    tablespoon or two at a time, pulsing after each addition,
    until the dough just begins to clump. Turn out onto a
    clean surface. Use your clean hands to form into a disc.

    Do not over-knead. Work the dough only enough to bring it
    barely together into a disk. Sprinkle with a little flour
    on all sides, wrap with plastic, and place into the
    refrigerator to chill for an hour.

    Preheat the oven with the rack in the middle position to
    425ºF/220ºC. Place the peach slices in a bowl and sprinkle
    with the flour and sugar. Toss gently to coat. Sprinkle
    vanilla extract over the peaches.

    In a small bowl, whisk the egg until smooth and set aside.

    On a lightly floured, clean, smooth surface, roll out the
    dough to about a 12" diameter. Gently lift up the rolled
    out dough and place it on a rimmed baking sheet.

    If you are using almond paste (not necessary, but a nice
    addition if you have it), dot the middle 6-inch circle of
    the dough with the almond paste. (If you can spread it,
    great. Otherwise, just dot with little bits.) Arrange the
    peach slices in an overlapping pattern in a single layer
    in the center of the dough, forming about a 7 or 8-inch
    circle. Dot with a little butter.

    Fold the outer edges of the dough round over the filling,
    by about 2-inches all the way around, in an accordion
    fashion. Use a pastry brush to coat the exposed dough with
    an egg wash (you can cook up the leftover egg as a little
    scrambled egg, by the way), and sprinkle with coarse sugar
    if using.

    Place in the oven and cook for about 15-20 minutes, until
    nicely browned. Remove from the oven and let cool on the
    baking sheet, over a rack, about 15 minutes.

    Great served with a little vanilla ice cream.

    Makes 8 servings.

    Yesterday someone gave me some old, frozen bacon and salt pork. I never
    cook with those ingredients. I imagine they would go well with beans in
    a crockpot. Maybe some kind of chili. I just need to select a recipe..

    Sweet, tasty and filling. My house-mate's kid ate half of it - so there
    were no left overs.

    Try this one and sub the salt pork for the ham chunks. If you do - you
    will want to ditch the Miso Paste in favour of another TB of soup base.
    The salt pork (or bacon) wsith the miso would cause salt overload.

    Title: Dave's Red Beans & Rice
    Categories: Beans, Pork, Rice, Chilies, Herbs
    Yield: 12 Servings

    1 lb Red beans; rinsed, rocks
    - picked out and discarded
    1 lg Onion; peeled, chopped
    1 lg Bell pepper; cored, chopped
    2 Ribs celery; chopped
    1 tb Garlic; minced
    1 California bay leaf
    1/2 ts Thyme
    1 tb GFS (Minor's) chicken base
    +=AND=+
    1 tb White miso paste
    +=OR=+
    2 tb GFS (Minor's) chicken base
    1/2 ts Chilli spice
    Salt & pepper
    Cayenne
    Hot pepper sauce
    1 Smoked ham hock
    1 lb Ham chunks
    +=OR=+
    1 lb Smoked sausage; in 1" pcs
    1 c White or brown rice
    1 bn Green onions; chopped,
    - for garnish

    You may soak your beans or not. Put beans in a pot
    and boil hard for five minutes to get starches to
    start converting.

    Drain the beans and put them with water, onions,
    bell pepper, celery, garlic, seasonings and ham hock
    into a large crockpot. Set the pot to high and cover.

    Once the pot has come to a good simmer stir in the
    rice and soup base(s) re-cover the crockpot and go
    check your email for an hour or so. Then add the ham
    or sausage.

    Cook until beans are tender. If the dish appears too
    "soupy" add a tablespoon or two of arrowroot mixed
    with an equal amount of cold water to thicken.

    Some people smash some beans on the side of the pot to
    thicken gravy.

    Serve in bowls and garnish with the chopped green onion.
    Pass the hot sauce for those who like some more spice.

    Thanks for the recipe, i plan to try it. I am not sure how soon. I'll let
    you know how it turns out. I figure i will use the salt pork in your
    recipe and the bacon to make Frijoles Charros. See recipe below.

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

    Title: Frijoles Charros (Pinto Beans With Bacon And Chiles)
    Categories: Mexican
    Yield: 8 Servings

    1 lb Dried pinto beans (450 g)
    Kosher salt
    12 oz Diced bacon (340 g) (see
    -note)
    1 md White or yellow onion; diced
    2 Serrano chilies; minced -OR-
    1 Jalapeño; minced
    3 cl Garlic; minced
    28 oz Diced fire-roasted tomatoes;
    -(2 cans) (see note)
    6 c Homemade, or store-bought
    -low-sodium chicken stock
    -(1.4 l)
    2 Bay leaves
    2 Epazote sprigs (optional)
    Fresh cilantro leaves and
    -fine stems; chopped

    Active time: 20 minutes Total time: 1 hour 10 minutes, plus overnight
    soaking time for beans

    Place beans in a large bowl and cover with water by double. Add 2 tb
    (30 g) kosher salt and stir to dissolve. Let soak 8 to 12 hours.
    Drain and rinse.

    Heat bacon in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat, stirring
    constantly, until fat is rendered and bacon is just starting to brown
    around the edges, about 5 minutes. Add onion and chilies and cook,
    stirring, until softened and just starting to brown, about 4 minutes.
    Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add
    tomatoes (see note) and cook, stirring and scraping up browned bits
    from the bottom of the pan, until the liquid is thick and the mixture
    begins to sizzle, about 3 minutes.

    Add beans, stock, bay leaves, 2 ts (10 g) kosher salt, and epazote (if
    using). Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce to a bare simmer,
    cover, and cook until beans are just tender, about 45 minutes. Remove
    lid and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until beans are
    completely creamy and liquid has thickened into a rich, creamy broth.
    Season to taste with salt. Discard bay leaves, stir in cilantro, and
    serve. Beans can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

    Notes:

    In place of the canned fire-roasted tomatoes, you can also use 1-1/2
    lb fresh Roma tomatoes. Char the tomatoes directly over a gas flame,
    on a grill, or with a torch to remove the skins. Split into quarters
    and cut out and discard the cores. Dice and use as directed in the
    recipe.

    Epazote is a Mexican herb that can be found in Mexican specialty
    shops. If fresh epazote is unavailable, use a large pinch of dried in
    its place, or omit.

    This recipe is great over a campfire. If cooking over a live fire,
    you can use salt pork in place of the bacon for a more naturally
    smoky flavor.

    This one looks like someone swiped it from Serious Eats and filed the
    cereal numbers off of it. It probably was written by J. Kenji Lopez-Alt
    who is all over the cooking worl including Simply Recipes and New York
    Times cooking section. BTW - those are also called "Cowboy (or Mexican
    Cowboy) Beans.

    Later ... I checked my database and I was right. It's a lightly edited
    (by leaving a few things out in the directions) crib from Serious Eats
    and Mr. Lopez-Alt.

    Here's my chilli beans recipe for when I'm feeling frisky and don't have
    a supply of Brook's Chili Hot Beans in a can handy. Bv)=

    This recipe (and most dried beans recipes) works in a crock pot so long
    as you boil the beans hard for fifteen minutes to get the starch
    conversion started.

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

    Title: Dave's Chilli Beans
    Categories: Beans, Chilies
    Yield: 4 Servings

    2 c Dried pinto beans
    1 ts Oil or bacon dripping
    1 md Onion; chopped
    3 cl Garlic; mashed
    8 oz Can tomato puree or paste
    2 ts Ground cumin
    1 tb Chilli spice *
    Salt & pepper
    1 md Bell pepper; cored, diced
    1 Dried red chile; ground
    Water; as needed

    * Mexene, Baron's, Ray's, etc.

    Soak beans overnight, if desired. Then drain and add
    fresh water. Boil the beans hard for 10 to 15 minutes
    to kick start the conversion of the starches. Reduce
    the heat to a nice four bubble simmer and cover the
    pot. Cook until tender but not mushy.

    Saute onion and garlic in oil. Add tomato, chilli
    spice, salt & pepper, parsley and ground red pepper
    with a little water.

    Boil for 10-15 minutes. Add to beans and add the cumin
    at this time, cook for 25 minutes or longer.

    I'm not the only guy who files the serial numbers off of recipes. But,
    when I do it I note that in the notes/credits section. I used to think
    that Lopez-Alt was a NY Times guy ... because that's where I first saw
    his imprint. And because his ecipes are a frequent thing in their food
    section (I'm a subscriber). Then I noticed his output all over the "big" cooking and/or food sites - like Chowhound, Serious Eats, etc. Sort of
    like Emeril or Marfa Stewart.

    Categories: Pork, Breads, Cheese
    Yield: 35 balls

    1 lb Pork sausage; room temp
    2 c Bisquick baking mix
    1 lb Shredded Cheddar cheese;
    - cold

    Set the oven @ 350oF/175oC and line a large, rimmed
    baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Add the room-temperature sausage and Bisquick to a large
    bowl. Use your hands to mix until mostly combined. Add
    half the cheese and knead it in, followed by the rest of
    the cheese, until a cohesive mixture forms.

    Form the mixture into walnut-sized balls, placing them
    about an inch apart on the sheet. Bake until browned on
    the bottom and cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes.

    Yield: 35 balls (approx)

    NOTE: temperature is key. Your sausage has to be room
    temperature and your cheese has to be cold. Otherwise,
    it's too hard to mix and all of the cheese will melt out
    as soon as it hits the oven. For extra tidy balls, stick
    them in the fridge for 30 minutes after forming them and

    I made your Red Beans & Rice recipe yesterday and it was delicious.
    I am happy with how it turned out, thanks!

    The salt pork was plenty salty. It did not need any soup base nor
    any additional salt.

    I used jalapenos instead of a bell pepper. I de-seeded and de-veined the jalapenos, so i could serve it to my housemates. They liked it too.

    Glad to help.

    I used jalapenos instead of a bell pepper. I de-seeded and de-veined
    the jalapenos, so i could serve it to my housemates. They liked it
    too.

    The seeds don't carry much heat. It's the placenta (veins) that do that. Jalapenos came in all anner of SHU heat levels - from the very mld ones
    that Pace has contract grown for their grcery store sauces - so they can
    adjust the heat levels to a "standard" in the manufacturing process - up
    to the "Biker Billy" jalapenoes developed by Billy Hufnagle which have

    Later ... I checked my database and I was right. It's a lightly edited (by leaving a few things out in the directions) crib from Serious Eats and Mr. Lopez-Alt.

    Interesting! Would you be willing to post the Serious Eats recipe?

    With your Red Beans & Rice recipe, how would you cook the salt pork?
    Ahead of time in a frying pan? Or just chop it and cook with the
    other ingredients in the crockpot?

    If it's salted fatback (almost no meat) then just chop small and add to the crockpot, I do the same with the ones with meat but some like to brown them up and may or may not add the fat into the crockpot. I do add the fat but then I'm running 103 these days so trying to keep my weight up.

    Done deal - see below.

    Thanks!

    I'd just do it like pork and beans - cook it right in w/the beenz.

    That sounds easier, i'll do it that way.

    I am munching a lovely (sorry, not mm) bean dish.

    8oz dry butter beans (large dry limas)
    3oz chopped salt fatback
    1 Pho Seasoning cube*
    water to cover plus 1.5 inch water

    Use a medium crock pot and add it all in. Cook on medium or high until simmering then low.

    *Pho seasoning cubes are just salt and a common mix of spices added to Pho broth. Bit of garlic, black pepper (some use white pepper), crushed cardamom seeds and other minor notes. Can be omitted or just add a bit of garlic and salt to taste.

    Alternative: powdered Pho broth is an outstanding flavor match!

    Call it 'xxcarol's butter beanies!

    I just gave Robin (Don and our friend) 8oz dry beans, a Pho cube and she has some salt pork, this after she tasted mine. I get the Pho cubes from a nearby 'American Asian Grocery' for 2.89 for 18 cubes. They may have gone up but I like them so will replace.
