**** This Weeks Winners ****

# 1 - Chicken Cacciatore

On Sundays, especially in the Autumn, I like to make a hearty
one pot meal for dinner. This was perfect. Delicious and the
chicken was fall-off-the-bone soft. Really wonderful. Served with
some white rice and a green veggie, it was just delicious.

Chicken Cacciatora (Pollo alla Cacciatora)

Recipe By : Patricia Wells' Trattoria by Patricia Wells, p. 228-229
Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Poultry

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
----------------------------------------------------
1 4 lb chicken, cut in 8 pc -- at room temperature
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper -- to taste
3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 tbsp unsalted butter
1 small onion -- minced
2 ribs celery -- thinly sliced
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes -- or to taste
1 28 oz can peeled Italian plum tomatoes -- in juice OR
1 28 oz can crushed tomatoes in puree
sprig parsley, rosemary, celery leaves -- tied in bundle*

Season the chiekn liberally with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, combine the oil and butter over high heat. When hot, add several pieces of chicken and cook, skin side down, until it turns an even golden color, about 5 minutes. Turn the pieces over and brown them on the other side, about 5 minutes more. Do not crowd the pan, brown the chicken in several batches. Carefully regulate the heat to avoid scorching the skin. When all the pieces are browned, transfer them to a platter.

Add the onion, celery, crushed red peppers, and salt to the fat in the pan and cook over moderate heat until the onion and celery are soft and translucent, 4-5 minutes. If using whole canned tomatoes, place a food mill over the skillet and puree the tomatoes directly into it. Crushed tomatoes can be added directly from the can. Add the herb bundle, stir to blend, and simmer for about 5 minutes. Bury the chicken in the sauce, and simmer, partially covered, until the chicken is cooked through, 25-30 minutes more. Remove and discard the herb bundle.

Transfer the chicken to warmed dinner plates, along with the sauce. Serve immediately. Makes 4-6 servings.

Risa's notes: I served it with some white basmati rice and a green veggie (this time asparagus).

----------------------------------------------------

NOTES : * make a bouquet garni with a couple of sprigs of parsley, fresh rosemary, celery leaves and a bay leaf and tie it up with some butchers string or in some cheesecloth.

# 2 - Vegetarian Tacos/Burritos

Tonight I made some vegetarian taco filling with Texturized Vegetable
Protein (TVP) granules that I found on the Veg-Recipe list awhile back.
The only thing I changed was using a serrano pepper instead of a jalapeno
and using some ground aji amarillo instead of the chili powder. It came
out great. I put it in some flour tortillas and we had burritos. Delicious.

I am giving you the recipe for the filling alone. Not the burritos. You should
know how to put those together by now.

I served it with white rice and a salad.

# 3 - Tex-Mex Casserole

This originally was supposed to be a chicken and side dish kind of night
but I checked the freezer and found I had no chicken (this is nothing
new) but I did have turkey sausage. So I made a casserole out of the
side dish and it came out really good. Here it is...
