Well, I just returned from home after having some dental work done and all I can think about is the food I can't eat right now. Anyway here's a recipe some of you may enjoy.


SansGUI's Beef Stew with Green Chiles and Dumplings


Total Ingredients:

2 Pounds of Boneless Beef Stew Meat
4 Cans (14oz) of a Clear Chicken Broth – Fat Free, Less Sodium
25-30 Whole Baby Carrots
8-10 Roasted Hatch Green Chiles (Peeled, and diced)
5-6 Medium sized, Potatoes (Cut into 1 inch x 1.5 inch chunks)
1 Small sized Onion (Diced)
3 Cups of an All Purpose Flour
3 Tablespoons of a Pure Vegetable Oil
½ Cup of All-Vegetable Shortening
3 Teaspoons of Baking Powder
1 Tablespoon of a Chinese Five Spice (Anise, Cinnamon, Star Anise, Cloves, Ginger)
1 Tablespoon of Garlic Powder
1 Teaspoon of Sugar
1 Teaspoon of Lemon Juice
1 Teaspoon of Worcestershire Sauce
1 Teaspoon of Salt
½ Teaspoon of Pepper
½ Teaspoon of Paprika
2 Whole Cloves
1 Cup of 2% Milk
1 Cup of Pulp Free Orange Juice


Directions

Mix ¼ Cup Flour with 1 Tablespoon Chinese Five Spice in a One Gallon Ziploc Baggie. Add the 2 Pounds Boneless Stew Meat then close the Baggie. Shake the Baggie until all of the meat is covered.

Pour 4 Cans Chicken Broth into at least an 8 Quart Pot and bring it to a boil. Add 2 Whole Cloves, 1 Tablespoon Garlic Powder, 1 Teaspoon Sugar, ½ Teaspoon Salt, ½ Teaspoon Pepper, ½ Teaspoon Paprika, 1 Teaspoon Lemon Juice, 1 Teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce, 1 Diced Onion, 4 Sliced Green Chiles.

Heat 3 Tablespoons of Vegetable Oil in a Skillet or Frying Pan. Add the Boneless Stew Meat from the Baggie. Brown the Meat on all sides but do not cook it. Then add the Meat to the Chicken Broth, cover the Pot, reduce the heat and let simmer for 1.5 hours.

Remove the Cloves from the Pot. Add the Cut Potatoes, Whole Baby Carrots, and 4 Sliced Green Chiles. Replace the cover on the Pot and let simmer for an additional 30 – 45 minutes until the Potatoes are tender.

Raise the heat for the Stew to medium. In a bowl, mix a ½ Cup Flour with 1 Cup Orange Juice. Pour mix into the Pot (This will thicken the gravy) and stir for 5 minutes. Reduce the heat and return to a simmer. Add 2 Additional sliced Green Chiles if you want to be able to see Green Chiles when the Stew is done.

In a large bowl, Mix 2 ¼ Cups Flour, 3 Teaspoons Baking Powder, ½ Teaspoon Salt. With a Fork cut in ½ Cup Shortening. Now add 1 Cup Milk and continue to mix until you have a dough. Make approx 1 - 1.5 inch dough nuggets and add to the stew. Cook Dumplings uncovered for approx 10 minutes, then cook covered for an additional 15 minutes.

Warning the Stew is very hot and will burn your mouth, let it cool down for a few minutes.

Try serving it topped with Shredded Lettuce, Diced Tomatoes, Mild Cheddar & Monterey Jack Cheeses.

Let me know what you think...

yum..........Smores

I used to have this camper cooking thing that sandwiched everything together then you put in the campfire for a minute to melt it all. It also worked great to make pizza sandwiches.

My Avatar is indeed how the recipe turns out.

I'm a little biased as to how it tastes. Everyone that has eaten some...claimed they liked it. :lol:

Here's a little recipe for everyone to enjoy. It's called "The PI Breakfast."

Ingredients:

1 Bottle of bourbon half emptied on the floor from when you passed out
1 Cigarette preferably half smoked from the night before when you fell asleep with it in your mouth.
1 Lighter to relight your smoke.
1 Glass to hold your bourbon (ice optional)

Enjoy!

Works for me, but the Liquid in that glass looked a little clear, shouldn't it have a brownish color???

Now that I look a little closer at the picture, it doesn't help the Brownish color any, considering the picture is White & Black...
Look at the broken match sticks in the ashtray and look at the filter of the cigarette... Colorless... lol

Heh...guess the PI breakfast works for some. I can assure you however, that neither I, nor my supervisor, partakes of that type of breakfast... :lol:

Why is it they always taste better that way?

Just a little health tip... Not quite sure why, but relighting a cigarette is supposedly worse for you than having finished it to begin with... Can't remember where I heard that...

That's not quite as bad as the guy I worked with at the Tram with a few years ago. If he was out of cigs, he'd get the half smoked ones out of the customer ashtray outside and relight them... :shock:

Yeeaah....he was a special kid....
