Kramer,

Take some flour and butter and make a roux. Pour in 1 pint heavy cream. Add 1 tablespoon pesto.

I usually just buy it at the store. But here's a recipe.

I do mine with pecans being that we're from Texas.

1/4 cup pecans
2/3 cup basil pressed
1/4 cup parsley pressed
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese
Olive oil roughly 1/4 cup if it looks to dry add a little more.
a little salt and pepper


For a stuffing
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1/2 cup corn bread crumbled
3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons pesto
chicken broth or water if you must to get it to clump up


stuff that inside a slit in your chicken breast.


I just made this up off the top of my head. A little bacon grease and bacon crumbles in the stuffing would be a bangup meal as well.

Pan fry on low and serve with the gravy.

Voila!

How about the enchilada sauce and the carne guisada from Yomi's???

[mesquitecountry]

Chicken parmesan is easy.

Take
4 chicken breast
3/4 cup bread crumbs
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
Italian Seasoning
Salt and Pepper
Flour
Milk/egg wash
spaghetti sauce
mozzarella cheese

Prep your batter station.
Dry wet dry
Flour, then 1/2 cup milk and one egg mixed together, last bread crumb mixture with bread crumb, italian seasoning, salt, pepper, parmesan.

Next pan fry with just a little oil about 3 minutes per side flipping twice on each side.

When golden brown ladle a couple of spoon fulls of spaghetti sauce and some grated mozzarella on top of that. Place it under the broiler for about 1 minute and you're done.

Use remaining spaghetti sauce for some pasta.

On the enchilada sauce and carne guisada I'm not sure what they use its been so long since i've been there.

They're fairly simple if I remember correctly. Give me a little time on this.

[Fightinaggies]

Thanks Travis. Do you have a special spaghetti sauce recipe?

[rmf92hunt]

No problem, just seeing if you knew.

[mesquitecountry]

Barrett,

I do tomato sauce, italian seasoning and a little this or that. just play with it.



Rmf,

I'm fairly certain they are standard issue. cumin, onion, garlic, salt paprika, and a little chili powder.

Travis, do you happen to have any good jalapeño jelly recipes?

[mesquitecountry]

Do you mean, to make jalapeno jelly or to make with jalapeno jelly?

[scotth89]

A recipe to make jalapeño jelly.

[mesquitecountry]

I made this about two years ago. It was pretty good or at least I thought. Jalapeno Jelly kind of weirds me out a bit.

4 Medium Jalapenos seeded and chopped 2 all pepper in a food processor
1/2 Green Bell Pepper seeded and chopped
6 1/2 cups Sugar
2 1/2 Cup Apple Cider Vinegar
1 Cup Water
3 Drops Green Food Coloring
6 oz. liquid fruit pectin

Heat sugar, water, and vinegar in a pot. Once disolved (~10 min) add in peppers. Simmer for five minutes. Stir in coloring and pectin, simmer until it coats the back of a spoon then remove from heat.

Fill jars and seal as normal.
