Free Recipes Sausage and Green Pepper Ragout

Sausage and Green Pepper Ragout 

Source: Casual Cuisines of the World - Taverna

Serves 4

This rustic stew of sausages and sweet green peppers is a specialty of the 
villages on Mount Pelion in central Greece. The traditional loukanika sausage 
is subtly seasoned with orange zest, marjoram, coriander and allspice.. You may 
want to add a bit of these aromatics to the stew if you can find only Italian 
sausage. Serve with simmered white beans or crusty bread.

RECIPE INGREDIENTS

4 tablespoons olive oil
1 lb Greek loukanika or Italian sausages, sliced 3/4 inch thick
1 lb long sweet green peppers, seeded, deribbed and cut lengthwise into strips 
1 inch wide
1 lb tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped (fresh or canned)
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice, optional
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander, optional
2 teaspoons grated orange zest, optional




RECIPE METHOD

In a large sauté pan over high heat, warm 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Add 
the sausages and brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, 
transfer the sausages to a plate and set aside.

Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil to the pan. Then add the sweet peppers and 
sauté over medium heat until softened, 5-8 minutes.

Return the sausages to the pan and add the tomatoes, oregano and, if using 
Italian sausage, add the allspice, coriander and orange zest. Cover and simmer 
over low heat until the flavors have blended and the sauce has thickened, 15-20 
minutes.

Season the ragout to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to a warmed serving 
dish and serve hot.

Free Recipes French Silk Pie

2008-04-25 Thread luvmygroops
From the Cooking.com website...

~

French Silk Pie 

Source: © EatingWell Magazine

10 servings


A creamy meringue is the secret to lightening the filling of this ultra-rich 
chocolate pie.

Make Ahead Tip: Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
 
RECIPE INGREDIENTS

For Crust:

30 chocolate wafers (see Ingredient Notes)
2 tablespoons chopped pitted dates
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon canola oil

For Filling:

1 tablespoon brewed coffee
1 tablespoon water
1 1/2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
1 large egg
1/2 cup 1% milk
8 tablespoons packed light brown sugar, divided
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, preferably Dutch-process
2 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) chocolate, chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 tablespoons dried egg whites (see Ingredient notes), reconstituted according 
to package directions (equivalent to 3 egg whites)
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
Chocolate shavings (see Tip), optional

Ingredient Notes: Many commercial cookies and wafers contain partially 
hydrogenated oil, a source of trans-fatty acids. Fortunately, brands made 
without these oils, such as Newman’s Own Organics and Mi-Del, are every bit as 
tasty. Look for them in the natural-foods section of large supermarkets. 

Dried egg whites, such as Just Whites, reconstituted, can be substituted for 
fresh egg whites. 

Tip: To make chocolate shavings: Place a block of chocolate (2 ounces or 
larger) on wax paper and microwave on Defrost until slightly softened but not 
melted, 15 to 30 seconds. Use a swivel-bladed vegetable peeler to shave off 
curls. If the chocolate gets to hard to shave easily, warm it again.




RECIPE METHOD

Preheat oven to 325°F. 

Coat a 9-inch pie pan with cooking spray.

FOR THE CRUST:
Combine chocolate wafers and dates in a food processor; process until finely 
chopped. Add water and oil and process until moistened. Press into the bottom 
and sides of the prepared pan.

Bake the crust until crisp, about 10 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack.

FOR THE FILLING AND GARNISH:
Combine coffee and water in a small bowl. Sprinkle gelatin on top and set aside 
to soften.

Whisk egg, milk, 3 tablespoons brown sugar and cocoa in a small saucepan until 
smooth. Cook over low heat, whisking constantly, until thickened and an 
instant-read thermometer registers 160°F, 5 to 7 minutes. Do not let the 
mixture come to a simmer. Remove from the heat. Add the reserved gelatin 
mixture; stir until dissolved. Add chocolate and vanilla, stirring until 
melted. Set aside to cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.

Place egg whites and cream of tartar in a large bowl. Beat with an electric 
mixer on low speed until frothy. Increase speed to high and beat until soft 
peaks form. Gradually add the remaining 5 tablespoons brown sugar, beating 
until the meringue is smooth and glossy.

Whisk one-fourth of the meringue into the chocolate mixture until smooth. 
Scrape chocolate mixture into the remaining meringue and use a whisk to 
incorporate it with a folding motion. Spoon into the crust and chill, 
uncovered, until set, about 3 hours.

If desired, garnish with chocolate shavings before serving.

Free Recipes Oven Baked Corn Dogs

Oven Baked Corn Dogs 
Recipe courtesy Rachael Ray 
Show: 30 Minute Meals
Episode: Board Walk Bites


Difficulty: Easy 
Prep Time: 7 minutes 
Cook Time: 17 minutes 
Yield: 4 servings 

2 boxes corn muffin mix, 8 1/2 ounces each (recommended: Jiffy brand) 
1 cup all-purpose flour 
2 eggs 
3/4 cup milk 
1/2 stick butter, melted 
1 tablespoon chili powder, eyeball it in your palm 
2 teaspoons cumin, eyeball it 
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper sauce (recommended: Tabasco or Frank's Red Hot 
2 scallions, finely chopped 
8 jumbo pork or beef franks 
Sweet Relish Slaw Salad, recipe follows 
1 bag reduced fat potato chips (recommended: Cape Cod brand or Terra brand 
Garlic and Onion flavor Yukon chips) 

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. In a shallow dish, combine muffin mix with the 
flour, then stir in the eggs, milk and melted butter. Season the mix with chili 
powder, cumin, cayenne and scallions. The batter will be a thick, sticky 
biscuit dough. Place a hot dog in the bowl of batter and swoosh it around to 
coat it. Remove coated dog to a nonstick cookie sheet and use your fingers to 
spread batter on any exposed dog spots. Don't coat it too thick, just shy of 
1/2-inch should do the trick. If it's too thick it will just slide off the dog 
while it's baking, leaving the dog exposed. If that happens don't sweat it, 
they will still taste great. Repeat until all 8 are coated. Bake 12 to 15 
minutes or until evenly deep brown all over. Serve the oven baked corn dogs 
with your favorite hot dog condiments. Serve with Sweet Relish Slaw Salad and 
with some baked or reduced-fat chips alongside the dogs. 

TIDBITS 

To serve these corn dogs on a stick, insert bamboo skewers into the bottom of 
the dogs. For parties, use mini dogs. You can coat up to 24 with one batch of 
batter. Serve them on 3-inch bamboo party skewers - TOO CUTE! 

Sweet Relish Slaw Salad: 
1 cup sweet pickle relish 
1/4 cup cider vinegar, eyeball it 
3 tablespoons vegetable oil, eyeball it 
2 large cloves garlic, crushed 
2 bay leaves, dried 
3 whole cloves 
1 pound shredded cabbage salad (slaw salad mix with carrots and red cabbage, 
available in produce department marked Cole Slaw Mix in 1 pound packages) 
Salt and pepper 
4 scallions, sliced 

In the bottom of a medium, shallow bowl combine relish, vinegar, oil, garlic, 
bay and cloves. Let stand 5 minutes then fish out the garlic, bay and cloves. 
Add cabbage salad and toss, let stand 10 to 20 minutes in the refrigerator. 
Season salad with salt and pepper, toss in the scallions then serve.

Free Recipes No-Flour Monster Cookies

2008-04-25 Thread luvmygroops
From the Better Recipes website...

~

These flour-free cookies are made with rolled oats only. The traditional peanut 
butter is here, along with chocolate chips, MMs, and a little Karo syrup.

Ingredients:
1 stick butter (1/2 cup) 
1 1/4 cups packed brown sugar 
1 cup granulated sugar 
1 tsp light corn syrup 
1 1/2 cup peanut butter 
3 eggs 
2 tsp baking soda 
1 tsp vanilla 
4 1/2 cups (uncooked) oatmeal (rolled oats) 
2/3 cup chocolate chips 
2/3 cup MMs candies 
Optional: 
Coconut 
Chopped pecans 
Method
Cream together the first 6 ingredients in a large bowl. Stir in baking soda, 
vanilla, and oats. Stir in choc. chips  MM's, and optional ingredients, if 
using. Drop by spoonful (however large you want) onto a lightly greased cookie 
sheet. Press to flatten slightly. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 15 
minutes. Let stand on cookie sheet for a minute or two, and then transfer to an 
air-tight container.

Notes: Do not overbake. They may look like they are not done after 15 minutes, 
but trust me, they are, and they will be the most moist cookie you have ever 
baked. I use air bake pans, but have also used a baking stone, and both work 
just fine.

Raspberry Whip

The original recipe for this attractive dessert called for regular gelatin and

just as good, relates Gale Lalmond of Deering, New Hampshire. It's especially 
nice after a large meal.

CATEGORY: Dessert 
METHOD: Chill
TIME: Prep: 15 min. + chilling
Ingredients: 
1 package (.3 ounce) sugar-free raspberry gelatin 
1 cup boiling water 
2/3 cup cold water 
1 cup (8 ounces) reduced-fat vanilla yogurt 
1 cup fresh or frozen unsweetened raspberries, drained, divided 
Directions: 
In a mixing bowl, dissolve gelatin in boiling water. Stir in cold water. Cover 
and refrigerate until partially set, about 30-45 minutes. Add yogurt. Beat on 
medium speed until light and foamy, about 2-3 minutes. Refrigerate for 15 
minutes. 
Divide 2/3 cup raspberries among six dessert dishes. Top each with about 
1/2 cup gelatin mixture and remaining raspberries. Refrigerate until serving. 
Yield: 6 servings.

Eggplant Parmesan 

From Food Network Kitchens 

Prep Time: 1 hour 15 minutes 
Cook Time: 1 hour 
Yield: about 4 to 6 main course servings

2 medium eggplant (about 2 1/4 pounds), cut into 1/2-inch-thick round slices 
Kosher salt, as needed, plus 1 tablespoon 
5 cups fresh breadcrumbs 
1 tablespoon dried oregano 
1 tablespoon dried thyme 
Freshly ground black pepper 
Vegetable oil for frying 
All-purpose flour for dredging 
6 large eggs, beaten 
2 tablespoons whole milk 
Olive oil, as needed 
7 cups QUICK MARINARA SAUCE, recipe follows 
2/3 cup grated Parmesan, divided 
1 pound fresh mozzarella, thinly sliced 

Arrange the eggplant slices on several baking sheets and sprinkle generously 
all over with kosher salt. Set aside to let the bitter juices weep from the 
eggplant, about 1 hour. Transfer the eggplant to a colander in the sink, and 
rinse well under cold running water. Transfer eggplant to a work surface and 
blot very dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, whisk together the 1 1/2 
teaspoons salt, breadcrumbs, oregano, thyme, and season with pepper. Place the 
flour in a medium lipped plate or bowl. In another medium bowl, whisk the egg 
and milk together. Dredge an eggplant slice in the flour, then dip it in the 
egg, and finally dredge it in the breadcrumb mixture. Shake off any excess 
breading and transfer the eggplant to a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining 
eggplant. In a large straight-sided skillet, pour the oil to a depth of 1/2 
inch. Heat the oil over medium heat until it registers 400 degrees F on a deep 
frying thermometer. (The oil must be
 heated to 400 degrees F. so that the breaded eggplant, when added, will drop 
the temperature of the oil to the proper frying temperature of 375 degrees F.) 
Working in small batches, fry the eggplant slices, turning once, until golden 
brown, about 3 minutes per batch. Using tongs, transfer to a paper towel-lined 
baking sheet and season with salt to taste. Repeat with the remaining eggplant. 
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly brush a 15 x 10- x 2-inch-baking 
dish with olive oil. Cover the bottom of the baking dish with 1/3 of the 
marinara sauce and arrange half of the eggplant over the sauce. Cover the 
eggplant with another 1/3 of the sauce. Scatter half of the Parmesan and half 
of the mozzarella over the sauced eggplant. Repeat with the remaining eggplant, 
sauce, Parmesan, and mozzarella. Bake until hot and just beginning to brown, 
about 30 minutes. Serve immediately. 

QUICK MARINARA SAUCE 

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 
1/2 medium onion, diced (about 1/3 cup) 
5 cloves garlic, chopped 
7 cups whole, peeled, canned tomatoes in puree (about two 28-ounce can), 
roughly chopped 
2 sprigs of fresh thyme 
2 sprigs of fresh basil 
1 tablespoon kosher salt 
Freshly ground black pepper 

Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Saute the onion and 
garlic, stirring, until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes and 
the herb sprigs and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer, covered, for 10 
minutes. 
Remove and discard the herb sprigs. Stir in the salt and season with pepper to 
taste. Use immediately, store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or 
freeze for up to 2 months. 

Yield: about 3 1/2 cups

2 bunches of Broccoli, rinsed and cut 
1 large onion, quartered 
About 5 Plum or Romano tomatoes
1 Kielbasa Ring Sausage 

Put a small amount of grease in a large cast iron skillet, spray the bottom 
with cooking oil; then warm it over medium-high heat. Brown the sliced 
potatoes, making sure to turn as you cook for about 10 minutes. When the 
potatoes are browned and partially cooked, add the carrots, broccoli, and onion 
to the skillet. Add a bit of water if the vegetables seem to require a bit of 
steam to continue cooking. Toss the mixture occasionally to turn, and cook to a 
desired degree of doneness. Add the tomatoes and let them warm through. Add the 
Kielbasa and cover the skillet to warm the meat through, usually about 10 
minutes. Serve warm from the skillet.

Ultimate Beef Chili 

Offer garnishes, such as reduced-fat sour cream and grated Cheddar cheese 
(about 1 tablespoon each per person), chopped scallions and chopped fresh 
tomatoes. Serve with warmed corn tortillas and a green salad topped with orange 
slices.

Make Ahead Tip: Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 2 
months.
 
RECIPE INGREDIENTS

1 pound beef round, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch chunks
Salt  freshly ground pepper to taste
1 1/2 tablespoons canola oil, divided
3 onions, chopped
1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
6 cloves garlic, minced
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and finely chopped
2 tablespoons ground cumin
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon paprika
2 teaspoons dried oregano
12 ounces dark or light beer
1 28-ounce can diced tomatoes
8 sun-dried tomatoes (not packed in oil), snipped into small pieces
2 bay leaves
3 19-ounce cans dark kidney beans, rinsed
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons lime juice

Tip: For a hot, smoky chili, add 1 tablespoon chopped chipotle pepper in adobo 
sauce.




RECIPE METHOD

Season beef with salt and pepper. Heat 1 1/2 teaspoons oil in a Dutch oven over 
medium-high heat. Add half the beef and cook, stirring occasionally, until 
browned on all sides, 2 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with paper 
towels. Repeat with another 1 1/2 teaspoons oil and remaining beef.

Reduce heat to medium and add remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons oil to the pot. Add 
onions and bell peppers; cook, stirring frequently, until onions are golden 
brown, 10 to 20 minutes. Add garlic, jalapenos, cumin, chili powder, paprika 
and oregano. Stir until aromatic, about 2 minutes.

Add beer and simmer, scraping up any browned bits, for about 3 minutes. Add 
diced tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, bay leaves and reserved beef. Cover and 
simmer, stirring occasionally, until beef is very tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

Add beans; cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until chili has thickened, 30 
to 45 minutes. Remove bay leaves. Stir in cilantro and lime juice. Adjust 
seasoning with salt and pepper.

Light Feta Tacos

8 ounces mushrooms (portobello, shiitake, oyster, or a mixture) trimmed (stems 
removed if using shiitakes) 
2 tablespoons chile-flavored oil or olive oil 
2 poblano chiles 
1/2 medium white onion, thinly sliced 
8 lettuce leaves, washed and dried 
2 ripe tomatoes, cut into 16 thin slices 
1 avocado, peeled, pitted, and cut into 16 thin slices 
8 ounces feta, cut into 8 slices 
8 (6-inch) corn tortillas 
Salt to taste 
2 chipotle chiles in adobo, cut into thin strips, for garnish (optional) 
4 sprigs fresh cilantro, for garnish 
Heat a gas or charcoal grill or the broiler. 
Brush the mushrooms with the oil and grill or broil, turning once, until 
browned on both sides. Remove, cut into thin slices, and set aside on a plate. 
Place the poblano chiles on the grill or under the broiler and roast, turning, 
until the skins blacken on all sides. Place in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, 
and allow to steam until cool. Remove the skins, stems, and seeds and discard. 
Cut into thin strips and set aside on the plate with the mushrooms. 
Place the sliced onion in a colander, rinse under cold water, and shake well to 
drain. Place on paper towels and pat dry, then place on the plate with the 
mushrooms. Place the lettuce leaves, tomatoes, avocado, and feta in piles on 
another plate close by. 
Heat a medium skillet or griddle over medium heat. One at a time, place the 
tortillas in the dry skillet and warm on each side until they become pliable. 
Transfer to a work surface. Place a lettuce leaf on each tortilla and top it 
with 2 tomato slices, a few strips of mushrooms and poblano, a few onion 
slices, 2 avocado slices, and a slice of cheese. Sprinkle with salt and roll up 
into a tube. Secure with a toothpick if necessary. 
To serve, place 2 tacos on each serving plate. Garnish with the chipotle 
chiles, if using, and sprigs of cilantro. Serve immediately.

1/2 teaspoon Meat Tenderizer
3 cups water

Pan Drippings (1/2 cup from each steak)
2 cups chicken stock

California Lemon Pound Cake 

Citrus trees grow abundantly in California, and I'm always looking for new

one of my favorites! My mother passed this recipe down to me.

CATEGORY: Dessert 
METHOD: Baked
TIME: Prep: 15 min. Bake: 70 min. + cooling
Ingredients: 
1 cup butter, softened 
1/2 cup shortening 
3 cups sugar 
5 eggs 
1 tablespoon grated lemon peel 
1 tablespoon lemon extract 
3 cups all-purpose flour 
1 teaspoon salt 
1/2 teaspoon baking powder 
1 cup milk 
FROSTING: 
1/4 cup butter, softened 
1-3/4 cups confectioners' sugar 
2 tablespoons lemon juice

Double-Crusted Onion Calzone: Scalcione di Cipolla

Recipe copyright Mario Batali, 2002. All rights reserved. 
Show: Molto Mario
Episode: Favas 'N' Fish 


Difficulty: Intermediate 
Prep Time: 20 minutes 
Inactive Prep Time: 30 minutes 
Cook Time: 1 hour 
Yield: 6 to 8 servings

Dough: 
1/4 teaspoon dried yeast 
1/4 cup warm water (about 100 degrees F), plus 1 cup warm water 
4 cups flour, plus more for rolling out dough 
1/4 cup dry white wine 
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil 
Salt and pepper 

Filling: 
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for the pan and drizzling the crust 
2 pounds leeks, very thinly sliced 
3 tablespoons milk 
1 teaspoon sugar 
6 anchovy fillets, rinsed, drained, and chopped 
1/2 cup pitted black olives, chopped 
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley 
1/2 cup canned tomatoes, coarsely chopped 
1/2 cup golden raisins, soaked in hot water to plump 
1 teaspoon sugar 

Sprinkle the dried yeast over 1/4 cup warm water in a small bowl. When it 
blooms, add remaining water. In a larger bowl, mix flour with wine, olive 
oil, water, salt, and pepper. Stir in the yeast water and work it into the 
dough with your hands. Transfer to a lightly floured board and knead until it 
just loses its stickiness. Set aside, covered with a damp cloth. Warm 1/4 cup 
olive oil in a saute pan over medium-low heat. Add the leeks and cook gently 15 
minutes, or until soft but not browned. Add the milk and cook 5 additional 
minutes. Stir in sugar and cook another 5 minutes. The leeks should be very 
soft. Add the anchovies, black olives, parsley, and tomatoes. Stir to mix well 
and continue cooking until the sauce is thick and liquid has evaporated. Remove 
from heat and stir in raisins. Lightly oil a 12-inch pizza pan. Divide the 
dough into two pieces, one slightly larger than the other. Roll the larger 
piece out to 1/8-inch thickness ad place on the
 pizza pan. Spread the filling evenly across this piece, leaving a 1-inch 
border around the edges. Roll out the other piece of dough and fit it on top of 
the first, and roll the edges of the two pieces of dough together. Brush the 
remaining oil over the top crust, sprinkle with sugar, prick in several places 
with a fork, and set aside for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. 
Bake in the oven for 15 minutes, then turn the heat down to 350 degrees F and 
bake another 30 minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature.

1 tablespoon vinegar
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 to 3 cups walnuts, chopped (optional) 
Butter a 15 x 10 x 1-inch baking sheet; set aside. (Note: warming the baking

Eight Treasure Rice 

Source: The Heritage of Chinese Cooking

Serves 8

This is the celebrated eight-treasure rice eaten at Chinese New Year. In the 
early days of the Han dynasty (202 BC-AD 220), rice was considered a delicacy 
as millet was the staple grain. Eight-treasure rice depicts the almost 
spiritual significance of rice to the Chinese people, bringing good fortune and 
blessings to all at the beginning of a New Year.
 
RECIPE INGREDIENTS

2 cups long-grain white rice
3 cups glutinous rice

2 tablespoons peanut oil
6 Chinese dried mushrooms, soaked 20 minutes in warm water, squeezed dry, 
stemmed, caps finely diced
2 dried Chinese sausages (lup chiang), diced
1 boneless chicken thigh, diced
1 tablespoon dried shrimp, soaked 20 minutes in warm water, drained
1/2 cup lotus seeds, soaked in cold water 3-4 hours, drained
1/2 cup diced onion
1/2 cup diced bamboo shoots

2 tablespoons light soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon five spice powder
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 teaspoon salt
2 scallions, chopped




RECIPE METHOD

Combine the rice and wash 3 times.

Heat the peanut oil in a wok until almost smoking. Stir-fry the mushrooms, the 
Chinese sausages, chicken, dried shrimp, lotus seeds, onion, and bamboo shoots 
for 1-2 minutes. Add the soy sauce, five spice powder, sesame oil, and salt. 
Stir-fry to mix well.

Bring the rice to a rapid boil and continue to cook by the absorption method. 
When most of the water has been absorbed, add the stir-fried ingredients, 
mixing them through the rice. Simmer, covered, on low heat for 20 minutes. Turn 
off the heat, and allow to stand for 10 minutes.

TO SERVE: 
Stir the rice with chopsticks, adding the chopped scallions. Remove the rice 
from the pot and pack into a lightly oiled bowl, pressing in firmly. (If 
preparing a day in advance, refrigerate in the bowl until just before needed.) 
Steam the rice in the bowl for 10 minutes, and invert to serve.

D' Best Chicken N' Dumplings 

PREP TIME 25 Min 
COOK TIME 2 Hrs 
READY IN 4 Hrs 25 Min 

SERVINGS  SCALING
Original recipe yield: 6 servings


INGREDIENTS
3 cups all-purpose flour 
1/4 teaspoon baking soda 
1/4 teaspoon salt 
2 tablespoons shortening 
1 cup ice water 
  
1 (4 pound) whole chicken, cut into 8 pieces 
1 tablespoon seasoning salt, or to taste 
3 1/2 quarts water 
1/2 small onion, chopped 
2 stalks celery, chopped 
1/4 cup margarine 
salt and pepper to taste 
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning 
DIRECTIONS
In a large bowl, sift flour, baking soda and salt. Cut in shortening until 
mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in water until mixture forms a ball. 
Divide dough in half and shape into balls. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 
2 hours or overnight. 
Remove the skin from the breast, thigh and back of the chicken, but leave it on 
the legs and wings. Season chicken with seasoning salt, and place in a large 
stock pot. Pour in water. Add onion, celery and margarine. Bring to a boil, 
then reduce heat to simmer. Cook for about 1 1/2 hours, until chicken falls off 
the bone. 
On a lightly floured surface, roll one ball of dough to about 1/8 inch thick. 
Cut into 2 inch squares. Drop into simmering broth, and let cook for about 2 
minutes. Stir gently to prevent sticking; add more water if needed. Season 
broth while dumplings are cooking with salt, pepper and poultry seasoning. 
Simmer for about 15 minutes, or until dumplings are cooked through. 
Note
This recipe calls for only 1 ball of dough, but for those that like a lot of 
dumplings, use both balls. This dough can also be used for cobblers. Freeze the 
other half of the dough if you don't use it.
