Chicken Paprikash

From: The Old World Kitchen typed by Ross Bernheim; posted to
rec.food.recipes by Ronald Keene in Jan 2003
Category: Hungarian chicken main dish, low carb
Preparation time:
Servings: 4


? cup butter
1 large onion
1 cut-up chicken (1,6 kg)
1,5 Tbsp of Hungarian paprika
1 green bell pepper
1 tomato
optional - 100 grams of fresh button mushrooms
optional - 100 grams of sour cream
salt to taste

Preparation method: In a three quart Dutch oven or heavy bottomed sauce
pan over medium heat, melt butter. Slice onion, green bell pepper
(separate half of it) and tomato (separate half of it) and cut up chicken.
Add onion and sauté until translucent (about 5 minutes). Remove pan from
heat. Sprinkle chicken with salt and add to pan with paprika, half of the
green bell pepper, and half of the tomato. Cover the pan with a
tight-fitting lid and cook over very low heat until the chicken is tender
(1 to 1-1/2 hours). Turn chicken pieces occasionally so that they cook
evenly. If necessary, add a few spoonfuls of water to prevent sticking.
During the last 15 minutes of cooking add mushrooms, if using. --- When
chicken is tender, transfer to a heated platter. Place pan over medium
heat and cook juices, scraping the bottom of pan to loosen any burned-on
bits. Add a spoonful or so of water to achieve a gravy like consistency,
then stir in sour cream (if used) to form a smooth mixture. Pour over
chicken and garnish with remaining bell pepper and tomato. Serve hot.

1 serving: calories = 319; fat = 19.8 grams; carbs = 10.1 grams; proteins

From: Taste of Home's, Quick Cooking, Collector's Edition - modified into
low carb!

bone-in chicken breasts compared to those baked in the oven.

1 cup vegetable broth (original recipe used chicken broth!)

desired and pepper.

Close cover securely; place pressure regulator on vent pipe. Bring cooker

Adobo

luckytrim , 6 Apr 2003
Newsgroups: rec.food.recipes


3 to 6 lbs. meat (chicken, beef, pork,
or mix them if you like)
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup vinegar
1 bay leaf
Few cloves of garlic, crushed
1 onion, sliced

Add all ingredients. Cover and simmer forever. Before serving thicken
sauce. This is a good one for a slow cooker. The longer simmered the more
tender the meat.

0,5 kg pork loin, cut into chunks

pepper and vinegar and let stand for 2 hours. Cook slowly in the same pot
until the pork is tender (about 30 minutes). --- Transfer the pieces of
garlic from the pot to a separate pan and fry in hot oil until brown. Add
the pork pieces to the garlic and then fry until brown. Drain. Add the
broth to the fried pork and garlic and simmer for 10 minutes.

Mussels With Ham, Peppers, And Tomatoes

From: Luckytrim, rec.food.recipes

1/8 tsp. saffron threads, crumbled (optional, but...oh, my!)
1/4 cup dry white wine
2 lbs. mussels, cleaned and steamed open
1 onion, minced
2 oz. thickly sliced smoked ham, chopped fine
1/2 red bell pepper, chopped fine
1/2 green bell pepper, chopped fine
3 Tbsp. olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 lb. can tomatoes, drained well and chopped

In a small bowl, let the saffron soak in the wine for 15 minutes. Transfer
the mussels with a slotted spoon to a bowl, reserving the liquid, and
strain the liquid through a fine sieve into another small bowl. In a large
heavy skillet, cook the onion, the ham, and the bell peppers in the oil
over moderate heat, stirring, until the vegetables are softened; add the
garlic and cook the mixture, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes
and cook the mixture, stirring, for 5 minutes or until it is thickened.
Add the saffron mixture and the reserved mussel liquid and boil the
mixture until most of the liquid is evaporated. Season the sauce with salt
and pepper and let it cool to room temperature. While the sauce is
cooling, discard the top shell from each mussel and loosen the mussel from
the bottom shells. Top the mussels with the sauce and arrange them on a
platter. Makes about 30 mussels.

1 serving: calories = 182.5; carbs = 11 g; fat = 10.5 g; proteins = 12.5
