Tenacious_Peaches Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 Joann makes a great bisque. I'll get her recipe. I can't help but to think of Seinfeld... Elaine: I've yadda'ed sex before. I met a lawyer, we had dinner, I had the lobster bisque, and yadda yadda yadda, I never saw him again. George: You yadda'ed over the best part! Elaine: I mentioned the bisque. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steel2Velvet Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 It was HOW she said it that really made that bit work. Kind of a long, lispy "bisque." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Joe Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Speaking of bisque. I've been asked to share Joann's recipe for *Crab Bisque. So here it goes: * You can substitute lobster, shrimp, etc. Ingredients: 2 Stalks Celery, chopped to small bite-size. 1 Small Onion, chopped finely. 1 Lb. Crabmeat (jumbo lump if available). 2 Qts. Heavy Cream 1 4 Oz. can of Tomato Sauce 1 large ripe Tomato, diced 1 Stick of Butter (1/4 lb.) 1 Tsp. Salt 1/2 Tsp. Black Pepper 1 Tsp. chopped Parsley (dried is fine) Directions: Saute the celery, onion, ripe tomato and butter in a saucepan on low for ten minutes, stirring frequently. After ten minutes add the tomato sauce, crabmeat and heavy cream. Cook for 30 minutes and stir frequently to avoid sticking. After 30 minutes add the seasonings, stir and if it seems too thick you can add some milk until you arrive at the desired texture. I prefer it a little thick. Serve immediately. It's delicious and is always a big hit with dinner guests. It's a pleasing shade of pink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Joe Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Ron, I couldn't allow that. The bisque is far too rich for your diet and I wouldn't want to affect your cholesterol. Besides, It'd probably be all gone by the time you got here. (urp) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawna Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 You can substitute lobster, shrimp, etc. can anything else that's not seafood be substituted and have it come out deliciously? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Laurie_ Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 (edited) Well Shawna I'm not sure about that.... you could try just making the sauce part of it and having it over a buttermilk biscuit...This sauce is best with seafood, you could try chicken or turkey...but I'm not sure how that would turn out...Or maybe using a vegetable such as broccoli instead??...hmmmmm let us know what you decide to do....

Uncle Joe Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Broccoli's not a bad idea. In place of seafood you can add any vegetables you enjoy. I don't think I'd go with meat or fowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Laurie_ Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 Chicken Cacciatore Cook Time: 55 minutes Ingredients: 1 cup chopped onion 1 cup chopped green bell pepper ( I use a little bit of hot pepper too...coz I like it spicey!) 3 medium cloves garlic minced (I use about 6 cloves!) BAM 3 tablespoons olive oil...(they have some really nice oils to sautee' in...this is the usual oil...but I found some really good garlic olive oil at the deli the other day...good stuff!) 2 cans (14.5 ounces each) stewed tomatoes 2 teaspoons leaf oregano, crumbled 2 teaspoons salt 1/2 teaspoon pepper, or to taste 1 bay leaf 1 chicken, about 3 pounds, cut up..(this is the best way for chicken cacciatore...you can use boneless/skinless...but you won't get as much flavor) 3/4 cup dry red wine Preparation: Heat olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Brown chicken on all sides in hot oil, about 10 minutes. Remove chicken and drain off excess grease, leaving a tablespoon or two. Add chopped onion, green pepper, and minced garlic to hot skillet; sauté until onion is tender. Stir in tomatoes, wine, oregano, salt, pepper, and bay leaf. Add chicken back to sauce and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 45 minutes, or until chicken is tender. Discard bay leaf and serve with hot cooked spaghetti or other pasta. Serves 6 This is delicious over pasta or spaghetti...I usually make a nice garden salad with mine, OH...and a nice chunk of fresh Italian bread...and WINE!...don't forget the wine!...nice dinner to prepare for your Valentine...
