• Bratwurst

    From JIM WELLER@1:135/392 to DAVE DRUM on Mon Sep 20 21:29:00 2021

    Quoting Dave Drum to Shawn Highfield <=-

    I don't know if Humphrey's uses wheat in their sausages - I doubt
    that they do.

    Many sausage makers add 1 or 2% by weight of flour, toasted bread
    crumbs or other starchy cereal product as a binder to several kinds
    of sausages. Just look at the ingredients list.

    Not a bratwurst - but along the same lines. I made a batch of these
    and brought them along to the Canadian Caper Picnic hosted by Florence Thompson in Hemmingford, PQ. Cooked them in beer with onions and green (bell) peppers. They were well received.
    Title: Garlic Sausage

    They were very good. I recall that Jim Bodle brought some excellent
    sausage from his home town, made by his favourite Polish butcher
    shop. I think his came out first. I also brought some garlic
    sausage from the Cobden, Ontario meat market. I bunged mine into
    your beer bath when you were running out.

    2 ts Quatre epices *
    * 1 part nutmeg, 1 part ginger and 7 parts white pepper -
    (which is only THREE spices - UDD)

    The usual fourth one is cloves.

    Title: Chicken Cutlets with Artichoke Hearts
    Categories: Chicken, Italian, Wine, Mushrooms
    Yield: 2 Servings

    12 oz Chicken breasts, boneless &
    -skinless, well trimmed,
    -pounded to 1/4" thickness
    1/2 c Flour
    1 ts Salt
    2 tb Olive oil, not extra virgin
    1 Clove garlic, chopped
    1 tb Shallots, chopped
    1 c Mushrooms, quartered
    4 oz Dry white wine
    4 sl Lemon
    6 oz Chicken stock, a rich one
    1 c Artichoke hearts, frozen or
    -canned, cut in quarters
    2 tb Parsley, chopped
    Salt and white pepper
    2 Sprigs parsley, for garnish

    Dip the well trimmed and pounded chicken breasts in flour seasoned
    with 1 teaspoon salt. In a saute pan that has been preheated along
    with the olive oil, put in the chicken breasts as the oil begins
    to shimmer. Cook until light golden on both sides, about 10
    minutes on medium-low heat. Remove from the pan and keep warm. Now
    add the shallots, mushrooms and garlic and cook for two minutes
    (do not brown). Add the lemon slices, white wine and chicken
    stock. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until the liquid is
    reduced to half its original volume, now about 5 ounces. Season
    with salt and ground white pepper to your liking (I would start
    with 2 or 3 dashes of white pepper and 1/2 teaspoon of salt).
    Bring the sauce to a boil over medium heat and reduce to simmer.
    Place the artichoke hearts and warm chicken breasts back in with
    the sauce and cook half-covered for 3-4 minutes to re-heat the
    chicken. Add the chopped parsley and serve with pasta of your
    choice; thin linguine is a good choice. Garnish everything with
    sprigs of parsley.

    Note* In Italy this dish is finished at the last minute by adding
    a mixture of chopped garlic, grated lemon, oregano and, believe it
    or not-- butter. If you would like to do the same, here's how to
    make this butter. Combine 2 tablespoons unsalted butter with 1/2
    teaspoon minced garlic, 1/4 teaspoon grated lemon rind and a pinch
    of oregano. Just before serving the dish, blend the butter into
    the sauce over very low heat, do not boil!

    ... If it's got meat and fat, it can be turned into sausage.

    I know. I was merely commenting on the poster's lack of understanding of French numbers.
