Mosquito Supper Club White Beans

Heather Hampton — Wed, 15 Apr 2020 22:38:41 +0000

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons canola oil
1/2 pound salt pork, diced small
1 large onion, diced
1 celery stalk, diced
1 bay leaf
1 (1-pound) package Camellia Brand Navy Beans
3 1/2 quarts water
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Cooked rice
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, for garnish
2 tablespoons finely chopped green onion, for garnish

Directions:

Warm a heavy-bottomed 12-quart pot over medium heat for 2 minutes, then add oil and heat for 30 seconds.
Add salt pork and cook, turning as needed to brown all sides, about 12 minutes.
Add onion, celery and bay leaf; stir to combine.
Add beans and water; cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
Reduce heat to maintain a simmer and cook, uncovered, stirring often, until most of the water has boiled off or been absorbed and the beans are tender, 50-60 minutes. (As the beans cool, they will absorb more liquid, so having some liquid left over is fine; you don’t want dry beans.)
Mash some of the beans against the inside of the pot and stir them into the liquid.
Season with salt, black pepper and cayenne.
Serve beans over rice, garnished with parsley and green onion.

Pableaux’s Turkey Bone Gumbo

Heather Hampton — Tue, 07 Apr 2020 17:47:55 +0000

Ingredients:

Roasted Turkey Bone Broth

1 turkey carcass (bones, giblets and leftover skin from a roasted turkey)
3 ribs celery, cut into 4-inch pieces
2 medium onions, peeled and quartered
4 quarts water, or enough to cover carcass
2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon black peppercorns
4 bay leaves

Turkey Bone Gumbo

3/4 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup flour
2 cups chopped onions
1/2 cup chopped bell peppers
1/2 cup chopped celery
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 pound smoked sausage (such as andouille or kielbasa), chopped
3 quarts turkey broth
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
2 tablespoons chopped green onion
steamed white rice, for serving

Directions:

Make the Broth

Place turkey carcass in large stockpot. Add celery, onions, water, salt, peppercorns, and bay leaves.
Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium and simmer, uncovered, for 2 to 4 hours (the longer the better).
Remove from heat and skim any fat that has risen to the surface.
Strain through a large colander into another pot.
Reserve any meat that has fallen off the bones and pick off any meat that may still remain on the carcass.
Use immediately or freeze in quart-size containers.
Makes about 2 to 3 quarts (or enough for 1 gumbo).

Make the Gumbo

Combine oil and flour in a heavy-bottomed cast-iron pot or enameled cast-iron Dutch oven.
Cook over medium-low heat, stirring slowly and consistently for 20 to 25 minutes, to make a dark brown roux, the color of chocolate.
Season onions, bell peppers, and celery with salt and cayenne and add them to the roux.
Cook and stir vegetables and roux over medium heat until vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes.
Add sausage and cook, stirring often, for 5 to 7 minutes.
Add broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, for 45 minutes.
Add reserved turkey meat and simmer for 30 minutes.
Add parsley and green onions.
To serve, ladle into soup bowls over steamed white rice.

Blapple Pie

Aimee Bussells — Tue, 11 Aug 2015 20:01:06 +0000

Ingredients:

2 1/2 cups cooked Camellia Brand Black Beans, unseasoned
1/3 cup plus 1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons plus 1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon plus 1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon plus 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
2 tablespoons butter
2 1/2 cups cored, pared, and thinly sliced Red Delicious apples
1 tablespoon milk
1 package Pillsbury Pie Crusts (2 unroll-and-bake crusts)

Directions:

Place black beans in a medium saucepan.
Add 1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, stirring gently.
Add 2 teaspoons sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, and heat on low, stirring continuously, for about 2 minutes.
Cover and simmer on medium heat for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
In a medium skillet, melt butter. Add apples to melted butter.
Add 1 teaspoon sugar, 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Gently stir ingredients together over medium heat.
Drizzle 1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk plus 1 tablespoon whole milk over apples, stirring until apples are coated. Cover and simmer until apples are tender, about 3-5 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Unroll one of the crusts into a 10-inch glass pie plate. Layer apple mixture on the bottom of the crust. Spread bean mixture evenly over the layer of apples. Top with second crust. Fold and roll top pastry under edge of bottom crust pressing to seal the two crusts together. Flute the pastry edges.
Crimp 2-inch strips of foil over fluted edge. Cut slits in top pastry for steam to escape. Bake at 350 degrees (preheated) for 20-30 minutes or until crust is brown. Remove foil strips 10 minutes before the end of the baking time so fluted edge will brown.
