Chicken with almonds - Galletto con le Mandorle

Thank God for an Italian mother. I sifted through her recipes and found this. It's one of my favorites. xp

Ingerdients

1 chicken, cut into 8 pieces (3 to 3 1/2 pounds)
6 Tbs olive oil
1 Tb tomato paste
4 Tbs white or red wine vinegar
2 Tbs sugar
1 t salt
1/2 t pepper
3/4 cup blanched almonds, crushed
1/4 cup blanched whole almonds, toasted

Steps
1. Brown the chicken in 2 tablespoons of the olive oil over low heat. This will take about 15 minutes. Drain the chicken and set aside.

2. Pour the remaining olive oil into the pan with the tomato paste dissolved in 1 cup warm water. When the sauce begins to boil, add the vinegar, sugar, salt, pepper, and crushed almonds. When the sauce returns to a boil, add the chicken pieces, lower the heat, and cook, uncovered, for 45 to 50 minutes, adding a little water if the sauce starts to get too thick. Turn the pieces of chicken over at least once.

3. Arrange the chicken on a platter covered with some sauce. Sprinkle the toasted almonds on top. Serve warm in winter and at room temperature in summer.

Wow... that Greek Chicken sounds fantastic... I'm going to go through and check to make sure it's been updated properly, and then later I'll have to add in some of my own recipes. This is fantastic!

Banana Nut Bread/ Chocolate Rum Banana Nut Bread

2 1/4 cup flour
2 cup sugar
1 tsp baking powder and soda
1/4 tsp salt

1 cup buttermilk
1 cup butter (melted)
1 cup banana (mushy plox)
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup walnut
1 cup crasin

That's the base for regular Banana Nut bread that we make.

Mine goes as follows :

2 Cup Flour
1 Cup Sugar
1 tsp Baking powder
1 tsp Baking Soda
1/4 tsp Salt
1 Cup Buttermilk
1 Cup Butter (melted)
2 Cups banana (mushed)
1 tsp Vanilla
5 Tbls Orange Rum (Separate from the one you used to soak the raisins)
1 Cup walnuts
1 Cup raisins (soaked in the rum while you mix the rest of it up. Or over night, depends on you. Note you aren't going to use ALL that rum in the banana nut bread)
1/2 Cup Chocolate chips (You can lower this. I just like chocolates)

My tip is to coat the nuts, raisins and chocolate chips in flour before adding them to the batter so it doesn't sink to the bottom.

Baked in a loaf or a Bunt pan in a 350 degree oven for an hour or until done. You know how to check. (This is for both types). After it cools and you unmold it, you can also brushing on more of the orange rum if you like.

Iowa Smothered Pork Chops

Needed:
1 Spoonful of shortening (Crisco, Bacon grease, etc.)
4 Pork chops
1C Flour
Dash Salt + Pepper
1C Water
1/2 An Onion (Diced)
2ish Potatoes (Scalloped)
A Skillet large enough to hold said ingredients (preferably Cast Iron), and a lid for the skillet.

Melt the shortening in the skillet. Mix the salt, pepper, and flour. Bread the pork chops with the seasoned flour and then brown the chops on both sides in the skillet. They don't have to be done all the way through, just get a good brown glaze on both sides. Add water, cover, and let boil. Add onion and potato, turn to low heat and cover. Let it simmer until almost all of the water is gone.

There you go. Tender as hell pork chops, with onion and potato. And the small potion of liquid left is delicious gravy to be put on bread.
