"Many do not recognize the fact as they ought, that Satan has got men fast asleep in sin and that it is his great device to keep them so. He does not care what we do if he can do that. We may sing songs about the sweet by and by, preach sermons and say prayers until doomsday, and he will never concern himself about us, if we don't wake anybody up. But if we awake the sleeping sinner he will gnash on us with his teeth. This is our work - to wake people up."

Sausage-Stuffed Canneloni

2006-10-01T13:33:00.000-04:00

1 ½ Cups whole milk ricotta cheese
1 Cup fontina cheese, shredded
¼ Cup parmesan cheese, grated
1 egg
¾ Cup Italian sausage, crumbled
Pinch salt
Pinch pepper
¼ Cup caramelized onions
2 fresh lasagna sheets, 11" X 9", or
8 each manicotti tubes, cooked
2 Cups of your favorite pasta sauce
1 Cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
2 Tbsp. parmesan cheese, grated
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, combine ricotta, fontina, ¼ cup parmesan, egg, crumbled Italian sausage, salt, pepper, and caramelized onions. Mix well.

Cut the fresh lasagna sheets in half lengthwise to create four long pieces of pasta. Divide the filling into four equal portions and place along one of the longer sides of the pasta. Stretch the filling evenly along the edge of the pasta; the filling should be approximately one inch wide. Roll the pasta sheets lengthwise. Cut each roll in half to create eight cannelloni.

For the cooked manicotti tubes: place the filling in a pastry bag and pipe the filling into the eight manicotti tubes. Tip: if you don't have a pastry bag, a gallon size freezer bag, sealed up, with one corner cut off works well, also.

Pour one cup of your favorite pasta sauce into a 12 X 9 inch baking dish. Place the cannelloni in the dish. Pour the other cup of sauce over the cannelloni. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and then the two tablespoons of parmesan over the cannelloni. Place in the oven and bake, uncovered, approximately thirty minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cannelloni are heated through. (tried and true)

2 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 cup onions, finely diced
1/2 cup bell peppers, finely diced (preferably a mixture of yellow, green and red)
1 jalapeño pepper, seeds removed, diced (optional)
3 3/4 cups (1 quart) heavy cream, reduced to 3 1/2 cups*
2 cups (1/2 pound) Pepper Jack or Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
1 cup leftover roasted or boiled chicken, shredded
3/4 teaspoon salt, to taste
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, to taste
1 pound penne or other pasta, cooked in plenty of salted water according to package directions and drained
1/4 cup chipotle sour cream (recipe below) or regular sour cream
1/4 cup green onions, including green part, sliced thin for garnish

Chipotle Sour Cream:
1/4 tsp pureed chipotles en adobo*
1/4 cup sour cream
*To reduce cream: Place in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan and bring to a boil. Boil cream about 10 minutes and skim top before adding to recipe. Watch carefully as cream may boil up suddenly.

In a large sauté pan over high heat, add butter (don't wait for it to melt or it will burn), onions and peppers and sauté until vegetables begin to soften and turn golden. Lower heat to medium and continue to cook until the vegetables are very soft, about 4 minutes.

Add reduced heavy cream and bring to a boil over high heat. Lower heat to medium-high and continue to simmer, about 5 minutes.

Add cheese and stir well until the cheese is completely melted. Add shredded chicken and stir with a wooden spoon to combine. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Continue to simmer another 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Toss in cooked, drained pasta and mix well. To serve, top with a dollop of chipotle or regular sour cream and garnish with finely sliced green onions.

Chipotle Sour Cream:

To puree the chipotles en adobo: pour content of the can, including the liquid, into the bowl of a food processor. Puree until smooth. Strain through a fine sieve into a bowl using a rubber spatula to push the puree through. Reserve any unused puree for future use in the refrigerator - it will keep 1 to 2 weeks.

In a small mixing bowl, whisk 1/4 teaspoon of the pureed chipotles en adobo with 1/4 cup of sour cream. Set aside.

* Chipotles en adobo are smoked jalapeos that have been stewed in a vinegar and aromatic vegetable sauce. They are usually available canned in the ethnic food section of the supermarket.

Chile Colorado

2006-07-14T10:52:00.000-04:00

9 New Mexico dry chiles - washed, with stems and seeds removed
3 cups water
5 pounds boneless beef chuck roast, trimmed of fat
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon black pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 large yellow onion, chopped
2 cups beef stock or water

Place chiles and 3 cups water into a medium stockpot, and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and steep for 30 minutes to soften. Strain into a bowl, reserving the cooking liquid. Place the chiles and some of the liquid into a blender, and puree until smooth. Add more liquid as necessary to form a smooth sauce. Pass sauce through a fine mesh strainer to remove any seeds and the tough skins; set aside.
Cut the roast into 1 to 2 inch chunks. In a medium bowl, combine flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge the beef chunks in the seasoned flour; set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Saute onion until tender and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add beef chunks a few at a time, so as not to overcrowd the pot, and cook until evenly brown. Remove cooked meat, and continue browning remaining meat. Return reserved cooked meat to the pot. Stir in pureed chile mixture. Add beef stock to just cover beef chunks, or to personal preference. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to lowest setting, and simmer for 3 hours, or until meat is tender. If necessary, adjust with more stock during cooking.

Serve with chopped onion, sliced green onion, shredded cheddar cheese, and sour cream.

Diane Sawyer's Turkey Hash

2006-07-07T12:35:00.000-04:00

1 tablespoon of olive oil
1 cup of diced red pepper
1 cup of diced yellow onion
1/2 pound of Italian sausage (sweet or hot) our of the casing
1 pound of turkey and shredded turkey
2 cups of stuffing
1 cup gravy
1 tablespoon of olive oil
1 tablespoon of butter

In a medium-sized skillet over medium high heat saute the red pepper and onion in one tablespoon of oil until it begins to turn golden brown, 3-5 minutes. Place into a large bowl. In another skillet saute the sausage over medium high heat until it browns and is no longer pink. This should take 5-7 minutes. Add this to the large bowl with the peppers and onions.

Add the shredded turkey, the stuffing and enough gravy to moisten the mixture to the sausage. In a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat add half of the remaining butter and olive oil. Add half of the turkey mixture and press down with a metal spatula a bit.

When the mixture turns brown on the bottom, start turning the hash until there are lots of crispy bits. This takes 3-5 minutes on each side. The mixture will be loose. Place on a serving platter. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Serve with cranberry sauce on the side and a sunny side up egg on top.

Serves 4-6.
