The Hardscrabble Gourmet has moved! For various functionality reasons I’ve moved to Google’s blogger platform. The new url is thehardscrabblegourmet.blogspot.com. I will maintain the files here as an archive for the present but all new posts will be at blogspot.
Chicken Enchiladas Ranchero and Ben’s Texican Soup
In this episode I’ll be using four chicken leg quarters to make two meals. Other things you’ll need are one onion, one bell pepper, 3 cans of tomatoes, one small can tomato sauce, jack cheese, and twenty five corn tortillas. You’ll also need the standard mexican spices, comino, chilli powder, and garlic powder and one special ingredient, Knorr tomato/chicken bullion. Keep’em handy as we’re going to be doing a whole Texmex series this month just in time for cooler weather.
Crock Pot Short Ribs and Pickling Jalapenos
This episode covers a beef short rib recipe as well as how to make homemade pickled jalapeno slices. For more information on home canning check out the USDA publication here. I also highly recommend the Ball Big Blue Book of home canning. It’s been the canning bible for generations.
