Title: JANUARY CONTEST!
Post by: teesquare on December 26, 2012, 10:26:15 PM
After seeing Aaron's awesome W.O.W. sausages - I would like to offer :

1 bottle of W.O.W. SHIPPED for $5.50....that is free shipping, and a discount! ;) for anyone that wants to participate in the contest.

4 - bottles of W.O.W. plus 1 additional bottle of any of the other rubs who comes up with the most original recipe - and use of W.O.W.
Because it all all natural ground herbs and veggies with a tiny amount of salt - it is great on baked potatoes ( mixed with butter...incredible) Or dusted on root veggies, green beans, asparagus - you name it. Mix it in with a pat of butter - then slather it on your steak just before it comes off the grill - or mix it per directions with canola oil and vinegar - and marinade steaks, chops, chicken, kabobs ( including the veggies!)

So - those are the "known uses"...to which Keymaster (Aaron) added it to sausage and one-upped me! ;D

We need pictures - and good pictures and the recipe of the winning entry will be used on the Savor Spices website........

Now..let's see some smoke coming out from under those thinking caps! ;D


See our website - www.SavorSpices.com  NOTE: In order to receive the discounted price - you must contact me prior to paying thru PayPal so that I can adjust the price manually.

WOW is the green stuff that has dill, chives, garlic, and a host of other really good "fresh garden" flavors. If you think about all of the savory aroma herbs  that come to mind when you think of grand ma's kitchen...they are probably in there. ;)

WOW Chicken Noodle Soup

Started out by cooking some wow dusted chicken on the pellet grill, underneath the chicken was some carrots, onions, shallot, celery tossed in olive oil and roasted up to use for the stock.

(http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk234/deb415611/food/2013_01/photo-140-1.jpg)

While that was cooking I started some pasta --  OO flour, some eggs and some WOW ,  kneaded that up and all ready to rest for a bit

pasta sheets before cutting into noodles

back to the soup, the chicken is done,veggies roasted,  pulled the chicken from the bones, bones when into the soup pot with a box of chicken stock. 
(http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk234/deb415611/food/2013_01/photo-142.jpg)


simmered for awhile, strained the stock, added some celery, carrots to cook, then added the noodles, when the noodles where almost done I added the chicken and some parsley and some more WOW.  at the very end thickened it up with some flour.

Post by: teesquare on January 01, 2013, 09:49:09 PM
WOW Deb!!!! ;D

Now - that is using W.O.W. in a completely imaginative way! It does have a "comfort food" group of aromas and tastes when combined with poultry.

How did you like the results when you tasted the stew and the noodles?

Way out West Lamb & Shitake Ravioli
The Filling
1Lb. of cooked ground Lamb
1 egg
½ cup of grated four cheeses
½ cup of seasoned bread crumbs
1-1/2 tsp Way out West TrailDust
1-tsp of salt
1-tsp white pepper
6-small shitake mushrooms
Cook burger and diced shitake mushrooms add way out west TrailDust and season meat to taste with S & P.  Drain grease from meat. Mix the rest of the ingredients to meat and with a gloved hand break up meat and mix well. Makes 4 dozen ravioli.

Ravioli dough

4-cups of flour
4-eggs
1- tsp of salt
4-TBLS of warm water
Sift flour into bowl and make a well in center for the eggs. Add eggs and water. Work flour & egg mixture together adding more water if necessary to make smooth malleable dough. Knead until smooth. Let dough rest 15 minutes in plastic wrap. Run dough through your pasta roller until desired thickness. Make raviolis with your usual method or use a Ravioli form found at www.cpalmermfg.com

The Sauce and ravioli cooking
2-sticks of butter
1 to 1-1/2 cups of chicken broth
Pinch of salt
1 cup of four cheeses
Add the butter to a large sauté pan and bring to a medium heat. Add 1 cup of chicken stock and season with salt. Shake the pan to incorporate the butter and stock and simmer until the stock has reduced a bit and the sauce looks velvety and is the consistency of heavy cream. If the sauce gets to thick adjust the consistency with chicken stock.
Add the ravioli to a pot of boiling water and cook 3 to 4 minutes. Carefully remove the ravioli from the boiling water and immediately put them in the sauce. Bring the sauce to a boil shaking frequently to be sure that the ravioli does not stick to the pan. Sprinkle with 1 cup of four cheeses and swirl to combine cheeses with sauce. Plate and enjoy.

I started out thinking I would use a premade alfrito sauce, I bagged that idea and made my own  butter cheese sauce. A few of the players

Thanks everyone. Pam I saw that extruder online and it looks really cool, actually I'm just getting into pasta making cause I need to know what to do with that case of flour I have in my food storage incase of an emergency ;D I need to get or make a drying rack too. I sure did have fun with this project.

Keymaster..a clothesline should be long enough if your making tons of pasta. I have been making circle bunches and putting some flour over them. You can dry them that way for storage, just make sure they are dry before storing or they will mold. It's so easy to make that I just make it before I use it. Pam  .☆´¯`•.¸¸. ི♥ྀ.
