• 56 Spanish was French

    place charges. Speaking of which, the bill was quite
    reasonable for the best steak in town.
    But was it also the only steak in town :-}} (D&R).

    No, there are halibut steaks, salmon steaks,
    Simon & Seafort's (mixed results there), Sullivan's
    (said by Bob W to be poor), and The Cattle Company
    (formerly Stuart Anderson's Black Angus); also an
    Outback and a Texas Roadhouse. Club Paris and Simon
    and Seafort are the upscale choices (along the lines
    of Morton's, Ruth's Chris, and the Capital Grille,
    none of which is represented there).

    Tell us -- what makes this recipe "Spanish"?
    Title: Spanish Pork Chop Bake
    1 cn Tomato soup
    2 1/2 c Tomato juice
    1/4 c Diced green pepper

    This, unfortunately. The tomato-green pepper
    flavor combination is often associated with
    "Spanish" cooking (also "Italian," but let
    that pass). Poorly seasoned is the problem
    with your recipe, I think, as it is with
    many such.

    Spanishish rice
    cat: found ingredients, main, casseroles
    servings: 6

    2 c brown rice (that's what there was)
    3 1/2 c chicken stock
    1 Tb thyme
    1 Tb cumin
    1 ts red pepper flakes
    1 ts oregano
    1 ts basil
    s, p, chopped parsley
    1 c diced tomatoes (that's all there was)
    3/4 lb pork sausage
    2 ribs celery, chopped
    1 lg onion, chopped
    1 sm green pepper, chopped

    Cook rice in stock. When half done, stir in seasonings
    and tomato. Continue cooking, covered.

    Meanwhile, crumble sausage and dry fry, retaining all
    the fat unless it's a really huge gross amount. Add
    vegetables in the order listed and cook until wilted.
    Fold sausage, vegetables, and some of the fat into
    the rice when it's nearly done.

    If the rice is soupy and too al dente, finish in the
    oven.

    Made for the meeting of the neighborhood association
    tonight.

    You could cover this with cheese and finish it in the
    oven anyway, but the neighborhood association isn't
    worth it, and I've used too many pills lately.

    You could substitute Spam for the sausage, in which
    case it would become Spamish rice.

    A. Not my recipe, just one I pulled out of this month's files for the
    sake of discussion :-}}

    B. Given the proper seasoning, it could then be thought of as a Creole
    recipe ?

    Here is a meat that you like. Whether or not the presentation is
    likable, I leave it to you. I would not know.
