Yes, I am making homemade Posole. We only make it with pork, sorry Anessa's Muse. But I have seen it made with chicken - just never done it myself.

Thank you for thinking of me, Backyard Buddies*

...and chick2good4u ...if you care to share your Posole recipe, I'd love to see it. It may be better or different or both ..from the one I have ...and I can tweak it to meet our dietary restrictions!
(There's a special thread just for our recipes... in case you weren't aware.)


*I'd also be interested in a "Ghoulash" recipe ..hint hint

I don't think I've had any version of Ghoulash since my Great-grandmother made some for us a very long time ago.

If your great grandmother made it, it's probably similar. This recipe is one from my husband's grandmother. I don't have any measurements and everyone makes theirs just a bit differently.

Basically, you fry up onion, celery (that is usually in the really old family recipes, left out in newer recipes), and garlic in some EVOO, then add burger to brown. You can add seasonings that you like during this time - such as a smidgen of chili powder or chilis (if you're aiming for a southwest flair), salt, pepper, Italian seasonings (if you're aiming for a more Italian flair), etc. Drain. In the meantime, you boil up the pasta of your choice, usually something chunky like ziti or elbows that will hold up to stirring. If you're going to throw it in the crockpot, don't cook the pasta all the way. Then you add some kind of a tomato base. You can use tomato sauce or diced peeled tomatoes, or even fresh if you prefer. Some use tomato soup, tho I know you'd steer clear of that with your migraines. If you're going for the more Italian flavor, you can use canned or jarred spaghetti sauce. My hubby's grandmother always used the canned Hunts tomato sauce. You stir the whole thing together and heat it through. The longer you cook the pasta in the sauce, the more it absorbs the tomato goodies.

You can sprinkle cheese (parmesan, or Mexican three cheese, etc) on the top when you serve it if you want as well. Some also stir ricotta or cottage cheese to the recipe just before serving, to create a bit of a mushed up lasagna recipe.

So, you see, there's no real recipe - just a combination of veggies, spices, burger, pasta, and tomatoes of some sort.

I've only made it a few times and I never make it the same each time. My kids love it.​

Aneesa - corn chowder with salmon pairs perfectly.

Posole can be made with chicken, I remember seeing Bobby Flay making chicken posole. Try The Food Network for the recipe.

I have a recipe for goulash with spaetzle that I loosely based on a recipe by Wolfgang Puck, if anyone's interested.

Redfeathers - yummm!

I've posted my MIL's posole recipe. I don't know how I missed that thread. Our recipe is a little different from the other one posted. Maybe it's from a different part of Mexico? Thanks for the thread link.​

Thank you, Backyard Buddies and chick2good4u ..I added both to my menu for the next couple of weeks ...and it's already grocery week again, this Friday ...so I will get all the stuff I need. Yey!

happyhen... I make a point to come straight to this thread just for your recipes, so of course, I'd like your Ghoulash also. And thanks for confirming my taste for chowder with salmon not being totally disgusting..

Dinner plans got sidetracked a bit, tonight ..I discovered too late that there's not enough lasagna noodles

No worries.. "Soycuttash" with some mexican seasoning, rice, several cheese Quesadillas and a couple of Tamales each ...I saved the day!

Lasagna another day ..and Corn Chowder with Smoked Salmon tomorrow.. woot!

I think he must've found his Midol for Men cuz today is definitely more "sunny"

My Mom used to swear that my Dad had his time of the month too! I have to agree with her, it can turn even the sweetest man into

!

I am getting an average of a dozen eggs a day right now. DH says he is really getting tired of egg salad sandwiches. Plus he takes hard boiled eggs in his lunch every day.

So in the interest of using up some eggs we are having Ham and cheese omlets with hashbrowns for supper. Besides it IS wednesday, right Backyard buddies!

My MIL gave me some terrifc leftover ham she had in her fridge. They are leaving today to be snow birds in Arizona!​

I know for a fact that Jim has his visitor the week after I do. His lasts for 2 weeks though.

Tonight is hopefully chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes, rolls, gravy and some sort of veggie. Cant decide between mashed turnips or peas. lol

Chicken and dumplings with the fixings...
Ya'll Come...
