08-18 Sukiyaki

Pronounced "skee-ya-kee"
This is the dish where we put all the raw ingredients on the table with the electric wok and cook and eat them as they are ready. But you can make one serving using your cast iron skillet on the stove.
Start rice in rice cooker. Then beginning preparing your vegetables - any or all of the following:
thinly sliced zucchini or yellow squash
thinly sliced or julienned carrot
thin onion rings
thinly sliced sweet potato
green onion
bean sprouts
etc.
Then prepare:
cubed tofu or tempeh
thin sliced beef - top sirloin or "shabu shabu" or pork

Heat skillet over high heat, add a bit of sesame oil or beef fat.
Sprinkle pan with 1T sugar, then when its melted, add 2-3 T shoyu (soy sauce).
Cook raw meat first, do not over cook. Remove and place on plate with cover.
Then add in veggies and tofu. They will cook quickly, add to covered plate.

Water from the veggies will dilute the sauce so add a little bit of sugar and/or shoyu as needed.

Traditionally you eat a raw egg on top of a bowl of rice and place your veggies and meat on top.
But you can just serve them on the rice since you don't know where your eggs came from. =)

Pueblo Squash

 Turns out the baked squash with brown sugar that my mom used to make was also a New Mexican recipe! So simple to make and so satisfying for a fall side or snack. Or even the meal if you want to add tomatoes, corn or a meat to it Cut an acorn or butternut or... squash in half and remove the seeds. Sprinkle the flesh with salt and pepper. Brush it with , then sprinkle it with brown sugar.   Cover with foil or a lid and bake at 375 for about an hour - until the flesh gives way to a fork piercing it easily.  S

10-01 Pumpkin Apple Stew

This is SO delicious and definitely gives you the "fall" experience. The sweetness of the apple cider and apples play off the pumpkin and all that's missing is a hayride or carving pumpkins afterward. Its perfect for a cold, miserable day or even if you are just chilled. It takes a bit of time but is so worth it! Its very flexible -try substituting different veggies or cooking it in the crock pot. This recipe serves about 5 but is easily doubled for more company. Put your dutch oven or heaviest pot on the stove top to heat up. In a baggie or in a mixing bowl, mix together: 1 1/2 T flour 1 t fennel seeds, crushed 1/2 t salt 1/4 t pepper Then add in 1 lb boneless pork, cubed about 1" or smaller Stir or shake to coat pork well. Drizzle your hot pan with a bit of olive oil Add the coated pork and 1 onion, sliced thinly Sauté the onions and pork until the onions soften and the pork is brown on all sides, stirring gently occasionally to get all sides.
