Title: SAUSAGE TRIANGLES
Categories: Appetizers
Yield: 42 servings

8 oz Pork sausage
1/2 lb Mushrooms, diced
1/4 lb Monterey Jack, shredded
1/2 c Butter, melted
1/3 16oz pkg frozen phyllo

In 10″ skillet over medium-high heat, cook pork
sausage and mushrooms until meat is well browned and
mushrooms are tender, stirring occasionally. With
slotted spoon, remove sausage mixture to paper towels
to drain. In large bowl, mix sausage mixture and
shredded cheese.

With knife, cut phyllo lengthwise into 2″ wide strips.
Place strips on waxed paper; then cover with slightly
damp paper towel to prevent phyllo from drying out.

Place 1 strip of phyllo on work surface; brush top
lightly with melted butter. Place about 1 teaspoon
sausage mixture at end of strip. Fold one corner of
strip diagonally over filling so that short edge meets
the long edge of the strip, forming a right angle.
Continue folding over at right angle. Continue
folding over at right angles until you reach the end
of the strip to form a triangular-shaped package.
Place package, seam-side down, in 15 1/2″ X 10 1/2″
jelly-roll pan; brush with butter. Repeat with
remaining phyllo strips and sausage mixture. If not
serving right away, cover with foil and refrigerate.

To serve, preheat oven to 425oF. Bake triangles 15
minutes or until golden. Makes about 3 1/2 dozen hors
d’oeuvres. Each triangle: About 50 calories, 4 g fat,
5 mg cholesterol, 90 mg sodium.

TO FREEZE AND USE UP TO 1 MONTH LATER: Place unbaked
triangles in freezer container with waxed paper
between each layer; seal; label: and freeze. About 35
minutes before serving, preheat oven to 425oF. Arrange
frozen triangles on un-greased jelly-roll pan and bake
20 minutes or until triangles are golden.

Orzo and Protabellow Mushrooms

2 portabello mushrooms
1 c (before cooking) orzo
approx 4 ox. sundried tomatoes
4 cloves minced garlic (or to taste)
1 T capers (or to taste–this recipe is pretty loose it is all to taste,
really)
1/2 t each of thyme, marjoram, and oregano
1 c white wine
salt and crushed red pepper to taste

You can make this in under 30 minutes if you do it all at once. So put the
water on to boil for the orzo, and put the sundried tomatoes in a bowl with
about a cup of water to reconstitute (rinse them off first as you will use the
soaking water later). Wash the portabellos and cut off the stems. Put caps in
a dish and sprinkle with the three herbs, then pour the cup of wine over them
to marinate. Coarsely chop the mushroom stems, mince the garlic. In a
nonstick pan, sautee the garlic and mushroom stems in a little tomato water or
wine. Drain tomatoes, reserving the liquid, and chop coarsely (it’s okay if
they are not fully softened at this point) and sautee. The water should be
boiling now so put the orzo on to cook. Scoot the tomato/garlic/chopped
mushroom mixture to the edges of the pan and place mushroom caps in the middle.

Pour the tomato water over the, cover, and simmer until the mushrooms are
finished, about 12 minutes (same time as it takes the orzo to cook–hey!).
Remove the mushroom caps to a plate (to two plates I mean) and pour the
leftover marinating wine into the pan, and add capers. Cook and stir until
reduced. Drain orzo and toss with the mixture, and serve with the mushroom

The homemade salsa recipe I use is from
“The Only Texas Cookbook” (don’t remember the author)
with variations.

4 medium tomatoes chopped medium fine
1 small onion chopped fine
1 small jalapeno or 3 serranos chopped fine
6 – 12 sprigs of cilantro (coriander leaves) chopped fine
1 tsp salt (~1/4 tsp/tomato)
Combine enjoy.

The author says to process in a food blender and use within
3 hours but I just ignore that part. It keeps for several
days in the fridge. If you use jalapenos, it retains most
of its heat but if you use serranos, it is very mild by
the next day.

I use it on taco salads and baked potatoes. After most of
the heat has died down it makes a very good vegetable dish.

Mexican Corn Soup

Recipe By : International Cook Book
Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Soups And Stews

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
3 1/2 cups fresh corn, cut off cob
3/4 cup water
1/4 cup butter
2 cups milk
salt to taste
2 tablespoons green chilies chopped
1 cup jack cheese
6 tablespoons deep fried tortilla squares (see note)

Scrape corn from cob and scrape cob thoroughly to get the “milk”.
Place corn, “milk” and water in blender. Blend a few seconds to break
up kernels but do not over blend. Put this mixture through a fine
sieve, pressing to extract as much liquid as possible. Put mixture in
saucepan and add butter. Simmer slowly five minutes, stirring well
because the corn tends to stick. Add the milk and salt to taste.
Bring to a boil and add the chilies. When ready to serve, add the
cheese, when cheese is melted and soup is hot serve in bowls. Garnish
each bowl with deep-fried tortilla squares.
NOTE: Stack six or eight tortillas on a flat surface and using a
sharp knife cut them in cubes about half and inch square. Drop the
cubes into hot fat and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, until
crisp and golden.
