California Farm Old Fashioned Hen Stew California Farm Old Fashioned Hen Stew
This old family recipe starts with: “ kill and pluck a large old hen”. It is probably the oldest recipe I have. My grandfather taught me to butcher chickens humanely, we hypnotize them first till they fall asleep and then butcher. This recipe is for a whole large chicken, seven pounds. If your store does not have large old hens, ask for a large capon. You can also cut this recipe in half, or use two frozen young chickens and add one chicken bouillion cube per cup of liquid to imitate the strong old hen flavor.The chicken flavor should permeate the whole stew, potatoes, rice, beans and cabbage included.#oldfashioned Hobby Horseman -

Now that excellent fish stock can be made from shrimp bouillion cubes, I no longer simmer whole fish overnight. The shrimp bouillion is used to make soup from braised tomatoes, carrots, celery, onion, garlic, potato, fennel, saffron, herbs, all fresh from the garden. Just before serving, frozen white fish, frozen cooked mussels and frozen raw shrimp are added. Served with Sour dough bread with a special sauce called rouille. Follow this 12 pint recipe even if you cook for only two people, so you have all ingredients in each pint portion for freezing. Hobby Horseman -
California Farm Zucchini Potato Gochujang Stew California Farm Zucchini Potato Gochujang Stew
I love a spicy sauce that brings hearty vegetables together in a stew, and gochujang pepper sauce does just that with zucchini, yellow squash, red and yellow potatoes, celeriac, parsnip, carrot, celery, mushroom, scallion and garlic.To find your gochujang spice comfort level, you ladle the vegetables on your plate with a slotted spoon, and add one tablespoon of broth. Taste. You can add a spoon of yoghurt, sour cream or coconut cream to the stew after a few bites if too pungent. Over time, your taste will develop, tolerate and demand more spice.This stew smells wonderful in your kitchen. The dinner will also give you a wonderful feeling like you had a filling meal without being stuffed. Hobby Horseman -

California Farm Beef in Beer Stew California Farm Beef in Beer Stew
Dark beer, beef, onions, mustard, honey, bay leaf, thyme, a great way to turn the tough, least expensive cuts of beef into tender dinners. Reverse marinade: brown beef first to seal the juices in, then marinade overnight in beer, then 3 hour stew, it is slow but worth it. Freezes well, make frozen dinners for the year. Serve with french fries or potatoes. Hobby Horseman -
