Turkey Pot Pie








I decided to make a turkey pot pie for the family this evening. I wanted to get away from shortening so I tried organic butter. The crust was fantastic. It goes like this:

3 cups baker's flour
1 cup Kerrigold's unsalted butter
2 t sea salt
1/2 cup ice water

That's it!

The filling was the following:

1 large sweet yellow onion
5 carrots chopped
6 stalks celery chopped
2 cups turkey meat chopped
1 cup turkey stock
1 TBS corn starch
1 TBS cracked peppercorn
just enough olive oil to coat the bottom of the skillet

Enjoy the pictures!

Garth's "Bubba Gump" BBQ Shrimp

Image
Method: Butterfly, peal and de-vein jumbo white gulf shrimp. In large pan add shrimp, soy sauce and black pepper. Mix well really getting your hands into it. Sprinkle with onion powder, garlic powder and minced garlic and basil. All amounts are to taste. Add a healthy dollop of extra virgin olive oil and a can of Dole crushed pineapple and a cup or two of Dole pineapple juice. You can substitute wine, if you like. I put a little honey in the mixture and cover and marinate for a while. Cooking uncovered on the hot side of a smoker or directly over the coals on a backyard pit, mix in a rolling action as to cook all shrimp evenly. On a hot fire it does not take long. Be careful not to over cook the shrimp. I like the flavor a hot pecan fire adds to the final product and mesquite works well too. As you can tell, this is a flexible recipe and relatively easy to prepare for large groups. If you would like to spice it up a bit, cayenne pepper is a good addition. If I am not mistaken, that pre...

Gluten-free Chicken & Dumplings

Image
  I buy whole free-range organic chickens and slow boil them with 2 onions, 4 carrots, 5 stalks of celery, 6 whole cloves of garlic, 5 bay leaves, pink Himalayan sea salt and fresh cracked tellicherry black peppercorns. After about an hour or when the chicken just starts to fall apart I remove the chicken and let cool. I keep the chicken stock on a medium simmer while the chicken cools. I then de-bone the chicken and put the bones back in the stock. I slow boil the stock with the bones for 3 to 4 hours adding water along the way. I then strain the stock and discard the bones and vegetables. I end up with roughly 2 gallons of chicken stock. I then cut up additional carrots and celery and add back to the strained stock until almost tender. I then remove the vegetables and drop the dumplings into a slow boil/ high simmer and cook for about 20 minutes. After the dumplings are done I add the vegetables and chicken. We love these dumplings and they are good for the soul ~ *garnish with p...
