I'm now craving mash with gravy. Comfort food! Oh well, it only 1 a.m. here. I could easily rustle up mash 'n gravy...

Is this also a Recipe Challenge entry?

I originally decided not to, but I think I will now: it's a simple preparation, but I want to also include steps for grinding the chicken thigh meat with the skin on.

It's our DD's big 40 today. Wish we could be with her. Stuffed mirliton with a shrimp and crab butter cream sauce. It's a Paul Prudhomme recipe.

I had to look up mirliton - which turns out to be a type of kazoo as well as a chayote! This looks delicious. What is the mirliton stuffed with?

 

[Yorky]

Kazoo?

 

[Morning Glory]

Kazoo?

Yep!

Chopped up mirliton, the cajun trinity of onions, green bell, celery, garlic, a mix of cajun spices, lots of butter, some seafood/mirliton broth and bread crumbs. The mirliton halves are boiled in seafood stock, which you use to moisten the stuffing and as part of the butter cream sauce. This is not a low fat/calorie meal, just like most of his recipes.

 

[CraigC]

Yep!

Ah reminds me of the CCR song "Down On the Corner".

Honey marinated flank steak with a horseradish sauce, with some of the leftover bacon and horsradish potato salad from the weekend.
