BUFFALO CHICKEN SAUSAGE AND PEPPER SANDWICH



Buffalo Chicken Sausage and Pepper Sandwich image

This is a tasty and very easy sandwich to make. It is sort of a cross between a peppers and onion sandwich with sausage and a buffalo chicken cheese steak. You can make it as hot or mild as you like. I use this sandwich as dinner with soup and salad. A very satisfying meal. The amount of blue cheese depends on how messy or not you like your sandwich to be.

2 drops yellow (egg shade) food coloring
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
2 2/3 cup milk
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
8 buffalo sausage, see Cook's Note*

Once all the dry ingredients have been added, stir a few more times to combine, but do not overmix. It's okay to have a few small lumps.

Flip the pancakes and cook on the other side until the bottom is golden brown, about 1 1/2 minutes. Remove the pancakes to a plate and place in the oven or warmer to keep them warm. Repeat to make 8 pancakes

  • Remove the syrup from the heat and add the maple flavoring. Ladle over the pancakes. The syrup is best served warm¿it can be reheated on the stove or in the microwave.

BUFFALO SAUSAGE



Buffalo Sausage image

Buffalo was (and still is) the primary game meat of the American Indians of the Southwest pueblos. They either hunted buffalo or, if they were an agrarian society like most pueblo tribes, they traded corn and other supplies for buffalo jerky and buffalo skins. Originally, there were over 60 million buffalo or bison roaming the continental United States from the Northwest all the way to Virginia. But by the 1920s, they were almost extinct from overhunting, with only 1,200 left. Fortunately, they have been brought back through effort and careful husbandry, and there are many suppliers of buffalo meat today. When planning my fall menus, I always include buffalo and pair it with local New Mexican fruits like our excellent apples from the Velarde Valley. Any high-quality buffalo sausage will work for this recipe, or substitute a game or lamb sausage.

Yield makes 6 tacos

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 medium New Mexico green chiles, oil-roasted, peeled, cored, and seeded (page 154)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 Jonathan apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
9 ounces buffalo sausage
1/8 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano, toasted and ground (page 161)
1/8 teaspoon cumin seed, toasted and ground (page 164)
1/8 teaspoon fennel seed, toasted and ground (page 164)
6 (5 1/2-inch) flour tortillas (page 16), for serving
Garnish: Crumbled goat cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300°F. Cut the prepared green chiles into 1/4-inch strips (rajas); set aside.
  • In a heavy skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the apple slices and sauté until lightly browned on both sides side, about 3 minutes total (be careful not to burn the butter). Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
  • In a large, heavy skillet, sear the sausages on all sides over medium-high heat until golden brown, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Transfer the sausages to a baking sheet and bake until cooked through, about 6 minutes.
  • To serve, cut the links into bite-sized pieces and sprinkle with ground oregano, cumin, and fennel. Combine with the chile rajas and serve immediately or keep warm until ready to serve.
  • To serve, lay the tortillas side by side, open face and overlapping on a platter. Divide the filling equally between the tortillas and top with crema and goat cheese. Grab, fold, and eat right away. Or build your own taco: lay a tortilla, open face, in one hand. Spoon on some filling, top with crema and goat cheese, fold, and eat right away.
