DINOSAUR-STYLE BAR-B-QUE BEANS



Dinosaur-Style Bar-B-Que Beans image

These beans have a deep, broodin' flavor-sweet and spicy at the same time. We add crumbled hot Italian sausage to make 'em truly special.

Yield feeds 10 to 12

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 large onion, chopped
3/4 cup chopped green pepper
Pinch each of kosher salt and black pepper
3 large cloves garlic, chopped
8 ounces hot Italian sausage, removed from casing
2 cans (28 ounces each) baked beans, preferably Bush's
3/4 cup Mutha Sauce (page 165)
1 tablespoon Creole mustard (preferably Zatarain's) or spicy brown mustard
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon Creole Seasoning (page 167)
1 tablespoon molasses

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onions and peppers and cook til soft, adding a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss in the garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
  • Crumble the sausage into the veggies and cook, chopping to break the meat into small pieces. Cook til the pink disappears. Drain off some of the bean liquid in each can so that it's at the same height as the beans; then mix the contents of both cans into the cooked veggies and sausage.
  • Turn the heat down to medium-low and add all the rest of the ingredients. Simmer for 5 minutes. Serve immediately, or cool and reheat before serving (lettin' the flavors blend a while never hurts).

DRUNKEN SHAMELESS SPICY SHRIMP (DINOSAUR BBQ)



Drunken Shameless Spicy Shrimp (Dinosaur BBQ) image

John Stage almost always leaves something out in the recipes he publishes so they are just a little off. In this case, I think he just wrote "creole seasoning" when in fact, this stuff tastes most authentic with a spice they sell around here in the restaurant and in stores called "Cajun Foreplay." Use it generously. Either way these are delicious, especially served with Dinosaur BBQ Cocktail Sauce (recipe # 295318). Not for wimps!

DIRTY RICE



Dirty Rice image

This is the ultimate "anything goes" dish. All you need is some sausage and any kind of raw or cooked meat you might have on hand. We use a tasty mix of sausage, chicken, pulled pork, and ham. The only thing you can't skip are the chicken livers. That's what makes Dirty Rice dirty and gives it its deep, rich flavor. We've been servin' it every Wednesday as a featured side, and we've found that Central New Yorkers really appreciate this frugal New Orleans specialty. It's also good as a stuffing for Cornish hens, pork chops, or turkey.

Yield feeds 4 as a main course or 8 as a side dish or stuffing portion

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/3 cup olive oil
2 cups chopped onion
1 cup chopped green pepper

2 tablespoons minced garlic
1/2 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut in 2-inch cubes
1 pound bulk sweet Italian sausage

1/4 pound leftover meat of any kind, shredded or diced (about 1 cup)
1/2 pound chicken livers, puréed in a food processor
3 cups chicken broth or stock (to make your own, see page 168)
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 bay leaf
1 1/2 cups parboiled long-grain rice (preferably Uncle Ben's)

Steps:

  • Set a Dutch oven on the burner. Pour in the oil and get it nice and hot over medium-high heat. Toss in the onions, green peppers, and jalapeños. Season with salt and pepper.

Crumble in the sausage and keep cooking and stirring til it loses its pink color. Toss in the remaining meats and the liver purée. Douse the meats with the broth and add the cayenne, cumin, oregano, and bay leaf. Stir in the rice and bring it all to a boil. Cover and turn the heat down low. Cook for 20 minutes without stirring.
