Monday, 10/11, Dinner? - cjs - 10-11-2010
What's on everyone's menu?
I'm making Daphne's review dinner. Fish sounds nice and light after yesterday's food fest.

It's Canadian Thanksgiving, so I'm doing chicken thighs (couldn't pass up a 10 lb bag of them for $3.71!!), cornbread stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy and broccoli.

Oh that's right - Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, Lorraine!! Taking the day off?

As of right now the plan is Cuisine at Home's fettucine alfredo topped with some chicken/olive/spinach/arthicoke sausage from Whole Foods. Baby romaine salad too.

I'm making Butternut Squash Soup from Cuisine's "Splendid Soups" and I don't know what else. I'm thinking about the Sausage-Apple Empanadas that are on the same page.

I love that Butternut Squash soup. It is a favorite in our house. That should be one for Jean's list of Winter Favorites.

We loved that soup and the Sausage-Apple Empanadas as well.

If anyone has a minute, I'd like to see the Sausage-Apple Empanadas recipe
Re: Monday, 10/11, Dinner? - Lorraine - 10-11-2010
I have that book, time to dig it out again, the empanadas sound great. We're off until next week, then we have 6 events in 5 days. Better take my Geritol.

Give me a few minutes to type it up and I'll post it for you, Cis.

Sausage-Apple Empanadas

Serving Size : 8 Preparation Time :0:00

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/4 pound bulk Italian sausage
1/3 cup Braeburn apple -- diced
2 Tablespoons pecans -- chopped
1 Tablespoon dry sherry
salt and pepper -- to taste
1 egg
1 Tablespoon water
1 sheet puff pastry -- thawed
Grated Parmesan and paprika
Preheat oven to 400F; line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Saute sausage in a skillet over medium-high heat until brown, 3-4 minutes. Add the apple and pecans, then deglaze with sherry, cooking until nearly evaporated, about 2 minutes. Season the mixture; chill while preparing the dough.
Beat the egg and water together for the egg wash; set aside. Roll the pastry sheet out on a floured work surface to a 13" square. With a pizza wheel, cut the pastry into 8 triangles as if cutting a pizza.
Fill each triangle with a heaping tablespoon of chilled sausage mixture. Brush edges with egg wash, fold in half to enclose filling, and crimp edges closed with a fork. Place empanadas on the prepared baking sheet, brush with egg wash. Sprinkle with cheese and paprika and bake until golden, about 15 minutes.
