I've got whole wheat orzo in the pantry as well. No rosamarina but do
have some small (white) pasta that I got at Olindo's (the Italian store
we go to in Rochester, NY) that I intend to use for pasta fagole. (know that's not spelled right) I have adapted my mother in law's recipe that uses tomato soup and canned pork and beans to use tomato sauce and
canneli beans instead.

The old Dagoes (their self-description) around here call it "Pasta
Fazool"

That's the pronunciation, spelling is different. BTW, Olive Garden
referrs to their version as soup; I make mine thicker, more like a
stew, and much better tasting, IMO. (G)

The recipe I posted is thick so yone could get away with calling it a
"stew".

One of them steered me to this recipe which he claims his mother
used to use.

Title: Pasta E Fagioli Con Carne
Categories: Beans, Pork, Vegetables, Cheese
Yield: 6 Servings

Quite the production there. I use short cuts like tomato paste and
sauce, canned beans, no meat and a somewhat different spicing but I
guess there are as many versions as there are Italian mamas.

Or chilli recipes. Bv)=

Not as big a deal as it might seem. Good for a lazy Sunday afternoon
(I'm not a football fan) as I use all the shortcuts I can without any compromising taste or texture.

Here's the recipe I use most often (twice ot thrice a year) w/no meat
and lotsa shortcuts. And it crockpots nicely once the onions are done
in the skillet.

Hi Dave,

I saw that but I'll probably stick with the recipe my MIL gave me. It's
close to what Steve grew up with; I just tinkered it a bit to come up
with how we cook.

One of them steered me to this recipe which he claims his mother
used to use.

leaves a wide open field.

before. Sunday afternoons I usually read the paper (on the tablet) and

That's why I called them "Chilli Chumps" Only a few are what I would
call chilli. The rest, especially the vegetarian ones get away with the "Chilli" title only because the editorial staff at Taste of Home doesn't
seem to know the definition of chilli.

According to Serious Eats "Chilli was invented in San Antonio is said
to be a bowl of "red": tender, individual stewed chunks of beef swaddled
in a spicy, cumin-spiked sauce made from red chiles, which lend the dish
an appealing russet hue."

The International Chili Society (a subsidiary of World Food Championships)
says of "competition chilli "Traditional Red Chili is defined by the International Chili Society as any kind of meat or combination of meats, cooked with red chile peppers, various spices and other ingredients,
with the exception of BEANS and PASTA which are strictly forbidden.
No garnish is allowed."

Until we get to their "Homestyle" competition - "Homestyle Chili is
any kind of meat, or combination of meats, and/or vegetables cooked
with beans, chile peppers, various spices and other ingredients.
Homestyle chili may be any color. Beans are required and should be
visible in every spoonful. Preference is not given to either cut,
ground, shredded or cubed meat."

Or Chile Verde - "Chile Verde is any kind of meat, or combination of
meats, cooked with green chile peppers, various spices and other
ingredients. Beans and non-vegetable fillers such as rice and pasta
are not allowed. Preference is not given to either cut meat, ground
meat, shredded meat or cubed meat."

Traditional meats in ICS chile verde are pork or chicken. Personally
I like verde made with lamb - if I get a "deal" on the meat. Lamb is
pretty 'spensive around here. Only if I find a really good sale do I
use it to make chile verde.

Not as big a deal as it might seem. Good for a lazy Sunday afternoon
(I'm not a football fan) as I use all the shortcuts I can without any compromising taste or texture.

Here's a favourite verde recipe using sheep meat:

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

Title: Navajo Chile Verde (Lamb/Goat)
Categories: Lamb/mutton, Chilies, Pork, Vegetables
Yield: 6 Servings

3 lb Lamb or goat shoulder
2 c Stewed tomatoes
3 tb Bacon grease
6 oz Can tomato paste
1/3 c Flour
3 c Water (or chicken broth)
3 md Onions; chopped
2 1/2 ts Salt
6 cl Garlic; minced or pressed
1/2 ts Dried, ground oregano
32 oz (2 cans) whole green chilies

Melt bacon grease in a skillet over med-high heat. Put
flour into a paper bag and shake the meat with the flour
to coat meat. Add the meat to the bacon grease a little
at a time and brown well & evenly. Remove the meat to a
5 qt. Dutch oven. Add the onions & garlic to the skillet
and saute until translucent. Add these to the pork in
the pot. Stir in the remaining ingredients, bring pot to
a boil, and keep stirring every 2-3 minutes. When boiling
lower heat to low & simmer for 45 minutes. Taste, adjust
seasonings as per personal taste, and cook for 30 mins.

This recipe comes to us from the Native Americans we call
the Navajo. They call themselves the Di-neh. It is a great
stew and deserves your attention!

Enjoy!

at the annual big ICS cook-off held in Myrtke Beach, SC last year.
Being Jewish he used chicken for his meat.
