Favorite Recipes of the Festival Committee Members

 

Our committee members don't just plan the festival, they use herbs....lots of herbs.  Here are some recipes from them.

Hot and Spicy Chili
1 lb. Ground beef
2 Tbs. Chili powder
1 ½ tsp. Salt
1 ½ cloves garlic (minced)
1 medium onion (chopped)
¼ tsp. Black pepper
¼ tsp. Cayenne
1 tsp. Cumin
1 tsp. Oregano
4 Tbs. Flour
2 cups tomato juice
2 Tbs. Canola Oil
            Heat oil in small stock pot or large sauce pan.  Sauté the onions until limp. Add the meat and brown.  Add the seasonings and the flour. Mix well and stir in tomato juice.  Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.  Reduce heat and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. This chili is not a substitute for a really good pot of chili, but it is good, tasty and a quick meal.  Heat: 4     Servers: 4 to 6

Italian Salad Dressing II
¾ cup salad oil
¼ cup wine vinegar
A few dashes of Tabasco Sauce
1 to 2 tablespoons lime juice
½ teaspoon sugar
Freshly ground pepper
1 teaspoon of oregano
2 cloves of garlic, crushed
1 small onion, minced
         Place all ingredients but the oil in a blender and blend for a few seconds.  Slowly feed the oil in a very fine stream while blending at high speed until all the oil is well blended. Refrigerate before using.  Store in refrigerator.
