Alex,
You made me hungry with the story, but you forgot to include Mom's old
recipe.
Still hungry,
Frank

Subject: [CH] Chicken Paprikash
Pods,
This is one of Mom's old recipes that goes back as far as I can remember.
We had a whole chicken and we decided to do this. Mom was drowsy, though,
so she started it and I finished it. I nailed it, and without paprika, I
used the OF08 pods I called "curly red" that I'm growing this year.
We have many old cookbooks and Mom's favorite recipes like this, or beef
stroganoff, are scattered among them. I found a few chicken paprikash
recipes and approximated something like them. But I was surprised that we
didn't have any typical Hungarian paprika on hand. So since those curly
reds are about at 5 on a scale of 10, I thought they'd do. It worked! The
recipes also called for some green bell peppers, but I substituted some
unripe New Mex. And instead of tomato paste, I diced up an heirloom tomato.
Shut the lid on the Le Creuset and let Nature take her Course.
