Recipe Friday: Chicken Koulibiak

This week: Chicken Koulibiak

Start by creating puff pastry shells (Pâte à Choux) --

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 eggs

Preheat oven 400°F.

In a medium saucepan, melt butter. Add 1 cup of water and bring to a boil. Add flour & salt all at once; stir vigorously. Cook and stir until the mixture forms a ball that doesn't separate. Remove from heat and let cool for 10 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, beating with a wooden spoon after each addition until smooth.

Drop dough by heaping teaspoonfuls, 2 inches apart, onto a greased baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes.

Next make the chicken filling --

  • 1/2 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup onions, chopped
  • 1/2 cup celery, chopped
  • 1/2 cup carrots, shredded
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon dill weed
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 pound cooked chicken (about 2 7oz. cans of chunk chicken)

Saute mushrooms, onions, celery and carrots in butter until tender. Off heat, add chicken and the rest of the ingredients. Mix well and place back on low heat until hot all the way through. Spoon into puff pastry shells and garnish with sour cream and chives.

You can size the portions to be finger foods or as a main course by changing the size of the Pâte à Choux pastries.

This recipe also works with salmon -- replace the chicken with 1 16oz can of salmon.

60 Minutes & Chevron

I don't normally post stuff about work, but after watching the drivel on 60 Minutes last night about the "Ecuadorian" lawsuit against Chevron, I had to relay this: Images are of Petroecuador sites and are not Texaco-remediated sites: The images of oil pits, and oil operations in general, that “60 Minutes” used are of locations that are the sole responsibility of Petroecuador, Texaco Petroleum’s partner from the days of the consortium. “60 Minutes” knew this fact, but chose to ignore it in its reporting. No responsibility was placed on Petroecuador: Petroecuador has been the sole operator of oil fields in Ecuador since 1992 and has compiled a well-documented record of environmental mismanagement. In addition, Petroecuador has repeatedly stated that it is responsible for the remaining cleanup work that is required in the Ecuadorian Amazon and it readily admits that it has not cleaned up the sites allocated to them under the remediation action plan 15 years ago. Again, “60 M...

Promise? What Promise?

from the NYT " The Caucus " blog... "A gaggle of sign-waving protestors milled around outside The Beverly Hilton, the sprawling hotel on Wilshire Boulevard. They must have caught the president’s eye when he arrived at the hotel from an earlier stop in Las Vegas because he relayed one of their messages to the crowd. 'One of them said, “Obama keep your promise,’ the president said. 'I thought that’s fair. I don’t know which promise he was talking about.' The people in the audience – who paid $30,400 per couple to attend – laughed as they ate a dinner of roasted tenderloin, grilled organic chicken and sun choke rosemary mashed potatoes." Feel free to take this image and put it on your blog -- or even on a poster or t-shirt. Just do me the favor of linking back here and/or putting a link to your blog (or a picture of the graphic in action) in the comments. Thanks!
