THE OSPIDILLO CAFE CRAB CHOWDER



The Ospidillo Cafe Crab Chowder image

But it's NOT crab -- it's imitation crabmeat so it's CHEAP... and delicious! I created this one because I really like the cream chowders that I've savored in New England. We have trouble obtaining good seafood where I live here in southern Ohio, so I decided to make due with what I COULD get. One thing that's always cheap and available around here is frozen imitation crabmeat. So I gave this a lot of thought, did some preliminary experimentation, and this dish was the ultimate result. I'm very happy with this recipe and I find it quite similar in flavor to a rich clam chowder. The idea of using local fresh and common vegetables worked out well for boosting the flavor too. While the veggies enhance the dish, make no mistake about it, this recipe definitely conveys the full ambiance of a seafood chowder. Cooking and prep times are approximate. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. big pat.

OSPIDILLO CAFE HOT DOG CHILI SAUCE NO. 13



Ospidillo Cafe Hot Dog Chili Sauce No. 13 image

Remember the best dairy bar footer/coney you ever had as a kid? This sauce is right in there, folks. The recipe is the final result of five years of frequent experimentation, blending the ingredients of many different family and commercial recipes, as well as adding my own recipe ideas. You can freeze what you don't use right away.

2 lbs ground chuck, finely ground
12 ounces good-quality sausage
2 pork hot dogs or 2 turkey hot dogs, finely ground
5 large onions, chopped
1 green bell pepper, de-seeded and chopped
3 (15 ounce) cans chicken broth
1 (12 ounce) bottle chili sauce
2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste
1 cup good-quality ketchup
3 bay leaves
2 garlic cloves, crushed
5 tablespoons prepared mustard
3 tablespoons onion flakes (dried)
2 tablespoons dried ancho chile powder (or other)
1 tablespoon dried sweet basil leaves
1 tablespoon italian seasoning
1 tablespoon Dale's Steak Seasoning
1 tablespoon l&p Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons cider vinegar (yellow)
1 teaspoon black pepper (canned)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce

Steps:

  • Using about three cups of water in a small pan, boil the sausage for a few minutes until it is broken up. Drain, using a colander, and put the sausage and the 1 Tablespoon of Italian Seasoning into a food processor and pulse it until it is of a fine consistency.
  • Combine all ingredients, including the sausage, into a large cooking pot on medium heat and bring to a boil. (If you can't find Dale's Steak Seasoning, use 2 teaspoons of soy and one additional teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce). Once it boils, reduce the heat to low and allow it to simmer, covered, for two hours, stirring often.
  • At the end of the 2 hours, remove the bay leaves and any pieces of garlic you can find, and serve over hot dogs or footers with mustard and finely diced onions.

OSPIDILLO CAFE SPAGHETTI SAUCE



Ospidillo Cafe Spaghetti Sauce image

It doesn't get more simple than this -- a commercial type spaghetti sauce that you can also use for lasagna. I recommend using a large, heavy-bottomed cooking pot because this recipe makes a lot of sauce and it has to simmer for three hours. Short of traveling to Italy, you won't find many sauces that taste better. I typically use whatever I what I need when I make up a batch and freeze the rest in zip-lock bags.

THE OSPIDILLO CAFE CHICKEN CACCIATORE



The Ospidillo Cafe Chicken Cacciatore image

Does your family love chicken like mine does? This is my clan's all-round favorite dish of any sort. The original recipe came from Mr. Food (Art Ginsberg) before I messed with it a bit to suit our tastes. It's easy, fairly cheap, feeds 6, sticks to your ribs, and can be prepared easily in 90 minutes. Once you have it going, you just monitor it and make your spaghetti to serve it over (you could serve it over rice). I make this chicken cacciatore at least once a month and they'd be happier around here if I made it once a week! It is much better if the skin is left on while cooking (chicken doesn't get leathery that way) -- you can pull it off (it practically falls off) when you serve it if you wish. Also, if you use plain table salt, cut it back to 1/2 a teaspoon. Sometimes I use whole chickens, cut up, (without the backs, necks, and organs, which I save for making stock), and sometimes just legs and thighs -- it really doesn't matter. We often take this recipe camping, making up the spaghetti ahead of time and storing it in zip-lock bags in the cooler. One final variation -- you can substitute an equivalent amount of fresh Roma tomatoes instead of the canned ones for a "brighter" flavor but, if you do, add 6 ounces of V-8 juice to the recipe. Enjoy, my friends!

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h25m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

12 chicken pieces, various, skin on
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup white onion, sliced lengthwise
1 bell pepper, de-seeded and chopped (optional)
2 fresh garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup dry red wine
30 ounces Italian-style tomatoes, diced, with juice
1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1 cup fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried sweet basil leaves

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, or in a large electric frying pan (my method), brown the chicken parts in the olive oil.
  • When the chicken is browned, remove the pieces from the skillet and saute the onions in the oil until tender. Drain the oil (do not scrape the pan!).
  • Deglaze the pan with the wine, whisking over medium heat for about a minute. Add the chicken pieces and onions to this sauce, then add in all other ingredients, adding the seasonings and herbs to the top. Cover and allow to cook at a very low boil for one hour and ten minutes, turning the chicken only once. If you want more liquid, add canned chicken stock (about 15 ounces).
  • Serve over cooked spaghetti.

THE OSPIDILLO CAFE CABBAGE ROLL SAUCE



The Ospidillo Cafe Cabbage Roll Sauce image

Most accomplished cooks have their own cabbage roll filling recipe -- this is just a recipe for an especially good sauce to complement your own cabbage rolls. It is tomato-based and the dill really comes through. My wonderful mother-in-law gave me the original recipe and I tweaked it with the wine. It will easily provide enough sauce for 12-15 big cabbage rolls. I love this sauce!

Tips:

  • Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor, use fresh, high-quality ingredients. Fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices will make a big difference in the overall taste of the soup.
  • Sauté Vegetables: Sautéing the vegetables before adding them to the soup helps to develop their flavor and add depth to the soup.
  • Use Good Quality Broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich flavor.
  • Simmer Gently: Bring the soup to a simmer and then let it cook gently for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld together and develop.
  • Season to Taste: Taste the soup and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs to taste.
  • Garnish before Serving: Garnish the soup with fresh herbs, croutons, or a drizzle of olive oil before serving. This will add a pop of color and flavor to the soup.
