QueenofQuiteAlot	Posted - Oct 05 2008 : 5:59:19 PM I trade some goats for half a wrapped hog, and got quite a bit of italian sausage...I normally don't use that, but since I have it, I might as well! Any good, simple rcipes that will help me use it up would be appreciated.

homergirl1957	Posted - Oct 06 2008 : 7:08:53 PM dalyn, i am in tieton. it is a small, small world isn't it. i just checked out your soaps today. wanted the pumpkin spice but looks like you are out? let me know when you make some more, please. cathy
QueenofQuiteAlot	Posted - Oct 06 2008 : 4:27:01 PM Cathy, thanks! That sounds good too, and any chance to use the sweet onions... Right now we are all cozy, eating that yummy Italian Tortelli soup that Ms. Lilly posted. Quick, huh?! Rosemary bread to dip in, and we are all feeling fat and sassy. Cathy, where are you? I'm in Yakima.

homergirl1957	Posted - Oct 06 2008 : 3:47:02 PM super simple and comforting, crumble the sausage, cook, then add sliced potatoes and tons of scliced onion and just cook up everything till the spuds and onions are nicely browned, don't forget s&p. add a salad and you have a rustic but yummy meal. since you are from central wash. as i am use up the last of the walla walla onions in this dish. this is a perfect opportunity to use a cast iron skillet!!! cathy
QueenofQuiteAlot	Posted - Oct 06 2008 : 08:58:49 AM aha! I'll also use up the flour I ground lastnight and make pan breadsticks with rosemary and olive oil. A good salad should make the whole thing a feast!

Ms.Lilly	Posted - Oct 06 2008 : 08:39:07 AM Here it is: 1 & 1/2 lbs ground Italian Sausage (I used a mixture of mild and hot) 2 Tabspoon olive oil 1 large onion 2 green bell pepppers seeded and diced 2 garlic cloves, minced 1 quart homemadeor canned beef broth 4 cups freshed or canned chopped tomatoes 1/4 cup fresh parsley 2 tsp chopped fresh thyme or 1 tsp dried thyme 2 small zucchini, sliced (you could use green beans if your family doesn't like zucchini) 2 Tablespoons pesto salt and pepper to taste freshly grated parmesan cheese for serving Cook sausage over med heat until browned. Remove from pan, drain and reserve. In stockpot add olive oil, garlic, onions, and bell pepper. Cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Add stock, tomatos, sausage and 2 cups of water. Cover and simmer for 30. Add parsley, thyme and zucchini and simmer, covered until the zucchini is tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the pesto, salt and pepper. Serve with parmesian cheese on top. The next time I make this I may add a few cheese tortillini to the soup. Lillian
Suzan	Posted - Oct 06 2008 : 07:38:22 AM Oh, Lillian, would you mind posting the recipe? It sounds wonderful
Ms.Lilly	Posted - Oct 06 2008 : 07:02:40 AM I made an italian sausage soup the other day and it was great! Lillian
QueenofQuiteAlot	Posted - Oct 05 2008 : 7:41:37 PM It all sounds good, and to think I wasn't the least bit inspired at first! I could google, but it's much more fun to get good farm girl recipes U Dalyn Muckboots 'N Aprons Chapter ~Hick Chicks Soap Barn ~ www.hickchickssoapbarn.com Homespun Raw Goat Milk Soaps 'n More http://muckbootsnaprons.blogspot.com/ http://proverbs31nubians.blogspot.com/

one_dog_per_acre	Posted - Oct 05 2008 : 7:08:31 PM I always use it in quiche with feta cheese mmm Trish Farmgirl Sister #91 Make cupcakes not war! http://adventuresofowenmaxwell.blogspot.com/
catscharm74	Posted - Oct 05 2008 : 6:58:21 PM Make some sausage patties then and then put the peppers and onions on top..still yummy!!! : ) Heather Yee-Haw, I am a cowgirl!!! FARMGIRL #90
QueenofQuiteAlot	Posted - Oct 05 2008 : 6:44:15 PM I should have said it's ground by the way, but I LOVE the idea of making meatloaf with it! Fantasic leftover sandwhiches too. Thanks!

catscharm74	Posted - Oct 05 2008 : 6:16:40 PM My favorite way of serving Italian sausage is frying up some peppers and onions and then cutting the sausages either in half or into slices or whatever you like and serving them with butter and Italian bread...this is how I grew up eating it.

Ronna	Posted - Oct 05 2008 : 6:16:19 PM It will add flavor to just about any recipe using ground meat. Lucky you. If I had freezer room, I would buy 1/4 of my stepmom's grandson's steer. Any home grown meat, without all the "extra's" is good. My biggest drawback is the kid is such a total jerk, I'd think of him each time I ate the beef and that would ruin my meal. Laugh, but it's true.
graciegreeneyes	Posted - Oct 05 2008 : 6:16:16 PM Dalyn, I use it in my meatloaf - 2 parts ground beef to 1 part italian sausage. It is really yummy, you can just sub it in to any meatloaf recipe. Also if you brown it you can use it as an italian soup starter with tomato sauce and tortellini, really good. Amy Grace Farmgirl #224 "use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without"
deeredawn	Posted - Oct 05 2008 : 6:09:00 PM I use it in my spaghetti, jambalaya, chili. As far as recipes go, I dont actually have any, I just use it as a filler to cut down on so much other meat.
