ITALIAN-STYLE ORGANIC CHICKEN SAUSAGES IN VEGETARIAN CASING

Steps:

• Grind basil, rehydrate sun dried tomatoes and onion in a food processor. Add to ground chicken in a large bowl. Combine spices and sprinkle altogether over bowl contents. Mix.
• Lightly spray a plate with oil. Set up a large container with at least an inch of warm water (big enough to dip your rice wraps in, and you'll need one more plate to make your sausages.
• Soak a rice wrap for 5-10 seconds then lay it on your empty plate. Spoon 1/5 of the filling onto your wrap and form into a sausage. Roll it up while folding in the sides. To grill, lightly spray the sausages and grill with oil. BBQ until they hit about 170. You can optionally bake or pan fry them for easy winter preparation.

TURKEY ANDOUILLE SAUSAGE NO CASING

Steps:

• Combine bread and buttermilk in small bowl, mashing occasionally with fork, until smooth paste forms, about 10 minutes then combine with the rest of the ingredients.
• Form into balls (don't overcompact). Brown on all sides in a medium-high skillet - oil sizzling but not smoking - about 10 minutes. If adding to sauce, undercook slightly then, pour off oil but leave brown bits in pan, build sauce, and add back for last 15-30 minutes of simmering.

BRAISED RABBIT, ITALIAN-STYLE

Steps:

• Rinse the rabbit pieces in cold water and pat dry.
• In a deep wide skillet with a lid, put the oil, celery, garlic, and the rabbit in a single layer. Cover and simmer over low heat for about 2 hours. Turn the meat once or twice. If some of the ingredients begin to scorch, add a little water.
• After 2 hours, the rabbit may have thrown off a lot of liquid. Uncover the pan, turn the heat up to medium, and cook until the liquid has evaporated, turning the meat from time to time.
• Add the wine, rosemary, salt and pepper. Simmer, uncovered, until the wine has evaporated.
• Dissolve the bouillon cube, tomato paste, and sugar in the warm water. Pour it over the rabbit, and cook gently for another 12 to 15 minutes, basting and turning the rabbit two or three times.
• Serve immediately, accompanied by polenta if desired.
• (The dish may be prepared entirely ahead of time. Reheat gently with 2 to 3 tablespoons of water over low heat, covered, turning the meat occasionally.).
