CHICKEN SAUCE PIQUANTE

Steps:

• Heat 1/4 cup of the olive oil in large heavy nonstick pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with 1 teaspoon of the salt. In a bowl combine the Essence with 1/2 cup of the flour and stir to combine. Dredge the chicken pieces in the seasoned flour mixture and shake to remove any excess flour. Brown the pieces, in batches if necessary, until golden on all sides, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
• Stir in the onions, bell peppers, celery, remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt, crushed red pepper flakes, cayenne, and bay leaves. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft and lightly golden, about 5 minutes. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons of the flour and cook, stirring, to cook the flour without browning, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, chicken stock, Worcestershire, and pepper sauce.
• Return the chicken to the pot, increase the heat under the sauce to medium-high and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fall-from the bone tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Remove and discard the bay leaves.
• To serve, spoon the rice onto plates, top with the chicken and sauce, and garnish with the green onions and parsley.
• Combine all ingredients thoroughly.

MEATLOAF WITH PIQUANT SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. Mix the ingredients for the sauce and set aside to thicken.
• 2. Preheat oven to 350F. In a large bowl mix ground beef and remaining 6 ingredients. I then mix this thoroughly and form into a loaf shape, fit into loaf pan and pour the sauce over the top. Bake 350F for 1 hour or until meatloaf is no longer pink.
• 3. After you take meatloaf out of the oven, remove meat out of pan and let it rest on a small wire rack to drain. Then slice and serve.

ROXY'S SAUCE PIQUANTE

Steps:

• Sautee the veggies and garlic in the oil until tender.
• Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, and spices.
• Simmer 10 - 15 minutes.
• Taste for spiciness; add more of the 3 peppers if you want it hotter (but watch out because it gets hotter over time).
• Add the raw chicken and simmer until chicken is cooked through.
• Serve over cooked rice (mom prefers Jasmine, which is more authentic, I believe; I use brown rice for everything).
• Special note from mom: "Really good as a left over, when the spices have had time to really mature.".
