Ospidillo Cafe Spaghetti Sauce Food

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!

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.

I don't call this spaghetti sauce (even though it is) because I specifically developed this recipe to complement Italian meatballs. You can use your own homemade meatballs (pre-cooked) or commercial ones, (also pre-cooked. I buy my frozen Italian Meatballs at Sam's Club but they're generally available at large grocers). Some may choose to use the sauce without any meat at all. Either way, this sauce is very full-flavored.

This is a condiment served on Mexican dishes such as fajitas. The bright blend of flavors is just incredible and, before you know it, you'll be spooning this stuff over non-Mexican dishes such as fried chicken or pork roast. It will keep just fine for 3 or 4 days in the refrigerator. I got this recipe from an old church fundraiser cookbook (Reorganized LDS church in Independence, Missouri) that a beloved aunt sent me several years ago. I have never had better Pica de Gallo anywhere. (pronounced: Peek-uh day guy-O, according to my daughter who speaks some Spanish). I have a Mexican friend who also says it's pretty genuine and the best that he ever had too. This is much less tomato-ey than regular salsa. The time listed includes marinating time in the refrigerator. I hope others will enjoy this excellent Mexican condiment as much as my friends and family do.

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.
