Hi Idahoans!

I'm Cheffie, helping out with the PTO cookbook... How about sending us some recipes!

I found a potato site and will be pulling some of the more unique ones to email. http://www.panix.com/~donwiss/potato/

Hey TNC...
tell you what...
I'll supply a spud recipe, if you supply a fish recipe for the Oregon site!!??!!??
I'm not a fan of fish, but LOVE the SPUDS!!! LOLOLOL

You have yourself a deal, but what kind of Fish is Oregon known for? I know dont know of any fish recipes, but I know of a catfish tip.

soak your catfish in milk for a while before you cook it and it removes any mud taste that catfish is known for.

Hey this is great!! TEAMWORK!! Cheffie will be proud

I'll have to ask about what fish is native to Oregon!! I haven't a clue!! I'm pretty sure salmon is a safe bet!!

One spud recipe will be emailed to the Chef!!!

Thanks!

What are those giant fish in the columbia river? Do you actually eat them or are they trophey only? I think those would be a great one to find a recipe for

Honey... I wouldn't eat anything that comes out of the rivers around here!!
I won't even swim in them!
Between Portland sewage overflow and the nuclear power plant up river in WA... no way!!

Oh... we have clams and that kind of stuff too... Maybe I'll go do an internet search!

I could give you a great recipe for cooking wild turkey, grouse, rabbit, moose, elk, deer, bear and even cougar! I'm sure we could throw some potatoes in those recipes somewhere! ;)

TNC --- I sent in a West Coast Clam Chowder... kinda combines Washington seafood with Idaho spuds!!!

At last count, I have sent in more than 25 recipes.

Idaho..... can you top my count?

Well I have sent in several, but I have NO idea how many. I guess I will have to check on that, but I dont think it was quite 25

Heres my challenge to you.....Most unique--I mean something that you probably wont find in any ol cookbook

My Unique was Rocky mountain oysters

I knew you couldnt beat that.....

Rocky Mountain Oysters (Montana Tendergroin)

2 pounds bull testicles (lamb/sheep, calf or turkey testicles can also be used)
1 cup flour
1/4 cup cornmeal
1 cup red wine
salt, pepper, garlic powder to taste
Louisiana Hot Sauce
hog lard (cooking oil can be substituted)

Split the tough skin-like muscle that surrounds each "oyster." (use a sharp knife) You can also remove the skin easily if the "oysters" are frozen and then peeled while thawing. Set into a pan with enough salt water to cover them for one hour to remove some of the blood and drain.
Transfer to large pot. Add enough water to float "oysters" and a generous tablespoon of vinegar. Parboil, drain and rinse. Let cool and slice each "oyster" into 1/4 inch thick ovals. Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides of sliced "oyster" to taste.

Mix flour, cornmeal and some garlic powder to taste in a bowl. Roll each slice into this dry mixture. Dip into milk. Dip into dry mixture. Dip into wine quickly (repeat the procedure for a thicker crust).
Place into hot cooking oil. Add Louisiana Hot Sauce to cooking oil (it'll sizzle some, so be careful!). Cook until golden brown or tender, and remove with a strainer (the longer they cook, the tougher they get).

Here ya go girls.....Yummy!

More you say?
