"Baseball Soup" --Plymouth's Portuguese Comfort Food

Plenty of fresh kale and spicy Portuguese sausage with a flavorful broth and small pasta We spent a huge part of our growing up years in Plymouth, Massachusetts. There were the expected chowders, lobster rolls and corn breads, and lots of Italian American markets full of all the Italian food you could think of. But there is also a very vibrant and distinct Portuguese tradition in Plymouth, and it certainly comes through in much of the food we all came to know and love. No trip downtown was complete without stopping at one of the bakeries and getting a linguica roll, a long white yeast roll with chunks of grilled juicy linguica, a Portuguese pork sausage, baked inside. There is also the mysteriously named Baseball Soup , full of kale and rounds of chouriso sausage. It is an item you could get at some restaurants, but probably was more of a staple in many, many Plymouth homes. My Dad got a recipe from the chef at the now-closed 1620 restaurant that was on Samoset and Water streets. E

Pollo Borracho AKA Drunken Chicken

A wonderful, easy dish to make for a large gathering of people, spicy, but not too much, all simmered in one big skillet. Add some rice and black beans and you have a feast! Pollo Boraccho Serves 4 generously 2 Tbl. veg. oil 2-1/2 to 3 lb. chicken thighs, with skin and bone in 1 white onion, thinly sliced 3 garlic cloves, chopped 14-1/2 oz. can of diced tomatoes, undrained 1 cup beer, like Dos Equis or an amber ale 1 Tbl. oregano 3 pickled jalapenos, sliced, or to taste 2 Tbl. of the vinegar from the jalapenos 1/2 tsp. salt pepper to taste Chopped cilantro to garnish Choose a large skillet or dutch oven with a lid, that will hold all the chicken. Warm the oil over medium-high heat, and saute/brown the chicken for about 20 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside. Add the onion to the hot oil in the pan, and cook until soft and golden. Add the garlic and the tomatoes, and cook for 10 minutes, making sure you scrape up all the bits from the bottom of the pa

FRENCH COCONUT PIE . . . The easiest pie in the WORLD

This time I baked it in a tart pan, you just need to check it after about 30 minutes because it is thinner and cooks faster. I have always loved pie, and actually enjoy making them even more than I enjoy eating them. I spent some time in my early 20s living in Santa Barbara and working as a nanny/housepacker for Tom and Pat Harding, long time friends and colleagues of the Deetz family. I have no idea where Pat got this recipe, but I do remember cherishing the index card I had the recipe on, and made sure to copy it into the inside pages of more than a few cookbooks so I would not lose it. IT IS TRULY ONE OF THE EASIEST PIES YOU WILL EVER MAKE! Cool completely before cutting What is also great about this pie, is that you can keep all the ingredients on hand long term, so you can have the ingredients on hand and make this on a whim. It fills a small crust, a basic 8" crust. You can make your own, buy a frozen one, a premade one you roll out, or even save some c
