For
tonight's dish we are going to introduce you to a classic bit of
culinary art. It is called a “liaison” - a very rich way to
thicken a sauce. It is very French and slave shows it to you so that
you may feel a bit special about yourself knowing how to do this
simple trick.
This
dish is in honor of a special lady: Jeanne Manford and the
organization she created. Don't miss the short article at end of
recipe.
Ingredients
- 20 oz cheese tortellini, refrigerated
- 12 oz chicken & apple sausages, cut up
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- ½ tsp thyme
- 1 tsp salt + ½ tsp black pepper,
- 10 oz can diced tomatoes, well drained
- 1 can kernel corn, well drained
- 2. C chicken broth
- ½ C heavy cream
- 2 egg yolks, room temperature
Do your cutting: chop the onion and garlic into 2 different bowls. Slice the sausage into 1 inch pieces. Drain the cans of corn and tomatoes well into a colander.
- Brown sausage pieces in a dutch oven, over medium/high heat. If needed, drain excess grease from pan. Return pan with meat back to stove over medium/high heat and add in onions and garlic. Cook, stirring a few minutes until onion starts to soften.
-
- Stir in salt, pepper and thyme.
- Add tortellini to pan, along with tomatoes, corn and broth. Bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to simmer for 5 minutes.
- Make a slurry with 3 Tbs water and 2 Tbs flour to stir into the pot until a sauce develops.
- Remove pan from heat
In
a ceramic bowl mix together egg yolks with cream. Slowly add the
chicken sauce by teaspoon full until new mixture is warmed! Stir this
into cooking pot until incorporated and thick, do not boil!
This
is the “liaison”
It is always the last thing you do. It will thicken the sauce and
make it rich!
This
makes a fantastic dish to serve with pride.

Jeanne Manford
Parenting has always been hard, They have to rely on what had been taught, what the pastor said, what their teachers told told them, even what doctors proclaimed when they were growing up.
When their child tells them “Mom, I'm gay” it is like telling them you are a stranger! Of course they are traumatized! Thankfully now there is a wonderful support group of like minded parents. People who have gone through the same shock and can comfort and guide them to a new and much fuller relationship with their LGBT child.
This is thanks to an elementary school teacher, Jeanne Manford back in April 1972, got a phone call from the hospital saying that her son Morty, had been beaten while distributing pro-gay flyers.
Her reaction made history! Instead of kicking the child out of the house, (an all too often occurrence), Mrs Manford fired off an angry letter of protest to the New York Post! She said she was the mother of a gay protester and complained of police inaction!
Jeanne Manford did not stop there. She gave interviews and became an activist in her own way. She marched with her son in the New York Pride March of 1972, carrying a hand-lettered sign saying "Parents of Gays Unite in Support for Our Children".
She
became energized with the goal of being "a bridge between the
gay community and the heterosexual community".
PFLAG has more than 500 chapters across the United States, with more than 200,000 members and supporters.
As powerful allies, they
offer a unique perspective and drive. They are more than just a
support group, reaching out and educating, teaching and sponsoring
major changes.
All because an elementary
school teacher stood up for her son and changed history.
Beautiful!!!
