A Recipe (from my mother! I'm no cook!)
To make Chicken Fricassee
1The food supply must be very low, to the point of desperation, as the need to feed & satisfy a large group cheaply will intensify the flavor.
2Old large chicken legs [2 is even better, if you have 2 in back of freezer] are boiled in salt, water, finely chopped onions until all the meat falls off the bones.
3 Be very sure to pray that this is enough to go around; as there is no substitutes on fricassee desperation day.
4 The onions should be so boiled that they are not detectable when you make your rue [Rue; 2 Tablespoons flour mixed into 2 Tablespoons margarine, then dip 1 cup fricassee water & put it into rue, stirring sothat it makes a thin gravy.]
5 Dump rue into fricassee mixture,...open can of peas & put juice Only in at this time [save peas]
6 Instant potatoes work well with this, but you can make regular mashed potatoes.
7Set the table as nice as you can. The visual effect & aromas will go a long way to make the desperation fricassee special.
Add the peas
call the kids
Pray
Enjoy~
