Pork Spare Ribs

Written By: Chris - Apr• 08•15

Spare ribs (also side ribs or spareribs) are a variety of pork ribs or beef ribs, cooked and eaten in various cuisines around the world. They are the most inexpensive cut of pork and beef ribs; and my family loves either type Christmas for free. They are a long cut from the lower portion of the pig or cattle, specifically the belly and breastbone, behind the shoulder. There is a covering of meat on top of the bones as well as between them Download android auto apps. I prefer to cut the spare ribs and cook them roasted individually with a dry rub instead of a sauce.

In optimum weather months ribs prepared on the grill or smoker are terrific, but slow roasting them in the oven produces just as tender and succulent ribs too diploma duo. Go with a zesty spice blend dry rub on your ribs and you’ll swear they came from a backyard BBQ pit. Cook them low and slow and they will be super tender and succulent herunterladen!

Ingredients:

Pork Spare Ribs

Dry Rub:
1/3 Cup Brown Sugar
2 Tablespoons Onion Powder
2 Tablespoons Paprika
1 Tablespoon Chili Powder
1 Tablespoon Garlic granulated
1 Tablespoon Oregano
1 Tablespoon Parsley
1 teaspoon Cayenne
1 teaspoon Cumin
Salt & Pepper, to taste

If you are cooking the ribs for a long time, some say that removing the membrane is unnecessary; but I usually do anyways navcore downloaden. Then cut the ribs and coat them evenly with the dry rub.

If I’m going to slow cook the ribs indoors, I like to first broil them to create a browned, caramelized crunchy coat on the outside animal crossing new horizons designs herunterladen. Put some water in the bottom of the broiling pan and spray the roasting rack well with non stick spray. Position the ribs in a single layer to fill the pan and place them high enough in the center of the oven to broil for a few minutes on each side I can't instagram. Once broiled, lower the heat in the oven to 275° and cover the ribs with foil. Bake in the middle of the oven and rotate the pan from time to time herunterladen. The ribs will steam themselves and sizzle gently as they cook, and they’ll become tender after about two to three hours. You can test for doneness by pulling on the meat with tongs herunterladen. If the meat between the ribs is still tough, keep cooking and checking on them every 15 minutes or so while continuing to rotate the pan.

Serve with or without sauce spiele kostenlos downloaden vollversion legal.

Enjoy!
Cheers!

Chinese Egg Rolls

Written By: Chris - Apr• 06•15

Egg Rolls are one of our favorites! In American Chinese cuisine, an egg roll is a savory dish typically served as an appetizer. It is similar in concept to what is commonly known as Spring roll in Asia but is made with flour dough wrap instead of the rice and is fried or baked resulting in a crispy product download zoom file. Egg rolls are usually stuffed with pork, shrimp, or chicken, (or a combination of all; like mine) adding cabbage, carrots, and other vegetables, and then fried download royalty-free images.

This recipe makes a pretty good sized batch, but that’s no problem since I’ve found that they freeze nicely. Simply freeze leftovers in airtight containers and reheat them in the oven or toaster oven download access database. I prefer them served with a sweet and sour dipping sauce!

Ingredients:

Egg roll Wraps (I used 18 oz download peggo app. Twin Dragon)
1/2 lb Pork, ground
1 Chicken Breast, ground or chopped fine
8 Jumbo Shrimp, cooked and chopped
2 Tablespoons Fresh Ginger, grated fine
2 Garlic Cloves, pressed
1/4 Cup Soy Sauce
1- 2 Tablespoon Sesame Oil
1 Tablespoon Sugar
1 – 2 Tablespoons 5 Spice
Salt & Pepper, to taste
1 (16 ounce) bag shredded cabbage and carrot coleslaw mix ( not quite the whole bag)
2 Green Onions, chopped fine
1 Egg, beaten with a dash of Water
Sunflower Oil (for frying)

Brown chicken and pork with a small amount of oil over medium heat steam downloaden chip.

Continue to turn and add the garlic and the fresh grated ginger, cooking until both meats are no longer pink in the center download moldiv. Drain any access fat.

Season with salt and pepper and mix in the five spice qualified work certificate free of charge. Stir in the cooked shrimp. Remove from heat and set aside.

Bring a pot of water to a boil herunterladen. Add the cabbage mixture into the boiling water; cover and cook for about two minutes and then drain. Allow the excess water from the vegetables because if the filling is too wet, you will end up with soggy egg rolls download whatsapp backup.

Mix salt, sugar, soy sauce and sesame oil and add it to the meat mixture while stirring and combining completely before tossing with the cabbage and green onions download google search history. I love this premium soy sauce. It is less salty and has the best flavor!

Preparing the egg rolls is basically very similar to the method you’d use to wrap a burrito. Just add a thin layer of egg wash to the top to make sure it stays sealed. Start by laying the wraps in front of you so that it looks like a diamond. Place about three or four tablespoons of the filling mixture into the center of egg roll wrapper.

Fold the bottom point up over filling and roll upward as tight as you can. Then fold in both the right and left points and brush top point with a little egg before finishing rolling. Set aside; lining them up on a lightly floured surface and repeat continuing the assembling until you run out of ingredients.

You can use a deep fryer, but I prefer to pan fry. Heat the oil to 325 degrees. You don’t need much; just enough so that you can crisp up the egg rolls. Carefully place a single layer of egg rolls into the oil, and fry them, turning often until all sides are cooked and lightly golden brown.

Be sure to keep turning them; moving on all sides to make sure they fry evenly. I use a tongs to hold the rolls and brown the ends too.

Set aside on paper towels to absorb any access oil. Serve warm with your preferred dipping sauce!

We enjoyed these with a wonderful Huge Bear Sauvignon Blanc! They are delicious with Red wine as well!

Enjoy!
Cheers!

Chicken Alfredo Pizza

Written By: Chris - Mar• 30•15

Bill and I both love pizza, but we just don’t eat it as often as we would like! We do enjoy the chicken Alfredo type from the local take out, but it’s usually soggy with way too much sauce and cheese. I usually end up with a belly ache and it’s not worth it because you can’t even taste the crust! More often we will prepare pizza at home and the key is to use delicious dough download amazon app 10 euro. Making it from scratch is a bit of a process, which for me eliminates spontaneity for dinner most nights. I do love Trader Joe’s Pizza Dough, which they sell for around a dollar and a half for a 16 ounce “bag ‘o dough”. It is offered in the refrigerated section in Regular, Whole Wheat, and Garlic & Herb varieties and are made fresh daily. I like the regular and the garlic herb over the wheat, which can be tough and buy both depending on what flavor profile we’re looking for Download the navigation app. We prefer really thin pizza, so I think that one bag of dough is too big for one single pizza, but believe that it would probably make two nice 12″ or so round pizzas.

Their pizza dough also freezes really well! The morning of, pull it out of the freezer and put it in a bowl or leave it in the bag for a while and let it slowly thaw out ms office 2013 download kostenlos vollversion. Then take it out of the bag and put it in a bowl to let it rise a bit and warm up under plastic or a towel. Use some flour to work it if it is sticky.

We love artichokes too, but the fresh ones are a pain in the neck to clean so I use the artichoke “bottoms” that I recently discovered herunterladen. Artichokes are a perennial thistle belonging to the Cynara family. It has flower buds that develop into edible heads. The edible parts of each head include the base, which is called the heart. That base of the heart is the bottom and is the best part! Look for them and use them because you won’t be disappointed! This pizza was made with ingredients I had on hand, including some left over roasted chicken but you can add any toppings that you prefer download mac os x 10.11.

Ingredients:

4 oz. Brie Cheese, I use St. André
4 oz. Cream Cheese
1/2 Cup Mayonnaise
1/2 Cup Parmesan
1 Garlic Clove, pressed
Dash Hot Sauce
2 boneless chicken breast halves, roasted and shredded
1/2 Onion, sliced and caramelized
15 oz arialmt kostenlos. Artichoke Hearts, drained and sliced
Mushrooms, sauteed
Red Peppers, roasted and sliced
2 oz. Mozzarella Cheese, sliced
2 oz. Italian Cheese Blend, shredded

Salt & Pepper, to taste

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Work the crust with a rolling pin to your preferred thickness and place it on a baking stone that has been sprayed with non stick cooking spray; Bake it for a few minutes on each side; flipping once it is firm enough herunterladen partizip 2.

Drain the artichokes and slice. Notice the additional serving suggestions on the can! Meanwhile, warm the Brie and cream cheese with the garlic, just until soft. Combine with mayo, Parmesan and hot sauce minecraft wiki herunterladen.

I choose St. André Brie, which is known as “the heavenly cheese”. It is a pasteurized cow’s milk cheese, covered with a satiny, edible rind. Soft-ripened, the downy white outer layer offers a complex counterpoint to the wildly rich, buttery and silky center. It is amazing!

Next, spread the par cooked crust with the cream mixture and top with the chicken, and other veggies Minecraft demo for free. Season lightly with salt & pepper. Top with slices of mozzarella and the shredded cheese blend. cheese. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until cheese is melted and crust is golden brown.

This crust was a little thicker than I prefer since I used the entire package, but the herbs within were perfect for the Alfredo pizza deckblatt herunterladen word. Slice and serve.

Enjoy!
Cheers!

Zucchini Bites

Written By: Chris - Mar• 25•15

Zucchinis (Courgette) are one of Bill’s favorite vegetables. We both like them “barely” cooked. They can be available all year round, but they are at their best during late spring and summer seasons german beamng drive for free. In the grocery stores, choose small to medium-sized zucchini that are shiny with bright green skin. They should be firm and sort of heavy in hand adobe sign herunterladen. I think that the best size for zucchini is around six inches in length and about two inches or less in diameter. If they have minor superficial scratches on their surface, it’s ok and they are perfectly fine to eat Download tantra music for free. Try to avoid overly mature, large ones that have pitted skin, as well as those with flabby or a spongy texture. You should also skip the ones with soft and wrinkled ends as they can lack moisture and possibly indicate old stock herunterladen. Choosing the quality ones assure you rich flavor and healthy nutrients. This is a simple side dish, or can be doctored up a bit using ingredients that you have on hand and served also as an appetizer download excel formulare for free!

Ingredients:

2 to 3 Zucchinis, sliced about 1/2 inch
1/2 Cup Flour
1 teaspoon Garlic and/or Onion Powder
1 Large Egg, beaten
1/3 to 1/2 Cup Sunflower Oil, for frying
Salt & Pepper, to taste
Ranch Dressing, for dipping fortnite pc!
I’ve also prepared them with Italian seasoned and/or Panko bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese.

In a shallow bowl, mix the flour (or bread crumbs, if using) with the garlic and onion powder, and some salt and pepper datei mit puttyen.

Scramble eggs and add the zucchini slices, turning and evenly coating avast antivirus free downloaden. Then using a slotted spoon toss and press them into the flour mixture, shaking off the excess.

Set aside the breaded zucchini onto a dish while breading the rest; but do not stack them pages für mac download kostenlos.

Heat a shallow amount of oil in a large skillet over medium heat bewerbungsvorlagen word kostenlos downloaden. Gently pan fry the breaded zucchini in hot oil in batches until golden brown, about two to three minutes.

Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Season with additional salt (and Parmesan, if desired).

We enjoyed these as a side dish, dipped in ranch dressing. They were a great addition to the Porterhouse steak with roasted onions and mushrooms; along with a baked potato and the amazing 2012 Joseph Phelps Cabernet Sauvignon, which was fantastic!

Enjoy!
Cheers!

Onion Stuffed Mushrooms with Potatoes

Written By: Chris - Mar• 23•15

You know I like to use up what I have on hand and re purpose ingredients that I don’t want to see go to waste! When I was hosting the gals recently for our Monday night show, I came up with these stuffed mushrooms fleetboard herunterladen! I love mushrooms. Bill, not so much although I keep slipping them into dishes without him noticing. He has eaten the “filling” to many of my “shrooms” microsoft excel chip kostenlos. He doesn’t care for the texture, but also doesn’t pay much attention that they contain the stem; just all chopped up!

Mushrooms, though classified as vegetables in the food world, are not technically plants herunterladen. They belong to the fungi kingdom and although they are not vegetables, mushrooms provide several important nutrients. Maybe the term “fungi” is what grosses some people out herunterladen. Mushrooms are naturally low in sodium, fat, cholesterol, and calories and have often been referred to as “functional foods.” In addition to providing basic nutrition, they help prevent chronic disease due to the presence of antioxidants and beneficial dietary fibers such as chitin and beta-glucans simpel herunterladen. They also contain choline; an important nutrient found that helps with sleep, muscle movement, learning and memory. I really just eat them because I love the flavor download whatsapp online. Doesn’t matter if they are raw, cooked or stuffed!

Anyways, this was a way to use up some leftovers. You could just use onions and beef stock if you didn’t have left over French Onion Soup, like I did googleen op pc!

Ingredients:

12 or so Mushrooms, Baby Bello’s or White Button
1 Tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 Cup or so French Onion Soup (or sauteed onions and beef stock)
2/3 Cup Mashed Potatoes
1 Cup Gruyère Cheese, shredded
Salt & Pepper, to taste

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees sims 4 testversion kostenlos downloaden.

Start by reducing the onion soup over medium heat until the broth is nearly gone videos aus zdf mediatheken. Clean the mushrooms and remove the stems. Chop the stems and add them, along with the olive oil into the onions.

Cook over medium, to medium high heat until the mushrooms are browned whatsapp auf pc herunterladen. turning frequently.

Combine the leftover mashed potatoes to the onion, mushroom mixture and season with salt and pepper. Turn off heat and mix in about half of the shredded cheese.

Allow to cool slightly and place in a zip lock baggie. Cut the corner to use as a piping bag.

Drizzle a baking dish with about a tablespoon olive oil, or use non stick cooking spray to coat. Squeeze the filling into the mushroom cavities and arrange closely, cavity side up. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the filling in each mushroom. Bake uncovered until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is heated through, about 25 minutes. Serve warm!

Enjoy!
Cheers!
