Brined Pork Chops

Written By: Chris - Mar• 20•13

I was having all the kids over recently for Sunday dinner and was looking for something “different” from the items I had on hand in the freezer. I had recently picked up some nice bone-in pork chops at Costco, so I sent off a text to Nick, learning that chops are one of his favorites! I had also just previewed a segment on Diners Drive-in’s and Dives where pork chops had been prepared and thought that they sounded great! I decided to brine them because brining any meat can add a significant amount of moisture to it before you cook it, making it juicier and more tender! I prepared these chops in the oven because it was really cold outside, but I would recommend grilling them if you can download nltv!

Ingredients:

6 Bone-in Pork Chops
Oil
Lawry’s Season Salt

Brine:
2 Tablespoons Coriander, ground
2 Tablespoons Granulated Garlic
4 small Bay Leafs
1/4 Cup Salt
1/3 Cup Sugar
1 Quart Water
2 Carrots, chopped
1/2 Medium Onions, chopped
2 Ribs Celery, chopped

To make the brine combine all of the ingredients and stir. submerge the pork chops in the brine and refrigerate for at least 18 hours and up to three days modelhuurcontract. I learned this basic technique from Ann Burrell, of Food Network and I’ve found that mixing the ingredients within your storage container works just fine too. Simply stagger the chops in a seal-able dish, cover with water and sprinkle each of the other ingredients on and around them. Cover and shake well. Turn and toss a couple of times throughout the brining process herunterladen.

After the allotted time, let chops and brine to come to room temperature and then remove the chops and discard the brine. Rinse off chops quickly with cold water adobe illustrator cs2 gratis downloaden.

Pat them dry with paper towels and Sprinkle seasoning mix photoshop cc 2019.

Sear chops in cast iron pan quickly on each side and then place them on a baking sheet or pan Download songs android. Or just grill them outside on a hot grill! If cooking indoors, stand them up so the fat edge is in contact with the hot pan to crisp up the fat edge. Bake the chops covered with foil for 10 minutes then turn them over baking uncovered for another 10 minutes until the internal temperature is around 150 degrees. The chops will continue to cook once you have removed them from the oven (or grill) covered with foil. Allow them to rest for five to ten minutes in a warm place before serving. The meat should be cooked medium for very juicy chops mod.

I served them with a nice pork gravy along side of cheesy hash browns and a broccoli salad, but some of my gang prefers barbecue sauce download videos in safari!

Enjoy!

Cheers!

Green Curry Mahi Mahi

Written By: Chris - Mar• 18•13

Bill is a fan of Curry, but I just don’t have a lot of experience with preparing too many dishes with it. I did a little research and learned that Green curry is a variety of curry primarily in Thai cuisine. (I love Thia dishes, and I’ve eaten Green Curry out before, so I was eager to try this too!) The name “green” curry derives from the color of the dish herunterladen. Green curries tend to be as hot as red curries, both being hotter than phanang curries. However, green curries, regardless of heat, have a definite and desired sweetness that is not usually associated with red curries. We had just eaten a course including Lobster and green curry at a wine dinner at Nectar herunterladen.

According to Wikipedia, The main ingredients for the sauce consists of coconut milk, green curry paste, eggplant (aubergine), pea aubergine, sugar, fish sauce, kaffir lime leaves, and Thai basil leaves. It is made by pounding in a bunch of other stuff into a paste and then the paste is briefly fried in split coconut cream, then coconut milk, meat or fish, and vegetables added along with a pinch of palm sugar cannot be downloaded at this time. and then finally, kaffir lime leaves, phrik chi fa (a more chilies that I can not pronounce) and more basil are added just at the end of cooking for fragrance…… Or you can do what I did and just buy a can at the grocery store that has all of that work done for you making preparing a dish like this realistic alexa app download switzerland!

Ingredients:

2 Mahi Mahi Fillets
(I also used a spare Cod fillet that I had on hand – but do not recommend it because the texture is completely different ebook downloaden wie geht das! Skip it!)
1 14 oz. Can Green Curry Sauce
White Rice, prepared
1/2 Onion, chopped1/2 Green Pepper, chopped
1/2 Orange Bell Pepper, chopped
3 Carrots, medium – peeled and chopped
2 Garlic Cloves, pressed

Saute vegetables over medium high heat in a bit of oil beginning with the onions. Once they become translucent, add the garlic and cook for another minute or two. Combine the other vegetables with the onions and cook over high heat tossing frequently just until vegetables are cooked slightly, but still firm. Remove them from the pan and set aside. In the same pan, sear the Mahi Mahi fillets on each side, but don’t over cook the fish. Remove the fillets (it’s ok if it’s still pink in the middle as it will continue to cook in the sauce)

Cube the fish and return both to the pan. Combine with the curry sauce and allow to simmer on low until fish is opaque and cooked through free pdf gratis herunterladen.

Serve over cooked rice. Thai green curry can be made with all kinds of meat windows 1809 manuell herunterladen. However, the more popular ones are made with beef, pork, chicken, and fish. The green curry is usually eaten with rice as part of a wider range of dishes in a meal. I had just picked up some nice (frozen) Mahi Mahi at Costco and wasn’t sure what to expect. I love ordering fish out, but as you know in Minnesota, it’s challenging to get good fresh fish. We were pleasantly surprised at how quick and delicious this meal was free pc games to!

Enjoy!

Cheers!

Shrimp & Lobster Claw Risotto

Written By: Chris - Mar• 15•13

Risotto is one of Italy’s best known culinary classics and for good reason! It is terrific! This famous rice dish comes in many flavors, but the rice and technique remain the same to produce this delicious dish. Risotto is a class of Italian rice dishes cooked in broth to a creamy consistency. Many types of risotto contain butter, wine and onion. We are big fans and change it up based on seasonal ingredients and whatever I happen to have on hand in my fridge, pantry or freezer! In Italy, risotto is often served as a first course, but depending on what you put in it, it can surely be eaten as a main dish horse spiele kostenlos downloaden!

Bill’s been wanting to eat up the remaining lobster claws I’ve had in the freezer that I had picked up at Costco, so I came up with this delicious variety for our dinner the other night.

Cheesy Hash Brown Potatoes

Written By: Chris - Mar• 14•13

The kids were coming over for dinner last Sunday and Nick’s fiance Bri requested “cheesy potatoes”. I have a recipe within a box that I’ve had for years of a potato dish that my mom and oldest sister Shym used to make. (It’s funny when I’m looking through oodles of recipes I’ve written down, how my memory works allowing me to remember just how big or small the size of paper was, and the fact that the paper had a torn lower right corner) Well I found it, but I decided to lighten my version up a bit! I omitted a lot of the fat by using light soup and cheeses. I also wanted to add some creaminess so I added light sour cream wow for free.

I always plan to make enough food so that the kids can bring home left overs. Michelle’s boyfriend Jacob had to work and was unable to come for dinner, so I planned to send some home for him because he is a potato lover! I was also having the girls over the next night so I used about a third of the mixture in a small baking dish that I would share with them. So if you don’t have a big gang to feed, I would recommend cutting this recipe in half!

Ingredients:

2 lbs herunterladen. Hash Brown Potatoes
1 Onion, medium chopped
1 Tablespoon Butter
1 Tablespoon Oil
1 Cup Light Sour Cream
2 cans Cream of Celery Soup (one Healthy Choice, low fat)

2 Cups Cheddar Cheese, grated & divided
2 Cups Reduced Fat Cheddar Cheese, grated & divided
1 Cups Mozzarella Cheese, grated
1 Cups Reduced Fat Mozzarella Cheese, grated
Salt & Pepper to taste

Saute the onions in butter and oil in a skillet over medium high heat until they become translucent. Season with Salt & pepper. Add the cream cheese and stir until all of the cheese is melted microsoft outlook 2013 free full version. Stir in canned soups and mix until blended completely.

Remove from heat and combine mixture with the potatoes and shredded cheese, reserving enough cheddar cheese to use as a topping microsoft ofice herunterladen.

Buffalo Chicken Flat Out Pizza’s

Written By: Chris - Mar• 12•13

I spotted a new “Flat Out” product in the store that I thought looked good. They were called Thin Crust Artisan Pizza, which I thought was interesting because I’ve been making “Flat Out” pizza’s for years. When my daughter Michelle and her boyfriend Jacob were coming over recently for dinner I was wondering how to change up the toppings to include ingredients that they really enjoy. I started looking through the items that I had on hand in my fridge and pantry and since we all love Frank’s Hot Sauce and as the slogan goes “We put that shit on everything” I thought that would be a hit with them. (I really don’t put it on everything, but they do and I think Bill just likes to walk around while I’m cooking saying that!) Well, these turned out delicious, but I have to admit, I think I’ll go back to using the original flat out’s because these seemed dry and even cracked, compared to the success I’ve had using the original or light traditional low fat, high in fiber kind euro truck simulator 2 online kaufen unden.

Ingredients:

6 Flat Out Pizza Crusts
1 Onion, medium chopped
2 Garlic Cloves, pressed
3 Tablespoon Oil, divided
1 Tablespoon Butter
6-8 Chicken Tenderloins
1 8 oz herunterladen. Package Light Cream Cheese
2 oz. Blue Cheese, crumbled
1/2 Cup Franks Hot Sauce
3 Cups Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
2 Cups Fresh Spinach, chopped
4 Celery Sticks, chopped
Salt & Pepper

Start by sauteing the onions and fresh crushed garlic herunterladen.

Once your onions and pressed garlic have cooked, set them aside to cool. Use the same pan to saute your chicken tenderloins, which have been seasoned with salt & pepper electrum herunterladen.

Pre-cook your Flat outs some what by spraying or drizzling each side of the flat out with Olive oil. Bake at 400 for just a few minutes on each side turning half way through to crisp up slightly before topping dofus herunterladen.

For this variety, I creamed the cream cheese and blue cheese together and spread a fourth of the mixture onto each crust. Then top with cooked, chopped chicken and onions and sprinkle with franks sauce before topping with chopped spinach and shredded cheese Download minigames for free.

Bake for about 15 -20 minutes. Turn and/or rotate shelves between the two stones to insure even cooking. Cooking time may vary for your Pizza’s depending on your oven. Let rest for a few minutes before cutting. The edges will be crunchy and the overall pizza should be THIN an CRISPY gps tracks herunterladen!

Top with chopped fresh celery and put as much hot sauce on as you like download from facebook videos!

Enjoy!

Cheers!
