We all like to stuff our face so lets share what we like ad how to make it.
Italian Peppers and Eggs Sandwich
Start with three large eggs, and scramble them in a bowl with a splash of milk. Make sure to scramble them well, so they're nice and airy. Set those aside, and place a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
The peppers are really what made the sandwichThey had been cooked slowly at low temperature so they softened up completely and became very sweet. While your pan is warming, chop one large bell pepper into a one-inch dice. What type of pepper you use is up to you. The classic sandwichis a mixture of red and green . Add a half a tablesthingy each of butter and olive oil to the skillet, and toss your peppers in. Add salt and continue to cook over medium heat until the peppers have softened. If you wish, you can add onions with the pepper as well. It's entirely up to you Once the peppers are soft, add another tablesthingy of butter to the skillet and melt. Then toss your scrambled-egg custard into the pan and allow the peppers to spread throughout. The flavor of the rendered peppers will mix throughout the eggs along with the butter and lend them a delicious flavor.
When scrambling eggs, don't scrape them off the bottom of the pan. Your eggs won't turn out fluffy but flat with hard, crusty bits. Instead, cook over medium heat and stir the eggs gently from the center. The heat will distribute evenly, and you'll get nice, fluffy eggs.
Scrambled eggs are done when they are still slightly soft. Carryover heat will continue to cook them afterward, and nothing is worse than dry eggs. (You can also add cheese now if you like, and the heat from the eggs will make it melt.) Place the egg and pepper mixture into a warm piece of Italian bread or a hoagie roll, and serve with plenty of hot sauce if you like.
How to BBQ Ribs so they are falling off the bone tender
The secret of how to barbecue ribs until they are falling of the bone tender is foil. Cook the ribs until they have a nice crust. Wrap in foil with a little apple juice and cook to 200f internal temp. They will be cooked and falling apart tender. If you want to sauce your ribs roll back the foil but leave it under the rack for support, sauce and put back with indirect heat for 15 minutes. BBQ meat needs to be tender, moist and taste great before the sauce is applied BBQ It's about the rub. Great BBQ tastes great without sauce. The sauce is the finishing touch.
Buy pure meat nothing added. Certain percentage of anything added such as brine or salt water is not desirable.
Remove the first membrane on the back side of ribs.
Apply a BBQ spice "Rub" not more than 2 hours before cooking.
Use wood smoke. Be very careful with oak and mesquite they can easily. overpower pork ribs. You only want thin blue smoke coming from your smoker, not thick white smoke. Cherry is our favorite choice for ribs.
Cook the meat with indirect heat, not directly over the charcoal or propane burner.
The meat is done when a toothpick goes throw the meat like it was warm butter. Internal Temperature will be 190°f to 200°f .
Don't sauce until the ribs are cooked, apply one or two coats of sauce in the last 15 to 30 minutes on the cooker. For a sweeter glaze add some honey to you BBQ sauce.
Ingredients Cannoli Shells: 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1 tablesthingy sugar 1/8 teasthingy salt 1/2 cup dry Marsala or other dry red wine 2 beaten egg whites Vegetable oil, for frying Cannoli molds (tubes for shaping shells during frying) Cannoli Filling: 1/2 cup heavy cream 1 pound ricotta 1/2 cup powdered sugar 2 teasthingys nut-flavored liqueur 1/4 cup finely chopped candied fruit 1/2 cup melted semi-sweet chocolate 1/4 cup chopped pistachios Directions Into a bowl sift together the flour, sugar, and salt. With your fingers, work the wine gradually into the dry ingredients to form a stiff dough. Form into a ball, wrap in plastic and let rest at room temperature for 1 hour.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to 1/8-inch thickness. With a cutter, cut out rounds 5-inches in diameter. In batches, as necessary, wrap each round onto a cannoli mold, sealing the edges with egg white.
In a deep saute pan, heat the oil to 350 degrees F.
Fry the cannoli in batches until just golden brown and crisp, about 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels, let cool, then gently slip the molds from the cannolis. (Note: Shells can be made 3 days in advance and kept at room temperature in an airtight container.)
In a mixing bowl whip the cream. Fold in the ricotta with a rubber spatula, working until creamy. Fold in the sugar, nut liqueur, and candied fruit.
Place 1 cannoli shell on a flat surface. Working from either end, fill the cannoli with the ricotta filling (using a pastry bag, if desired), pressing gently to ensure that the middle is filled. Dip both ends in the melted chocolate, then into the pistachios, and place on a waxed paper lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining cannoli, and serve
step 1 Clean and chop Calamari (squid) Pull the head/tentacles away from the body. Scoop any remaining guts out of the body, and remove the thin plasticy quill. Rinse the body inside and out, then slice into approximately 3/4-1 inch thick rings. Squeeze behind the head to extrude the beak, and remove it from the center of the tent…
step 2 Spice mix Combine equal parts flour and the spices of your choice. I chose black pepper and chili powder; you can substitute any flavorings that make you happy. Dried thyme, oregano, and rosemary work well, as do curry, allspice, cajun spice, garlic, citrus zest, or just about any other flavors you like.…
step 3 Coat squid Dredge your Calamari in the flour/spice mix.You can do this piece by piece, or just dump a big scoop into the mix and stir it around. Either way, you'll get the Calamari pieces nicely coated in a thin layer of flour and spices.Note that we're not coating the Calamari in egg or milk first- this is to keep it from drying out…
step 4 Fry Drop the Calamari into a hot pan filled about 1/8-1/4 inch deep with canola, peanut, or other high-heat frying oil. Tongs work very well for handling Calamari in hot grease- just make sure they can stand high temperatures. These will cook FAST- less than a minute on each side. You really want to watch what your doing so not to over cook it.
step 5 Serve Serve your fried calamari hot, as soon as possible.If you haven't overcooked it the squid won't go rubbery, but most all fried food is at its taste peak when it's still warm and crunchy.A bit of lime, fresh herbs, or dipping sauce such as aioli or a citrus vinaigrette can give an extra pop.
