1 tsp. cayenne pepper

1 tsp. onion powder

1/2 tsp. garlic powder

1/2 tsp. black pepper

 

chicken leg quarters– one seasoning recipe is enough for 5 lbs of leg quarters

1-2 C. chopped onion (vidalias are wonderful in this recipe!)

 

In a small bowl, thoroughly combine all the spices.  Defrost leg quarters, and chop between leg and thigh, removing as much skin as desired (we find that the thighs have way too much skin on them, so I cut most of it off, but leave a little skin on them for taste!).  Sprinkle seasoning on each piece, front and back, then place in a pan (I find the glass pans work very nicely). Sprinkle with the chopped onion.  Bake uncovered, at 350 degrees for at least 1 hour. The onions will caramelize and turn very dark- that’s ok, they will taste incredible! (I throw in extra onion because I like them so much this way!)

4 tsp. vegetable or peanut oil

2 tsp. sesame oil

2 tsp. minced garlic

2 tsp. minced ginger

2 tsp. minced green onions

1/2 C. shredded carrots

1/4 C. diced red bell peppers

2 C. thinly sliced Napa cabbage

1/3 C. water

2 tsp. hoisin sauce

1/4 tsp. salt

1/8 tsp. freshly ground white pepper

1 T. diced green onion

1 1/2 tsp. chopped fresh cilantro leaves

Meat Layer:

2 tsp. vegetable oil

1 tsp. sesame oil

1 tsp. minced garlic

1 tsp. minced ginger

1 tsp. minced green onion

1/2 C. ground pork

1/2 lb. 1/2-inch diced shrimp

1 T. hoisin sauce

1 T. plus 1/4 C. soy sauce

2 T. sugar

1 tsp. cornstarch, dissolved in 2 tsp. water

1 T. chopped fresh cilantro leaves

1/4 C. mirin

2 large shrimp, split in 1/2 lengthwise

Whole cilantro leaves, for garnish

 

In a large 1-gallon pot, heat 2 inches of peanut oil to 350 degrees F. Fry the wontons in batches until golden and crispy, about 90 seconds. Remove from the oil and drain on a paper-lined plate. Season with salt and reserve until ready to assemble the lasagnas.  Place a 12-inch sauté pan over medium-high heat and add the oils. Once the oils are hot, add the garlic, ginger, and green onions, and stir with a rubber spatula for 30 seconds, to keep from burning. Add the carrots and peppers to the pan and sauté, while stirring for 2 minutes. Add the cabbage to the pan and continue to cook for 3 minutes. Pour the water into the pan and continue to cook until all of the water is dissolved, about 3 minutes longer. Season the cabbage with the hoisin, salt, and pepper. Garnish with the green onions and cilantro and toss to blend.

Place 1 wonton skin on the base of 4 separate plates. Divide the vegetables among the 4 plates, and top each with another wonton skin. Continue by adding the meat mixture onto the second wonton.  Place a 10-inch sauté pan over a medium-high heat and add the oils. When the oil is hot, add the garlic, ginger, and green onions to the pan. Sauté for 30 seconds, and add the pork. Cook the pork, stirring occasionally, until most of the fat has rendered out and there is very little pink to be seen, about 3 minutes. Add the diced shrimp to the pan and continue to cook, stirring, for another 2 minutes. Add the hoisin, soy sauce, and 1 T. sugar to the pan, and cook, stirring, until the liquid is reduced slightly, about 1 minute. Add the cornstarch slurry to the pan and cook, stirring for 1 minute longer. Sprinkle the fresh cilantro over the pan and toss to blend.  Layer the second wonton skin with the meat mixture and top with the third and final wonton skin. In the same pan that you cooked the pork and shrimp in, add the remainder of the soy sauce (1/4 C.), remaining 1 T. of sugar, the mirin, and the shrimp halves. Place this over a high heat, and cook, until the shrimp are cooked and the liquid has reduced to a glaze, about 3 minutes.  Place a shrimp half on top of each wonton, and garnish with the cilantro. Drizzle the glaze around the lasagna on the plate and serve immediately.

1 can of black olives (sliced)

1/3 cup of Parmesan cheese (optional)

 

Frying

1 Packet of 30 Dumpling/Potsticker Sheets

2 T. of vegetable oil

 

Drain the artichoke hearts and cut them up so they’re not so chunky (into quarters work best). In a non-stick pan add the vegetable oil, artichokes and black olives over medium heat. Fry until the artichoke hearts break apart a little better, about 8-10 minutes. Turn the heat off and add Parmesan cheese and stir around until slightly melted.  Lay your sheet of dumpling dough on a cutting board. I use a tablespoon’s amount of filling, add to the center of the dough sheet. With warm water, wet the edges of the dough sheet and fold into desired dumpling shape.

3 T. extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), plus some for drizzling

4-6 garlic cloves, chopped

1 medium to large onion, finely chopped

1 15oz can petite diced tomatoes

1 28oz can crushed tomatoes

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 quart chicken stock or broth

4 C. chopped or torn stale bread (about 1/2 pound)

1/2 C. grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, to pass at the table

10 fresh basil leaves, torn (optional)

 

Heat a medium soup pot over medium heat. Add the 3 T. EVOO, the garlic and three fourths of the onions. Cook 7-8 minutes, then add the diced and crushed tomatoes and season with salt and pepper. Add the stock and raise the heat to make the soup bubble. Reduce the heat to a simmer and add the bread and beans. Stir the soup as it simmers until it thickens to stew-like consistency. A wooden spoon should be able to stand upright in the pot. Turn off the heat, adjust the seasonings and ladle the soup into shallow bowls. Top with grated cheese, an additional drizzle of EVOO, a spoonful of the remaining finely chopped raw onions, and torn basil. The basil, and only the basil, is optional.

Heart Shaped Faces

Heart Shaped Faces

4oz slightly softened butter

2oz caster sugar

6oz plain flour

Pinch of salt

a few drops of vanilla essence

 

For the icing:

6oz icing sugar sifted

½ T. lemon juice or water

 

For the decoration:

Small tubes red, yellow, green and black writing icing (available in most supermarkets)

Mini colored sugar balls used for cake decoration for the eyes

 

Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4. Beat the butter and sugar together either by hand with a wooden spoon or in an electric mixer at low speed until thoroughly mixed. Sift together the flour and salt and mix this into the butter mixture together with a few drops of vanilla essence to form a fairly stiff dough. If the dough is too dry add a little water. The beauty of this dough is that you don t need to leave it in the fridge to firm up but can use it straight away.  Form the dough into a ball using your hands, then roll out thinly on a floured work surface using a rolling pin dusted with flour. Cut into heart shapes using biscuit cutters. Collect all the trimmings together and roll these out again to make more biscuits. Arrange on greased or lined baking sheets and bake for about 12 to 15 minutes or until the biscuits are lightly golden.  To make the icing, put the icing sugar in a bowl with enough lemon juice or water to make a good spreading consistency. Spread the icing onto the cooled biscuits with a small palette knife. When set decorate each cookie to look like a face using the tubes of writing icing and sugar balls for eyes.

Buffalo Chicken Stromboli

Buffalo Chicken Stromboli

2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon EVOO – Extra Virgin
Olive Oil
3 to 4 stalks of celery, chopped
1 large or 2 medium carrots, peeled and chopped
2 cups chopped cooked chicken, such as rotisserie, leftovers from the night before or cooked chicken breasts
1/2 cup hot sauce, such as Frank’s Red Hot, for extra spicy or1/4 cup tomato sauce or juice mixed with 2 tablespoons hot sauce, for mild
1 pizza dough, defrosted
1 cup Monterey jack cheese
1/2 cup blue cheese crumbles
3 scallions, sliced
1 egg
A sprinkle of sesame seeds or poppy seeds

Preheat oven to 400˚F. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter with the EVOO and cook the celery and carrots until tender, about 3-4  minutes. Add the chicken and hot sauce to the pan  and toss everything  together with some salt and ground black  pepper. Set aside and let cool.

When the filling is cool, roll out the pizza dough into a  rectangle on a floured surface. Spread the cooled filling evenly out onto  the entire dough, making sure not to get too close the any of the edges. Top
with cheeses and scallions. Roll the stromboli, starting at one of the  long sides, tucking in both ends firmly. Press the seam with your fingers to  seal. In a small bowl, whisk the egg with a splash of water then lightly brush it over the stromboli, covering the entire surface. Sprinkle with sesame or poppy seeds, transfer to a baking sheet and bake in the oven until golden brown, about 40 minutes (I would start checking it at about 25, though.  Mine was browned and ready to come out then!).
