Pickled Mustard Greens – Garden & Gun Mag

“Imagine my surprise when I saw pickled mustard greens in a dish at a Szechuan restaurant about a decade ago. I’m always looking for cultural, political, and culinary connections between Black and Chinese people (#AfroAsian #BBQBeansprouts), so I was happy to see the pickled greens, given how central mustard greens are to traditional African American cuisine. Incorporate these into your meals as you would other pickled and fermented vegetables.” —Bryant Terry, a Memphis native and music lover who recommends listening to the song “Contronatura” by Stereolab from Dots and Loops while making this recipe. – Bryant Terry

Spiced Chicken with Creamed Spinach and Apples

by jughandle
written by jughandle

This recipe of Spiced Chicken with Creamed Spinach and Apples is an adaptation of a Food Network Recipe. I replaced their Swiss Chard with creamed Spinach. Sure I bumped the calorie count by about 50 pts per serving but the richness of the Creamed Spinach ties the dish together well. You will be surprised at how good the Gala apples taste in this combination. I recommend a medium body white wine or fruity fall craft beer with your meal. – jughandle

Spiced Chicken with Creamed Spinach and Apples

The original recipe https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/food-network-kitchen/spiced-chicken-with-apples-3363966 – Jughandle has changed this comforting dish of pan-seared spiced chicken breasts with roasted Gala apples and red onions. Jug has substituted creamed spinach for their sautéed Swiss chard improving balance.

Houston’s Canadian Cheese Soup Recipe

by jughandle
written by jughandle

Houston’s Canadian Cheese Soup – If you are as old as I am you might remember when Houston’s restaurants came to Atlanta.  They started in Nashville.  My brother worked there for a while and was able to get me the recipe for their amazing cheese soup.  I don’t know if they even serve the soup anymore but it is incredible.

This rich, hearty soup can be a meal in itself with a nice French or Italian bread.  It is my go to comfort food on a cold winter day.

When my brother got the recipe it was 5 gal sized.  I have reduced it to a more manageable size.  Hope you enjoy it as much as I do. – jughandle

Roasted Brussel Sprouts

by jughandle
written by jughandle

 

If you’ve never considered Roasted Brussel Sprouts a go to side dish for Thanksgiving, much less any meal, you are not alone.  Sprouts have been the redheaded stepchild of the vegetable world ever since mothers and grandmothers served boiled, bland sprouts to us as children.

I was lucky early in my palette formative years.  I had a chef friend sauté a pan full of sprouts that made me forget about all the bad ones I had before.

So many ways to cook sprouts, so little time.  I am including below, my favorite and easiest way to cook these delicious bite sized morsels.  You should experiment.  Add flavor, try different pairings.  Eat them while they are still inexpensive.  – jughandle

Author jughandle

Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds brussel sprouts trimmed and halved
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper freshly cracked pepper
  • 1/2 cup Panko Panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 1 clove garlic optional - minced
  • 4 strips bacon crispy with oil, optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Wash and trim the brussel sprouts removing the dry outer leaf. Slice the ones that are larger than bite size in half. Place in a large bowl and store in a bowl with a lid in the fridge until needed.
  • Prior to cooking, drizzle olive oil and melted butter over prepped sprouts. Add the salt, and pepper. Toss to coat in the oil/butter. Add in the Panko and 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese. Toss again to ensure the panko and parmesan coats all the sprouts.
  • In a large cast iron frying pan fry your bacon until crispy. Drain the bacon on a paper towel and retain the grease in the pan.
  • Transfer the prepped sprouts to a large cast iron frying pan and saute in the bacon grease and olive oil coating until the sprouts start to get a brown edge. Place your pan with the sprouts into your preheated oven and roast for 10 to 12 minutes to heat the sprouts through and fork tender
  • The Parmesan cheese should be melted and the bread crumbs crispy. Remove from the oven and sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese on the hot brussel sprouts.
  • Transfer to a serving bowl and scrape up any crispy parts still in the pan to also add to the serving bowl. Crumble the crispy bacon over the dish if you are using bacon, Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.

Notes

If time is going to be short on the day of your meal, prepare the brussel sprouts up to a day in advance by washing, trimming and cutting them in half ahead of time. When you choose to do this, make sure to store the uncooked sprouts in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days before cooking them.

Bread Substitute, Try Tortillas

If you are looking for a bread substitute for sandwiches and the like, try tortillas.  Wheat tortillas have a glycemic Index value of 30 and are excellent for wraps and toasting.

Or, better yet, make your own –

Spaghetti with Egg and Pangritata (Toasted Breadcrumbs) Recipe

written by jughandle

This Spaghetti with Egg and Pangritata recipe is borrowed from the Circle B Kitchen and is a great example of a filling, delicious meal made inexpensively.  Please check it out and follow Circle B Kitchen’s blog, it’s great! – Jug

Spaghetti with Egg and Pangritata

I found this recipe on the Food52 website and have switched up a couple of ingredients and adapted it for a whole pound of pasta. 
I've made this several times now, and each time I get better at timing when to add the pasta to the skillet. 
I love the flavors and the crunch of the pangritata topping, which is also great on fish and veggies.  
Serves 6 but you can use the recipe adjustment function to increase or decrease the servings.

Author Recipe adapted from Food52

Ingredients

For The Pangritata (Toasted Seasoned Breadcrumbs):

  • 1/2 cup (216 g) olive oil extra virgin
  • 1 1/3 cup (144 g) breadcrumbs Panko or course homemade
  • 1 ½ Tbsp (1.5 Tbsp) rosemary minced fresh rosemary
  • 1 tsp (1 tsp) Lemon zest zest of two lemons

For The Spaghetti And Eggs:

  • 1 lb (453.59 g) spaghetti Thin or Angel hair
  • 1 Tbsp (1 Tbsp) olive oil EVOO
  • 1 Tbsp (1 Tbsp) butter unsalted is best
  • 4 cloves (4 cloves) garlic minced
  • 6 raw (6 raw) eggs large
  • 1/3 cup (20 g) Flat Leaf Parsley Italian parsley Chopped
  • 1 tsp (1 tsp) Red Pepper crushed
  • Black Pepper Freshly ground to taste
  • 1/2 cup (100 g) Pecorino Romano cheese grated

Instructions

Method For Pangritata (bread crumbs):

  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add the breadcrumbs and sauté until golden and crispy, about 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Add the rosemary, and immediately remove from heat and allow to cool.
  • Mix in lemon zest and set aside.

Method For The Spaghetti And Eggs:

  • Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil and cook pasta to al dente according to directions on box. (I usually undercook the pasta by about a minute.)
  • Wipe out the skillet from the pangritata, add olive oil and butter.  Melt together over medium heat.
  • Add the garlic and crushed red pepper and immediately break the eggs into the skillet.
  • If need be, lower the heat a bit. You want the garlic to cook without burning and the egg whites to set, but the yolks to remain runny. *Note - you can accomplish the same thing by separating the egg whites and yolks.  Add the whites in first and the yolks later.
  • Drain the pasta well, reserving 1 c of the cooking liquid.
  • Add pasta back to the pot,
  • pour the eggs and all the fat from the skillet over the pasta.
  • add the parsley and toss well, breaking up the eggs as you do.
  • If you prefer a wetter dish, you can add in some of the reserved cooking liquid.
  • Plate the pasta and eggs, season well with freshly ground black pepper,
  • sprinkle with the grated cheese and then top with the pangritata.

Vietnamese Pho Bo Soup

by jughandle
written by jughandle

aka Beef Noodle Soup

Vietnamese Pho Bo Soup is Beef Noodle Soup with a twist.  This is a classic dish that is easy to prepare and is warming on a cold winter night. – jughandle

The Origins of Pho

Pho was born in Northern Vietnam during the mid-1880s. The dish was heavily influenced by both Chinese and French cooking. Rice noodle and spices were imported from China; the French popularized the eating of red meat. In fact, it is believed that “pho” is derived from “pot au feu” a French soup. Vietnamese cooks blended the Chinese, French and native influences to make a dish that is uniquely Vietnamese.

Authentic Pho Bo Soup

This authentic pho isn't quick, but it is delicious. The key is in the broth, which gets simmered for at least 6 hours.

Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 1/2 pounds bones assorted soup bones
  • 2 carrots chopped, medium size
  • 2 stalks celery chopped, medium size
  • 1 onion cut in half with the skin left on
  • 2 cloves garlic skin left on
  • 1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp whole black peppercorns
  • 1 tsp oregano dried, or 2 tsp fresh
  • 1 tsp thyme dried, or 2 tsp fresh
  • 1/2 tsp sage dried
  • 8 cups of water enough water to come to 1-inch below MAX fill line

Instructions

  • Place the bones in the Instant Pot, filling it about half full with bones.
  • Add in the vegetables, herbs, apple cider vinegar, peppercorns and salt.
  • Fill the Instant Pot with water to 1-inch below the MAX fill line.
  • Make sure your sealing ring is in place on the lid. Lock the lid onto the Instant Pot and set the steam release knob to the "sealing" position.
  • Press the "manual" button and set your Instant Pot for high pressure for 120 minutes. (I find it easier to decrease the time because the timer resets at 120 after you decrease to zero.)
  • It will take about 15-30 minutes for the Instant Pot to come to full pressure, then the display will show a countdown timer.
  • Once the two hours is up, allow the pressure to release naturally. It will take about 15-30 minutes, then the float valve will drop.
  • Strain the broth through cheesecloth or a strainer and cool.
  • A good broth will usually have a layer of fat on the top, and will gelatinize when thoroughly cool.
  • Remove the fat with a spoon and discard.

Notes

RECIPE NOTES
Your Instant Pot bone broth will keep fresh in the refrigerator for up to five days. For longer storage, I like to freeze 1-cup portions for easy use in recipes.
