|
| 17,Make Chiles Rellenos,4,none,5,Stuff the chiles.,
|
| 18,Make Chiles Rellenos,5,none,6,Pin the chiles with the toothpicks.,It doesn't need to be perfect; it's just to keep any stuffing from falling out while you fry them.
|
| 19,Make Chiles Rellenos,6,none,7,Prepare a pan with vegetable oil.,Allow the oil to get hot but keep setting on low.
|
| 20,Make Chiles Rellenos,7,none,8,Coat the chiles with the flour.,Coat the the chile peppers with flour to reduce the water content and to create a dry surface for the egg white batter to adhere to.
|
| 21,Make Chiles Rellenos,8,none,9,Dip the stuffed chiles in the egg batter.,Be sure to allow some of the batter to drain from the freshly dipped chile so that you don't have a puddle of batter in the oil. Less really is more in this case and will result in an evenly cooked chile.
|
| 22,Make Chiles Rellenos,9,none,10,Place the stuffed peppers into the pan.,Allow them to fry. Turn them as the sides turn a light brown color.
|
| 38,Make Kolaches,1,none,2,"Mix the yeast with the milk, butter, eggs, sugar, salt, and flour in a large bowl.","The butter should be softened to room temperature to make this easiest. Pour in the remaining milk, the softened butter, the eggs, the sugar, and salt, as well as the yeast mixture that you created. Then, pour in 1.5 cups of flour and mix everything together thoroughly. If you are choosing to add lemon zest, ground mace, or nutmeg, add that now as well.If you are using instant yeast, you will add that now. After everything is blended, slowly add the remaining flour. You may use exactly four cups, or you may use a little bit more or less. Just make sure that the dough isn’t too sticky or too dry."
|
| 39,Make Kolaches,2,none,3,Knead the dough on a floured surface.,"Lightly coat some space on your countertop or table with flour so that the dough doesn’t stick to it. Work the dough with your fingertips so that it becomes smooth and easy to form. After you’ve done this for about five minutes, roll it into one large ball."
|
| 40,Make Kolaches,3,none,4,Place the dough in an oiled bowl and let rise.,"Spray a bowl with cooking oil, or pour about a tablespoon of oil into the bottom. Place the large ball of dough into the bowl, and roll it in place so that it’s coated with the oil. Then, it’s time to let the dough rise.Cover your bowl, either with a kitchen towel or with cling wrap. Let it rise in your kitchen (or any warm place) for about two to three hours. You can also let it rise overnight in your refrigerator, if that is easier."
|
| 43,Make Kolaches,6,none,7,Cut your dough into rounds.,"Each round should be about 2.5 inches (6.35 cm) across. The easiest way to create these rounds is to use a cookie cutter, but you can also use the rim of a proper-sized glass. Press the cookie cutter or the rim of the glass firmly into the dough, and then peel up the dough around the circle.Roll your excess dough into a ball, and then use your rolling pin to flatten it out onto the floured surface again. Cut out the rounds, and then roll the excess dough up again. Continue doing this until you’ve used all your dough."
|
| 44,Make Kolaches,7,none,8,Place your dough rounds on a baking sheet.,"You can line your baking sheet with parchment paper or grease it to make sure the dough doesn’t stick to it. Once again, cover the dough with a kitchen towel or cling wrap. Set the baking sheet aside and let the dough rise again for about an hour."
|
| 45,Make Kolaches,8,none,9,Make the indentations in the dough.,"Once the dough has risen and each round has doubled in size, it is time to make the indentations in the middle. This step basically makes dough round into a little bowl that will hold the topping as they bake.Use your thumb or a small spoon to press down gently into the center of each round. Make sure that you don’t make the indentations too large – each round should still have about a 0.5 inch (1.27 cm) rim around the perimeter."
|
| 49,Make Kolaches,12,none,13,Explore the dozens of other topping options.,"While a fruit topping is the traditional topping, it is certainly not the only one you can make. Other common variations are poppyseed and cream cheese kolaches. You can even make savory kolaches with different types of breakfast meats. Don’t be afraid to get creative!"
|
| 52,Make Kolaches,15,none,16,Spoon the toppings into the center indentations.,"You only need to put about a spoonful onto each of the rounds. The indentation should be completely filled with topping.If you don’t use all of the topping you created, it can be refrigerated for up to three days or frozen to use again next time you prepare kolaches."
|
| 53,Make Kolaches,16,none,17,Bake your kolaches and serve.,"Put your kolaches in the oven and set the timer for 12 minutes. Keep an eye on the kolaches, though, and take them out when the dough has turned golden brown. Use a spatula to remove your kolaches from the hot baking pan and let them cool on a wire rack or another surface. Serve immediately and enjoy!You can store uneaten kolaches at room temperature for about two days after making them. If you won’t eat them for awhile, you can pop them in the freezer and save them for up to three months."
|
| 74,Make Aguachile,0,none,1,Prepare the shrimp.,"Peel, devein, and wash the shrimp. Let them drain for 5 minutes.;"
|
| 75,Make Aguachile,1,none,2,Marinate them.,Place the shrimp in a bowl and cover them with the juice of 7 limes or 4 lemons.
|
| 79,Make Aguachile,5,none,6,Prepare the cucumbers.,"Slice the cucumbers; season them with salt, pepper, and a bit of lime juice. Put them aside for plating. You can also season the cucumbers with chili powder, depending on how spicy you want to dish to be."
|
| 80,Make Aguachile,6,none,7,Plate the dish.,"Place all of the ingredients on a platter or large plate. First, place a layer of cucumbers on the plate. Then, put the shrimp on top. Cover the shrimp with the sliced onion. Pour the chili mixture over the other ingredients."
|

|
| 85,Make Steak Tartare,2,none,3,Use your hands to mix everything together well.,
|
| 89,Make Steak Tartare,6,none,7,Add the egg yolks.,"This step is optional, but if you want yolks included, here is how to add them: Use the back of a tablespoon to press down on the meat. Make a small indent in the center of the meat. Break the eggs one at a time and place an egg yolk in the indent. Repeat for all the meat."
|
| 90,Make Steak Tartare,7,none,8,Add the garnishes.,"Add some mayonnaise, capers, and onions to each plate. Spread some chopped parsley on the dish."
|
| 91,Make Steak Tartare,8,none,9,Serve.,Serve immediately after making.
|
| 103,Make a Cuban Sandwich,0,none,1,Cut a fresh loaf of Cuban bread lengthwise.,"Cuban bread is long and thin, and turns crisp in the panini press without getting uncomfortably hard. You can find similar bread at a Latin bakery. The next best substitute is a long, soft French or Italian loaf (but nothing as narrow and hard as a baguette), followed by a hoagie roll.Cut it about 7 inches (17.8 cm) long, or to a size that matches your appetite. Leave one long edge of the bread intact for a tidier sandwich.;"
|
| 105,Make a Cuban Sandwich,2,none,3,Spread the yellow mustard.,"Spread about 2 tbsp (30 mL) of regular yellow mustard evenly over both sides of the bread.Almost all recipes include mustard, but you can serve it on the side if you're using extra-flavorful pork. |
| Cover both halves of the bread with mild Swiss cheese.Many traditional recipes use an equal ratio of cheese, ham, and pork, but you can cut the slices thinner if you prefer. |
| Slice two large dill pickles to make eight or ten long, thin slices (or buy them pre-cut into sandwich stuffers). Lay these onto one side of your sandwich. |
| Fold four slices of very thin ham over the pickles. You can use any ham you like, but the most traditional choice is a mild, sweet-cured ham such as York ham, bolo ham, or any honey-cured ham.You can even bake a ham with a home-made honey glaze. |
| Now for the star of the show. Warm several slices of roast pork in a pan over low heat, then add it to the sandwich.For extra flavor, use pork marinated in Cuban mojo sauce, or drizzle on the sauce in the pan. The sauce's main ingredients are garlic and sour orange (or orange, lemon, and lime where sour orange isn't available).You can use pulled pork if you don't have any sliced pork."
|
| 110,Make a Cuban Sandwich,7,none,8,Heat a sandwich press or similar tool.,"Although traditional Cuban sandwiches are made with a grill press called a plancha, most cooks outside of Florida have to make do with one of these options: Sandwich press or panini maker Waffle iron, with the metal plates flipped so their flat sides are inward (if possible) Griddle or frying pan, with a heavy cast iron skillet or foil-wrapped brick to press the sandwich down"
|
| 120,Make Bacon Wrapped Scallops,4,none,5,Wrap the bacon around the scallop.,"Place one end of the strip of bacon on the side of the scallop. Wrap the bacon all the way around the side of the scallop until the ends of the strip of bacon overlap.For crispier bacon, partially cook the bacon before wrapping the scallops. Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Cover a baking sheet in parchment paper and lay the strips of bacon out on the paper. Cook the bacon for 12-15 minutes until it starts to become golden brown. Don't cook it so long that it begins to get crisp and lose its flexibility. |
| Thread a toothpick into the outer, loose end of the bacon strip. Push it into the scallop, then thread the toothpick back out through the overlapped end of the strip of bacon. This will keep the bacon wrapped around the scallop and secured to it so it won’t come apart or slip off.You can also cook up to 5 scallops on one skewer. In this case, use the skewer to secure the bacon to the scallops by pushing the point through the overlapped bacon, into the scallop and out through the other side of the wrapped scallop. Push the scallop down from the pointed end toward the handle of the skewer and repeat the process, stacking the scallops until the skewer is full. |
| In a large bowl, sift together the flours, spices, sugar, salt, and yeast.In a different small bowl, whisk together the butter and hot water to melt the butter. When the butter has melted, whisk in the milk. |
| Crack the egg into a small bowl and whisk it briefly. Add the egg, oil, and butter and milk to the dry ingredients.Use a wooden spoon to mix all the ingredients together. Continue mixing until the ingredients come together to form a smooth dough. If mixing with the spoon becomes difficult, knead the dough with your hands instead. |
| Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and place it somewhere warm to rise for one to two hours.It’s important to cover the dough so that it doesn’t dry out. A good warm place for the dough to rise is an oven that’s turned off, but with the oven light turned on. |
| While the dough is rising for the second time, prepare the syrup. The doughnuts will be fried and then dunked into the syrup right away, so it needs to be ready for when the doughnuts are fried. Combine the sugar, water, and spices in a medium saucepan. Bring it to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent the sugar from burning. When it comes to a boil, lower the heat and continue simmering and stirring until the syrup becomes thick.Lower the heat again and keep the syrup warm over low heat until the doughnuts are ready. |
| Fill a deep fryer or deep frying pan with oil and heat it over medium–high heat. Drop a pea-sized piece of dough into the oil. When it begins to cook and sizzle, you know the oil is ready. Take a piece of dough and stretch it out slightly to get an oval shape. Repeat with every dough piece before frying.Drop a couple oval dough pieces into the oil, but don’t crowd them. Fry the dough until the koeksisters become golden brown, about one to two minutes. |
| |
| When the doughnuts are drenched in syrup, remove them one at a time with the slotted spoon. Allow the excess syrup to drain off over the saucepan. Roll each doughnut in the shredded coconut to coat them completely. Transfer them to a serving plate and enjoy! |
| |
| Take a bunch of leaves in your hands, squeeze them with moderate pressure, and then pick up another bunch and squeeze again. Continue until the leaves become darker and more fragrant. Massaging helps to brake down cell walls and fibers, making the leaves softer. |
| |
| |
| |
| When it preheats, add the chicken, but do not overcrowd the pan. You want to fry the chicken but you don't want to over-steam it."
|
| 251,Make Buttermilk Fried Chicken,3,none,4,Cook chicken pieces until golden brown 2 to 3 minutes each side,
|
| 262,Make Saltimbocca,8,none,9,"Cook 1-2 of the floured cutlets in the pan, prosciutto side down, for three minutes.","When you flip the meat over the prosciutto should be browned and crisp. Do not crowd the pan, as this rapidly decreases the heat and prevents crisping. 1-2 pieces at a time is enough."
|
| 267,Make Saltimbocca,13,none,14,Spoon the sauce over your chicken and serve immediately.,"The dish is perfect right off the stovetop, as it doesn't take long to cook and gets a splash of heat from the fresh sauce. Enjoy with sprinkled parsley, Parmesan, or both.Be sure to remove the toothpicks before serving! Pair with pasta, gnocchi, or fresh bread to complete a simple meal. |
| |
| |
| While your bulgur is soaking, prepare the vegetables by washing and chopping them. Finely chop the parsley, mint, and spring onions. Dice the tomatoes. Set these ingredients aside. Other vegetables, such as broccoli or cucumbers can be used as a substitute or addition to the common tabouli vegetables. Add one cup of additional vegetables to modify the traditional tabouli recipe. |
| |
| Add olive oil, salt, and black pepper to taste.You will need approximately ½ cup olive oil, one teaspoon of salt, and one teaspoon of black pepper. Taste the tabouli as you add each ingredient. |
| Transfer the chilled tabouli to a serving bowl or platter. Tabouli pairs nicely with pita, hummus, or romaine lettuce leaves. |
| Mix the ground turkey, beaten eggs, bread crumbs, and onion sauce mixture in a large bowl. |
| |
| |
| Add the broccoli, garlic, and ginger.While the meat marinates, remove the broccoli florets by making a slight indentation with a knife into the bottom of the broccoli stem and then pulling apart. Do this until you have bite-sized broccoli florets comprising 2 cups. Now crush and mince some garlic cloves to make 2 teaspoons of minced garlic. Finally, grate a ginger root to make 1 teaspoon of ginger. |
| Use as much as you desire, making sure the entire pieces have at least a light dusting. Make sure both sides are seasoned. |
| Dredge the chicken in flour, coating completely.Dredging means coating it, and it should be a nice, even coating of flour. This flour will cook to form a thin, breaded coating around your chicken. |
| In a thick-bottomed pan on medium, heat up 2 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons olive oil.You could use all of one or the other, but this mixture actually has a purpose -- the two work together to keep the temperature of the oil correct while helping each other coat the chicken and, eventually, pasta. Furthermore, the richness of butter is cut by the unique, fresh taste of the olive oil, adding a new depth of flavor. |
| You just want to get the outsides well-browned, but not burnt. If you didn't pound the chicken down, you'll want to turn the heat down a little and cook them slightly longer, flipping twice to ensure the middles of the chicken cook. |
| When they are golden brown, remove from skillet and cover the chicken with tin foil. |
| Keeping the pot on, deglaze the pan with a cup of white wine or lemon broth.Deglazing is when cool liquid hits a hot pan, which loosens up all the flavorful burned bits on the pan's bottom to start a simple pan sauce or gravy. After the wine hits the pan, use a whisk or spatula to scrape up all the bits on the bottom of the pan, mixing them in. Note, however, that you do not have to use white wine if you don't desire: You can also use 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice along with 2/3's cup chicken broth."
|
| 404,Make Chicken Piccata,7,none,8,"If not used above, add the juice of one whole lemon and 1/3 cup chicken broth to the hot wine.","The lemon is the essential flavor in this dish, and you need to add it at some point. You can either add it to the wine as a subtle flavor, or use it to deglaze the pan along with some chicken broth for a more intense kick."
|
| 405,Make Chicken Piccata,8,none,9,Add 2-3 tablespoons of fresh capers to the mixture and stir.,"Let everything cook on medium-low for a few minutes, letting the flavors meld. Now is the time to add salt and pepper as well, seasoning and tasting regularly to ensure it is coming out well."

| Pour the melted butter in slowly, whisking constantly.Add 2 tablespoons of water gradually in drops, once the butter has been completely added. |
| Adjust the seasoning as needed. Once happy with the flavor, add the lemon juice and stir through quickly. |
| Add the kielbasa, onions, and celery.Cook them, stirring occasionally, until the kielbasa browns. This will take about 3 to 5 minutes. |
| Combine all of the ingredients, except for the potatoes, in a large saucepan.Transfer the browned kielbasa, onions, and celery into a large saucepan. Add the shredded cabbage, sliced carrots, bay leaf, and thyme. Pour in the white vinegar, beef broth, and water. Stir to combine.Hold off on the potatoes for now. You can use prepared beef broth or you can make you own using bouillon cubes and hot water. Typically, it is 1 cube per 1 cup (240 milliliters) of water, but check the package to be certain. |
| Bring the soup to a boil over medium to medium-high heat. Immediately reduce the heat to low and bring the soup to a simmer. Cover the pot with a lid, and allow the soup to cook for 1 hour. |
| As the oil heats, you can start cutting the onions, carrots, potatoes, and kielbasa. The paprika and tomatoes will give this soup a slight, reddish color. |
| Cook the onions, carrots, potatoes, and kielbasa until the onions turn soft. |
| Toss in the tomatoes and cabbage. Pour in the beef stock. Add in the parsley, sugar, paprika, and pepper. Give everything a good stir to combine. You can use store bought beef stock, or you can prepare you own using hot water and bouillon cubes. Typically, it is 1 cube of bouillon per 1 cup (240 milliliters) of water, but check the packaging to be sure. |
| Once the vegetables are tender, ladle the soup out into serving bowls. Serve it while it is still hot. |
| you can add in a handful of cornmeal or whole other grain (wheat, multi-grain, oat, corn).. |
| Make a well in the middle of the flour and fill it with some liquid: filtered water, and stir it in gently with a spoon or fork to make a soft ball of dough.You might have to add more liquid as you stir. You put in lard into the mixture as well, about 1/2 cup. |
| When the liquid is incorporated, gently knead the dough to mix in more of the flour in the bowl and even out the texture. |
| Sprinkle flour on a a clean tablecloth or sheet and plop the dough on there and shape it, allowing a dusting of flour to remain, to go on a cookie sheet into the oven. |
| Bake for about 45 minutes at 375 (some put it in at 450 for 5 minutes, then turn down to 350 degrees) or when crust is golden. |
| |
| Keep stirring to prevent burning. It is important to cook the flour taste out of the soufflé sauce, just like an ordinary white sauce as this ensure a lovely smooth soufflé at the table. |
| Once it has cooled to approximately blood temperature, add the egg yolks. The temperature is just warm enough that the sauce is still soft and smooth, but not hot enough to cook the egg yolks. Stir well to ensure the yolks are smoothly blended in. |
| |
| You can use electric beaters on a low setting and the whites should form stiff peaks when you lift the whisk or beater out. If it flops quickly or forms a ribbon trail, keep beating a little longer. |
| If desired,lightly run your finger around the outside edge of the batter without disturbing the crumbs. It's not essential, but can make a nice ""top hat"" style finish."

If you prepared them in individual ramekins, it is 8-10 minutes as a rule. Ideally the soufflé will have a tender, semi-molten centre and with practice you can refine your skills to recognise when the soufflé has reached this stage. If it is too runny, it is a sign your oven is not efficient at retaining heat, or it may have an inaccurate thermostat."

Use the rounded bottom of a ladle to smooth the sauce over the oil in an even layer. Keep the stockpot uncovered during this time. By keeping the stockpot uncovered, you allow more of the liquid to evaporate, thus causing the sauce to thicken. If you cover the stockpot, though, the liquid stays trapped inside, and the sauce will stay thin."

Also add the remaining sugar, unsalted butter, eggs, salt, cinnamon, and half of the flour. Stir until thoroughly combined. You could try mixing the dough with a mixing spoon, but you will have better luck if you use your hands, especially once you add more of the flour and the dough starts to become thicker. If you have a stand mixer with a dough attachment, you could use that instead of using your hands."
|
| 1804,Make Conchas,4,none,5,Knead the dough.,"Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Dust your hands with flour, and knead the dough by hand for 5 to 10 minutes, until it becomes less sticky and forms a smooth, elastic mass. If the dough starts to stick at any point as you knead it, sprinkle more flour onto the counter, your hands, or over the surface of the dough. You do not want to add too much extra flour into the dough, but you do need enough to prevent it from sticking to everything it comes into contact with."
|
| 1807,Make Conchas,7,none,8,Add the vanilla and flour.,"Add the vanilla extract and flour to the contents of the bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on medium-low speed until well-mixed. The resulting dough should somewhat resemble cookie dough. If you want to add a little cinnamon to the topping dough, do so when you add the vanilla and flour."
|
| 1812,Make Conchas,12,none,13,Divide the topping into the same number of pieces.,"Separate the topping dough into 12 or 16 pieces, depending on how many rolls you made with the bread dough. Make sure that half of the pieces are chocolate and half are vanilla. Roll each piece of topping into a ball. Place each ball, one at a time, in between two pieces of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Press down on it with your hands or with a rolling pin to flatten the ball into a circle. Each circle should be large enough to completely cover the top of one roll."
|
| 1813,Make Conchas,13,none,14,Place the topping on the rolls.,"Arrange the flattened circles of topping onto the rolls, one piece of topping per roll. Carefully press down around the edge of the topping dough to secure it into the bread dough. The two doughs do not need to be blended together, but they should stick together securely. To test the strength of the bond, carefully tip the roll upside-down after placing the topping on. The topping should remain on even when upside-down. If it falls off or if a side starts to fall off, press it into the dough a little more firmly and try again."
|
| 1817,Make Conchas,17,none,18,Bake for 15 to 20 minutes.,"Place both baking sheets into the preheated oven, placing them on the middle rack if possible. Allow the rolls to bake until the bread turns a light golden brown color. Work gently as you place the dough in the oven. If you move the rolls around too recklessly, you could partially deflate them. Pay attention to the color of the bread dough and not the color of the topping. Since the topping has been colored with cocoa powder and food coloring, it will be harder to see any browning on it. The golden brown color should be much easier to spot on the bread itself, though."
|
| 1838,Make Bunuelos,0,A,A1,Combine the dry ingredients.,"Place the flour, baking powder, salt, and 1 Tbsp (15 ml) of sugar in a large bowl. Stir until combined.While not strictly necessary, consider sifting the flour once or twice before adding the other ingredients. Doing so removes lumps and introduces air into the mixture, which should create lighter buñuelos.;"
|
| 1844,Make Bunuelos,6,A,A7,Divide the dough into 12 balls.,"After 30 minutes pass, divide the batch of dough into 12 small, evenly sized balls. If the dough starts sticking to your hands, dust your hands with flour before you continue working with it."
|
| 1845,Make Bunuelos,7,A,A8,Flatten the dough.,"Flatten each ball of dough using a rolling pin, inverted bowl, or your hands. Each portion should be flattened until it is very thin and roughly 6 inches (15 cm) in diameter. To use a rolling pin: place the dough on your floured work surface and roll over it until you get an evenly round tortilla. To use an inverted bowl: place a pastry towel over the bowl and spread the ball of dough over it. Use your hands to gently stretch the dough over the sides of the bowl, pulling down on the dough very gently as you work. To use your hands: dust your hands with flour and pat each ball of dough in between them. Gently pat and stretch the dough into a round tortilla."
|
| 1846,Make Bunuelos,8,A,A9,Fry until crispy.,"Place the raw dough into the hot oil. Fry each buñuelo for about 3 minutes, turning once halfway through. When ready, the buñuelos should become puffy, crispy, and golden brown. Note that you should only fry one portion of dough at a time. Add more oil as needed and check the temperature in between batches."
|
| 1903,Clean Trout for Cooking,0,none,1,Insert the tip of your knife into the exit hole.,"Hold the trout by its dorsal edge and turn it over to expose the belly. You’ll find the exit hole near the tail end of the fish just under the lower fins. Point the blade toward the head, then slide it in smoothly.To dress a fish quickly and efficiently, it’s important to use a sharp filleting knife that offers a little flexibility. This will allow you to make more precise cuts.You’ll be exposed to blood, excrement and other bodily tissues while cleaning trout. It's a good idea to wear rubber gloves to protect you from germs.; |
| Run the knife along the length of the fish, stopping just before you reach the head. This cut doesn’t need to be very deep—just apply enough pressure to get through the soft skin on the underbelly without damaging the internal organs.Be extremely careful when handling the knife, as you’ll be cutting in the direction of your opposite hand. Keeping the organs intact while you open the belly will make them easier to remove later on. |
| |
| Push the blade forward until it cuts clean through the tissue of the jaw. There should now be a small flap hanging down beneath the mouth of the trout. You’ll use this opening as a fingerhold to strip away the entrails.If you’re working with a knife that doesn’t offer quite as much dexterity, you can also cut partway through the backbone and remove both the head and intestines at the same time. |
| Turn the trout so that its head is pointed upwards, belly facing you. Insert one finger into the mouth and down through the jaw flap you just opened. Pinch the jawbone between your thumb and forefinger.Watch out for any sharp, pointy teeth you might encounter inside the mouth of the trout. |
| Grip the jawbone firmly with your finger, then pull down as you hold the fish securely with your other hand. The entire lower jaw and abdomen should come free in one piece, taking the intestines with it.Remove the intestines carefully to avoid tearing them or damaging the rest of the fish. Using the jawbone method can save you the trouble of having to dig out the entrails by hand. |
| Spread the belly of the trout open. Inside, you should see a dark red line sitting in the groove behind the backbone. Drag the tip of your finger along this groove to clear out the black gunk inside. You may need to pull the connective tissue free in places where it's more firmly attached.You can also use an old toothbrush or similar utensil to break up the membrane holding the blood line in place.Don’t neglect to remove the blood line. Most fishing experts agree that leaving it in negatively affects the flavor of the cooked fish."
|
| 1911,Clean Trout for Cooking,8,none,9,Rinse out the trout thoroughly.,"Run a stream of cool water into the body cavity to flush away any remaining blood, tissue and other material. Set the trout aside on a layer of folded paper towels to absorb excess water until you’re ready to cook it or put it away.To really sanitize the fish, scrub it inside and out with distilled white vinegar, using a small soft-bristled brush."

|
| 1967,Cook Ham Hocks,21,D,D2,Bring to a boil.,"Heat the contents of the pot on high until the water begins to boil rapidly. Once this happens, reduce the heat to medium or medium-low. Do not cover the pot as you boil or simmer the contents."
|
| 1968,Cook Ham Hocks,22,D,D3,Simmer for 1 to 2 hours.,"Let the contents of the stockpot cook at a steady simmer for an hour or so, just until the meat softens and starts falling off the bone. When the water level starts to drop as the water gets cooked away, add more, keeping the level continuously above the contents of the pot. Remove the bay leaf once the ingredients finish cooking."
|
| 1989,Cook Arepas,0,none,1,Mix the ingredients.,"Place the maize flour and a pinch of salt in a large mixing bowl. Use your fingers or a whisk to thoroughly combine them. Measure warm water and slowly pour it over the flour. Buy maize flour that has been pre-cooked, such as Harina P.A.N., the classic flour used in Venezuela. This flour is gluten and preservative free and comes in both white and yellow. If maize flour isn't available in your area, you can substitute it for fine-ground cornmeal or flour but make sure it is pre-cooked.; |
| Arepas are often eaten plain, or with a simple filling of cheese as a snack. For a heartier snack, make one of these simple arepa fillings: Chicken salad and avocado. Combine chopped chicken meat, mayonnaise, diced onions, and diced celery with salt and pepper to taste. Spread it over one half of the arepa and add a few slices of avocado, then top with the other arepa half. Black beans and salsa. Spread black bean paste or whole black beans on one side of the arepa, and top with spicy salsa. You can also add a few slices of cheese to make the arepa richer. |
| Cut the kohlrabi into very small pieces. Slice the bulbs into 1/4-inch (6.35-mm) thick slices, if not thinner, and chop each slice into even finer minced pieces. For this method, you only need the bulb of the kohlrabi and not the leaves. Use a sharp serrated knife to slice through the thick bulb more easily. A smooth knife is more likely to slip and, therefore, presents itself as more of a danger. |
| Add the minced garlic to the hot oil and stir-fry for about 1 minute, just until it becomes fragrant and lightly toasted. Watch the garlic carefully as you cook it. Garlic can burn easily, and if it burns, it could ruin the taste of the oil. You will need to toss the oil out and start from scratch if this happens. |
| Transfer the minced kohlrabi to the hot oil and garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, until it becomes tender-crisp. Do not let the kohlrabi remain still for too long. If you do so, you may end up causing them to burn. |

| |
| Dust fillets with pepper, salt and garlic powder to taste. |
| |
| Place the flounder on a clean, flat surface. Healthy flounder will be covered with a light film of transparent slime. Rinse the slime off the fish with lightly running cool water.; |
| Insert the tip of the knife under the skin, along the backbone. Slice from the gill to the tail, lifting the side of the fish that is coming loose. Keep lifting the fillet as it pulls away from the bone. Continuing cutting until the fillet is separated from the backbone. The flesh should remain attached at the tail. |
| Slide the knife between the skin and the meat of the fish and gently cut the flesh away from the skin. Hold onto the skin instead of the flesh during this process, as the skin is stronger. |
| |
| Once separated from the bone and the skin, the flounder has been cleaned and is ready for cooking and preparing. Four fillets should be taken from one average flounder. |
| Check on peas occasionally, and add more water if necessary. When peas are cooked, they should be soft enough to penetrate with a fork. |
| This can be bought pre-packaged or prepared from scratch: Obtain one dried coconut and dice it. Place in blender cover with water. Select blend or grate. Repeat until desired texture is reached. Pour into a strainer, over collecting bowl, squeeze excess milk from coconut. Discard coconut. |
| Add salt (optional), escallion, thyme, garden pepper, and ginger-optional. |
| Add rice, and ensure the water is adequate.Stir ingredients together with a fork. When water starts boiling again, reduce heat and cook on a slow fire. When cooked rice should be tender and all water absorbed. If rice is not tender, do not add more water at this stage. Instead, cover over rice with plastic wrap and maintain on very low heat for 10 minutes. |
| Hold the gizzard down firmly, but not enough to change the overall shape. Take your knife and cut the gizzard in half, slicing all the way through until you have two separate pieces. It is best to make just one smooth cut per gizzard. |
| Once you make the incision, you will see a variety of debris inside the gizzard. Rinse out the inside of the gizzard, moving the water stream around in order to clean out all of the debris. It may take you several minutes to complete this process. Keep going until the flesh looks totally clean.This cleaning process is very important because the gizzard is a part of a chicken’s digestive system and can have matter inside that is not safe for human consumption. |
| You can prepare gizzards in a variety of ways, including boiling, baking, frying, or simmering. Experiment with different methods until you find one that you prefer. Many people place the gizzards in brine for at least a few hours before cooking in order to improve the texture. Look for a great brine recipe online and then adapt it to suit your personal tastes. |

| |
| Remove from oil using oven mitts or gloves and check internal temperature, which should be 170 degrees Fahrenheit (76.6 degrees Celsius) at the breast area. |
| |
| Brine, Truss, and Roast a TurkeyBrining involves soaking the turkey in a salt water bath. It makes crispier skin and more flavorful meat. Put cold water in a large container. 2 gallons (7.6 L) is sufficient for most birds, but if your bird is bigger than 18 pounds, you may need more. Add 1 cup of salt per gallon to the container. The size of your turkey doesn't influence the amount of salt used. PLEASE NOTE: unless you want a really salty bird, do not brine a kosher or self-basting turkey. They already contain a lot of sodium. Dunk your turkey into the brine solution and put the container in the refrigerator. Allow the bird to soak in the brine for 4 to 6 hours. The bigger the bird, the longer it should soak. Remove the bird from the brine and rinse it well under cold water. Pat dry with paper towels."
|
| 2300,"Brine, Truss, and Roast a Turkey",3,none,4,Truss (or tie up) your bird.,"If you are going to stuff your turkey, do it just before you truss it. If you would rather cook the stuffing separately, try stuffing the cavity loosely with garlic cloves, fresh thyme, carrots, and celery, after salting and peppering it thoroughly. Tuck the tips of the drumsticks into the skin at the tail to secure and tuck the wing tips behind the back. Thread cotton twine through the eye of a trussing needle and sew up the cavity with a few stitches. Only a few-any more and you run the risk of your bird cooking unevenly."
|
| 2304,Cook Bacon in the Toaster Oven,1,none,2,Place the bacon flat on the baking sheet.,Keep the bacon separated. It should not be touching or overlapping. Lie the bacon flat on the bacon sheet so it cooks completely.Make sure to wash your hands thoroughly after handling raw bacon.
|
| 2307,Cook Bacon in the Toaster Oven,4,none,5,Cook the bacon for 10 to 15 minutes.,"Keep an eye on the bacon while it cooks. It usually takes between 10 to 15 minutes, but thinner bacon may cook quicker. Bacon will curl and crisp slightly just before it's done.For crispier bacon, cook your bacon longer. |
| After your bacon is cooked to your desired crispness, remove it from the toaster oven. Place some paper towels on a plate. Remove your bacon with a spatula and transfer it to the paper towels. These will remove any excess grease. Allow the bacon to cool for a few minutes before eating. |
| If your broiler is in the top part of the oven, move the oven rack about 4 inches away from the broiler element. If the broiler is in a sliding tray under the oven, you won't need to adjust the rack. Turn the broiler on while you salt and pepper both sides of your chuck steak.If you like, you can use any steak seasoning to flavor the chuck steak."
|
| 2318,Cook Chuck Steak,6,B,B2,Broil one side of the steak.,"Place the seasoned steak onto a baking sheet or skillet and place it below the broiler. Depending on the thickness of the steak, broil it for 7 to 9 minutes. If you'd like it on the medium or rare side, cook it closer to 6 or 7 minutes.Depending on the type of broiler you have, you may want to leave your oven door cracked so you can monitor the cooking. |
| Use a sharp fork or kitchen tongs to carefully turn the chuck steak. Place the steak back under the broiler and let it cook for another 5 to 8 minutes, depending on thickness. Check the steak's temperature.If you want a medium-rare steak, remove it from the broiler at 145 degrees F (60 C). For a medium steak, let it cook to 160 degrees F (70 C)."
|
| 2320,Cook Chuck Steak,8,B,B4,Let the steak rest and serve it.,Remove the steak to a cutting board or serving plate. Place aluminum foil over the steak so it forms a tent and let the steak rest for about 5 minutes. This will help the muscle tissue in the steak redistribute the juice so it doesn't all run out when you begin cutting the steak.The steak should cool down about 5 degrees from the time you take it out from the broiler and after it's rested.
|
| 2322,Cook Chuck Steak,10,C,C2,Heat a skillet.,"Place a heavy bottomed skillet (preferably a cast iron skillet) over high heat. Add a few tablespoons of coconut oil, grapeseed oil, or vegetable oil in the pan to heat. You want the pan to get really hot so the steak sizzles immediately and begins to brown. Coconut, grapeseed, and vegetable oils all have high-smoke points so they won't burn as your pan heats up. Avoid pan-frying a steak in butter or olive oil which will burn. |
| Place the steak in your hot oiled skillet and let it cook for 1 to 3 minutes. Carefully turn the steak and sear the other side for another 1 to 3 minutes. The steak should be a dark golden brown color on the sides. It will still be mostly raw inside, but you'll finish the steak in the oven for even cooking. You can turn the steaks frequently while they're searing so they sear evenly and brown faster. |
| Put it on the burner or stove and let it heat to a boil. Stir in the following ingredients, then let it come back to a boil: The juice of 8 lemons, and the lemon peels. 1 pound of crawfish boil seasoning. |
| Crawfish boils are delicious with many kind of vegetables, but the most popular staples are potatoes and corn. Once the pot has come back to a rolling boil, add the following ingredients: 8 onions, peeled and halved 10 pounds of new potatoes (or regular potatoes, chopped into bite-sized chunks) 20 ears of corn, shucked and halved 40 cloves of garlic, peeled |
| Place the crawfish in a crawfish basket, made out of wire with a handle for lowering it into the pot. Crawfish baskets are used so that the crawfish can boil in the top part of the water while the vegetables cook underneath. Let the crawfish boil in the water for 5 minutes. If you have a large strainer that fits over the top of the pot, this can be used as a substitute for the crawfish basket. Crawfish baskets are available online or at stores that sell barbecue equipment. |
| Butter, salt, and additional Cajun seasoning are all great condiments for a crawfish boil. |
| Season the shanks with salt and pepper on all sides. Place them in the hot oil and brown them on all three sides. Brown each side for about 4 minutes, enough to get a good sear on each side. Don't cook the lamb shanks all the way through. Browning them will bring out the deep flavor of the shanks, but longer cooking will bring about the soft, fall-apart texture you want. Make sure the oil is nice and hot before you put the shanks in the pot."
|
| 2408,Cook Lamb Shanks,4,A,A5,"Add the vegetables, peppercorns and wine.","Arrange the vegetables and garlic cloves around the lamb shanks, and drop in the peppercorns. Pour the wine over the entire contents of the pot. Let the red wine come to a boil, and boil it for three minutes. Add the water and reduce the heat to bring everything to a quick simmer. Boiling the wine for three minutes will lower the alcohol content a bit, leaving the deep flavor of the wine behind. With the addition of the water, the shanks and vegetables should be fully submerged in liquid. If they aren't, add a little more water. |
| |
| Add the onion, tomatoes, garlic, and bay leaves. |
| Use cold water. There should be just enough water to cover the beans and vegetables, and the water level should not extend past three-quarters of the stockpot's height. The 4-cup (1-liter) measurement is merely an estimate. If you did not pre-soak the beans, you will need to use twice as much water."

| 2441,Cook Black Eyed Peas,11,none,12,Cover and boil.,"Place the cover over the stockpot and heat the contents of the pot over medium-high to high heat, until the water begins to boil. Cook for 10 minutes. Leave the lid slightly ajar to allow steam to escape slowly. Doing so relieves pressure inside the pot, lessening the odds of the water boiling over and creating a mess."
|
| 2443,Cook Black Eyed Peas,13,none,14,"Add salt and pepper, if desired.","After the beans have finished cooking, remove the stockpot from the heat and add any salt and pepper you want. Stir the beans to thoroughly incorporate the salt and pepper. Roughly 1/4 tsp (1.25 ml) of black pepper should suffice, but you can add more or less depending on how hot you prefer things. If you used salted ham, additional salt may not be necessary. For low-sodium hams, however, you may wish to add 1/4 tsp (1.25 ml) or so."
|
| 2451,Clean Shiitake Mushrooms,3,none,4,Pry off each mushroom’s stem.,"While keeping the stem is a matter of personal preference when preparing many mushrooms, shiitake stems should always be removed. To remove a shiitake stem, tightly pinch it right where it meets the cap. Then slowly pry the stem away from the cap in the opposite direction the stem is leaning.For instance, if you’re holding the mushroom upside down and the stem is leaning towards you, pry the stem away from you. Discard the stems or save them for use in soups and stocks."
|
| 2453,Clean Shiitake Mushrooms,5,none,6,Slice from the top of the cap.,"Depending on how you wish to use your shiitake mushrooms, you may wish to cut them up. Thin slices are recommended. Place a cap right side up on a cutting board and carefully cut it into thin slices.If you’re comfortable doing so, you can stack one shiitake mushroom cap on top of another and slice them simultaneously in order to save time."
|
| 2489,Make Frito Pie,11,C,C3,Brown ground chuck in a large frying pan.,"Add the beef to a hot frying pan and cook until brown. Stir occasionally and break it into even-sized pieces with a wooden spoon. For best results, brown in small batches, so most of the beef can touch the pan surface. This will take a few minutes per batch. Use a nonstick pan, or nonstick cooking spray."
|
| 2490,Make Frito Pie,12,C,C4,Cook the onions until translucent.,"Add the diced onions to the hot pan and cook until translucent, about five minutes."
|
| 2491,Make Frito Pie,13,C,C5,Combine chili ingredients in a large saucepan.,"Combine chili pepper puree, beef, and onions in a large pot. The larger and heavier the pot, the better the meat texture will be.Add the chicken or beef stock, beer, cumin, a grind of pepper, and several pinches of salt. If food has stuck to the frying pan, deglaze it with some of the stock and add it to the chili. Red ale or stout is a good choice.Replace with more stock for a nonalcoholic version; otherwise, about 25% of the alcohol will remain."
|
| 2492,Make Frito Pie,14,C,C6,Simmer until the meat is tender.,"Bring to a boil, then simmer uncovered until the meat is tender and the chili is thick, 45–60 minutes. Stir occasionally. For extra flavor, instead cover with a slightly ajar lid and cook for up to 3 hours."
|
| 2493,Make Frito Pie,15,C,C7,Mix in corn flour paste (optional).,"This makes a thicker, less greasy chili. Add the corn flour to a bowl and spoon in some of the chili broth. Stir until it forms a paste, then pour it into the chili. Stir until thoroughly combined."
|
| 2494,Make Frito Pie,16,C,C8,Adjust spices and serve.,"Taste the chili. Add more salt, pepper, or cumin if desired. Let it sit off the heat to absorb more flavor and cool enough to eat. Serve with Fritos and grated cheese. Squeeze a lime over it for extra flavor. For sweet chili, stir in 1 tbsp (15 mL) brown sugar and 1 tbsp (15 mL) white vinegar, then let simmer another ten minutes."
|
| 2495,Make Frito Pie,17,C,C9,Finished.,
|
| 2531,Grill a Pizza,0,none,1,Heat the grill.,"Your grill needs to be on high heat. One reason to cook a pizza on a grill is that you can get it hotter than you can your oven. Most professional pizza ovens get much hotter than home ovens, resulting in a crispy crust. You can achieve a crispy crust at home by using a very hot grill.Your grill should be about 550, but 600 degrees is better (with the lid closed). Have your grill heating while you finish up with your ingredients.;"
|
| 2542,Grill a Pizza,11,none,12,Close the lid.,"The pizza toppings will cook better with the lid on the grill because it traps the heat and turns it back on the pizza. You'll only need to cook it about another 5 minutes, perhaps a bit less. If it smells like it's burning, you may need to move the pizza over to a cooler part of the grill.Check it after 3 minutes to see if it's done. Sometimes, the pizza will cook faster. |
| When the cheese is melted and the pizza is done, use the tongs or a spatula to pull the pizza off onto a clean, flat surface. A baking pan or cutting board works well. The bottom of the pizza should be fairly stiff now, making it easier to move. |

| |
| Add the sugar, salt, and paprika in the pan. |
| |
| In addition to the cilantro, add 1 green onion and 2 cloves of peeled garlic. Measure and pour 1 tablespoon (14.8 ml) lime juice, 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar, and 1 tablespoon (14.8 ml) jarred jalapenos into the food processors. Sprinkle in a ½ teaspoon kosher salt. |
| |
| There are several great options for different marinade flavors. Try one of the following: Create a middle-eastern marinade with one-half (118ml) cup of yogurt, several tbsp. (30ml) of olive oil, 1 tbsp. fresh chopped mint, a clove of chopped garlic and 1 tsp. (3g) of ginger. Add ¼ to ½ tsp. (0.5 to 1g) of cayenne pepper, cumin and coriander. Mix a tbsp. (15ml) of hoisin sauce, one tbsp. (15ml) of soy sauce, one tbsp. (15ml) of rice wine, a tsp. (5ml) of honey and ¼ tsp. of Chinese five-spice powder. Try a French marinade with one tsp. (5ml) of Dijon mustard, several tbsp. (30 to 45ml) of olive oil and two tbsp. (30ml) of dry vermouth with chopped rosemary, crushed garlic and black pepper. Make a Vietnamese-inspired mixture of crushed garlic with several tbsp. (30ml) of lime juice and (30ml) soy sauce.Try red wine, olive oil and crushed garlic for a simple Italian marinade. |

|
| 2942,Make Chicken Fried Steak,4,none,5,"When the oil is shimmering, put the steaks in and fry them for 3-5 minutes on each side.",Steaks are done when they are golden brown on both sides. Note that thinner steaks will require less time than thicker steaks. Put them in a warm oven for the following steps.
|
| 2944,Make Chicken Fried Steak,6,none,7,"Gradually add milk, salt and pepper to the roux, whisking frequently.","Whisk until the mixture can coat the back of a spoon, about 4 to 7 minutes. Now you have gravy!"
|
| 2967,Make Gnocchi,3,none,4,Mash the potatoes.,"Pass the still hot potatoes through a passatutto (or potato ricer). Or you can grate them. This method is recommended as air gets trapped in the potatoes making for a lighter gnocchi. If you don't have a passatutto handy, you can use a masher instead. |
| Add 2 generous pinches of salt and a pinch of pepper. Crack the egg and stir in quickly before the temperature of the potato cooks it. (The egg is optional, though.) Add 2 handfuls of flour. Mix until fully absorbed. |
| Turn the potato onto a wooden surface and tip the rest of the flour on top. Use your hands to mix it together. After a minute or two it will form into a dough. Knead lightly. When it reaches a pliable consistency, it's ready."
|
| 2972,Make Gnocchi,8,none,9,Tap the gnocchi from the tray into the boiling water.,This method will stop the water from splashing your hands. Give them a little stir and leave to cook.
|

|
| 2986,Make Giblet Gravy,11,none,12,Sprinkle in flour and whisk.,"Once the fat has heated, about two minutes, add in ½ cup (118.2 ml) of flour. Use a whisk to mix the fat and the flour to make a paste. If the paste looks too thin or greasy, add in a few more pinches of flour until the consistency is thick.Keep cooking the mixture, whisking constantly, until it browns, about ten minutes."
|
| 2987,Make Giblet Gravy,12,none,13,Add in broth and the half of the separated drippings.,"Pour in the 4 cups (946.3 ml) of no sodium chicken, turkey or vegetable broth. Then add in half of the drippings that you separated from the fat."

| 3278,Make Fried Okra,0,A,A1,Heat the oil.,"Pour 1 qt (1 L) of vegetable oil into a deep, heavy-bottomed skillet. Set the skillet on the stove and allow the oil to heat to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).A cast-iron skillet or Dutch oven works best, but any skillet with a heavy bottom will suffice. You can also use an electric deep fryer. The oil should be at least 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) deep, if not a little deeper. Do not allow the oil to fill more than half the depth of the pan, however. Heat the oil over a medium-high heat setting, and adjust this setting as needed to maintain the temperature throughout the frying process. Check the temperature continually using a frying or candy thermometer.;"
|
| 3281,Make Fried Okra,3,A,A4,Combine the dry ingredients.,"Sift together the cornmeal, flour, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and garlic powder. Whisk lightly until evenly combined. These seasonings will create a traditional Southern flavor profile, but you can vary them based on personal preference. For instance, you could also add paprika, chili powder, or onion powder."
|
| 3283,Make Fried Okra,5,A,A6,Toss the okra into the dry ingredients.,"Working in half batches, lift the okra out of the egg and allow the excess to drain back into the bowl. Quickly toss the okra into the dry breading mixture, stirring to coat all sides. Working in two batches instead of one will ensure a more even coating. Crowding the bowl, on the other hand, may create pockets of uneven coating."
|
| 3284,Make Fried Okra,6,A,A7,Fry the okra until golden brown.,"Toss the breaded okra into the hot oil and fry the pieces for 3 to 6 minutes, or until the breading turns golden brown. Work in two or more batches while frying the okra. Stir the okra gently to prevent the pieces from sticking together and to ensure that all sides brown. Do not stir too quickly, however, since doing so could cause the breading to break off."
|
| 3285,Make Fried Okra,7,A,A8,Drain and serve.,"Using a slotted spoon, remove the finished okra from the hot oil and transfer the pieces to a plate covered with paper towels. Enjoy the fried okra after letting it drain for 30 to 60 seconds. You can serve deep fried okra with additional salt and hot sauce."
|
| 3307,Pickle Onions,0,none,1,"Halve, peel, and slice the onion.","Red onions go great for this recipe; with their distinctive taste and deep red color, they actually turn pink after a couple days in the refrigerator. You can slice the onions to the thickness you prefer — however thick, they'll still take the pickling solution. Some people prefer to cut the onions in a full moon, which makes them easy to grab with a fork; others prefer them smaller, cut them into half moons. |
| Seal the container and place into refrigerator. The pickled onions will be ready to try in as little as one hour, but are best after at least one day. Store pickled onions in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.Red onions which are pickled will turn slightly pink as they age. |
| Stir, and return to boil. If you are adding optional ingredients, now is the time. (see Tips). |
| If you want a completely chilled sauce, it will take about 2 and 1/2 hours in your refrigerator. |
| Cranberry sauce is usually presented in a small, dainty and beautifully designed dish. Add a small spoon for self-serving. |
| Heat the orange juice over medium heat in a medium-sized saucepan, and stir in the sugar to blend. Stir continuously, working around the edges to make sure all the sugar is dissolved. |
| |
| Place the baking mix, pork sausage, and cheddar cheese in a large mixing bowl. Use your hands to mix the ingredients until evenly combined. Regular or mild pork sausage works well for these, but if desired, you could alter the flavor slightly by using hot sausage or Italian seasoned sausage. If you don't want to mix the ingredients by hand, place them into the bowl of a stand mixer and combine them using the paddle attachment at low speed. Note that the resulting dough will be crumbly, but it should hold together when pressed.;"
|
| 3449,Make Sausage Balls,1,none,2,Roll the dough into balls.,"Use your hands to roll the dough into 1-inch or 1-1/2-inch (2.5-cm or 3.75-cm) balls. Place the balls 1-inch (2.5-cm) apart on a prepared baking sheet or plate. As you grab the dough, squeeze the mixture in between your hands to help press and hold it together. Gently roll each portion in between the palms of your hands until it forms a ball. Alternatively, use a melon-baller or small cookie scoop to portion and shape the dough quicker. You can cook the sausage balls immediately using either the oven or stovetop. Note that you can also cover and store them in the refrigerator for 24 hours or the freezer for up to one month."
|
| 3452,Make Sausage Balls,4,none,5,Add the ground sausage.,"Use your hands to mix the sausage into the other ingredients. Continue mixing until everything seems evenly distributed. Nearly any type of ground sausage will work for this recipe. Use pork sausage for the most traditional flavor or turkey sausage for a healthier alternative. You can stick with mild sausage or use seasoned (hot or Italian) sausage. Mixing the dough with your hands will be the quickest, most thorough method, but if you prefer to keep your hands clean, place the mixture in the bowl of a stand mixer and combine on low speed using the paddle attachment."
|
| 3453,Make Sausage Balls,5,none,6,Work the cheeses into the mixture.,"Add the cream cheese and shredded cheddar cheese to the sausage mixture. Use your hands to thoroughly work both cheeses into the dough. Note that the cream cheese must be softened before you add it to the mixture. Cold cream cheese will be harder to spread. Consider working the cream cheese into the mixture before adding the shredded cheddar. You can add both at the same time, but doing so may make it slightly harder to evenly distribute the cream cheese."
|
| 3459,Make Sausage Balls,11,none,12,Bake until lightly browned.,"Place the sausage balls in the preheated oven and bake until the bottoms are lightly browned. This should take 20 to 30 minutes. The baking mix and reduced-calorie sausage balls will usually take between 20 and 25 minutes, but the scratch sausage balls may take up to 30 minutes. If you're using standard aluminum foil or ungreased parchment paper, use a spatula to turn the sausage balls halfway through the cooking time. Doing so may prevent them from sticking. To cook frozen sausage balls, allow them to thaw in the refrigerator for 12 hours before baking or bake them for an additional 5 to 10 minutes. |
| Hold the marrow very firmly as you do so. Take a tablespoon and carefully take out the marrow watery seeds. They are a bit like cucumber seeds, but be careful not to dig into the marrow vegetable flesh too deeply with the metal spoon, as you need the marrow vegetable flesh to eat. |
| After about 35 mins of the marrow baking, take it out of the oven and fill the 2 marrow halves with the filling of your choosing. |
| Serve with mixed salad and sliced and buttered garlic bread, on a bed of mixed vegetable or spiced cooked rice. |

| This is the starter dough, also called biga. Set this aside for 24 hours at room temperature. |
| Mix together 2 1/4 cups (18 oz.) of flour, 1 tsp. (5ml) of yeast and 2 1/4 tsp. (11.25ml) of salt in a bowl. |
| The dough will be sticky, but do not add flour. Instead put some olive oil on your hands for easier kneading. |
| |
| Use plastic wrap to cover the bowl and set it in a warm place, free from drafts. |
| |
| |
| Use care not to flatten the dough, but gently stretch it to about twice it's size."

Remove the fat from the pot as it rises to the top. Empty the pot, rinse the meat, and then place into a different pot. Smash and bruise the 8 stalks of lemongrass for the the stock. 6-8 stalks should be good; too much will make the stock bitter. You can use a meat tenderizer or simply anything hard enough to smash the stalk.;"
|
| 4085,Make Bun Bo Hue,1,none,2,Add water to the pot and all the ingredients for the broth.,"This includes the cleaned meat, beef ox tail, a couple cloves of garlic, the bruised lemongrass stalks, a knob of ginger, 1 quarter of a pineapple, 1 tbsp of salt, fish sauce, and the fermented shrimp paste. Turn the stove on high. Wait until the broth boils and skim and then dump the fat the rises to the top. Turn the stove down from medium-low and let it simmer for about 3 hours. Make sure the pot is covered so the broth can absorb all the flavor. Remove the meat from the pot. Shred it from the bone and add it back in."
|
| 4087,Make Bun Bo Hue,3,none,4,Make the lemongrass saute.,"In different pan on medium heat, add 2 tbsp of cooking oil and 1 tbsp of annatto seeds. When the color of the seeds have seeped into the oil to make it dark red, remove the seeds. Chop and mince 2 stalks of lemongrass. Add that to the pan. Saute it for about a minute; this releases the fragrance. Add 2 Tbsp of fermented shrimp paste and 1 Tbsp of chili paste to the pan. Saute this mixture until the texture becomes smooth (about 7-10 min). Transfer this mixture into the stock pot. This will give the broth a vibrant red color at the top. You can add more chili paste to make the broth more spicier, if desired."
|
| 4088,Make Bun Bo Hue,4,none,5,Boil the noodles as directed on the package in a different pot.,"Then drain the water, rinse and set the noodles aside when cooked; that way the noodles won't stick. |
| While you wait, you can add noodles to your boil along with the pork loaf. Add the broth and whatever meats you like into your bowl.Add whatever garnish you like afterwards. It's traditionally added after your pour the broth in your bowl."
|
| 4094,Make Fake Bacon Using Coconut,1,none,2,Mix your flavorings together.,"In a small bowl, add the soy sauce, liquid smoke, maple syrup, and paprika. Use a fork or wire whisk to beat the ingredients together. When you're done, you should be left with an even consistency. |
| Place your coconut flakes in a separate bowl. Drizzle the flavoring over them. Toss the bowl gently so the coconut flakes get evenly coated with the flavoring.Choose a bowl that's large enough to leave a lot of headspace at the top after adding your flakes. This way, coconut flakes will not fall out while tossing your flakes."
|
| 4096,Make Fake Bacon Using Coconut,3,none,4,Spread your flakes on the baking tray.,"Make sure to spread the flakes in an even layer. You do not want any of the flakes on top of one another, as this will prevent them from cooking. Once you have an even layer of flakes, your coconut flakes are ready to bake.Make sure to wash your hands before handling the flakes."
|
| 4097,Make Fake Bacon Using Coconut,4,none,5,Bake the flakes for 12 to 14 minutes.,"Remember the oven should be set to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (or 177 degrees Celsius). If you prefer softer bacon, bake the flakes for 12 minutes. If you want crispier bacon, bake them for 14 minutes."
|
| 4098,Make Fake Bacon Using Coconut,5,none,6,Flip the flakes and finish baking them.,"Halfway through the baking process, you should flip the flakes. Watch them closely as they bake for an additional 12 to 14 minutes. When done, they should be just brown and crisp on the edges. Coconut can go from brown to burnt quickly, so be vigilant about checking."
|
| 4099,Make Fake Bacon Using Coconut,6,none,7,Remove the flakes and let them cool.,"After the flakes are golden brown, remove them from the oven. Set them aside to cool for a few minutes. You can use them immediately or store them in your fridge.You can also place them in an airtight container and store them in the fridge for several months."
|
| 4106,Make Calzones,3,none,4,Rest the dough.,"Remove the dough from the bowl and punch it down. Divide it into 8 parts, one part for each calzone you want to make. Set the dough pieces on a tray, cover it with plastic wrap, and let them rest for 10 minutes. If you want to make larger calzones, divide the dough into fewer parts. For more calzones, divide the dough into smaller parts. At this point you can place the dough in the refrigerator and use it at a later time, or go ahead and complete the calzone recipe."
|
| 4114,Make Calzones,11,none,12,Add the filling.,"Spoon filling into the center of each disc of dough. The filling should take up about 1/3 of the dough; don't add so much that it spreads to the edges, as this will prevent the calzones from cooking properly. |
| Lift one side of a dough circle and fold it in half over the filling. Use your fingers or a fork to crimp the dough where the edges meet, so that you now have a half-moon shaped calzone. Repeat with the remaining dough circles. |
| Lay the calzones on a greased baking sheet. Use a fork to poke a hole in the top of each calzone. Brush the calzones with a little olive oil. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the calzones until the tops turn golden brown, about 15 minutes. Remove them from the oven and serve warm. |
| |
| In another large bowl, stir in egg, salt, pepper and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and mix well. |
| |
| |
| Add chicken, small batches at a time, and fry 3 to 4 minutes or until golden crisp. |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| Mix one cup of the flour with the rest of the dry ingredients, including the yeast and rosemary, in the bowl, but reserve about half of the flour. |
| Add 2 tablespoons of the oil, then add the warm water. |
| Gradually add the rest of the flour, continuing to stir. |
| |
| Knead the dough by hand for about ten minutes, working in any remaining flour.If in doubt, knead longer than you think you need to. It is difficult to over-knead by hand. Sprinkle flour on top of the dough as needed to keep your fingers from sticking. Kneaded dough should be springy and smooth when it is ready. See if it bounces back when you poke a finger into it. Also try the earlobe test. Pinch an earlobe-sized piece of dough and see if it feels about like an earlobe. |
| |
| Roll, press, and pull each piece into a flat sheet that will fit on your pizza pan or cookie tray. |

| Place the ground turkey, egg, bread crumbs, parsley, onion powder, salt, and pepper into a large bowl. Use your hands to thoroughly mix the ingredients together. You can customize these meatballs to match your own tastes. Consider using an Italian seasoning blend instead of parsley, or freshly minced onion instead of onion powder. The meat mixture should hold together when gently pressed. |
| Divide the turkey mixture into small portions, rolling each one into 1-inch (2.5-cm) balls. Place the meatballs onto your prepared baking sheet. Use your hands to roll the turkey mixture into meatballs. Alternatively, you can portion out the turkey mixture using a melon baller or small rounded ice cream scoop. After placing the meatballs onto the prepared baking dish, gently press down on each one to flatten the very bottom. Only flatten the bottoms enough to prevent the meatballs from rolling around as you handle the dish. |
| Place a large saucepan on the stove and pour in 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Heat the oil over medium-high and stir in the finely sliced onions and 2.2 pounds (1 kg) of chicken wings. Stir in 2 teaspoons of turmeric, 1 teaspoon of salt, ½ teaspoon of ground black pepper and a generous pinch of saffron threads. Cook the mixture for 10 minutes and stir it occasionally. The chicken should brown slightly.The turmeric and saffron give the chorba its distinctive yellow-gold color. |
| Drain the soaked chickpeas and add them to the saucepan. Stir in 6 1/3 cups (1.5 liters) of water. Bring the chorba to a boil and turn the heat down to medium-low. Put the lid on the pot and simmer the chorba for about 40 minutes.If you're using canned chickpeas, you can just measure out the 1 1/4 cups (300 g) of chickpeas and add them to the saucepan."
|
| 4435,Make Moroccan Chorba,4,A,A5,"Add the grated tomatoes, paste, and potatoes.","Remove the lid and stir in the grated tomatoes, 1 1/2 tablespoons of tomato paste, and the diced potatoes. Stir the chorba and turn the heat up to medium-high. The soup should come back to a boil."
|
| 4436,Make Moroccan Chorba,5,A,A6,Simmer the chorba.,Turn the heat down to medium-low and put the lid back on. Let the chorba bubble gently for 15 minutes. This will help the chickpeas soften more and cook the potatoes a little.
|
| 4437,Make Moroccan Chorba,6,A,A7,Stir in the broken spaghetti and parsley.,Measure out 3.5 ounces (100 g) of spaghetti and break them into 2-inch (5 cm) long pieces. Take the lid off of the saucepan and stir in the dry noodles. Chop 3 tablespoons of fresh parsley and stir it into the chorba. Let the chorba simmer until the noodles are cooked (about 7 to 9 minutes).Serve the chorba with extra chopped parsley and flatbread.

|
| 4448,Make Alfajores,3,none,4,Cut out some cookies.,"Use a cookie cutter to cut out some circles, then place these circles onto a baking sheet that has a baking sheet on it. Re-roll the leftover dough, and continue to cut out circles until you run out of dough."
|
| 4449,Make Alfajores,4,none,5,Place it in the oven.,"Put the cookies into the oven for around 15-20 minutes, until they are golden and brown. You can prepare the Dulce de leche whilst you wait."
|
| 4451,Make Alfajores,6,none,7,Leave the cookies to cool.,This should take around 5 minutes.
|
| 4452,Make Alfajores,7,none,8,Spread on the Dulce de leche.,"Spread some Dulce de leche with a teaspoon onto one cookie, then place another on top. Voila! You've made Alfajores. Continue to make them until you use all the cookies. If you have an odd number, then you can have an open alfajore. |
| Fill a large pan with water and bring it to a boil. Add the fish to the water. After five minutes, remove the cod from the water. If the cod flakes easily when pulled with a fork, it is done. If it does not flake, return it to the boiling water. Save the water to boil the potatoes. |
| Descale, debone, and flake the fish.Place the fish on a cutting board. With a sharp knife, carefully remove the skin and bones from the pieces of cod. Once the visible scales and bones are removed, start flaking, or pulling apart, the cod with a fork. As you flake the fish, remove any bones or scales you come across. Keep the pieces bite sized or larger. |
| This takes effort but is important for the texture. To peel the beans by hand, begin by draining the beans after they have finished soaking. Reserve the water you used to soak the beans in another bowl. Rub the beans vigorously between your hands in small batches. The bean skins should come off. Run water over the beans to wash the skins off if necessary. Drop the beans back into the water and the skins should float to the surface. Individually pick out any beans with the skins still on and peel them. |
| Grind the beans with the chili pepper, onions, salt, and white pepper.You can use a mortar and pestle, blender, or food processor for this step. Grind in batches if your blender, food processor, or mortar is too small to fit all of the beans at once. Add small amounts of water during the grinding process to make sure that the paste sticks together. When you’re done, the paste should have a thick, smooth consistency.Taste the batter once you have finished to make sure the blend of seasonings is to your liking. Add more salt and pepper if necessary, or a few pinches of cayenne pepper if you prefer spicier akara.You can leave the batter overnight if you want to make it lighter and more frothy. This step is optional, however. |
| To determine when the oil is ready, drop a small amount of batter into the pot. If it turns black instantly, the oil is too hot. If it sinks to the bottom of the pot with no reaction, the oil is too cool. If it sizzles but maintains its color, the oil is at an appropriate temperature.You can also use a digital thermometer for this step. If the thermometer reads 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190.5 Celsius), the oil is ready. |
| Fry until golden brown, about 4 minutes total. Flip the balls halfway through. Once they are done, remove them from the pot with a slotted spoon. Put them on a paper towel-lined plate to dry. |
| Once the olives are rinsed, place them in the bowl of a food processor with 2 anchovy fillets that have been rinsed, 1 minced garlic clove, 2 tablespoons (16 g) of capers, 2 to 3 fresh basil leaves, 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of freshly squeezed lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of extra virgin olive oil. Process the mixture to combine the ingredients into a coarse paste.It typically takes 1 to 2 minutes to process the mixture to the right consistency for the tapenade. Make sure to periodically stop the food processor and scrape down the sides to ensure that all of the ingredients are fully incorporated. |
| When you’ve finished mixing the tapenade, scoop it out of the food processor and place it in a bowl. Serve it alongside crackers, baguette toasts, or tortilla chips.Traditional olive tapenade also makes a tasty sandwich spread or topping for grilled meat. |
| Most orzo comes packaged in one-pound boxes, so use half the box. |
| You will want to lightly brown the pasta to give it a nutty flavor. This will take 2-5 minutes, depending on the heat. If it starts getting too dark too fast, take it off the stove. You want it to be toasted—not burnt. |
| |
| |
| Use a slotted spoon to spoon about 5 or 6 raspberries into a serving glass, while draining out the liquor. |
| Mix the yeast, water, and sugar together.If you have not already, heat some water to 110°F (45°C). Pour it into a mixing bowl, then add the yeast and sugar. Give the mixture a stir. |
| Whisk in the eggs, then the sugar, salt, and nutmeg.Add the eggs in first. Give the mixture a brief stir to mix them in, then add in the granulated sugar, salt, and nutmeg. Keep stirring until everything is mixed in and no streaks remain. It is best if you use freshly-ground nutmeg. If you can't get any nutmeg to grind freshly, you can use the store-bought kind."

|
| 4642,Make King's Cake,18,none,19,Bake the cakes for 30 minutes.,"If your oven is small, you will need to bake the cakes on two separate racks. Halfway through the baking, switch the racks that the cakes are on. This way, they will bake evenly."
|
| 4643,Make King's Cake,19,none,20,,
|
| 4645,Make King's Cake,21,none,22,Prepare the icing.,"Pour 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) of warm water into a mixing bowl. Stir in the powdered sugar. Keep stirring until all of the water is absorbed and the powdered sugar turns fluid. The icing should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. If it's too thick or too dry, add another tablespoon (15 milliliters) of water. |
| Use a soup or sauce ladle to scoop up the icing and pour it in a thick, generous layer onto the cake. Avoid getting any icing in the empty middle, however! |
| Sprinkle the cakes with purple, green, and gold sugar.Try to sprinkle the sugar on in even bands of purple, green, and gold. The bands can be as thick or as thin as you'd like. You can use a thick, generous sprinkling of sugar or just a delicate dusting. If you can't find any gold sugar, use yellow instead. |
| Put your rinsed beans back into the bowl/pot and cover them completely with cold water. For every pound (.45 kg) of beans, you should use eight cups of cold water. Then allow the beans to soak for a minimum of eight hours or overnight. When you soak navy beans, enzymes inside the bean are broken down. This will decrease gas. |
| First you'll need to strain your beans from the cold water they've been soaking in. Then put the beans into a pot and cover them with six cups of hot water for every pound (.45 kg) of beans. Turn on your stove and bring the water to a boil and then simmer the beans for 1.5 to 2 hours. You can adjust the time you simmer your beans to adjust the tenderness of your beans. Shorter simmer times will yield firmer beans, longer times will result in more tender beans. While simmering, it's likely a foam will form on the top of your water. Add 1 - 2 tablespoons of butter or olive oil to the water to cut down on foam. Wait until the beans are completely cooked before adding any salt. Adding salt earlier interferes with the re-hydration process and can result in ""tough"" beans."
|
| 4653,Cook Navy Beans,5,none,6,Mix in some pancetta or chopped bacon.,"All you need is a few slices for your dish, though if you're a fan of this kind of meat, you can always add more. If you're not a fan of pancetta or bacon, you could add chopped chicken or sausage. Whatever meat you add, be sure you saute it until it is cooked throughout. Thicker, chunkier pieces of meat will require more time than thin pieces. Continue cooking your ingredients, lowering the heat if necessary, until the onions and bacon are well browned."
|
| 4656,Cook Navy Beans,8,none,9,Add the beans.,"By cooking your beans with your ingredients, the beans will take on the flavor of the dish. This will only take about a minute or so. After a minute has passed, if you want to further tenderize your beans, you should add enough water to cover the beans with at least an inch (2.5 cm) of water.You can add as many or as few beans as you desire to this dish."
|
| 4657,Cook Navy Beans,9,none,10,"Simmer the beans and other ingredients, if necessary.","If your beans are already cooked to your desired tenderness, you might not want to re-simmer the beans with the ingredients for very long. However, for further tenderness, you should first bring your ingredients to a boil. Then lower the heat until the mixture is at a simmer and allow it to simmer until the beans are tender. During this process, you may need to add water to the mixture if you notice it getting too low."
