Found this online because I was looking to do something with beans and greens, because I’ve been trying to eat less meat lately. I whipped it up on a whim and I was shocked by how good it was. It honestly ended up tasting like pepperoni. I was really worried there would be too much… Continue reading Italian Bean Casserole
Red Pesto
Turns out red pesto is green pesto, and then you blend in a shitload of sun dried tomatoes and roasted red peppers. And that’s it. It’s fantastic, on the level of “Why was I wasting time with the green stuff?” Ingredients 3 ounces pine nuts 1 12 ounce jar roasted red peppers, drained 12 sun… Continue reading Red Pesto
Utica Greens
I’m not even entirely sure where I heard of this, but I’m glad I did. It’s a great side dish; you mix up bitter greens with parmesan, proscuitto, and hot peppers; most of the cooking takes place on the stove, but you end up popping it in the oven right at the end, so a… Continue reading Utica Greens
Eamon’s Marinade
I don’t know what else to call it, this is just how my friend Eamon marinades his flank steak and I fucking love it, so I decided to migrate it over here from my email. It’s pretty straightforward, but it’s just tastes great. Ingredients 1 cup oil 1/2 cup white vinegar 1 tsp pepper 1… Continue reading Eamon’s Marinade
Chili Oil
This is another of those things where I make an ingredient for a thing instead of a thing itself. This is chili oil, it’s a common ingredient in Chinese cooking, especially Szechuan cuisine. You can absolutely buy it in the store, but I thought this tasted better and it took all of 10 minutes to… Continue reading Chili Oil
Gin
Okay, so…this is a weird gin. I’m going to come back and tinker with the recipe a bit as time goes on, but this is how I made it. There’s a LOT going on here. Also, tonic really opens it up. It’s amazing with fevertree elderflower tonic and a splash of lime. Also, it doesn’t… Continue reading Gin
Dry Rub #2
USE THIS ON RIBS. You can use it on other stuff if you want, but USE THIS ON RIBS. Holy shit. It’s well balanced and has a bit of heat but not too much, and it’s a little tangy…the only thing I might add is sumac for more tartness, but I could go either way… Continue reading Dry Rub #2
Andouille Sausage
I’d never tried andouille sausage before, but now that I have a fancy smoker, I figured I could take a crack at smoked sausage, and I thought that I might as well start with the best sausage. This is a little modified from how I made it, but it should be even better; and the… Continue reading Andouille Sausage
Vegetarian Feijoada
Okay, here’s the thing: this is a vegetarian take on a traditional Brazillian dish that, as far as I know, has no traditional vegetarian equivalent. Most recipes start with assembling most of the parts of the pig and then adding beans for color. This one is just beans and aromatics and I’m a little fuzzy… Continue reading Vegetarian Feijoada
Coleslaw
Okay, this is really me just straight up stealing the one from Serious Eats, but I wanted it here so I could refer to it more easily. I did make some adjustments, but not very many. It’s just great fucking coleslaw. Ingredients For the salad: 1/2 head green cabbage, finely shredded 1 red onion, finely… Continue reading Coleslaw
