Breakfast

Matzo Brie Two Ways

On the Menu this Morning – Mazto Brie!

What is Matzo Brie / Matzah Brie? In short, it’s literally fried matzo. A breakfast dish served during Passover. I like it so much, it’s a regular breakfast in my house. You can read all about Matzo/Matzah here.

Traditionally, the matzo is moistened a bit with water, then fried in butter to get it toasty, then you add scrambled eggs. I should also mention there are two traditional ways to make it, sweet or savory. I’ve always had the savory, seasoned with salt. The sweet version is seasoned with sugar. Once cooked, serve it with some sour cream, apple sauce. This is where I put my spin on it.

Deciding to try something a little different, my first deviation was serving with salsa. YUM! Then, I decided to add some onions to the pan before the matzo goes in. I’ll let the onions get a little toasty first, then continue with the traditional method. This is now my go-to. Today, I decided to change it up a little more. In addition to the onions, I added some jalapeno to give it a little heat.

The second version. In addition to the Jalapeno, I also added some chopped ham. Think of it as a Spicy Matzo Brie Smothered and Chunked for you Waffle House fans. SO GOOD! If you really wanted to go nuts, you could go Smothered, Covered, and Chunked! I don’t know if would still be matzo brie at this point, but it sounds delicious.

So, the next time you can’t decide what to make for breakfast, I hope you’ll try one of my Matzo Brie versions.

Classic Chicken Pot Pie

On the menu tonight, Chicken Pot Pie!

This is, hands down, my best version of Chicken Pot Pie. Many versions I’ve see and eaten use only chicken breast. My version uses a combination of chicken breast and thighs. I also took a big shortcut by using rotisserie chicken. As soon as I got it home, I took the chicken off the bone and then cubed it. I took another shortcut with the crust, I used the prepared version in the refrigerator aisle. Taking these two shortcuts makes the dish come together MUCH quicker. Quicker means you are more likely to make it.

There are quite a few spices, not too much though, in this version and I think they are what makes it so darn tasty. I hope the next time you are trying to figure out what to make for dinner, that you try this version of Chicken Pot Pie.

Coconut Curry Chicken Soup

On the Menu Tonight – Coconut Curry Chicken Soup!

Today was definitely a soup kind of day, cloudy, chilly, and gloomy. To warm up, I decided to make this Thai inspired chicken soup. I made a similar coconut chicken soup a while back, but it didn’t have curry in it. This soup has three types of curry, red, yellow, and green. It sounds like it would be spicy, but it wasn’t hot at all – despite the red pepper flakes I added. If you wanted to spice it up, you could add some jalapeno, and / or some Thai chilies.

While this soup was great as I made it, you could also serve it over rice or noodles. I hope the next time you want to make a pot of soup, you will try my Coconut Curry Chicken Soup!

Sunday Pot Roast with Gravy

On the Menu Tonight – Sunday Pot Roast with Gravy!

It’s getting cooler outside and that put me in the mood for pot roast. This recipe has a few extra ingredients than my usual pot roast, including cognac and leeks.

To get started on the meal, I prepped all the ingredients. I chopped the carrots, onions, and garlic, as well as sliced the leeks and soaked them in water to get the dirt out. Once everything was in place, I got started.

I seasoned the meat with salt, pepper, and then sprinkled with flour on all sides. Then, I seared the meat on all sides and took it out of the Dutch oven and set aside while I started on the veggies.

With all the veggies chopped and prepped, I simply put those in the pot and cooked them for a bit until they were tender. Then, I added in the cognac, wine, chicken broth, and tomatoes. Once that was brought to a boil, I put it in the oven to cook. At this point, let it go for 90 minutes. When the timer goes off, lower the temperature to 225 degrees and reset the timer for another hour.

When the hour is up, take the pot roast out of the dutch oven and make the gravy. Take about half the liquid and veggies from the pot and put in a blender or food processor. Blitz it until smooth, then add back to the pot. Stir to combine and bring it back to a boil on the stove top. If it isn’t thick enough add a butter/flour paste – about two tablespoons, stir it in and let the sauce thicken. I didn’t need to add it this time.

When the sauce is the desired thickness, you are ready to serve. By this time, the meat has rested at least 5 minutes. Slice it and spoon over that lovely sauce you just made.

This dish is SO comforting and filling. I hope you will try this Sunday Pot Roast and let me know how your version turns out.

Boiled Peanuts

On the snacking menu for tonight – Boiled Peanuts!

Boiled peanuts are definitely one of those things that get really mixed results when you mention them. “What are boiled peanuts?” “That sounds gross…” “Yum! If you are from the South, you’ve likely had had boiled peanuts. If you are from the South and haven’t had boiled peanuts, please mail your Southern card to… I’m just kidding.

Seriously though, if you are from the South, even if you haven’t tried boiled peanuts, you HAVE seen the roadside stand with the guy sitting next to a half barrel or converted beer keg sitting over a low burning fire filled with boiled peanuts. You buy some, and the guy ladles out your peanuts into a styrofoam cup. I mentioned the ladle. The ladle used to get the peanuts is something to watch out for as your purchase is being prepared. It’s almost always a jerry-rigged device with holes drilled in so the water from the barrel or keg can drain as they get your boiled peanuts.

Oh, definitely strike up a conversation with the person at the stand. For me, half the fun of the drive to wherever it is I’m going is stopping to get some boiled peanuts and chatting with the person at the stand. You may also buy some fresh fruit, produce, and / or BBQ as well before you continue on your way.

If you’ve never tried boiled peanuts, I hope the next time you plan to have people over for a game or the holidays you will make a batch of boiled peanuts for your guests to snack on.

Boiled Peanuts

Ingredients

  • bag of green peanuts
  • Kosher Salt
  • Filtered / Bottled Water (tap water has chlorine and other chemicals that don't taste so great)

Instructions

1

Spread out the peanuts from the bag and remove any rotten or moldy peanuts

2

Fill a crockpot about 3/4 full with peanuts

3

Pour in enough water in to the crockpot that the peanuts begin to float and then pour some more. The water will evaporate, so I fill it as high as I can but still able to close the lid

4

Pour in 4 palm-fulls of Kosher salt and stir it in. If you have never made them before, start with 3 palm-fulls if you are nervous they will be too salty

5

Set the crockpot on high for 4 hrs.

6

Once the 4 hrs are up, lower the temperature to low and let it go another 4 - 5 hrs. At the 4 hour mark, taste a few to see if they are the consistency you want. I like mine with a little bite to them... too mushy and you can't get them out of the shell.

7

Once finished, cut the heat, drain, and transfer to another container.

8

Serve hot

Notes

They are great hot, warm, or even cold. They store well in the fridge a few days, if they last that long. You can add flavorings too. You can add some sliced jalapeno, or hatch chilies, or Old Bay Seasoning. When I've done Old Bay, I'll add two spoonfuls (like a cereal spoon) of the Old Bay at the beginning with the salt

Scalloped Potatoes au Gratin with Smoked Gouda and Cheddar Cheese

On the menu tonight – Scalloped Potatoes au Gratin!

I’ve seen so many pictures of Scalloped Potato dishes that I decided to make it. This isn’t a difficult dish to make, but it looks awesome – especially if you take the time to arrange the potato slices neatly. I didn’t have the time to arrange the slices in any particular shape this time.

The trick to this dish is getting the slices the same thickness. Take the help from your food processor or box grater to get perfectly uniform slices – about 1/8″. From there, all you have to do is add the cream and other ingredients to a large pan and cook the potatoes about 15 -18 minutes. Then, transfer the ingredients to your baking dish and bake. That’s it!

So, the next time you are serving potatoes, consider making them a little fancy and try my Scalloped Potatoes!

Lobster Mac and Cheese with Smoked Gouda

On the menu tonight – Lobster Mac and Cheese!

We’ve all made Mac and Cheese, right? So, this time, I wanted to make it special – like going to an expensive steak house special. So, I used smoked Gouda cheese and lobster as a nod to the lobster mac and cheese I always see when I’m out.

While I used smoked Gouda cheese, you could also use Gruyere or any other cheese you like. I think next time, I may use a mix of Smoked Gouda and Gruyere.

It comes together quickly, so have all your ingredients ready to go before you start cooking. When you start adding liquid to the roux, do it slowly and make sure you work out any lumps as you go. One other tip, take the time to toast the panko in butter. That extra crunch the panko brings is a great tasty texture.

I hope the next time you make mac and cheese, you try my version. It’s SO GOOD!

Oven Roasted Beef Brisket

On the Menu Tonight – Beef Brisket!

I’ve tried a few times, more than a few times, to cook a beautifully tender beef brisket and failed. The main failure was two things. The meat wasn’t tender and it wasn’t juicy.

I tried again today and we’re getting there. The meat wasn’t dry and it was more tender than the last time. Before I go on, there are a few main types of cook on a brisket in my opinion. There’s the oven roasted brisket your grandma did with the Lipton onion soup mix and there’s the competition BBQ pit-master brisket with the smoke ring. Tonight, I was going for the oven roasted version with the dry rub one would use when smoking the brisket. I didn’t do a braising liquid, or veggies – just the meat rubbed down with the BBQ rub. The rub was a simple, paprika, salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder mix.

Similar to what the BBQ folks would do, I patted the meat dry with paper towels and then liberally coated all sides with my rub. I wrapped it in cling wrap and put it in the fridge over night.

For the day of the cook, I took it out of the fridge and let it come to room temperature and pre-heated the oven to 225 degrees. I put the meat in a cast iron braising pot, a Dutch oven will do fine if you don’t have a braising pot, and let it go for three hours. Here’s where the fail happened in the past. Most recipes I’ve read have you take it out around the three hour mark. Whenever I have done that, mine comes out tough. It tastes good, but it’s not that tender cut you are looking for. I cut the heat to 205 degrees and let it go another 1/2 hour.

When the timer goes off, pull it from the oven, but let it rest in the braiser for at least an hour. It will still be cooking, but coming down in temperature slowly. After it has had a chance to rest, slice it and serve with your choice of sides.

I hope the next time you decide to cook a brisket, you will try my version. Let me know how it turns out!

Beef Brisket, Rice and Cheese Burritos

On the menu tonight – Beef Brisket, Rice, and Cheese Burritos!

I made a brisket the other night, and I’m already working on things I can do with it. Steak burritos are awesome, so I decided to make a batch of burritos.

Steak burritos from my local Mexican place are so delicious and were the inspiration for what I made tonight. I tried to keep it pretty simple as far as ingredients, beef, onions, peppers, cheese, and rice. Red bell pepper and jalapeno were the peppers. The burritos were seasoned pretty simply with some ground cumin, salt and pepper. Mexican cheese blend and queso blanco were the cheeses used. I kind of went crazy on the cheese at the store, buying the Mexican blend, Queso blanco, another pre-shredded queso blanco cheese, and a pre-made queso blanco with jalapenos like you get when you order cheese dip.

The pre-shredded queso blanco tasted pretty much like mozzarella and decided I won’t be using that again. I tasted the pre-made queso blanco with jalapenos and while it was pretty good decided not to use it for this application.

The only fussy thing about this dish was folding the burritos. I decided to use measuring cups to make sure that I could roll each one shut consistently. In the end, I was really happy with the way they turned out. I hope the next time you are craving Mexican food, you will try Beef Brisket Burritos!

Dexter-Russell Spatula

I have a few spatulas for various tasks. They market this spatula as a pancake turner. I like it because it isn’t too big and it is made of metal, so I can use it for the grill. The blade is nice and thin so you can easily get under your food to flip or remove from the grill / pan. While the blade is thin it is sturdy.

If you are cooking with cast iron, carbon steel, or the grill, you need a metal spatula so it doesn’t melt.

You need the right tool for the job, it makes the task so much easier and enjoyable. If you are in need of a good quality spatula made in the U.S.A., check out the Dexter-Russel line.
