Sorry this was shot with the camera handheld so it may be a little choppy- also these stuffed peppers baked for about 30 minutes. The pork used was left over from a pork loin which I slow roasted- the pork was rubbed with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cyan pepper, brown sugar, salt, pepper and coriander. It was then placed in the oven with some apple juice in the bottom of the pan and slow roasted at 225 for about 6 hours.
I know another cheese Taste Test Tuesday – but what can I say – I love the cheese! My blood work comes back so find out if I am due to drop dead on camera or not!
A long lost grilled pizza video – ok not that long lost just from July. This is a quick and easy sausage ragu topping for the pizza and really comes together nicely. Here is the link for the pizza dough recipe – Click Here
I shot this video several months ago and forgot about it – so here it is. Someone mentioned in this episode is Dale Cruse who is now(sorry this was shot before it started) embarking on having a glass of Champagne every day for a year- Check out his blog DrinksAreOnMe.net and on Twitter @DaleCruse for some entertainment – Yes I know he is not as adorable and charming as I am but hey go give a look anyway!
Here is a quick meal to do with some fresh clams and scallops- this dish comes together in only a few minutes and is perfect in the summer.
So we did the Hirtenkase cheese a little while back and after the episode published, I received word from my buddy Anthony Soriano about the reserve version of this cheese- I was intrigued to say the least and it turns out the reserve version is select cheeses that are then aged longer. Gourmet Library gets this cheese in from time to time so be on the look out for it.
Montepulciano: The City, The Grape… and Home to the Volturi.
I have spent a lot of time staying away from the Chianti-drunk of my youth, discovering new regions, grapes, sparklers, fortified wines, & the values that Italy has to offer. Eventually, the ole Chianti got shuffled to the side like those neon tight spandex bikers shorts worn in the 80’s. Okay, by worn I mean I wore them: wow, I just feel like I finished a 12 step program.
