You could easily add another 1/4 pound of the nuts because there is plenty of the candy mix. When poured it solidifies pretty quick, so don’t be slow to spread it out.

January 21, 20241 yr Popular Post Bunch of randomness since it’s been a while since I posted on here. Sausage and Orzo Soup:Cajun Shrimp and Orzo:Cilantro Chicken:Caprese Salad:Pepperoncini Chicken:Chicken Fricassee:Shrimp Creole Pasta (Had a frozen container of what was supposed to be shrimp creole, but when we warmed it up there weren’t any shrimp. I froze a bunch of leftover sauce after a party where we’d served it and forgot it was shrimpless. Made grilled cheese that night and dipped it in the sauce which was great. Following day made this - pasta, blackened chicken and shrimp creole sauce)Stuffed pork chops:

Good job on this onions, home cooks rarely cook them enough. What was your process on the veggies? Sometimes I’ll put them in the cast iron on the grill, but I had too much going on so I did the peppers and onions on the burner and cast iron. Used the left over marinade plus a splash of soy sauce and let them get cooked down till good and brown. The jalapeños got the same seasoning treatment but went straight on the grill. https://www.isabeleats.com/chiles-toreados/#:~:text=Chiles Toreados%2C or Mexican blistered,topping on and other dishes.

February 4, 20241 yr Popular Post Georgian (Republic of) style lamb (bottom) and pork (top) shashlyk, baba ganoush, tzatziki, charred peppers and squash, quick pickled red onions. Everything made at home. Georgian food is low key a top 10, maybe top 5 world cuisine. I’ve decided baba ganoush is, after guacamole, the best dip.

It’s kind of like a fajita marinade, everyone has their own. Mine has red wine, red wine vinegar, tomato paste, and onion, garlic, thyme, paprika, red pepper (and salt/pepper). Important to grate the onion, it exposes more of it to oxidize. A good fruity dry Georgian red or something like a Zinfandel is good for the marinade, and not too much. Make it gloppy and not too liquid and let it sit all night, too much wine makes the meat weird. I use shoulder for lamb and collar or country style ribs for the pork. The marinade works with lamb, pork, or beef.
