  • ½ cup slivered almonds

  • Fill a shallow frying pan with an inch of a high heat oil of your choice. Canola or vegetable would be a good choice here.
  • Place the pan over medium high heat and when the oil begins to shimmer test a shallot. It should begin to fry immediately. If it does add the remaining shallots.

Italian Beef

by flavorslutofficial
written by flavorslutofficial

This Italian beef has been a favorite in my family for years and years. The original recipe, although delicious, is LOADED with gluten, so I’ve adapted this recipe to make it gluten free while still keeping all the flavor of the classic. 

Serve this tender shredded beef piled high in your favorite gluten free roll. I used Schar baguettes and they worked beautifully!

Red Wine Pork Chops

by flavorslutofficial
written by flavorslutofficial

The cornstarch in this recipe is completely optional. If cornstarch isn’t something that you can eat simply reduce the sauce for 5-7 minutes over medium heat and it will thicken right up!

If you want to make the polenta in the picture I totally just buy those ready made tubes of polenta, chop it up, add one cup of chicken stock and warm over low heat stirring occasionally until the polenta is creamy again. Then I stir in a quarter cup of parmesan cheese and voila! Delicious polenta!

  • 4 shallots (thinly sliced)
  • 1 Tbsp fresh thyme (finely chopped)
  • 2 Tbsp fresh rosemary (finely chopped)

  • Pour in the remaining vegetables and marinade and allow to come to a boil. Cover and cook for 5 minutes.
  • If you're using cornstarch mix together 1 Tbsp of cornstarch into the beef broth and pour into the pan together. If not, pour in the beef broth and allow to simmer over medium heat for 5-7 minutes or until the sauce reduces by about half.
  • Add the butter to the sauce and stir in. Taste for seasoning and adjust as desired. Serve hot over creamy polenta or mashed potatoes and a vegetable of your choice!

Slow Cooker Turkey and Gravy

by flavorslutofficial
written by flavorslutofficial

If you have a large slow cooker and love the dark meat (legs and thighs) you could butcher your raw turkey into sections and add the sections to the slow cooker. A whole turkey will be too large for a standard slow cooker.

This recipe also works in an electric roaster set to 300F. If you plan to cook a larger turkey be sure to adjust the gravy ratios accordingly to avoid a dry bird!

  • 2 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 Tbsp dried rosemary
  • 2 tsp rubbed sage
  • 2 tsp dried parsley
  • 2 tsp kosher salt
  • 2 tsp pepper
Instructions:

  • Cover and cook on high for 6 hours or until the internal temperature of the turkey breast has reached 165°F.
  • When the turkey is done remove from the slow cooker, discard the skin, and shred the meat.

Zuppa Toscana (lightened up)

by flavorslutofficial
written by flavorslutofficial

A restaurant favorite lightened up! This recipe is not only delicious, but flexible too!

Feel free to use either pork or turkey Italian sausage. Looking for a lower carb option? Try substituting peeled turnips for the potatoes. Coconut milk not your thing? Use what you’ve got in your fridge! Cow’s milk, oatmilk, and almond milk can all be used but will produce a thinner broth.

ChickenThe Night Before Dinner

Chicken Piccata

by flavorslutofficial
written by flavorslutofficial

Marinating the chicken overnight takes this dish from an average Italian dinner to a fast and savory weeknight favorite taking only 20 minutes! 

If you have an open bottle of white wine feel free to sub one cup of chicken stock for a cup of white wine. I usually serve this over pasta or steamed veggies for an easy complete meal.

Ingredients:
 
  • 4 thinly sliced chicken breast
  • 4 lemons (zest and juice)
  • 4 oz capers in brine
  • 1 shallot (finely chopped)
  • 1 head garlic (finely chopped)
  • 1 bunch parsley leaves (finely chopped)

  • Toss the ingredients together to mix and coat the chicken well and marinate over night.
  • When ready to cook:
  • Heat a skillet over medium high heat and when heated add the entire contents of the bag or container to the pan. Spread the chicken out so they don't overlap in the pan.
  • Cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes on one side. Don't worry about browning the chicken since that isn't where the majority of flavor is coming from in this recipe. (it's dat sauce)
  • Flip the chicken and cover your pan with a lid. Cook for another 5-7 minutes or until the chicken reaches 165°F.
  • When cooked remove the chicken from the pan and reduce your heat to medium. Stir in the butter and flour and continue to stir until they are combined.
  • When combined add 2 cups of chicken stock and quickly whisk scraping up all the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. That's flava' baby!
  • Continue to whisk until the sauce thickens into a gravy. When thickened, squeeze in the juice of the remaining lemon and taste for salt and pepper. Adjust as desired.
  • Add the chicken back to the pan and coat in the sauce. Serve over a side dish of your choice and enjoy!

Deviled Eggs

by flavorslutofficial
written by flavorslutofficial

Everyone has their trick they swear by for peeling perfect hard boiled eggs…and here’s mine! After cooling your eggs in an ice bath for 20 minutes peel your eggs under cool gently running water using the side of your thumb. Using the side of your thumb prevents accidentally gouging the egg whites with your nail, and peeling under running water helps to loosen the shell from the egg to prevent sticking. 

The ice bath is also a must in my book. Every time I’ve tried to peel a warm boiled egg it’s a war zone- shells everywhere, memories of better times….

Just ice your eggs.

Ice bath: 20 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes
Course: Appetizer, Holidays, Side Dish
Cuisine: American
Servings: 24 egg halves

Ingredients:
 
  • 1 dozen eggs
  • ¼ cup mayo
  • 2 Tbsp finely chopped pickles or relish
  • 2 tsp Dijon or yellow mustard
  • 1 tsp franks red hot (or your favorite hot sauce)
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp ground black pepper
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
Instructions:
  • Place your eggs in a pot with a lid and fill with water.
  • Bring the pot of water to a boil and when boiling shut off the heat, cover, and allow to sit for 15 minutes. While the eggs sit fill a large bowl with ice water.
  • When the 15 minutes have passed gently scoop the eggs from the pot and place them into the ice water. Allow them to rest for 20 minutes or until they're cool to the touch.
  • When your eggs have cooled peel them and slice in half length wise.
  • Scoop out the egg yolks and place them in a small bowl along with all remaining ingredients. Using a fork mash them together until smooth. This can also be done in a food processor if you're not trying to mash them by hand.
  • Place your smooth egg yolk mixture into a small zip top bag. Cut off a small corner from the bag and presto! You've made a piping bag for your eggs!
  • Fill your egg whites with the yolk mixture and sprinkle with the smoked paprika. Enjoy room temperature or chilled. These can be made and stored in the fridge up to two days in advance.
