Red Wine Hot Chocolate

by flavorslutofficial December 23, 2020

written by flavorslutofficial

Back at it again with the 19 Crimes Snoop Dogg Cali Red!

Feel free to use whatever red you love with this! Dry reds will make this less sweet and more savory while sweeter reds will make the hot chocolate taste more fruit forward and full. I’d recommend a nice full bodied red blend…(like the Cali Red)…but, as always, you do you!

Lazy Eggplant Parm

by flavorslutofficial December 21, 2020

written by flavorslutofficial

This lazy eggplant parmesan gives you all the reward of a classic restaurant fried eggplant parm, but with none of the hassle that comes with *actually* frying- saving you time, calories, and any potential burns.

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 25 minutes

Total Time: 45 minutes

Course: Main Course

Cuisine: American, Italian

Servings:

Pin it!

Ingredients:

2 large eggplants (2.5 to 3 pounds)
1 cup gluten free panko
2 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp oil (can use spray oil if desired)
1 Tbsp dried Italian herbs
¼ cup fresh basil
3 cups pasta sauce of your choice
4 oz mozzarella (shredded or fresh)
4 oz parmesan cheese (shaved or grated)

Instructions:

Slice the ends off your eggplants and chop into bite sized pieces. Place in a large bowl.
Sprinkle 2 tsp salt over the eggplant and toss to coat. Set aside for 20 minutes. We're allowing the salt to remove any excess moisture from the eggplant.
While the eggplant is soaking:
In a large dry skillet over low heat add your panko and 1 tsp of an oil of your choice. Stir well and toast until a dark golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside. Finely chop your fresh basil.
When 20 minutes is up drain any liquid that has collected at the bottom of the bowl with the eggplant and add the eggplant to a large skillet over medium-high heat (you can totally use the breadcrumb skillet and save dishes!). Sprinkle over the dried Italian herbs and stir well. Allow the eggplant to cook until soft, stirring occasionally.
When the eggplant has softened and begun to brown slightly around the edges. Add the pasta sauce and fresh basil. Stir well and allow the sauce to heat through.
When the sauce is warm stir in your mozzarella and parmesan and allow to melt completely.
Stir in the toasted breadcrumbs and give everything a final big stir to make sure all the ingredients have been distributed evenly throughout the dish. Serve hot over your favorite pasta and enjoy!

Deviled Eggs

by flavorslutofficial November 5, 2020

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: egg halves

Pin it!

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.

Breakfast Eggs Vegetarian

Shakshouka

by flavorslutofficial August 27, 2020

written by flavorslutofficial

Shashouka is a popular and delicious Mediterranean egg dish eaten at anytime of the day! If spice is your thing you could easily dial it up!

Feel free to customize this dish to suit your tastes as the only must have ingredients are the eggs, tomatoes, and accompanying spices. Goat cheese is a delicious tangy option, but if it isn’t your style feta, queso fresco, and leaving the cheese out completely all work beautifully here as well!

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Total Time: 30 minutes

Course: Breakfast, Main Course

Cuisine: Mediterranean, Middle Eastern

Servings:

Pin it!

Ingredients:

8 eggs
28 oz can whole San Marzano tomatoes
1 cup water
1 large onion (chopped)
1 lb eggplant (chopped)
6 cloves garlic (minced)
¼ cup olive oil
15 oz cherry peppers in brine (chopped, stems removed)
2 Tbsp cherry pepper brine
1 ½ tsp ground cumin
1 Tbsp paprika
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
2 oz goat cheese (*optional)
2 Tbsp fresh parsley (chopped *optional)

Instructions:

In a bowl add the whole canned tomatoes with their juices and squeeze the tomatoes with your hands to break them up, add the paprika, 1 tsp cumin, chopped cherry peppers, and 2 Tbsp cherry pepper brine. Stir and set aside.
In a large pan over medium-high heat add 1 Tbsp olive oil and the chopped onion. Cook until the onion is soft and beginning to brown about 5 minutes.
Add the remaining 3 Tbsp oil and eggplant and continue to cook until the eggplant is soft about 7-10 minutes. When the eggplant is soft add 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp black pepper, and the garlic. Toss to coat the eggplant and onion. Cook until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute.
Reduce your heat to medium and add your bowl of tomatoes and peppers to the pan. Allow to simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add 1 cup of water and stir again.
In the pan with the back of a spoon or rubber spatula gently make holes in the sauce and crack one egg into each hole. When all the eggs have been added cover your pan and simmer for 5-7 minutes or until the egg whites are fully cooked.
When ready to serve sprinkle the goat cheese, ½ tsp cumin, and parsley over top. I serve this dish with GF tortillas, flat bread, or rolls. Enjoy!

Sopes

by flavorslutofficial August 25, 2020

written by flavorslutofficial

Pronounced “SO-pays” sopes are a delicious Mexican dish that utilizes leftovers to make a quick meal that helps to stretch the budget! Since sopes use corn masa as the base the texture lies between the chew of an arepa and the softness of a tamal (tamale). They cook up in just ten minutes, and can be filled with whatever your heart desires!

For these sopes I used the leftovers from taco night (taco meat, refried beans, lettuce, pico de gallo, and queso fresco). Other common fillings include shredded meat, salsas, cheeses, shredded cabbage, radish, pickled onions. Let your imagination run wild!

Sopes

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Total Time: 20 minutes

Course: Main Course

Cuisine: Mexican

Servings:

Pin it!

Ingredients:

2 ½ cups instant masa harina
2 cups warm water
1 tsp salt
2 Tbsp vegetable oil or lard/bacon fat

Instructions:

In a bowl combine the masa harina, salt and vegetable oil or lard/bacon fat. With your hands crumble the fat into the masa harina until it has the texture of sand.
Slowly pour the warm water into your masa one cup at a time. The water should dissolve into the masa completely before adding the next cup. Your masa should be the texture of fresh play-doh when it's ready! Masa is not an exact science so you may need more masa harina or water to achieve the correct texture, don't sweat it!
Divide the prepared masa into 8 even balls. Lightly wet your hands and press the balls into approximately ½" thick circles with your palms re-wetting your hands after each circle. This prevents the masa from sticking to your hands.
Heat a large skillet over med-high heat or 400°F if you're using an electric skillet. Lightly grease the skillet, and when it's hot begin cooking the sopes. Cook for 2-4 minutes per side. You're looking for a *slight* golden color.
When your sopes have achieved the correct color move them to a baking tray, and while still warm pinch the edges to form a rim around the outside of the sopes. They should look like tiny pie crusts. This step must be done while the sopes are still warm, but be careful not to burn yourself!
At this point the sopes are technically done, but I like to place them back on the griddle for just a minute or two to allow the bottoms to crisp up a little more. This step is completely optional though. You do you boo!
Fill the sopes with whatever you've chosen. The traditional way is to begin with a smear of beans, then top with meat, cheese, and additional toppings. Enjoy!

Jeera Rice (cumin rice)

by flavorslutofficial August 19, 2020

written by flavorslutofficial

Jeera rice is a delicious and easy rice from the northern region of India. It’s flavorful enough to enjoy on it’s own, quick enough to make it to your weeknight rotation, and the perfect accompaniment to curries and heavily spiced dishes. Balance is the name of the game here! Cumin seeds are surprisingly high in antioxidants, iron, and help to promote digestion making this side dish not only a delicious choice, but a healthy one too!

Dairy not your thing? Try it with vegan butter!

Jeera Rice (cumin rice)

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 25 minutes

Total Time: 30 minutes

Course: Side Dish

Cuisine: Indian

Servings:

Pin it!

Ingredients:

1 ½ cups Basmati, or long grain white rice
2 Tbsp butter
2 4" cinnamon sticks
1 bay leaf
1 Tbsp cumin seeds

Instructions:

Wash the rice until the water runs clear, drain, and set aside.
In a small pot over medium-high heat add the butter and allow it to melt.
When the butter has melted add the cumin seeds, cinnamon sticks, and bay leaf. Cook stirring constantly for 1 minute, and add the rice. Coat the rice in the butter and cook for 2 minutes longer.
Shut the heat to your pan off and look at your hand so your palm is facing you. Look at your index finger. The first line of your finger closest to your finger tip is the PERFECT measure for water to rice ratios. On a flat surface place your fingertip on top of the rice and fill with water until it reaches that line. Be careful of the hot pan!
Place the pot back over medium-high heat and bring the rice and water to a boil. Turn the heat to low and cover leaving a small gap to allow steam to escape. Follow the cook time instructions on the package for your rice. Cooking should take roughly 10-20 minutes depending upon your rice selection.
This recipe also works in a rice cooker if you have one available! Just place the toasted rice and spices into the cooker, cover with a the appropriate amount of water, and allow the cooker to work it's magic.
When your rice is cooked fluff it up with a fork or rice paddle and remove the cinnamon sticks and bay leaf. Serve with your favorite dish and enjoy!
