We haven’t done this in a while, but I thought I’d hand on some recipes you may or may not enjoy…
\n1. no-beans-no-onions-no tomatoes pulled pork\/chili.
\nBiiiig lot of boneless pork shoulder cut as spareribs; crockpot. Put pork in crockpot before 8 am. Add, in no particular order: [and I am reckoning on that crockpot being so full of pork you can hardly get the lid down…so adjust the spices accordingly—] 2 cups hot chili powder. [no kidding]. 1\/4 cup cinnamon. 2 heaping tbs ground cloves. Tablespoon of salt. 3 heaping TBS of ground black pepper. And if you’ve got it, 2 heaping TBS of chipotle pepper flakes. If you are still not satisfied, add a teaspoon of allspice, and another of nutmeg. Cook this brew (careful of nuclear reaction) all day. It is going to be hotter than hades when dished up. You can moderate the heat a) by serving with a healthy dollop of sour cream b) putting it in the microwave covered with cheddar cheese c) serve it over corn chips with melted cheese and, if you like to live dangerously, sliced jalapenos, d) serve it as the filling in enchiladas (add cheese, roll, microwave, cover with hot chili and more cheese to taste e) serve it over rice or spaghetti. It also freezes very well: just divvy into ziplocs and use one per meal. <\/p>\n
2. corned beef and cabbage: this one relies on pickling spice, which you can generally buy; some brands pack the spice with the brisket. One brisket, corned beef. One large cabbage. Crockpot, again from morning til supper. Preparation: 1) open the corned beef packet and wash it thoroughly in clean water until the water runs clear. It is packed in salt: wash it! 2) locate the packet, or take 1 heaping tbs of pickling spice. 3) put the brisket in the crockpot: you may have to cut it in half. Add 2 cups water, add the spice, and, here’s the trick—add a tablespoon of black pepper and most important, a tablespoon of nutmeg. Cook on high most of the day, until bubbling gets frenetic, add more water if needed. 2 hours before supper. Slice up a head of cabbage and add it, and a couple of carrots and potatoes, if you like them. Serve with Irish Soda Bread, and butter, or hot biscuits, or a salt-baked potato (if none in the soup) and you have a fine supper.<\/p>\n
3. salt-baked potatoes. Heat oven to 350. rub down baking potatoes with oil, roll in salt, place on rack in oven for an hour. <\/p>\n
4. the family spaghetti recipe: 2 lbs ground beef. Sear with oil in pan until browned. Add 3 heaping tbs chopped fresh garlic [we’re allergic to onion and preserved garlic]—cook with beef. Add one can of tomato paste—I favor Contadina. Add: 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp black pepper, 1 tsp clove, 1 tsp thyme, 1 tsp marjoram, 1 TBS oregano, 1 tbs basil (or more; 1 tbs comino (cumin, ground); 1 TSP celery seed: cook all day, adding water as needed, add fresh (never canned) mushrooms if desired: celery bits and green bell pepper are a matter of taste: I prefer not. Serve over pasta or use as filling in lasagne. Good with Italian salad and hot garlic bread.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
