Safety note. Wash hands frequently when handling raw chicken. It can get funky and fatal. Horribly fatal.
Scotch bonnet peppers have oils with some heat and may cause some skin, eyes, and nose irritation when raw.Empanadas de Doña Garcia – CPO RyanBy Samuel DietzmannFamily recipe that was refined with the help of The Explorers Cookbook and Travel Guide by Yvonne Addario
Makes about 30 empanadas.
Of all the ingredients, this is the most important. Your community. This is a celebration with the kitchen as the center of activity. There should be music playing, dancing and drinks. I was the last person my deceased former mother-in-law, Doña Olga Garcia, cooked empanadas with. She shared the family secret for these empanadas with me much to the chagrin of many. And this is it. Never cook these alone. The experience and the bounty needs be shared with friends and family. This is why you are making 30 of them. Everyone may go home with empanadas, but the gift was each other.Cebollitas – CPO RyanBy Samuel DietzmannFamily experiment with assistance from Latin Chic by Carolina Buia and Isabel GonzalezChewy Chocolate Orange Cookies – S1c BrutsmanBy Samuel DietzmannThis recipe is really based on the childhood joy of getting a chocolate orange for the holidays. The one where the chocolate is shaped like an orange and you bang it down onto the table to break the segments apart. It can easily be made gluten free by using gluten free flour. I regularly do it gluten free.Meringue Roll with Lemon Curd and Berries – S1c BrutsmanBy Samuel DietzmannI had too many egg whites. Meringues have always been a favorite in my family and a meringue roll is a fun take on it. It’s a very versatile recipe. You can use different nuts or skip them all together. You can use different berries. You can use different curds.
You have a choice to make your own lemon curd or just buy a big jar from the store. It turns out well both ways. Sometimes, I have extra eggs whites and other times I do the whole thing from scratch.Bacon Wrapped Pork Tenderloin – S1c BrutsmanBy Samuel DietzmannI watched Ina Garten on youtube do a prosciutto wrapped pork tenderloin that looked really good. It looked good but there was no way I would make it because prosciutto is too expensive. After looking at a few different recipes from other people, I came up with this.
By doing the extra step of par cooking the bacon, it makes for a crispy bacon wrap around the tenderloin. If you skip this step, the bacon will not be fully cooked by the time the tenderloin is done.Pistachio Lush Cake – S2c BettsBy Samuel DietzmannFamily recipe
If you substitute well whipped double cream the end product will not last as long since the cream will start to go flat. If you use this substitution then wait till you ready to serve to apply the top layer.
