Crock Pot Beef Carnitas¶

https://crosswaylife.org/2013/05/17/friday-fun-2/
2 lbs beef roast (the original recipe called for flank steak, I used shoulder roast) 1 yellow onion, chopped 1 green bell pepper, chopped 1 red bell pepper, chopped 1 jalapeno, seeded and chopped
for spice rub— 2 tsp chili powder 1 tsp cumin 1/4 tsp onion powder 1/4 tsp garlic powder 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper 1 tsp salt 1/2 tsp black pepper
for serving— corn tortillas avocado slices cilantro your favorite salsa limes
- Mix together all spices in a small bowl. Rub the spices all over your roast—be generous here! Then, place your steak at the bottom of your crock pot.
- Cover the steak with the chopped onions, bell peppers and jalapeno pepper. Turn heat on LOW and cook for 8 hours.
- After 8 hours, remove meat from crock pot and shred with a fork. It should be incredibly easy to shred. You can either stick the shredded meat back in the pot for another hour or serve as is.
- To serve, heat your corn tortillas in a skillet on the stove. Spoon some carnitas on a tortilla then top with salsa, avocado, cilantro and a squeeze of lime.

SWEET POTATO TAPIOCA GNOCCHI¶
https://ladyandpups.com/2017/03/21/sweet-potato-tapioca-gnocchi-gluten-free/

SWEET POTATO TAPIOCA GNOCCHI
- 1 1/2 cup (345 grams) baked and peeled sweet potatoes
- 3/4 cup (90 grams) tapioca flour, plus more to adjust
- 1/4 cup (37 grams) potato starch
strongly recommend measuring by weight
- 2~3 sweet potatoes. After washing, bake them in a 400 F/200 C oven for 1 hour until cooked through. Let them cool down COMPLETELY, then peel
- Add tapioca flour and potato starch, and knead with your hands until the mixture becomes a very dry, shaggy and very crumbly texture. The mixture should be too dry to come together as a cohesive dough at this point, but you can squeeze small nubs of it into solid chunks. If your mixture is too wet (that it gathers into a solid chunk), add more tapioca flour until it’s right.
- 4 individual tbsp of the mixture, and squeeze them into 4 tube-shaped dough. Cook them in the boiling water until they just float to the surface. Remove with a slotted spoon and rinse under water to cool down. Make sure you drain them well,
- add them back into the dough-mixture. Now you should be able to knead the whole thing together into a pliable, slightly springy, TACKY but not tf oo sticky dough. The dough should be moist and tacky, but shouldn’t stick to your hands during kneading. If your dough is sticky, add more tapioca flour until it isn’t. (You can test-cook a small piece in boiling water, cool it under cold water, and see if you’re happy with the texture before adding more flour or sweet potato).
- Now break off a large piece and roll it into a 1/2” (13 mm) thick tube. Lightly dust it with tapioca flour, then cut into segments about 3/4” (20 mm) long (DO NOT dust then with more flour at this point). Place one segment standing up on a fork (cut sides facing up and down), then press it down into a stubby nub (not a disk that’s too thin), then gently roll it off of the fork. Repeat until you’re done with the entire dough. Now scatter them on a sheet-tray and freeze until hard. Keep in an air-tight bag in the freezer until needed.
GNOCCHI IN THYME BROWNED BUTTER
- In a skillet, add diced pancetta and water, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat (I feel that this brings out more “porky-ness” whereas if I just brown the pancetta directly). Continue to cook until all the water has evaporated, and that the pancetta starts to brown slightly in its own fat.
- Now add butter, fresh thyme and black pepper, and continue to cook until both the pancetta and butter are browned. Turn off the heat and set aside.
Cooking
- Bring a pot of water with a generous amount of salt to boil. Add the gnocchi straight from the freezer (or you can cook them fresh, too), and when they JUST float to the surface, cook 30 seconds more.
- Transfer into a large sieve and rinse under cold water, tossing them gently so they are cooled down evenly and completely (this step is important in obtaining that chewy texture).
- Drain well, and add them into the browned butter skillet. Heat over high heat until each gnocchi are warmed through.
- Re-season with sea salt if needed, and serve immediately with LOTS of grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese.

- 1 large California Avocado, peeled and pit removed
- ¼ cup cilantro leaves, packed
- ½ lime, juiced

Combine all the ingredients in a food processor or blender and blend until smooth. These can be made up to 4 days ahead of time. (store in an air-tight container in the fridge)
Tostadas¶
- 8 corn tostada shells, crunchy
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, finely shredded
- 8 eggs
- salt and pepper
- cotija cheese
- cilantro, fresh

Instructions¶
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with tinfoil and lightly spray with cooking spray. Place the tostada shells in an even layer on the baking sheet.
- Spread about 1 to 2 tablespoons of the black bean mixture over the top of each tostada, then sprinkle with a couple tablespoons of shredded cheese. Bake for 3 to 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
- Meanwhile cook your eggs to your preference. The eggs pictured are “sunny side up.” Lightly coat a skillet with non-stick spray and heat over medium-high heat. Crack the egg into the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until whites have set and yolk is still runny.
- Place cooked eggs on top of the hot tostadas, top with the avocado salsa verde, sliced tomatoes, fresh cilantro and a little cotija cheese. Enjoy!

Pumpkin smoked bacon Quiche¶

Roasted Pumpkin¶
via https://sophiesfoodiefiles.wordpress.com/2015/11/17/pumpkin-smokedbacon-quiche/
Ingredients¶
550 gr of peeled pumpkin, treads & pits removed, cut up into bite-sized chunks/ home-grown
1 tablespoon of finely chopped fresh rosemary, no stalks!/home-grown
10 grins of black pepper
10 grins of pink Himalayan salt in a grinder
1 + 1/2 tablespoon of a fruity extra virgin olive oil
Cooking¶
Preheat your oven to 200°C ( 400 F) for about 10 minutes. In a large non-stick roasting pan, place pumpkin chunks in 1 layer in it. Scatter 1 tablespoon chopped rosemary over it all. Season with 10 grins of black pepper & 10 grins of pink salt. Finally, drizzle your fruity oil over & mingle with clean hands. Place into the hot oven & roast until tender. This took me 25 minutes. Take out of the oven & close oven door, to keep oven hot.
Quiche¶
Ingredients¶
1 packet of 250 gr smoked bacon pieces ( Herta)
180 gr cleaned, white mushrooms, cut up into smaller pieces black pepper pink salt
1 fat clove of garlic, peeled & finely chopped/home-grown
1 medium white onion, peeled & finely chopped
1 teaspoon of fresh finely chopped rosemary, no stalks!
a fruity oil
200 ml of soy cream
2 eggs, beaten
150 gr shredded Gruyère cheese
1 packet of puff-pastry with margarine (Herta)
Cookings¶
large non-stick pan & heat up on high. When hot, add a few drizzles of that same oil & heat up. Add chopped garlic & onion. Fry for about 5 minutes & add chopped mushrooms & rosemary. Stir often & lower your heat if you need to. Now, add smoked bacon pieces & fry until cooked through & browned on all sides, stirring often. When ready, place fitted lid on.
15 minutes before you are going to use your pastry, take it out of the fridge & out of the package. Leave it to rest rolled out. Preheat your oven again for 5 minutes or so. Take your iron cast tin & oil it. Place baking paper in it, neatly. Now, with 2 hands, put your pastry on top of your baking paper & place it neatly into the bottom & sides of the tin. Do this with help of your hands & fingers. See that there are not any holes, otherwise close them with the pastry. Prick the base several times with a fork. Put mushroom-bacon mix on the bottom, evenly spread out. This will be the 1st layer.
Now, put roasted cooled pumpkin pieces on top of it all,…this is your 2nd layer. In a bowl, crack 2 eggs. Beat loose with a fork. Pour soy cream in it. Whisk it all together. Add some seasoning. Mix with fork. Pour this cream-egg mix all over the pumpkin-veggie-bacon layers, all evenly divided. This will be your 3rd layer.
Finally, top with the grated cheese, all evenly spread out on top. This will be your 4th layer. Place into the hot oven & bake for 30 minutes. The last 8 minutes, turn oven lower to 175°C. Take out of the oven & your house will smell amazing! Wait a few moments & carefully take the Quiche out of the tin with help of spatulas onto a big large fitted plate. Carefully remove the excess of paper on the sides & bottom. Slice into big wedges & serve with that side salad & dressing! To make the dressing, take a smaller bowl & add all ingredients for the dressing. I seasoned it with 5 grins of black pepper & 5 grins off pink salt. Whisk together with a small whisk & taste.

Moroccan Feta Meatballs with Ras El Hanout and Zucchini Noodles¶

Ras el hanout is a blend of six or more ground spices, similar in concept to curry powder, but more cinnamon based. It’s available in most markets, but if necessary, substitute equal parts cinnamon, cumin, and cardamom.
Ingredients - ½ pound ground lamb - ½ pound ground beef - ⅔ cup panko bread crumbs - ⅔ cup crumbled standard firm-style feta - 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley - 1 teaspoon garlic powder - 1 teaspoon ras el hanout - 1 teaspoon turmeric - ½ teaspoon salt, plus more for zucchini - 1 large egg, lightly beaten - 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided - 3 medium zucchini - ½ cup beef broth or water - 3 cloves garlic, minced - Zest of 1 lemon
Instructions In a large bowl, combine lamb, beef, bread crumbs, feta, parsley, garlic powder, ras el hanout, turmeric, and salt, mixing until well combined. Add egg, and stir until blended. Form lamb mixture into 24 meatballs, each about the size of a walnut. In a large skillet, heat ½ tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Cook meatballs in batches, gently turning them at intervals to brown all sides and cook through— about 20 minutes for each batch. Meanwhile, shave zucchini into long ribbons using a vegetable peeler. Lightly toss zucchini with salt and place in a colander to stand for at least 15 minutes. When meatballs are cooked, remove from skillet and keep warm. Stir beef broth into skillet, loosening browned bits from bottom. Add garlic to broth, and heat to simmer; cook until broth is reduced by half. Whisk lemon zest and remaining 1½ tablespoons oil into reduced broth. Add zucchini ribbons, and cook, gently tossing in pan juices, until slightly softened (but not limp), 6 to 8 minutes. To serve, arrange zucchini ribbons on each plate and top with meatballs.

Light as a feather gnocchi is perfect for presenting bold flavors such as herbaceous basil pesto and rich, salty American Grana cheese.
Ingredients - 3 russet potatoes - 1 egg - 1 egg yolk - 1 cup flour - 1/2 cup shredded BelGioioso American Grana cheese, plus extra for garnish - 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil - 1 teaspoon salt - 1/2 cup prepared basil pesto
Instructions Poke and bake russet potatoes until fork tender. Remove from oven and cut open so the potatoes can steam and cool. Once potatoes are only warm to the touch, run potato pulp through a food mill. Make a well in the center of the potato pulp and add egg, egg yolk, flour, BelGioioso American Grana, olive oil and salt. Mix together until just combined, being careful not to work the dough too much, which can result in doughy gnocchi. Roll potato dough 1/4 - 1/2 inch diameter and cut to length with a knife. Blanch in boiling water until the gnocchi float. Mix gnocchi with basil pesto and sprinkle with shredded BelGioioso American Grana.

- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 oz cheese
- pinch of sea salt
filled the jar up about 65%
cooked the eggs for about forty minutes
20 minutes, then stir, 10 minutes, then stir, 5 minutes, etc.
Chef Steps¶

185 °F
Eggs blended with Heavy cream and/or cottage cheese
Fill to bottom notch of the jar opening.
Place a lid on each mason jar and twist the lid until it’s closed but still possible to open with your fingertips. This allows air to escape from the jars when they’re submerged in water. If the jars are closed too tightly, the trapped air will press against the glass and could crack or break the jars.
Anova¶

Pasta with Mushrooms and Prosciutto¶

¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto (about 6 slices) 1 pound mixed mushrooms (such as chanterelles, maitake, oyster, crimini, and/or shiitake), torn into bite-size pieces 2 medium shallots, finely chopped 1 teaspoon thyme leaves, plus more for serving Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper 1 cup chicken stock or low-sodium chicken broth 12 ounces pappardelle or fettuccine ⅓ cup heavy cream 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
RECIPE PREPARATION Heat ¼ cup oil in a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot over medium. Arrange prosciutto in a single layer in pot and cook, turning once or twice, until crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
Heat remaining 2 Tbsp. oil in same pot over high. Cook mushrooms, tossing occasionally, until browned and tender, 5–8 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add shallots and 1 tsp. thyme, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring often, until shallots are translucent and softened, about 2 minutes. Add stock and reduce heat to low. Bring to a simmer and cook until only a thin layer of stock coats bottom of pot, 5−7 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until very al dente, about 3 minutes less than package directions.
Using tongs, transfer pasta to pot with mushrooms and add 1 cup pasta cooking liquid. Crumble half of prosciutto into pot. Increase heat to medium, bring to a simmer, and cook, tossing constantly, until pasta is al dente and liquid is slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Add cream, return to a simmer, and cook, tossing, until pasta is coated, about 1 minute. Remove from heat, add butter, and toss to combine. Taste and season with salt if needed.
Divide pasta among bowls. Top with more thyme and crumble remaining prosciutto over; season with pepper.
