16. 6 pounds pork baby back ribs<br />
17. 1 pinch black pepper<br />
18. 1 pinch salt<br />
19. 1 pinch crushed red pepper<br />
20. 4 cups barbecue sauce<br />
21. 2 (12 ounce) bottles porter beer, room temperature<br />
22. <br />
23. <b>Directions</b><br />
24. Cut ribs into small portions of 2 or 3 bones each. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Season water a pinch each of salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper to the water. Boil ribs in seasoned water for 20 minutes. Drain, and let the ribs sit for about a half an hour.<br />
25. Meanwhile, preheat an outdoor grill for high heat.<br />
26. Lightly coat the ribs with barbecue sauce. Cook the ribs over high heat for a 5 to 10 minutes on each side to get a nice grilled look to them.<br />
27. Place grilled ribs in a slow cooker. Pour remaining barbecue sauce and one bottle of beer over the ribs; this should cover at least half of the ribs. Cover, and cook on High for 3 hours. Check ribs every hour or so, and add more beer if needed to dilute sauce. Stir to get the ribs on top into the sauce. The ribs are done when the meat is falling off the bone. The ribs were cooked completely in the first process, the rest is about flavor and texture.<br />
28. <br />
29. <b>Footnotes</b><br />
30. <br />
31. If you add too much beer, the sauce will get very thin. It is best to drink most of the second bottle of beer.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;fullpost&quot;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://foodsonearth.blogspot.com/feeds/2223833767924272971/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://foodsonearth.blogspot.com/2011/08/amazing-ribs.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2021937627404329650/posts/default/2223833767924272971'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2021937627404329650/posts/default/2223833767924272971'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://foodsonearth.blogspot.com/2011/08/amazing-ribs.html' title='Amazing Ribs'/><author><name>JOHN REY</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10049420795566025042</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqzoZ1rSWZeifcDsW5ubsl3MTiUxKsWswkVipU5nRBSbOQABNtFKU-G3xgi1sqcYNPOM0Yb7quOd39FBKCFrOe-Cf07t4fNaZoUOTnb5jSVeJwKZeF0_sDXqq0AR3uOzU/s220/169012_103191559755682_100001945154081_27374_433520_n.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2021937627404329650.post-6324171222752758008</id><published>2011-08-27T03:38:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-08-27T03:38:07.685-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Olive and Tomato Focaccia"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="VEGETABLES"/><title type='text'>Olive and Tomato Focaccia</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiv6b2tuijNUjxHGA0HOTgCjEts4pywVm64o5SnUlajFDLYRR4MRb9PD2e9D5C61IS9Ds_wCImc6fUAe51VfmyWgpP_pJpEvm0VVK_sff3g3_30DHXFWuLrRj_Y2DL2CeDphcrHTVPF9u4/s1600/DSC_8278.JPG&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiv6b2tuijNUjxHGA0HOTgCjEts4pywVm64o5SnUlajFDLYRR4MRb9PD2e9D5C61IS9Ds_wCImc6fUAe51VfmyWgpP_pJpEvm0VVK_sff3g3_30DHXFWuLrRj_Y2DL2CeDphcrHTVPF9u4/s1600/DSC_8278.JPG&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiv6b2tuijNUjxHGA0HOTgCjEts4pywVm64o5SnUlajFDLYRR4MRb9PD2e9D5C61IS9Ds_wCImc6fUAe51VfmyWgpP_pJpEvm0VVK_sff3g3_30DHXFWuLrRj_Y2DL2CeDphcrHTVPF9u4/s400/DSC_8278.JPG&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div&gt;I was recently sent a great little cookbook called The I love Trader Joe&#39;s College Cookbook. You don&#39;t have to be in college to enjoy this cookbook because it&#39;s filled with quick, easy, and inexpensive recipes using Trader Joe&#39;s products. If you read my blog you know I LOVE Trader Joe&#39;s and I use many of their products on a daily basis. I found this recipe while perusing the cookbook and couldn&#39;t wait to make it. This recipe is simple, quick, and it uses very few ingredients. I adapted it by using homemade Three Olive Tapenade instead buying some (it&#39;s so easy to make and I had all the ingredients on hand). This will be on our table many times in the future because we all loved it.&lt;br /&gt;

49. Gently need the dough a few times then stretch the dough out with your fingers and place it into the baking dish, pressing the dough down into the bottom of the dish. Use your fingers to punch tiny indentations into the top of the dough. Drizzle more olive oil on top of the dough then spread the tapenade evenly over the top, next layer tomato slices Season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste.<br />

I didn’t even want to go inside the Le Creuset store because it’s just filled with gorgeous things I can&#39;t afford. *siiigh* Why bother? But Steven convinced me to take a peek and I’m sure glad he did because there happened to be a sale, a damn good one! The 5 1/2 quart Dutch oven was on sale for $150! Holy crap, what a freakin&#39; steal! You bet I&#39;m gonna get one. There was some inner turmoil about whether to get the original Flame or the sexy Cherry Red. It couldn&#39;t have been more perfect timing because the enamel on my Chefmate Dutch oven started chipping off. $40 for a pot that only lasted me 2 years or $150 for a lifetime warranty?&lt;br /&gt;
58. <br />
59. The original plan was to get some lamb shanks or beef short ribs (inspired by Jen’s beautiful recipe) to christen the shiny new pot but neither of them were on sale. Instead, I got a chuck 7 bone roast, which is still pretty tasty. Our last CSA box had a bunch of good stuff, asparagus, sunchokes, and spinach. I roasted the asparagus in the toaster oven and made sunchoke creamed spinach after being inspired by Harold Dieterele’s recipe on Top Chef.<br />

61. I'll have to try this recipe again with the lamb shanks like I originally planned.<br />
62. <br />
63. Red Wine Braised Beef<br />
64. <br />
65. 1 oz. dried porcinis<br />
66. 4 large sprigs of parsley including stems<br />
67. 2 - 3 large thyme sprigs<br />
68. 2 bay leaves<br />
69. 2 pounds chuck roast or short ribs<br />
70. 1 Tbsp olive oil<br />
71. 1 large onion, chopped<br />
72. 1 medium carrot, diced<br />
73. 1 rib celery, diced<br />
74. 2 cloves garlic, minced<br />
75. 2 Tbsp tomato paste<br />
76. 1 1/2 C dry red wine<br />
77. Salt<br />
78. Freshly ground black pepper<br />
79. Water as needed<br />
80. <br />
81. Pour a cup of hot water over the dried porcinis to rehydrate them. When they are soft, use a fork to fish them out of the liquid, saving the liquid, wash them to get rid of excess dirt and grit, and mince. Wet a coffee filter or paper towel and line a fine mesh sieve. Strain the porcini water to get rid of excess dirt. The wet filter will prevent it from absorbing the flavorful porcini liquid.<br />
82. <br />
83. Tie the herbs in a bundle with some twine so they’re easy to pick out later.<br />
84. <br />
85. Season the beef with salt and freshly ground black pepper on all sides. In a Dutch oven or large pot, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium high heat. Brown the chuck roast (or short ribs, or shanks) until it is browned on all sides. Remove from pan and set aside.<br />
86. <br />
87. Lower the heat to medium and add the vegetables, some salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Cook until the vegetables are softened and translucent and scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Add the porcinis, garlic, and tomato paste and cook until the tomato paste has started to caramelize slightly. Add the porcini water, red wine, and return the beef and any accumulated juices back into the pot. Lower the heat to a bare simmer, cover and let it braise for 2 – 3 hours or until the meat is fall off the bone tender. Add some water if there's not enough liquid in the pot.<br />
88. <br />
89. When the beef is done braising, remove from the pan and turn the heat up to medium and reduce the sauce by half.<br />
90. <br />
91. Sunchoke Creamed Spinach<br />
92. 8 oz. sunchokes, washed and peeled, and cut into ½ inch chunks<br />
93. 1 Tbsp butter<br />
94. 1/2 C heavy cream + 1/2 C water<br />
95. 1/2 tsp lemon zest<br />
96. 2 tsp lemon juice<br />
97. 2 large bunches of spinach, rinsed of all grit and dirt<br />
98. Salt<br />
99. Freshly ground black pepper<br />
100. <br />
101. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Saute the sunchokes until they are light brown on the edges. Add half cup of heavy cream and half cup of water and simmer on very low heat until the sunchokes are tender, about 15 – 20 minutes. Puree the sunchokes in a blender or food processor, add some of the cream they were cooked in to thin the mixture.<br />
102. <br />
103. In skillet heat 2 tsp of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the spinach until it is wilted. Pour out until accumulated juices in the pan and use a spatula and press out as much liquid from the spinach as you can. Fold in the sunchoke puree, lemon zest, juice and season with salt and pepper.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://foodsonearth.blogspot.com/feeds/6958273517484759775/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://foodsonearth.blogspot.com/2011/08/red-wine-braised-beef-and-sunchoke.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2021937627404329650/posts/default/6958273517484759775'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2021937627404329650/posts/default/6958273517484759775'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://foodsonearth.blogspot.com/2011/08/red-wine-braised-beef-and-sunchoke.html' title='Red Wine Braised Beef and Sunchoke Creamed Spinach'/><author><name>JOHN REY</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10049420795566025042</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqzoZ1rSWZeifcDsW5ubsl3MTiUxKsWswkVipU5nRBSbOQABNtFKU-G3xgi1sqcYNPOM0Yb7quOd39FBKCFrOe-Cf07t4fNaZoUOTnb5jSVeJwKZeF0_sDXqq0AR3uOzU/s220/169012_103191559755682_100001945154081_27374_433520_n.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3408/3503147551_f913a4dcb4_t.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2021937627404329650.post-8041348497258798238</id><published>2011-04-14T01:06:00.002-07:00</published><updated>2011-04-14T01:07:48.046-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="chinese"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Chinese Sizzling Rice Soup Ingredients:"/><title type='text'>Chinese Sizzling Rice Soup Ingredients:</title><content type='html'>&lt;table bgcolor=&quot;#efefef&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;color: #40454b; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;

141. <b>Special Tikoy Cooking Instructions</b>:<br />
142. <br />
143. 1. Prepare the wok for steaming.<br />
144. 2. In a bowl, mix the boiling water and the sugar. Stir constantly to dissolve. (If using peen tong, break the candy into several pieces, so that it will dissolve more easily in the boiling water.) Cool.<br />
145. 3. Soak the Chinese dates in hot water for at least 30 minutes to soften. Another way is to place them in a bowl with water and microwave on high heat for 30 seconds. Cut the dates in half and remove the pits.<br />
146. 4. Place the glutinous rice flour in a large bowl. Make a hole in the middle and add in the sugar and water mixture. Add the milk and begin shaping the dough. Add 1 tablespoon of water to the dough at a time, until you have a smooth dough with a satiny texture. Mix ½-¾ of the Chinese dates, nuts or other dried fruit as you are adding water and working with the dough.<br />
147. 5. Grease a 7 inch square cake pan with vegetable oil or non-stick cooking spray. Place the dough in the cake pan and spread it out to the edges. Decorate with the remaining dates, lightly pushing them into the dough. Sprinkle the sesame seeds on top.<br />
148. 6. Steam the cake over medium-high to high heat for 45 minutes or until the edges of the cake pull away from the pan. Remove the cake from the heat and cool.<br />
149. 7. Use a knife to loosen the edges, then remove the cake. Wrap in wax paper and refrigerate overnight.<br />
150. <br />
151. To serve :<br />
152. Cut the cake into quarters and then into thin slices 2-3 inches long and ¼ inch wide.<br />
153. <br />
154. There are Two ways to serve Tikoy…<br />
155. 1. You can serve the cake as is or reheat it in the microwave (the amount of time will depend on the size and power of your microwave-start with 10 seconds and then microwave an extra 5 seconds if needed) or re-steam it for 4-5 minutes.<br />
156. 2. Another way to serve is to pan-fry the cake, dipping the cake in an egg wash before frying. Use a small amount of oil so that the cake will not taste oily. Heat the oil on medium-high to high heat, then turn the heat down to medium and brown the cake slices briefly on both sides.</td></tr>

296. Cut the chicken in half. Heat the water and leave aside. In a small bowl, mix the spices (garam masala, turmeric, cumin, and cardamom) together and add to the mixture one teaspoon of salt. Sprinkle half of the spice mixture on the chicken halves. <br />
297. Heat oil in a large cooking pan, fry the onions until golden brown, then add to the pepper and the black limes - you MUST make a hole in each limes. <br />
298. Add the chicken to the onion mixture and turn it over a few times in the pan. Sprinkle on the chicken a teaspoon of cinnamon and the rest of the mixed spices. Turn the contents all together so the chicken is coated with the spices, cover the pan and let it cook on medium heat for 3 minutes. <br />
299. Add the garlic, chopped ginger, and tomato cubes to the pan and turn the ingredients in the pan a few times. Cover again for 3 minutes on medium heat. Sprinkle with the rest of the salt and pour on it water while its still hot.Cover the pan and let it cook for about 1 hour, or until the chicken is cooked. Add the copped coriander 5 minutes before you remove the chicken from the stock in the pan. While the chicken is cooking, wash the rice well and soak for 10 minutes in cold water, then drain.Remove the chicken from the pan and put on an oven tray, brush with some oil and sprinkle with the rest of the cinnamon powder and grill in the oven until the chicken is golden brown.Add the rice to the chicken stock, stir, then let it cook on low heat until the rice absorbs the stock and is almost done.Sprinkle rose water and lemon juice over the rice and place the butter pieces on the top.

303. <b>Preparation Time 15 minutes<br />
304. Cooking Time 10 minutes</b><br />
305. <br />
306. Equipment<br />
307. You will need to soak 12 bamboo skewers in water for 15 minutes for this recipe.<br />
308. <br />
309. Ingredients (serves 4)<br />
310. <br />
311. 6 chicken thigh fillets, cut into 3cm pieces<br />
312. 2 garlic cloves, crushed<br />
313. 1 tbs sumac<br />
314. 1 tsp ground coriander<br />
315. 2 tbs extra virgin olive oil<br />
316. 1 cup (250ml) chicken stock<br />
317. 1 cup (190g) couscous<br />
318. 1 cup coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley<br />
319. 1/2 cup coarsely chopped mint<br />
320. 2 green onions, trimmed, thinly sliced<br />
321. 250g cherry tomatoes, halved<br />
322. 1/4 cup (60ml) lemon juice<br />
323. Greek yoghurt, to serve<br />
324. Pita bread, to serve<br />
325. <br />
326. Method<br />
327. <br />
328. 1. Combine the chicken, garlic, sumac, coriander and half the oil in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Thread the chicken onto bamboo skewers.<br />
329. <br />
330. 2. Heat a char-grill pan or large frying pan over high heat. Add chicken skewers and cook, turning occasionally, for 5-7 minutes or until golden and cooked through. Remove from heat. Set aside to rest.<br />
331. <br />
332. 3. Meanwhile, bring the chicken stock to the boil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Remove from heat, add the couscous and stir to combine. Cover and set aside for 5 minutes. Use a fork to fluff grains to separate. Transfer to a bowl. Add the parsley, mint, onion, tomatoes, lemon juice and remaining oil and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper.<br />
333. <br />
334. 4. Spoon the couscous among serving plates. Top with kebabs. Serve immediately with Greek yoghurt and pita bread, if desired.<br />
335. <br />
336. Notes<br />
337. Try substituting couscous with burghul (cracked wheat). It takes a little longer to cook, but is traditionally used to make tabouli.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://foodsonearth.blogspot.com/feeds/6888831670382756233/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://foodsonearth.blogspot.com/2011/04/sumac-kebabs-on-couscous-tabouli-recipe.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2021937627404329650/posts/default/6888831670382756233'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2021937627404329650/posts/default/6888831670382756233'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://foodsonearth.blogspot.com/2011/04/sumac-kebabs-on-couscous-tabouli-recipe.html' title='Sumac kebabs on couscous tabouli recipe'/><author><name>JOHN REY</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10049420795566025042</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqzoZ1rSWZeifcDsW5ubsl3MTiUxKsWswkVipU5nRBSbOQABNtFKU-G3xgi1sqcYNPOM0Yb7quOd39FBKCFrOe-Cf07t4fNaZoUOTnb5jSVeJwKZeF0_sDXqq0AR3uOzU/s220/169012_103191559755682_100001945154081_27374_433520_n.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-sP8Xxx-pbr0/TYBnC86JpuI/AAAAAAAAFCI/3tkYutt08Ik/s72-c/Sumac-kebabs-on-couscous-tabouli-recipe.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2021937627404329650.post-6799300855621761145</id><published>2011-04-11T18:01:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-04-11T18:01:00.005-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="ARABIC FOOD RECIPES"/><title type='text'>Moroccan-style lamb with pistachio couscous recipe</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href=&quot;https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-YKj7F9_R9aQ/TYdRX4o4Y5I/AAAAAAAAFI0/N-02bAN_UCQ/s1600/Moroccan-style+lamb+with+pistachio+couscous+recipe.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-YKj7F9_R9aQ/TYdRX4o4Y5I/AAAAAAAAFI0/N-02bAN_UCQ/s1600/Moroccan-style+lamb+with+pistachio+couscous+recipe.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;The Arabic Food Recipes kitchen (The Home of Delicious Arabic Food Recipes) invites you to try Moroccan-style lamb with pistachio couscous Recipe.  Enjoy Moroccan Food and learn how to make quick and easy Moroccan-style lamb with pistachio couscous. &lt;br /&gt;

I&#39;ve converted him to a zucchini lover, albeit a meat-and-cheese stuffed zucchini lover. I&#39;ve heard of stuffing bell peppers but stuffing zucchinis was a novel idea for me, one which I first saw on Elise&#39;s Simply Recipes. One of the great things about reading food blogs is seeing all the creative and delicious ideas bloggers come up with; it becomes addicting!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Nothing else, no garlic, ginger, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, etc. etc. Just oil and salt. This way it keeps the flavors clean and refreshing. There are so many varieties of bok choy it&#39;s sometimes hard to keep them straight. The kind of bok choy I most often use is baby bok choy, the variety with light green instead of white stalks. When it comes to most Chinese vegetables, bigger isn’t always better, the smaller ones are sweeter and more tender. Even in the same plant, I find that the inner leaves are much sweeter and tastier than the outer ones.&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUoeQx-X-qlruy9eWLNZ8QF4wt75Ft1QVE1kwuAQdLKYB3Ui0cjLbp9t56kDrOJo4HiWNiQP-W3uvuTr8x3RC44hXckdD31I93QiMmOzoSdLx_WeqJEOpBK2dc_QtzPEAFfZQYErKt7zo/s1600/cutbakchoy.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUoeQx-X-qlruy9eWLNZ8QF4wt75Ft1QVE1kwuAQdLKYB3Ui0cjLbp9t56kDrOJo4HiWNiQP-W3uvuTr8x3RC44hXckdD31I93QiMmOzoSdLx_WeqJEOpBK2dc_QtzPEAFfZQYErKt7zo/s320/cutbakchoy.jpg&quot; width=&quot;211&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
370. </div><br />
371. There are also many ways to cut bok choy. Some prefer to chop the leaves and separate the greens from the stalks since the leaves cook faster. Others like to cut the entire bok choy in half lengthwise or in quarters and cook it in large segments. What I like to do is take each leaf and slice down lengthwise to get about 1/2 in strips, leaf intact. I think it’s prettier this way and it’s more manageable to eat than a huge quarter segment.</div><div><br />
372. </div>Stir fried Bok Choy<br />
373. Bok choy (1 head per person)<br />
374. Salt<br />
375. 1 tsp vegetable oil per 2 bunches bok choy<br />
376. <br />
377. Wash each leaf to get rid of the dirt, especially in the spoon-like area in the bottom. Slice 2 or 3 times lengthwise down the leaf for strips.<br />

It’s the perfect Holiday dish to prepare for unexpected guests. One can easily freeze the embutido, slice it , heat it in the oven and serve. The embutido that I know is wrapped in sinsal (an internal pork entrail) which is ideal for steaming. Mom only prepared embutido on Christmas season. There are so many ingredients which need lots of preparation time but like I told you, once prepared, and cooked it’s perfect to store.&lt;br /&gt;
415. <div><br />
416. </div>Here is my Embutido recipe.<br />
417. <br />
418. <b>Ingredients</b><br />
419. 2 pieces red pepper, minced finely<br />
420. 3 kilos ground lean pork<br />
421. 2 pieces carrot, grated finely<br />
422. 1 cup Chorizo de Bilbao, chopped finely (this is the one that gives the flavor)<br />
423. 6 eggs, beaten<br />
424. 200 grams raisins<br />
425. 300 grams pickle relish<br />
426. 3 onions, minced<br />
427. 1 1/2 tablespoon minced garlic<br />
428. 1 1/2 teaspoons ground black pepper<br />
429. 3 1/2 Tablespoons fine salt<br />
430. 7 1/2 Tablespoon sugar<br />
431. 2 1/2 Tablespoon worcestershire saice<br />
432. 3/4 cup cornstarch<br />
433. <br />
434. <b>Garnishing</b><br />
435. 3 eggs hardboiled<br />
436. 5 pieces hotdog<br />
437. 4 pieces Vienna sausage<br />
438. <br />
439. <b>Procedure</b><br />
440. 1. Combine all the ingredients except the garnishings.<br />
441. <br />
442. 2. Blend thoroughly together. Before rolling , take a small meat portion and fry to make sure the flavors suit your taste.<br />
443. <br />
444. 3. Measure a 1 cup pork mixture. Spread pork mixture into 8″ x 10″ aluminum foil.<br />
445. <br />
446. 4. Make a rectangular well in the center.<br />
447. <br />
448. 4. Arrange slices of hard cooked eggs, Vienna sausage and hotdog. Roll until the ends of the pork mixture covers the eggs and sausages. Continue rolling the pork mixture back and forth until it covers the slices of eggs and sausages in the center.<br />
449. <br />
450. 6. The rolled mixture in the aluminum foil should reach around 1″ to 2″ in diameter.<br />
451. <br />
452. 7. Seal both ends. Repeat with the remaining pork mixture.<br />
453. <br />
454. 8. Steam bake in moderate oven over 350 F for 1 hour or steam for 30 minutes.<br />

Served with garlic rice, eggs and coffee is the ultimate breakfast. I often dip my tapa with vinegar before mixing it with my garlic rice. Through the years, I’ve developed my own recipe because it was getting more and more expensive to buy the pre-mixed tapa.&lt;br /&gt;
457. <br />
458. Here is my recipe which I have featured before but made it even tastier.<br />
459. <br />
460. 1 kilo beef sirloin<br />
461. 1 1/2 Tablespoon + 1/2 teaspoon salt (fine salt)<br />
462. 7 Tablespoon white sugar<br />
463. 2 teaspoons minced garlic<br />
464. 1 tsp. ground black pepper<br />
465. 2 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce<br />
466. 3 1/2 tablespoon vinegar<br />
467. <br />
468. Mix all ingredients.<br />
469. Let stand for a few hours.<br />
470. Store in the refrigerator for 24 hours or longer before storing in the freezer.<br />
471. <br />
472. It’s best to marinate the beef overnight as the flavors seep in more.<br />
473. <br />
474. Divide the 1 kilo marinated beef into separate plastic bags so you can just cook them per batch.<br />
475. <br />
476. Now if you can’t wait to cook beef tapa, just hop along to the nearest Jollibee restaurant, Max Restaurant or any restaurant for that matter. Almost every restaurant serves beef tapa as their Filipino breakfast fare.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://foodsonearth.blogspot.com/feeds/9055305496765127428/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://foodsonearth.blogspot.com/2011/04/filipino-breakfast.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2021937627404329650/posts/default/9055305496765127428'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2021937627404329650/posts/default/9055305496765127428'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://foodsonearth.blogspot.com/2011/04/filipino-breakfast.html' title='FILIPINO BREAKFAST'/><author><name>JOHN REY</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10049420795566025042</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqzoZ1rSWZeifcDsW5ubsl3MTiUxKsWswkVipU5nRBSbOQABNtFKU-G3xgi1sqcYNPOM0Yb7quOd39FBKCFrOe-Cf07t4fNaZoUOTnb5jSVeJwKZeF0_sDXqq0AR3uOzU/s220/169012_103191559755682_100001945154081_27374_433520_n.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2021937627404329650.post-8871665218867290226</id><published>2011-04-06T19:18:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-04-06T19:18:34.297-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Cakes - Pastries AND Desserts"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Deserts"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="PHILIPPINES"/><title type='text'>BUKO PANDAN JELLY</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;buko-pandan-jelly&quot; src=&quot;http://pinoyfoodblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/buko-pandan-jelly.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
477. Buko Pandan is just a favorite dessert in most parties. The fragrant smell of pandan is soothing after a filling meal. Pandanus leaves are often soaked in water and boiled to extract both the green color, a natural food colorant, as well as the aroma which is a bit nutty and reminiscent of freshly-cooked jasmine rice. One can prepare Buko Pandan Jelly with or without pandan leaves. Of course you will need pandan essence that can be bought online (Check here). If there are no pandan leaves or pandan essence available (especially those based outside the Philippines), then one will just have to leave it out and pretend the flavor is there.<br />
478. <br />
479. <b>Ingredients</b><br />
480. 7 Pandan leaves (skip this if you have Pandan flavoring or Pandan essence )<br />
481. 5 Buko (young coconut) grated<br />
482. Water from 5 Buko which is about 10 cups<br />
483. 2 bars of Green Gulaman<br />
484. 3 small cans of Nestle Cream<br />
485. 1 medium can of Condensed Milk<br />
486. 1 1/2 Cups Sugar (adjust to taste)<br />
487. <br />
488. <br />
489. Directions<br />
490. <br />
491. 1. Boil buko water with the 7 pandan leaves. Twist each pandan leaf so juice can easily be extracted. Simmer for 20 minutes.<br />
492. <br />
493. 2. When you smell the aromatic pandan , remove from fire. Discard leaves.<br />
494. <br />
495. 3. Check if the remaining coconut water is equal to 8 cups since 1 bar of gulaman is good for 4 cups of liquid.<br />
496. <br />
497. 4. Add gulaman to the remaining coconut water and stir well to dissolve the gulaman. Add sugar while mixing.<br />
498. <br />
499. Continue doing so for at least 5 minutes.<br />
500. <br />
501. 5. Strain the mixture and place in cooling tray so gulaman mixture can cool and harden. When cool, refrigerate.<br />
502. <br />
503. 6. Mix the cream, sugar and condensed milk with the grated buko. Set aside.<br />
504. <br />
505. 7. Get chilled gulaman from the refrigerator nd cut into 1 cm cubes.<br />
506. <br />
507. 8. Mix well with buko mixture. Chill in the refrigerator before serving.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://foodsonearth.blogspot.com/feeds/8871665218867290226/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://foodsonearth.blogspot.com/2011/04/buko-pandan-jelly.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2021937627404329650/posts/default/8871665218867290226'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2021937627404329650/posts/default/8871665218867290226'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://foodsonearth.blogspot.com/2011/04/buko-pandan-jelly.html' title='BUKO PANDAN JELLY'/><author><name>JOHN REY</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10049420795566025042</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqzoZ1rSWZeifcDsW5ubsl3MTiUxKsWswkVipU5nRBSbOQABNtFKU-G3xgi1sqcYNPOM0Yb7quOd39FBKCFrOe-Cf07t4fNaZoUOTnb5jSVeJwKZeF0_sDXqq0AR3uOzU/s220/169012_103191559755682_100001945154081_27374_433520_n.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2021937627404329650.post-5599285241214480695</id><published>2011-04-06T19:15:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-04-06T19:15:13.433-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Baking Recipes"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Cakes - Pastries AND Desserts"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Deserts"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="PHILIPPINES"/><title type='text'>FOOD FOR THE GODS</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href=&quot;http://pinoyfoodblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/food_for_the_gods-007.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://pinoyfoodblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/food_for_the_gods-007.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;It’s that time of the year when I plan the baked goodies that I plan to give as gifts to my friends. Food for the Gods is such a delightful recipe to bake during the holidays when one doesn’t have the time to bake Fruit Cake. It entails less preparation and baking time. It’s the perfect dessert to prepare beforehand. Baked with a delightful blend of dates and walnuts, molasses, tinge of brandy and cinnamon, the taste is reminiscent of fruit cake sans the fruit glaze. You should try it. It’s simple to bake. Your kitchen will also emit holiday aroma that gives you more reason to keep baking and baking.&lt;br /&gt;

Those were the days when water was much cleaner, without risk of Hepatitis A infection. These days, once can easily buy Ice Scramble at the Philippine malls but for those who reminisce this good ole street food treat, you can prepare one at home. One just needs to know the classic Ice Scramble base, and choose your favorite topping.&lt;br /&gt;

With crab meat available in the groceries, it’s easier to prepare now. My mom used to prepare this by boiling the crabs and flaking the crab meat. The top shell is saved for filling in the crab meat. Anyway, this recipe is just plain crab omelet or tortang alimasag. A very simple dish.&lt;br /&gt;
550. <br />
551. <b>Ingredients</b><br />
552. 1 cup flaked crab meat (you can buy this at the frozen section of the grocery)<br />
553. 1 tablespoon soy sauce<br />
554. 1 tablespoon constarch<br />
555. 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper<br />
556. 1/2 teaspoon refined salt<br />
557. 2 tablespoons oil<br />
558. 1/4 cup shredded onions<br />
559. 6 cloves garlic, crushed<br />
560. 2 peeled potatoes, finely diced<br />
561. 1/4 cup shredded celery<br />
562. 5 eggs<br />
563. <br />
564. <b>Directions</b><br />
565. 1. Beat eggs slightly and season with salt and pepper.<br />
566. 2. Beat all ingredients together. Set aside.<br />
567. 4. Heat wok then add oil.<br />
568. 5. Fry potatoes and set aside.<br />
569. 6. Saute garlic until brown then add vegetables, then add crab meat, salt, soy sauce, pepper and cornstarch. Set Aside to cool.<br />
570. 8. Heat non-stock frying pan in preparation for the omelet.<br />
571. 9. Pour in beaten eggs and cook. You will know the egg has cooked enough to proceed when the egg whites have actually turned white, the bottom is set and the top is a bit creamy.<br />
572. 10. When the crispy transparent egg edges start to pull away from the pan, this is the time to add the crab mixture.<br />
573. 11. Put your crab mixture in the omelet on one side only, in a half moon shape so it is easy to fold. Leave a little space around the omelet so the crab mixture won’t spill out of the sides.<br />
574. 12. Then fold the omelet in half. Use your spatula to left the omelet gently out of your pan and let it slide to a plate.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://foodsonearth.blogspot.com/feeds/7583010374563240346/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://foodsonearth.blogspot.com/2011/04/crab-omelet-or-tortang-alimasag.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2021937627404329650/posts/default/7583010374563240346'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2021937627404329650/posts/default/7583010374563240346'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://foodsonearth.blogspot.com/2011/04/crab-omelet-or-tortang-alimasag.html' title='CRAB OMELET OR TORTANG ALIMASAG'/><author><name>JOHN REY</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10049420795566025042</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqzoZ1rSWZeifcDsW5ubsl3MTiUxKsWswkVipU5nRBSbOQABNtFKU-G3xgi1sqcYNPOM0Yb7quOd39FBKCFrOe-Cf07t4fNaZoUOTnb5jSVeJwKZeF0_sDXqq0AR3uOzU/s220/169012_103191559755682_100001945154081_27374_433520_n.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2021937627404329650.post-1472071335533640910</id><published>2011-04-05T17:55:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-04-05T17:55:31.519-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="SEAFOOD"/><title type='text'>BAKED MALIPUTO FISH</title><content type='html'>How many of you have eaten the Maliputo fish? I thought I knew all the fish species in the country since I grew up in Cebu, where most of our dishes were seafood. The other night, my husband brought over Maliputo, since he came from Batangas. His staff gave him one whole fish.&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
575. </div><div><a href="http://pinoyfoodblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/maliputo-yellowfin-jack2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="maliputo-yellowfin-jack2" border="0" src="http://pinoyfoodblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/maliputo-yellowfin-jack2.jpg" /></a><br />
576. My husband baked the Maliputo without adding salt , pepper , herbs and other spices. He just added chopped onions and tomatoes inside the fish. The taste is divine. It had a slight salty and sweet taste. I asked my husband “are you sure this is a fresh water fish and you didn’t place salt?” My husband said that Maliputo is a fresh water fish found only in Taal Lake.</div><div><br />
577. </div><br />
578. I knew I was missing something. My husband showed me his book, “The Mysteries of Taal” by Thomas Hardgrove written in 1991.<br />
579. <br />
580. In the book , it talks about Lake Taal’s fish including Maliputo.<br />
581. <br />
582. ….include the yellowfin jack, a “freshwater species of mackerel, locally called maliputo. One of maliputo’s scientific name is Carnax Ignobilis.<br />
583. <br />
584. The maliputpo migrate from the lake via the Pansipit Rover to spawn, or lay eggs in the sea, then return to Taal. I have seen Maliputo almost 1 m long at restaurants along the Pansipit River.<br />
585. <br />
586. Gourmets and Manila restaurants pay a high price for the tasty maliputo (US $10.00 per kilogram in early 1989).<br />
587. <br />
588. Pauly does not consider maliputo a mackerel. “True mackerel belong like tina to the Scombridae family, ” he wrote. “They do not occur in fresh or even brackish, water…Maliputo corresponds to a fish of the family Carangidae, i.e. a horse mackerel, (not a a mackerel) , or jack, or cavalla or pampano.<br />
589. <br />
590. The marine biologist thinks the early Spaniards confused carangids such as maliputo with tuna.:<br />
591. <br />
592. So there goes the answer to my question on the salty taste of the Maliputo<br />
593. <br />
594. Maliputo is comparable in taste and texture to other white-fleshed marine fish like lapu-lapu, pompano and maya-maya. This is usually served in high-brow restaurants and hotels steamed-cook and garnished with various herbs and spices. Caught alive, caranx are much sought after by the Japanese and Chinese restaurants here and abroad, making it another export winner for the country.<div><div style="font-family: Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 16px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: center;"><img alt="maliputo-yellowfin-jack1" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1387" height="375" src="http://pinoyfoodblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/maliputo-yellowfin-jack1.jpg" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="maliputo-yellowfin-jack1" width="500" /></div>A major scientific breakthrough in aquaculture has been achieved here in the National Fisheries Biological Center (NFBC), a research and extension facility of the Department of Agriculture – Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources. They were able to develop a method of inducing natural spawning in the matured fish which are very difficult to handle owing to its sensitive nature. The lack of scales in the fish makes it very sensitive to hormonal injection and the slightest removal from the water may also cause sudden death.<br />
595. <br />
596. Perhaps in the near future, we will be able to have plentiful supply of this tasty fish. The price of Maliputo is pegged at 500 pesos a kilo. Such a rare fish to have on our table. Be careful. Some people sell fake maliputo. The Talakitok is similar to the Maliputo except they are caught in marine waters.<br />
