The power of a Meatball

Sunday Meatballs
all beef recipe, don't go selling this to the neighbors now
This is your 90/10 ground sirloin, about 1 pound and a half
I'm really bad at giving out recipes because I don't measure so bear with me.

Two Eggs

Cup of breadcrumbs (seasoned)

5 chopped basil leaves (or three tablespoons of dried)

Cup of grated parmesean cheese, I prefer the parmagiano reggiano

salt/pepper

1/4 of a onion chopped TINY
2 cloves of garlic, chopped TINY

Mix ingredients into meat, form meatballs (see pic)

Bake for 30-40 minutes 375 degrees.

Then put into sauce for at least an hour not for cooking purposes but for added flava to the sauce. Trust me.

The Pork Roast

Costco sells a hug Pork Loin for like $1.99 a pound. It's easily one of the best bargains they offer. I buy it all the time. Butcher it when I get home into like 6 different meals. I'll slice up thin pork cutlets, I'll make thick pork chops and I'll cube some pork for tacos or pork stew. I also leave whole roasts. These are my favorite. What i normally do is dry rub them with the El Padrino spice blend and grill it. But I grill it like I grill my pork ribs. Low and slow.

Wrapped in aluminum foil, with the dry rub. Low on the grill for about 2.5 hours at 275 degrees.

It comes out moist, tender and tasty. Yesterday I made one for some company and it was great. Paired with thinly sliced fried potatoes with a hint of parmagiano reggiano dusted on top and fresh parsley and roasted beets.

The Beets are simple. Fresh beets are so suite, you have to try them and I hear they are very good for you. I boiled them until fork tender, then remove the skin once it's cooled and put slices into a alumnium foil pocket with salt pepper dab of butter and a few sliced onions. Then roast them either in the oven or on the grill, bout 300 degrees for 10-15 minutes.

Day Off Cusine

Off for the next 4 days, including the weekend so lot's of cooking coming up. Stay tuned. Today, and I have already spiced it El Padrino style, is a slow roasted Pork Roast.

Check back in throughout the weekend for frequent posts.

My dry rub

You're in for a treat, one time and one time only here is my dry rub.

Dry Rub Spce Blend aka The El Padrino:

light brown sugar
paprika
oregano
ground ginger
black pepper
sea salt
cayenne pepper
granulated garlic (NOT GARLIC POWDER)
onion powder
all spice

sprinkle liberally on chicken, pork, beef, fish

How much of each is for you to decide. Magicians never give away the prestige.

HOT WANGS

Grilling a shit ton of wings is how I like to spend Sat afternoons.

Real quick cuz I know I posted this befo'...my wing suace is simple and duplicated all over. Actually got the recipe from Sunny Anderson when she was not on Food Network but a Hot 97 DJ. Stick of butter, melted fully. Bottle of Franks. Cook for about 5 min. Done and Done. No joke. My family and friend think I add extra shit but I don't. Unless I want extra pop I cayenne the raw wings and hit the sauce with pepper flakes or habenero seeds. Once in awhile I'll play with the butter to sauce ratio.

Sunday Morning Fritatta

Ingredients :
7 Eggs
4 Potatoes (med size)
2 Tomatoes (Vine Ripe)
Italian Seasoning
1 Onion
Half stick of butter
1/8th a cup of Pepperdew peppers

Saute Potatoes/Onions until soft (in the butter)
Season with salt/pepper/italian seasoning
When soft throw in the tomatoes and peppers, saute for an extra 3 minutes
Beat 7 eggs and make sure to season the eggs
Pour eggs over saute, make sure it spreads to the sides.
Let sit on heat for a minute, remove from heat and transplant to 375 degree oven.
I'd say for about 20 minutes, I let mine go until the top crisped like the pic shows.

Serve with some toast or melon. Cantaloupe preferably.

Mangia!
