Spices For Cooking Turkey

Spices For Cooking Turkey

South of the Mason Dixon line, black eyed peas have simmered on

stoves for decades and are served at the midnight hour on New

Year's Eve along with the chilled champagne, mixed drinks, and

the beer. Dried, frozen or canned, they have been traditionally

cooked with either ham hocks, ham chunks, or bacon and whatever

other ingredients the home cook adds to them. For the carb and

the cholesterol conscious, turkey bacon or turkey ham is used as

well as a light cooking oil. For the sugar restrictive, a sugar-

free product is substituted. For the eggless, a commerical egg

product is used. For the salt-free, a light salt is used.

Dried Black Eyed Peas

1-lb. dried black eyed peas, rinsed in a colinder

1-ham hock, or a few chunks of ham

1/2-cup onion, chopped

2-cloves garlic, finely chopped

Enough water to cover the peas

1-small can stewed tomatoes, pureed

1-whole jalapeno, rinsed

Salt and pepper to taste

Directions: Into a large bowl:Add the dried black eyed peas

and cover them with cold water soaking them overnight. In a skillet: Add a tablespoon of cooking oil and cook the ham until

it is halfway done. Saute the onion and the garlic. Season with

the salt and the pepper.Add the black eyed peas with the water

that they were soaked in and cover them with some more water.

Bring the ingredients to a boil for ten minutes. Turn the heat

down to medium-low. After the black eyed peas are almost

finished cooking add the pureed tomatoes and the whole jalapeno.

Adjust the seasonings. Cook until the peas are done. Serve with

slices of corn bread and butter.

Corn Bread

1-cup flour

1-cup yellow corn meal

1/4-cup sugar

1-Tlb. baking powder

1-tsp. salt

1/4-cup cooking oil

1-egg

1-cup milk, or buttermilk

Directions: Combine the flour, the corn meal, the sugar, the

baking powder, and the salt. Add the liquid ingredients and

combine them with a wooden spoon. Oil an eight-inch rectangular

baking or a round cast iron skillet adding the corn bread batter. Bake at three hundred and fifty degrees for forty-five

minutes.

Black eyed peas were originally cultivated in Asia, India and

Africa. They were brought to the West Indies and the Southern

states in America by slaves. The peas stand for coins and

prosperity. They are a rich source of Calcium, Folate and Vitamin A.

Frozen black eyed peas are usually found in the freezer section

of the grocery store. Bacon is usually used instead of ham for

a better flavor.

Frozen Black Eyed Peas

2-slices bacon, cut into halves

1/2-cup onion, chopped

2-cloves garlic, finely chopped

1-16-oz bag black eyed peas

1/4-tsp. sugar

Salt and pepper

Directions: In a large pot: Cook the bacon until it is almost

done. Saute the chopped onion and the garlic. Add the frozen

black eyed peas and cover them with water. Season with the salt, the pepper and the sugar. Cook on medium-low until they are done.

Canned black eyed peas are the quickest way to cook them and

they are usually well seasoned with added bacon. Although, the

home cook might add two slices of cooked bacon and lightly season

them.

Description

On a trip to Turkey as a young woman, chef Ana Sortun fell in love with the food and learned the traditions of Turkish cooking from local women. Inspired beyond measure, Sortun opened her own restaurant in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the award-winning Oleana, where she creates her own interpretations of dishes incorporating the incredible array of delicious spices and herbs used in eastern regions of the Mediterranean. In this gorgeously photographed book, Sortun shows readers how to use this philosophy of spice to create wonderful dishes in their own homes. She reveals how the artful use of spices and herbs rather than fat and cream is key to the full, rich flavors of Mediterranean cuisine -- and the way it leaves you feeling satisfied afterward. The book is organized by spice, detailing the ways certain spices complement one another and how they flavor other foods and creating in home cooks a kind of sense-memory that allows for a more intuitive use of spice in their own dishes. The more than one hundred tantalizing spice categories and recipes include: * Beef Shish Kabobs with Sumac Onions and Parsley Butter * Chickpea and Potato Terrine Stuffed with Pine Nuts, Spinach, Onion, and Tahini * Crispy Lemon Chicken with Za’atar * Golden Gazpacho with Condiments * Fried Haloumi Cheese with Pear and Spiced Dates Absolutely alive with spices and herbs, Ana Sortun’s recipes will intrigue and inspire readers everywhere.

Description

Building on the tremendous success of Weber's Art of the Grill, Weber the world's best-known and most trusted grilling experts, return with the ultimate in barbeque cookbooks. Weber's Big Book of Grilling is the definitive guide to outdoor cooking. Packed with 350 recipes and hundreds of sure-fire tips and techniques, this one-stop cookbook is guaranteed to turn readers everywhere into backyard heroes. Using nearly 50 years of outdoor grilling wisdom, the experts at Weber have created an essential handbook destined to become a sauce-stained classic. So, for the chef who's barely flipped a burger or for the local grilling guru, here's all the advice they'll need to stretch their skills--and at the price that's red-hot as the coals!

Armed with industrial tongs, a basting brush, and over 350 new recipes, chef Jamie Purviance and coauthor Sandra S. McRae (Weber's "corporate poet") step back behind the grill with Weber's Big Book of Grilling, the searing follow-up to the bestselling Weber's Art of the Grill. We open to a brief history of Weber and a few colorful anecdotes about the early days of the company along with a crash course on choosing a grill, featuring a breakdown of grilling with charcoal versus gas and a quiz to help you determine which grill is best for your cooking needs. Each recipe features the requisite cooking method (direct or indirect heat) and temperature level with techniques that leave plenty of room for individual improvisation. James Beard Award-winning photographer Tim Turner returns with artfully styled color photos of hot-off-the-grill dishes that will make you want to stop reading and start grilling. Search for a favorite recipe or browse through individual chapters and benefit from Weber's grilling history with helpful guides and sidebars about cuts of meats, cooking methods, tips, glossaries, and illustrated instructions. Every barbecue lover has their favorite bottled sauce or over-the-counter rub, but "Sauces, Marinades, & Rubs" will inspire you to make your own (Crazy Cola Barbecue Sauce to an overachieving Type-A Rub) from scratch using common pantry staples. "Starters" includes a helpful chart to match up appetizers with entrées along with a recipe for Chinese Chicken Noodle Soup (yes, on the grill--the Asian marinade for the chicken becomes the base for soup). Meat is covered in chapters on beef, pork, lamb, game, poultry, and fish and seafood. Beer-Bathed Brisket gets a little help from a pint of Guinness while a half-filled can of beer props up (and moistens) Beer-Can Chicken. Baby Back Ribs with Spiced Apple-Cider Mop and Buffalo Burgers with Chipotle Mayonnaise will spice up any party, and Lobster Tails with Champagne Vanilla Sauce is every bit as decadent as it sounds. "Vegetables" includes a handy vegetable grilling chart along with sections on grilling for vegetarians and quick and easy meat substitutes. "Sides & Salads" serves up Couscous-Stuffed Tomatoes and Grilled Garlic Bread while "Desserts" wraps everything up with the basics on grilling fruit (Grilled Figs and Goat Cheese Drizzled with Honey or Peaches with Raspberry Sauce and Lemon Cream) and several different takes on campfire favorite, s'mores. Without a doubt, Weber's Big Book of Grilling will get you through the outdoor cooking season, but it will also inspire you to fire up your grill (rain or shine) all year long. --Brad Thomas Parsons
