SUPER MOIST + TENDER SAVORY MEATBALLSThese are a very popular dinner in my house and we call these weekday meatballs bc shabbos meatballs are always sweet and sour. This month I try extra intentional with my cooking so that I can minimize the cooking load for next month! That means making things like meatballs, bc they freeze EXCELLENTLY, and doubling the recipe so that I can pop some in the freezer to save for holiday season! Either I’ll use them for one of the few weeknight dinners when I need break from cooking, or add them to my menu! Maybe even dress them up and serve them over mashed potatoes, or on a garlic crostini! Mmmm! #recipe1.5 kilo (3.3lbs) chopped meat4 cloves minced garlic2 tsp kosher salt1 tsp coarse black pepper 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes2 tsp dried parsley 2 eggs3 slices white bread (crust removed)1/2 cup almond milkPreheat oven to 400°f (200°c) and line baking sheet with parchment paper. Tear up white bread into a small bowl. Add almond milk. Mix until bread absorbs all the milk. Add everything to a bowl. Mix well. Form meatballs (I make mine tiny), place on baking sheet. Bake for 25 min. While cooking make sauce. 2 Tbsp olive oil3 cloves garlic, minced2/3 cup dry red wine2 (15oz) cans tomato sauce1 tsp kosher salt2 bay leavesHeat a large pot over medium high heat. Add oil and garlic. Stir for 45 seconds. Add wine. Allow to reduce for 2 minutes. Add in sauce. Refill each can half way with water and add to the pot. Add salt and bay leaves. Mix, bring to a boil. Add cooked meatballs. Stir and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover the pot and simmer for 1-2 hours stirring every so often. Serve hot and enjoy! #meatballs #recipes #dinner #prepahead ...

CHILI OIL NOODLESIt’s the texture of the noodles, the taste of the oil. It’s all of it. And it’s all amazing. Also, noodles out of wonton wrappers are superior. For the rice noodles:fill a plate with room temp water. Take two pieces of rice paper. Drizzle 1/2 tsp sesame oil on one. Rub it all over and place second piece of rice paper on top and rub to stick together. Pick up both and dip into water for 15 seconds. Remove and wait 45 seconds, then cut into desired noodle size. take 1 noodle and seperate sheets (if you want, some people like a thicker noodle). The longer they sit before cutting the harder they will be to separate after cut. Add chili oil right away and mix. For wonton noodlesMake sure wonton wrappers are defrosted. Seperate sheets to prevent sticking. Cut wrappers in half or to desired size. Place in boiling water and stir immediately. Cook until just soft (wonton wrappers boil quickly bu exact size will vary based on brand. #recipe2 tbsp chili flakes (I used Korean ghogujaru)4 cloves garlic, minced2 tsp minced ginger2 heaping tbsp sliced scallions (mostly the white part)2 tbsp sugar3 Tbsp low sodium soy sauce 2 tsp toasted sesame oil1/4 tsp kosher salt 1/2 cup avocado oil Place everything besides oil in a bowl. Heat oil in small pan or pot. Once it gets hot enough that a little smoke comes off the oil carefully pour the oil into the bowl with other ingredients. Stir gently to combine. Cook noodles. The second the noodles are ready add to the oil, or pour over. Serve and enjoy! #noodles #chilioil #ricenoodles #wontonnoodles #nööds #glutenfree ...

KFC CHICKEN, PLC STYLE It’s actually super easy to make once you have the KFC BLEND on hand. So make a double batch and pop it in your spice cabinet!! #recipe FOR THE MARINADE:1 c dairy free yogurt6 tbsp almond milk (or soy, or oat)2 tsp kosher salt 2 tsp granulated garlic1/2 tsp cayenne pepper1 tsp paprika 1k (2.2 lbs) chicken tendersFOR THE BIG BATCH SPICE RUB:1/2 c kosher salt 5 tbsp paprika 2 tbsp granulated garlic 4 tbsp coarse ground black pepper2 tbsp ground ginger2 tbsp mustard powder4 tsp celery powder (you can buy celery seeds and crush them yourself)1 scant tbsp oregano 1 scant tbsp thyme 2 tbsp MSG (optional but recommended)FOR THE DRY MIXTURE:3 cups white flour1/2 cup spice rubNeutral oil for frying (canola, avocado…)In a bowl combine all the marinade ingredients and stir well.Cover bowl with plastic wrap and marinate for 1 hour or up to overnight. Meanwhile make spice rub.This amount will make enough for 2 batches. If you want to have on hand for easy cooking, double or triple the rub and store in a jar or airtight container!To coat and cook:If you marinated the chicken in the fridge, remove and place on the counter 1 hour before cooking. Heat a large pot a little more than halfway full with oil and heat to 350f (180c). In a large bowl combine flour and spice rub.Add 3 tbsp of the marinade to the flour mixture and stir vigorously to create small clumps in the flour. Remove one piece of chicken at time from the marinade and place into the flour mixture, pressing firmly to make sure the entire piece is nicely coated.The piece should look almost shaggy from the clumpy flour mixture!You can bread them all first and lay them on a piece of parchment paper once breaded. Gently add them to the preheated oil in small batches and fry for 4 to 5 minutes until they are golden, crips and cooked through. Place chicken on a cooling rack so they stay crispy.Serve hot (or cold! They’re that good!) and enjoy!!!#kfcchicken #kosher #copycatrecipes ...

MICRO PEAS!!!! 🫛🫛🫛🫛A series of mini cook books each one focused on a very very specific topic. Think a whole book, at a very low price, of ground beef recipes, a whole book of Bundt recipes. Except the first book is not ground beef or Bundt cakes. It’s something better, but you’ll have to wait just a little longer to find out!! So you buy what applies to you, and don’t buy what you don’t need! Hoping to putting out 4 a year! I’m writing the first one myself, but every subsequent book will have a co author! If you have topic ideas you want to see, or want to be a co author, send an email to micropeas@peaslovencarrots.com K get make dinner! I love you all and I hope you’re as excited about this as I am! ...

THE PINEAPPLEIEST 🍍 EVEEEEEEEER!Summer time mean bbq time. So next your at there grilling pop a whole, unpeeled pineapple right in the corner to char away! With no actual effort you will be rewarded with the most amped up delicious pineapple of life! The natural sugars in the pineapple boil away to create an almost candy like pineapple!

You can dice the pineapple and serve it over sorbet, a slice of pound cake, even add it to your margaritas (mmmmm!) or use it to make the absolutely most delicious condiment ever… pineapple salsa! Serve the salsa over grilled chicken or fish, top your tacos with it, along side grilled steak… anyway! It’s sweet, a tiny hint of spice, savory and just the right amount of tartness! Make a double batch because it gets better as it sits! #recipe1 charred pineapple, peeled and diced (reserve juices!)1 Thai chile, minced1 shallot, minced1/2 c cilantro leaves, chopped1 tsp kosher saltJuice of 1-2 limes (depending how juicy they are)Put everything in a bowl and mix to combine! #pineapple #salsa #recipes #bbq #barbecue #summerrecipes #summervibes ...
