You may have seen a few recipes here for quiche, but I don't think I've ever really emphasized how important it is to blind bake the crust. If the crust is not blind-baked before, the quiche will be runny and the crust will be soft and raw tasting. If you've had quiche and didn't like it, that's probably why.
Clam dip is easy to make for your next gathering using a Braun food processor. Forget about sore arms. It's perfect every time!
These tender barbeque ribs are made in the Instant Pot, so they are quick to make and very tender. You don't need hours and hours to enjoy a summer favorite.
This was something that I kind of threw together at the last moment, and it turned out to be quite tasty and easy to make. It's the month of Italian, and risotto is a traditional Italian dish made from arborio rice. Curry is Indian, but I'm sure Marco Polo probably brought the spice back to Italy from his year-long stay in India, so this is fusion cuisine. Please enjoy this easy to make Curried Chicken Risotto with your own garnishes.
Pork is strange meat. If you cook it too long, it turns out like tough sawdust. If you don't cook it enough, you could be chewing for hours and get sick on top of it. Since loin of pork has very little of its own fat to keep it moist, it's important to find that sweet spot where the pork turns out safely cooked and tender. Pan searing is a good way to go.
When you grind your own meat, you get the benefit of making Steak Tartare, chilled raw beef with your preferred garnishes.
You will really like this. It's so easy to make, quick and even people who don't like fish will like this. What makes this recipe really pop is having both fresh tomatoes and sun-dried tomatoes. You can use whatever pasta you prefer.
Spicy Tuna Dip is my take on the famous Carlos and Pepe's tuna dip. You can make it as spicy as you want. Enjoy it with chips and a margarita.
You will be absolutely amazed at how easy it is to have fresh butter just using your food processor. If you have a Braun food processor, even better because it has a variable speed that makes the job even easier. All you need is a food processor and cream - that's it! For your troubles, you get butter and buttermilk that you can use for scones or biscuits, pancakes, Red Velvet Cake, or other recipes that require buttermilk. This is real buttermilk with little bits of butter in it - not the stuff they sell at the supermarket - this is real buttermilk.
I started making barbecue sauce a couple of years ago when I ran out of storebought and didn't feel like going to the store to get more. How hard could it be? So, I've been working on this sauce and this is just the way we like it. I think you might like it, too. It's sweet from brown sugar, honey, and molasses, and it's sour from red wine and apple cider vinegar, and it's hot from several types of chili. I'm going to put this on our Nesco Baby Back Ribs, but it's also great on Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Chicken, or anything else you want a sweet and sour hot barbecue sauce.
