What's Cookin?

@AGK I hope those aren't the same meatballs you feed your dogs!!!

 

Lol no they aren't. I buy them at a place here called international bakery in little italy. Which should have the name changed to little Bosnia these days lol..

 

I can acually make my own as I lived with my grandmother in my late teens and early 20s. She's full blooded Sicilian and can make just about anything. I don't got all day like she does though so I just buy mine. Same with the sauce.

Lol she talks shit to me about it when I say I don't have time to make my own sauce and Meatballs. Old Italian nanas have no chill or political correctness in them. Brain to mouth lol.

My family owns an Italian restaurant and bar here called Nunzis. I grew up eating so much wop food I can't eat it often anymore. Lol.

 

Erie, where I am from, has a huge food scene. It's about all there is to do here other than bars and bowling. Lol.
Most everyone is a fat ass pig here and they all wear yoga pants.

 

I already forgot what this one is called.

 

Sorry for the shitty picture because it doesn't do it justice. It's the kind of nug that just sticks to your finger out of the jar.

 

Looks amazing..never heard of Southwest Chicken Soup.but I fancy cooking some!...and I like my soups more like stews,,thicker a bit....I been making quit a bit lately.Leek and Potato Soup.(very simple no skill at all to make lol,very cheap to)with sliced chicken breast(skin on)garlic salt,black pepper,garlic granules,onion granules,sweet paprika,touch of tyme,rubbed on the breast..dump the chicken breast on the top of the soup.and on the side curly kale and a mix of peti pois peas and sweet corn....I make the soup rather thick or lumpy.rustic......it's a easy meal to make,quick,cheap,rustic,healthy....

My shit head computer won't let me down load pics so can't show you it lol.

 

How are they made???...Sicilian meatballs???...they sound like the real deal.....do they put Veal and pork in the meatballs in Sicily???...or just pork???......I'm guessing fennel and garlic go in to the mix to???........Sicilian Meatballs...sounds awesome!!!

 

What's sazongoya???

 

It's a Mexican seasoning. Kicks up stews!

 

@Soze the killer I love leeks, I have used them in my soups a few times lately. Yours sounds delicious!

 

Ha,ha,YJJ.......all I use is butter.leeks.potatos......start the leeks of in the butter(salted butter).when they soft.add chopped potatoes.and pour in some chicken stock.(any,,,,but I use organic low salt chicken stock cubes..better to use water of boiled chicken to.but kettle water will do!.lol)..cover slightly with the stock.boil.cover.simmer until done....when done season with salt and pepper and Worcester sause.....that's it!..no cream in the soup..but drizzle some on the top before serving.if you got it in the fridge.if you aint,tough shit!lol....put the chicken breast chopped up on the top,and the veggies on the side.......it's that easy to make i been eating a bit to much of it lately.lol.........and YJJ,,Mexican seasoning in a stew???..sounds crazy lol.sounds nice tho...you folks got the craziest,,but by far the best food ideas!......speaking of crazy,,....I make the craziest chicken leek and Potato bake..made in a Welsh rearbit sauce..but instead of stout or dark ale,,I use a very light ale...and instead of cheddar I use Caerphilly cheese...and I pack the sauce with Tarragon.....it's crazy,but it's good!......ide like some of you folks to take my recipe and try it..I think this is my creation.lol....but YJJ..make some,it's good.chicken leek potato bake.in a Welsh rarebit sauce.......

 

would that be good in a Chilli Concarne???.....Chilli Cocarne with sour cream,some medium cheddar on the top..and corn bread.now that's a good meal...ha,ha,I'm hungry now lol..............
And after dinner(witch is the soup I just said)...I got some Super Lemon Haze......YIS

 

It's good on pretty much anything...

 

It's just a regular Meatball. Has Hamburger and Veal mixed. Add salt,pepper,garlic, oregano and parsley. Bread Crums and an Egg or 2. A splash of water. About it. Then you pan fry them till light brown in olive oil and minced garlic.

When they're done, Throw them in the sauce to finish cooking.

The only difference in how I make them and my grandmother is she puts shredded eggplant in hers.

 

Wow.shredded egg plant and mince garlic in the oil...I bet there very nice.....Italian or Sicilian has got to be the most harty food the world over.always full after you eat it,never room for more....and the passion and love they put into there cooking..I truly believe if you can't cook with love you can't cook at all..I no this because sometimes I just can't be arsed cooking,and when I feel like this the food comes out rubbish.lol.....if I try a little bit,it normally comes out ok.lol...

 

Like AGK said that seasoning is so good on everything. I mainly use it in red meat dishes but I'm telling you that chicken soup yesterday was LEGIT!

I'll give one of your recipes a go when I get time and report back!

Thanks to Bama I make some great homemade cornbread now!

 

Lol..don't do bread making I'm afraid..no time....but I do get a proper nice cornbread....not sure what's in it??....erm it's yellow.corn gritz,black pepper,and some other herbs and spices I think?....is that how they made over your ways???.........I gotta say this one I get is one of my favourite breads.it's proper legit......but alas!!!...I don't no what a proper legit cornbread is!..lol....I just seen this one in the super market and ever since I eat it with nearly everything lol......but goes well with chilli..and tomato soup..and with melted cheese on it...and I'll shut up now.lol
Great thread.

 

I get two cornbreads now I think...the other ones got bits of red pepper and jalapeno in...and it's rather hot/spicy..nice, but I prefer the other one...they both yellow,the other one not hot.

 

Wish I read this before I made dinner already. Now I want some cornbread...

I settled with my daughter tonight and made baked sweet n sour seaseme chicken with chicken rice and green beans.




Looks like slop, shit was bangin though.

Dessert will be left over jungle cake.
