Irish Nachos – Delish (Video)

Golden and crispy potatoes piled high with tender corned beef and amazing toppings these Irish Nachos make the perfect appetizer for St. Patrick’s Day! ! I found this recipe on Delish, and I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again – Delish has a TON of amazing recipes, including the one I’m featuring today! I gave their unlimited membership a try last year, so I am speaking from my own (read: they are not paying me for this review) experiences. The membership cost me $20 for the year, and it includes a wonderful year-long subscription to their quarterly magazine filled with delicious (and easy!) recipes, unlimited access to Delish recipes, members-only access to a one-on-one hotline to ask for help from their food editors, and other wonderful bonuses. You can learn more about their membership here; this is a code I found online, as I believe the normal cost is $35/year, but this code looks like you can still get it for $20/year, which is great! I have found it to be extremely useful, although I have not yet taken advantage of their hotline – yet.

For this recipe, I used my handy-dandy Deluxe Multi Cooker  to make the corned beef, and my Half Sheet Pan & Baking Rack Set to roast the potatoes.

Deluxe Multi Cooker

Pressure Cooker, Sous Vide Cooker, Slow Cooker, Yogurt Maker, and Sterilizer

Our pressure cooker offers so many ways to get a delicious meal on the table with minimal effort and perfect results, every time. In addition to quick cooking—fast, flavorful meals cooked up to 70% faster than other methods even from frozen—and no-fuss slow cooking so it does it thing while you’re doing yours, you can sous vide, the secret to restaurant-quality steaks, fish, and more. With sous vide, you pick the temperature, and it cooks to the exact doneness you love, every time! No more under-cooked centers and overcooked outsides. After your food reaches your perfect doneness, it can stay put for up to two hours without overcooking, giving you lots of wiggle room for serving. Plus, there is a yogurt function so you can make homemade yogurt with just two ingredients and less than 5 minutes of hands-on time, and you can even sterilize bottles and utensils. All of this without ever turning on the oven!

Confident Cooking

With 16 preprogrammed settings at your fingertips, you can cook everything from meat, rice, and beans to desserts minus the guesswork. Some added features include an indicator that shows at-a-glance progress of preheating, cooking, and warming so you always know the status of what you’re making and two lid rest slots on the back so you can securely rest the lid on the Deluxe Multi Cooker instead of your counter. The steam release button is safely positioned to keep your hands away from any steam and the outside of the unit stays cool even while in use.

Ingredients

For Corned Beef

  • 2-3 pounds corned beef
  • 1/3 cup Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoon packed brown sugar
  • 12 ounces Guinness Stout
  • 4 pounds medium Yukon gold potatoes, cut into 1/2″ thick rounds
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Kosher salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup shredded yellow cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded white cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 (15-oz.) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
  • Pickled jalapeños for garnish
  • Freshly chopped chives for garnish

Instructions

For the Corned Beef:

In a small bowl, combine mustard and brown sugar. Brush all over corned beef brisket.

Place corned beef in steamer basket of the Deluxe Multi Cooker with Guiness Stout, set to CUSTOM, 90 minutes. Press button to start. Once timer goes off, allow pressure to naturally release for 10 minutes.  Press steam button to release any additional pressure, and remove corned beef to cutting board.

Allow corned beef to rest an additional 10 minutes, then shred.

For the Potatoes

Wash potatoes, then slice, unpeeled, into 1/2″ thick rounds. Place slices into a large pot of cold water, ensuring that they are cover completely.  Bring to a boil over high heat. Boil only until just tender, about 5 minutes.  To test this, inserting a knife into the middle of a potato should meet with a bit of resistance.  Drain and dry on baking rack or with paper towels.

Preheat oven to 425°F/220⁰C.

Line two sheet pans with foil. Place potatoes in a single layer divided evenly between both pans.  Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with oregano, garlic, salt and pepper, coating both sides of potatoes.

Bake for 30 minutes, or until golden and crisp.

One on of the sheet pans, bring the potatoes together in a mound.  Top with half of both cheeses, red onion, beans, and shredded corned beef. Top with potatoes from the other tray, adding remaining cheese, red onions, beans, and corned beef. Place tray back in oven and bake an additional 5 minutes, until cheese is melted.

Combine sour cream and horseradish in a small bowl.

Remove nachos from oven, and top with dollops of sour cream, pickled jalapeños, and chives.

Pistachio Crusted Salmon – Aubrey’s Kitchen (Video)

Level up your weeknight salmon dinner with this delicious recipe from Aubrey’s Kitchen.  You can learn more about Aubrey here.  Only six ingredients, and you’ll have a scrumptious and beautiful dinner on the table in 30 minutes, which is definitely my kind of dinner!

For this recipe, I used my Medium Stone Bar Pan:

 Perfect When Cooking for Two

This pan is just the right size for packaged brownie and bar cookie mixes, biscuits, delicious dinners for two, roasting vegetables, or reheating leftovers that are better than ever. Plus, it fits in most toaster ovens. Because the unglazed cooking surface draws moisture away, your baked goods, breads, and frozen foods turn out light and crispy every time. The new handle design makes it easy to take in and out of the oven.

Natural Clay Cookware

Our unglazed stoneware is made with our new StoneFusion material making it our strongest and most durable stoneware yet. You can pre-heat, broil, and even put it in the dishwasher. Each piece features a ribbon pattern, so you can easily distinguish it from your original unglazed stones. Like all our stones, you can use it to make your favorite baked goods, frozen foods, or reheated leftovers that are just as good or better than day one. And it only gets better with age. A nonstick seasoning will develop as you use it—the darker it looks, the better it cooks!

Herb Crusted Pork Roast With Port Wine Sauce – The Modern Proper (Video)

Holly and Natalie are the two friends who created The Modern Proper blog.  You can learn more about them here, and believe me, you’ll love not only their recipes, but they concept behind their blog.  For me, hospitality is so important, and it goes hand in hand with food. 

 I made this using my Food Chopper to chop the garlic, herbs and whole peppercorns, along with my Enameled Cast Iron Skillet with Lid:

Food Chopper

One of our most popular kitchen tools, the Food Chopper makes quick work of chopping veggies, cooked meat, and nuts in seconds. It’s the solution to tear-free onion chopping! It’s equipped with a unique stainless-steel blade that rotates with each press of the plunger for consistent results. The more you press the plunger, the finer the chop. 

Enameled Cast Iron Skillet with Lid

Braising Pan and Skillet in One

Meet the perfect combination of skillet and Dutch oven. With a wide cooking surface, shallow sides, and oven-to-table design, whether a busy weeknight or relaxing weekend, you can braise, bake, sauté, simmer, or roast whatever’s on the menu. The self-basting lid adds juices back into whatever you’re cooking for added moisture and flavor.

This classic gray skillet has a light-colored enameled interior, which means you can start using it right away—no seasoning required—and it lets you easily see food browning so you can avoid scorching it. With the durability of cast iron comes a certain weightiness. But not to worry—this skillet has two sturdy handles to help you lift and carry dishes from the oven right to your dinner table. Plus, cast iron’s excellent heat retention means that food stays hot and delicious even if not everyone makes it to the table as soon as dinner’s ready.

Ingredients

  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 2 tbsp freshly chopped rosemary
  • 2 tbsp freshly chopped thyme
  • 2 tbsp whole black peppercorns
  • 2 lbs. pork tenderloin
  • Kosher salt
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

For the Port Wine Sauce

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium shallot, chopped
  • 1 cup port wine
  • 4-5 whole peppercorns
  • 1 sprig rosemary
  • 4 tbsp cold butter

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F/190⁰C.

Chop first four ingredients with the Food Chopper.

Remove any silver skin from tenderloins, pat dry.  Using your hand, rub the garlic mixture over pork tenderloin, then season with salt to taste. 

Heat oil in skillet over high heat until shimmering, then add in tenderloins, searing on all sides to brown.  Place skillet in oven and bake approximately 15-20 minutes, or until pork reaches an internal temperature of 140⁰F/60⁰C.

Remove pork from skillet, and tent with foil on cutting board.

Add one tablespoon of oil to skillet over medium heat, and add in shallots; sauté just until tender, about 2-3 minutes. Add in port wine, rosemary sprig and peppercorns, and bring to a boil, scraping the bottom to release any browned bits.  Reduce heat to low, and simmer until liquid is reduced by half.  Remove from heat, and in butter and whisk to incorporate. 

Strain the sauce if necessary (I did not find it to be) and serve on the side with the sliced tenderloin.

That’s it!  I hope that you’ll give this a try, and please leave a comment to let me know what you think about this recipe.  I would love to hear from you. Let’s make great food together!

Crispy Leaf Potatoes – Rasa Malaysia (Video)

I love it when I come across a recipe during my research that is not only incredibly simple, but also delicious and will dress up any table, no matter what the occasion.  These crispy leaf potatoes from Bee over at Rasa Malaysia are just such a recipe! You can learn more about Bee and her blog here. I’m only surprised that I had not heard of her before, she appears to be pretty famous! 

I cut the recipe down for our family by two thirds, and I used my 2- Qt. Enameled Cast Iron Baker AND, of course, the Rapid-Prep Mandoline:

Rapid-Prep Mandoline

Upright Mandoline

Our Rapid-Prep Mandoline lets you safely slice, dice, julienne, and french-fry cut fruits and veggies in seconds. Simply select your cut, adjust its thickness from 8 thickness settings, and get prepping. Our mandoline’s stainless-steel blade cuts through tough veggies, so you can transform a variety of ingredients into beautiful slices.

And, you can cut ingredients with confidence—our mandoline is designed to safely keep hands clear of blades. When you’ve finished prepping, you can store the food chute and food pusher in the food catch tray and fold it flat, though you’ll use it so often, you may want to leave it on your counter!

2- Qt. Enameled Cast Iron Baker

Enameled cast iron is the kind of cookware that will become a fixture at every special meal you bake—and that includes weeknight meals. This baker is beautiful so it’s ready to go directly from your stove (including induction) or oven to your table. You’ll reach for it again and again because it’s low maintenance and versatile.

This baker has a light-colored enameled interior which means you can start using it right away—no seasoning required—and it lets you easily see food browning so you can avoid scorching it. Cast iron’s excellent heat retention means that food stays hot and delicious even if not everyone makes it to the table as soon as dinner’s ready. 

Heat-safe up to 500°F (260°C), this pan is perfect for baking sides like vegetable casseroles, corn pudding, and stuffing.​ Its wide, shallow design makes lots of surface area for bubbly, cheesy browning in the oven. And, its shape lets you easily scrape food down the sides of the pan or flip food with a spatula. Say hello to perfect Scalloped Potatoes!

With the cooking traditions and durability of cast iron comes a certain weightiness. But not to worry—our bakers have two sturdy handles to help you lift and carry dishes from the oven right to your dinner table.

Product Details

  • Dishwasher safe for easy clean-up. Because the rim around the edge of the cast iron isn’t enameled, we recommend hand drying the baker when the cycle is finished to prevent rusting.

This pan makes 24 mini brownies from a standard brownie mix, but this pan isn’t just for brownies. Mini muffins, cutie corn breads, and petite pound cakes are just the beginning of what you could do with this pan.

Mini-sized treats aren’t just cute, they’re a great size for kids or anyone who wants to satisfy their sweet tooth while still keeping portion sizes small.

This heavy-duty carbon steel pan holds up to all the baking you’ll want to do in it. And, the nonstick surface makes it easy to remove your baked goods and makes hand washing it feel effortless.

So, whatever you’re baking, make it mini and its fun factor goes up 100%.

This is such a cute pan and you can use it for so many recipes.  Click here to get yours today, you’ll be glad you did. 

Let’s jump right in!

Ingredients

  • Canola oil, to brush or spray pan
  • Flour, for surface to roll out dough
  • ½ cup whole berry cranberry sauce (homemade or canned)
  • ¼ cup chopped pecans
  • 6 sprigs rosemary, cut into 1” pieces

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F/190⁰C (350°F/175⁰C if using the Brownie Bite Pan or any darker pan). Cut brie into small pieces, chop pecans, and cut rosemary into 1-inch pieces.

Brush or spray pan lightly with oil.

Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface, and pinch the seams together, use Pizza cutter to cut into 24 squares.  Place squares into Brownie Bite Pan or other small muffin tin.

Bake 15 minutes, or until crescent dough is golden brown. Remove from the oven, serve immediately.

Perfect Roast Turkey – Ina Garten (Video)

Crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside, this recipe from Ina Garten and Food Network is the perfect way to make your turkey – so you can truly enjoy the day with those you love. 

This is the first time I’ve made this turkey, as I have been very loyal to my other recipe since 1997.  I can honestly say that this recipe is just as good and, due to the fact that there is substantially less prep work, this one I will definitely keep making!

I used my Enameled Cast Iron Pan to roast my turkey – it was perfect in every way!!

14 x 10 (35-cm x 25-cm) Enameled Cast Iron Pan

The Perfect Cast Iron Roasting Pan for Big Meals

This pan will be your secret weapon for special occasions and everyday meals, because it’s like two pans in one: A 3.5″ (9-cm) deep lasagna pan for big batches of family favorites, and a cast iron pan with rack for roast, chicken, and turkey dinners.

The stainless-steel rack lets air circulate around big cuts of meat for even cooking, and the handles sit high so they’re easy to grab and fold for storage. The high sides are great for baked pasta, lasagna, and casseroles, and keep your food from bubbling over. With the durability of cast iron comes a certain weightiness. But not to worry—this pan has two sturdy handles to help you lift and carry from the oven right to your dinner table.

About Enameled Cast Iron

Enameled cast iron is the kind of cookware that will become a fixture at every special meal you make—and that includes weeknight meals. The light enameled exterior means you can start using it right away—no seasoning required—and you can see food browning, so you can avoid scorching it. The beautifully enameled exterior lets you bring this cookware right from the stove or oven to the table, and cast iron’s excellent heat retention means food stays hot and delicious—even if not everyone makes it to the table as soon as dinner’s ready.
