Quick Cook: Grilled Teriyaki Pork Skewers

May 25, 2015 By WooPigFoodie Leave a Comment

Nicely Charred Pork Skewer

This is one of my favorite recipes ever. It combines my frugal side by using up leftover trimmings from my ribs or inexpensive cuts of pork from the market, with my “check out this awesome grilling recipe” side, and results in a terrifically flavorful, soy sauce-and-honey charred dinner that everyone will love. It is fast…

How to Make Homemade Sausage

May 17, 2015 By WooPigFoodie Leave a Comment

Making Italian Sausage

I recently took a great sausage making class over at my local butcher shop, Butcher & Public. The class was great for so many reasons. First, because it gave me up close and personal face time with a really good sausage maker, so I could ask a million questions and really learn the “ins and…

The Very Best Eggplant Parmesan, Ever. (This is also great with veal or chicken!)

January 2, 2015 By WooPigFoodie Leave a Comment

Eggplant Parmesan

There’s a really famous Italian restaurant in New York City called Rao’s. They have been there for over 100 years, and only have 12 tables. It’s very, very hard to get a reservation because the families that have reservations have them each week, and pass them down to their kin. So I’ve never eaten there….

Baba Ghanoush (Cooking the Book: Jerusalem)

December 28, 2014 By WooPigFoodie Leave a Comment

The finished dish

As you may know, Mrs. WooPigFoodie is a vegetarian. At the holidays each year, I buy her a cookbook or two that looks like it might have good vegetarian recipes, and have her pick a bunch of recipes for me to make for her. (True love.) This year, I picked up Jerusalem by Yotam Ottolenghi…

Hickory Smoked Tofu with Sautéed Baby Spinach

September 1, 2014 By WooPigFoodie 2 Comments

Hickory Smoked Tofu with Sauteed Baby Spinach

Mrs. WooPigFoodie is a vegetarian, so that means I am “mostly” vegetarian. But I love my smoker and my grill for my non-vegetarian meals (like making real barbecue ribs). Over time, I have learned how to make really tasty and flavorful vegetarian meals on my grill, including my Grilled Veggies and my Oaxacan Grilled Corn….

Southern Shrimp Boil

August 14, 2014 By WooPigFoodie Leave a Comment

Red Royal Shrimp

It’s summer, and we are finally on vacation. We’ve turned off the cell phones, closed out of the email, turned up the beach music, and are raising some cold beverages. The stress is melting away, as each wave crashes upon the shore. We are on the Gulf of Mexico, in one of our favorite places—Orange…

Roasted Smashed Potatoes

August 3, 2014 By WooPigFoodie Leave a Comment

Roasted Smashed Potatoes

I love going to the farmers market because I always learn new ways to cook with fresh produce. This weekend I learned how to make these roasted smashed potatoes. They are so easy, and are really delicious. They combine the tastes and textures of crispy roasted potatoes, with creamy, buttery mashed potatoes. They’re simple to…

Number 1 Chili

August 1, 2014 By WooPigFoodie Leave a Comment

Spices in the Pot

I call this my Number 1 Chili because there’s nothing second rate about this. It is really fabulous. Rich and meaty, with a nice deep heat that doesn’t overpower it, and with plenty of beans, onions, celery and green pepper. It’s a one pot meal, and is quick. It takes about 45 minutes to make,…

Quick & Easy Weeknight Enchiladas – The Master Recipe

July 21, 2014 By WooPigFoodie 2 Comments

Here’s our master recipe for enchiladas. We call this one “Weeknight” Enchiladas because it is a quick and easy recipe (see the end for the recipe!), and if you do the chopping ahead of time it can be rolled and heated up during a busy work week (or even reheated if made ahead). Best of…

On Grilled Veggies

June 23, 2014 By WooPigFoodie Leave a Comment

Grilled Asparagus

Mrs. WPF is a vegetarian, so we start most meals with a great big salad. But when summer comes, I like to switch out colds salads for warm grilled veggies. This is my master recipe. It works for any type of vegetable. Good grilling veggies are those that have a firmer texture. I often make these with…

Red Wine Braised Chicken

May 19, 2014 By WooPigFoodie 2 Comments

  You could use breast meat for this, but I don’t know why you would.  Life is short. Dark meat tastes better. Live the dream.   It all started with freezer chicken. No one really likes freezer chicken; least of all me. But I bought too much on a sale at the store, and froze a few…

The Thing About Fried Pickles

The thing about fried pickles is that you know they’re going to be hot. And you know that little cup of ranch dressing isn’t going to do it. You’re going to burn your mouth, your hands, and have hot vinegary dill pickle juice streaming down your chin and dripping onto the table. That’s just the way it is. And you don’t care. So you dive in, and burn yourself good. And it’s fantastic.
