Instructions :

Dough:

1. In a sizable bowl, combine flour and salt.
2. Introduce cold, cubed butter. Integrate it into the flour using two forks, a pastry blender, or even your fingers until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
3. In a separate bowl, mix water with one egg yolk. Gradually introduce this to your flour blend. Combine until the flour is fully incorporated.
4. Transfer the dough onto a clean surface. Knead until it binds well.
5. Wrap the dough using cling film and let it chill for a minimum of 30 minutes.

Filling:

1. On medium-high heat, season the beef with salt and pepper, and brown it in a large skillet. Once done, transfer it to a bowl.
2. In the same skillet, toss in potatoes, onions, and carrots. Cook until they soften. If necessary, introduce some olive oil or butter.
3. Incorporate garlic, rosemary, and thyme. Cook for another minute.
4. Splash in the Worcestershire sauce and cook for an additional minute.
5. Combine this mixture with the beef. Season appropriately and allow it to cool.

Assembly:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F. Prep a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Flour your surface and segregate the dough into 6 portions. Roll them into 3/8-inch thick circles. Trim any excess edges if required.
3. Wet the dough’s edges with water. Spoon the beef filling onto the dough, ensuring to leave a half-inch border.
4. Fold the dough over the filling and seal by crimping the edges or pressing with a fork.
5. Shift the pasty onto the baking sheet. Ensure to make three small slits atop each for venting.
6. Blend the remaining egg yolk with 2 tablespoons of water. Brush this over each pasty. Bake them until they achieve a golden brown hue, which should take 30-40 minutes.

Note: To freeze some pasties, avoid the egg wash and bake them for just 20 minutes. When you’re ready, apply the egg wash to the frozen pasty, and bake at 400°F for an additional 20 minutes.

As always the key to great cooking is preparation and quality ingredients.

Most people are too intimated to try to cook chitterling on their own. But with the instructions that follow on how to cook chitterlings you’ll be okay.Where to find Chitlins & Hog Maws

1. You can find chitterlings and hog maws at your local grocery store. They are usually found with the frozen foods and come in 5 or 10 pound buckets or plastic. It will take several hours to thaw out your frozen chitlins. The hog maws come in packages and are also usually frozen. The hog maws are very tough, so it’s a good idea to cook them while you’re cleaning your chitlins.
2. To prepare the hog maws for cooking rinse them in water and trim away excessive fat. Place your hog maws into a 6 quart cooking pot. Fill the pot with water to the half way point. Bring the water to boil over medium-high heat, reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 1 hour. Don’t let the water cook out, add additionally water if necessary.

3. A good technique is to work out of both sides of your sink. Soak your chitlins in one side and clean and rinse in the other side of your sink. Once you have cleaned a chitlin place it in the container that it came out of.
4. After all chitlins are cleaned they must be run through several changes of cold water. Just fill your sink with enough water to cover the chitlins. The chitlins should be washed until the water is nearly clear when they are removed.
5. Now that wasn’t so hard was it? Okay now that the chitlins are cleaned and the hog maws have cooked a little. It’s time to finish up this tasty recipe.
6. Place your chitlins into the pot with the hog maws and fill with water. Bring to full boil, and then add chopped onion, salt, red pepper and vinegar. Reduce heat and simmer for 3-5 hours until meat is tender to your liking. Add more water if necessary.
7. Once the chitlins and hog maws have tendered remove from heat. Using a cutting board and knife, cut the chitlins and hog maws into 1 inch thick pieces. Serve on a bed of rice or with spaghetti.

Honey Teriyaki Ribs

 

Ingredients:

For the smoker

3 large handfuls cherry wood chips

For the five-spice rub

 3 tablespoons packed dark brown sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons five spice powder

For the honey teriyaki ribs

Three (2 1/2-to 3-pound) racks meaty baby back ribs

For the honey teriyaki glaze

1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
3 tablespoons peeled, finely chopped fresh ginger
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
2/3 cup honey
1/3 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
 2 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
1 tablespoon chili-garlic sauce, such as store-bought or homemade Sriracha
1 tablespoon cornstarch dissolved in 3 tablespoons cold waterctions:

Instructions :

Soak the chips for the smoker

Fill a medium bowl with water and toss in the wood chips. Let soak for 30 minutes.

Make the five-spice rub

In a small bowl combine all the ingredients.

Prep the ribs

Remove the membrane from the racks by using a dull knife and sliding the tip under the membrane that covers the back of each rib rack. Holding a paper towel in your hand, grip the membrane at one end of the slab of ribs and tug. It usually pulls right off.

Season the racks with about 1 1/2 tablespoons rub per rack, being sure to put more of it on the meaty side of each rack and less on the bone side.

Make the honey teriyaki glaze

In a skillet over medium heat, warm the oil. Add the ginger, garlic, and sesame seeds and cook, stirring often, until fragrant and softened, 2 to 3 minutes.

Add the honey, soy sauce, vinegar, and chili-garlic sauce, bring to a simmer, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes.

Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil.

Stir the cornstarch mixture to recombine. Slowly stir the cornstarch mixture into the skillet while whisking constantly. Boil until thickened, still whisking, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat.

Grill the ribs

Before lighting the grill, drain the wood chips and add them to the smoker box. (If you don’t have a built-in smoker box, set the box you are using under the cooking grate directly over a burner off to one side of the grill. If it won’t fit, place it on top of the cooking grate off to one side over the burner.)

Prepare the grill for indirect cooking on high heat (450° to 550°F | 232° to 288°C).

When smoke appears, lower the temperature to low (275° to 300°F | 135° to 149°C). Place the rib racks, bone side down, on the cooking grates over indirect heat.

 TESTER TIP: To avoid charred ribs, keep the racks over indirect heat the entire time. Don’t be tempted to hurry things by sneaking them to the direct side. You’ll thank us later.

Close the lid and cook, keeping the temperature 275° to 300°F (135° to 149°C), until tender, about 2 1/2 hours.

During the last 20 to 25 minutes of grilling, generously baste the racks with the reserved glaze every 5 to 10 minutes.

Remove the racks from the grill and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Slice the racks between the bones. Pile the individual ribs on a platter and pass the remaining glaze on the side.
