 🍨 🍨 Pistachio Gelato Recipe 🍨 🍨

Ingredients

1 cup shelled pistachios

3/4 cup granulated sugar

2 cups whole milk

1 cup heavy cream

4 egg yolks

1 tsp vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

Extra chopped pistachios for garnish

Instructions⤵️

Prep the Pistachios: In a food processor, finely grind the pistachios with 1/4 cup of sugar until it forms a coarse paste. Or you can use pistachio paste from the store.

Heat the Milk & Cream: In a saucepan, combine the whole milk and heavy cream. Heat over medium heat until it just begins to simmer.

Whisk the Yolks: In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, remaining 1/2 cup sugar, and a pinch of salt until the mixture is pale and thick.

Temper the Eggs: Gradually pour the hot milk mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from curdling.

Cook the Mixture: Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Do not let it boil.

Add Pistachio Paste: Remove from heat and stir in the pistachio paste and vanilla extract until well combined.

Chill: Pour the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl to remove any lumps. Let it cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.

Churn the Gelato: Once chilled, churn the mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.

Freeze: Transfer the gelato to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 2 hours, or until firm.

Serve & Enjoy: Scoop the gelato into bowls and garnish with extra chopped pistachios. Serve immediately and enjoy the nutty, creamy goodness!

Pro Tip: For an extra flavor boost, lightly toast the pistachios before grinding them into a paste!

Oklahoma Fried Onion Burgers 😋

 

Oklahoma Fried Onion Burgers 

Ingredients:

1 large onion, peeled, halved and thinly sliced

salt and pepper

1 lb ground beef

1 tablespoon butter

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

4-8 slices American cheese

Mayo, mustard and pickles, for serving

4 hamburger buns, toasted

Combine the onion slices and 1 teaspoon of salt in a bowl and toss to combine. Transfer the onions to a colander and let sit for 30 minutes, tossing occasionally. Transfer the onions to a clean dish towel, gather the edges together and squeeze out as much liquid as you can from the onions. Do this over the sink or a large bowl since the onions will have quite a bit of liquid in them.

Divide the onions into 4 separate mounds on a rimmed baking sheet. Form the beef into 4 lightly packed balls. Place the beef balls on top of the onion mounds and flatten the beef firmly (use your palm) so the onion adheres to the beef. The patties should measure 4 inches in diameter. Season the beef generously with salt and pepper.

Melt the butter with the oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Using a large spatula, transfer the patties to the skillet, onion side down. Cook for 6-8 minutes, until the onions turn a deep golden brown and begin to crisp around the edges. Flip the burgers, then increase the heat to high and cook until well browned on the second side, about 2 minutes.

Add 1 or 2 slices of cheese to each burger and allow to melt. Add mayo, mustard and pickles to the top buns, then place each burger on a bottom buns. Serve immediately.

Brush the grill with olive oil and place the steaks over direct heat. Grill for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired doneness.

While the steaks are grilling, prepare the Thai chili sauce by mixing the sweet chili sauce, lime juice, soy sauce, fish sauce, and chopped red chili in a small bowl.
