Mother Fucker. Food Eater
Made up a batch of sausage/cheese balls this morning. More cheese than I have been tending to eat lately; but it’s a Holiday! My mom always made them with Bisquick, which is a nono for me, so I substituted almond flour. 1 lb extra hot pork sausage 1 lb grated sharp cheddar 1.5-2 cups almond meal. Mix thoroughly, shape into balls and place on a foil covered cookie sheet. Preheat oven to 350 and bake for 15-18 minutes. Yum. My House, NC
.. Tibetan Cheese Soup called Churu. I made it before and it was pretty damn good. Here’s the ingredients for it:
- ½ onion, chopped
oil for frying
1 tomato
1 jalapeño chili
2 tablespoons blue cheese or Churu (which is a Tibetan Pungent cheese)
¼ lb. chopped beef
¼ teaspoon paprika (optional)
¼ teaspoon garlic, chopped
¼ teaspoon fresh ginger, chopped
¼ teaspoon ground emma (Sichuan pepper)
5 cups water
¼ cup cornstarch
All of this is well and good, but for the cornstarch and the fact that it is a lot more liquid than meat. So i decided to flip it around and make what i am calling Tibetan Taco meat (even though I didn’t put it on tortillas)
I used:
½-1 onion chopped
1 Lb Ground Bison
a bunch of garlic
a bit of ginger
smoked paprika
smoked black pepper
sricicha (instead of jalapeno)
Szechuan Pepper
several ounces of blue cheese
1 welll drained can of diced tomatoes (i like the roasted ones with garlic)
Butter
Saute the onions in good butter until soft/translucent in a big skillet
add garlic
mix sriracha and szechuan pepper into meat
add meat to skillet
add ginger, paprika, pepper, more szechuan pepper etc
brown meat (adding more sriracha and garlic as needed)
keep stirring, mixing with spatula
add drained diced tomatoes
allow some of the juice to cook out, keep stirring
add blue cheese
mix in as the cheese melts
serve
