Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
1 teaspoon pickle juice
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 large onions (thin sliced)
12 ounces 85/15 ground beef
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
8 slices rye bread
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 swiss cheese slices
4 cheddar cheese slices

Steps:

  • In a bowl, add mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, pickle juice, paprika, and garlic powder. Mix until smooth. Set aside.
  • In a skillet over medium-low heat, add olive oil. When warm, add onions to pan and cook until softened and deep golden brown, about 25-30 minutes. (If onions begin to dry out or look like they're going to burn, add a splash of water to the pan and reduce the heat slightly.) Remove from heat and set aside.
  • In a bowl, add ground beef, salt, pepper, and worcestershire sauce. Mix to combine and form into four thin, oblong patties (shape patties to match the shape of your bread). In a skillet over medium heat, add patties and cook until browned on both sides. Remove from heat and set aside. Wipe out any excess grease from the pan.
  • Butter one side of each piece of bread. In a skillet over medium heat, layer your sandwiches as so: one slice of bread (buttered side down), one slice of swiss cheese, beef patty, caramelized onions, secret sauce, slice of cheddar cheese, and one slice of bread (buttered side up). Cook until golden brown on the bottom, flip, and cook until golden brown on the opposite side (this should take 1-2 minutes per side).

RIGATONI AL SEGRETO (RIGATONI WITH SECRET SAUCE)



Rigatoni al Segreto (Rigatoni with Secret Sauce) image

This Rigatoni al Segreto recipe was the most closely guarded secret at Gino's, one of New York City's most famous Italian restaurants. When it closed, the recipe got out. But I think the amount of butter was way too low. So here's my version.

Time 1h10m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup diced onion
1 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
2 cloves garlic, crushed (or more to taste)
1 pinch red pepper flakes
1 (28 ounce) can San Marzano (Italian) tomatoes, blended smooth
½ cup water (to rinse out can of tomatoes)
1 (8 ounce) package uncooked rigatoni pasta
½ cup fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced
4 tablespoons cold butter, cubed
1 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, plus more for serving

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onions, salt. Cook until no longer white and starting to turn translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic; cook about 1 minute. Add chili flakes and blended tomato sauce. Bring to a simmer; adjust heat to medium to medium-low. Simmer gently, stirring occasionally, for 45 to 60 minutes. Reduce heat to low.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook rigatoni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes (5 minutes from doneness).
  • Add about 2/3 of the basil to the sauce. Stir in butter. When butter melts, add cheese in 3 increments.
  • Drain pasta; transfer to sauce. Stir until rigatoni are evenly coated with sauce. Serve sprinkled with the remaining basil and a dusting of grated cheese.

LICKS' FAMOUS "SECRET SAUCE"



Licks' Famous

Licks was first established in the Toronto neighbourhood I live in, back in the late 70s. I remember the first store, with its 2 booths. They now have numerous locations. This is their "secret sauce", which was published in a Canadian magazine back in 1984. So, it's not so secret when you have the recipe!
