Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for toasts
2 garlic cloves, minced, plus 1 or 2 whole garlic cloves for rubbing toasts
Pinch of crushed red pepper
4 pounds mussels, cleaned
1/4 cup white wine or water
1 baguette, split lengthwise, then cut crosswise in half
1 cup roughly chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Heat broiler. Put olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper and let sizzle for 30 seconds without browning. Add the mussels, stir to coat and increase heat to high. Add the wine or water, and put on lid. After 2 minutes, give the mussels a stir, then replace lid and continue cooking until all mussels have opened, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Paint cut sides of the baguette pieces with oil and place cut side up under broiler to toast. Rub toasts with the remaining garlic cloves.
  • Stir the chopped parsley into the mussels, then ladle mussels and broth into bowls. Serve with the garlic toasts.

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 tablespoons olive or cooking oil
2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 large onion, chopped
2 to 3 tablespoons chili powder
2 1/2 pounds ground chuck
Two 20-ounce cans diced tomatoes and green chilies
One 16-ounce can black, pinto or kidney beans, drained
One 8-ounce container sour cream
2 cups grated Cheddar
2 cups grated pepper jack
1 large onion, diced
4 scallions, chopped
5 Roma tomatoes, diced
1 bunch cilantro, leaves chopped
2 bags corn chips (I like Frito's)
1 jar pickled jalapenos
Fried Corn Tortilla Strips, for serving, recipe follows
Peanut oil, for frying
1 bag corn tortillas, cut into 1-inch strips
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • In a large pot, add the oil, salt, a few grinds of black pepper and the onions. Cook over medium-high heat until tender, about 6 minutes. Add the chili powder and beef and break up into bits, cooking until done, about 10 minutes. Add the tomatoes and beans. Stir and cover to cook for 20 minutes. Serve with a bar of toppings and freshly fried corn tortilla strips to use for utensils.
  • Bring at least 2 inches of oil to 350 degrees F in a Dutch oven or other large heavy pot. Add the tortilla strips one by one and fry in small batches until golden and crisp, about 2 minutes. Remove to a paper-towel-lined plate and immediately sprinkle with salt.

SUNNY'S EASY BACON, PEPPERS AND CHEESE HOME FRIES



Sunny's Easy Bacon, Peppers and Cheese Home Fries image

Provided by Sunny Anderson

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

One 1 1/2-pound bag microwaveable golden or new potatoes (Red Bliss works too!)
6 strips bacon
2 tablespoons salted butter
6 red, orange or yellow mini sweet peppers, chopped
1/2 white or sweet onion, chopped
1 teaspoon steak seasoning
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup shredded cheddar-jack cheese blend
4 scallions, chopped

Steps:

  • Leave the potatoes in the bag and cook them in the microwave for 2 minutes less than the package instructions so they aren't too soft (they will cook in the pan, plus, you'll need to break them down further). Remove from the bag and let cool until cool enough to handle, then cut the larger potatoes into sixths and the smaller ones into fourths.
  • In a mid-sized pan on the stovetop or on a grill on medium heat, add the bacon and cook until crispy. Remove the bacon from the pan with a slotted spoon, leaving the bacon fat in the pan. Roughly chop the bacon and set aside. Add the butter to the bacon fat. Once it has melted, add the potatoes in one layer if possible. (If not, do the potatoes in batches.) Cook the potatoes on one side until a peek beneath reveals a golden crust, 10 to 15 minutes, then toss and repeat. Do this a few times; if doing in batches, you can pile the cooked potatoes on the side of the pan while the new ones get attention. Once the potatoes are almost done, push them all to the sides of the pan.
  • To the center of the pan add the peppers, onions, steak seasoning, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Cook the veggies, stirring, until the peppers and onions are tender but still have some crunch, about 5 minutes. Add the bacon back to the pan and toss everything together. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and stir in the cheese. Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with the scallions.
