Moroccan Fava Beans (Foul or Broad Beans)

MOROCCAN FAVA BEANS

1 lb shelled fava beans, fresh or frozen/ dried
2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil
1 large tomato, grated
1 small bunch cilantro, chopped (about 4 tablespoons) I keep frozen chopped cilantro and parsley mix in the freezer and use that mostly.
4 to 5 garlic cloves, chopped
1 1/2 teaspoon paprika Or so
1teaspoon ground cumin or so
1/2 to 1 tsp teaspoon salt to taste
water to cover beans
1 thick lemon slice or if out and in a pinch liquid lemon juice in the bottle but add about 1/2 way through cooking

METHOD

 • In a deep skillet warm 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat and add the garlic, tomato, cilantro, paprika, cumin and salt. Stir and leave to cook for 2 minutes.

 • Add the fava beans and the water. Add enough water to cover all the fava beans. Cover with a lid. 

 • Leave until the shell of the fava beans are cooked and their inside is smooth and creamy. Stir occasionally and check the water level you may need to add more until your beans insides are buttery goodness. We used fresh brand this time and it took multiple hours simmering.... if you pressure cook them though it's like 30 min.

 • When cooked, discard the lemon slice and drizzle the fava beans with more olive oil, (one or two tablespoons, as desired). 

 • Serve warm or cold/ room temp. Enjoy as a side or on its own with bread.

Best BBQ baked chicken drums

These are fantastic.  Just remember to take the skin off after they cooked because eww soft chicken skin...shudder...

Also. To the sauce I add garlic/onion pwd and liquid smoke.

Ooo and take the bbq sauce after cooking and reduce until thickish in a sauce pan to drizzle over.  Trust me.  You'll want the left over bbq sauce anyway haha

So basically i adapted the recipe from allreipe.com. which i just realized i didn't post all of haha.

Cooking instructions:

Stick drums on banking sheet.  Make BBQ sauce.  Pour over.   Cover with foil.  Bake preheated 400 degree oven 1hr.

Black Bean Burgers

2 cans (14.5 Each) Seasoned Black Beans
1 cup Seasoned Breadcrumbs
1/4 cup Grated White Onion
1 whole Egg
1/2 teaspoon Chili Powder (i forgot and added Seasoned salt, cayenne, garlic powder and onion powder)
Salt And Pepper
Hot Sauce
Cheese to top burgers
Oil, For Frying
Butter, For Frying
4 whole Kaiser Rolls Or Good Hamburger Buns toasted
Mayonnaise
Lettuce Or Other Greens
Sliced Tomato
Mustard
Ketchup
INSTRUCTIONS
Drain, but do not rinse, the black beans. Place them in a bowl and use a fork to mash them. Keep mashing until they're mostly broken up, but still have some whole beans visible. Add the breadcrumbs, onion, egg, chili powder, salt, pepper, and hot sauce. Stir until everything is combined, then let the mixture sit for 5 minutes.

Note...is using dried beans you cooked you may need to add an extra egg and some oil if they are a bit dry to get the right texture

Heat a tablespoon or two of olive oil with an equal amount of butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Form the bean mixture into patties slightly larger than the buns you're using (the patties will not shrink when they cook.) Place the patties in the skillet and cook them about 5 to 7 minutes on the first side. Flip them to the other side, place 2 slices of cheese onto each patty, and continue cooking them for another 5 to 7 minutes, or until the burgers are heated through. (Place a lid on the skillet to help the cheese melt if needed.)

Toast the buns and add your fixings.

Cheesy Jalapeño Olive Bread

Cheesy Jalapeno Olive Bread

2 packages Active Dry Yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
1 cup warm water (110 degrees)
4 cups bread flour plus up to 1/2 cup additional flour as needed
3 medium jalapeno peppers, chopped and seeds removed
1 3/4 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1 egg (room temperature)
1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
3/4 cup whole milk
2 cups chopped sharp cheddar cheese (1/2 inch cubes)
1/2 cup chopped pepper jack cheese (1/2 inch cubes)
1/2 to 3/4 cup chopped kalamata olives

Fit a stand mixer with a dough hook.  Proof the yeast in the warm water mixed with 1 teaspoon sugar for 10 minutes or until foamy.  Heat the milk in the microwave for 50 seconds on high.  Set aside.

In a large stainless steel bowl, add 4 cups of flour, chopped jalapenos, olives, salt, sugar, egg, hot pepper sauce and warmed milk.  After the yeast has proofed, add it to the bowl and start kneading.  Add more flour as needed to create a soft smooth dough.  Keep kneading for 10 minutes.

Remove the dough from the bowl and place it on a lightly floured board.  Add the cubed cheese and knead until blended.  

Place the dough in a well oiled bowl and let rise until doubled.  This should take about 1 hour.  Punch down the dough and slice into 4 even pieces.

Shape into 4 large loaves and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.  Cover with a clean tea towel and rise again for another hour until doubled in size.  Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese or sesame seeds.

Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for 30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
