Cookin' with Canno

Post by Canelek »

Well folks, as the dreaded SoCal heat starts to dwindle, I once again dust of the BBQ, break out the Habeneros and *cough* do the dishes. Yep, you guessed it, it is cooking time :) It must be a football thing really. I remember my years spent as a kid in the deep south, enjoying catfish, greens, hush puppies, pheasant in bbq sauce a simmerin'.

As a southerner, I was treated to some of the finest cooking, most of which is pretty rare here in LA(with the exception of a couple good soul food restaraunts). Over the years, I have picked up some pretty fucking tasty recipes which were passed down from my grandparents, parents, etc. I have made changes, mostly to increase the heat or add a different ethnic taste, but I think yall might dig em if you are prone to cooking :)

Now, I pretty much cook all sorts of stuff from different regions, countries...here is a small list:

Manicotti with spicy Italian sausage
Capellini Marinara with meatballs
Thai duck curry
Vietnamese pork riblets in caramel sauce (Kho)
Grilled Carne Asada
Pork-fried rice with steamed Bok Choi
Hoisin grilled chicken legs
Mustard and Collard greens(steamed)
Beer-battered Largemouth bass(any fish really)
Whole roasted chicken stuffed with garlic
Pork chops n' gravy
BBQ corn
Pintos and salt pork
Cornbread
etc..

I will post my first recipe this coming week, and will post more if there is interest :) This is just a hobby, but I really get a kick out of cooking for my friends and sharing what I have learned about cooking ;)

Kicked-Up Italian Meatballs

Post by Canelek »

Cool :) I am glad there is some interest. This recipe is a long-standing one in my family. I have added a lil extra to spice it up. Pretty simple recipe, but will NOT disappoint. If you have trouble with hot foods, the chili sauce and crushed red peppers may be eliminated.

Kicked-Up Italian Meatballs


2 lbs ground beef (may sub 1/2 lb ground beef for 1/2 pound of ground pork)
1-cup bread crumbs (Italian style)
¼ cup mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
2 eggs
1-teaspoon ground basil
1-teaspoon ground oregano
2 tablespoons Sriracha chile sauce (Vietnamese Serrano chili sauce (clear squeeze bottle))
8 cloves garlic (finely minced)
1-tablespoon crushed red pepper
Any pasta sauce (equivalent to 2 jars of store-bought)
Pasta (Capellini)

Have sauce (homemade or store-bought) simmering in large pot (2 jars should do the trick) : )


Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Mix ingredients in bowl until consistent(except for pasta, pasta sauce)
Roll into balls ~2” diameter
Lightly coat casserole dish (8x14) with olive oil to prevent sticking
Arrange meatballs in single layer (Excess meat can be stored in the freezer)
S*P*R*I*N*K*L*E salt and fresh ground pepper over meatballs to taste
Place on middle oven rack
Cook 10-12 minutes or until they start to brown
Continue to cook until they are mostly cooked through-they should be a little pink on the inside before they finish in sauce
Use tongs to place meatballs into sauce
Simmer meatballs in sauce for 25-30 minutes
Best when served over Capellini pasta (angel hair)

*NOTE: sometimes I FINELY mince a quarter cup each of green pepper, jalepeno and shallot to add to the mixture.

Happy eating! :)


EDIT: had to fix the word HOOKERWHORESLUT do to translation on this forum, lol

Salt and skewers for the shrimp. Is simple, and oh so good. If you are feeling adventurous, use garlic salt.

Canno, did you steal that from my mom? She does the same exact thing, greatest meatballs in the world. Sometimes she'll roll the meat into raviolli, and it's great. When my mom's cooking pasta, it's like heaven :D.

No time to think of a good marinade, although I almost always marinate shrimp in olive oil, white wine and salt/pepper. Make sure to cook the shrimpies really quick though or they will toughen up(same goes with scallops). Once you see the shrimp turn from its raw translucent color, flip that fucker and get ready to plate it! :)[/quote]

Dontcha worry Aslanna :) I will put the Manicotti recipe up soon, no meat at all and it is damn good :) However, if you like the recipe anyway, substitute ground turkey for the red meat. I have not tried, but I imagine it would be good as well :)

I'm going to try your meatballs tomorrow night. I put extremely spicey italian sausage from the local butcher in quite a few italian dishes. Your spicey balls sound pretty goddam good...meatballs that is to say. Being a fellow southerner and wannabe chef, I am totally down with any new recipes you have. I will guarantee an attempt at all "guy food" such as grilled meats, whisky-braised veggies, and other things that go well with football/boozing and outdoor shennanigans.


edit: If it tells you anything, I have all but one of the ingredients listed in your recipe here atm. I put sriracha chile sauce on eggs in the morning...mosquitos ignite when they try to suck mah blood.
Don't blame me if you see my old characters acting like asses.
