I found this instructable on making your own cured bacon. It was taken from a recipe out of Charcuterie. This would make for a really neat weekend project, plus it will give you the option to add your own seasonings and flavors…. maybe a Sweet Habanero Breakfast Bacon.

Another awesome DIY from the book, Charcuterie. This time it’s how to make your own Pancetta, which is an Italian Bacon. It’s pretty much the same steps as making your own cured bacon, just with the extra step of hanging it to dry.

Here is a great spread for those big party subs that you get at the grocery store. The basil helps to mute some of the heat from the habaneros, just enough to let you know that they’re still there. This is by far, one of the best toppings for Italian hoagies. Some of this aioli and a little bit of Balsamic or Red Wine vinegar and it will make the best sandwich you ever had. After mixing this all up, it will stay good for about a week in the fridge if its in a covered container.

Lumpias are spring rolls of Chinese origin that have become a staple food in Indonesia and the Phillipines. Filled with Pork and vegetables, they are usually fried until golden brown and crisp. Their cheap cost and ease of prep makes these a great meal to make a batch of and fry up a few at a time all week.

This makes for a good sauce to top chicken or pork with. Goes especially well with burritos and tacos. It is extremely hot tho, so try a little at first until you feel the heat once. The vinegar really helps to maximize the oils out of the peppers that carry all the tongue burning capsaicin.

Casseroles are great for feeding a group of people for cheap. One of these green chile chicken casserols will feed 4 big guys for about $25 and that’s including a 12 pack of Dos Equis. This is a full meal in itself, add a salad on the side and you can stretch it out even further.

Here’s a recipe for a Balsamic Sweet glaze for your steaks. I seen this in one of the recipes by Guy Fieri and from what I seen it looks like it could be pretty tasty. The sweetness adds a nice finish to your grilled steaks as well.

Guy Fieri is one of those tv personalities that I just don’t care for. It’s the look of his that just screams “trying to cling to youth” that I find annoying. I do give him credit as a cook tho and he does make for entertaining television. He’s been in the restaraunt game for a while now, and while people hate on him for coming up with some goofy shit, it really is what ‘Murica wants and i can’t blame him for catering his menus to make the most money. So with all the heat Guy Fieri is getting over his new spot in NY, I figured I’d post the menu to one of his other restaurants, Tex Wasabi, for some ideas. As stupid as “Gringo Sushi” sounds, there’s some good pairings of flavors.
You can find the Full Menu at the Tex Wasabi Site
