Sanny Posted February 8, 2007 Report Posted February 8, 2007 Ooooh! Doesn't that sound yummy? Grandma used to make something like that, only not fried. It was in a cast iron thingy long handled thingy that she'd hold over the stove. Kinda like those electric sammich pocket thingies they sell now, but this was manual. Put dough on one side, fill, put dough on top, clamp shut and hold over the burner until it cooked. She'd make some with apple sauce or cheese, or other delicious stuff. If you've not seen it, the cookbook Silver Spoons is amaaaaazing! It's immense, and there aren't enough pictures, but there are Italian recipes for everything. Fun to read and see that the stuff grandma (anna lucia) used to make for grandpa (angelo) are right out of the Old Country!
Porkchop Posted February 8, 2007 Report Posted February 8, 2007 marco polo, i'm weeping inside... that sounds SO beautiful. ONE OF THESE DAYS, when i'm able to lie semi-comatose from the spike in my blood sugar, I WILL be trying that! thanks for the idea! THIS is why we need a KK-fest! pass those suckers out with some red sauce to dip!!
Sanny Posted February 8, 2007 Report Posted February 8, 2007 Re: Inspiring topics... The idea of fried and cheese lingered' date=' and last night made a nice dough, ... flattened into a mini pizza round, and stuffing of pulled butt, ricotta, lotsa pepper. fold it over like a calzone, be sure to pinch it closed all around, and into some hot oil. ...[/quote']Hmm. That sounds really good! I think I'd skip the hot oil, and put it on the pizza stone, for little baked calzone. Don't even know if I'd dip it in sauce. I like cheesy porky goodness! I might try one with olives in, but do you think the cured olives would overpower the pork? Maybe olive on its own, or with herbs, or (as you did) with a strong savory ingredient. I like ideas that aren't traditional saucy bbq or "mexican inspired." Neither is familiar to me. More Chinese and Italian in my history. Not much potato, more rice and pasta. Go figger.
Sanny Posted February 11, 2007 Report Posted February 11, 2007 Calzone I made a couple of the calzone. Ricotta, mozzarella, parmesan, fresh herbs, pepper and eggwhites (recipe called for a whole egg, but I didn't want that and porky goodness). Simple dough recipe - takes only about 10 mins to make, plus rest. It'll sit in the frigerator, wrapped, for a few days, too. They look pretty so far! I've not cooked them yet, though. They need to be served right out of the oven to be best. Ok, here's the cooked pic. One of them unpinched, but sure looks good!

Not gonna send him away. He's a nice snooky. And most of the time he does make me happy. Brought flowers the other evening, for a treat.
