Nothing cooking right now but got another 10 pounds of yellow fin tuna steaks marinated and frozen in 6 oz portions delivered. We love them on the grill and Costco ships them in dry ice. We buy a box every time they go on sale because of the quality.

We’re having Chicken Riggies tonight.

Local to Utica, New York is a chicken and rigatoni dish with a spicy tomato sauce.

Main components are roasted bell and cherry peppers, along with San Marzano tomatoes in the sauce.

While I had heard about Riggies for many years, I honestly thought it was a sandwich of some sort…..damn was I wrong…🥺

25 years ago had real Riggies at a Fair Booth. Really good pasta meal!😊

I can do a lot of Italian meals without a recipe. Riggies is one I need to refer to a recipe.

That sauce looks amazing. You got a little cream in there for viscosity and color? Or some other magic?

I use san marzano in our sauce recipe as well. Or actually "gravy" if we were back at grandmas in NJ lol.

We had chicken parm sandwiches Sat. Ended up grinding the chicken instead of cutting and pounding. I was trying to make the texture more like a commercial style chicken sandwich. It kinda worked. Wouldn't do that on a traditional chicken parmesan i reckon.

Then just sort of treated it like a meatball. Had to freeze them slightly so they'd hold shape and not fall apart in my hands.

But they fried up quite well. Made our usual sauce. The alfredo is just a jarred sauce. Girls wanted fettucine with the sandwiches. Its funny, my wife and oldest daughter both have a dairy allergy. The parm and heavy cream (which i don't always use) is too much for them. But the jarred sauce that is loaded with milk and other crap, treats them just fine. Never understood it.

Also did a round of jerky (for snaking, not with dinner)

And chocolate peanut butter bars for dessert

Thanks!

Yes, the sauce has a little heavy cream and quite a bit of cheese in it.

We tend to use pecorino Romano, but Parmesan would be good too.

Wow, beats me, never heard of it. got me curious though now.

Almost seems too special to just throw off in a pan and experiment.

Maybe oven for a bit.

Wonder would it smoke well?

@RCW any thoughts?

Had no idea such a thing existed.

I’d also try cooking in the oven on a sheet pan with a wire rack in it. Wire rack would help fat to drain out. If there isn’t a rack handy, I don’t think it’s a necessity.

Not too hot. Maybe 350 for the oven. Guess 15 minutes. Might have to flip them halfway through since their so thick.

I’m just guessing…..

Interesting. I Googled it and found steak cut bacon and even bacon steaks up to 1” thick…. :oops:

Looks like can be cooked any way you choose. Not a surprise I guess.

Guess I’d still try oven roasting first.

speaking of Bacon... 3 days ago I took a package of Bacon out of the basement freezer and threw it on top.... Forgot about it until yesterday.....

should I eat it?
it is 'cured' .... Hmm...

Decided to cook it up.

threw most of the bacon over the fence for the possums and coons...

Mixed the grease with some birdseed.

Home made Suet.....

Got some snow last night.... This prolly won't last long.

Glad you didn’t eat the bacon. The term “cured” is no guarantee it’s safe to consume.

On the one hand, I “cure“ pork bellies for 7 to 14 days (depending on thickness) and then smoke the bellies…but we don’t eat the bacon be before it’s been smoked (or cooked).

On the other hand, I’ll make Bresaola with an entire beef eye of round by hanging it in my basement (above the kegerator) for ~30 days and eat it sliced paper-thin without ever cooking it…this is safe when properly cured until its weight is reduced by 25% over ~30 days.
