Parmesan Pan-Fried Tomatoes
Crispy pan-fried ripe tomatoes, breaded with seasoned panko crumbs and Parmesan cheese. Terrific served alongside grilled or roasted meats and poultry. Or, for a delicious breakfast treat, serve them with bacon and eggs.

Recipe Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon onion powder
2 teaspoons granulated garlic
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup panko Japanese bread crumbs
12 slices tomatoes, sliced 1/2-inch thick (about 3 tomatoes)
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons olive oil

Cooking Directions:
1 – Combine flour, onion powder, granulated garlic, salt and pepper. Mix well.
2 – In separate bowl combine panko and Parmesan.
3 – In third bowl combine eggs and mustard.
4 – Take slices of tomato and dip in flour, dust off excess. Then dip in egg mixture, letting excess drip off. Finally dip in parmesan/panko mixture, pressing Parmesan mixture onto slices for good coverage. Repeat until all slices are breaded. These should be stored in a single layer dusted lightly with extra crumbs.
5 – Heat olive oil in non-stick frying pan, over medium-high heat. Place 3 slices in pan, and let cook about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes on each side, until just golden brown. Don’t flip too soon or Parmesan mix will fall off. Serve hot.
Makes 4 servings.

Enjoy and Eat Healthy in 2020! https://wildideabuffalo.com/

SMOKED BUFFALO BRISKET
Serves 6
I have tried smoking buffalo briskets in a smoker, to achieve that smoky pit flavor. My attempts were unsuccessful, as the lean, healthy, buffalo meat becomes dry. This faux smoked technique achieves the tenderness and the flavor of slow smoked meat. Leftovers make excellent cold sandwiches.

Ingredients:

1 3 lb. Wild Idea Buffalo Brisket
1 tablespoon liquid smoke
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon paprika or smoked paprika
2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 tablespoon cider vinegar

Instructions
1 – Rinse brisket and pat dry, and place on sheet of foil, with the fattiest side up.
2 – Mix liquid smoke, olive oil and spices together.
3 – Rub the seasoning into the brisket.
4 – Fold the foil around the brisket, pour vinegar under brisket on foil and seal foil edges. Reinforce with an additional sheet of foil, sealing tightly. This can be done up to 24 hours ahead of grilling time. Let roast rest at room temperature 2 hours before grilling.

For Char Grill:

1 – Start a large amount of coals in half of the grill, coals are ready when half have become ashen colored.
2 – Place roast on grill rack opposite coals, and cover leaving vent open.
Grill for 1 hour, and close vents. Continue to grill for 3 more hours.
3 – Add a few more coals half way through cooking to maintain heat temperature. Turn brisket at his time.
4 – Remove roast from grill and let rest for 10 minutes. Uncover and slice.
5 – Serve with juices that have accumulated in foil.

For Gas Grill:

Allow grill to come to 400*.
1 – Place foil wrapped brisket in center of grill, and turn off burners directly under brisket, leaving burners on each side on high.
2 – Grill for 1 hour. Turn burners down and maintain heat of 350*. Continue to grill for 3 hours. Turn brisket halfway through cooking time.
3 – Remove roast from grill and let rest for 10 minutes. Uncover, slice or pull apart.
4 – Serve with juices that have accumulated in foil.

Stuffed pork tenderloin with collard greens

Ingredients
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 50 minutes

1 pound lean pork tenderloin
12 dried apricot halves (about 1/2 cup)
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon oregano
1 pound collard greens, stemmed, washed, and drained, but not dry
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
3/4 cup diced onion
1 clove garlic, minced
2 dashes salt

Directions
Yield:
4 servings

Serving size:
3 ounces of meat and 1 cup of greens

1 – Heat oven to 400°F. Line a baking pan with nonstick aluminum foil (or use regular aluminum foil sprayed with nonfat cooking spray). Place tenderloin on a cutting board, and use a slightly oiled (olive oil) sharpening steel or boning knife to make a hole in the center of the tenderloin all the way through. Stuff dried apricots into the cavity, working from one end at a time and making sure to stuff them all the way into the middle. Place tenderloin in pan and sprinkle with black pepper, onion powder, and oregano. Cook for 45 minutes, or until a meat thermometer reads at least 160°F. If you prefer your pork well done, cook until thermometer reads 170°F. Remove and let rest 5 minutes before slicing.

2 – While meat is resting, roll a collard leaf into a tight roll. Using a sharp slicing knife, slice into thin strips. Repeat until all of the greens resemble green ribbons. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and add onion and garlic. Cook until onions are almost transparent. Add greens (which should still be damp) and sauté, moving rapidly until greens have relaxed and deepened in color, 2–3 minutes. If mixture starts to stick to the pan, add 1 tablespoon water. Remove greens from heat. To serve, place approximately 1 cup of greens on a dinner plate. Cut tenderloin into 1 1/2-inch slices. Place meat slices on top of greens.

Today’s Menu: Blackened Grouper w/ Mushroom and Parmesan Risotto, Boiled Mini Carrots, and Wheat Bread

It’s been a chilly but a sunny and beautiful day out today! Started the day off by making an Egg, Canadian Bacon, and English Muffin Breakfast Sandwich with the Hamilton Beach Breakfast Sandwich Maker I had purchased about a month ago. Love this thing, it makes a perfect sandwich every time! Since it was above freezing I took my car and Mom’s over to a local car wash and had them both cleaned, and both needed it! Went to the grocery and home for the day. For dinner tonight I prepared a Blackened Grouper Fillet w/ Mushroom and Parmesan Risotto, Boiled Mini Carrots, and Wheat Bread.

Last night before I went to bed I laid one of the Gulf Coast Grouper Fillets in the fridge overnight to thaw. A friend of mine who goes down to the gulf Side of Florida quite often always brings me back some of his fresh caught Grouper. These are always some of the finest tasting Grouper I’ve ever had! i started by rinsing the fillet off in cold water and patting dry and cut it into smaller pieces. I melted a tablespoon of butter, Blue Bonnet Light Stick Butter. I then brushed both sides of the fillets with the Butter and then rubbed the fillets with Zatarain’s Blackened Seasoning. Then I got out my favorite skillet, The Cast Iron Skillet. Is there any better pan? You can’t stain it, you fry in it, bake in it, and all temperatures. Just make sure you clean it and keep it seasoned, it will last a life time and then some! Anyway added Canola Oil to the skillet and heated it on medium high. When the pan was fully heated I added my Grouper. Cooked it about 3 1/2 minutes per side, and it was ready for the table! This fish is just soooo good, hard to describe! Moist and bursting with flavor. I hope my friend catches a lot of grouper while he’s down there after the first of the year, and keeps me in mind!

For one side dish I made some Mushroom and Parmesan Risotto. I used Lundberg Creamy Parmesan Risotto. Quick, easy, and delicious Risotto dish. Ready in about 25 – 30 minutes. I added some fresh sliced Baby Bella Mushrooms to it as it was cooking. Then when it was ready I sprinkled some fresh grated Parmesan Cheese on it. Then I also boiled some Mini Carrots and had a slice of Klosterman Wheat Bread. For dessert later a Del Monte No Sugar Added Peach Chunks Cup.

Lundberg Creamy Parmesan Risotto
Enjoy the delectable flavor of rich, aged Parmesan cheese in this elegant Italian-style risotto. We created this delicious gourmet side dish by blending quality ingredients like Parmesan cheese, onion, garlic, and spices with our creamy Arborio rice. You’ll love how the individual kernels plump, creating a rich, creamy sauce while the rice grains remain separate and al dente. Preparing this tasty risotto takes about 20 minutes and requires minimal stirring. It’s an easy, convenient way to add gourmet flair to any meal.

Cooking Instructions

In a heavy 2 qt. saucepan, sauté rice in ½ Tbsp. olive oil over medium heat for 2 minutes. Add 2½ cups water and contents of seasoning pouch. Stir well and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer, cook uncovered for 20 minutes stirring occasionally until rice is tender. Garnish with grated Parmesan cheese is desired. Serve piping hot.
Ingredients

Eco-Farmed Arborio Rice, Parmesan and Cheddar Cheese Blend (Parmesan Cheese, Cheddar Cheese {Milk, Cheese Culture, Salt, Enzymes}), Salt, Whey, Buttermilk Powder, Dried Cane Syrup, Natural Flavors (Cheese, Dairy), Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Sodium Phosphate, Maltodextrin, Dried Parsley, Yeast Extract, Butter (Cream, Salt), Rice Flour, Autolyzed Yeast Extract, Expeller-Pressed Safflower or Sunflower Oil, Pepper, Lactic Acid, Nonfat Milk, Enzyme-Modified Cheddar Cheese, Turmeric.
