For a delicious and creative way to serve pizza appetizers, give this recipe a try. For the dough, we’re using frozen dinner rolls, and the cast iron muffin pan gives the crust great texture. You can use your favorite sauce, cheeses and toppings and change it up as much as you like.
We’ve talked in the past about how much leftover pulled pork the ATBBQ kitchen produces, so we’re always looking for new ingredients and combinations for utilizing those leftovers. If you’ve been following along here on The Sauce then hopefully you’ve taken our advice and have a box of puff pastry in the freezer. Everything else you need to make this bbq pizza is likely already in your fridge and pantry, and you could be eating dinner within an hour.
A couple of weeks ago we talked about what a great ingredient puff pastry is to have on hand, and how its uses go beyond breakfast and dessert items. This week we’re back with another great puff pastry recipe, and we’re going savory again. You BBQ enthusiasts are probably familiar with ABTs, the barbecuer’s take on jalapeño poppers. We’re tweaking those ideas a little more for this flaky, creamy, chile-centric appetizer.
Our cheese sauce isn’t far from the nacho cheese you occasionally indulge in at the ballpark or movie theater, but it’s made from scratch (so you actually know what’s in it) and it’s slightly sweeter with a little spice, thanks to those delicious bread and butter jalapeños.
Puff pastry is a great food item to have in your freezer at all times. It’s super versatile! It can be used for sweet or savory applications. It’s great for desserts or appetizers and people love this stuff! These ham & cheese puff pinwheels are both visually interesting and super tasty, which makes them great for parties or big dinners.
This grilled apple slaw is the perfect side for Autumn grilling. Incorporating flavors of the fall, this summer recipe can thrive months after the summer!
Your gas grill is probably more versatile than you think. Most of us frequent grillers have pondered and tested the possibilities, but if you’re looking for a place to start, then try these delicious home-made cheesy breadsticks.
This grilled roast beef uses the traditional flavors along with Butcher BBQ Prime Dust to take it over the top. The horseradish Crème fraîche is great on prime rib too.
Traditional ceviche consists of raw seafood that is cured, or chemically cooked, in an acid. Of course, we like to put smoke on whatever we can get our hands on, so we’re giving our shrimp a smoke bath before it hits the citrus juices. In this recipe, when the shrimp comes off the smoker they will be fully cooked before being marinated in the acid, so the soaking time won’t be as long as if we were starting with raw shrimp. You could do the same with a cold smoke and longer marination. This method will also ease the minds of your friends who are wary of seafood that’s not cooked over a flame. You can think of ceviche as a seafood salsa, if you like. The ingredient possibilities are endless, so do some experimenting with different seafood, veggies and fruits.
We take the classic southern Italian street food of deep-fried risotto-mozzarella balls and move it south of the border. Our Mexi-Arancini is made with cilantro lime rice with a spicy cheesy bite.
Beets have made a recent comeback and people are finding them sweet and flavorful. This recipe will allow you to try them for yourself in a great summer salad.
