Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens:

tip 1

Mozzarella balls come in many sizes. We used 1/2-inch "pearl" mozzarella balls, but other types of fresh mozzarella work equally well. If using larger pieces of mozzarella, cut it into 1/2-inch pieces.

tip 2

The key to crispy, yet tender potatoes in this sheet pan Mediterranean chicken and veggies dish is cutting them into similarly-sized pieces for even cooking. If some of your potatoes are large, cut them into sixths.

tip 3

To take the bite out of raw onion, rinse cut onion in cold water for 30 seconds, then drain thoroughly.

How to make a smoked spatchcock chicken on the Weber 2022

Ingredients:

(11)

For the dry rub

1 tbsp garlic powder

1 tsp black pepper

1 tbsp salt

1 tbsp chilli powder

1 tbsp cumin

1 tbsp dried thyme

1 tbsp brown sugar

2 tbsp paprika

For the chicken

whole chicken — back bone removed

1/4 cup butter — softened

2 tbsp olive oil

Method:

Mix all the dry rub ingredients together and set aside.

Take ¼ cup of softened butter and mix with 1 tbsp of the prepared dry rub. Mix the remaining 3 tbsp of dry rub with the olive oil and set aside.

For the chicken: begin by slowly separating the skin from the breast meat and spread the seasoned butter under the surface of the skin above the chicken breasts. Then cover the whole chicken with the wet-dry rub mixture. Place the chicken flatty skin-side up in a small foil container.

Before preheating your grill, fit your Weber smoker box with about 1½ cups of wood chips, chunks or twigs directly on the flavoriser bars (or on one of the sides close to the lid vent gap). In case your Weber does not have a smoker box, a foil cracker can be used instead.

Preheat your Weber grill for indirect cooking on low heat at 140 to 160°C (fit a roasting rack and shield on the cooking grate for a more even smoke and cook).

Begin cooking when the grill is preheated to temperature and fully smoking. Place the chicken flatty on the grill and smoke for about 3 hours or until fully cooked.

Allow the chicken to rest when done smoking.

Serve the smoked chicken with rustic chips and fresh chimichurri sauce.

how to make MATCHA OATMEAL 2022

INGREDIENTS FOR MATCHA OATMEAL:

Rolled Oats – Nothing special here, and I just used some organic rolled oats. Steel-cut oats take longer to cook, so if you’re using those instead, adjust the cooking time and amount of liquid according to the package directions. 

Water – To turn the rolled oats into oatmeal, you need a liquid. I usually use water for this, but if you want creamier oatmeal, you can use your favorite non-dairy milk instead. On the flip side, if you know you are making savory oatmeal, you can substitute vegetable stock or kombu dashi to boost umami.

Matcha – You’ll want to use authentic matcha powder for the best color and taste. You can read more about matcha in the FAQ, but real matcha isn’t just powdered green tea, and the method used to grow and process it makes a huge difference in the taste and color of the tea. I also generally find that ceremonial grade tea tends to have a brighter color than culinary grade matcha, but it tends to be significantly more expensive.

TOPPINGS FOR SWEET OATMEAL:

Milk – adding milk to this green tea oatmeal makes it taste like a matcha latte. I like using coconut cream because it adds richness, but if you want to go with something healthier, just substitute your favorite non-dairy milk such as soy milk, oat milk, or almond milk.

Fruits – Banana, mango, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and kiwi are just a few fresh fruits that go great on these breakfast oats. You can also use dried fruit like raisins, cranberries, apples, etc. 

Nuts & Seeds – I used toasted pumpkin seeds, but adding any nuts or seeds is an excellent way to boost the protein in your breakfast. For nuts, I recommend pistachio, walnut, cashew, or macadamia. If you use harder nuts such as almond or hazelnut, I recommend chopping them first. For seeds, sunflower seeds, hemp seeds, chia seeds, and flax seeds are great options. Shredded coconut is another tasty addition, and I’ve even added quinoa to this before when cooking the oatmeal (just be sure to increase the amount of water).

Sweetener – Depending on how sweet our fruit is, you may not need a sweetener, but I’ve included some Japanese brown sugar (kokutou) on this one. I’ve also used maple syrup or date syrup on this, and they are both delicious...

TOPPINGS FOR SAVORY OATMEAL:

Seeds – Any nuts or seeds will add texture and protein to this savory oatmeal, but if I’m trying to go for a Japanese breakfast, I usually use toasted sesame seeds. 

Pickles – Any salty Asian pickled vegetable works well to add texture, flavor, and salt. I used store-bought takuan pickles and umeboshi in mine, but I have a recipe for Japanese pickles if you want to try that out. 

Seasonings – I used shiokonbu (salted kelp) to season this, but other seasonings such as soy sauce or even salt will work.

Herbs – Herbs are an excellent way to accent savory oatmeal, and you can really use just about anything here. I usually use shiso or kinome (sansho pepper leaves) if I’m going with a Japanese-style breakfast.

HOW TO MAKE MATCHA OATMEAL:

To make the oatmeal, bring the water to a full boil before stirring in the rolled oats. If you like a creamy oatmeal (less chunky), you can add the oats simultaneously with the water. 

After adding the oats, adjust the heat to maintain a gentle simmer and set a timer for ten minutes. If you like your oatmeal more firm and chewy, you can cook them for less time. Be sure to stir the oatmeal regularly, especially towards the end. 

When the oatmeal is done, turn off the heat and use a tea strainer to sift the matcha into the cooked oats. Matcha tends to form lumps, and it won’t dissolve properly if you don’t sift it. Now you just need to stir the green tea powder into the oatmeal. It will start off looking like there are dark green specks in plain oatmeal, but as you stir, the matcha will dissolve, and the color of the oatmeal will turn a more vivid green...

What is Matcha?

Matcha is a type of tea that’s grown, harvested, and processed in a very specific way. It’s a type of ground whole leaf tea, but not all ground green tea is matcha. 

The process of making matcha green tea involves covering tea trees (Camellia sinensis) with shade cloth in spring for up to 20 days. This protects the young growth from the sun, preventing the breakdown of amino acids and increasing the amount of chlorophyll in the leaves. The young green tea leaves are then harvested, and the stems are removed before the leaves are steamed, rolled, and dried. The dried leaves are then ground using a stone mill to a size of 10-15 microns. For perspective, flour varies in size from 10-300 microns. 

This process increases the taste of umami in matcha while reducing bitter and astringent tastes. 

Unfortunately, there is no regulation about what can be labeled as “matcha,” so many producers sell ordinary ground tea leaves as matcha...

How do I choose good matcha?

Because there are a lot of deceptive practices in how matcha is sold, it’s important to do your research so that you understand how the matcha you’re buying was produced and where it came from. Beyond that, you can look at factors such as the color of the matcha (it should be vibrant green) and the taste (it should not be overly bitter or astringent). I order my matcha directly from a tea farm in Kyoto. 

What to do with leftover Matcha Oatmeal?

This recipe is easy enough to make in small batches, but if you find yourself with leftovers, you can flatten them into a patty (or patties if you have a lot) and store them in the fridge. These can then be pan-fried until they’re crispy on the outside and hot in the center. These matcha oatmeal cakes make for a delicious dinner side dish that’s a little like polenta cakes.

Is Matcha Oatmeal vegan?

Matcha oatmeal is plant-based, and as you’re careful with your topping ingredients, this oatmeal is both vegan and vegetarian friendly...

Spicy Chicken Tailgate Tacos 2022

Ingredients:

1

tablespoon olive oil

1/2

pound cooked chicken, shredded (I used cooked Rotisserie chicken)

1

packet (1 oz) Old El Paso™ Hot & Spicy Taco Seasoning Mix

1/2

cup onion, diced

1

(14.5 ounce) can diced tomato, drained

1

can (4.5 oz) Old El Paso™ Chopped Green Chiles

1

box (4.7 oz) Old El Paso™ Stand 'n Stuff Taco Shells (10 Count)

1/2

can (16 oz) Old El Paso™ Traditional Refried Beans

2

cups Mexican Blend Cheese, shredded

Toppings such as 1 jar (12 oz) Old El Paso™ Hot Jalapeño Slices, sour cream, salsa, chopped cilantro, shredded lettuce, or any of your favorite taco toppings...

Steps:

1

Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a 9x13 baking dish with foil. (I originally made this by spraying the pan with non stick spray. That is totally fine to do, but using foil can help in keeping the shells crisp.)

2

Heat olive oil over medium heat in a medium skillet. Add onion to skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the onion is translucent and fragrant. Stir in the chicken, taco seasoning, tomatoes, and green chills. Stir to combine fully. Reduce to simmer and allow to cook for 5-8 minutes.

3

Place the taco shells in the baking dish, standing up. I was able to fit 10 taco shells in the dish by adding 2 on each side.

4

Spoon 1 tablespoon of beans into the bottom of each taco shell. Top with the chicken mixture, almost to the top of each shell. Sprinkle each shell generously with shredded cheese, the more the better!

5

Bake for 12-14 minutes or until cheese is fully melted and the edges of the shells are browned.

6

Remove from the oven and top with your favorite items such as jalapenos, sour cream, cilantro, and salsa.
