Kalua Pork Misspelled on Easter menu

BTW Carol from CA got me started on this recipe and it is delicious!

boston butt bone in or out 4 lb or more
rub with kosher salt all over
2 Tbl liquid smoke
1 banana
Put the roast in you cast iron dutch oven, I put foil in the bottom
pour the smoke over the roast
I also put two bay leaves in
cut an unpeeled banana in half, and place on two sides of the pan
Pour 1/2 cup water around the roast

Cover
Place in preheated 250 degree oven, and let it cook 5, 6 hours, until the meat falls off the bone, or falls apart. Depends on the size. Larger ones take 8 hours.

Let it cool, a little, before taking two forks to shred the meat.

Put the juices in the refrig to cool, then remove the fat.

I add the meat back to some of the juices, and have the other on reserve, for the guest to add as desired.

I serve it with white bbq sauce on the side and Hawaiian sweet rolls for sliders.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Al white bbq sauce

1/2 c mayo Hellmans/Dukes

1/4 c vinegar **I use white wine vinegar 1 1/2 tsp lemon juice 1 3/4 pepper

1/4 tsp salt

As big family dinners have faded away in my family, I have started a tradition of making myself (and my DD) a quiche. I have two favorite recipes, but this one is my favorite for Easter:

Fresh Herb Quiche

Pastry for single crust, partially baked Oven preheated to 375F

Cream cheese, 4 oz

Sour cream, 1/2 cup

Flour, 2 TBS

Salt and pepper, 1/2 tsp each

Nutmeg, grated, 1/8-1/4 tsp

Eggs, 2

Milk or half & half, 1.5 cup

Gruyere or Swiss cheese, grated, 1.5 cup (about 4 oz)

Parmesan cheese, 2 TBS

Scallions, sliced, 3 TBS

Parsley, fresh chopped, 3 TBS

Dill, basil, watercress or other herb of your choice snipped (I love it with dill) 1 TBS+

Beat together the cream cheese, sour cream, flour, salt pepper & nutmeg until smooth. Beat in the eggs, blending well, then blend in the milk. Sprinkle the cheeses, scallions, parsley and herb of choice in the prepared crust. Gently pour in the cream cheese mixture. Place the filled pan on a baking sheet.

Bake 45 min or until the custard is set. Cool about 10 minutes before slicing.

I have made this with lowered fat cream cheese, milk and sour cream and still found it acceptable in texture and just as tasty!

Glenda's pineapple recipe is very good.. I use pineapple tidbits and Ritz crackers. It is great with ham and can easily be doubled.

Sweet Potato recipe...(sorry a little late for Easter)

I usually mix in a can of crushed pineapple with some of its juice, brown sugar to taste, cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamon, and a can of mandarin orange with cooked and mashed sweet potatoes. Then place the mixture in a casserole dish, dab some butter pieces and sprinkle brown sugar on top. Then, bake it 400F degrees for 15-20 minutes or until sugar caramel. Hum... that sounds yummy. I want some! I'm going to try your recipe too! Thanks for sharing.

LOOKING for: Easter Bird's Nest Recipe
Q
Comments (5)
Here's the one I used last year: BIRD'S NESTS CANDIES FOR EASTER 1 bag ReeseÂs peanut butter chips (10 oz.) 1 Tblsp. solid shortening (Crisco) 1 large can (5oz.) La Choy thin chow mein noodles 1 bag pastel colored M&M peanut candy Melt entire bag of chips and 1 tbsp. of shortening slowly in microwave or in double boiler on stovetop. If using microwave, heat full power in intervals of 30 seconds at a time and then less as chips begin to melt. You want the chips and shortening to be well blended and creamy and hot. DO NOT OVERCOOK!!! Immediately pour the can of chow mien noodles into the peanut butter mixture and toss lightly to coat noodles. Avoid crunching noodles. Using a spatula can help. Do this quickly, making sure the noodles are evenly coated. Drop by spoonfuls onto waxed paper and gently form into the shape of a nest, leaving a hollowed area in the center in which you immediately place three M&M peanut candies for the "birds eggs". Helps to have two people! Each batch makes approximately 14 nests.

I make a yoghurt based naan in my cast iron skillet. No yeast involved - just baking powder - & it comes out very yummy. & shepherd's pie is a classic, if you're into that sort of thing. Here's the recipe, in case anyone's interested - I usually make 1/2 the recipe & smaller sized naan... Easy Yoghurt Naan Ingredients: Servings: 10 4 cups flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon salt 2 cups plain low-fat yogurt Melted butter for brushing Directions: 1. Mix together flour, baking powder and salt. 2. Stir in the yogurt till the dough is too stiff for a spoon, then knead it in the bowl till it holds together well, adding more flour if necessary. 3. Turn it out on a floured surface and continue kneading for a few minutes till the dough feels smooth and elastic. 4. Form the dough into a ball and put it in an oiled bowl, covered with a towel, to rest for an hour or longer. 5. Take the dough out and cut it into 10 equal pieces. Form each into a ball and press the balls flat into round discs 6. Heat a large frying pan or griddle, either seasoned cast iron or a good non-stick finish. 7. Take 1 piece of dough at a time and roll it out on a floured surface till it is about 8-10 inches across and less than 1/4 inch thick. 8. Lay it on the hot griddle and cook it over a medium heat for a minute or 2. 9. It will puff up in places or all over, and there will be some blackish-brown spots on the bottom. 10. Slide a spatula under the naan and flip. Cook for a minute or two, just till it finishes puffing up into a balloon . 11. Remove naan from the skillet and brush it lightly with melted butter if you like. 12. Continue this way with all the dough, stacking the breads into a napkin-lined basket. note: I use a plate. 13. Serve the breads hot, or let them cool and wrap them up 14. To reheat, wrap them in aluminum foil, in packets of 4 or 5 breads and put them in a 400 degree oven for 10-15 minutes.

Dumb question, Glenda, but is the banana discarded with the peel or mashed into pan drippings?
glenda_al

No, you do not use the banana after cooking. Just toss it. Carol-Ca used banana leaves and when I told her I did not have access, then she suggested using the whole banana and cutting it in half when cooking.

Does anyone have a fancy cake recipe that does not include nuts? I am not much of a baker but I would like to bring something special to Easter dinner. One person is allergic to nuts.

No nuts in a Harvey Wallbanger cake...always a big seller at my family picnics. I see the recipes on line call for yellow cake mix, but the original uses orange cake mix if you can find it.

Not really fancy, but you could make carrot cake with cream cheese frosting and omit the nuts.

Former KT member shared this recipe. Highly recommended. Many here have made this cake. Somehow I remember her receiving an award for the cake as well.

Hot Milk Cake
from pixistix

4 eggs
2 cups sugar
2 1/4 cups flour
2 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/4 cups milk
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter

Beat eggs and sugar well. Combine flour with bk. powder and add to egg mixture along with vanilla. Heat milk and butter together until butter melts; gradually add to batter, beating until well blended.

Pour batter into a greased 9x13 pan or a bundt pan. Bake at 350 for 30 to 35 minutes. Old fashioned, simple, melts in your mouth

****I bake mine in a square pyrex dish, and bake it about 45 minutes.

Thanks, I've had this recipe saved probably for as long as I've had your pineapple casserole saved LOL but never made it. But when you said "melts in your mouth" - that got to me! Thanks, Glenda :)

Here's the chocolate pudding I made for son when he was young. Still my favorite and his treat Sunday.

Chocolate Pudding
The quick easy way!
1/2 cup of Bisquick
3/4 cup of granulated white sugar
1/3 cup of Cocoa
1 cup of water
2 cups of whole milk
Combine Bisquick, sugar and cocoa in large saucepan. Gradually stir in water and milk. Cook stirring
constantly with wire whisk, over medium high heat, until the mixture thickens and boils. Boil and stir
constantly for 1 minute. Spoon into serving dishes. Cover as pudding will get a light skin on it if you
don’t.
