Pappanozza

This recipe comes from @pastagrammar and is my new favorite summer side dish, wonderful with a roasted or grilled chicken or fish. Best eaten at room temperature or cold, it’s a simple Sicilian delight!

4 large peeled potatoes, quartered

2 large red onions, halved and sliced into half moons

Salt

Pepper

1 minced garlic clove

Olive Oil 

Wine Vinegar 

Place the potatoes and onions in a large pot and cover with water. Boil until they are very tender. Drain.

Mash the potatoes and onions until coarse lumpy but smooth. Season with salt, pepper, olive oil and one minced garlic clove.

Sprinkle with a little wine vinegar to taste and top each serving with a sprinkle of olive oil. 👌🏼

Alabama Baked Beans

This recipe is our favorite baked bean recipe, and is modified from the Weber Grill Out! Cookbook. I cook it stovetop, it also can be finished off on the grill. 

4 slices diced bacon

1 small onion, chopped 

1 small green pepper, chopped 

2 16 oz cans pork and beans with tomato sauce, slightly drained

1/4 cup packed brown sugar

2 tbs cider vinegar

2 tbs Worcestershire Sauce

1 tsp dry mustard

Cook the bacon in a medium skillet until crisp; remove and reserve. 

Cook the onion and pepper in the bacon drippings until tender. Stir in all remaining ingredients and simmer on medium low heat until it’s at the consistency you like. 

If you prefer to finish on the grill, spoon into a foil pan and heat on the grill until bubbly.
