“This Turkish-style pizza is a Turkish flat bread layered with a fresh sauce composed of tomatoes, sweet bell peppers, and minced lamb cooked with a flavorful selection of Mediterranean spices. It is normally garnished with fresh salad and a creamy garlic sauce and or a tangy zesty hot red pepper sauce. It is a really light meal, but filling and flavorful. I find it worth the time to make if I can’t get it from my favorite Turkish bakery in my old neighborhood in Amsterdam. For the best flavor, make the topping the night before you make the pizza.”

My grandma always made them for Christmas, but since she can’t do it anymore, I came up with my own variation that she loves because mine are a little bit sweeter than the traditional bread-like ones. Also, they have to be formed into a tower…it’s tradition.” Ingredients: Struffoli: 4 eggs 1/4 cup white sugar 1/4 cup vegetable oil 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, or as needed 2 cups vegetable oil for frying, or as needed Glaze: 1/2 cup honey, or more to taste 1/2 cup white sugar, or more to taste   1 tablespoon rainbow nonpareil sprinkles, or to taste Directions: Beat eggs , 1/4 cup white sugar 1/4 cup vegetable oil , and vanilla extract together in a bowl ; movement disintegrant .

Garlic and Onion Boiled Peanuts

By Anonymous -
“Here’s an original twist to a Southern favorite. The garlic flavor really comes out in this recipe whether the peanuts are served hot or cold. I love them served room temperature with a cold beer on a summer day! You can also begin cooking the peanuts, then let them soak overnight, and continue cooking the next day. Serve hot or cold, and make sure you have plenty of napkins on hand because these are messy.” Ingredients: 1 tablespoon butter 1 large onion, cut into wedges 30 cloves garlic 1 1/2 pounds raw peanuts, in shells 1/2 pound salt Directions: Butter in a large saucepan over medium heat . Stir in the onion and garlic ; cook until soft and translucent , about 10 minutes. Turn off the heat . Add the peanuts and salt to onion mixture.
