Happy Fathers Day to all the dads out there! The kind of love I want to share with Rory is similar to Le Creusets approach to building products. Timeless, solid and colourful! I have a few of their products, but I knew I wanted to incorporate their huge casserole dish, to make a mountain of Portuguese Potatoes, a little too spicy for Rory now, but one day he will love them! I also loved their panini press and pan, making the ultimate grilled cheese with my viral bacon recipe! The full recipe for both is below!
Portuguese Potatoes:
Ingredients:
8-10 potatoes, peeled and diced
1 cup pimento paste
1/2 cup olive oil
1 tbsp salt
Method:
Add everything to the casserole dish and cover with tin foil. Bake at 425F for 30 minutes, or until tender and soft.
Remove and server right away!
Bacon Tomato and Cheese Panini
Ingredients:
2 slices sourdough bread
2 slices of cheese
3 slices of tomato
1 brick of smoked tofu
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp maple syrup
2 tbsp cornstarch
Method:
Preheat the oven to 425F. Slice the tofu very thin, I used a vegetable peeler. Toss in a bowl with olive oil, soy sauce, maple syrup and cornstarch. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping occasionally. Remove and set aside.
Heat up the panini pan and the lid over medium heat.
Remove the lid and set aside, it should be hot. Add a splash of oil. Place 1 slice of bread down, top with cheese, tomato, bacon and the top piece of bread. Place the lid and press down firm. Cook for 5-10 minutes, until everything is golden and warmed through. Remove and serve up with those spicy potatoes.
