CAGE RECIPE: Ric Orlando's Famous Blackened String Beans

BLACKENED STRINGBEANS WITH CREOLE REMOULADE USING FLAVOR MAKER SPICES CAGE SEASONING Pan-blackened Stringbeans INGREDIENTS 2 pounds fresh stringbeans, stems picked off 1/3 cup or more Flavor Maker CAGE Seasoning 2 tablespoons safflower or sunflower or corn oil Serves 4-6 , Ric-ter Scale: 5 New World’s Pan-blackened Stringbeans is the single most-ordered dish at the cafe. I receive requests for the recipe via e-mail, snail mail, by telephone and in person. I love when a diner walks right up to our open kitchen on a busy night with his or her plate of blackened beans and exclaims that he needs to know how to make them. Ironically, with proper ventilation, this dish is a breeze to prepare.

Perfect Sesame Semolina Bread

I made a nice loaf on a nice Sunday and shared a picture online. Well...the requests for a recipe poured in so here it is.

Ratio and feel. the ratio of flour to water and the feel of the dough. This dough is quite moist, so think when you are kneading it, bubble gum.

The essential tool when baking bread Here is my basic recipe for Sicilian style Sesame Semolina bread. It is my FAVE! The crust will rip the roof of your mouth, I promise! Remember to use the recipe to ratio up or down depending on how much bread you are making. This recipe make one nice 18-20 oz loaf. Professionals weigh their ingredients, home cooks usually don't s...

Winter Squash and Chick Pea Tagine

WINTER SQUASH TAGINE A Tagine is a cooking vessel that originated in Morocco. It is a heavy low profile base pan with a conical chimney lid. They are traditionally terra cotta but now you can find beautiful enamel glazed cast iron models that will never crack. (You do NOT need a tagine to make this dish, but hey, the holidays are just around the corner.) The medium heat from the bottom, steam from the top cooking makes everything tender, aromatic and succulent. This is a EASY take on a somewhat complicated dish. My spice mix has everything you need to make this amazing. This is a vegetarian rendition, but add some fish or chicken if you like. Serves 4 Olive oil 1 medium onion, diced 1 cloves garlic, minced 1 tsp kosher salt 3 cups cooked chickpeas, canned or cooked from dry, drained 4 cup winter squash, peeled and cut into 1 inch cubes ( more or less) 2 tbls ‘KESH* seasoning (visit ricorlando.com to purchase or find a store) 16 oz canned tomato puree...
