Our second recipe submission comes from Debra Keil of Eliot’s Eats. These little chicken meatballs are so cute and are perfect for a party appetizer (I’m thinking potentially for this weekend’s tailgate party!). Check out the recipe below, and make sure to visit Debra’s blog for a chance to win some Saucy Mama products!
Stuffed Hot Wing Chicken Meatballs
Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 3)
1 c. Granny Smith apple, peeled and grated
1/4 c. loose flat Italian parsley leaves
1/4 c. Italian seasoned bread crumbs
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/2 t. sea salt
1/4 t. pepper
1/4 c. crumbled blue cheese
1/8 c. Saucy Mama Hot Wing Sauce
For garnish:
2 stalks celery, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 yellow or orange bell pepper, cut into 1 inch ieces
1/8 c. Saucy Mama Hot wing Sauce
1 T. crumbled blue cheese
Directions:
Cut chicken breasts into large chunks and pulse in food processor with blade until you have a very coarse ground. Place chicken in a large mixing bowl. Add apple, parsley, bread crumbs, garlic, egg, salt and pepper. Mix with hands until incorporated.
Using a 1 inch ice cream or cookie scoop, form each meatball around a crumble of blue cheese, sealing the cheese inside. Each meatball should be about 1 inch. Place on a foil lined baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and glaze with 1/8 c. Saucy Mama hot wing sauce. Garnish with celery and bell pepper as an appetizer. Serve with remaining 1/8 c. hot wing sauce topped with crumbled blue cheese on the side for dipping.
Makes about 42 meatball appetizers (enough for at least 12 people).
And we’re off! The “I am a Saucy Mama” Contest begins with Hot Wing Wontons!
August 31st, 2010
It’s finally time! It took us a while to get out all 50 sample orders for our “I am a Saucy Mama” Contest, but the participant’s recipes are starting to come in! This is such an exciting time for us; we get to see fresh, innovative ideas for Saucy Mama sauces and hear what our contestants think about them. Eventually, we will try all the recipes too (that’s our favorite part), and determine the winner, who will receive a $1000 cash prize. This month is going to be filled with trying these new dishes and sharing the recipes throughout our community on the web. Make sure you check back here for great new recipes from your favorite food bloggers…I can assure you, there’s going to be some really fantastic ones!
Here is the very first recipe we have received: Hot Wing Wontons. Submitted by Jodie from Eatin’ on the Cheap, these little babies look absolutely delicious and original, and we can’t wait to try them! The recipe is below; however, make sure you check out her page too, because she has some Saucy Mama goodies for giveaway. Also feel free to download our button for your own page if you like Saucy Mama!
Hot Wing Wontons
Ingredients:
1 cup finely chopped cooked chicken
1/3 cup finely chopped cabbage
1 large carrot, grated
1 celery stalk, finely chopped or grated
1/2 cup Saucy Mama’s Hot Wing Sauce
1 egg, beaten
1 package of Wonton Wrappers
Canola or vegetable oil for frying ( about 1/2 gallon ) Blue Cheese dressing for dipping
Directions:
In a deep sided pot, heat your oil to 350 using a thermometer.
Meanwhile mix together chicken, cabbage, carrot, celery and wing sauce. Lay out a few wrappers and put a teaspoon of filling in the middle of each.Brush all 4 sides with a little egg wash and then fold wrapper over and press out all the air and seal the edges. You can then either leave them in triangles or, for a more bite size package, fold the corners in to create a little purse. Continue until all the wontons are done.
Gently drop 4 or 5 wontons in the hot oil at a time, frying until golden brown all over, about 1-2 minutes.
Remove and drain on paper towels.
Last week I headed up to Pacific Market Center in Seattle to do a cooking demo about the ease of meal making when you are supplied with the right sauces (from Saucy Mama of course!) They have a terrific demo space, and I had a great time. Trish and John McQuire from The Professional Bag Lady were there to lend a hand. They were terrific. I demonstrated how fast it is to make Chipotle Spinach Roll-ups for an appetizer, and then for a salad course, I made a Date, Bacon, Parmesan and Pine Nut Salad. For the main dish, I made A Little Cracked Shrimp with asparagus and pasta for a main dish. I’ll try to post these recipes soon!
Also while in Seattle, I got to try some great restaurants (but more on that later). For now, just lets say poor Trish was a trooper. We took her to a multi-course 5 hour dinner when she was so tired she could hardly move. Good thing it was really delicious! The pictures above are of me and Trish and also me cooking at the demo. It was so much fun
Hi friends. Colette here. While Suzie- Saucy Mama- is out of town, spending a few days at the coast shopping with her granddaughter Macy (adorable granddaughter, I might add), I decided to do a little research on our company’s favorite holiday- National Mustard Day.
When I first heard about National Mustard Day a few months ago, I chuckled, because there’s really a whole day dedicated to a single condiment? I mean, it is a delicious condiment, but who decided to create such a holiday? And how do people celebrate? Well, throughout the course of my new beginnings at Barhyte Specialty Foods and my National Mustard Day homework, let’s just say that the times have changed for me. Perhaps I have gone through a “Mustard-Appreciation Transformation” (we can call it my MAT!).
What started my MAT was my learning of the National Mustard Museum and its curator, Barry Levenson. Barry funneled his passion for collecting mustards by creating this museum and declaring himself “CMO”- Chief Mustard Officer. Located in Middleton, Wisconsin, the museum features different mustards from all 50 United States and 60 countries!
And so, my curiosity was sparked, and I had to learn more. I found a National Mustard Museum Catalog in the office and started flipping through it. What I did not expect was to actually laugh out loud as I looked through the pages! The catalog features hilarious gifts- a yodeling pickle? A squeezable stress wiener? Even the advertisements were funny (learn how to “Speak Mustard”). In the catalog, I also discovered America’s Mustard College- “Poupon U”- where you can buy a diploma and array of fun merchandise. They even have college fight songs.
Barry also established National Mustard Day (sponsored by the National Mustard Museum, of course!) which is celebrated annually on the first Saturday in August at the museum. There are free hot dogs, free mustard samplings, bands, and even mustard games for kids (I saw a “fishing for mustard” game on the event poster!). They obviously mean major mustard business. The best part is that all game proceeds and donations are given to charity. Sounds like a fun Saturday to me! Oh, and did I mention we are sponsors of the event? Pretty cool.
Lastly, I learned that I was so wrong in saying that the holiday was dedicated to a “single” condiment. Yes, mustard is the broad category, but there are so many amazing varieties! We have seven unique mustards under our Saucy Mama label alone. Add on all of Barry’s 5,000+ varieties in his museum, and you have endless mustard opportunities! (As a side note, my favorite is Saucy Mama’s Chipotle Mustard).
To sum it all up, I can truly say that I am now a passionate “mustard lady”. Some might call me a “mustard nerd”…or maybe just a “mustNerd” for short (get it?). Okay, that was a little silly, but in all seriousness, I now totally appreciate mustard- and all its amazing varieties- and I’m excited to share the passion! Lots of this comes from working for a condiment company, but another part came from Barry and the National Mustard Museum. I encourage you to check out Barry’s website and enjoy some mustard this Saturday to celebrate National Mustard Day!
Grilled Lime Chipotle Pork Chops with Nectarine Salsa
July 28th, 2010
Lately I have been noticing many interesting ways to use fruit for cooking. I have seen watermelon and feta cheese salads and fruits soaked in alcohol for a yummy, adult summer-time snack. This recipe, which came from last year’s food blogger cooking contest, is from Candy at Soupbelly. Candy uses our Lime Chipotle Marinade for her pork chops and then creates her own nectarine salsa…just looking at the picture makes me hungry!
Here’s her recipe for this easy meal. She also has this posted on her own blog, which has LOTS of amazing photos of the prep and the meal. Make sure to check that out also.
We are giving a big shout-out “THANK YOU!” to Jennifer of Eighty MPH Mom and The Speedy Gourmet. She gave our Saucy Mama products a great review on her blog and shared her own ideas for using Saucy Mama marinades and sauces. She is also hosting her own giveaway, where two lucky winners will recieve a gift pack of Saucy Mama products. It’s easy to enter, so take a look at the review and enter on her website!
Hi everyone! Colette here. When I visited Pendleton a few weeks ago, I got some great pictures and video footage of Barhyte Specialty Food’s factory and offices. While I was there, they were in the process of making, bottling, and packaging Saucy Mama’s Hot Wing Sauce, and I got to see it all in action! It’s actually a very fun process to watch. My favorite part of it was watching the hot wing sauce shoot into the glass bottles and fill up to the top. It just never got boring! Also, everyone working there was very friendly and they seemed to be having a good time. So I took all my clips and made a short, fun video of the production line for you to see. Enjoy!
On Sunday night of this week, Virgil’s at Cimmiyotti’s, a local restaurant here in Pendleton, had their one year anniversary party. It was great fun! Anyone who has ever been in the restaurant business knows how much work is required to start a new restaurant and then keep it running successfully. Jennifer Keeton, the owner, has not only done those two things, but she has also done them while being a single mom. Good job Jennifer!
Cimmiyotti’s had been a Pendleton favorite since the 1950’s, and when Paul Cimmiyotti decided to retire several years ago, he was sorely missed. While travelling through Pendleton, Jennifer (who was from Mariposa, CA) found the empty restaurant, which had been closed for a while and had become very run down. She knew it was the place for her, so she located the property owner, negotiated a deal with him, rolled up her sleeves and got to work.
She has kept the essence of the Cimmiyotti heritage while still making it all hers. Her staff is fabulous, and it is just a great place to go to see old friends and meet new ones.
One of the new guys we met while at Cimmi’s last week was Dustin Romney who is a good friend of Thor the bartender. Dustin is taking a road trip on his motorcycle and blogging about it at www.holdmybeer.tumblr.com. His blog is fun to follow, and it reminds me of how much Jan and I love taking back roads, just exploring and finding unusual, out of the way places.
The picture is of Me, Thor (he’s here from Cayucos, CA and dang cute), Jennifer, and Jan (well, Jan, I think you are cute too!)
