California Farm Tapas: Wood Fired Scampi California Farm Tapas: Wood Fired Scampi
Instead of natural manzanita charcoal, I made an oak wood fire in my grill and followed the recipe from cook pad chef Silvia using her ilFornino recipe to grill large scampi for guests.It just happens that my home built stainless steel grill has a 10” wide side door, a chimney and a flat cooking surface, so I built an oak wood fire in the back of the grill and slid a 9” cast iron pan with marinated scampi in the front when the temperature was up to 550F degrees. Thank you, Silvia. Hobby Horseman -

These are tasty even after they've been microwaved. Recipe by Miroku cookpad.japan -

My parents sent me a lot of potatoes, so I made potato croquettes imitating TANITA restaurant's baked kabocha squash croquettes recipe.(TANITA a company that makes body scales and other scales, is also famous for providing healthy lunch menus in office cafeterias.)* In Step 5, when you cut the cheese, be careful not to pull on the knife, otherwise it will cut right through through the plastic wrapper.* I am using a 1000W toaster oven., just as a reference point.* The cheese and the bacon add enough salty flavor.
