Had a bunch of cannoli filling leftover and was wondering what to do with it other than another batch of cannoli's. I decided on making rugelach. My normal recipe calls for cream cheese in the dough, so I swapped it out for the cannoli filling instead.

I did a few batches - rum raisin, chocolate+peanut, and the remaining canoli filling with added butterscotch chips.

I'm sure these are the first rugelach on the internet to use cannoli filling in the dough or as a rugelach filling.

Me too that rugelach looks way better than typical ones I buy from Whole Foods, which actually aren’t bad.

Nice looking rugelach btc! I've always wanted to try pecan rugelach instead of pie for Thanksgiving, but have yet to persuade friends and family.

That cassoulet is definitely not kosher, but you could certainly do it. I think cassoulet should be made with whatever you have on hand or readily available- if that means brisket instead of pork shoulder, no sausage, etc.

Pecan rugelach sound delicious. If we we're talking about Thanksgiving, you could go sweet and savory with those pecan and then do some pumpkin as well. Food for thought .

Side note - Anyone else expecting 15-18" of snow later today?

This is one of my go to weeknight dinners that’s super easy and delicious.

Peri peri chicken thighs cooked in a pan. Broccoli roasted on the top rack of the oven at 550 for 20 minutes then tossed in a sauce of some sort. Last nights was vadouvan sour cream and lemon with some fish sauce and a few drops of stevia.

It’s great because you can eat the same protein and veg over and over and just change up the spices on each.

That seems like a crazy long time for the broccoli.

Decided to set aside my snobby attitude towards pizza for the night. I'm going to attempt a broccoli crusted pie. Results to follow.

I don't care for cauliflower pizza crust but that broccoli crust looks intriguing.

20 mins is pretty standard across the board for roast broccoli. I cut my pieces pretty big so I get crunchy charred tops and firm interior.

Red,

It looks like there was sour cream there, melting into the chili.

But where are the chopped red and green onions?

Sure, but not at 550 on the top rack. Whatevever looks decent enough.

Diablo,

if it were a big dollop (like i said) there would have been plenty still visible to stir around with your spoon as you also melt the excess cheese he was missing, as well as blending in the red and green onions that you correctly identified as also missing.

Since I started making El D's chili a few years ago, all other chili is pretty much dead to me.

Best way to cook broccoli to place relatively large cut pieces in a very hot, lightly oiled pan. (While the broccoli is cooking mix a good bit of salt and pepper in a glass of warm water.) Don't stir. The broccoli will start to brown on the side that touches the pan in about a minute. Once it is brown, pour the warm salted water directly into the pan and partially cover. In a few minutes, the broccoli will be the proper texture and the water mostly will have cooked off.

Voila.

Both chicken broccoli look nicely cooked. Oil any seasoning on the broccoli? Chicken all stovetop in the pan or do you also throw it in the oven?

Best way to cook broccoli is to lightly steam or blanch it, then hit it with some salt and oil/butter. imo. Oh yeah, then douse it in cheese whiz.

Have you tried baked in oven? I think steamed is my personal least favorite behind baked and pan fried.

Broccoli gets oil Salt and pepper pre roast and a sauce after.

Chicken is all pan. Start them skin side down on medium to render some fat and get the skin crispy then flip.
