Recipes from Sunday

So I had a few requests for the recipes to be posted with the pictures. So listed below is the recipes for this past Sunday dinner.

Guacamole Dip
3 ripe avocados
1 small red onion (1/4 cup)
2 cloves garlic
cilantro to taste
1 jalapeno (or pepper of choice)
1 large tomato
juice of 1 lime
salt and pepper to taste

Mix all ingredients in bowl and place in refrigerator. Serve when ready to eat. You can mash the avocados or cut into chunks depending on how you like yours.

Mozzarella Sticks
12 prepackaged cheese sticks or cut fresh low moisture mozzarella into strips
1 1/2 cups panko bread crumbs (Lisa did not care for the panko, will grind into a finer crumb next time.)
4 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
pepper to taste
4 eggs
1 cup AP flour
3 pie tins

1st tin - bread crumbs, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper.
2nd tin - eggs
3rd tin - flour

Roll cheese sticks into flour, then in egg, then in bread crumb mixture. Then once all 12 sticks are coated start back with the egg, then bread crumb to add a 2nd layer. This will ensure a good coating so that when you fry they will not leak. Once the coatings are done place on a pan in place in freeze for 2 hours. When ready to cook you can bake them or fry 3-5 minutes in 350 degree oil.

Pizza Sauce
28 oz crushed tomatoes (diced if you want a chunky sauce)
8 oz tomato sauce
2 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons of olive oil
1/2 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
black pepper to taste
*added a small amount of red pepper flake to give it some heat.

Mix all ingredients in a pot over medium heat. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to a simmer for 15-30 minutes.

For the pizza I purchased a pre-made dough and added pizza sauce, onions, fresh mozzarella and pepperoni. I have made my own pizza dough but to get the best results it needs a day or two in the refrigerator to set up. So with short notice we ended up just buying one already made. That's it for this weeks recipes. If you have any questions let me know.
