Background

Hello everyone! My name is Harry, the creator of this blog. I started this blog in high school my senior year during one of my culinary classes. All the recipes dating before September 2013 are from my high school culinary classes. All of those recipes I changed around both the ingredients, adding and removing some, and amounts, increasing or decreasing, to make them my own recipe. Most of the pictures are of the dishes I made, some I forgot to take a picture of and are pictures from online that resemble the dish. Recipes that date from September 2013 onward are from my time at Johnson and Wales University, were I am studying culinary arts. Currently I am a freshman there, and the recipes are ones I made throughout my classes. I hope you enjoy making these as much as I do.

Meat Pockets

Similar to a taco, these meat pockets incorporate many qualities of a taco. The only difference is the filling gets folded inward into a pocket so it is easier to consume but taste just as amazing.

Ingredients:
             11/2 cup flour
             1/2 tsp baking powder
             1/2 tsp salt
             3 tbs olive oil
             1/2 cup boiling water
             1/4 lb hamburg
             1 tbs olive oil
             1/2 tsp garlic pieces
             1 tsp dry minced onion
             1/4 colored pepper minced
             3-4 tbs tomato sauce, salsa, or Bar-B-Q sauce

In a large bowl mix together

             11/2 cup flour
             1/2 tsp baking powder
             1/2 tsp salt

Add to bowl and stir with a fork

             3 tbs olive oil
             1/2 cup boiling water

Continue to stir with a fork until dough is soft and pliable-do not knead

Divide dough into 3-4 equal parts

Roll each dough into circles on counter that has been lightly floured

Cut hamburg into medium pieces

Brown the meat in a saute pan with

             1 tbs olive oil
             1/2 tsp garlic pieces
             1 tsp dry minced onion
             1/4 colored pepper minced

Add 3-4 tbs tomato sauce, salsa, or Bar-B-Q sauce when meat is browned

Divide meat evenly into the center of each dough circle

Optional: shred cheese and sprinkle over meat

Fold dough in half pinching edges to ensure closure

Place on baking sheet that has been dusted with cornmeal

Bake 425 17-20 minutes or until golden brown
