I wanted to come up with Something Different for the viewers this super bowl season something out of the norm. Never thought of tacos. This is an interesting taco. Took a traditional recipe called chicken scapaelli. It is a reduction of white vinegar. It is simple. These are the raw ingredients, peppers, raw sausage, chicken, onions. This literally goes to a frying pan with a cover. Keep mixing it. Salt and pepper. As soon as it is cooked white wine vinegar and this is what you are left with. Id never think of sausage instead of ground beef. If you dont eat meat substitute for tofu for vegetarians. And fill them in the tacos. Is very simple and little tomato on top of that cilantro and you are set to go. I think it is nice you can keep it this way with a bowl so people can serve themselves and doesnt get soggy. Takes the pressure off the host. Fancy buffet. Over here is a sandwich thats a little out of the norm as well. A chicken, basically cut in to bits them trick is this here. This is called pidi. The portuguese have taught me what to do with the hot sauce. It is an oil with pepper flakes. Puree it in a blender and thats what you have. You have to be careful because it is super hot. Before you make the sandwich this is how we get the spiciness to this. And then we mix it up and pretty much the chicken is all ready. Oil oil and red pepper. The sandwich is simple as well. Put the chicken on the bottom roasted peppers and onions. And this is a beauty. This is a sauce made out of yogurt base. But were not going to tell the public that. I should say the men. It is not mayo. It is pure yogurt with blue cheese. I have to try this. You let it marinate the night before. You will never know this is yogurt. I almost guarantee sglit it is fantastic. Lovely. I bet nobody will know. It is the same thing. If you decide you like to prepare the sandwiches this way you can do so. Leave them for people to take. This makes it really nice and you can prepare them and get a big hero. What is nice if you get a bread and you want to make them big and have somebody cut them up the size you like them so you dont have to worry about it. Portion control. Hot dogs, huh . This is out of the norm. Everybody will love. This doesnt get simpler than this. Little pros chet toe on a cutting board and mozzarella and you can buy it in the supermarket already sliced. I will do this one and you can do this one and we can see how easy it is. Basically rolls up and you are done. Fantastic. Really easy. What with is really nice is you can take this here. This is cole slaw with a little dried cranberries. Put this on top, pop it in the oven and this is what you are left with. Inkredsable. Once it comes out, you can serve it on a plat flat platter the way it is there. This is the beauty of it. If i you have people that dont want to eat bread, a person can walk around and eat it this way. At the end of the day if you have buns you can take this and do this. The guests can put it right on the bread and then of course top it with a little bit of you know cole slaw toppings or whatever it may be. And this is basically what with we have for this.
