While we are all safe at home with the family, most of us are cooking more than we ever did. Chef Duke Locicero of Dab’s Bistro in Metairie has some suggestions.
“For my amateur chefs, the best thing people are looking for is comfort food. You can go to the grocery and get 10 pounds of ground beef, 80/20 beef to fat, for at least four juicy delicious tasting meals.”
Some of Chef Duke’s suggestions are hamburger steak with onions and mushroom gravy, meatloaf, meatballs and spaghetti, and hamburgers on the grill.
A fun meal to cook with the kids is pizza quesadillas.
Chef Duke’s recipe has four simple ingredients; flour tortillas, pizza sauce, cheese, and pepperoni are all you need. Warm a tortilla in a non- stick pan, spread with pizza sauce, add cheese and pepperoni, then cover with a second tortilla, flip it in the pan, and when the cheese is melted and tortilla is golden brown, cut with a pizza cutter and serve.
This is a great time to spend time in the kitchen with your family.
