A FLAVOR UTILITY KNIFE

Garlic-Mustard-Jalapeno Mix does a lot of things really well.

For versatilty of flavor, it's hard to beat Old Saratoga GMJ Mix.  This mix is not trying to set anyone on fire.  Even though it has jalapeno, a modest  amount mixed with mayonnaise on a sandwich, sour cream on a potato, or even sprinkled on nachos gives more flavor than heat.  If you shake more of it on, you get a semi mild jalapeno heat.  Pair with Old Saratoga Smoked Kosher Salt for burgers or grilled lamb or pork chops.

If you or someone in your house is a little sopicier than the others, GMJ can be sprinkled on most finished foods because its low salt content won't throw off the salt balance.  Sprinkle on things like slices of pizza, scrambled eggs/breakfast sandwiches, potato salad, even a cracker with a pepperoni slice and cheddar.  (As the person writing this, I can tell you that I keep one in the car.  You never know when you're going to end up in a Waffle House or Denny's.)

Here's a quick recipe for some awesome grilled chicken:

Cut across 3-5 chicken breasts so you have several thin flat pieces.  Marinate in a combination of chopped cilantro, 2 tbsp lime juice, 1/8 cup brown sugar, and two teaspoons of Old Saratoga GMJ Mix.  Grill and serve topped with some fresh pico de gallo.

September

Time to impress the family and any very lucky guests with braised short ribs, garlic mashed and grilled mixed vegetables.

Start with about three pounds boneless beef short ribs.  Generously apply Garlic, Smoked Salt, Pepper/Jalapeno/5Pepper/or Death depending on your taste.  Place in a baking or roasting pan.  (If desired add a celery stalk or two, a quartered sweet onion, and some sliced carrot and maybe a handful mushrooms.)    Add about 1/4 cup water, cover with foil, and place in a 185 degree oven for about 6-8 hours.  They should become so tender that, unless you slice them with a very sharp smooth blade knife, they fall apart.  If desired, take some of the rendered fat and juice and make a quick gravy.

Peel 6-8 medium Burbank or Russet potatoes.  Dice, boil until tender, drain, and place in a large mixing bowl.  Add one 8 oz cream cheese and 1/2 stick of unsalted butter together in a microwave safe bowl.  Next add 2 tsp GSS-P/J/5P/or D depending on your taste.  Then add 1/2 clove of very finely diced fresh garlic or about 1 tsp granulated garlic. To make it easier, microwave the butter, cream cheese, and seasoning blend on a lower setting to soften and combine before mixing with the potatoes.  Mash until the desired level of smoothness is reached.  Top with chopped parsley or chives (if you're really feelin' it).

Now the vegetables.  This recipe uses carrot, yellow squash, zucchini, onion, and bell pepper.  Slice the carrots to about 1/2 an inch, the squash and zucchini to about 3/4 inch.  The onion and pepper cut first in quarters.  Then cut each piece in half creating 1/8 sized pieces of each.  Place the veggies on a flat blade metal skewer, spritz with baking spray and dust with a little Smoked Kosher Salt.  Tip- if you crush or powder the smoked salt, it will stick better to vegetables.  Grill or place on an open pan in a 350 degree oven until tender.

Put on the show!!  Place a spoonful of mashed potatoes in the center of the plate.  Top with a couple of slices short ribs.  Surround with a skewer's worth of vegetables and crown with the gravy you made from the pan juice.  Serves 4-5

Disclaimer- next time you go to a fancy place and the food isn't as good as what you make at home, your significant other is going to give you a funny look.

With all of the fresh veggies coming in from the garden, it's time to enjoy the fruits of labor....

BRUSCHETTA- maybe the easiest treat from your garden.  Slice a ripe tomato.  Lay the slices on a plate.  Top each with a slice of fresh mozzarella cheese.Drizzle wth some balsamic vinegar or dressing and sprinkle with OSSR Provencal Herb and Garlic Mix..

SAUTEED SQUASH with ONION-  Slice your yellow sqash thin.  Slice some sweet onion to the same thickness.  Start a large skillet on medium.  Add unsalted butter.  Once butter starts to bubble, drop squash and onions in the pan along with OSSR GSSP or GSS5P mix.  Toss to brown slightlty while keeping the pan hot.  Usually takes about 5 minutes.

JULY 2020

Since you're not going to Maine this summer......

But you still want that summer taste, you're going to have to go DYI.  Start with the right rolls.  New England Style rolls are made to be butter grilled.  Add GSSP for mild, GSS5P for medium, or GSSD for you crazy hot people and grill it right on.  Doesn't matter if you split it and grill it, drop it in the pot yourself, or pay the friendly person where you buy it, somehow get that baby cooked.  Remove it from the shell, chop into whatever size pieces you like, and refrigerate to cool.

While that is in the fridge cooling, dice some celery and some sweet onion very finely.  No one wants a big chunk of onion in their salad.  Add enough mayo for your taste to the lobster, mix in the veggies, and add any flavor mix desired (Horseradish, Garlic,and Chive, Southwest Zest, Garlic-Mustard-Jalapeno, OKMFR).  Place mix back in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving.

When it's time, butter the sides of the roll, sprinkle on the salt mix of choice, and grill.  When golden brown and delicious, fill with lobster salad, dust with flavor mix one more time if you want and devour.

HOT DOGS, CHILI DOGS, AND SUPER DOGS

Hot Dogs- Whether it is a beef, pork, turkey, or chicken dog, it never sits alone.  Kids slather on ketchup and go to town.  More grown up tastes might bring on the mustard, relish, and onion.  Why not add another layer to the flavors?  Make it a jalapeno dog (GMJ), a chipotle dog (SWZ), a horseradish dog (HGC), or a fire dog (OKMFR) by just adding a sprinkle to complete your masterpiece.

Chili/Cheese Dogs-  The meat sauce starts with 1 lb 80-20 ground beef.  Brown in a skillet making sure to break up any chunks.  Add 1/2 tsp Old Saratoga GSSP and 1 1/4 tsp Old Saratoga TFC mix.  (If you want a spicier meat sauce, add some GMJ, SWZ, or OKMFR as well.)  Next add 1 tbsp dehydrated minced onion or 1/4 cup sweet onion diced very small.  Lastly, stir in 1- 8 oz can tomato sauce and simmer for 5-10 minutes.  For the cheese sauce, combine in a microwave safe dish:  10-12 slices American cheese, 1- 8 oz pkg shredded cheddar, and 1 cup milk.  Wave on full power one minute at a time (so you don't have to stand there), stirring between each minute.  Once sauce is melted, add 1 1/2 tsp Green Chili Blast, GMJ, SWZ, or OKMFR.  Use the extra sauce for nachos.

Superdogs-  Wrap a quarter pound beef frank in a thick bacon slice securing the ends with toothpicks.  Deep fry or grill until the bacon is cooked.  Remove the toothpicks and place in a split hoagie roll.  Go giant chili/cheese, HGC with diced onion, or my personl favorite- red onion, sliced avocado, tomato wedges, and a healthy drizzle of Old Saratoga GSSJ Jalapeno sour cream.  (1 tsp GSSJ Mix with 2/3 cup sour cream.  Any extra is great for chips.

FRIED CHICKEN AND POTATO WEDGES

As always, our recipe will provide spicy and non spicy options.  You will need:

A cast iron skillet, a Fry Daddy type fryer, or an air fryer.

3-4 lbs chicken pieces

2- 2 1/2 lbs russet potatoes (White or red potatoes do not work as well for this application.)

All purpose flour

2-3 eggs, beaten

About 3 cups seasoned breadcrumbs

2 tsp Old Saratoga Smoked Kosher Salt

2 tbsp Old Saratoga Garlic, Smoked Salt, Pepper Mix (or Sugar Free BBQ, 5 Pepper Salt, or even Death Salt, depending on how hot you want things)

2 tsp Old Saratoga Portobello, Southwest, Garlic- Mustard-Jalepeno, OKMFR, or Green Chile Blast

Canola or corn oil for your frying

Start prep by mixing 1 tsp smoked salt, 1 1/2 tbsp GSSP (BBQ, 5P, or Death), and one tsp of PBF, SWZ, GMJ, OKMFR, or GCB) Marinate the chicken in this mix in the fridge overnight.  Use large food storage bags and turn them over before you go to bed and when you get up for best coverage.

A couple of hours before cooking time, dredge the marinated chicken in flour and place on a rack or parchment paper covered baking pan and place back in the fridge to dry.

Cut the potatoes lengthwise into wedges about 1/2 inch across the skin side.  Place half in a microwave safe dish with just enough water to cover.  Cook for about 6-8 minutes until partially done.  Drain.  Repeat with other half.  When potatoes are starting to dry but still sticky, dredge in flour mixed with the remainder of the GSSP Mix, knock off excess, and place on a rack or pan to finish drying.  (I usually cheat and use a small fan.)  After 15 or 20 minutes, drop into the beaten eggs and then into the breadcrumbs.  Then back on the pan/rack for another half hour of drying.

NOW it's time to get cooking!  Preheat your oven to 250 degrees and your oil to 350.  Carefully place larger pieces of chicken into the oil and drop the temp to 325.  After about ten minutes, remove the larger pieces, raise the temp back to 350, and place the mostly cooked chicken on a drip rack, above a pan, in the oven to finish cooking.  When the oil is back to temp, repeat the process moving last to the smaller pieces which may take a little less frying time.  After the chicken is in the oven finishing, start running the wedges through the oil, 8-10 at a time, placing them in the oven on parchment paper to drain. Lastly, take one teaspoon smoked salt and crush it to a powder in a grinder, mortar and pestle, or between two spoons.  Combine with the last teaspoon of spice mix and dust your wedges before serving.

Chili Mac and Cheese

This version is kid friendly for taste ease of prep.

8 oz each shredded cheddar, American slices, and milk (that's 1 cup)

1 lb uncooked macaroni

1 lb ground beef or turkey

1 -10 oz can Rotel diced tomatoes with green chiles

1- 14 oz can black or kidney beans

1- 6 oz can tomato sauce (optional)

1/2 tsp Old Saratoga Smoked Kosher Salt

1 1/2 tsp Old Saratoga Taco, Fajita, Chile Mix

Three things need to happen simultaneously.  Start water for the macaroni.  Place cheeses and milk in a microwave safe dish and heat one minute at a time, stirring after each minute until smooth. While that is happening, start the ground meat in a 12 inch skillet.  Once it is cooked, remove from the heat,  drain any fat desired, and add the smoked kosher salt, beans, and the diced tomatoes/sauce.  Add the Taco, Fajita, Chili Mix and then the cheese sauce.  Stir together.

By now the pasta should be almost done.  Drain and place in a large bowl.  Add chili/cheese mixture and serve.  Makes 6-8 servings.

We all eat it.  Why don't we season it up a little ?

Bacon, sausage, eggs, pancakes, biscuits and gravy, and homefries are all fine but can be a little boring.  No matter if it's your kitchen, a diner, or a drive through, try kicking off the day with a little kick of your own.  

Bacon, sausage, biscuits and gravy: Sprinkle fresh cooked bacon or sausage with your choice of Garlic-Mustard-Jalapeno, Southwest Zest, OKMFR, Horseradish, Garlic, and Chive Mix, or Sweet Dragon Spice.  For biscuits and gravy (which is actually not hard to make), season with GSSP or GSS5P and add GMJ, SWZ, or OKMFR.

Eggs:  At one time or another, customers have told us they use every single flavor we make on eggs.  Whether scrambled, over easy, or sunny side up, add before, during, or after cooking.  Personal favorites are Smoked Kosher Salt with GMJ Mix, Green Chile Blast, or GSS5P scrambled in before cooking.  Flavors like Portobello and Friends, Horseradish, Garlic, and Chive, or Sweet Dragon Spice are better to add on the plate.

Homefries:  We dice potato, carrot, and onion, cover them in water in a microwave safe dish, and zap (cook them on high) for about ten minutes.  With about a minute to go, start butter melting in a non-stick pan on medium.  When done, drain the veggies and add to butter.  Season with GSSP (mild), GSSJ (mild-med), GSS5P (medium), or GSSD  (crazy hot spuds) and toss while browning.

Pancakes:  Add GSS5P or GSSD to your batter to make spicy pancakes.  Top with sausage gravy and a fried egg.

FEBRUARY

A real 30 minute meal with no stagehands or camera tricks.

Red or green.  Besides being the official state question of New Mexico, it’s also a fair question for dinner.  This stovetop casserole is seasoned with red or green chiles and can be made with chicken, turkey, beef, or pork.  It can also be prepared vegetarian or vegan.  This version is the party or family sized.

Parts list:

2 lbs ground meat of your choice

8 oz shredded sharp cheddar

8 oz American (10-11 slices)

1 lb uncooked pasta

1 can Diced tomato with Green chiles

1 tsp Smoked Kosher Salt

                    RED                                         GREEN

    1 can tomato sauce                                   1 can roasted green chiles

  1 tbsp Old Saratoga TFC Mix                       1 tbsp Old Saratoga (R)GCB

  1 can large red kidney beans                         1 can small navy beans

   1 can diced tomato, drained     (OPTIONAL)      1 can diced tomato, drained

In pan one, start water for the pasta.  In the next pan, a large non stick skillet if you have one, start browning the ground beef.  After draining any undesired fat, season the meat with the salt and half of the TFC/(R)GCB.  Add the canned goods and bring to a simmer.  For non-meat, spray the pan with some oil and start adding the canned goods.  Once at a simmer, add the cheese and remaining spice, stir to combine, and remove from the heat.

At some point, the pasta has to go in the water, cook, get drained (Never Rinsed!), and put back in its pan.  Then the meat, cheese, bean, and veggie combo gets stirred in.  This recipe will nearly fill a 5 qt slow cooker.  Pro hint:  orange cheese looks fine in the red version but not so much in the green.  The green version looks much more appetizing if you use white cheese.

January 2020

Just back from our favorite food town anywhere- New Orleans- with some inspiration. How about a (Big) EASIER SHRIMP AND GRITS?

You'll want:

2 lbs shrimp (Gulf shrimp if you can get 'em), peeled and de-veined

4 oz unsalted butter

1/4 cup each finely diced sweet onion and bell pepper (green, red, yellow, orange- don't matter)

1 tsp Old Saratoga GSSP (mild) or GSS5P (spicy) and 1 tsp GMJ, HGC, PHG, OKMFR, or PBF

8 oz shredded cheese

4 servings grits

Chicken or vegetable stock

1/4 cup chopped green onion

Prepare grits first.  For more flavor, use chicken or vegetable stock instead of water. When the grits near completion, start melting the butter on medium heat.  As the grits finish, stir in the shredded cheese and half of the low salt seasoning.  (This is where you start choosing: Jalapeno? GMJ, Horseradish? HGC, Crazy hot? OKMFR, Garlic-Parm? PHG) Set completed grits aside.

In your other pan, as soon as the butter starts to brown a little add the veggies and a bit of the saltier spice blend:  GSSP for mild, 5P for spicy, GSSD for you culinary crazies.  After two or three minutes, lower the heat to med-low, add the shrimp and the remainder of salty OSSR blend, then cook another two minutes.  (Add a pinch of flour to thicken the sauce if desired.)  Deglaze with a bit of the stock.  Portion out the grits in four bowls.  Dust each with a little of the remaining 1/2 tsp low salt blend, spoon on the shrimp and sauce, top with green onion, and serve.

Lassaize le bon TASTES rouler!!

Suggested combos:

GSSP and PBF - savory, mild (gruyere)

GSSP and PHG - Garlic/Parm (Parmesan)

GSSP and HGC - Horseradish (mild cheddar)

GSS5P and GMJ - Spicy (Sharp Cheddar or pepper Jack)

GSS5P and OKMFR - Crazy Hot (Habanero cheddar)

December 2019

Whether your holiday is Solstice Day, Christmas, Chanukah, Kwanzaa, National Sangria Day (Dec 20), Mongolian Independence Day (Dec 29), or even Thaipusam (January 2020), we hope you enjoy a happy one with those you love.  This month we go down our list of holiday uses for all flavors.

SKS-  Everything.  Those who use our smoked kosher salt usually agree it makes anything taste better.

GSSP- As we tend to say- it goes on virtually anything that sits still long enough.  Potatoes, meats like prime rib or yak (for our Mongolian friends), fish, vegetables, salads, slaws, cheese balls, or soups.

GSSJ, GSS5P, GSSD-  all three of these flavors go well on meats, fish, veggies, potatoes, egg dishes, or everyone's favorite: dips (the 1-2-3 recipe/ one teaspoon spice mix, two thirds of a cup of sour cream).  Enjoy with your sangria.

PHG- Use this herb and garlic blend for poultry, light tasting fish, tomato/mozzarella salad, oven roasted potatoes, or add to a store bought stuffing mix to add some homemade flavor.

TFC, GCB, SWZ- all these make great vegetable dips whether you add them to sour cream, Greek yogurt, or store bought salsa.

PBF- add this to your potato or turkey spice to add depth of flavor.  Definitely use in gravies, sauces, and meat dishes.

OKMFR, GMJ- Add to salsas, cheese dishes, deviled eggs, meats, potatoes, fish, or veggies for a little zip (GMJ) or a LOT of zip (OKMFR).

HGC- Sprinkle on your prime rib, fish, eggs or roast beef.  Use to make dips with sour cream or spreads with cream cheese.

(Sugar Free) BBQ, Sweet & Smoky, Sweet Barbecue, Lime Jerk-use for any meat, venison, fish, poultry, or even roasted veggies.

Hot Que- 1 brick cream cheese, 1- 12 oz sour cream, one small jar roasted red peppers (drained and chopped), and 2-3 teaspoons Hot Que.  Combine and have some crackers ready.

Sweet Dragon Spice- Popcorn balls, French Toast, fish, and even some teriyaki noodles and vegetables for our vegan friends.

NOVEMBER  2019

HOMEMADE TAQUITOS WITH DIPPING SAUCE

Start with four roasted chicken leg quarters.  Remove the skin and bones and finely chop the meat.  Mix with about 3-4 ounces crumbled queso fresco,  2-3 ounces shredded cheddar, a small can of mild roasted green chiles, and 1 heaping teaspoon of (Roasted) Green Chile Blast.  Combine meat, cheese and spices in a bowl and set aside.  In a skillet, set the heat between med and med-hi and start heating a quarter to a half an inch of canola oil.  Using white or yellow corn tortillas, place a spoonful of the meat mix in a line across the tortilla.  Roll and then secure with a toothpick.  (If you push the meat in a little with your finger tips after the taquito is rolled, little will fall out during cooking.)  Brown each rolled taquito in the hot oil quickly and drain on a paper towel and then a wire rack.

For the dipping sauce, combine 1 tsp GSSJ, GSS5P, GSSD, or more (R)GCB with 2/3 of a cup of sour cream or creme fresh.  If desired, add some chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime.  Mix and dip.

OCTOBER 

TERIYAKI PULLED PORK (or beef or chicken) WITH CARROT/RAISIN SLAW

Start with about 3-5 pounds of your protein of choice.  It could be a whole chicken, a beef roast, or a pork butt or loin.  Place it in a slow cooker (or a covered roasting pan in the oven at 350 degrees) with 1/8 cup each: Sweet Dragon Spice, soy sauce, brown sugar and one cup water.  If you wish to add more marinade later, that's no problem.  (To reduce the fat, remove the skin from chicken and excess fats from the meat before cooking.)  Cover and cook until pull apart tender.  Vegans can use the Sweet Dragon/soy/sugar mixture to marinate tofu or vegetables before grilling.

After starting the the protein, it's time to slaw.  Start with a 14 oz can of crushed pineapple.  Drain.  Next, wash and dry about half a bag of matchstick carrots.  After that, you will need 1/2 cup of white raisins, 1/2 cup of mayonnaise, and 1 tsp Old Saratoga GSSP.  Combine all ingredients and refrigerate.

Now comes the big finish.  Take a good roll, split it, butter it, and sprinkle a little GSSP on before you grill it (or brown it in a frying pan).  Then stack your roll bottom, pulled meat, slaw, and roll top.  It will take your tongue to a place it's probably never been.  Enjoy!

FAVORITES

BBQ SUNDAES

SOUTHWEST CORN MUFFINS

Use a boxed corn bread mix and add a small can of drained Mexican style corn and 1/2 tsp OSSR Southwest Zest Mix for each box of cornbread mix.  Prepare  according to instructions.  These will be the base.

PULLED PORK

If you have tried our pulled pork at an event, this is how we do it.  This requires one pork butt and one pork picnic (uncooked ham)  Using as small knife, remove the "sleeve" from the picnic.  Set sleeve aside while both pieces get a good coat of dry rub, either Sweet BBQ or Sweet & Smoky.  We use a big disposable pan and place the butt, the picnic, and the sleeve all in.  We place them in dense oak smoke for about 1 hour.  (Remember, you can use a gas grill as a smoker if you have a pan for your wood and put that on the hot side, meat on cooler side. It may take a bit longer than a regular smoker to get good smoke flavor.)  Remove to an oven or turn the smoke off and finish.  Keep the pan bottom covered in liquid so the juices can be used in the sauce.  When the bone pulls out easily, it is done.

Before they cool off, we start pulling by hand and fork and yes, I do sometimes burn my fingers.  The sacrifice of art.  We remove any fat, bones, or other material that we don't want to eat.  When they are pulled and mixed, add sauce.  Our recipe for this much is 1- 28 oz can tomato sauce,1- 12oz jar molasses, 3/4 cup honey, 1/2 cup spicy brown mustard, 2 tbsp dried minced onion, and 1 1/2 tbsp OSSR BBQ rub and 1 cup hot water.  Combine in a sauce pan and turn off once thoroughly heated.  Add back to pork, combine well, and place back in the oven for 1 hour at 350 deg.  We call this "Happy Hour".  We will cool this off and store in 2 lb bags in the freezer between parties.

BAKED BEANS

Sometimes we use canned with GMJ added.  Other times we take canned navy beans, add molasses, ketchup, cooked bacon, and minced raw onion, along with GMJ or GSS5P.  Combine in a sauce pan and bring to a simmer.  Turn off after the first few bubbles.  It just needs to come together, not be cooked.

1 tsp OSSR Flavor Mix  (GMJ, HGC, SWZ, TFC, PBF, or OKMFR)

1 lb uncooked pasta

Gently cook shredded onion and set aside.  We use a microwave for that.  Slowly heat milk and add cheese stirring regularly until melted.  We use either the microwave or the oven on about 200 deg for that step.  Once cheese and milk have combined for a basic sauce add the onion and divide in half. Flavor half the sauce and save the other half for a different meal or snack.  Cook the pasta and combine with flavored half of cheese sauce.

SPICY or SAVORY (No Syrup) BREAKFAST PANCAKES

Use regular pancake mix.  Add 1/2 tsp of seasoning per cup of mix and prepare as normal.  Own favorite flavors to use are GMJ, SWZ, HGC, and OKMFR.  Cover with this sauce:

1/2 lb uncooked breakfast sausage

1 cup milk

1/4 cup shredded cheddar

Crumble sausage in a pan and cook.  Drain excess fat.  Add milk and cheese and stir over low heat until melted.  Pour this over your pancake stacks, throw on a spoon of salsa to cut the fat taste, and then top with a fried egg and maybe a little Smoked Kosher Salt.
